12 FEB 2023 · First of three part, special and important Gospel Rant Valentine’s Day Series. This is for all of those lovers out there who want more, who aren’t feeling loved or lovable, or who have been hurt and feel like disappointments on this annual day for romance. There is really good news out there for you—no matter who you are, what you’ve done, or what’s been done to you. There is a way to begin to experience the love your mid-brain has been jonesing for. Podcast #1 is all about the brain in love. Fascinating stuff. Podcast #2 is a short overview of the ancient history of how people looked at love. Did you know that the ancient Romans were afraid of it. We have inherited much from them unfortunately. Podcast #3 is about God’s love. God’s love is agape. Right? Eros is, well, you know. But what if we have that all messed up. Don’t miss it. This. Is a game-changer.

5 FEB 2023 · 'Build your house on rock not sand', we are told. Building your house, your life, your identity and your faith on the principles that Jesus has been speaking about. Then you will be blessed when the storms come. So, don’t be angry. Don’t lust. Don’t get divorced. Don’t hoard money. Don’t pray to be noticed. Forgive like you want God to forgive you. Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. This is rock living? Or is it? I am going to try to convince you in this parable that just the opposite is true. That is sand dwelling. What does it look to build upon a rock. Check out the podcast.

29 GEN 2023 · These three verses have been used as hammers to leverage good behavior from Christians for millennia. But is that what Jesus is talking about? At the crux of the three verses is the key question, Who enters the kingdom? Answer: The one who does the will of God. Do you want to know what the will of God is? Check it out.

22 GEN 2023 · Who are the wolves? Who are the bad fruit? I wonder if we have gotten these confused. In the context of Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount, he is speaking about a specific heresy that still flourishes in the church today.

15 GEN 2023 · Have you been taught that all you need to do to be a good Christian is to do the golden rule? I bet you have been taught that. Well, how’s it going? Do you get a B- grade or a B+? How much is enough? What if I were to tell you that is not exactly what Jesus meant? There is a narrow gate that actually leads to an experience of the favor of God of you. The Golden Rule could just be in your way. Curious? Check it out.

8 GEN 2023 · Now Jesus has gone too far. Stop judging? I get the concept, but everyone judges. Everyone has been judged. It has ramped up since COVID, but it was happening long before that. Jesus, read the room. Those people on the hillside? All they have known is being judged. Are you telling them to lay their only weapons down? Our government may not be good at much, but they are sure good at judging. Me too. What is Jesus really saying about judging? You may be surprised.

1 GEN 2023 · So just stop being anxious! You are kidding me, right? Did Jesus just tell those hurting anxious people on the hillside to choose to stop being anxious? Is he suggesting that they just need to be reasonable? Wouldn’t that just make them more anxious and ashamed? How does it make you feel? Of course Jesus is not saying just stop being anxious. Good news for anxious people. There is hope. We’ve largely buried the headline. Check it out and get the word to other anxious Christians.

24 DIC 2022 · Did you know that no one had more verses about them in the Christmas story than the shamed priest Zechariah. And yet he is never part of the celebration. No Christmas Pageant gives him his due. So what is it about Zechariah that captured the attention of Matthew? What is the Gospel of the Shamed Priest?

20 DIC 2022 · Who gave the very first Christmas sermon? Shockingly, it was the shepherds. Humanly speaking, no one would have come to hear them. But they were the ones God picked. He still uses them today. Do you know someone who feels ashamed and rejected. They might really appreciate this podcast. The last of our Advent series will come out on Dec 24th, Christmas Eve, "Zeke, the Shamed Priest." Merry Christmas.

18 DIC 2022 · What is Jesus saying? I have a choice either to serve God or Mammon? Am I good? Have I done enough? All Christians spend great deal of time worrying about tithing. We pastors make it even worse by implying guilt through such passages as this one. Honestly, though, like most of the other verses I note Sermon on the Mount, to do so would be to buy the actual headline. If you wonder about God and what He thinks about money, and more to the point your money, you are not alone. You know someone who is struggling. They may be wealthy or poor. Please consider sending them the link to they podcast. They may just thank you.
