LIFE Podcast Show

In this episode, Dez discusses the reality of a new form of cultural Christianity that emphasizes "coolness" rather than Christlikeness; one that trades holiness for fun and crosses for Christian T-Shirts. We discuss the realities of Christianity not being cool at all, but it being worth the cost of following Christ and living for His glory. Please like, review, and subscribe to this channel so that we may get this message out to our family, friends, neighbors, and communities. Be blessed! 

Too often, our native sons of America settle for pitiful mediocracy, flagrant self-centeredness, and delayed adolescents. In this episode, Dez details his outlook on the landscape of contemporary Christianity, and its utter neglect of modeling biblical masculinity to the next generation. But, the future is bright and God is raising up "Kingdom Men" with their eyes on a King whose rule is authoritative and absolute. We pray you are blessed by this show! 

  In the movie, “Bruce Almighty”, Jim Carey sings the lyrics to a song entitled, "What if God was one of us?" A snippet of the words says, “What if God was one of us, just a stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home.” In the Bible, it speaks about how God indeed did become one of us, and He is our Immanuel, “God with us”, He is our incarnated Christ, “God wrapped himself in human flesh.” One reason Jesus came into the world was to testify to the truth. In this episode, we discuss the implications of testifying to the truth and faithfully living out the truth in our everyday life. 

Please enjoy the show and leave a 4-5 star review so that we can continue to push this faithful and biblical content. 

In this episode, Dez and E discuss the recent outpouring of prayers, thoughts, and concerns for the NFL player Demar Hamlin. They discussed how natural it is for man to turn to God in times of suffering, uncertainty, and pain but neglect Him when things are going well. Finally, they discuss the brevity of life and how God can cause good to come out of desperate and pain circumstances. We hope you enjoy it! 

What are you willing to sacrifice for someone you love? Like Bonnie and Clyde, are you a ride-or-die type of person? Adversity usually tests us in that regard and shows us who we are and what we stand for. In this episode, Dez talks about how faithfulness to God and His word usually leads to opposition. He discusses how standing for truth is swimming against the current, but even though it is challenging, it will be worth it in the end. Oh yeah, he also speaks about why "The Longest Yard" is one of his favorite films and how it correlates to today's show. 

Is the goal of marriage to have a wedding or to stay married? How well should you know your spouse before you marry them? How do you avoid the unavoidable drama and conflict that comes with marrying the love of your life? In this episode, Dez, Dave, and E discuss marriage's conflicts, challenges, and difficulties. They discuss practical things one could do to make the marriage a bit more peaceful and gently work through conflict together to seek reconciliation and maintain, as the Bible says, "The unity of love" in our marriages.

Have you ever looked back on your life and said, "If I only knew what I know now"? In this episode, as we continue to discuss the topic of divorce, we ponder thoughts about how things could have been different if we knew what we know now about God and ourselves. Lastly, we shared our thoughts on Pastor Tim Keller's book "The Meaning of Marriage" and how it puts marriage (and divorce) into perspective. 

Divorce is always a challenging topic to discuss. Divorce can be overwhelming, from the grief, pain, embarrassment, and complexities of it all. In this episode, we sit down and discuss divorce's effects, ramifications, and destruction from a man's point of view. Dave and E candidly express the heartbreak, hopelessness, and confusion surrounding their divorces, but God was always there with them every step. This episode is winsome, heavy, and transparent. So, buckle up and enjoy this rollercoaster of emotions and rawness. 

In this episode, Dez and Dave sit down with Eric Talbert about his book, "Fear Not." We discussed what inspired him to write the book, what feedback he received, and what he ultimately wanted to accomplish through publication. The discourse led to the question: How do we overcome fear with faith? Finally, we discuss why fearing can be such a kryptonite to us while stifling our relationship with the Lord! A link for the book has been included below as well.
