Description
Congratulations! If you own a phone, then you're more informed than any other generation before you. You think your great great grandfather knew the name of every BTS member? Not a chance! Okay but really, we know a lot of "stuff" about "things"... But what good does all the info in our heads do us if the quality of our lives and those around us isn't better because of it? The Bible says that "every good & perfect gift comes from the Father of heavenly lights", and this podcast is a journey to find the "good" and "God" in every day life!

Sad day...
Split vision leads to frustration... I have a feeling that a lot of people now days are following at least 2 visions: The first is the vision of their local church Pastor, and second is the vision of the algorithm's Pastor of the week... Let's get into the nitty gritty (Nacho Libre Voice)
I've been using AI a lot lately. (I even signed up for the upgraded version). TBH It was become such a helpful tool! I also realize that I need rules, because if I just go full throttle using AI for everything I KNOW I'm gonna lose some very important and very hard earned skills. So I talk about the top 10 ways to NOT us AI, and a couple of ways I currently use AI.
*DONβT WATCH WHEN HUNGRY*Been a while since weβve done a food adventure, but the time has come! π
Making friends can be situational. Making good friends can only be intentional! Good, iron sharpens iron friendships take work and go both ways. I felt a burden to talk turkey on (in my humble opinion) one of the most important and overlooked skills in church: Making real friends in church.
"I suffer more", "I pray more", "I care more"... We may never actually let these words leave our lips, but that doesn't mean that they're not bouncing around in our minds. Today I'm addressing a heart issue, that I believe has been destroying relationships within the church and/or causing division and making us overall less productive in the kingdom...
I threw an NGL link on social media and I got a buffet of questions LOL... Some thirty, some deep, some intense!
In 2024 Sam graduated with her Masters, I turned 30 and we celebrated 6 years of marriage. We knew we wanted to do something special for this vacation, and we'd talked about going to Disney World for years. After some saving, planning and squeezing as many discounts out of the Costco Travel website that we could, we booked our trip and off we went!
Short and sweet food review - a little comfort watch
Happy Valentine's! Who is Valentine? No clue, sounds like a chill guy. Let's hang while I drop some relationship nuggets that hopefully don't get you in trouble with your Youth Pastor. Much love!
Well... You wouldn't expect this local mom and pop to be so divisive amongst the boys. But, somehow this is the episode with the strongest opinions! #fightforgoodfood #justiceforcaleb
***FULL AUDIO INTERVIEW*** We go super deep and personal in this conversation about preaching, ministry and trying to maintain a healthy relationship with God. I guarantee you if you listen through this whole episode, joined by Rev. Isaac Hernandez, you WILL be blessed! ***DISCLAIMER, I KNOW IN THE INTRO I SAID THIS EPISODE WAS 2 HOURS LOL OBVIOUSLY THAT'S INCORRECT***
Decades of an excellent preaching ministry has made Reverend Isaac Hernandez one of my top all time preachers. I love the way he connects with his congregation, and literally any audience I've seen him preach to. We know the obvious answers to the question "What makes a good preacher?", but I wanted to interview him to get into the deeper and more technical side of preaching...
*FULL AUDIO INTERVIEW* w/Jesus Prado of the Rugged Gospel. Me & The Rugged Gospel catch up on His new life in Albuquerque NM. He gives some pointers on moving away from your childhood state as well as tons of wisdom on living a Holy Life according to God's standards. With a dash of leadership/discipleship wisdom, this convo became a deep dive into the culture of the church at large.
Profanity in Christian circles has become more common. What even is profanity now days? Does it even matter? I had a great conversation with my good friend Jesus Prado (a.k.a The Rugged Gospel) about this topic! Hope it gives you insight and blesses you!

I react to the testimony of a Christian North Korean Defector (Shoutout to "Radical" who own all rights to the video I'm reacting to). When you hear such harrowing stories, sometimes we have questions. One thing I've learned is that God is not afraid of our questions... Another thing I've learned is that even when we get the truth it might not be that easy to hear.
We go a little off-script in this episode lol Welcome to our Connect Night Extravaganza... Complete with expensive steaks, a jumper and three small groups coming together to enjoy the community of Christ!
*FULL AUDIO INTERVIEW* w/my Dad. My Dad's a legend. At my age he was already married with a couple kids and Pastoring a Church. Seriously one of my fav episodes to date, it's always a treat to sit down and spend time with my Dad, now I get to bring you guys along! I get to the Nitty Gritty with him so you guys can get the full scoop on what it takes to pursue God through ups, downs and being gifted.
I've encountered my fair share of superficial people. Unfortunately some of them are Christians. Heck, maybe me and you have been fake at some point! It's not a good look. All my life my Dad has talked to us about "the gift of normal", and has lived it out too! In an era of clout-chasers and the rising popularity of just being over the top, I asked my dad to come on the pod and share his wisdom!
Aight look... Frank has been telling me about this place for literal YEARS. Finally decided to give his taco spot a try: Tacos Don Goyo in Brea. The usual antics with your fav foodie boys, taking a chance. Let's feast!
