Big Brutha Podcast

I questioned Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell, and people told me I needed to repent. Some even called my concerns demonic. But since when did questioning a preacher become questioning God?In this solo episode of the **Big Brutha Podcast**, Big Brutha Will responds to the controversy surrounding his comments about Philip Anthony Mitchell and asks a much bigger question: **Have we become so loyal to religious leaders that we've stopped exercising biblical discernment?**After discussing Mitchell's public messaging, the 80,000-person prayer gathering in Texas, and the reactions to his original comments, Will examines the difference between respecting spiritual authority and blindly following a religious personality.This conversation also builds on our previous message, *The Carnegie Effect: When Christianity Becomes a Tool for Power*, inspired by *The Book of Eli*.That episode examined how people can use Christianity and religious influence to gain power. This time, we're examining the other side: **the responsibility of the people who give religious leaders that power.**We also discuss the Million Man March, religious double standards, Christianity and political identity, spiritual warfare rhetoric, and how fear can influence the way believers think.Most importantly, we turn to Scripture.📖 **Scriptures discussed:**1 Thessalonians 5:21 — Test all things.Acts 17:11 — The Bereans examined Paul's teachings.Galatians 2:11–14 — Paul confronted Peter.Exodus 32 — The golden calf and the danger of following the crowd.This isn't an attack on Philip Anthony Mitchell, and it isn't a rejection of the power of prayer or spiritual leadership.It's a challenge to every believer—including us—to examine what we're being taught rather than blindly defending the person teaching it.**You can respect the messenger without surrendering your discernment.**🎙️ **BIG BRUTHA PODCAST | REAL TALK.

What if addiction is more than a physical battle? What if there's a spiritual side we don't talk about enough?In this powerful episode of the **Big Brutha Podcast**, Big Brutha Will sits down with Cedric, a man who has overcome drug addiction, experienced the realities of drug dealing, and now dedicates his life to helping others through recovery.Cedric opens up about his journey through addiction, depression, losing both parents within six months, near-death experiences, and the spiritual encounters he believes he experienced during some of his darkest moments.We get into a deep conversation about addiction recovery, money, fear, paranoia, spiritual warfare, and the influences that shape our thoughts and decisions.Big Brutha Will also shares his own experiences with hustling, the pursuit of money, and the fear that came with carrying a gun while selling drugs. Together, we explore how certain lifestyles, habits, and environments can become connected in ways we don't always recognize.But this conversation is about **MORE THAN ADDICTION**.It's about redemption, overcoming addiction, finding purpose, and understanding that your life still has meaning no matter how far you've fallen.One of the most powerful moments comes when Cedric shares:**"I quit drugs in my mind way before I was able to physically get off of them."**After battling addiction, spending months in depression, and experiencing a life-threatening hospitalization, Cedric found a new reason to live. Today, he works in the recovery field, using his experiences to help others find freedom and hope.We also explore a powerful question: **What if your purpose was never just about you, but about the people your life was meant to impact?**When asked what he wanted people to gain from his life, Cedric's answer was simple: **HOPE.**This is more than a drug addiction testimony. It's a conversation about faith, spiritual experiences, recovery, redemption, and discovering purpose beyond your past.**Big Brutha Podcast — Real Talk.

“My gang was my religion.”

In this episode of the Big Brutha Podcast, Big Brutha E opens up about something he actually lived — gang culture, the literature, the oaths, the brotherhood, and the spiritual implications he didn’t fully understand when he was younger.

What starts as a search for belonging, protection, structure, and identity can become something much deeper. E shares how gang culture became a way of life for him, why he says it eventually became like a religion, and how his understanding changed after giving his life to Christ.

We get into the questions people rarely ask:

What are you really agreeing to when you take an oath?
Can something you pledged allegiance to continue affecting you after you walk away?
Is there a spiritual side to gang culture that people overlook?
And what happens when your allegiance to Christ comes into conflict with an identity you once swore to represent?

This isn't a conversation from the outside looking in. E lived it.

Imperfect people pointing people toward a perfect Christ.
We go through it. We grow through it. We help somebody else through it.

When people want christianity but not christ, they are often chasing a system rather than a relationship. This is a hard look at where your true allegiance lies.We see it often: people attracted to the benefits of a religious lifestyle but unwilling to submit to the actual authority of Jesus. This conversation breaks down how we often settle for Carnegie beliefs—prioritizing personal success and influence—while missing the deeper call to serve a Kingdom that functions differently than the world.True spiritual freedom requires more than just following moral rules or adopting a cultural identity. It requires us to evaluate if we are building our own platforms or operating under kingdom authority. When we align with the person of Christ rather than the expectations of modern religion, we find the function and peace we have been searching for all along.Are you following a set of principles or a Savior?

