October is Pastor Appreciation Month. At the PT podcast we are going to take the time to address what a pastor really is. What are they supposed to be? Who are they really? Are they just paid spiritual teachers, or something much more? We will discuss the struggles and criticisms that we have with current pastors, and empathize with the struggles that we know they have. It is a very REAL and revealing conversation regarding one of the hardest jobs there is.

All of these things we talk about on this weeks podcast.
To every 1 verse there is in the Bible speaking about homosexuality there are hundreds more dealing with Christians attitudes. What is the disconnect between Homosexuals, LGBTQ+ and Christianity?

In today's world, the word "love" is thrown around. A lot of our definitions come from culture's contextual representation of what they think it is. Oftentimes its based on very flakey and surface emotions, and not foundational and strong decisions. In this weeks podcast, we discuss love and what it actually is BIBLICALLY instead of what our culture says it is. Join the discussion and let us know what you think love is.

Special music by 4-Him, and guest Grae Letsch. Author JoAnna Grace joins the great conversation on a very real issue.
In religious culture, there are a lot of scriptures that deal with women not holding a position of authority in the Bible. Does the Bible teach that leadership is a male centric thing?

Did the church greet me? Do they have a nursery? Do I like the music? Did the pastor feed me?
What is the "Church"? Are we bringing life or are we parasites?

Joined today with special guest author JoAnna Grace, and Special Music by Casting Crowns. You won't want to miss this incredibly poignant topic.
We've all heard the statement "Don't judge me!" Is all judgement bad?

This podcast is CONTROVERSIAL!! PT and the hosting crew, Bald Beauty, The Irishman, and newcomer Alexis, adds commentary to a subject that is often misunderstood and misrepresented in religious circles. What is cussing? Who defines it? Did Jesus cuss? What is taking the Lord's name in vain?
