We're back at it again with a pair of article reviews. We take a look at Samuel Sey's brilliant article,  Unvaccinated People Are Not the Virus and John Piper's confusing  A Reason To Be Vaccinated: Freedom . We turn it up to 11 in this mega episode. Take a listen and let us know what you think! 

We're back with a bit more of a structured episode like we used to do back in the day. This one is a doozy. Track with us as we update you on several different news stories that broke this week, and tie them all back to the curse in the Garden of Eden. This is a heavy episode dealing with headlines on sensitive topics in the LGBTQ/sexual assault sphere. It's never our intent to be crass, but we fe...

We were SO blessed to have been able to go down to G3 in Atlanta! Here's a recap!  FYI, we were both SO tired and out of it. But we love you and wanted to get it out anyway haha. 

We've got ANOTHER doozy for you this week! We had a chat with Pastor Jacob Reaume of Trinity Bible Chapel in Waterloo, Ontario. We learned more about what's happened with Trinity this past year, the lengths the government went to stifle Christ's Bride, and what's happening now. With candor, clarity, and conviction Pastor Jacob hammered out answers for us, and we think you'll love this episode! Lis...

THE PATRIARCH IS IN THE HOUSE! Justin and Jesse have their Pop, John, in for a recording on some hot topics. We cover hardcore school boards, drone strikes on civilians, and Facebook fact checkers. Oh my! See some of you at the G3 Conference next week! CREDITS Audio Post Production by Jaeger Winckler Jaeger is a high school senior who enjoys writing, theology, audio editing, and music. He has many...

We're back with another episode that was recorded LIVE for our friends over at Facebook. We take a look at President Biden's recent overreach a la the Department of Labor. They're mandating all businesses with over 100 employees be compliant with the vaccine, or face a $14,000/wk/violation fine! Geez this is getting nuts. Listen in as Jesse and Justin talk vaccine, governmental tyranny, and what t...

Some reflections on the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. 

We are BEYOND excited to have on Gracelife's Pastor James Coates and his wife Erin! There's literally nothing we could put into this text box that would accurately convey how blown away by this episode we are. We talk about James' arrest, Erin's reaction, how Gracelife responded, and how mind-blowingly faithful God was through it all and continues to be to them, their family, and their church. Oh,...

Oh boy! MORE John Cooper! This is the other half of our conversation. If you haven't gone to listen to our other episode with John on the Afghanistan crisis, you're missing out. But in this episode we get a little more broad. We discuss Christians in combat roles and what to make of it. The Godly Grunts mission is to  Make soldiers better Christians and Christians better soldiers. John talks about...

Best part of a good ol' church potluck is you never know what you're gonna get! Join us as we chat about a little bit of everything in this mega episode. From government assistance programs to v*x passports in church, we've got it covered.  SCRIPTURE & RESOURCES Acts 2, 2 Thess. 3 This horrible piece on vacks passports in church.

Hey guys, we're back! Afghanistan is being torn apart. #foreignpolicymatters What has happened in Afghanistan, what's going on now, and what can we do about it? Well we invite John Cooper, Army Sniper Veteran, to help us answer those questions from a distinctly Christian perspective. Buckle up, lot's of great information in here for you guys. Stay tuned for the other half of our conversation with...

Ohhhhh here it is! A few weeks ago our account was BLOCKED by The Gospel Coalition Canada for providing some biblical insight in contrast to some...well...unbiblical insight to one of their articles. It wasn't just us. We've learned that TGC Canada and many of its authors are in the habit of doing this on all their social accounts. They need to listen to our episode on cancel culture! Anyway, we d...

We had the chance to sit down with Pastor Aaron Rock of Harvest Bible Church in Windsor, Ontario to discuss everything from illness to responding to tyrannical government players. We had a blast interviewing Aaron, and we think you'll glean a ton of great insights from this episode. Check it out and share it with your friends! CREDITS A YUUGE shoutout to one of our church members, Josh Cruz for he...

