What in the hell is going on with the Lord’s Supper? Is it called communion? Is it called the Divine Liturgy? The Eucharist? How often should we do it? Does it matter how we take it?

All of that really depends on which church you go to, but which one is right? Kenneth Tanner, who is been in ministry at Holy Redeemer in Rochester Hills for 13 years, joins us to share some much needed insight into the mess the church has made of something so pure! He drops some bombs on fear-based-communion-exclusion as he shares with us what the meal is really all about. So come on, join us! Let’s break bread and remember Jesus!

Grow up in church? How many times have you been baptized? Sprinkled? Dunked? What’s baptism for? Is baptism essential for salvation? Why do some people choose never to get baptized? And why in the world was Jesus baptized? Was it for the remission or forgiveness of his sins? Jason has actually had the privilege to visit the baptism of site of Jesus... both of them! (follow us on Instagram to see pictures). It seems the deeper we submerge our heads under the topic of baptism the more crazy it gets! The guys try to clear up some confusion around the church practice as they also share their preaching and teaching fails on the subject.

What’s your baptism story? We’d love to hear it and read it on an upcoming show! Reach out to us on one of or social media outlets or shoot us an e-mail.

From Billie,

I'm 25 years old, a housewife and active volunteer. I was raised atheist and I was in a very dark place when Jesus saved me. Literally saved my life, because I didn't believe life was worth living before I got to know him.

Joy Beth Smith is a managing editor with Christianity Today and releasing her new book “Party of One” this week! She comes on the show and enlightens us on the church’s failing when it comes to interacting with single people. She rightly points out how the church is steeped in the idolatry of marriage both in doctrine and in practice, and how the prosperity gospel is still alive and terrible in the single world. Joy Beth also has a bold and powerful call to the unmarried: Don’t wait until marriage! While Party of One may be written for single women in the church who are desiring marriage, it’s full of insight for the married and how we can minister to one another despite our marital status. This interview was a blast, we hope you enjoy! Grab a copy of “Party Of One” today! Available through Nelson publishing, Amazon (http://a.co/ffgx3Wt), or wherever fine books are sold!

We love your thoughts and feedback! Get a hold of us, and we’ll share it on the show!

“Doc” Randy Johnson returns to the show to share how people can know for sure they are “saved” or loved by God. We talk about how the legalistic church often sows seeds of doubt in the believer whether they intend to or not. For additional quotes and bible verses on this topic, please visit our website!

Jaime and Bri from the podcast “That One Time I Was Abducted By Aliens” come on the show to talk about… well… that one time they were abducted by aliens. They also confirm something for Jason that he thought might be true, but wasn’t sure. We talk angels and demons and… well… aliens in this interview that didn’t last nearly long enough. Are aliens angels or demons? Or are they just aliens? What do they want with us? Why do they contact us? What is their message? Jaime and Bri have answers! Dust off that aluminum foil hat, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

Buckle up. Jed from Church and Other Drugs joins us to talk about the Nephilim. That’s right, those hybrid human-demon giants that brought on the flood in Genesis six might still be around today! Or maybe not? Who knows! There are a thousand theories out there and we try to touch on them all. If nothing more, this is a wild intro into legend of the Nephilim and the book of Enoch.
