FriDudes - Getting Real. Pursuing Truth.

Good day!  Well, last week we tackled the Prosperity Gospel.  Tackling frustrations with churches and pastors obsessed with money over heart.  As per Casey's suggestion, what about the other side?  Are you frustrated with this world and want to change it for the better?  Giving to churches and non-profits that are helping serve the poor and encouraging and building people up and the greater c...

#2 most-listened-to-episode of the popular 'Fringe' series.  For those new, what is the Fringe?  Those on the sidelines or off the grid of Christianity due to frustration and hypocrisy.  So if you are frustrated on the religious front?  Do you know someone that is being a dick in person or on social media?  This is your listen.  And perhaps an episode you can share with the one that frus...

Although technically this is not a 'Fringe' episode, how many of you are frustrated with churches/pastors being more about money?  Well, this is your listen.  Some call it the 'Prosperity Gospel' and it draws in many and pushes away many.  Here you go... Heck, my wife and I don't agree on everything.  I do take his words seriously and I will further vett this.  Just know i...

Yes, Fringe, you are hanging in there and do we have a grand finale of fireworks for you!  Vaquero brings it!  For those frustrated with too much religion, stumbling blocks and not enough heart, here you go... Word!  Thank you Vaquero.  Thank you for the ride of ups and downs.  Thank you for your heart and insights.  Thank you Fringe for sticking with us, even when we don't always agree.  As...

Thanks for joining us this week.  You frustrated with others lately?  Angry?  Depressed?  Anxious?  This is your listen.  If not, you know someone that is and perhaps you can share and help encourage them?  Here you go... Word!  You ready to change what you can change?  G has a blueprint and program that works.  If you would like to join and help shape the program and yourself, please sign up at F...

Are you frustrated with religion?  Welcome!  This is your episode.  I love Vaquero's heart on this one.  It is the most listened to episode of the Fringe.  Give it a shot.  If you know anyone frustrated with religion, will you please share?  

If you are frustrated with religion, this is your episode.  A critical take from a PK (pastor's kid).  As of 7/21/20, this is the most listened to Fringe episode.  If you dig, can you please share with anyone else you know that is frustrated with religion?

Greetings and refections from Avalon Beach.

What works and doesn't in marriage.

Yes!  You're here.  Question for you?  You ever feel like you were judged for not following the rules?  Ever been frustrated with the moral police?  Has it kept you from church or avoiding certain family members?  This is your episode.  Here you go... Rules.  Okay, rule followers, yes, we do need structure.   Structure does help.  Society and order are nice to have.  You know who else has a l...

Yes!  You are in!  You ready for some strange love?  This is one of the best messages I have ever heard on the subject of love.  So good, that is my dream that all in this world will hear it, understand it and best of all practice it...Strange Love by Dr. Lorrits… Amazing!  Strange Love.  You need it.  I need it.  They need it.  Everyone needs it.  You want to live in a fractious home or society? ...

Preface:  At FriDudes we seek truth.  What works and doesn't in life.  You'll also see that we admit we are flawed.  Truth, we are all flawed to some degree.  Hence, why we need guidance and seek wisdom.  Sometimes we get it right.  Sometimes we get it wrong.  As for this editorial opinion, some FriDudes may agree with me, some may not.  May we never cease to pursue Truth.  Here you go.....

Yes, you pushed play and you are about to receive a gift.  Some of you had terrible or absent Dads.  There is hope and you are not done yet.  What works in life and what doesn't, we pursue Truth, here you go... Man!  So good!  Thank you Dad!  Skeptic, how many societal problems could we solve with men like that?  This is the Order.  We have the blue print.  Yet, as humans we love to do it &ap...

Another look at race, legislation, solutions, hearts, the Fringe, Christianity.

Are you afraid to die?  If you say yes, you are the majority of this world.  This group is clearly not the majority.  Their answers may very well surprise you.  Why?  Here you go... Thanks for joining FriDudes this week.  Are you still afraid to die?  It's okay.  It just means you are human and not sure of all this.  Or maybe you're sure or kind a sure yet you are having a good time on t...

Despite the mayhem, you are here!  Thank you!  We strive for peace.  We strive for solutions to racial harmony and justice.  We start off with some wise words from Denzel Washington.  Here you go... Word!  Thank you Mr. Denzel Washington and your words on the importance of fathers in the home.  That is part of the solution.  As for us, we are flawed Dudes seeking Truth.  Sometimes we get it right,...

Despite the mayhem, you are back!  Thanks for joining another special sesh.  Racists, white supremacists, anarchists causing hurt and destruction.  On the other side, you got people like Patrick.  I believe he is part of the solution.  Pulling night shifts with his neighbors, loving and protecting in N Minneapolis.   Word!  Fringe you can debate God and Jesus and best path forward, very, very hard...

Heavy week at FriDudes as many of these guys live in the Minneapolis/St, Paul area.  George Floyd's life was taken and a societal bomb went off in the Twin City area and beyond.  What do we have to say about racism?  Here you go... Thanks for joining us on this heavy week.  We will tackle brutal.  We will tackle the biggest problems that ravage our world.  What if we all did that?  What if we...

Yes!  Vaquero Guapo is back!  You are in.  Fringe 7.  What happens when we get it wrong?   Thanks for joining the Fringe this week.  What happens when we get it wrong?  A lot!  It's why many of you have stayed away from church.  A church becomes more about jumping through hoops or protecting the abuser vs. the abused.  It can go sideways fast.  That's why I firmly believe in the separati...

Welcome back to FriDudes.  Bunch of flawed dudes getting real and pursuing Truth.  Today we go Old School.  Reflecting on what happened and was written thousands of years ago and how it applies and helps us better understand what you are going though right now.   Thanks for joining us this week.  It an honor to reflect with these Dudes.  Did you hear their wisdom?  Versed and wise.  This is what w...

Welcome back to a special edition and recording for a COVID update.  Warning this is part reported fact and part opinion/reflection.  These are my reflections and not of all the Dudes.  That I can promise you.  Fringe lovers, no worries, we'll get Vaquero Guapo back.  He has some work to do at his real job.  Contrary to what many of you may think with this amazing production quality, sarcasm...

Heat!  If you make it to the end, you are going to hear some carolina and ghost pepper talk.  How passionate are you for life?  For those that say one death is one too many, you are going to be challenged.  This is a test.  Here you go... Whether you are missing church like Jared or experiencing frustration with a bunch of entitled, crabby people crammed in a space demanding their food or you miss...

Oh man, I can't believe it.  You are back!  Two weeks of eating vegetables and the darkness of politics and you are still here?!  Yes!  The good news, we are moving forward... Word!  Thanks for joining the Fringe this week.  Thank you Vaquero!  That was a breath of fresh air.  We are not afraid to take the tough/crticical questions.  How about you?  Think about your friend family member or co...
