6 JUL 2022 · As a Christian,  I'd like to think that my life is fully devoted to Jesus and serving Him.  Doesn't mean I dont make mistakes and not sin, because I do.  What it means is that I am continually striving to get the crap out and insert Jesus in every aspect of my being.  The Lord has been after me when it comes to remaining humble, meek, forgiving, graceful, and dealing with lost people.  In this episode I get back to dealing with authority and learning to serve others as a potential leader.  I also briefly talk about the "End Times" term in the gospels "This Generation".  Stay rooted.

7 JUN 2022 · I gotta tell yall that the Lord has really been challenging me to look inward at my motives on situations.  Why do I do the things that I do?  What is the intent behind it all... or as the Word calls it "the heart".  The Father will always know my heart and see what is behind the rhyme or reason I act or react the way I do in life.  I pray that I always put Him first to honor and serve Him alone.  The world hated Jesus first, it will hate me, and if you live like Jesus - it will hate you.   I took a look at R.C. Sproul's video no. 4 with end times stuff that you can watch at the link below, and I must say that my mindset has completely changed on how I look at the "Olivet Discourse" and what Jesus said to his disciples directly.  This does not apply to Jesus' second coming and some sort of "tribulation" during the last days.  Jesus is not speaking to the 21st century people alive today; no, he is speaking to his disciples.  Stay Rooted! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb5B5pjacCM&list=PL30acyfm60fWm9jA8LNRnYizJj5VEduus&index=4

26 MAY 2022 · It was a blast going a bit deeper in the Word!  I had never heard the term "Olivet Discourse" or what it meant, but it is written in the first three gospels.  Its so important to take the scripture and read it in context to try and understand the true meaning of it.  In this episode I talk about the comparisons of the 'Olivet Discourse' between Matthew, Mark, and Luke while also pointing out some differences.  This is the most argued over topic among Christians, and I took the time to unpack a lot of it's meaning.  Do I believe that these gospels are in fact referencing the End of the World?  Take a listen and find out!  Stay Rooted!

13 MAY 2022 · This episode begins with some reactions to a statement I posted, "Sometimes the Lord calms the storm.  But sometimes He lets the storms rage to calm his child."  I feel like it really registered with me in my life right now, and other brothers commented on that as well.  I then go into part 2 of my study of 'End Time' theology with R.C. Sproul.  As mentioned in the first episode of this series... it't deep.  If you're interested in End Times talk, this episode is for you.  I go back into the early 19th century and uncover the origins of christianity.  How guys like Albert Schweitzer, and C.H. Dodd had impact on where we are today to a degree. The video of RC Sproul's teaching:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwOgsg6KJH8

5 MAY 2022 · Got some deep quality time with my Father.  He continues to work on my heart with certain things in my life. Also, I started to dive deep with End Times stuff, and I realize that I need to have solid knowledge of it.  We dont have all the answers, and things can be vague and hard to interpret, but it is required of us that we know as much as possible.  Im still learning about it and what I truly believe, and I begin a study of it in this episode.  Stay Rooted!

27 APR 2022 · Was able to get into the word a little bit this past week in Tacoma, WA.  The Lord is continuing to work on me and iron out some details in my life.  But a lot of times, He will simply remind me of things I've already learned, and this week was no different.  I was reminded that my sinful nature is at odds constantly with my Spirit nature, and I need to be continually prepared to heed to the Spirit nature utilizing wisdom and self control.  And no matter what.... I'm not allowed to just do what I please and live how I want to live.  I go a little deep in this episode.  Stay Rooted!

20 APR 2022 · Not a bad week fellas!  The Lord had to remind me about being peaceable and humble when it comes to those who are in authority over you.  There are going to be people in these positions that do not know Jesus, they are set in their own ways, and they may not have tact in how they critique you.  Regardless, we must show grace and love to them, even if we disagree greatly.  Also, we need to remember that we are not of this world, we dont belong here; we are strangers.  Knowing that, we have to remain Holy as He is holy by having self control and changing our thinking.  Stay rooted!

15 APR 2022 · Per the title of this episode, I'm definitely gaining momentum when it comes to being consistent with my quiet time.  Im so thankful that it's happening!!  The transition into the off-season was tough as you all know.  So, the goal is to have smooth transition this time around... and it starts now.  This week though, the Lord reminded me of the basic stuff:  1. I have His seal of approval (when I accepted Him), 2. He will never cast me out, and 3. If I remain in Him, He will remain in me.  I touch on these things over this episode. Stay Rooted!

5 APR 2022 · Spring Training is over, and now the season begins.  Home for one day, and I was reminded of how much my son Levi loves me.  He wanted ME to do everything with him, ME.  Sure I was gone for a while, but there was no doubt that my boy desired to be by my side.  The love I felt was overwhelming.  I imagine that our Father who sits on the throne feels something along these lines when we decide to be intimate with Him and seek him.  But one thing is for sure, He chose us FIRST.  Stay Rooted!

23 MAR 2022 · It has clearly been a long while (3 months) since I posted an episode.  There has been a lot of things going on and moving parts.  For now, I'm back to my job and on the road preparing for the upcoming baseball season.  Transition is not easy for anyone, especially when it happens frequently.  My walk with the Lord suffered over the past few months and it was not fun.  The void left in my heart and spirit of being selfish or just plain tired was one I could have prevented.  I'm thankful for how far my walk has come, but it has so far to go and grow!  In this episode I discuss these issues.  Stay Rooted!
