  • Is God Actually Just Aliens?
    Having fun thoughts and wild imaginations in our time may bring you to the idea that aliens exist, and maybe they had something to do with human creation? Strap on your binoculars and put on your tin foil hat because today on the Resurgency Podcast I take analyze the alien creation theory and if they even exist in the first place. Logic and reason keep their distance at times as it's hard to see them with my awesome sunglasses to block out UFO bright lights.

  • America Has Been Great
    For the first time that I can remember, it has been harder to find good reasons today to celebrate America during the 4th of July season. I've learned about American history for a good portion of my life, but more so since I've gone to college. After what I have learned so far, I think this is a truly incredible country. It was founded on principles that were ahead of their times, and it was these principles that allowed America to grow and become a leader.
    0:00 Intro/difficult to celebrate America in these times
    5:22 What about America's birth made it special, and how Americans used the system to end their oppression
    16:21 What has separated America from the world
    27:47 America in the context of the world and its global leadership

    References: W.E.B. DuBois "On Our Spiritual Strivings"
    Lysander Spooner "Unconstitutionality of Slavery
    Prince Hall: Petition to the Massachusetts State Legislature

    Disclaimer: I did cut this podcast in half. The ladder half of the podcast was where I discussed what is hurting America right now. I got passionate to a degree I admit. I would really like to push unity, so I found it more appropriate to focus on the greatness of America. If you would like to hear my thoughts on what I think is hurting America, then please feel free to reach out to me.

    As always, if you agree, disagree, or have questions please reach out. I will be glad to discuss your contributions on my podcast.

  • A Case FOR Life & AGAINST Abortion
    I invite anyone who is pro-choice to hear my case for life and against abortion. I first address the discussion of is a preborn child/fetus a human life and does life begin at conception. Then, I refute common abortion arguments. Finally, I show you a side of the abortion industry that the pro-choice side likes to downplay. If you are pro-life, take these arguments to heart and use them when in discussion with pro-choice individuals. If you are pro-choice and disagree, then tell me what I get wrong. Let's have a civil discussion. Here are my sources and extra content:

    https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-government/id1495912702?i=1000471987586
    First, a huge issues in modern day discourse is we have assumed the other side is evil, but I reveal that we actually agree on much more. Second, I talk about the political philosophy laid out in the previous podcast applied to modern day. What happens when we find ourselves in a government that affords us the privilege to vote? Next, I explain the hard place that politics has put Christians in, and I wish it wasn't so.
    0:00 Intro, Shout out to "The Chosen," Jokes about being a disciple of Jesus, and I contemplate growing either a mullet or long hair in this lock-down
    5:51 Beginning of content
    6:45 Each side of political issues actually tend to share the same moral values
    17:15 Political philosophy applied to the situation we find ourselves in
    25:44 Should Christians be tied to one political party?
    29:56 The issue of abortion puts us in a tough spot when it comes to voting

    I would love to hear from you! If you disagree, then let me know. I'd be happy to hear your perspective! Do you have feedback, a question, something you think I should talk about? Let me know! Comment or dm me/tweet at me @resurgencypdcst

  • God & Government
    You've heard the typical Christian view on government usually cited from Romans 13:1-7, but today I want to challenge that simplistic view by looking at what else the Bible has to say about the government; the most prominent example that I refer to may surprise you. I then take this new outlook on government to interpret how we should act in the middle of the government suddenly amassing great power.

    A point of clarification: for the mayor of Chicago said not to go out and get a haircut. She went out to get a haircut. I realize I said just getting a haircut.

    0:00 Intro
    5:13 Comprehensive Biblical view of government
    23:34 This view applied to today and current events
    29:13 Explaining the cruelties of government overreach
    41:07 What does this all mean for us as Christians?

    I want to hear from you! Do you agree? Disagree? Let me know! Maybe you have something you would like me to talk about, have a point of your own, or even a question. Let me know! Comment or tweet at/dm me on twitter @resurgencypdcst

  • Let's Consider How We Move Forward
    The waters of our future are quite murky. Nonetheless, I think as Christians we are called to being a good and loving presence in this world. Being that in times like these may become difficult. I hope that as we go forward we can prepare ourselves for giving up more for the sake of following Christ. I also tell you about some good news going on in the world. Lastly, I rant about how capitalism is much better in times like these rather than socialism, which some don't seem to think.
    0:00 - Intro & Bad Jokes
    7:26 - Being Christians in the world going forward
    30:45 - Good News
    39:42 - American businesses contributing to where the country needs help & how it's better that the businesses do it rather than the government

  • A Word of Peace in the Midst of Chaos
    In the time of the coronavirus, I think the prophet Habakkuk would have a few words to say. Join me as I relate Habakkuk's situation and conversation with God to the crazy times we find ourselves in. Furthermore, even in all of the chaos, there is a peace that Christ gives us that is unlike any other. Join me as I delve into that.

  • The Anti-Social Social Generation
    In his book, "The World Beyond Your Head," Matthew B. Crawford explains the root of how our society ticks and then how we tick is detrimental to us. I flesh out these ideas within a Christian worldview to assess why the younger generations are experiencing more depression, anxiety, and loneliness. There are three major factors to these trends, so tune in to find out. I also discuss whether or not Jesus would vote for Bernie Sanders if He were alive today. I clarify points that i made in the last podcast, and a viewer sheds more light on the subject of episode 3.

    **DISCLAIMER** Facts of trends and statistics were drawn from Crawford's book. ALSO, at around the 34 minute mark I said "It's funny when famous Christians speak on Christianity" I MEANT TO SAY "Non-believers/Atheists."

    I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to comment or tweet at me/dm me @resurgencypdcst on twitter. Do you agree, disagree, or have an unrelated question? Let's discuss!

  • Where Does God's Will Meet Ours?
    Today I try my best to think through the implications of God's attributes with regards to our own will. Do we have free will? If so, how much? Or do we have none at all? It is hard to come down with a definitive answer, but I think we can come away with a general idea. Join me today as we discuss God's will and our will, how Christians should interact with members of the transgender community, and I rant about how to properly eat pizza for 15 minutes.

    I would love to hear from you on these topics. Do you agree? Disagree? Why, or why not? Or maybe you have a question or an idea that you'd like to bring up. I'd like to hear! You can tweet at me or dm me on twitter @resurgencypdcst or comment.

  • Pour Out to the Youth
    Our generation is leaving the church, but it may not be for the reason you think. How can we proactively retain the youth as they enter into adulthood? In this episode, I discuss the trends of the American church (particularly the youth), some suggestions to build up the youth, I clarify my position on evangelism, and I talk about how we become Pharisees and how to prevent it.
