A new year always brings change. For us, it's BIG TIME CHANGE! We have a whole new format with a whole lot more music, and the same quality of Good News and Biblical perspective to feed your soul with encouragement. In this episode, we have a nice jazzy instrumental hip hop mix concocted by DJ Havcutz, and a French-influenced house music set by b.Side. In between, we're having an open and honest conversation about Christian music compared to secular music, and our experience with both as pastors with music backgrounds.

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given…Din Daa Daa, Doe Doe Doe! Ok, so that last part is not in the Bible. But in this last episode for the year, we had to tell our version of the Christmas Story. Get out of your house shoes, and be ready to dance, and celebrate the greatest Gift of all time – Jesus the Christ.

Both James aka DJ Havcutz and Brandon aka b.Side collab on the mix for this one, featuring some Funk, Nu-disco, Breakbeat, and an ode to the Turntablists. We can pretty much guarantee that you’ve NEVER heard the Gospel or the Christmas Story told like this…

One of the touchiest, most controversial, and emotionally-fueled issues in the U.S. right now. The 2022 election enabled American citizens to publicly declare their stance on abortion-related issues, especially in California. The chief issue though is, when does life actually begin?

Though this subject is usually addressed through the lens of extreme biases, delivered with intense emotion, we’re going to try and take the bias and emotion out of the conversation, and just present the truth as it’s written. Our hope is to share the truth of God’s Word concerning this issue, to help both the Christian, and the non-Christian.

Brandon aka b.Side goes back to his old electronic music roots, and serves up a fresh liquid drum & bass set to ease your mind while we discuss truth.

Take your unsaved friends/family to…fill in the blank. Whatever you filled in, is typical of how the modern church equips us as believers to share our faith. But, have we seen an improvement in church growth or communities thriving in the work of the Gospel?

While James aka DJ Havcutz sets the mood with a nice lounge, chill-out, hip-hop vibe, we have a conversation about if these common church practices are what the Bible says to how we actually should share our faith with those of different religious beliefs.

When it comes to being a Christian, are we supposed to be “good people,” or are we supposed to be Godly people? What’s the difference, right? We know that the world is filled with “do’s” and “don’ts” that are supposed to define what it means to be “good.”

As b.Side drops a nice mix of vibey Nu Disco sounds, the guys look to the scriptures to describe how the fruit of the Spirit differs from the traditions of “church life,” religious practices, and even the world standards.

A lot of people today emphasize that we need to love ourselves, implying that loving ourselves, will help us treat others well. Is that what the Bible teaches?

The Bible actually teaches that we’re supposed to “deny ourselves.” This phrase “deny self” has become one of those Christian terms, that often times people don’t really understand what it means.

While DJ Havcutz and b.Side try to translate this “Christian lingo,” and explain the Biblical perspective about modern Christian culture, DJ Havcutz prepared a pretty great blend of electronic Hip Hop beats, seasoned with some jazz, soul, and funk elements throughout.

We love competition, don’t we? In our culture today, we push competition for everything, not just sports. If we fail in competition, we can learn from mistakes and grow. If we succeed in competition, we often use that success to measure our own excellence, but is any of this Biblical?

Competition is such a normal way of life these days in so many ways, that it’s crazy to see how the scriptures address some of these things. Brandon aka B.side plays a French, Tech, Minimal Deep House DJ set in the back, while we talk about what the LORD says about our attitudes in these areas of our life. If you want to make sure you’re living right in His eyes, don’t miss out on this episode.

Some Christians will tell you that social media is trash from the devil, and to stay away. Some Christians will tell you that social media is a mission’s field, filled with people that are ripe for the Gospel. Which is it?

If you’ve ever wondered what role social media might play in ministry, in end times prophecy, or how you should handle it in your personal daily life, we go through the scriptures to give an honest presentation of the scriptures, to explain God’s perspective about this stuff.

If you’re a fan of Mark Farina’s Mushroom Jazz style, James aka DJ Havcutz lays down a downtempo, lo-fi, jazzy hip hop continuous DJ set for the beats in the back to vibe out to!

Is it awkward talking to you kids about certain things? Do you struggle having meaningful conversations with your kids about deep and serious life issues? Are you comfortable talking to your kids about the Bible, and answering questions they might have about it?

While Brandon aka b.Side provides a smooth blend of Soulful, Minimal, Deep Tech, and French House for the DJ mix in the background. We provide a pastoral perspective through the scriptures that teach us how to be the best parents we can be. While discovering how to make our families a thriving work of ministry that glorifies God!

Can you sing? Can you dance? Are you an athlete? Can you draw? Do you have savvy business sense? Do you have talent?

These are some of the common things we might think of when the word “talent” is brought up. Maybe you think about other talented people. Maybe you consider your own talent or lack of. How about this thought. Is talent merely a God-given thing, or can you develop and improve talent?

Brandon aka b.Side provides a smooth and soulful deep house DJ mix for the beats in the back. While we answer a question about “the Parable of the Talents,” where we discover that common human perception about concepts found in the Bible, are often VERY different.
