God Gives Evidence - John 5:30-47
April 18, 2024 10:00 - 39 minutes - 26.8 MBBelief without evidence is foolish and antithetical to the teachings of Jesus.

February 15, 2024 01:00 - 37 minutes - 26.1 MBWhat does it mean to be "Religious"? Being "Religious" has its stigmas and often it's associated with overbearing rules that prioritize legalism over love. Many believe that Love is the highest virtue to uphold.

Is Jesus Really God?
January 17, 2024 15:00 - 1 hour - 47.4 MBThroughout history, numerous individuals have professed to follow Jesus, but diverse perspectives on his identity have emerged. While some regard him as a mere prophet, others view him as a mere mortal, and some assert he is God incarnate.

Are Christmas Trees Pagan?
December 20, 2023 15:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MBChristmas is Pagan! Or at least that is what some argue. The idea of Christmas and Christmas Trees being a pagan holiday has been around for quite some time, and proponents of this view will often cite historical and biblical data to try and support their argument. However, when assessing these claims, we must vet the data they are giving to see if it's correct. When this is done the truth about Christmas and Christmas Trees becomes utterly clear.

Woman At The Well Pt.2 - John 4:15-19
December 06, 2023 22:00 - 18 minutes - 12.7 MBJesus encounters the Woman at the well who expresses a desire for "living water." However, a disconnect arises as she interprets this water in a literal sense, while Jesus offers something profoundly greater. He poses a question that not only reveals her personal shortcomings but also exposes the broader sins of her community. Let's delve into the profound significance of this question, often overshadowed, and explore the transformative impact it is poised to have on the woman and her commun...

Struggling To Believe - John 3:12-15
November 01, 2023 11:00 - 19 minutes - 13.6 MBWhat happens when you are faced with something that goes against what you believe to be true? Do you rationally examine the evidence, or do you instantly reject it because you already believe it's false? Our beliefs certainly can bring stability to our lives, but if we're not careful they can also stop us from accepting the reality that surrounds us. Jesus knows this reality and challenges us to examine our beliefs in search of the truth. To find more "Uncensored Christian" content inclu...
Proving Your Faith - John 3:9-11
October 18, 2023 11:00 - 40 minutes - 28.1 MBIs a subjective religious experience enough evidence to prove that your faith is justified? How does your subjective experience show your beliefs to be true to someone who has never had that experience? The foundation for our faith should be built on more than just subjective experiences, it should be based on evidence that can be seen by all who wish to see it. Jesus did not come commanding repentance and obedience with nothing to show for it, he performed many miracles to act as evidenc...
Being Born Again - John 3:1-8
October 11, 2023 10:00 - 39 minutes - 27.3 MBWe're told that in order to be saved we must be "born again". That sounds nice, but what exactly does that mean?

God's Inner Dwelling - John 2:18-25
October 04, 2023 07:00 - 33 minutes - 22.8 MBJesus calls himself the New Temple. This carries more than just a claim of superseding the old methods of atonement it implies a claim of divinity that no human could ever rightly make. Unfortunately, this claim is hidden on a surface-level reading of the text, so join me in this episode as we dive into the original language that Jesus used to describe himself as the New Temple.

Jesus Flips Tables - John 2:13-17
September 27, 2023 11:00 - 39 minutes - 26.9 MBJesus went into the temple and used a whip to drive out the animals and he flip the tables of those at work.

Water To Wine (The Empty Jars) - John 2:6-12
September 20, 2023 07:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MBThe first miracle of Jesus' ministry brings with it a theme of being unaware of Gods presence. Jesus is met with empty jars and a wedding that has ran out of wine for its guests, but there is more to be discovered than what we see upon a first reading of Jesus' actions.

Did Jesus Insult His Mother? - John 2:1-5
September 13, 2023 11:00 - 40 minutes - 27.8 MBWould you ever respond to your mother by calling her "woman"? Would you dare utter those words after she asks you for help?

Why Is Jesus The "Son of Man"? - John 1:43-51
September 06, 2023 13:00 - 34 minutes - 23.6 MBThe title that Jesus gives himself the most is "Son of Man" This may seem like a throwaway line on the surface, but it actually holds deep biblical and theological meaning. Jesus obviously thinks this title is important after all he refers to himself as "Son of Man" over 70 times throughout the gospels, with this in mind we would be foolish not to investigate the meaning behind this title that Jesus takes on.

Biblical Contradictions? - John 1:35-42
August 30, 2023 13:00 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MBMany skeptics claim that the Bible is filled with contradictions. If this claim is true then the inspiration of scripture is at stake since God's word would not be expected to contain lies or conflicting information. One such claim is often levied against the Gospel of John which we will examine in this episode.

Ancient Baptism - John 1:24-28
August 02, 2023 10:00 - 37 minutes - 26 MBWhat did baptism mean in ancient times and how does that play into the message of the Messiah?

Questioning The Prophet - John 1:19-23
July 26, 2023 07:00 - 41 minutes - 28.2 MBActing in accordance with his God-given mission to go before Messiah Jesus and proclaim the coming of the Lord, John the Baptist is met with an interrogation from religious leaders. Their line of questioning raises many interesting points regarding who the Jews were expecting to come and deliver Israel. John's answers ultimately point them to the desire that someone will fulfill their expectation and surely enough there is someone coming who will accomplish everything God promised his peop...
Fulfillment In Jesus - John 1:15-18
July 19, 2023 07:00 - 44 minutes - 30.8 MBThe incarnation means more than just God coming to earth as a man.

