In today’s world, at first glance, it seems like science and faith are opposites, that they have nothing to do with one another and that they are about as far apart as anything could be. But, is that true? Is it true that Christianity and science are opposites? Is it correct to think that they have nothing to do with one another?

In today's podcast episode, I dig into these questions and share my thoughts on the relationship between faith and science.

We are living in a culture that is creating, and even – at times – happy about having, a fatherless society.

You’ve heard the lines: Men are optional. A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. Or that with medical advances, men won’t even be needed to create life. And on and on…

But the reality is that despite the current push of society, despite men often being told they are an accessory and not really that important anymore, the stats are overwhelming.

In today’s episode, I get into the fact that yes, Fathers Matter, and just how important it is to become the father God created you to be.

When guys tell me why they are not getting married, they will often say, “it’s just a piece of paper.” Or they will tell me that it is just a formality. Or they will come up with something similar. 

So why get married? What's the purpose of marriage? And how do we build a strong marriage?

Those are the topics that I dig into in this Five Minute Friday episode.

A while ago there was a story in the news of a runner, a man who was entered into a marathon and he ended up crossing the line in third place. But the story quickly changed when witnesses reported seeing the man get on a bus, during the race, and ride it to near the finish line. He then got off the bus and hid behind a tree, only to start running again after two other men had passed in front him. He didn’t want to be in first place, that would too obvious.

And although he crossed the line in third place, it didn’t last long. His trick was found out, and he was stripped of his medal. This was a man who did not embrace the race.

It’s tempting for us to want to jump ahead to the finish line, to skip the miles in between starting and completing the race, but those miles in between are critical. Those miles in between are where the learning happens, that’s where our growth takes place. And God knows it.

In Hebrews 12:1 we read, “let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.”

As Christians, as men who have been around the sun a few times, this isn’t our first time around the track. Now some of us are farther along than others, and some of you are just getting started. But we are all in the race together. And as we’re running this race, we need to get rid of the weight that is slowing us down.

Why is it that so many men avoid church?
Why are so many churches filled with women and men who have reluctantly been dragged along?
What are the messages that are taught in church, and which ones are avoided?
Does avoiding those messages have any impact on men attending church?
Who is the Jesus that is discussed in many churches and is he different from the Jesus that is discussed in the Bible?

Too many churches are just rooms filled with women, and in today's episode, I tackle these questions and give you something to think about as you head into your weekend.

Have courage men, have courage.

Lines like that tend to create deep emotional responses in men. We love courage. We love the ideas that come into our minds when we think of courage. But, why is that? How could a few simple words end up meaning so much?

Let’s start first with trying to understand what courage is to begin with. When you think about courage, what do you think of? What images or visions come to mind?

Normally, men think of a soldier in battle, doing something heroic and dangerous. Men think of an act of bravery that could result in the loss of life or limb. Men think of David defeating Goliath. Men think of a man, out in the woods, fighting a wolf alone with his bare hands. Men think of great men doing great things. Doing. Taking action.

But if I'm not hanging off a helicopter or running into a burning building, how can I be a courageous man? 

Listen to today's show for what might be a different take on this important question.

When we first look at Jeremiah 29:11 it seems so simple and straightforward. And, it seems so very encouraging, hopeful, and optimistic. It is one of those verses that lives on wall plaques, printed on shirts, and painted onto coffee mugs. But, is it possible this famous verse is taken out of context?

As a reminder, here is Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

With this verse, all translations are very similar, so there is nothing to dig into in how this verse is translated. So, what’s the cliché, what’s the deal with this verse being taken out of context? Well, for that, as is usually the case, we need to expand our reading and knowing to the verses and chapters that are surrounding this verse.

As we get ready to celebrate the 4th of July weekend here in the United States, this week’s show is going to be different from what I normally talk about. and I hope you enjoy it.

Independence and Freedom are both very easy to take for granted, and both can easily slip away. It is important to step back and think about what it is that’s unique about Independence Day in America, because lots of countries have Independency Days, and what does it mean when someone (like me) uses the phrase American Exceptionalism...

It only takes a few minutes of being online and looking at posts that combine politics and Christianity to find people making the argument that Jesus was a socialist. And since I talk about politics online and while I certainly share my faith online, I took these conversations seriously, and wondered about the question, was Jesus a socialist? Did he practice socialism or encourage socialism for his followers?

Back in June of 1992, it was reported in London’s Daily Telegraph that former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev had said, “Jesus was the first socialist…” so this statement and the question has been around for quite some time now.

In today’s podcast, I share my thoughts on this question and share my answer. Let’s get started!
