Let us know what you think! Ever wondered what would happen if the modern Church experienced Pentecost exactly like the Book of Acts describes it?

Let us know what you think! This week on the podcast, we dive headfirst into some of the questions most Christians quietly think about but rarely say out loud.

Let us know what you think! This week on Thinking Out Loud with Pastor-D , we celebrate Mother’s Day by discussing one of the wildest stories in the entire Bible — a prophetess, a hesitant warrior, a woman with a tent spike, and a guy who really should’ve been more suspicious of warm milk and hospitality.

Let us know what you think! There’s a version of Christianity that feels safe—polished, agreeable, and careful not to ruffle feathers. And then there’s the version we see in Scripture… the kind that gets people thrown in prison. Today, we’re talking about the difference. John the Baptist didn’t hedge his words. He didn’t soften truth to protect his reputation. He called things what they were—boldl...
