In This Episode of Notes from Nineveh, we explore Paul’s words in Acts 14:22, “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God,” and why spiritual maturity is formed through pressure, not preserved by escape. Scripture shows that endurance, not avoidance, shapes resilient faith. We consider how suffering, struggle, and perseverance become instruments of growth, forming believers who are strengthened, grounded, and deeply rooted in Christ.

In this episode of Notes from Nineveh, the most important battles of a man’s life are rarely loud or dramatic. They are fought in habits, attention, and daily obedience. Discipleship is framed as a quiet war, where grace trains men through ordinary practices and faithful presence, embracing our calling rather than our comfort, through long obedience instead of quick fixes.

In this second part of Notes from Nineveh: Men and the Good Fight, we talk about wisdom and knowledge, the shaping of faith, and how discernment forms healthy leadership. We explore submission and authority as gifts, not threats, and why emotional vulnerability with other men is a strength. This is a call to action for every man to build a battle plan and fight the good fight with intention.

In this first part of Notes from Nineveh: Men and the Good Fight, we talk about what it means for men to fight the good fight of faith — not with bravado, but with courage, conviction, and endurance. We explore how the gifts of the Spirit form men for service and leadership, not self-promotion, in a weary world.

In this episode of Notes from Nineveh, we examine how Health and Wealth theology twists the gospel into a message of prosperity, comfort, and self-gain. Standing in contrast, the theology of the Cross reveals God’s power in weakness, suffering, and self-giving love—shaping a faith rooted in Christ, not consumerism.

Faith Alone, But Never Alone explores the tension and harmony between faith and works in the Christian life. Rooted in grace, true faith is never passive—it moves, loves, and serves. This episode unpacks why we're saved by grace through faith alone, yet that faith never remains alone. It bears fruit.

Scripture was never meant to remain on the page. In this episode of Notes from Nineveh, we explore how the Word shapes not just what we believe, but how we live. From quiet reading to active obedience, we consider how Scripture forms the inner life of a disciple—transforming hearts, habits, and hopes. What does it mean to live a life so rooted in the Word that it becomes visible in the world around us?

This month’s Notes from Nineveh explores the urgent call of discipleship in a world of competing loyalties. No Neutral Ground unpacks five dimensions of following Jesus—spiritual, physical, and relational—urging us to reject passivity, embrace discipline, and live with bold conviction in a world where every inch is spiritually contested.

We all feel the pull—to run, to hide, to become someone we’re not. In this first episode, we dive into the tension between the True Self and the False Self, exploring how easy it is to slip into roles, identities, and distractions that keep us from our real purpose. But what if God is working in the details, even when life feels confusing or uncomfortable? Join Dwain and Joe as we unpack the struggle to embrace our calling, the ways we resist it, and how grace continually invites us back to who we were meant to be. Whether you’re in a season of clarity or running in the opposite direction, this conversation is for you.
