Things You Don't Hear in Church

Psalm 137:9 Says "Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock!" For obvious reasons this comes off disturbing on face value. Is God saying we should kill the children of our enemies? Are we to literally apply this? I thought Jesus said love your enemies? All good thoughts! No, don't apply this, yes, love your enemies! Today we dive into this topic...

In recent times Biblical scholarship has become widely more accessible to the public, which overall is a good thing. However, with all good things come bad things as well. One of those bad things is that people think that just because a scholar or scholars believe something, then that becomes the absolute truth. Unfortunately, these same people might not realize that a lot of those scholars aren&#...

Sharing the gospel is already pretty intimidating and nerve-racking for the typical Christian. Even more nerve-racking is when contentious and hot-button topics like politics or sexuality arise. How does the Christian share the love of Jesus with people of the LGBTQ community? We are here to share what we think are some of the best ways to engage in respectful conversations on such hard topics. En...

Everyone and their moms have heard about ChatGBT. If you haven't, no shame - there's freedom in Jesus' name.

From Proverbs to Paul we see discipline as a necessary tool we need for our Christian walk. A lot of us hear discipline and think of something negative and we have to do rather than get to do. It might be good to reexamine discipline and look at it as a gift from God for freedom. Enjoy! Got any questions or topics you’d like to hear about?

Ephesians 5 is a challenging chapter in the Bible because it calls us to have nothing to do with the evil deeds of darkness but to even expose them. So, what is an "Evil deed of Darkness"? Is it wrong to own a smartphone because it was made by slaves? Can I listen to music that glorifies sinful and sometimes demonic things? How far does this go? Join us today as we dissect this text! Enjoy! Got an...

Today we look at how Jesus seems to be uninterested in politics. When people come to Him, He doesn't decide whether He'll help or not based on what political side they're on, if they're the oppressors or the oppressed, or if they are right winged or left winged. He simply receives everyone and calls them to follow Him and in following Him, people change their views. Enjoy! Got any...

Today we have "Christian Witch" Sarah Raztrasen on to share about her journey into witchcraft and answer some pressing questions we have regarding her view. Now, in case this wasn't obvious, we don't see eye to eye with her on a lot but we think it's important to talk to people of different views and beliefs to understand. Too many times people make assumptions about each oth...

A lot of people accuse Christians of being hypocritical and not practicing what we preach. Now, there are a lot of reasons for that like people being people and in process. It's actually a funny thing to have your faith tradition be rooted in "I need help living this life" and then people saying we're hypocrites... Like yeah that's why we're here! Anyway, today we sit dow...

Jesus commands His people to be unified, however, a lot of people wonder if that will ever be a reality in the Christian Church. We have denomination upon denomination upon denomination and that can seem like we are very divided rather than unified. But do these denominational differences truly mean we're divided? Enjoy!

Today we have Father Joe come on the show. Father Joe is an Anglican Priest and he talks with us about the beauty of liturgy, how we all have it in some form or fashion, and how high church practices have become deeply spiritual for him. Before becoming an Anglican Priest, he was a fundamentalist Baptist; before that, he wasn’t even a Christian. This conversation is both enjoyable and enlightening...

Jordan Peterson put together a multi-part series through the book of Exodus. He brings on different Christian and Jewish thinkers, including Dennis Prager, the founder of PragerU. His Jewish worldview, as he puts it, is a behavioralist worldview that only cares about the individual's actions, not the intents. Therefore, he thinks there is a justification for allowing people to watch adult film...

Humor is one of the greatest things we have as humans. It can help us heal, find joy again, bond with people, and so much more. However, it can also be weaponized and used to dismiss, belittle, and tear down people.     In our culture, memes have become the primary way people bond over comedy and enjoy humor. However, memes can also be used just like comedy to attack people.     Ephesians 5 comman...

Revivals usually have distinctive markers that are observable that classify the thing that happened as a revival. It's too soon to say if this is a revival or not. It's definitely something that seems like God is moving, and it's no small thing, it's fantastic! We rejoice that God may be meeting people in beautiful ways, and we don't want to take away from that! We just think it may be a little pr...
