Tony shares a message with his church, THE QUEST in Novato California. 

Is the Bible all divinely inspired by God or is it human interpretation. 

Forgiveness is NOT a weapon.

Tony's college friend Jelani Greenidge talks about his article on the now viral hug + forgiveness of Brandt Jean + Amber Guyger.

Tony + Wendy COMMUNE on the present issues. 

It's midnight and Wendy wanted to record an episode, a podcast on pastoral confessions. Uh.... Why not? What could go wrong?

Well, Tony could talk about his BUTT CHEEKS (again) and could offend people with his opinions on SPEAKING IN TONGUES,. So there's that. 

Oh, well. It's real, opinionated and the stories of just one pastor. But he still loves Jesus, the Bible and the church (no matter what anyone says!). 

We can't speak for everyone's experience but hope in some way you can relate... and laugh. 

Anyone have any church stories that you want to share? Looking for all sorts of topics: Money, relationships, Sunday School, sermons, awkward interactions. If that's you...give us an email [email protected]

Never forget God loves you. He...She does! (And we know that might offend someone, but...just think about it. 

And please subscribe, rate us and share with a friend. 

Let's do this.  Tony starts off a new series of conversations, or CONFESSIONS: sharing real issues, anecdotes, doubts, questions and frustrations about being a pastor.

Submit your ideas, questions, and stories. 

Angie Ibarra shares her story of finding her purpose for empathy and compassion in the midst of pain.  Feeling alone and voiceless growing up in a large family---she longed for a mentor and a place she could dream and learn...but had a difficult time finding one. 

Now, her story is one that gives voice to those who don't---recognizing that every child deserves love, value and the ability to learn and imagine.  In 2007 she created her organization GENERATIONS UNITED, in the same year of the biggest devastation of her life. Take a listen to her story and see how you might relate. 

Want to VOLUNTEER? It only takes ONE HOUR a week to impact a child.

Nifty Fifty. 

Tony talks about his teeth, broken systems and why we need to keep seeking JUSTICE. 

Big news! I (Tony) took a part time job serving as a pastor with my friend MATT NIGHTINGALE.

Two days a week I'll be driving up north over the Golden Gate Bridge to serve as a co-pastor.
