Ringside Preachers

We are here to serve you! While you sweat during reps or sprints - let us motivate. While you scream at other drivers on the road as you drive to recklessly to work with a jesus fish on your bumper - let us inspire. While you sit on your deck with a can of Strohs in your hand and a copy of Thomas Pynchon's V. in the other, let us talk you off the ledge. We are proud to be a part of the 1517 legacy podcast network - 1517legacy/podcast check our friends out! Check us out a ringsidepreachers.com, Facebook/ringsidepreachers, instagram, etc. TOPICS: 1. Does a pastor need to know biblical languages and use them? Why should you expect that from your pastor? Does it help sermons, bible studies? Are you impressed by that? Does he constantly remind you of it to your annoyance? 2. How to write a sermon? Ever wonder how a pastor puts together a sermon? The guys follow a couple different patterns. Or do they just wait for the holy spirit to tell them what to say? 3. If it says Biblical so and so, is it better or better for a christian ? Is there such thing as biblical leadership, diet, work out strategy, etc. Do we have to search for biblical prooftext for every thing we do in life? 4. Mark 4, Genesis 3 Jesus and the devil. What's the story morning glory? Also, notice in Mark how his family thinks Jesus is out of his mind!? Was ist das? music: Dead Bees - I love my man Joel Allen Hess (soundcloud=joelallenhess) - Sons J.S. Bach - Fugue G minor

Rather proclaim it, Westmorland, through my host,

That he which hath no stomach to this fight,

Let him depart; his passport shall be made,

And crowns for convoy put into his purse;

We would not die in that man's company

That fears his fellowship to die with us.

This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.

He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,

Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,

And rouse him at the name of Crispian.

He that shall live this day, and see old age,

Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,

And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian."

Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,

And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day." Henry V - William Shakespeare

TOPICS

1. How to lose gracefully (don't whine)

2. Is it wrong to have regrets? Do Christians have regrets? Is it wrong to say yo have no regrets?

3. Jesus does what He wants to on the Sabbath - so can you. Looking at the upcoming Gospel text for many of us on June 3!

4. Jungian Archetypes, Jordan Peterson and Jesus. Is Carl Jung right? are there common themes in all myths religions and stories. Is that a good thing or bad. Does it prove Christianity Wrong?

ToPIcS:

1. Prayer preaching! Seriously, choose one. Does your pastor sound like he is preaching instead of praying? Is it wrong? What about Johann Gerhard devotionals or Flannery O'Connor's prayer journal

2. NATURE IS HARD. For some time since the enlightenment we have been sold the fantasy that nature heals itself, that there is a utopia and oneness we can achieve in nature.

3. ATHANASIUS - Little guy with a big topic. What is the creed? Did he write it? Why don't the orthodox use it? Do you have to know the trinity to be saved? Is salvation up to one's intellectual assent to certain doctrines?

4. DID JESUS SLOUCH? Jordan Peterson encourages proper stances to increase saratonin and an alpha male attitude.
