2 Pentecostals and a Microphone

In this episode, we discuss our love of books and share our current reading list. We also share some of our favorite books and some recommendations. Speaking of books, we are looking forward to some upcoming interviews with a few published authors. In the next few weeks, we will be talking with Nathan Maki (The Keeper's Crown, The War Within Series), Lori Wagner (Preach Like a Lady, The Girl in th...

In this episode, the hosts take on the idea of God as a "clockmaker" that was discussed with Joe McKinney in episode 17. Is God really "hands off"? Did he simply create everything with a mechanism that runs indefinitely, only requiring periodic adjustments? Does he have his hand in every thing that happens on earth and in the cosmos? Can we really even know? Our opinion is different from Joe's, so...

In part two of our interview with Joe McKinney, we move away from theology and faith to spend some time exploring our friendship. We discuss our years playing in various bands. We had a great time recording this episode and we hope that comes across as you listen. We hope you can get to know us better through this discussion. We have some exciting interviews coming up in the next few months. We wi...

In this very special episode, Bryce and I sit down with listener and long-time friend, Joe McKinney for a discussion of his faith journey. Joe's perspective is unique. He grew up in the Apostolic church, but left during his teen years. His journey of faith has taken him on a long and winding path, exploring Buddhism, Catholicism, and Deism along the way. I believe there is a lot that we, as Pentec...

The issue of gun ownership and gun control has been a hot-button topic for many years in the United States. Every mass shooting re-ignites the debate. We recorded this episode shortly after the tragic shooting at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas that left 26 dead and more wounded. We understand this is a sensitive subject, but we want to try to open a discussion regarding how...

Larry is pastor of The Tabernacle in Seymour, Indiana, which includes a daycare, K-12 school, jail ministry, and 4 daughter churches, including a Spanish church in Seymour....

How will the rapid development of artificial intelligence change our world? What are the ethical concerns surrounding these developments? Does the drive toward the "singularity" (the point where AI multiplies our intelligence by 1 billion) signal the end of mankind? Is it crossing the line of "playing God"? Should we fear AI? Oppose it? Embrace it? Bryce and Jaredith put on their Futurist hats to...

In this episode we sit down with Rev. Aaron Arrowood to discuss youth ministry, Christian education, and his book, “Counter Cultural Youth Ministry”.

Episode 11 wraps up our look at the impact of Martin Luther and the Reformation on Christianity and the world at large. This episode will be released on October 31st, 2017, exactly 500 years from the day Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenburg, Germany. Will we be content with the Reformation of the 16th century or will we take this opportunity to reflect and realign ou...

We felt that this bonus episode was necessary due to some accusations that were thrown at our church over the past few days. We posted a video promoting our "Trunk or Treat" event on our church's Facebook page and got some negative feedback. One man went so far as to call us "demonic" and informed us that we were "fake Apostolics" and were "all going to hell". Such brotherly love... such a Christl...

Many positive changes came about as a result of the reformation. Not only did the Protestant movement rise from the efforts of Luther and other reformers, but slowly an internal reformation began to grow inside the Catholic church. This all came at a cost, however. The Reformation and related events triggered many uprisings, rebellions, feuds, religious wars, and inquisitions which resulted in the...

The 5 Solas of the Reformation are five basic doctrines that form the foundation of Luther's theology and undergird the entire protestant movement. These doctrines are at the core of most Christian denominations, including the Apostolic movement. An understanding of these five "solas" is fundamental to understanding the Reformation and basic Christian theology. Please take the time to subscribe, r...

For 2 Pentecostals and a Microphone host, Jaredith Mize ( www.jaredithmize.com ), the road to ministry wasn't a smooth or direct one. In this interview, he recounts his journey of faith. Following an early baptism and infilling of the Holy Ghost, he struggled to relate in the church during his angst-filled teen years and his early twenties. During this period, he played in a rock band that constan...

In Episode 5, Jaredith and Bryce discuss the mass exodus of millennials from the church. They try to understand the driving force behind this phenomena and pinpoint exactly what millennials want from the church. More than any previous generation, millennials value honesty and authenticity, especially from leaders. This authenticity is not found in churches that are trying hard to be relevant at th...

In this episode, the hosts discuss Biblical and pastoral directives for holy living and personal convictions. These are commonly referred to as "holiness standards" and vary widely from church to church, among different organizations, and in different cultures and geographical areas. Please note that neither Bryce, nor Jaredith claim to be a spiritual authority for any listener. Listeners should h...
