Rock Bible Scissors and The Link Wray Connection

Is Halloween just harmless fun, costumes, candy, and a little spooky entertainment? Or is there something deeper we should be asking ourselves? Are we simply participating in a cultural tradition, or have we become so comfortable with the things of this world that we sometimes stop questioning what we're celebrating?

In this episode, we're looking beyond the candy and costumes and asking some important questions. Are we, as Christians, becoming desensitized to things that may conflict with God's Word? Are we calling something good simply because society tells us it's harmless? And are we sometimes more concerned about fitting in with the world than standing firm in our faith?

Through Scripture, we'll explore Isaiah 5:20, Romans 12:2, 1 John 2:15, Colossians 3:2, Joshua 1:9, and Psalm 27:1. These verses challenge us to examine what influences our thinking, where our hearts are focused, and whether we're allowing God's Word or the world's standards to guide our decisions.

And before anyone thinks we're the Bible police, let's clear something up! We're not scared, we're not trying to be religious, and we're certainly not claiming to have all the answers. We're just two people trying to walk in faith, understand God's Word, and be the children He calls us to be.

Following God's Word isn't weird. What's weird is being afraid to stand up for what you believe!

So grab your coffee, maybe put down the candy corn for a minute, and join us for a little humor, some honest conversation, and a whole lot of biblical food for thought.

Because sometimes the biggest trick isn't what we're celebrating… it's what we've convinced ourselves is perfectly harmless.

Trick or treat? Or are we tricking ourselves? 🎃📖

Jesus warned us in Matthew 7:21 that not everyone who says, “Lord, Lord,” truly belongs to Him. So how do we tell the difference between a genuine sheep and a wolf in sheep’s clothing? And what does Jacob’s rather creative disguise have to teach us about appearances, deception, and identity?

From Jacob fooling Isaac with a little goat hair and borrowed clothes to Jesus warning about people who look the part but don’t know Him, we’re talking about the difference between looking like a believer and actually being one.

Because apparently, putting on the right outfit doesn’t make you a sheep—and saying “Lord, Lord” doesn’t necessarily mean you know the Lord.

Grab your Bible, bring your sense of humor, and let’s get to the wool truth. 🐑🐺

What do ten devastating plagues, a stubborn Pharaoh, the first Passover, and one of Metallica’s most iconic songs have in common? More than you might expect.

In this episode, Tommy and Lisa dive into Exodus 7–12, where God confronts the gods of Egypt, exposes Pharaoh’s hardened heart, and demonstrates His unmatched power. Along the way, they explore how Metallica’s “Creeping Death” drew inspiration from this incredible biblical account—and why the true story is even more powerful than the song.

From rivers turned to blood to the night the death angel passed over the homes marked by the blood of the lamb, this conversation uncovers God’s justice, His mercy, and the foreshadowing of Jesus Christ as our ultimate Passover Lamb.

Whether you’re a Bible student, a classic rock fan, or just curious how Scripture and heavy metal intersect, this episode will challenge you to see one of the Bible’s most dramatic stories in a whole new light.

WARNING: Side effects may include humming Metallica while reading Exodus.

As America celebrates 250 years of independence, we’ll wave the flag, watch the fireworks, and remember the courageous men and women who fought to secure the freedoms we enjoy today. From the Revolutionary War to the Civil War, from the beaches of Normandy to the battles still being fought to preserve liberty, freedom has always come at a cost.

But what if the greatest battle for freedom wasn’t fought on American soil?

Long before there was a Declaration of Independence, God was fighting for His people. From the Garden of Eden to the Exodus, from David and Goliath to the empty tomb, Scripture tells the story of a battle against sin, death, and the enemy of our souls. The freedoms we celebrate as Americans are precious, but they point us to an even greater freedom—one that no government can grant and no person can take away.

As the Apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 3:17, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

Join Tommy and Lisa as they explore the battles that shaped America, the battles that shaped God’s people, and the ultimate sacrifice that gave us victory!!! Won by The Lord of lords & King of all kings –Jesus

Before America had its birthday, heaven had already begun the greatest rescue mission in history.

This Fourth of July, celebrate more than 250 years of a nation. Celebrate the God who has always been writing the story of true freedom.

“Enjoy the fireworks—but never forget the cross. One celebrates a nation’s freedom; the other secured your eternity.”

Our Sundays speak Jesus but what does Monday say? Do You Have the Receipt? Is There Evidence of Your Faith? (Or as we like to ask… Your Mouth Says Jesus… Does Your Monday?)

