In today’s episode, I share my very first sermon – “All In: The Cure for Regret.” For years, I ran from God, always finding an excuse to choose my own way whenever He presented me with His. I told myself I could never be a proper Christian because of my past… but God had other plans. Not Only did I misunderstand what being a Christian was, I had no idea of how much God could use someone like me.

If something has been stirring in you recently, this message is for you. It’s about what happens when you stop holding back, go all in, and finally find freedom from regret.

In this episode, we continue our archaeology series by examining the evidence for the true location of Mount Sinai, including Elim’s springs and palms, the split rock at Horeb, boundary markers, the blackened peak, the golden calf site, and more. We also close with a brief look at the claimed evidence for Sodom and Gomorrah. Does the evidence support the Bible’s historical claims?

What if the sands of Egypt are whispering names we already know? In this episode - Part two of our Archaeology series, we revisit Joseph. Not just as a story, but as a figure who may have left fingerprints in stone. Then we move forward to the Exodus, where beaches, pillars, and a path beneath the sea raise unsettling questions. Legend… coincidence… or something far more deliberate?

Today we’re launching a brand-new series on Biblical Archaeology.

We will first unpack the realities of archaeology itself — what survives, what gets found, and why so much history remains buried. From there we unpack some amazing discoveries that turned myth into reality.

From Egypt to Israel, from once-dismissed civilizations to inscriptions that changed scholarly debates, this episode begins following the evidence where it leads. This is Part 1 of the Biblical Archaeology Series.

My daughter wrote and recorded this song, and I just had to share it. Our family has had a tough run these last six months, and my daughter really captured what leaning on the Lord feels like through these lyrics. Reach out and tell her what you think - It's called "Plans".

Why do people really reject God?

In this episode, we examine the most common reasons people give for staying away from Christianity — from cult accusations and fake spiritual experiences, to hypocrisy, intellectual comfort, and the appeal of “science” as a moral shield. But instead of settling for surface-level explanations, we dig into what’s actually driving those objections.

Is Christianity being rejected because it’s false — or because it’s uncomfortable?
Because the evidence isn’t there — or because accountability is?

This is not a sermon, and it’s not a debate. It’s an honest look at the excuses we build, the distortions that make rejection feel justified, and why many of the reasons people walk away aren’t as solid as they sound.

If you’ve ever been skeptical, burned by bad representatives, or quietly unsure about what you believe — this episode invites you to look past the caricatures and ask a deeper questions.

In this episode, we step into one of the oldest questions in philosophy and faith:
Is something good because God commands it, or does God command it because it is good? — the famous Euthyphro dilemma.

From there, we take a fresh look at the Old Testament laws that so many people misunderstand. Instead of seeing them as harsh or outdated, we explore how they functioned like moral training wheels — guiding humanity from spiritual infancy toward maturity. These laws weren’t about control; they were about shaping a people who could recognize, choose, and preserve what is truly good.

We then move into the New Testament, where Christ reveals the heart behind the law — showing us that goodness is not merely obeyed, but lived, written on our hearts by the Spirit of God.

This episode challenges the modern idea that morality is just personal preference or cultural opinion. Instead, it asks a deeper question:
What if goodness is real, objective, and rooted in the very nature of God Himself?

If you’ve ever wrestled with rules, grace, or why Christianity insists that truth and goodness matter, this conversation brings clarity, depth, and hope.
