  • Tweaking God: The Danger of Doing It Our Way EP. 240
    Jun 1 2025

    Tweak God: The Danger of Doing It Our Way. In this episode, I tackle a tough but essential question: Does the end justify the means? Using biblical accounts from Abraham and Sarah’s plan with Hagar to Moses striking the rock, the Tower of Babel, and the tragedy of Nadab and Abihu, we unpack the dangers of tweaking God’s commands for the sake of expedience, emotion, or modern relevance. It’s easy to rationalize disobedience when things “work out,” but does God see it that way? The answer is a sobering no.

    God isn’t impressed with our programs, personalities, or polished presentations, He wants obedience. And not just obedience when it's easy or convenient, but especially when our human logic says, “There’s got to be a better way.” In this episode, I urge listeners to resist the cultural tide that celebrates relevance over reverence. This is about more than tradition, it’s about holiness, trust, and a willingness to do God’s will, God’s way.

    Whether you’re wrestling with church trends, your role in ministry, or tough personal decisions, this message is a challenge to build a “book, chapter, and verse” foundation in every part of life. Because no matter how good the goal looks, if we abandon God’s path to get there, we’re just building our own Babel.

  • Does It Really Matter What You Believe? EP.239
    Jun 1 2025

    In this episode, I ask a piercing question: Does it really matter what you believe? It’s not about picking fights or stirring controversy for its own sake, it’s about grounding our lives in something more stable than feelings, tradition, or popular opinion. We often hear well-meaning ideas like “just be sincere,” or “all roads lead to heaven,” but Scripture points to a different standard; one that demands clarity, conviction, and a return to book, chapter, and verse.

    I take you through a series of biblical passages that reveal the dangers of drifting, the insufficiency of sincerity, and the false comfort of modern spiritual pluralism. I’m not the judge, Christ is, but I’m here to report what the Judge has already said. Whether we’re talking about morality, denominationalism, or what it means to truly follow Jesus, this episode calls us back to Scripture as the final word.

    If you’ve ever wondered why so many different “Christian” teachings contradict each other, or if you’ve felt pressure to “just get along” at the expense of truth, this is your invitation to reconsider. Because yes—it absolutely matters what you believe.

  • Trading the Hamster Wheel for a Rock-Solid Life EP.238
    May 25 2025

    In this episode, we dig deep into Hebrews 4:12 and the piercing power of God’s word. I reflect on the kind of peace that’s more than just poetic, it’s foundational, transformative, and steady even in life’s hardest storms. We explore the tension many feel: they want a better life, but see the Bible as too strict, too burdensome. But what if the true burden is running the hamster wheel of modern life with no deeper joy or direction?

    I’m not offering quick fixes or shallow encouragement here. Instead, I’m urging persistent progress, not perfection. From baby steps of self-discipline to meatier challenges of the heart, God’s word shapes us if we’ll let it. This episode walks through what it means to build a life on Scripture, not as a Sunday ritual, but as a 24/7 transformation. We tackle doubt, grief, purpose, and growth, through personal examples, Scripture, and some real talk about what Christian maturity actually looks like.

    If you’re tired of surface-level spirituality or looking for something deeper than routine religion, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about building not a shack of belief, but a mansion of faith.
