A podcast centering on conversational CHristian theology. Along the way, we may detour and visit myriad of topics from baseball to bass, pop culture to politics, movies to music, history to histrionics and just about everything in between from a conservative, yet somewhat unorthodox and dispensational Christian point of view. Your humble host is a former Religious Education teacher who chucked it all to become a lonely workman trying to rightly divide, compare things that differ, so as not to be ashamed. (2 Tim 2:15) There is only one theology that matters in the end, YOUR OWN.

22 MAR 2025 · We revisit the Democratic presidential candidates' policy positions from the 1984 campaign, compare that to McGovern's 1972 platform and modify previous statements about the Democrats and tariffs. Suffice to say it's a mixed bag.
Then we move to our seemingly never-ending parade of "real" Catholics telling me that popes can be wrong and we don't really need to listen to them on matters of faith or morals, we can made those distinctions ourselves. My response: Welcome to the Reformation!
Pope Francis has been great. He has been able to get the most conservative, hardcore, militant Catholics to suddenly adopt the position that Catholics are free to contradict the Pope. One odd argument, we don't have to listen to Urban VIII on salvation because "that was, like 800 years ago!" but somehow the current pope (who would presumably be the most accurate teacher of the faith using that reasoning) is the worst of the all? Hmm... #catholic #catholicism

19 MAR 2025 · We look over Ephesians 5 and Paul's warning that we walk in the Light of the new nature lest we risk losing the inheritance. We distinguish between the sealed free gift by grace alone of resurrection life, secured by the perfect, finished, and pure sacrifice of Christ on our behalf versus the inheritance of rewards, crowns, and the prize based on our walk and service as believers.
We start by stopping in on Paul's time before the Sanhedrin and the High Priest and note Paul's submission to the Law in that age. Never to either gain or maintain the free gift of salvation by grace, but in light of the promised Kingdom to be restored one day in Israel.

11 MAR 2025 · A study on the the necessity of walking in the light (in our new nature) for the believer of the current age. There are two inhertnaces for the Christian. One is secure and cannot be lost (the gift of resurrection life by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone) and the inheritance in the age to come which can be forfeited (loss off rewards, crowns, and the prize) if we choose to walk in the flesh.
Acting in the flesh is to act selfishly and can take on many forms. But for the believer, any gratification of self is short-lived and will end in sorrow and loss (either now or in the age to come).

8 MAR 2025 · We chat about denominational systems and the pastor/priest system seriously clouds our responsibility as individual believers to "study to show [ourselves] approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of Truth" (2 Tim 2:15). The system also creates an enormous entryway for error and heresy and even a denial of the foundational truths of the faith (including a denial of the finished work of Christ). Surrendering our individual responsibility before God has destroyed many believers and has destroyed the truths of the revelation of our Apostle for this age, Paul.

16 FEB 2025 · "A booklet by Charles Hummel that explores the problem of living in a world of constant urgency and distraction. Learn how to prioritize the important tasks and avoid the tyranny of the urgent."
-C.S. Lewis Institute
We ponder the implications of the "urgent" things in our lives that rob us of peace. We examine, in brief, the booklet cited and I offer my opinion as to its conclusions and directions (the good and the questionable). We briefly comment on the activities of the new administration and remind all of us to question ANYBODY with power. No blank checks here and neither do we approve of blanket condemnations.
Exposing waste and exposing corruption must be seen as a good thing if the information is proven to be accurate. We need to judge each action on its own. In the end, we're all on the same team despite the powers that be wanting us to choose sides.

30 GEN 2025 · I used to have a list of doctrinal beliefs that I thought were biblical... then I started to compare scripture with scripture and interpretation with what I saw around me. So, I set out to compare what I said I believed and applied to all the Bible and to my own life. For example, if you think the red letters are for you, have you sold all you have? If you think you attend an "Acts Church," do you live communally? Do you separate Jewish believers from Gentile believers? This is called "comparing the things that differ" and studying to see why they differ. Finally, if we do discover discrepancies between what you say you believe and what you experience, we must be willing to change our interpretations. #theology #christian #christianity

13 GEN 2025 · You've got a sick child in the hospital, you're about to have your house foreclosed, your son just got drafted for World War III... you are going to be anxious. So, when Paul teaches us to be anxious for nothing (Phil 4:6) does he mean we're never to be worried or concerned? Absolutely not! Even our Lord expressed hos concerns to the Father in the Garden. But our Lord showed us the way. He put us ahead of his own interests and put his faith in the Father's plan for him. We show concern for others, but we need to learn to show less and less concern for ourselves. Contentment is our calling. After all, our blessings are indescribable and await us in the far above the heavens.
Along the way we comment briefly on Pope Francis' appointment of a new Cardinal in Washington DC. Catholics Against Catholicism are hopping mad!

31 DIC 2024 · We briefly review the bad Christmas takes from both the pro-Christmas and anti-Christmas Evangelical world, we wander momentarily back into Catholics attacking Catholicism, we breeze by the Church Fathers on social media, and finish with Jimmy Carter lovers embracing Reaganomics to stick it to conservatives somehow. But it all makes sense if you would just ignore the obvious and embrace the nuance!

16 DIC 2024 · I revisit the Ukraine-Russia war with some thoughts. We also ponder the sudden shift of Leftists and other Democrats to the side of opposing tariffs. Welcome to free trade, supply-side economics! We also visit Leftist hero Cesar Chavez's favorite subject: beating up illegal immigrants. Unions have historically loved tariffs (protectionism) and hates mass immigration (increased competition in the labor markets). Next thing you know Democrats will be opposing the minimum wage! Nah... but we can hope!
Christmas is for Israel:

14 DIC 2024 · I talk a little about my music projects and then move on the significance (or lack of significance) to the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Once again we have to remind people of their stated beliefs (on all sides). #theology