Is your anger a little elevated this week? If it is… what have you been listening to?In this episode of the Big Brutha Podcast, Big Brutha Will and Big Brutha E have a real conversation about what music is doing to our culture, our minds, and our spirit.From Tupac and Biggie rapping about death and violence before ultimately becoming victims of violence themselves, to funerals where we're mourning our loved ones while some of the same messages are still banging through the speakers—we ask a difficult question:What are we coming into agreement with?How much does the music we repeatedly consume affect the way we think, feel, speak, and eventually live?Will shares an experiment where he intentionally listened to secular music for a week and then changed what he was feeding himself musically—and noticed his mindset beginning to shift.We also get into the questions a lot of believers wrestle with: Can Christians listen to secular music? What does the Bible actually say about secular music? Is all secular music harmful? And should the question simply be “Is it a sin?”—or should we also be asking, “What is this producing in me?”This isn't about religious performance or simply labeling one genre “good” and another “bad.” It's about becoming more intentional about what we're continually feeding our minds and spirits.📖 Philippians 4:8“Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely… think on these things.”💬 Do you believe the music you listen to can actually change the way you think? Why or why not?We want to hear both sides in the comments.🔔 Subscribe to the Big Brutha Podcast for real conversations about faith, culture, healing, brotherhood, and following Christ without the religious performance.Real Talk.

How do you know it's really Yahweh speaking... and not just your own thoughts?

"I believe Yahweh still speaks. But one of the most dangerous sentences we can say is, 'Yahweh told me.'"

Not because Yahweh doesn't speak—but because sometimes we mistake our emotions, desires, fears, or opinions for His voice.

In this episode of the Big Brutha Podcast, we explore the danger of over-spiritualizing everything, why sensational revelation often gets more attention than simple biblical truth, and what Scripture actually teaches about testing what we hear.

This isn't an attack on prophecy or spiritual gifts. It's a call to biblical discernment.

• Can we mistake our own thoughts for Yahweh's voice?
• Why "Yahweh told me" can create unchecked authority
• How spectacle can become more attractive than Scripture
• The pressure to always have a "new revelation"
• What we can learn from the Bereans in Acts 17
• Why every believer should test what they hear—even from us

📖 Acts 17:11
📖 1 Thessalonians 5:20–21
📖 1 John 4:1
📖 Jeremiah 23:16

Don't believe this episode just because we said it. Search the Scriptures. Test everything. Hold fast to what is good.

A viral sermon sparked a question that a lot of Christians are asking:

**Should a wife call her husband "king"? Is that actually biblical?**

In this episode of the **Big Brutha Podcast**, Will and E review a clip from Pastor Omar and examine the Scriptures behind the message. We discuss what the Bible actually teaches about honor, respect, affirmation, and marriage—and whether speaking life over your spouse means calling them something the Bible doesn't.

We also react to a powerful clip from Boosie about losing his father, the impact of fatherlessness, and why a father's presence can shape the direction of a child's life. Finally, we discuss a study that asked people to choose between having their father or receiving a million dollars, leading to an honest conversation about the value of fathers in today's culture.

Whether you agree or disagree, our goal isn't to attack people—it's to examine ideas through the lens of Scripture and have real conversations about real life.

When did you stop trusting God to be God? Your identity in Christ changes everything.Most of us would never SAY we don't trust Yahweh — but what if our lives tell a different story? What happens when ambition becomes more important than obedience, when we carry burdens Yahweh never asked us to carry, and when we forget our identity isn't something we create — it's something we've already been given in Christ?In this episode of the Big Brutha Podcast, we have real talk on what it means to be made in the Image of God (Imago Dei) and why knowing WHOSE you are is how you know WHO you are. You know what I'm saying?IN THIS CONVERSATION:• Why being made in the Image of God (Imago Dei) changes how you see yourself• Conviction vs Condemnation — God corrects you back to Him, shame controls you away from Him• Why God's principles work for both the just and the unjust• How agreeing with what Scripture says about you transforms how you live• Why so many believers struggle with identity, purpose, and trusting YahwehThis isn't about positive thinking. It's about agreeing with what Yahweh has already spoken over your life."When did you stop trusting God to be God?"SCRIPTURES MENTIONED:Genesis 1:27 (Imago Dei), Deuteronomy 28:13 (head and not the tail), Romans 8:1 (no condemnation in Christ), 2 Corinthians 5:17 (new creation)Drop your thoughts in the comments.

A father's presence can shape a child's identity long after childhood is over.

In this episode of the Big Brutha Podcast, Big Brutha Will and Big Brutha E have an honest conversation about fatherhood, biblical manhood, childhood trauma, generational cycles, and the power of speaking life over your children.

What are fathers unknowingly passing down? How much do the words spoken over a child shape the adult they become? And can wisdom from the Holy Spirit help us recognize and break generational patterns before they reach the next generation?

We talk about the importance of fathers being more than providers, why presence matters, spiritual warfare, knowing your identity in Christ, childhood experiences that follow people into adulthood, and learning to obey God even when you cannot immediately see the results.

This wasn't a scripted conversation. Just two brothers with Scripture on the table talking honestly about life, faith, fathers, children, and breaking cycles.

Real Talk. Real Faith.

Where faith meets the front line and the Bible meets the battlefield.
