What does it mean to submit to the government and how far does that extend? Is there ever a time to resist or stand against laws or ordinances? What about Romans 13? When does conviction and conscience take precedence over political agendas? David Ecklund joins me in this episode of the No Kontempt Podcast to talk about “The government of God”.

Half Pod 🍷 Let’s talk about the true elements of communion

⚠️ Controversial episode ⚠️ The Bible tells us not to be drunk with wine. Yet, Acts chapter 2 tells of some of the pillars of the Church being so full of the Holy Spirit, that many thought that they WERE drunk with alcohol. Can you become so full of the Spirit that you are intoxicated? Yes, you can. My friend Elijah Murrel joins me once again, as we talk about the “right kind of drunk” 🥴

Half Pod 🌲 Those who sow in tears 😭 will reap in joy 🤩

In this episode I talk about sowing and reaping. 🌾🍇🌽 There is a time to sow, and a time to reap. Many people are frustrated because they are trying to reap in a sowing season. But the principal of sowing and reaping is the same spiritually as it is naturally. You can only reap if you’ve sown, and there is a place and season in which you must reap, and you can’t do it sitting on the couch 🛋

Half Pod 👓 There is a difference between humility and timidity.

Covenant. God takes it seriously. In Genesis, He put His rainbow in the sky as a sign of His covenant to never again flood the earth. When we understand what covenant is and how God sees it, it will change how we see Him, eachother, and ourselves.

Half Pod ✈️ Have you ever been in a simulation? Sometimes God allows us to be in an environment that shows us what we would do if the rubber ever met the road.

How should we respond when storms roll in and trials come? ⛈ Jesus endured His trials by keeping His eyes 👀 on the joy set before Him. When we face a storm, we should approach it with humility, thanksgiving, and with a revelation of our reliance on God.

Extreme weather brings out the worst in a vehicle. In the same way, trials have a way of revealing the weak spots in our heart and character. ❄️ 🚗 ( This is 1 of 2 half pods I recorded while snowed in earlier this year )

What does the Bible say about suicide and self harm? Do people go to hell for committing suicide? How should you respond to suicidal feelings? In this episode, my friend Pablo joins me to talk about these questions and much more, including how to properly address and deal with suicidal thoughts and long term depression, and how to respond to friends and loved ones who are experiencing them.

Half pod! The Bible tells us to always let our words be seasoned with salt 🧂 ( This Is 1 of 2 half pods I recorded while snowed in early this year. )

Today I want to talk about praying and speaking in other tongues, and what it means to have a “heavenly prayer language”. I want to explain what the Bible has to say about Tongues, what the benefits are, and whether or not it is something God commands us to do, as well as address some concerns that people have about whether or not tongues is still relevant in the life of a believer. The goal of th...

Half Pod! 📱 Are you tired of being bombarded? It’s time to UNSUBSCRIBE!

Let’s talk about Cancel Culture. My Friend Zach Pledger joins me in this episode to discuss the “write off” ideology that has seemed to infiltrate our generation, and what Bible has to say about such things. God is not quick to “cancel” us for our mistakes. In addition to that, We should not be afraid of being shut down by the world for refusing to shut up about the truth.

Half pod 👔 What is your “Sunday best”?

What is the right way to worship? What’s the right style? Ambient guitar? An organ? A choir? Jesus said that the day was coming when we would not worship God on this particular mountain, or that building, in this way or that way, but we would worship in Spirit and in Truth. Join my friend Micah Herbert and I on today’s episode of the No Kontempt podcast, as we discuss what it means to truly worshi...

Half pod 💭 It is not wrong to want influence. It is not wrong to want to grow and expand. But what is your motive and method? Jesus said, if you want to be great, you must become as the least of all.

Music: everybody enjoys it and identifies with it in some form or fashion. From old hymns on a B3 organ to distortion guitar bleeding out of the headphones of a 15 year old, everyone receives of the “ministry of music”. The question that arises is this: What is being ministered? Music reaches out and grabs hold of the human soul. It was created to move us. But what is it moving you toward? Click p...

Half Pod ⚡️The power of God is as real as electricity.

As a believer, It’s so important to stay charged up, abiding in the vine, maintaining an even flow. But there are sometimes that God sends us a current that is not business as usual—they’re called awakenings. Jesus wants to glorify His Church so that we are not only letting our little light 💡shine, but radiating with the power and presence of God.

Half Pod 🦾 How are we supposed to come to God?

Jesus said that it is not the whole that need a physician, but the sick. One of God’s names is Jehovah Rapha - The Lord my healer. He is the Great Physician. Whether you or someone you know is dealing with a common cold or cancer, a disappointment or a major heartbreak, a case of anxiety or all out schizophrenia, the Doctor is in, and walk ins are welcome.

Half pod 🍩 No matter what we face in life, we must never stop enjoying God 🍦

1 year anniversary podcast! Why is it that people always seem to try and put new wine into old wineskins? Why do we try to fit the new things that God wants to do into old ways of thinking, old ways of doing things? Why do we get so caught up in what I call “personal tradition”? God has new wine, new vision, but we have to throw out the old ways of thinking, the tradition, yesterday’s template. Th...