We're like the Ms. Frizzle of history. Alright, that oversold it, but we have your attention! You might have seen Cuba hitting the news channels in the past few weeks, but have you really taken the time to understand it and mull it over from a Christian perspective? Now's your chance! Jesse & Justin go way back to 1946 and dive in to what's known as the Long Telegram detailing what Communism i...

In this special episode we continue our July theme of Liberty by dishing out a sermon Justin preached at our church, Missio Dei Church on May 17th, 2020. If you're careful about your dates, you'll notice this is towards the beginning end of our COVID-19 pandemic, and the sermon served as a timely one given the cultural climate at the time, and, perhaps, even more relevant today than it was then. ...

This past week we celebrated the birth of America. Much has happened over the past year pertaining to the liberties we have and how they interplay with fear. The world was taken by storm with the COVID-19 pandemic last year and everyone- from policy makers to parishoners- weaponized fear in very effective ways. Why does this happen? Why is fear such a useful tool to those in power? How does salvat...

We've got a special episode for you this week! Introducing **drumroll please**  the  Blake Long! Blake reached out to us and sent us a copy of his new book, Gospel Smugness: Displaying Christlike Character In Evangelism and we had him on to dive into some of the themes a bit more. We talk about "Tone Police," what to do if you're afraid to share the Truth, and more. So dive in and grab yourself a...

On this episode, Jesse and Justin dive into the SBC 21 event and offer their take on what went down. Abortion, CRT, and elections! Yay! We're no Baptist experts (we're non-denominational ourselves), but hopefully you'll glean something from this topic! SCRIPTURE & RESOURCES Founder's post-conference write-up Free The State's coverage of the Abortion Abolition Resolution Jon Harris & Conver...

Join Justin and Jesse on another episode as Jesse gets himself into hot water on a Facebook post for "Pride Month" (aka- June). They discuss the 11th commandment of niceness and compare it to biblical kindness, truth, and love. A great excurses into the "niceness culture" that has so captivated saints and sinners alike. Welcome to 2021! SCRIPTURE & RESOURCES Romans 1:25; Isaiah 5:20; John 6:60...

Justin and Jesse bite off more than they can chew (are you shocked??) as they dive into Marxism and Critical Theory. Jesse's been reading  What Every Christian Should Know About Social Justice by Jeffrey D. Johnson which was the catalyst for this topic (you should buy the book...seriously!). Critical Theory builds on a foundation of Marxism, and strives to deconstruct language and knowledge itself...

We've got a hot one! Jesse and Justin have had some recent conversations on the topic of whether or not our Canadian brothers and sisters are being persecuted up there to the North. We analyze an article by the Calgary Herald, and respond with some Bible to what are very  un biblical responses to our faithful brothers and sisters. Buckle up and listen in! SCRIPTURE & RESOURCES Calgary Herald a...

As if things couldn't get any weirder, Culture is now trying to ruin Mother's Day. Stripping women of their dignity, they've chosen to replace women and mothers with "birthing people." Yeah...not even kidding. Join Jesse and Justin as they try to figure out what the heck is going on, and shed some biblical light on why women are so crucial to God's economy. * we do apologize for the audio glitches...

The boys are back at it discussing something of fundamental importance: How do we figure out how to act based on our view on the objective vs. subjective discussion on Truth? Come along with the CF team on this philosophical, theological, and (sometimes) hilarious trip and be edified.  SCRIPTURE & RESOURCES G.I. Pat from The Babylon Bee I don't actually think we referenced a ton else...sorry P...

Episode 020 in the books! This week the boys talk about the Doctrine of Lesser Magistrates and the Magdeberg Confession in light of the Arkansas legislatures overturning their Governor's veto of a bill that would allow the irreversible mutilation of their kids.  The church needs to get on the treadmill, cause we got some fat sheep and fat shepherds laying down in the face of tyrannical wolves. And...

Join Justin & Jesse as they do a deep dive into your psyche ...oooooOOOOOOoooooo. Or rather just the authoritative Word of God...to examine the issues our culture is having with Identity. It's long been said that  one of the most pressing questions facing human kind is Who am I? Well, good thing God doesn't leave us hanging. Does our behavior determine who we are? Or does something...someOne e...
