The WOFOYO Podcast

We conclude our Days of Rebuilding series by getting the book of Nehemiah and its parallels to today. While Ezra focused more on the Spiritual rebuilding of Israel, Nehemiah is a decidedly more political book and at times sounds eerily familiar to today's political climate. #wofoyo               https://wofoyo.org/

In this short, C-Dub examines Matthew 12 how Jesus had those who were out to find fault in whatever they did.  It really boiled down to two things: The competency of Jesus and the jealousy of the Pharisees. #wofoyo                https://wofoyo.org/

In this full-length episode, C-Dub and Bones get into the book of Ezra to look into some parallels between the return of exile from Babylon/Persia and what is going on in the Unites States today.  History has a way of repeating itself. Will it do so again? https://wofoyo.org/ #wofoyo

In this short, C-Dub reads from Matthew 11 and Jesus' evaluation of John the Baptist. The religious leaders as well as others criticized both John the Baptist and Jesus, so why do we think we'll be any different when we serve God as we are led by the Holy Spirit?   #wofoyo             https://wofoyo.org/

We conclude our discussion of "What does it hurt?". Quite often we are asked this question when people want to engage in unscriptural behavior and have the church condone it.  We bring up some more of these topics and talk about the damage that can occur. #wofoyo                     https://wofoyo.org/

In this Short, C-Dub recalls a saying from his favorite preacher: "Peas don't mean much until they're on your plate." We often think we know something but until we go through it and sometimes go through it repeatedly do we really learn, especially when it comes to walking out the Word of God. #wofoyo           https://wofoyo.org/

We mentioned on a previous episode how several times when we have pointed out that certain activities and mindsets are unscriptural, we are often met with the question "What does it hurt?".  Well since there's nothing new under the sun, you can go find examples of how it has happened in Scripture and see the harm things produced in the past and will continue to do in the present if...

C-Dub talks about how the corporate church world can encourage you to focus on secondary and tertiary things that really don't have much to do with your relationship with Christ, which is the main thing.  Before you try and be some pastor's "armor bearer", focus on being a disciple of Jesus Christ. #wofoyo            https://wofoyo.org/

For the last 3 years, the Lord has shared with C-Dub some things to look forward to in the upcoming year.  For 2025, He shared with me the prophecy of Simeon over Jesus and to Mary.  In short, there will be contention, the rise and fall of many, and a sword piercing our hearts, and true motives being exposed. #wofoyo                     https://wofoyo.org/

In the book of Esther, Haman wanted to build 75 foot gallows to hang Mordecai on.  It's a tale of revenge and political intrigue.  In today's environment, the social justice crowd would be rooting it on. However there's a moral in this story to be careful in our own lives about being eager to build gallows for others.  Sometimes those same gallows can hang us up as well.  It also be...

We conclude our discussion of Projection by getting into Scriptural examples of projection and how people today will often gaslight you and then play the victim when they're caught.  We also talk about the importance of standards and ideals, despite the fact that we often fall short. Thank God for Grace. #wofoyo                  https://wofoyo.org/

A while back C-Dub and Bones talked about the concept of the Ancient Landmark in Proverbs 22:28.  It describes a concept of eliminating conflict and confusion by maintaining standards and ideals-Such is the Word of God.  However, a recent experience caused C-Dub to gain some additional insights on the application and importance of Ancient Landmarks-understanding times and seasons. #wofoyo        ...

In this episode we discuss the principle of projection-where people impute something that they are doing themselves onto others.  This isn't always in a negative sense, but it is rarely the truth and can be harmful.  We talk about some of the ways this manifests and give Scriptural examples. #wofoyo

In this Short, C-Dub talks about rumors, some of the things the Bible says about them, how to handle them, and also relates some family stories. Never forget that the Word of God is Truth and when you get into the Word for Yourself, it negates the rumors and falsehoods. #wofoyo

We continue to discuss the importance of the Five-Fold Ministry as explained by Paul in Ephesians 4.  Specifically, we talk about what we miss out on when we don't recognize one or more of those functions.  What blind spots could be avoided? How has the echo chamber mentality kept us from being united as a Body in love? #wofoyo                   https://wofoyo.org/

In this Short, C-Dub talks about a phrase used in one of our favorite TV show: The Unit. "What is permitted of others is not permitted of you."  As we grow, it is not uncommon for the Lord to give us some version of this principle in our walk with Him. We give some Scriptural references where this has been the case. #wofoyo                https://wofoyo.org/

In this episode we get into Ephesians 4 and Paul's exhortation about the function of what is commonly called the Five-Fold Ministry.  It says that these are for the equipping of the Saints for the work of the ministry. But what does that mean?  Is it possible that we've had a wrong concept about what ministry is? Is ministry something that is intended to be way more common and therefore...

In this Short, C-Dub recounts the story of Micaiah from 1st Kings 22.  Sometimes the Lord will tell you something and you will be the only one.  Everyone else will be saying the opposite and saying it's God.  Heck of a place to be. #wofoyo          https://wofoyo.org/

We continue our shooting the bull session by talking about God using the right man for the right time, what you don't see behind the scenes in ministry, the neutering of manhood in the Western church, and ambiguous Christian movies.

In this Short, C-Dub navigates the controversial waters of accusation, how history can repeat itself, and dependence upon the Holy Spirit during these times of realignment and accusation. #wofoyo              https://wofoyo.org/

Every now and then C-Dub and Bones just shoot the bull and talk about various topics and how they relate to the Word.  In this episode, we get into the topics of parameters that God sets and Christian Manhood.....You know real manhood, not the sissified stuff most churches push on you.

In the last WOFOYO SHORT, C-Dub talked about feeling sorry for those who were having breakdowns over the election results.  In this short, he gets into Scripture and talks about the danger of constantly being programmed, not knowing how to think critically, and most importantly not knowing how to get into the Word of God and know the Voice of the Holy Spirit. #wofoyo                   https://wofo...

We continue to discuss Scriptural instances where God used people that don't fit our preconceived theological notions.  Also, we tell a few Army stories. #wofoyo               https://wofoyo.org/

Well, we've had an election. Now what?  If we are going to navigate these waters with a proper Kingdom compass, we better understand the process of how God often does things and everything that comes with it.  Kingdom works way more often through process than instantly.  All in all walk in love, but also be spiritually aware. #wofoyo                     https://youtu.be/_UUzAfondGg?si=RMWw2SM...

Recently C-Dub was in a conversation where an idea was put forth that God can't or won't use someone who doesn't fit certain theological criteria.  We debunk that in this episode. Part one of two.         #wofoyo                 https://wofoyo.org/
