FriDudes - Getting Real. Pursuing Truth.

Yes!  You are in!  Do you have cousins that you really, really love?  My cousin Wado is one of them.  And sometimes you don't always see eye to eye with your loved ones.  Here are some Deeper reflections from the CO road on the way to MN.

Yes!  You are in!  More from the roadie.  You feeling down?  One, you are not alone?  Two, this episode tackles some promises and best practices of rising above darkness.  Here you go!

Yes!  You are in.  Road trip from Southern California to Minnesota.  If you and I were sitting in a car, here are some nuggets that would either drive you crazy or maybe you would say 'Cool!' ;). If you dig, then please share with and encourage someone else that maybe should go on a road trip with you.

DT is in the hizzy!  DT was a key founding member of FriDudes about 20 years ago.  He also once told us we were too inward looking.  This guy will push you out of your comfort zone in a great way.  Buckle up, here you go! Early days, history lesson Community outreach Lessons learned Shifting to Gospel centered service approach The difference to inviting to church vs. guaranteed sharing of Good New...

Yes!  You are in!  Thanks for making it in.  You ready for some reflection?  You called?  You sure?  This is Tom back at ya...aka...TommyP.  As you heard in the last episode, things went dry for me.  It happens.  It's part of the test.  There will be times when things go dry for you too.  What happened to the flow?  Pause, pray and reflect is what you need to know.  So I prayed, and then Case...

Yes!  You are in!  Casey...the Jogging Jesus is back!  He's not Jesus.  He just looks like him and loves him more than most Christians that I know.  For the avid listener you will notice seasons of dryness with the FriDudes podcast...gaps between episodes.  Confession, I went dry.  And I wasn't going to force content just to keep up with a schedule.  I simply prayed on it.  God, what&apo...

Yes!  You are in!  BW is back!  And I must confess, I'm guilty of this.  Coming with rules vs. leading with love.  I can be a hypocrite. Hey, if something does need to be corrected, then we are commanded to do it in a loving way, check James 5: 19-20.  For we are all flawed, Rom 3:23.  So anyone wishing to correct you is also flawed.  Hence we all need Rom 8:1.  Intrigued?  Here is the latest...

Yes!  You are in!  Deeper is back.  Deep takes for the select few that can handle them.  Rehma...what is that?  Confession, I didn't know until Casey shared the world.  No matter how smart you think you are...there is always room for improvement.  So here you go for those pushing themselves to go Deeper...

Yes!  You are IN!  Casey is back.  The Jogging Jesus brings it again.  If you any of you are frustrated with religion...here you go...

Yes!  You are in!  And Casey is back!  Aka the Jogging Jesus with some more Deep takes.  Most of you don't.  Don't what?  Glad you asked, tune in and find out...here you go!

Yes!  You are in!  It has been a few weeks of delays.  Somebody doesn't want this published.  Yet, perseverance and patience pays.  Here is Chapter 7, 'Something Positive' from 'Test to Testimony'. No matter how dark and terrible something is.  There is Light.  It is your choice to go and pursue that Light or wallow in the darkness.    Oh and it can still be challenging as...

Yes!  You are in!  Simon's got more.  You ready?  Restored is a powerful and fulfilling word.  We all seek peace and acceptance.  For those wrestling, here are some encouraging words for you...here you go..

Yes!  You are in!  Simon's back. We are dealing with some Interference.  You too?  When you get on the right path, the enemy will play.  You are not alone.  Here you go...

Yes!  You are in!  On a roll with Simon, struggling in a land of distraught...yet not giving up while walking through that valley, here is Chapter 4, 'God with You in the Desert'...

Yes!  You are in!  This may be one of the craziest interviews I've done.  Not that Simon is crazy.  Just what was said and done to him.  Question, how would you handle this Bomb?

Yes!  You are in.  Simon forges ahead recapping his trippy dream to several quite remarkable experiences bridging the gap and bewildered on what just happened and what it all means.  Going from the dream(s) and now working back into awake.

Chapter 1, The Dream From Test to Testimony: How God prepared me, removed me, then restored me From what many would consider to be the perfect life, a man receives a gift in a dream. This dream would turn out to be preparation for the ending of his life as he knew it, ending his marriage of 22 years, and mapping out a new path with God as the GPS.

Yes!  You are in!  And Simon makes his debut.  Have your ever gone from 'things are going really good' to what the blank is going on?!  Ever had a vivid dream that proceeded it and now helps make sense of things?  Things that make you go hmmmm.  Bottom line, if you are feeling hopeless right now, so did Simon.  He shares from how he went from hopeless to full of Hope.  

Just about everybody wants to avoid a crisis (for themselves).  The media feeds off of it.  Whatever happened to Murder Hornets anyway?  What good can come out of a crisis?  A lot.  In fact, it can be life changing for the better...forever.  Here is some wise perspective as you reflect on where you have been, where you are and where you may be...

Yes, you are in!  And another BW HG Nugget!  Storms of life, you know them.  We are promised tough times.  For those in the storm, we need to hold onto our Faith.  This a a great reflection on this subject.

Yes!  You are in!  Buried Treasure Recovered and a gift for you or perhaps your loved one with whom you are sharing this.  Many do not realize the ancient Jewish manuscripts and how they point to the greatest give you can ever receive.  This is from a couple of years ago, yet priceless...here you go...Merry Christmas...

Yes!  You are in!  BW is back with another HG Nugget!  This one is short and sweet...like a stocking stuffer.  By the way, if you have something to say, hit us up at the 'Contact Us' page at FriDudes.com.  For now, here you go.... Needs vs. Wants. Simple and straight to the point. Contentment vs. Happiness.

Thank you Pastor Rick!  You can find more of that at DailyHope, "God Tests Your Faith, Part 3" on the 12th of December 2022 Tests, life is a test.  And at times it can be super crappy Do you have Faith when you don't know the answers?
