What do we do when we're not at the top of our game because of disappointment in our lives? Is it OK to be disappointed with God and how do we work that through. In this raw podcast, Pastor Paul walks through his own disappointing week in the 2/20/21 edition of Pastor Paul's Bible Tok which streamed like On YouTube and TikTok.

Why does Paul put together content under the moniker "Pastor Paul, the TikTok Pastor" on the TikTok platform? Because God has something to share with the world. Listen to Paul, a licensed minister and former leader of a church, and Ashley, a two term mayor of Fresno, CA, debrief life, religion and politics in this edition of "Paul & Ashley's Saturday LIVE."

Jesus was not kind to the first century Church - why? Because he saw a religious system that wanted to impose rules upon people in order to accomplish nationalistic/religious goals. Author Paul Swearengin sees this same heretical intertwining of religion and Republican politics alive today and say it is at the heart of many of the problems in our culture. And Paul's novel "Joseph Comes to Town" shares how Jesus would be just as angry today as he was 2000 years ago.

Paul Swearengin is known as "Old Pastor Paul - The TikTok Pastor" as well as serving as the host of our podcast. Enjoy this live book group discussion (pre-Covid) of the point and purpose of this novel.

Jesus was "led into the wilderness by the spirit of God." Why do 'desert moments' happen in our lives? Is there a useful purpose that we're reading about here in the life of Jesus that can be pertinent to our lives today?

Paul reviews the idea in this week's Pastor Paul's Bible Chat as we take a look at Matthew 4 of the Christian New Testament.

Yes, Christians do reach out to the world outside their building, but far too often, it's with the agenda of compelling those they interact with to convert to their Christian interpretation of who Jesus is and to join their religion.

Wouldn't the message be much more powerful without the agenda? Paul & Ashley discuss in their Saturday AM LIVEstream from Feb. 13, 2021. Watch them each Saturday, LIVE on TikTok and YouTube at 10:30am Pacific.

The idea that the Bible is clear simply isn't clear. The Bible is murky on many issues and requires us to dig more deeply to have true understanding, rather than just believing what we've always been told. And it's important to know that true Christians CAN and DO interpret the Bible differently.

In his weekly Bible chat, Paul Swearengin, or "Pastor Paul, the TikTok Pastor," shares ways to read the Bible and determine the "hills we die on" and those we hold loosely.
