The Problem With Thanksgiving Sermons

A hard-hitting look at the entire Thanksgiving-sermon industry. We expose the clichés, the moralism, the hermeneutical failures, and the theological problems behind the seasonal flood of "be thankful" messages—and then end with a powerful, Gospel-centered, reality-facing vision of true biblical thanksgiving.

AI Sermon Experiment

A completely unplanned live experiment. I open the SermonAudio app, pick something at random, and work with AI in real time to build a sermon, Bible study, or theological lesson from scratch — then teach it live. No prep, no notes, just a raw demonstration of what AI can do instantly.

The Self We Think We are

The Self We Think We Are" looks at Peter's bold claim and Jesus' sobering correction in John 13:37–38. This episode confronts our spiritual self-deception, the church culture that encourages it, and the Gospel reality that Christ knows us better than we know ourselves—and loves us anyway.

This was excellent! Can you do a follow up? I feel you had a lot more to say!

My advice? This guy needs to go ahead and get some responsible teaching from somewhere to help understand that line of thinking. To post content like this highlights that he clearly doesn't understand the subject matter he's raised in this episode so would have been better to study up on it before making an episode on it shows up as incoherent rambling. He's clearly confused and this episode is passing on that confusion to others. 😁 This not a dig; there's an opportunity to learn here for him.

For too long has the church been trying to TELL the world who Jesus Christ is instead of SHOWING its belief through its actions! Actions speak louder than words, people! ✝️
