The Poison of Words: Slander and Gossip Online 22.10.2025 19:04
In this episode we look at what a slanderer and gossip are and how they are harmful to our daily walk with Christ. We ought to be careful to not slander others.

"Be imitators of me, as I imitate Christ" these are Paul's words to the Corinthian Church. The words are simple, yet impactful.

Like the Apostle Paul, we too will influence our kids to where they will imitate us. We have to make sure that we imitate a good character so th...
Identity Crisis: Creating God in Our Image 27.08.2025 25:02
In America so many Christians have flipped the script. We make everything so political, that we have lost the center of it all: The Triune God. So many of us do not study theology anymore, and we make excuses for it. But it is the study of theology that will help us realign ourselves with the truth: this world does not need politics, it needs the gospel.
Respect: Give it and It Will Be Earned 20.08.2025 14:36
"Respect isn't given, it is earned" is a modern day mantra in the US, but biblically speaking respect is something that is gained from us giving it. Respect is something that all men desire to have from their peers, and it can be obtained by not listening to the world, but by listening to Jesus. Matthew 7:12 says, "So in everything, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, for this sums...

Raising Kids in Church vs. Raising Kids in Christ 23.04.2025 21:52
In this weeks episode, I really try to focus in on the importance of raising our kids to become a Christian vs. raising them thinking they are already a christian.

Kind, but not gentle, parenting 19.03.2025 43:50
Gentle Parenting is a parenting style that is being prompted by the culture and rejected by the church as a whole.

I hope this episode is a blessing to you!
Secrets to a Happy Marriage 05.03.2025 24:31
The title is misleading, because it isn't a secret. A happy marriage starts when you decide to love your wife the way Christ lived the church. Once we love our wives sacrificially, our marriage will be a happy one.
Sensuality to Purity 26.02.2025 30:07
Sensuality is the root behind impurity in the Christian life.

Hope you tune in next week to hear what it means to be a Godly man.
Man Killer 05.02.2025 33:54
