21 AUG 2021 · (Spoiler Warning!) Is there a deeper meaning to the Marvel productions of late? Are there seeds that are being planted into the minds of the viewers? Why is Marvel creating good villains, but insufficient heroes? We explore all of this. We look at why the main Marvel villains are wrong. The risk of a villain being motivated by a good cause but having an evil solution.

30 JUN 2021 · Many issues within the public discourse come from fundamentally different views of history. Can the gospel give us a fair and comprehensive view of history? In today's episode I explore the question of what does the gospel have to say about how we view and judge our own history? Plus, the Catholic church in the U.S. is talking about denying the communion to Catholic Democrats who support abortion! Where is this coming from, and what does this show about the Protestant church? Lastly, the folk country music singer Willi Carlisle blessed us with his song "Angels." Listen as I analyze why it is one of the most Christian songs of the last few years. Strap in for this marathon podcast. I want to hear your thoughts on all of this. Do you agree or disagree?

8 NOV 2020 · Day to day, we often try to forget about the evil and suffering around us in the world until one day it gets close to us and we assess our own beliefs. Assessing our own beliefs on this issue often involves asking where God is in all of this. In this talk I offer a way to think about how God can allow evil and suffering, but more importantly I highlight the strength of Christianity when faced with this issue, because it addresses the deepest desire of our souls when we experience it. Send in your questions about the talk and any general questions you have about Christianity! Thanks for listening and if you've enjoyed it then please share!

21 OCT 2020 · Today's society has distracted us from considering death, what may be beyond, and what our view of death means for our lives today. In this episode I urge listeners to consider what death means for them and what may come after.

I also talk about an interesting story about Trump's "scandalous" comments on evangelicals, or not so much. Finally, I pose a question to those who have worked in ministry for mentally handicapped people. 0:00 Intro 2:20 The reality of death 6:30 My generation considers death way less, why? 18:42 How does your worldview address eternity 24:45 Trump Mocks Evangelicals? 35:07 Why do evangelicals still support Trump then? 39:46 I ask you, what does ministry to mentally handicapped people look like? 43:10 Closing If you enjoyed please like, comment, and share!
