🎙️ Not Offended Podcast | Episode: Discipleship, A New Way

Welcome back to the Not Offended Podcast — where faith, culture, and controversy collide.

In today’s episode, the guys kick off with sports talk, diving into the Raiders’ rough week and Shohei Ohtani’s historic season before getting deep about AI, China, and the future of innovation. From there, they unpack the Forrest Frank and Jelly Roll controversy, discussing whether Christian artists should profit from worship and what true humility looks like in ministry.

The conversation shifts into the political and prophetic — touching on Christian protests, California’s Prop 50, Revelation, and the fivefold ministry — all while asking one key question: how do believers stay grounded in truth during cultural chaos?

This episode blends humor, conviction, and insight — a perfect mix of biblical perspective and real talk about what it means to live righteously in complex times.
