Episode 7 - The Carnal Church: The Cussing Pastor (Part 1)

Pastor Thaddeus Matthews from Memphis, Tennessee had a twerking contest in a gymnasium at his church...

Pastor Thaddeus is 60 years old and has stated he’s been in church all his life and left church because he stated it was fake. Pastor with all the titles, homosexuality in church, manipulation.

He left church for 6 years and was about to start a blues club. His mom was dying and told him to join church and start preaching again... long story short... He did.

(Hurt by religion) Religion begets religion

​

Episode 5 - Social Media in Christianity: Has it become a hindrance? ​

With Special Guest HisName & Qween

Not just from a distraction and nonproductive standpoint but also a dishonorable standpoint.

Believers who aren’t called;no authority in their local church. Don’t participate in ministry(ies) using social media as their “pool pit”. Is that rooted in disobedience?

Have we lost reverend and honor for the five fold ministries?

Critiquing people out of your lane. Usurp the wisdom of leaders in the five fold. (Everybody an expert)

Have we disregard order and spiritual leadership, for the admiration of titles?

Are people being ordained more than they are being called?

Social media creating comparison.

The danger of providing opinions on Facebook. (Ambassadors of Christ)

Christian gospel columns?

Has Social media giving us a lack of mercy?

Episode 4 - Prosperity Gospel: Truth or a Lie? - With Special Guest Pastor Mike Carter

Prosperity Gospel: Truth or a Lie?

What is really prosperity gospel?

Why do so many people demonize prosperity?

Does God promise health and wealth?

Is prosperity gospel another gospel? -John Piper

1Timothy 6:6

Has false humility become the enemy to abundant living?

Has sin consciousness/complex of sinning and repentance hinder the kingdom message?

Meme about Joel Osteen. Made 40 million off the church, you’re not a pastor but a business man.

What is the stigma behind pastor being rich? Why do leaders in church have to be poor? Do that stem from this disconnect of Jesus being poor?

Do prosperity gospel preachers tell people to focus on riches? Is riches the center of prosperity gospel?

Is it God that tells pastors to tell their congregations to sow certain amounts? 10 people sow $150... etc.

Is it misconception and lack of a kingdom understanding that makes the preaching of one struggles more honorable than biblical abundant living.

When Transparency Goes Wrong!

Is John Gray too transparent? Is that’s operating in wisdom?

Is he acting like victim in this situation?

Derrick Jaxn comments: accurate or out of line?

Do spiritual leaders hinder the body trying to be more relatable ? (Led by flaws, scars and wounds)

Should spirit leaders led if themselves are not completely healed?

Have we equated anointing to effective and godly leadership?

Has transparency make it okay to preach from emotions and not being spirit led?

Are we going to churches that make sinning okay by focusing on grace? Has the church begin to follow those who tickle their ears?

Relating by flaws or the Fall of Men doesn’t help men gain their identity, only the righteousness of God and identifying yourself with who Jesus is and was does that.

​P.S Apologies, Due to some technical difficulties the audio does cut out before the last 10 mins of the show, however the main point we want everybody to take away from this show is that we should give God all of our Hurt, Sufferings, Concerns , and Issues, because he is faithful and just to forgive us and give us peace in the midst of Storms! Give it to God!

The R.Kelly Effect: Molestation in the Church

This is an elephant in the room when it comes to the church. Our dirty little secret we swept under the rug.

·         2 Samuel 13: The Story of Tamar being rape by her own brother Amnon. (Nothing new under the sun)

·         Money was used as a tool or a weapon (Can’t serve two God).

·         I wanted for him to give me a big break. I want to be famous, and I want R.Kelly to make me famous, but he’s not going to get anything in return.

·         Dangle money in front, fame in front and you compromise your morals

·         The elephant in the room is there’s people in the body that does the same thing (Bishop Eddie Long, Priests, etc.); how can we show so much grace to these people, but not all people?

·         According to most studies, Black People worship celebrities more than any other group of people. Nielsen

·         Resolution? Because there’s millions of R.Kellys…

·         R.Kelly Spotify Stream Surge 16 Percent after Docuseries air

·         When they sing and rap about abuse, manipulation, exploitation – believe them. Notorious B.I.G.

·         Believing victims… Should we initially believe the victim or should this be a case by case basic?

·         Does one character come into play during these accusation?

·         Victim and the Perpetrator?

·         What’s the line on forgiving and forgetting?

We will address, that spirit( Perverse spirit) not an individual. We don’t war against the flesh. You attack an individual but the spirit behind it in the Kingdom.

​

The current state of CHH. Ministry vs. Artistry?

Legalistic (started from listening to Bryan Trejo song, Can I preach). The danger in it and the rewards.

Grace does not need anything added to it.

Hard questions: Is our focus only on the image of looking religious or holy? Is our focus on building up our own egos and pride? Is our focus on sin and failure alone, or is it on the forgiving grace of God?

Legalism is rooted in senses, marginalizes Jesus and perverts the essence of Holiness.
