Today’s show is going to be a bit different from some other episodes. I’m sitting down with a friend of mine to talk about faith, Christianity, modern day heresies, and all sorts of topics. It’s the kind of conversation that I hope more of us have with our friends, and I hope you enjoy listening in on this discussion.

John Williams is a servant of God who strives daily to pick up his cross and follow Christ; contently serving in an upside-down kingdom. The greatest honor he has is the opportunity to study scripture with his wife, disciple his two sons, and serve his community in the name of Christ.  As a former pastor's kid John has had a front row view of different spins on religious doctrine. Having had many faith crises in his time he was confronted with the dreaded questions, "what do I believe... and why?"  Starting over from scratch, he began at the first place - the only place - that matters:  the text. Since then, he has devoted his time to studying scripture and discipleship, while serving the community.

Questions Answered:

• What is a heresy?
• Are we experiencing anything truly new in our society these days?
• What is original sin and how does it lead to heresy today?
• If I am basically good, what is the impact of the death of Christ?
• How can self-help potentially lead to heresy?
• What do you think about churches who skip the challenging parts of the Bible?
• Jesus talks about both judgment and love; how do we balance those two?
• Is the Bible just a book written by a bunch of men and not divinely inspired?
• How do we discern false teachers and false teaching?
• What are your thoughts of the prosperity gospel?
• How does a man start reading and studying the Bible?
• What about Free Will versus Predestination?
• What happens when a church becomes overly political?
• What is panentheism and how does it impact people today?
• What happens when a man daily spends time in scripture?

Coming home to a place where you feel safe and secure is something every father longs for. But all too often men are looking for home in the wrong places. When we flip that around and understand what home truly is, and where we need to be looking for home, we can find it in the right places instead.

Our guest today went from being bullied as a child, being a chameleon to fit in, and losing himself to becoming a man who has impacted families in a powerful way through his work and he’s here to share great insights with us.

Ben Killoy Is a Marine Veteran, speaker, and coach with a focus on helping dads rebuild confidence in who they are. He launched his first podcast Military Veteran Dad in 2019 and his second podcast The Business of Fatherhood in 2021. Ben now helps other dads rebuild their inner confidence and get them excited to walk through the door of their homes.

Questions Answered:

• How do you define home?
• How do you help someone work through discovering out who they truly are?
• What does it mean to build our home on a solid foundation?
• If I don’t feel I am worthy of love, how do I work through that?
• Is it possible to unconditionally love other people if I don’t unconditionally love myself first?
• Where do men mistakenly look for home?
• What’s the difference between prior generations of men and our generation?
• What happens to a man when he has had adversity removed?
• As fathers, are we raising kids or are we raising future adults?
• What is a way that fathers can create adventure for their own children?
• How did the idea of home come from the work you do with Military Veteran Dad?
• Where does the feeling of home truly come from?

Politics today plays a major part in nearly every aspect of our world. As Christian men, we’re called to navigate this world with wisdom and with our eyes on the Kingdom of God. But does that mean that we’re to ignore world politics, or be involved in politics? What does God have to say about government? How are we to live under the authority of a worldly ruler, even if that ruler is evil? Our guest today has amazing insights into these questions, and lots more in this important discussion

Mitch London’s journey is a roller coaster ride familiar to many. A smooth start, twists and turns, big drops, places where it feels out of control, times when the speed really picks up, and times when it seems like everything has almost stopped. But like most great rides, he would do it all over again.

In Jan of 2019 Mitch received a vision from God to start a Men's Ministry called Just Add Wilderness. God was showing Mitch how men today have lost their Identity in Christ, which has resulted in stagnation, depression, and frustration. Mitch has been guiding men to a deeper understanding of their identity of Christ Jesus and watching them break free from the bondages of life. Helping Men became a mandate, not a market.

As a pastor, Mitch really understood the vital need for relationships and connections within the body of Christ. The life on life and heart to heart discipleship that's needed was his passion.

Today Mitch is the founder of Spirit Led Coaching where he helps Ministry and Business Leaders partner with the Holy Spirit and learn how to steward the gifts that God has already placed within them.

Questions Answered:

• What does “God’s Government” mean?
• How does ‘they kingdom come” practically relate to the idea of God’s Government?
• What are some of the mandates Jesus gave to us?
• How are Christians to follow the mandate to take ground for the King?
• Should a Christian man be concerned with Earthly politics?
• What are the next steps for a man leading his family through these times?
• Can you explain what authority a man has been given?
• Is there a conflict between using my authority and choosing to give my burden to Jesus?
• How are people to act when subjected to an evil ruler?
• What does it mean to give unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s?
• Where should a man start on the challenge of politics and God’s government?

• What are some of the consequences of men not attending church?

Prison can be a hard place, filled with people who have committed some of the worst crimes. As we’ll learn today, prison can also be a place of redemption, where people find God. It’s not an easy conversation to have, and our guest today knows that better than any. He went from being in prison and thinking that he would be there until he died to a free man who now preaches from the pulpit.

Howie Close has spent the last eleven years as a pastor at Woodmen Valley Chapel, overseeing the church’s statewide prison ministry. For over twenty years prior to that, he was incarcerated in the same prisons where he now carries the keys. And now he has the privilege of ministering there with his teams. He lives in Colorado with his wife and their daughter.

Please note – there are a few moments of background noise and poor connection in this recording.

Questions Answered:

• What’s your story of growing up to finding yourself in prison?
• How did you find a Bible and learn about God while in an isolation cell?
• What was it like being so young and being in the toughest and scariest prison in the state?
• When did you decide to take your fighting spirit and bend it towards the kingdom of God?
• How did you get out of prison and transition to teaching from the pulpit?
• How does it feel to freely walk in and out of a building you thought you would be in until you died?
• What is it like having best friends who have committed some of the worst crimes, but who now follow Jesus?
• When talking about redemption of someone who has committed such crimes, what about the victims and the families of victims?
• Can you share another story of a man whose life has been changed through prison ministry?
• How can we adjust our stereotypes of prisoners?
• Does the writing of Paul take on a different meaning to men who are in prison?
• What does it mean for us to live in submission to the truth?
