    Waiting on God or Killing the Text?
    Jan 24 2026
    In a previous episode we carefully studied Psalm 62:1 in its context. In this episode, we go back and review the short sermon that originally sparked that study and ask a simple question: does this message actually explain the text, or does it turn the text into something else?

  • Psalm 62:1: Waiting on God

    Psalm 62:1: Waiting on God
    Jan 24 2026
    Psalm 62:1 is often used as a generic call to patience and trust—but is that what the verse is actually saying? In this episode, we slow down and read Psalm 62:1 in its literary, historical, and covenant context and discover that this is not about waiting for God to fix our personal circumstances, but about David and Israel waiting on God to fulfill His promises.

  • Movie: The Long Walk

    Movie: The Long Walk
    Jan 22 2026
    In this episode, I discuss the 2025 film The Long Walk and why it affected me so deeply. After summarizing the movie and its story, I reflect on how it becomes a powerful picture of life itself—endurance, exhaustion, suffering, and what eventually breaks people. This is not a traditional movie review, but a personal and philosophical meditation on what it means to keep going in a world that slowly wears us down.

  • The Flood Problem

    The Flood Problem
    Jan 22 2026
    In The Flood Problem –we ask why the flood happened and why the standard explanation doesn't actually work. If the flood was meant to deal with human sin, why does sin immediately explode again after it's over? And why does the New Testament connect the flood to imprisoned spirits who were disobedient in Noah's day? By working carefully through Genesis 6, this episode shows that the flood story begins with something far more disturbing than we are usually told—and that the real problem has never been properly addressed.

    What Happened to Fundamentalism Pt 1
    Jan 21 2026
    Using a 1988 sermon as our starting point, this episode asks a disturbing question: what if the sermon itself is part of the problem? Before debating methods or results, we examine how Scripture is being used—and what that reveals about what had already gone wrong inside fundamentalism.
