Nelly's B.S.

Let's take a step back... how do we know a teaching is a False Gospel? We'll look at past known false gospels to understand the cultural need at the time and context that brings them about. We'll also look at the side effects and the destruction it caused and can cause so that we can look forward and protect our minds and hearts from false hopes. Ephesians 4:14 "so that we may no longer be childre...

This might not be THE answer, but it's maybe something you haven't heard or tried before... Change your relationship with doing/duty. don't do FOR or because you HAVE to or NEED to, do WITH and because it's a GOOD THING in the present and for the future. Thanks again for checking out this episode! I hope there was something useful you got from here, I'll see you here next week on Fridays as early...

Hebrews 5:9 was the bane of my existence for about 3 days... Thank God for scholars, I stand on their shoulders. I hope this inspires you. I know there is a generation of Atheists that left the faith because they couldn't find answers to honest questions. This doesn't have to be the case anymore! Thanks again for checking out this episode! I hope there was something useful you got from here, I'll...

Oh boy... Not too harsh but hopefully a perspective shift on how we see our dependencies, our leanings, and what we put our hope in... If it ain't Jesus, we're doing it wrong. Idolatry is the word.

A HUGE question I go back and forth on, I wonder if it has to do with my biases and maybe even what I'm going through in the moment. I want to get to the bottom of it and I'm taking you on the journey with me. I don't want to be subjective because I want the truth so bad! Today we touch on how Judah Smith's radically gracious theology is actually starting to make a lot of sense... This will reliev...

I don't know if you've heard of this argument? I don't know if you've ever had this idea? What biases led to us thinking God is Masculine? Today we find out the truth Thanks again for checking out this episode!

I want to get to the bottom of it and I'm taking you on the journey with me. I don't want to be subjective because I want the truth so bad! Today we touch on   How there is technically no "me" and it's always a "we"... So is our grieving God personal? or is it h...

Starting in Matthew 4, I go through one of the weirdest interactions in the Bible... I do though, like perhaps Jordan Peterson would do, I try to reach for the interpersonal lessons and representative symbols that apply to our lives. Treating it this way though, does not take away from the validity and truth of this story. Thanks again for checking out this episode! I hope there was something usef...

A HUGE question I go back and forth on, I wonder if it has to do with my biases and maybe even what I'm going through in the moment. I want to get to the bottom of it and I'm taking you on the journey with me. I don't want to be subjective because I want the truth so bad! Today we touch on  preliminary thoughts. Is our sin personal to God? What is perfection? It's hard to answer these questio...

This Co-worker gave me some food for thought. We talk about how different devout Christians are from the rest of the world by being EMPOWERED to be Christlike... Our perspective changes in a way that we're not in a psychological/emotional/physical/spiritual scarcity mindset. Thanks again for checking out this episode! I hope there was something useful you got from here, I'll see you here next week...

Whew! I've just been ranting out here lately! But how relevant is this conversation!? P.S. Somebody tell MY MOM that I'm doing the Lord's work. Also, The album has BEEN OUT. "Bootleg Suicide Presents: Girls! Girls! Girls!" by Nelson De Mello. Check it out, low-key still makes me cry! Thanks again for checking out this episode! I hope there was something useful you got from here, I'll see you here...

A little chaotic today, this episode is a bummer, the other this week is not, both very introspective. I hope this one isn't too hopeless though! It's ironic and shows my Ambivalence, but a week apart I go from Melancholy to Exuberance. I've decided to put these two episodes together so look out for "Passion v. discipline: A Passion Rant 2/2" Thanks again for checking out this episode! I hope ther...

Am I right on this one? I'm genuinely curious... Let me know on whatever platform you're on. It's ironic and shows my Ambivalence, but a week or so apart, I go from Melancholy to Exuberance. I've decided to put these two episodes together, so look out for "A Morbid Rant 1/2". Thanks again for checking out this episode! I hope there was something useful you got from here, I'll see you here next wee...

Quite a Doozy.. or Is It? The interesting thing is that people just don't read the Bible for what it is... It's way more life giving than anyone's interpretation. Take away the suffocating Self-Righteousness and the Liberal Anarchy and be left with God's safety net and wisdom. These are the passages that speak directly about divorce. The first four are Jesus' quotes, the last is Apostle Paul (St....

As I've looked back at my transformation, I think back at why I identified with things that were no good for me. I realized that I believe about myself lies that I've told myself... or something even more sinister... I don't talk about it here but Satan literally means "the accuser". Whether figuratively, literally, or metaphysically, I could say that Satan may have had a little too much real esta...

We CANNOT be shy to be real, authentic, with God. Those who were most intimate with God argued (Abraham and Moses) and wrestled God one instance even literally (Jacob). It's ok to not understand, to doubt, to not agree, but don't leave it at that. WRESTLE WITH GOD. Thanks again for checking out this episode! I hope there was something useful you got from here, I'll see you here next week on Friday...

Is it true? Can you only understand the heart of the matter through the Holy Spirit? can we rationalize the Bible's teachings? Actually these are loaded questions... Of course we can rationalize them... IF our foundation is Christ: His death and resurrection. Without it, it's all foolishness and a stumbling block (1 Cor. 1:23) Thanks again for checking out this episode! I hope there was something...

Something I never really get tired of talking about, it becomes so essential. This is a sermon I preached early in the year and it's something I'll forever be working on and being intentional about meditating on because it gives the most freedom: Having the Fear of the LORD. Thanks again for checking out this episode! I hope there was something useful you got from here, I'll see you here next week...

What does it look like to obey God? What does it take to obey God? What If I disobey? We'll be looking at these questions and more in our Obedience series! Today we'll be looking at Jesus as the perfect role model for obedience. Even Jesus slightly hesitated to take the cup of wrath, but obedience isn't always so hard and harsh. Sometimes, when we're aligned and have the wisdom, we desire obedienc...

THE AUDACITY I have to say you don't love... let me explain... Thanks again for checking out this episode!

Today we'll be looking at Jonah and how he gets a second chance, how our disobedience can effect the people around us and vice versa... WARNING: I talk about some heavier topics... I try not to be vulgar and I think I've succeeded. This is a ha...

Set apart church? Unconditional love? Is that even healthy? A brief contemplation on these things... Give your input! I want to learn more!

What does it look like to obey God? What does it take to obey God? What If I disobey? We'll be looking at these questions and more in our Obedience series! Today we'll be looking at Detours and if that really effects God's plan for us. Interestingly enough, we get our answer when we look MACROSCOPIC at God's plan, sovereignty and wisdom! Thanks again for checking out this episode! I hope there was...

What does it look like to obey God? What does it take to obey God? What If I disobey? We'll be looking at these questions and more in our Obedience series! Today we'll be looking at Maybe counter-intuitive but have you considered the fear of the Lord being an additive fuel to why we ought to obey? Thanks again for checking out this episode!
