How should we respond when storms roll in and trials come? ⛈ Jesus endured His trials by keeping His eyes 👀 on the joy set before Him. When we face a storm, we should approach it with humility, thanksgiving, and with a revelation of our reliance on God.

Extreme weather brings out the worst in a vehicle. In the same way, trials have a way of revealing the weak spots in our heart and character. ❄️ 🚗 ( This is 1 of 2 half pods I recorded while snowed in earlier this year )

What does the Bible say about suicide and self harm? Do people go to hell for committing suicide? How should you respond to suicidal feelings?

Half pod! The Bible tells us to always let our words be seasoned with salt 🧂 ( This Is 1 of 2 half pods I recorded while snowed in early this year. )

Today I want to talk about praying and speaking in other tongues, and what it means to have a “heavenly prayer language”. I want to explain what the Bible has to say about Tongues, what the benefits are, and whether or not it is something God commands us to do, as well as address some concerns that people have about whether or not tongues is still relevant in the life of a believer. The goal of th...

Half Pod! 📱 Are you tired of being bombarded? It’s time to UNSUBSCRIBE!

Let’s talk about Cancel Culture. My Friend Zach Pledger joins me in this episode to discuss the “write off” ideology that has seemed to infiltrate our generation, and what Bible has to say about such things. God is not quick to “cancel” us for our mistakes. In addition to that, We should not be afraid of being shut down by the world for refusing to shut up about the truth.

Half pod 👔 What is your “Sunday best”?

What is the right way to worship? What’s the right style? Ambient guitar? An organ? A choir? Jesus said that the day was coming when we would not worship God on this particular mountain, or that building, in this way or that way, but we would worship in Spirit and in Truth. Join my friend Micah Herbert and I on today’s episode of the No Kontempt podcast, as we discuss what it means to truly worshi...

Half pod 💭 It is not wrong to want influence. It is not wrong to want to grow and expand. But what is your motive and method? Jesus said, if you want to be great, you must become as the least of all.

Music: everybody enjoys it and identifies with it in some form or fashion. From old hymns on a B3 organ to distortion guitar bleeding out of the headphones of a 15 year old, everyone receives of the “ministry of music”. The question that arises is this: What is being ministered? Music reaches out and grabs hold of the human soul. It was created to move us. But what is it moving you toward? Click p...

Half Pod ⚡️The power of God is as real as electricity.

As a believer, It’s so important to stay charged up, abiding in the vine, maintaining an even flow. But there are sometimes that God sends us a current that is not business as usual—they’re called awakenings. Jesus wants to glorify His Church so that we are not only letting our little light 💡shine, but radiating with the power and presence of God.

Half Pod 🦾 How are we supposed to come to God?

Jesus said that it is not the whole that need a physician, but the sick. One of God’s names is Jehovah Rapha - The Lord my healer. He is the Great Physician.

Half pod 🍩 No matter what we face in life, we must never stop enjoying God 🍦

1 year anniversary podcast! Why is it that people always seem to try and put new wine into old wineskins? Why do we try to fit the new things that God wants to do into old ways of thinking, old ways of doing things? Why do we get so caught up in what I call “personal tradition”? God has new wine, new vision, but we have to throw out the old ways of thinking, the tradition, yesterday’s template. Th...

Half Pod 🪦 We don’t have to live in bondage to the spirit of death.

Happy Easter! 🐰 There is something on the inside of every born again believer that is greater than Thor’s thunder, or Superman’s strength. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in us —the power to overcome death, and to reclaim life. You don’t have to remain “in debt” to death.

Half pod 🐺 With God, there are no false alarms.

Last week, I talked about how God loves to surprise us. On this podcast, I want to visit the other side of that: When God DOESN’T want us to be taken off guard. Warnings are not always fun and sparkly, but they can be vital and life saving. Jesus told His disciples to “watch and pray” that they enter not into temptation. Today I want to talk about what it means to hear and to heed the warnings of...

Half Pod 🫔 Have you ever had a “what just happened” Kind of moment? Let’s talk for a minute about dealing with the unexpected.

Ephesians 3:20 tells us that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think according to His power that’s working in us. I like to say it like this: “God is a surprise party kind of God.” When you stay faithful in the little things, God lays up big things for you. Blessings, breakthroughs, and surprises! Get your party hats, because His rewards are right around the corner. 🥳

Half pod! Just wanted to add a couple of more thoughts to cover all the bases I can about this topic!

Prosperity is a very controversial topic in the church. People have gotten in the ditch on both ends of the road. There is always danger in extremes. In part 2 of this 2-part series, My guest and good friend, Elijah Murrel, and I want to provide some “clarity on prosperity”. This podcast is for two kinds of people: those FOR the “prosperity message” and those AGAINST it. In other words, it’s for e...
