Pentecost is one of the important holidays of the Christian calendar. Yet, I don't know that it gets the hype it deserves. Likewise, I wonder if the church is missing some of the life energy that the Spirit brings.

Division is a seemingly accepted part of society at this point. Is it meant to be so, within the Church as well? For some, it is built in as we disparage denominations and non-denomination churches alike. Let alone, talk about politics. Join me as I explore what Ephesians has to highlight about this topic.

.......sigh....In this episode we ponder the Phrase, "Let's Go Brandon"
This phrase became connected to Christianity after such churches as Cornerstone in San Antonio, and other Christian Nationalist churches, started allowing or espousing the phrase. So, in this episode we examine if it has any biblical ground to stand, or if it should be a Christian phrase.

We tend to try and make all things, make sense. We wrap our faith into little bubbles when we try to make it all logical. What we miss, sometimes, is that we tend to reject God in going about it this way.

In this episode we ponder the Phrase, "I'm not perfect, just saved"
This phrase is used often a Christian excuse, pumper sticker and uttered by Christian celebs who have been found doing wrong in some way. Does it have a proper place in our vocab? Does it have a good usage? We'll discus it in this episode.

Our next phrase in our Pondering series, is "If the Lord wills it".
This phrase is used often in specific contexts, I find them usually in my case to be the opposite of uplifting. Some receive or give it in good will, however, it is used a lot in some places. Either way, it misses the mark of the original intended message in scripture.
Scriptures with Blessings: Numbers 6:24-26, 3 John 1:2, 2 Corinthians 9:8

Our next phrase in our Pondering series, is "If the Lord wills it".
This phrase is used often in specific contexts, I find them usually in my case to be the opposite of uplifting. Some receive or give it in good will, however, it is used a lot in some places. Either way, it misses the mark of the original intended message in scripture.
Scriptures: James 4

Another episode from a pondering car ride. In this episode I ponder and reflect on the phrase, "God never changes." This phrase is often used and quoted, but I believe it is not understood well. For that matter, I believe it is used quite inaccurately.

Week #4 of Advent, our topic is Love. Do you feel the love of God, on this last Sunday of advent? Do you feel love towards God? The deeper meanings of advent can be lost in the cultural tidal waves of christmas. In this episode we look at the love, in our relationship with God, around Christmas.

Christians use the word, "hope" a lot. I wonder if it does not mean what we think it means sometimes. I also think that at times, it gives us a way out of things, or it opens us up to not truly believing in something.

In this episode, I am pondering and sharing some raw thoughts around the idea and phraseology of, "Back in my day!" Often Christians will look at ministry, outreach, mission and the like, through the lens of how we've done it before. While this can be a useful tool, it can often get bogged down in idealizing the past, and that can do harm to our discipleship and development as humans, Christians and churches.
