Exploring Christianity at the cutting edge

Dec 26, 2020

I discuss: how constructive criticism can literally get us back into our right mind (of Love), why we all hate to be criticized and why that hate is bad, 13 biases all people have, a new operating system that can free us from our 13 biased brain, and I finish with great quotes from some great people regarding the value of criticism. 

Dec 19, 2020

Everyone is prejudiced. In fact, science now shows us we all have 13 built-in biases. Social media skillfully uses our built-in biases to control us, and we don't even know it is happening. Also, the genius of the U.S. Constitution.

Dec 12, 2020

How I got through 8 days of Hell. When Adversity starts talking, don't passively listen to it. Learn to fight it, and yes, to win victory over it. Learn how to make Adversity pay, and you'll begin seeing the blessing inherent in all Adversity.

Dec 5, 2020

Jesus seems to command us to be afraid of God in Luke 12:5. What point was Jesus making here? 

Nov 21, 2020

I talk about the only things God even cares about, and it is not how you stack up against other people. I discuss: religious hypocrisy, a surefire way to tell if a supposedly religious person knows God very well, and what really does impress God.

Nov 14, 2020

I suck at keeping religious rules. How about you? I've got news for you, God is more tired of religious rules than you are. "Christian" Bible studies, hypocrites, modern day Pharisees, and how horrible Christianity is when not filled with the Spirit of Christ are all discussed.

Nov 7, 2020

Jesus says if you don't champion the poor and help them, you might not make the cut. I discuss: how helping the poor makes you "clean" before God, modern Pharisees and Scribes, when tithing is missing the point, and how failing to help the poor is failing to love God.

Oct 31, 2020

I discuss: what the Kingdom of God really is, exorcisms, why the majority thinks the devil is more powerful than God, testing God, what it looks like when you Consciously live in the Kingdom of God, righteousness, peace of mind, joy, who the "strong man" is, and how to overcome all adversity.

Oct 24, 2020

How does someone start out good and end so bad? I'll use the example of Mao Zedong who grew into a person who would not tolerate any other human being who didn't think 100% like he did. Where did this attitude come from? I'll hazard a few educated guesses. 

Oct 17, 2020

It's astounding how evil some people's behavior is. You can write this off to ignorance and superstition, but demonic activity is involved. Listen as I talk about the life of Mao Zedong. He started out trying to do good, and he ended committing the greatest atrocity in human history, the "Great Leap Forward." I also discuss the Cultural Revolution and the sheer terror it unleashed on the people of China.

Oct 10, 2020

Demons don't give people cancer physically, but they can tempt us to adopt attitudes which will make it much more likely we will develop cancer in our life. Also, Eddie Van Halen's legacy as a creative guitarist and problem solver.

Oct 8, 2020

The problem is, nothing satisfies us for long. Listen as I discuss the disease of "More"-itis, what both Christ and Buddha had to say about this, and then as I discuss the satisfaction that never ends. American culture, politics, Thomas Merton, Nirvana, Heaven, Zen Buddhism compared to Christ's teaching, and the empty place inside all of us are all discussed.

Oct 3, 2020

We all pray for a lot of different things, but no matter what you pray for, Jesus the Christ says there is one answer to prayer that will solve any situation you can ever get yourself into. 

Sep 26, 2020

Hardly anyone prays the way Jesus teaches us. No, God is not thin skinned. There is Power in Persistence. And Yes, God is asking us to bother Him.

Sep 19, 2020

Believe in a harsh, unforgiving, wrathful, violent, and stern God? Then you believe in a God who doesn't exist.

Sep 12, 2020

The words of Jesus Christ have never been more true than right now. They can heal our nation. We must either listen to him, or we will destroy ourselves.

Sep 5, 2020

First a shocking quote uttered by Jesus the Christ along with two historical examples that back up what Jesus said to some religious fat cats of his day. I discuss imperial China, the Europeans vs. China opium wars, drug dealing as the policy of a so-called "Christian" nation (Britain), and the one thing that leads to salvation that many religious people don't know. Let's dive in!

Jun 6, 2020

I start with Jesus' two verse long summary of what life is meant to be, which was given to a crowd of religious people who wanted to kill him.  I end with the warning signs of an unhealthy, disfunctional church. If you've had an uneasiness about your current church, listen as I discuss what happens to a Christian church when religious people control it.

May 30, 2020

Religion always works from a script. But God is the original Free Spirit who is not constrained by religion's scripts. No surprise that God's Son is a Free Spirit who regularly went off religion's scripts. Listen as I discuss two people who lead to Jesus going off religion's script. The first was a so-called immoral woman, the second a hopeless invalid, who meet Morality and Hope incarnated. 

May 23, 2020

Jesus disregards silly religious rules.  He constantly violates other people's religious rules, and He clearly has no regard for these rules. Jesus talks to the poster child for organized religion in  Judea, and Jesus is not impressed with him.  Listen as I discuss the type of "religion" God has in mind for the human race. 

May 16, 2020

This is the ultimate cage fight: God vs. An Extremely Religious Person. Guess who wins? Nicodemus knew a lot, but he doesn't know God very well, and he completely missed what God was working to do in his country.

May 9, 2020

Jesus, God incarnate, "cleansed the temple," as some call it.  But I call it a premeditated physical attack on bad organized religion. Resisting evil, God's heart, bad religion 2,000 years ago, bad religion today, religious cults, and religious bigotry are all discussed.

May 2, 2020

The bigger question is whether God sent the Black Plague in the Middle Ages, which killed 1/3 of Europe. Listen as I answer one of the biggest questions on Planet Earth right now.

Apr 25, 2020

Getting better at discerning the still small voice of the Spirit is the whole point of life. Listen as I discuss how to get to know the Spirit better than you do now. This just might save your life some day.

Apr 18, 2020

For 2,000 years the Christian Church has made little effort to teach the Holy Spirit. And this sparse teaching has been remarkably ineffective considering the person being taught. Listen as I discuss why the Holy Spirit can't really be taught, the Spirit must be caught.
