Two Baptists and a Mormon Walk Into a Pentecostal Church
Two Baptists and a Mormon Walk Into a Pentecostal Church isn’t a joke—it’s our real story. Three friends from different faith backgrounds share how we ended up in the same Spirit-filled church. We wrestle with theology, healing, and the wild work of the Holy Spirit—with humor, honesty, and hope. From speaking in tongues to church hurt, we’re not experts—we’re just trying to follow Jesus together. If you’ve ever felt too weird for church or too churchy for the world… you’ll fit right in.

Episode 28: Baptisim 20.03.2026 1:07:44
Sprinkled or immersed. Infant or believer. Symbol or sacrament. Trinitarian formula or Jesus name only. Baptism is the one practice every Christian tradition holds in common and almost none of them agree on. This episode takes all four debates seriously. We walk through the key texts, the strongest arguments on every side, and the places where each tradition in this room has the clearest footing a...
Episode 27 -Marketplace Ministry: Finding your purpose outside the 4 walls of the church 13.03.2026 59:49
Most Christians have been handed a version of faith that puts Sunday at the center and everything else at the edges. Church is sacred. Work is secular. Ministry is what pastors and missionaries do. Monday through Friday is just how you pay for the weekend. This episode challenges that framework at its root. We loop our kiddos in on this one! Your job is not a distraction from your calling. It migh...
Episode 26: Accountability vs. Legalism: When Church Discipline Goes Wrong 06.03.2026 1:06:05
Accountability is biblical. Legalism is dangerous. And the line between them is thinner than most churches want to admit.

We talk about what healthy correct...

In this episode, a Baptist, another Baptist, and a guy who used to be Mormon walk into the most controversial topic we have tackled yet.

Episode 24: The Bible and the Holy Spirit Working together 06.02.2026 48:18
The Bible and the Holy Spirit Working Together Some people lean only on the Bible. Others lean only on spiritual experiences.

Episode 23: How to apply the Bible without misusing it 30.01.2026 57:32

Episode 22: How to Study the Bible 23.01.2026 1:10:06
How to Study the Bible Many people read the Bible, but fewer know how to truly study it. In this episode we slow down and walk through what it means to approach Scripture with intention, humility, and depth.

Episode 19: The Dirty 'S' Word: Authority, Submission & Servant Leadership 02.01.2026 1:06:53

Episode 18: Honor vs. Worship 26.12.2025 1:04:08

Episode 15 - But Even if He doesn't: Faith When God Doesn't Meet Our Expectations 05.12.2025 1:20:44
This is a very real and raw episode. Get ready! Faith is easy when God answers our prayers the way we hoped. Faith becomes real when He does not. In this episode we talk about the kind of faith that stands in the fire. We look at the story of Shadrach Meshach and Abednego in Daniel chapter 3 and what it means to believe that God is able and that He will move yet still remain steadfast if He does n...
Episode 14: Spiritual Warfare-When the Battle Gets Real 28.11.2025 1:01:04
Most people imagine spiritual warfare as dramatic moments or intense encounters. Scripture shows the real battle is far quieter and far closer. It happens in the mind in your identity and in what you agree with. In this episode we talk about what spiritual warfare actually is. It is not fighting people. It is not chasing the devil. It is not blaming him for everything that goes wrong. Spiritual wa...
