Churchosity Podcast: Recent Episodes
Heath Brady
We’re just a couple of "GenXers" trying to give our perspective on Church culture. This podcast is dedicated to the GenX Christians: The ones who just want to keep it simple. The ones who just want to live quiet, peaceable lives. We represent the generation of Christians who sometimes looks at what others are doing and thinks: “Whatever.”
We're back! And we're ready to begin our conversation about the armor of God! Like many of us, we were victims of our Sunday School coloring books which didn't really do that great of a job expressing the realness of the Christian's struggle against the evil of the world.
In this episode, we begin unveiling just how imperative the Apostle Paul was in his instructions to the Ephesian church to "...put on the full armor of God!" While we have nothing to fear (because God is for us), we need to be prepared for the wiles of the devil as he attempts to render The Church ineffective...especially in 2024.

Sunday, May 19th, 2024 was Pentecost Sunday on our Church calendars. So, we wanted to have a candid conversation about the many "layers" of the day that birth the Apostolic Church.
Listen as we have a lot of fun looking at how this epic day unfolded, its backstory, and its primary prerequisite for occurring. We pray this episode edifies and encourages you to remember that He that is in YOU is greater than he that is in the world. That "He" is the Holy Spirit! AMEN!

It is so common in today's culture to bash our parents and make the definitive decision that we are NOT going to be parents like them. But have we actually taken an inventory of who we really are? It may shock us to see just how like our parents we really are!
In this episode, we're thanking our parents for the ways the unknowingly trained us up the way we were meant to go and acknowledging the good they have done for us. Let the lesson of this conversation sink in: there's a LOT our parents got right!

We have all probably read, recited, and quoted the answer to: "What is the greatest commandment?" But what is the context of the question, and what does the answer actually look like? The truth may shock us a bit.
In this episode we're looking at love; our only chance at loving comes from the fact that God loved us first! Listen as we discuss the commandment to love God and others.

We love our "Epic Tales" don't we? All the time we spend watching, reading, and listening to them, and all the "bonus features" as well...Do we forget the most epic story ever given to us might be collecting dust on our coffee tables?
In this episode we're "riffing" on the realization of the Gospel, God's plan to redeem His people, is the most epic story of all time...even more epic than The Lord of the Rings!

It's a Riff Episode!!!
Wouldn't it be amazing if, within church culture, we could set aside our disputes and differences and make Christ and His Gospel all that truly matters? We think so! Listen as we have a little bit of fun, and some serious conversation, regarding the things that divide us in the Church. In this episode we clearly demonstrate how to not take ourselves so seriously.

The letter to the church of Laodicea...our Lord's final letter to His churches in Asia Minor at the end of the first century. Their report card was not that great. Yet, He still has love and grace for His beloved Church! Listen as we look at the overall condition and history of Laodicea and the church, and see its provocative mirroring of church culture today. In this episode we all are challenged to ask the question: "Have I opened the door?"

Listen as we are faced with the battle between Christian labels verses Christ alone, between being visited by a thief in the night and welcoming the long-awaited Savior. This is Heath's favorite letter of the seven. Listen to discover why!

Prayer, corporate worship, and digging into the Scriptures are three major components to cultivating a healthy and intimate Christian remarriage. But how do we get there from our place of insecurity and doubt?
Listen as we discuss some suggestions on how to be better equipped for growing our Christian relationships by the work of the Holy Spirit through forgiveness, grace, and one day at a time. We are very excited for the renewed hope this episode can bring!

Effective communication is the cornerstone of any successful marriage. In Ephesians 4:15, the Bible encourages us to "speak the truth in love." Honest and open communication, coupled with love and respect, is vital for addressing issues and building trust. Regularly discussing feelings, concerns, and expectations fosters a deeper connection between partners.
Listen as we speak from our own personal experiences, giving our listeners some tools and counsel, and encouraging remarried couples to keep on doing the work!

BONUS EPISODE - A letter to the church of Pergamum. In this episode we look at this church, and the historical Church's record, which has evidence of unfaithfulness to Christ. The good news is, there were only SOME guilty of our Lord's rebuke. The bad news is, the price was apparently too high for them to repent; their lampstand has been removed. What can we learn from this church? Listen and find out!

