The Things We Say

We came in with no plan, did no research, and made . . . this! These are the things we say off the top of our head about: visualizing months, Iran, 4D chess, the fracturing of political movements, and so many other rabbit trails. Enjoy! FWIW - we found out later, the Plum Island lab leak theory for Lymes disease is still largely a rumor. Like we said, no research was done in the making of this epi...

In this episode the guys discuss what they have been reading lately, followed by a far-ranging discussion about UFO disclosure and alien encounters. This is a fun thought exercise since these kind of topics cannot be known precisely or with a high degree of certainty. That's why these stories and discussions always remain shrouded in mystery, fables, and myth! Here's links to some of the m...

There are plenty of ways that well-meaning Christians get distracted, and at worst, wholly captured by movements, schemes, and other mind traps.

This episode was recorded the same evening that we heard about & saw the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Sometimes being on a platform obscures the view of the work and preparation it takes to serve well. This goes beyond the ministry context. We see it played out in sports, business, public speaking, etc. Nearly every time someone does something excellent, they make it look easy... but it's not. So you have a call from God on your life. What do you do next? Run up on the first stage you find? How do...

Christians have all kinds of phrases that don't come from Scripture. There's even more sayings and proverbs that sound biblical that culture often attributes to the church that aren't backed up by Scripture. This week the guys challenge some of these common phrase by holding them up and examining a few of them, one at time. If you think of a few more, please feel free to drop us a note below: We r...
