What is purity? Is it simply reduced down to mean what I have or haven't done in the bedroom? Join me as I seek to answer this pivotal question by going back to the third book of the Bible, my favorite book of the Old Testament: The Book of Leviticus.

At last, the long-awaited part 2 of the “I Married a Virgin” two-part series. On this episode, I am joined by my wonderful wife to discuss bridal showers, sin within marriage, and the heart of biblical obedience. Enjoy!

In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus makes a groundbreaking claim by saying "If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.” (Luke 9:23) This means that in order to be a follower of Jesus, you must experience a daily death that causes the death of your flesh, and brings forth a “resurrected” life. Before my wife and I got married, we started this exercise of sharing our DDTS (daily die to self) moments. Moments where we had to crucify our fleshly, selfish desires in order to live more like our Savior. So we decided to begin a weekly (hopefully) segment titled DDTS, by sharing how we have become more like Jesus by dying to ourselves daily. Enjoy!

Yes, you read that correctly. It feels only right to open the second season of the Don't Knock It podcast, Husband Thoughts, with describing our "first time" (don't worry, unlike J. Cole, I spare most of the details). To my beautiful wife Karalyn, I love you and thank you for letting me tell our story. To my God, to You be all the glory. I love you.

I have married my best friend, finished my first year of seminary, witnessed the collapse of relationships, and read about a man who saw Jesus as an infant and was able to die with the most joy in his heart (Luke 2). I, too, want to be that man. This season will describe how to be that man. Season 2 comin’ at ya. I love you.

After witnessing several plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, and many other miraculous acts of God, Moses prays something truly remarkable in Exodus 33. This is the first episode of a new podcast segment I titled “A Glimmer of Scripture” in hopes that it shines brightly before you and stirs up your heart as it did mine.

In the third episode of the Don’t Knock It Podcast, I aim to be fully transparent with my kryptonite: pornography and masturbation. In an effort to glorify the God who saved me out of the destructive thoughts & behaviors that have plagued my mind since I was 8 years old, I describe how even just a glimmer of hope in Jesus can revive and restore a childhood heart and mind.

In this episode I share some of the most common objections I have heard since becoming a believer, and attempt to answer and provide (from scripture) a reliable response to those objections. I also expound on the misconception of the Bible being just a set of rules by using the imagery of a mirror as the Law.

In the first episode of the Don’t Knock It podcast, I describe how I acquired the “don’t knock it ‘til you try it” mentality regarding the fundamental Christian ways of thinking and living in contrast to my B.C. ways. I also share the most significant reasons why I dove into learning about Jesus within his Middle Eastern context.
