I Pledge Allegiance To... Myself

What are we truly living for? Is our desire to truly pursue the purpose God has for us, or is our goal to pursue our own success and desire to be remembered? 
While we don't ever claim to have the answers, some things are hard to ignore. Comfort, Convenience, and Control have slowly become king and the Great Commission has become the Casualty. On this episode we discuss misplaced allegiances and the problems that presents with following Jesus.

A Few Steps Further

Big epiphanies? Earth-shattering realizations? Spiritual mountaintops? Nah, not really, just a couple of dudes talking about some things they've learned, some things they're still struggling with, and the inescapable goodness of God.

The Wind Blows Where It Wishes

Most of us have had moments where we feel God’s leading, but it often looks different for each of us. Some argue that they can hear God audibly while others maybe feel a gentle nudge from the spirit. Is it possible some are so in tune with God that they hear his leading easily while others need to be grabbed by the shoulders and shouted at?
On this episode we talk through many difficult questions. Does God still speak to us? Have certain gifts ceased? Just because God can do something, does it mean He will? While we don’t necessarily arrive at the answer, we definitely have some great food for thought and ultimately end up in what we think is a pretty good place to land.

What Were We Thinking?

Two dudes reflect on a year of life and podcasting. Did we learn anything? And if so, do we remember it?

Blessed Are The Merciless

Mercy. It shouldn't be so difficult. Especially when we have experienced the Mercy of God. But as we have explored in other conversations... it just isn't always that simple.
In this episode we continue discussing the Beatitudes. We specifically dive into Matthew 5:7, "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy." It's pretty clearly stated, yet we still fill that we are more likely to benefit from being merciless. Go figure.

Blessed Are The Fast Food Christians

According to Jesus, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed. But have we allowed ourselves to be satisfied with less than the feast served on God's table?
In this episode, we talk about what it means to hunger and thirst for the things of God, what it most certainly does not mean, and how we can be satisfied and complete in the ways God intended.

Sex, Drugs, and Christian Music

We get it… sex sells and you can definitely say things a certain way to get people listening. BUT, does that mean it is the right, or even wise, thing to do?
In this episode we discuss a recent article we came across from Kevin McNeese of New Release Today. The article, titled “What The Bleep Is Happening To Christian Music?,” addresses many interesting changes in “Christian” music as of late. We discuss these and how it relates to art by people of faith in general. As always, these conversations carry some tension. While we can see both sides of the issue, we attempt to get to the most important perspective… the way God sees it.

Selah For Dummies

What does it mean to listen to the voice of God in a world full of noise? How can we know what we're supposed to be doing if we're not hearing the One who's leading us?
In this episode we talk about the fact that Sabbath is less about a day of the week and more about living life in rhythm with God.

Blessed Are The Powerful, For They Take What They Want

When one hears "Blessed are the Meek," they likely have something come to mind. But what does it really mean? Have we made it something it's not? 
In this episode we continue discussing the Casualty of The Beatitudes. This time we explore how our culture has decided that the powerful are more worthy of a blessing than the meek.

Blessed Are Those Who Suck It Up

"Don't let it get to you." "Man, just let it roll right off you." "Stay positive!" All good advice, right? Problem is, we all reach a point at which we have to own our pain, or it will consume and define us.
In this episode, we talk honestly about our emotions, the language of lamentation, the closeness of God in our suffering, and what it means to mourn.
