In today's episode, Pastor Dom is joined by Aaron Scheer, and together they discuss how there is a cost to everything and how we are to count the cost (Luke 14:26-33). Another topic the two discuss is how we are not to get comfortable with this world and its distractions but rather with Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

In this week's episode, I had the opportunity to speak with Pastor David Reece on the topic of civic covenanting. Pastor Reece, who has done extensive work on the topic, discusses the importance of covenant and its role in the founding of the United States. We also look at the role of the civil magistrate and the various ways in which humans have historically tried to justify using force upon each other. Ultimately, the foundation of civil power must be grounded in God and is, by nature, covenantal.

Andrew Rappaport dives deep into the pressing issue of abortion, highlighting the critical role of evangelism in offering hope to women facing this harrowing decision. He and his guest, Brian Ottinger, discuss the transformative work of Love Life, a ministry dedicated to changing hearts and saving lives by providing support to both mothers and fathers who are contemplating abortion. They emphasize the importance of viewing this issue through a gospel-centered lens, encouraging listeners to engage compassionately rather than with anger. Through heartfelt anecdotes and personal testimonies, they explore how Love Life mobilizes churches to create a network of support, fostering an environment where both mothers and their unborn children are cared for and valued. This episode serves as a poignant reminder that the solution to abortion is not merely political, but deeply spiritual, urging the church to take an active role in sharing the message of hope and redemption.

Are Skillet and their version of “O Come O Come Emmanuel” demonic? Some Christians think so—and honestly, we’ve got bigger problems.

In this episode, I talk about why believers often argue over the wrong things, how Christian liberty applies to the music we listen to, and why reverence in a corporate worship service is not the same thing as listening to a song in your truck on the way to work.

This isn’t about defending irreverence or lowering holiness—reverence matters. But so does unity, charity, and keeping the main thing the main thing.

We cover:

• Why Christians fight over secondary issues

• The difference between worship music in church vs personal listening

• How to exercise liberty without causing division

• Why attacking other believers over preference misses the point

In this episode of his “Sanctify Christ as Lord” series, Adam talks about the difference between church people and Christians, while encouraging the listener to be more like a Christian, and less like a “church person.”

If you’ve ever opened the Book of Acts and thought, “What is even happening right now?” — you’re not alone. In this episode, we break down the most confusing parts of Acts with honesty, humor, and real-life stories. From chaotic missionary journeys to Paul’s dramatic conversion to the wild moments of Pentecost, we dig into why this book feels overwhelming—and why it’s also one of the most important books in the Bible.

We also talk discipleship, mentorship, and how the early church navigated culture, conflict, and calling—issues we still deal with today. Dalton joins us to share what it’s like living out his faith in school, how people respond, and why young believers play a bigger role in the church than they realize.

Since it’s Thanksgiving week, we wrap up with what we’re grateful for, how God shapes us through everyday moments (including puppies), and why gratitude is a spiritual practice we desperately need.

If you want a down-to-earth conversation about Acts, faith, and real Christian life—this one’s for you.

Jesus takes sin seriously. He takes it seriously when you cause others to stumble. And He takes it seriously when you stumble. He goes so far to say that it is better to cut off body parts that cause you to stumble. Because sin is serious and hell is a serious place where you will go if you continue to stumble. Do not stumble into hell where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched. Cut off your foot and limp into the arms of Jesus.