Word Became Flesh - John 1:9-14
July 12, 2023 12:00 - 49 minutes - 33.8 MBWhen the Word (logos) became flesh everything changed. The very nature in which God interacted with his creation changed forever.

Jesus in Genesis - John 1:1-8
July 05, 2023 07:00 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MBJohn starts his gospel like Genesis starts the Torah, "in the beginning". This is not done by mistake, the explicit connection to Genesis and creation is exactly what John intends when starting his gospel letter.

Prayer In Battle - Ephesians 6:18-24
June 21, 2023 04:00 - 26 minutes - 18.6 MBMany of us view the armor of God as solely a means of protection although we often forget that we are given a weapon as well. This weapon is intended to be used in spiritual battle against the principalities and powers in Ephesians 6. If we are to use this weapon effectively we first need to identify what it is and how we are instructed to wield it.

Armor of God, Pt. 2 - Ephesians 6:13-17
June 14, 2023 08:00 - 27 minutes - 18.7 MBThe portrait of the Armor of God goes much deeper than some clever metaphorical language.

Armor of God, Pt.1 - Ephesians 6:10-12
June 07, 2023 05:00 - 35 minutes - 24.4 MBWho is the armor of God for and why do we need it? These questions seem to have fairly apparent answers but I assure you they don't. Often times we conceptualize the armor of God separately from the context it's written in, when we do this we miss out on the richness of God's grace and the importance of working within a community of Jesus' followers.

Slaves And Masters - Ephesians 6:5-9
May 24, 2023 14:00 - 27 minutes - 19 MBGod gives instructions on how slaves were to act toward their masters and how masters were toward their slaves. For many modern readers, this makes us uncomfortable and leaves us confused. We assume that instructions are inferred endorsements but this couldn't be further from the truth. Join me as we dive into this challenging text and discover how Christianity is the moral code that led to slavery being seen as what it is, evil.

May 10, 2023 11:00 - 51 minutes - 35.2 MBIn the discussion of marriage roles, the conversation often focuses solely on the part of the wife and its perceived unfairness. However, biblically speaking that is not the case. God's duty to husbands within marriage is immense and for good reason.

Should Wives Submit? - Ephesians 5:22-24
May 03, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 47.5 MBThere is an everlasting debate in our culture about roles within marriage.

Spirit-Led Community - Ephesians 5:19-21
April 26, 2023 09:00 - 27 minutes - 18.8 MBAre we supposed to follow Jesus in our own individual way, or is there an expectation for a shared communal faith? In an individualistic culture, we assume that our faith is personal, but this is not how Scripture tells us to live.

Living A Wise Life - Ephesians 5:15-16
April 05, 2023 09:00 - 40 minutes - 27.6 MBWe all love the wise old master in our movies and stories. Something about wisdom attracts even the most cynical among us.

Exposing Darkness - Ephesians 5:11-14
March 29, 2023 09:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MBIf we are supposed to be a light to the world then it follows that our light must shine in the darkness. In order for that to take place we must expose the darkness for what it is. This requires truth and a willingness to stand firm on morality and proper judgment. The question we must ask ourselves is this, are you prepared to stand in the face of darkness and hold firm to the light of truth?

The Unpopular Truth - Ephesians 5:4-9
March 22, 2023 09:00 - 34 minutes - 23.8 MBJesus was unpopular because he called out sin. Jesus was unpopular because he said he was the only way to salvation. Jesus was unpopular because he spoke the truth. Many believers are afraid to speak the truth of the gospel because it will undoubtedly ruffle feathers, but why are we so afraid of the truth? Do we not believe that the truth will set you free? Certainly, it's easier to pander to lies but what are we sacrificing in the process? To find more "Uncensored Christian" content ...
Imitate God - Ephesians 5:1-3
March 15, 2023 14:00 - 36 minutes - 25.4 MBIf we acknowledge that we should be good people, then we acknowledge that there is a standard by which we judge what is good. If a standard of good exists then it must come from an objective source which we call God. With this truth in mind it only makes sense that we must imitate the source of what is good if we aspire to be good people. How do we do this? How can we properly imitate God?

Is Truth Relative? - Ephesians 4:25-27
February 22, 2023 11:00 - 28 minutes - 19.8 MBCan I have "my truth" while you have "your truth", or is there just "the truth"? Postmodernism has popularized the idea that truth is subjective and absolute truth does not exist. Because of this large swaths of cultures have committed themselves to the belief that truth is whatever the individual wants it to be. When truth becomes relative then reality becomes relative, when subjective reality becomes the truth we begin to live in a world built on lies. To find more "Uncensored Christ...
Slave To What? - Ephesians 4:20-24
February 15, 2023 13:00 - 30 minutes - 21.3 MBThe freedom we have in Christ is freedom with restrictions, I bet that sounds weird. It probably sounds weird because we have convinced ourselves that true freedom means we can do anything we desire, but that's not biblical freedom, so what is true freedom and what should we do with the freedom we have been given?

Sexual Impurity - Ephesians 4:17-19
February 08, 2023 12:00 - 38 minutes - 26.5 MBIt's common knowledge that scripture does not condone sexual immorality but is it common knowledge as to why? Why is Sexual purity essential and how do an individual's private actions affect the larger culture and society? These things rarely get discussed and unfortunately lead to a disdain for the purity prescribed in scripture.