Christian remarriage is a journey filled with hope and redemption, as couples embark on a new chapter in their lives guided by faith. Establishing a strong foundation is crucial for a successful remarriage, and incorporating biblical principles can provide invaluable guidance.
In this episode, we're talking about forgiveness and grace: two crucial components of a long-lasting relationship. Listen as we look at Scripture, share examples of what they do and don't look like, and articulate how beautiful remarriage can be when grounded in Christ.

It's the beginning of probably the most serious conversation we've ever had on the podcast, and one that's been a long time coming. We open with some rather transparent opinions, level off by sharing five key points we'll be covering in this series, and land happily with a remarkable word of promise: Jesus Christ loves YOU!
Whether you have been divorced and remarried, are about to be remarried, or know someone who is experiencing either of these, we encourage you to listen and find hope. The past is the past, and as long as you are breathing, Christ has purpose for you.

BONUS EPISODE - A letter to the church of Ephesus. This is the first of seven specific churches that Jesus wanted to send His report card to. While there's so much to learn from their origin, history, and destiny, let's look closer at what we do good and where we fall short. Have we left our first love?

We're thinking three dimensionally here, but strongly encouraging our Christian community to rally around those who are grieving. Comfort from brothers and sisters in Christ helps propel us from Grief to Health.

What does it look like? Is it okay to grieve? Should Christians normalize Grief? These are just some of the topics we cover here...and we're not holding back!

How should we respond when other Christians treat us poorly? Is there a remedy for mending damaged relationships with others? All of this and more...we're going to get serious!

All this talk about planting seeds...what about the ones we plant in our own lives? How much or how often do we really take a hard look at the value (or lack) of what we let in? In this episode, we're all getting a real gut check. Listen as we discuss the ripple effects of letting the Word of God penetrate us and lead us.

We are ALL "Seed Planters" and it's just a fact we need to face. So much that we feel the need to deep a little deeper into the subject of seeds, plants, and fruit. In this episode, we're continuing the conversation by looking at John 15 and Matthew 13, discussing what makes or breaks us in the seed planting mission. Don't let the enemy render us ineffective! Let God prune us DAILY!

We are all "Seed-casters." Every single one of us. So we're having a serious conversation about which seeds we're casting; good or bad.
Listen as we discuss The Golden Rule, discipleship, and all of the "errands" God sends our way. It's time to roll up our sleeves, get real, and authentically evaluate just how much we are BEING the Church. Grab your pen and pad, you'll wanna take notes.

Happy New Year!!!
It's a new year, and a new season! We're kickin' things off aggressively by way of a cliche "New Year, New You" format. In this episode we get rather transparent about the ways we want to do life in 2024. Listen as we discuss focusing outward, prioritizing relationships and stewardship, and just not allowing ourselves to be rendered ineffective.

In this episode, we're wrapping up our series on the Fruit of the Spirit: Self-Control. As we come to the end of this conversation, we want to challenge Christians to remember the work of salvation that Christ has done on the inside and see the fruit that we demonstrate on the outside.
Listen as we laugh about hanging out at the mall, chew on some theology from Paul and Peter, and discover some amazing truths about sanctification. This one was really fun!

Faithfulness and Goodness...not the easiest behaviors to habitually practice, are they? We get it. That's why we're here to dive into them headfirst with you. Listen as we discuss where faithfuness and goodness come from, how they are cultivated, and what sort of ripple effects are brought about from them.
The Fruit of the Spirit is all about Christ living THROUGH us and the greatest demonstration of HIS righteousness being put on display is these two fruits. Join us while we laugh at ourselves, and yet, talk very seriously about the leading of the Spirit encompassing the whole life of a Christian.

What do the movie "Roadhouse" and the Fruit of the Spirit have in common? Believe it or not, an awful lot! Join us for this candid but deep conversation about Kindness and Goodness.
Listen as Heath and Andrea discuss the differences between trying to be nice to everyone and authentically perfecting being King ad Good to others. While we crack a lot of jokes, and get a little preachy, this is one you'll definitely learn from!

Do you pray for patience? Or rather, is God allowing opportunities for patience to develop in your life? Well, we're about to have a rather candid conversation about the subject and we think you'll love this one!
As we continue our series on the Fruit of the Spirit, listen as we dive into the subject of long suffering. We'll laugh, and try to be lighthearted about the matter, but we believe this is something that rarely gets thoroughly unpacked. So we're doing it for you. Enjoy!

