Jesus Promised that we could experience Him and God on a regular basis.  He said they would come and manifest themselves to us.  But what is the price that we must pay in order to experience that?  They will not simply dwell with and manifest to people who live in sin or do not come to Him in the ways He demands.  That fellowship is available but it's not free. 

Today's episode discusses the state of the quiet place with the state of modern Churchianity today.  

Why do you believe what you believe—and have you ever seriously tested whether it is true?

In this opening episode of the new WHY Matters series, Luke explains why so many teenagers, young adults, and lifelong churchgoers are walking away from Christianity. Too many people were taught what to believe, but they were never equipped to understand why it was true or how to answer the difficult questions about God, suffering, science, morality, the Bible, and Jesus.

This episode challenges Christians, atheists, skeptics, and agnostics alike to examine the beliefs they inherited and ask what evidence actually supports them. It also explores what is ultimately at stake when someone rejects God and embraces a purely naturalistic worldview—including the foundations of meaning, human value, morality, justice, hope, and purpose.

The goal of WHY Matters is not to protect fragile beliefs from scrutiny. It is to test everything, confront the hardest questions honestly, and follow the evidence wherever it leads.

Because what you believe shapes everything—and truth is freedom.

In this kickoff episode of the new Why Matters series, Luke lays the foundation for one of the most important questions every person must face:

Do I believe what I believe because it is actually true, or simply because it is what I was taught?

Many people grow up inheriting beliefs from their parents, churches, schools, culture, influencers, or personal experiences. But at some point, every person has to examine whether those beliefs can stand up under the weight of truth, evidence, reason, and reality.

This episode challenges Christians, skeptics, teenagers, parents, and anyone wrestling with faith to stop running from hard questions and start asking better ones. Why do I believe in God? Why trust the Bible? Why follow Jesus? Why reject or accept Christianity? Why does any of this matter?

The truth is, what you believe about God, creation, morality, purpose, suffering, death, and eternity shapes everything: your identity, your hope, your decisions, your relationships, your worldview, and your future.

This is not about blind faith. It is about testing everything, asking honest questions, and following the truth wherever it leads.

Test everything. Truth is freedom.

A quick look into our natural state which informs our love for God and the praise that He truly deserves.  

What does it really mean to worship God?

Is worship just singing songs on Sunday, or is it something far deeper—and far more demanding?

In this episode, we strip away modern assumptions and return to the biblical meaning of worship. We explore how Scripture defines worship not as a style, atmosphere, or emotion, but as a posture of the heart expressed through obedience, submission, and allegiance. You’ll learn why worship is inseparable from truth, why sincerity alone is not enough, and how it’s possible to sing to God while actually worshiping something else.

We also confront uncomfortable questions:

What qualifies as worshiping a false god? How does self-worship sneak into modern spirituality and even church culture? And how can we tell the difference between honoring God and subtly reshaping Him to fit our preferences?

If you’ve ever wondered whether your life truly reflects worship—or whether worship has been reduced to a moment instead of a way of living—this episode will challenge, clarify, and call you back to a biblical understanding of what it means to worship God in spirit and in truth.

In this exposed we finish up analyzing the top 5 arguments for why people say it's ok to celebrate Christmas.  Do these arguments line up biblically or are they a grave misunderstanding of what God desires of us? 

Is Christmas truly a harmless celebration of Christ—or have modern Christians adopted traditions Scripture never authorized?

In this episode, I respond directly to the five most common arguments used to defend Christmas observance within Christianity. With an open Bible  we examine whether appeals to Christian liberty, the New Covenant, “redeemed pagan symbols,” and accusations of legalism actually hold up under biblical scrutiny.

This is not a rant, and it’s not tradition-bashing. It’s a careful, Scripture-driven challenge to assumptions many believers have never questioned—asking whether sincerity alone is enough, or whether God still cares how He is worshiped.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• Does “Christian liberty” justify practices God never commanded?
• Did the New Covenant abolish God’s appointed times—or redefine obedience?
• Can pagan origins truly be redeemed for holy worship?
• Are we honoring Christ… or simply continuing tradition?

This episode is for you.

Whether you celebrate Christmas, question it, or have never heard the other side of the discussion, this conversation is meant to clarify, sharpen, and call believers back to biblical discernment.

📖 Test everything. Hold fast to what is good. (1 Thessalonians 5:21)

Modern Christianity has drifted far from the worship God Himself established. In this episode, we go back to the Scriptures to uncover how God commands His people to worship — through His Sabbaths, Feasts, and appointed times — and why these rhythms of worship reveal His character, His covenant, and His calendar of redemption.

Today's episode exposes how “Churchianity” replaced God’s appointed times with man-made traditions, and how this shift has caused believers to miss the fullness of what it means to worship “in spirit and in truth.”

🔍 In this episode, we’ll explore:

• What true worship looks like according to Scripture
• The prophetic purpose of the Sabbath and God’s Feasts
• How Yeshua (Jesus) honored and fulfilled these holy days
• The difference between Biblical worship and religious routine
• Why returning to God’s appointed times revives intimacy with Him

📖 Scriptures referenced: Genesis 2:3, Leviticus 23, Isaiah 58, Matthew 5:17–19, John 4:23–24, Colossians 2:16–17

🔥 It’s time to return to the pattern God gave — not the one man invented. Let’s rediscover the beauty and rhythm of worship that aligns with the heart of the Father.
