This life is hard. And as men especially, we define ourselves by what we do. We see it all the time, when high status gets lost, the people seem lost with it. If you have ever felt this way, I have to. Hopefully this episode reminds you of your value in work and without it. Let's wrestle through this tough topic together. Join me.

Join James as he dives into muddy waters of leaving a Church, when to pull the plug, what to look for, and what can be sacrificed. He's going through this himself with his own family and shares a raw processing of what he's going through. Finding true authentic community is perhaps the greatest issue we face as Christians... next to intimacy with other men.

Join James as he dives into the implications of the Garden and the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Do we realize how naked we really are as time goes on? Does this cause more retroactive shame? Or worse, future fear? Does it make you a hermit? How do we recover from the realization that it is still not good to be alone?

After a bizarre encounter with a legalistic Christian influencer on X, James was compelled to speak on the damaging nature of this ever prevailing Chrisitian on Christian violence. Should a Proverbs 31 woman stay home and homeschool the kids? Should we even be scolding others on topics like this? Let's get into it.

Join James in this very real struggle to praise christian principals over praising Christ himself. Let's keep the focus on Him, but allow ourselves to rejoices when good triumphs over evil. We can do both!
