Baptized & Clueless

How does one become a Pastor? If seminaries were the only way, how would we see God’s unique fingerprint on those He calls to pastor?

In this episode, we have the privilege of speaking to our brother in Christ, Pastor Bruno Bourdon! His early upbringing took a turn after a tumultuous event that the enemy meant for his end. However, God played the UNO reverse card for all believers in Christ, as He always does. A life in and out of correctional institutions to the pulpit. He has pointed many to Jesus through his walk with God on both sides of the bars. God has used him exceptionally to be an example of second chances and God’s grace for us all.

What the enemy meant for harm, God turned for His good. “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” — Genesis 50:20 (NIV)

Join us for this powerful testimony of God leaving the 99 for the 1.

The internet and the church have merged—and the reach of the church has never been greater. Through cables, copper wires, screens, and satellites, a message can now travel around the globe in seconds. But with great reach comes great responsibility. Apparently, a growing number of Christian Comment Warriors didn’t get that memo.

In a world where opinions become sermons, gossip becomes content, and the comment section becomes a pulpit, Christians seem to be forgetting the basics: grace, not judging others, humility, and—without saying—loving your neighbor. Scripture reminds us that “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21). That should give us pause before we rush to type, post, share, or comment. Let’s not be too quick with our words, lest we become hypocrites ourselves. Before we use our platform to correct someone else, perhaps we should consider what our own words are producing. Because when the comment section becomes the platform, what are we preaching?

We all know the Sunday school classics: Daniel in the lions' den, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace. But if we only view these as survival stories, we’re missing the grand finale.

In this episode, we’re diving into the courts of ancient Babylon to look at the powerful connection between these four lifelong friends. Decades before Daniel faced the lions under King Darius, God put His absolute sovereignty on display by walking through the fire with his three best friends under King Nebuchadnezzar. What did these men have in common? An unshakeable, identical theology. They had complete faith that whatever God willed was the best possible outcome. They famously declared that God could save them—but even if He didn't, they still wouldn't bow. And because of that radical, "even-if" faith, God didn't just save their lives—He flipped entire empires upside down. After witnessing their rescue, the pagan kings issued royal decrees ordering everyone in their kingdoms to tremble before and worship the God of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

Tune in as we break down how God uses individual obedience to alter the spiritual direction of an entire society, and how He wants to use your faith to bring nations to Him today.

In Part 2 of Millicent's powerful testimony, she continues sharing her journey of faith, obedience, and purpose. She opens up about a season when God had to close a door in her life—something that may have initially felt like disappointment or uncertainty but ultimately became the very thing that positioned her to walk through another door He had already prepared for her. Through this new opportunity, she stepped into greater leadership, responsibility, and influence not only for her own growth, but for the women who would come behind her.

Her story highlights how God can use closed doors to redirect us toward opportunities that are bigger than we imagined and connected to a greater purpose. This episode is a reminder that sometimes what feels like an ending is actually God's way of making room for a new beginning and that our obedience and courage can create pathways for the next generation, especially for Black women who will follow in her footsteps.

Have you ever noticed how fast technology moves? We can get an answer, a meal, or a ride in seconds. But what happens when we bring that same "instant demand" energy into our relationship with God?

In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about the pros and spiritual cons of using AI in our faith walks. While artificial intelligence can be an incredible tool for research or sorting through data, it presents a major spiritual trap: the ease of relying on a quick, calculated answer instead of sitting back and waiting on God’s timing. The truth is, AI speeds us up where God wants us to slow down. Tune in as we break down how to use modern tools without bypassing the ancient, necessary process of prayer, patience, and true discernment. If you’ve been feeling rushed by the world or find yourself turning to Google and ChatGPT before you turn to God, this episode is exactly what you need to recalibrate your digital life with Divine direction.

In Part 2 of Hyacinth Bell’s powerful testimony, she takes us deeper into a season of physical challenges, unexpected injuries, hospitalization, and moments when the circumstances seemed impossible. Yet through every setback, Hyacinth experienced God’s presence, strength, and faithfulness. What doctors said couldn’t happen, God made possible. Despite being told she could not give birth at her age, Hyacinth’s journey ultimately became another testimony of God’s ability to do what seems impossible. From helping her overcome serious injuries to carrying her through the hospital and giving her the strength to keep believing, God continued to make a way when there appeared to be none.

Her story is a powerful reminder that a medical report does not have the final word when God has spoken. Sometimes faith means holding on when the circumstances say otherwise, trusting God through the process, and believing that He is still working even when the outcome seems impossible. Join us for Part 2 of Hyacinth’s inspiring testimony—a conversation about faith, healing, perseverance, motherhood, and trusting God when the odds are against you.

In this episode, we take an honest look at covetousness—the desire for what someone else has and the jealousy or envy that can come with it. We discuss how easily we can become focused on material possessions, other people’s lifestyles, relationships, opportunities, or accomplishments, allowing comparison to steal our peace and contentment. The conversation also explores how covetousness can cause us to overlook the blessings already in our own lives. Instead of appreciating what we have, we can become so focused on what we want or what we see others enjoying that we fail to recognize how much we’ve already been given.

Ultimately, this episode is a reminder to shift our focus from comparison to gratitude, from wanting what others have to appreciating our own blessings, and from dissatisfaction to contentment. When we learn to be grateful for what we have, we can experience greater peace and stop allowing jealousy and envy to control our hearts.

What if the seeds of your purpose were planted long before you could see the harvest?

Have you ever stopped to think about how we sound to God?

In this episode, we explore the funny—and convicting—reality that sometimes, when God asks us to spend time with Him, obey Him, or do something He’s calling us to do, we can sound like little kids. We complain, whine, make excuses, negotiate, and come up with every reason why we’re too busy, too tired, or simply not ready. Yet God continues to invite us closer. Just like a loving parent who patiently listens to a child’s complaints while still knowing what’s best for them, God hears our excuses but doesn’t stop calling us. He desires our time, our attention, and our obedience—not because He needs something from us, but because He knows what is best for us.

This episode challenges us to recognize the ways we may be resisting God and hiding behind excuses. What if instead of saying, “But I’m too busy,” “I don’t feel like it,” or “I’ll do it later,” we simply said, “Yes, Lord”? Sometimes growing in our relationship with God means growing up in our faith—learning to stop making excuses and start trusting that when God asks something of us, there is a purpose behind it. The question is: If you could hear yourself the way God hears you, what would you sound like?
