Everyone loves the idea of a perfect marriage...but what do you do when reality hits and you realize every marriage has problems and sometimes things get worse more than they get better! Pastor Los, Wayne and their wives (Lynette & Tiffani) sit down in The Basement and discuss the ups & downs of marriage, seeking God in tough times, forgiveness & so much more in the season 2 finale episode!

As Pastor Los & Wayne look forward to diving even deeper, this episode is an intro for anyone wanting to know more about Reformed Theology. What are the essential beliefs that all Christians should have in common with one another? How should we prioritize primary, secondary, and tertiary doctrines? Bringing along special guest Stract for the ride, they cruise nice and slow as they explore the places where theology meets the thoughts of life!

We talk a lot about "being blessed" and "Gods hand being on our life"; even going as far as saying "we give God all the glory for the good things that happen in our life". But do we really mean it? Similar to the "new year, new me" popular phrase, it only makes sense to break down what being blessed really means and the difference between what the world calls "living your best life now" and what the Bible says about "living your blessed life now". This is one episode that's sure to bless the listener!

We've all heard the phrase "New year, new me". But who really means it when they say it and how many are actually consistent with what this "new me" looks like? Humans are flawed and most times we say we MEAN well...but a lot of the times we don't DO well.

So Pastor Los, Wayne and guest host Kristina chop it up about setting goals and New Years' resolutions, "the last days" and so much more in the first episode of 2020! Don't miss this one...

Spiritual health matters! Following up last week's mental health awareness episode with an even more important one dealing with spiritual health awareness, Pastor Los & Wayne believe mental health and spiritual health impact one another in more ways than most people realize. Living in a society where everyone talks in depth about mental health and superficially about spiritual health...this is a must-listen-to episode!

Pastor Los & Wayne are back with another great response to what's happening in culture. This time with special guest author Garrett Drew Ellis they're discussing the theology, thoughts & life of mental health awareness...as well as Garrett's new book Write Until You Feel Better! Do we have a great need for "Jesus & Therapy" in today's society? How should we receive counseling for out of control emotions, traumatic experiences or struggling with things in everyday life? Listen in & be blessed!

We live in a culture that believes Jesus isn't enough and tells us we need "this", and we also need "that"...but it's never enough! Unfortunately this wordliness and godlessness has reached into certain corners of Christianity and many have been enamored and attracted to this culture we call "Jesus Plus".

In this episode Pastor Los & Wayne dissect the problems with Jesus Plus Culture. And trust me on this: "Disney Plus" aint got nothin on the content they're bringing on this one!

If you've been around long enough you've probably heard the phrase "each one, teach one"...Wayne, Los & special guest Omri Myles discuss the mental dynamics of loving the Lord with all of our mind while also breaking down the value of receiving a higher education and the importance of teaching others. Whether it's preachin, teachin, or reachin the fellas talk about it all in this interesting episode!

How do we help new converts that come to the Church? What are some things can we expect to see from a new believer?? What advice and warnings does the Bible give to Christians concerning those "young in the faith"???

In this episode Pastor Los & Wayne discuss new converts and all the questions that come to mind when this topic comes up. New believers, mature saints, and those struggling with their faith need to check this one out!

Kanye West just released his ninth album Jesus Is King and received a hugely mixed reception, lots of numbers and made a long lasting impact on the music industry, pop culture, Christian audiences, and pretty much any and every news industry you can think of! But what's the big hype about anyway? Isn't this just another ungodly-celebrity-turned-Christian who will most likely go back to his worldly ways in a little while? Is there really something major about proclaiming Jesus is king? For a long time man has obsessed over who is king...but is Jesus the ONE AND ONLY TRUE KING actually worth talking about?? Let's discuss all of this and so much more in this episode of The Basement...where Theology meet the Thoughts of Life!
