This was a tough topic to tackle. Join James as he dives into how we get "lost in the cracks", how we lose friends, how large church's can lose focus, and how they relate. I hope this episode speaks life and hope to you.

Wow. What dark times we're having. Another shooting, a stabbing, parenting among bullies, and more trans athletes stealing women's titles. How are we to remain sane? How are we to react? Join me as I take an honest inventory of how we as Christians are to respond to all the hate in this world. Do we choose hate in response, or is there another option?

Join me in this honest comparison to spiritual disciplines and the struggle to keep it up. We can't do the routine for routine sake. But why do it at all? Do we desperately need Jesus the way we once did? How do we get back there? It's not a one solve fix all problem. Let's find our desperate places and choose Him over our vices and lesser gods. Give grace to yourself when you miss the mark, because you will ...time and time again. If you let that derail you, you'll fall further away from His sweet presence, trusting in yourself more, and beaten down by life's cycle of pile up. Let's wrestle with our desperation together.

Boy, what a hard topic. Join me, James, as I dive into different denominations, what divides us, and what unites us. I attempt to give you very practical things to look for in searching for a home Church, including specific beliefs, doctrine, worship, location, and authenticity. It's not easy, and as usual I take a bit of a rabbit trail to get there. But I pray this will help you find your people!

This life is hard. And as men especially, we define ourselves by what we do. We see it all the time, when high status gets lost, the people seem lost with it. If you have ever felt this way, I have to. Hopefully this episode reminds you of your value in work and without it. Let's wrestle through this tough topic together. Join me.

Join James as he dives into muddy waters of leaving a Church, when to pull the plug, what to look for, and what can be sacrificed. He's going through this himself with his own family and shares a raw processing of what he's going through. Finding true authentic community is perhaps the greatest issue we face as Christians... next to intimacy with other men.

Join James as he dives into the implications of the Garden and the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Do we realize how naked we really are as time goes on? Does this cause more retroactive shame? Or worse, future fear? Does it make you a hermit? How do we recover from the realization that it is still not good to be alone?

After a bizarre encounter with a legalistic Christian influencer on X, James was compelled to speak on the damaging nature of this ever prevailing Chrisitian on Christian violence. Should a Proverbs 31 woman stay home and homeschool the kids? Should we even be scolding others on topics like this? Let's get into it.
