This episode is a little more personal and anecdotal than most. First, I spend some time going over Canada's tyrannical bill, C-4, and why we should care. Then I go into 3 hard lessons I had to learn by experience in my first "non-wrestling" leadership position.   Music: Ty Joseph Godfrey https://passingpines.bandcamp.com/ References: Proverbs 17:10 Proverbs 25:12 Bill C-4: https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/44-1/bill/C-4/first-reading ..read more

A lot of men today don't even know how to take dominion over themselves, let alone the whole earth. But God calls us to have dominion on this earth. In this episode I break down what that means and what it looks like in real life.

For the past year and a half plus, the world has been plagued with a spirit of fear surrounding Covid that has reached demonic levels. Prior to Covid, people understood that sickness and death were a regular part of life. But now, no one is allowed to get sick or, God forbid, Die! This fear is a spiritual infection that must be confronted head on. That is what I attempt to do in this episode.  Music: Ty Joseph Godfrey https://passingpines.bandcamp.com/ References: Matthew 6:25-34 Psalm 139:16 Isaiah 46:9-10 1689 London Baptist Confession 3:1 ..read more

We've all been there before. When you are so mad at someone you just want to blast double them across the room and then spladle them so hard their legs rip of... Ok, maybe that's just me.... Either way, we all know what it's like to become angry. It is a normal part of the human experience, but as Christians, we are called to avoid sin when we become angry and maintain self-control. That's what this episode is about.  Music: Ty Joseph Godfrey https://passingpines.bandcamp.com/ References: Luke 6:43-45 Ephesians 4:31-32 Ephesians 4:26-27 Genesis 4:3-8 James 1:19-21 Proverbs 14:29 Prov ..read more

What does it mean to take up your cross and follow Jesus? I think there are a lot of Christians who truly do not understand what this means. In this episode, I break down 3 main aspects of "taking up your cross" and I also go through some things that keep us from doing it.  Music: Ty Joseph Godfrey https://passingpines.bandcamp.com/ References: Revelation 3:14-16 Matthew 13:44-46 Luke 22:42 Matthew 4:18-22 1 Corinthians 15:33-34 Luke 14:26-28 Matthew 19:29 Genesis 3:8 Hebrews 12:1-4   ..read more

Over the past year and a half I have heard a lot of rhetoric about how conservatives need to "stop being so obsessed with freedom". It's about safety after all! But are the conservatives (specifically Christian conservatives) really the ones obsessed with their freedom? I make the case that it's actually the left that is obsessed with their freedom. But it's all driven by fear.  Music: Ty Joseph Godfrey https://passingpines.bandcamp.com/ References: 1 John 2:15 1 John 2:16-17 Romans 8:18 Matthew 19:29 Mark 12:30-31   ..read more

If you are anything like me, the word "pragmatism" may not be familiar to you or you might not think it is significant. That was me up until very recently. In this episode, I talk about what pragmatism is, how it manifests itself, and why it should be avoided.  Music: Ty Joseph Godfrey https://passingpines.bandcamp.com/ References: Matthew 16:26 Proverbs 22:15 1 Corinthians 9:14-15, 22-23 James 4:4 Romans 12:2 1 John 2:15 Colossians 2:8 John 17:14-16 1 Corinthians 1:25, 3:19     ..read more

In this episode, I go into a little bit of a rant about forced "vaccinations" in the current events section. Then I get into the adequacy of the Bible. A lot of Christians say they believe in the sufficiency of scripture, but they often don't act like it in real life. I make the case that we should apply God's word to EVERY area of life.  Music: Ty Joseph Godfrey https://passingpines.bandcamp.com/ References: Matthew 28:18-19 2 Timothy 3:16-17 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21 James 2:1-4 Ephesians 2:13-16     ..read more

Our culture has a lot of backwards ways of viewing work. Whether that's being as lazy as we can be without getting fired, or being a workaholic who never sees his family. But, how should the Christian view work? Fortunately, God's word has a lot to say about this topic and I am going to break that down in this episode.  Music: Ty Joseph Godfrey https://passingpines.bandcamp.com/ References: Genesis 2:15 Exodus 20:8-11 Ecclesiastes 9:10 Colossians 3:23-24 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12 Proverbs 22:13 Romans 12:1 1 Corinthians 10:31 ..read more

Most Christians know it is important to defend their faith, but when the time comes to actually do it, many of us feel lost. We don't have a good grasp on what we believe or why we believe it. And what we do know, we don't know how to communicate clearly and effectively... so we fall apart. In this episode, after I explain the importance of defending your faith, I am going to give you some basic principles to take into any conversation with an unbeliever.  Music: Ty Joseph Godfrey https://passingpines.bandcamp.com/ References: 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 1 Peter 3:15 Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans ..read more