It’s easy to say we believe in Jesus. We can quote Scripture, sing praise songs, and show up at church on Sunday. But what does our faith look like on Monday morning when we’re at work, in traffic, dealing with difficult people, or facing life’s challenges?

In this episode, we ask a simple but convicting question: Do you have the receipt? Is there evidence that your faith is real? We’re not saved by our works—we’re saved by grace through faith— because genuine faith changes the way we live.

Drawing from Acts 16:31 and 1 Peter 2:21–22, we’ll talk about what it means to truly follow Christ, not just believe in Him. Jesus didn’t simply call us to profess our faith; He called us to imitate His life, His love, His humility, and His obedience.

So… if someone looked at your life, would they see the evidence? Does your Monday reflect what your mouth proclaimed on Sunday?

Join us for an honest, encouraging conversation with a little humor, a lot of Scripture, and a challenge to live a faith that’s not only believed—but believable.

In this episode, Lisa and Tommy dive into the challenge every believer faces: God’s Word isn’t the problem—our willingness to follow it is.

Drawing from Revelation 2, Psalm 119:105 (“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path”), and the biblical call to run the race with endurance, they explore why so many Christians know where the path is but still find themselves wandering into spiritual ditches. The lamp is shining, the finish line is marked, and the crown awaits—but sometimes the runner gets distracted, tired, complacent, or convinced there’s an easier route.

With their signature humor and honest conversation, Lisa and Tommy discuss what it means to keep moving toward Christ in a world full of detours, dead ends, and flashing neon signs pointing the wrong way. Along the way, they’ll unpack Jesus’ encouragement and warnings to the churches in Revelation, the promise of the crown of life to those who persevere, and why faithfulness is less about sprinting and more about refusing to quit.

Because at the end of the day, the lamp still works. The question is: are we willing to follow where it leads until we cross the finish line and hear, “Well done”?

“To the one who is victorious… I will give the right to eat from the tree of life.” — Revelation 2:7.

What happens when Jesus stops grading churches on appearance and starts examining the heart? In this episode, Lisa and Tommy dive into Revelation 2:18–19 and the sobering messages to the churches in Revelation, where love, faith, service, and perseverance are praised — but hidden compromise is exposed.

With humor, honest conversation, and biblical truth, they explore what it means to live faithfully in the last days while asking the hard question: If Jesus audited today’s church… what would He find?

From spiritual burnout to “churchianity,” from genuine faith to going through the motions, this episode challenges believers to keep their lamps burning before the return of Christ. Because when the lamps go out, titles, traditions, and appearances won’t matter — only what was real.

Life is messy — spiritually, emotionally, and sometimes literally. In this episode, Jesus Is Coming… Hide the Laundry, we dive into Mark 13:22–35 and 1 Thessalonians 5:2 to talk about the unexpected return of Christ and what it really means to “stay awake” and be ready. Spoiler alert: Jesus isn’t coming back because your life is perfectly folded and organized. He’s coming back for people who are watching, faithful, and living with expectation.

With humor, real talk, and biblical truth, we explore why so many people try to “clean things up” for appearances while ignoring the condition of the heart. From false alarms and end-times panic to spiritual procrastination and everyday distractions, this conversation reminds us that nobody knows the day or the hour — but we are called to live prepared.

So whether your spiritual laundry basket is overflowing or you’ve been hitting snooze on your faith, this episode is your reminder: stay watchful, stay faithful, and maybe fold a towel or two just in case.

Part 2: The Smell of Spiritual Rot

What happens when we slowly drift away from the vine? In Part 2, Lisa and Tommy tackle the uncomfortable—but very real—side of the teaching. When we disconnect from Christ, the fruit in our lives begins to spoil. Attitudes change, priorities shift, and before long we start noticing the “smell” of spiritual decay. With wit and candid discussion, they unpack how people get pulled off the vine, the warning signs of spiritual rot, and—most importantly—how to reconnect to the true source of life.

Part 1: Life on the Vine

In this episode, Lisa and Tommy dive into what Jesus really meant when He told us to “remain in the vine.” What does it look like to stay spiritually connected to Christ in everyday life? Through honest conversation, humor, and real-life examples, they explore how staying attached to the vine produces spiritual fruit—peace, strength, wisdom, and purpose. When we remain close to Jesus, we aren’t striving to manufacture goodness; it naturally grows from the connection.