After a long (and much needed) hiatus...Heath and Andrea are BACK!
We pick up our conversation about the Fruit of the Spirit. In this episode, we discuss joy. What is it? Or rather, what is it NOT? How can we experience joy, especially when life gets hard? Is there a difference between joy and happiness?
Listen as we attempt to answer these questions, and take a hard look at what our real source of joy looks like. Grab your pads and pens...you don't want to miss this one!

We're continuing our conversation about the Fruit of the Sprit and we are going hard on the topic of love. Specifically, what is the difference between the biblical "agape" love, and what the human, worldly understanding of love is?
What are the evidences of love? What does it mean to be led by the Spirit? Comparing love to the deeds of the flesh, as defined in Galatians 5, we want Christians to take a hard look at how we truly treat one another in the Church.

It' a new series! We're talking about the Fruit of the Spirit and we've been waiting a long time for this one!
As an introduction to this series, we open up the conversation by discussing two questions:
1. What has Christ brought us out of?
2. What has Christ brought us to?
In typical fashion, we combine humor and candor while we start cutting to the core of what it looks like to practically live out our Christian lives everyday. We think you're really going to like this one!

When the Spirit of God moves, what do we do? Continuing our discussion about Revival, we're really driving home the importance of being in action and serving in our local churches.
Using our brief review of the movie, "Jesus Revolution," we've got a lot to say about the ripple effects of just simply being obedient and faithful where we're at. Listen as we talk about being Christ's witnesses, discipling the next generation, and realizing the power we have in Christ.

What is keeping us from being in action when the Spirit of God is moving in our churches? Why are so many of us wishing for ministries to grow, but unwilling or unable to be part of them?
We're continuing our conversation about Revival! In this episode, we want to challenge ourselves to stop being afraid and start doing something for the Kingdom. Listen as we discuss the need for more workers, plead for more help in youth and children's ministry, and call out for Christians to be more about others.

It's a riff episode!
We're talking about Revival! "Sparked" by the Asbury Revival, we wanted to have an honest and candid conversation about what has taken place on the campus of Asbury College and Theological Seminary. Is that what "Revival" looks like? Is this the "Spark" of something God is doing in America?
Listen as we discuss how we can bring the brevity of this massive move of the Holy Spirit in one place to the context of our local churches and communities. We know that we're barely scratching the surface here. But let's begin taking a look at what a move of God could look like in each of us, and how that shifts outwardly.
We believe that the Church needs to be central to the life a believer. Is church just something you check off as a weekly thing to do? Or should it be something more? Hear what we have to say about that and so much more.

Are you ready to have some fun digging into the Scriptures? We sure are...and we have a LOT of it on this episode!
How far do you think God is willing to go in order to get a message across to us? Is there a consistent theme throughout all of Scripture? In this episode, we do our best to answer these two questions, and we have a few good laughs along the way.
Listen as we dive into the middle of the story of Abraham, cover lots of Scripture, and through the use of some provocative typology, discover what may actually be a hidden message to the people of God. Bring your Bibles (or your favorite Bible apps) and prepare to be dumbfounded by God's Word and its amazing treasures.

We're wrapping up our series on Confession & Forgiveness, and we're going out with a real banger here. The time has come to really lay it all on the line about how serious God is about His people forgiving each other.
Listen as we discuss Christ's direct involvement in the reconciliation process, how we need to change our perspective about forgiveness, and why those resenting or leaving the church need us to flip the deconstruction culture upside down.
We love the people of God so much and our desire is to demonstrate Christ's love through all we say and do. But, if you thought we already traveled into the thick of it...be ready; it's about to get thicker.

Forgive and forget. That's what we hear over and over again...it's what we're supposed to do, right? But how many times? How often? What if the person who's offended us never apologizes? What if they never knew they offended us? We try to tackle these thoughts, and many more, in this episode.
As we continue our conversation about Confession and Forgiveness, listen as we deep dive into the heart of reconciliation, and talk about some points that probably aren't too popular in church culture. Do people owe us an apology? Are there conditions to forgiveness? You'll hear us do the best we can to challenge Christians to be just as forgiving as God has been with us.

We're continuing our conversation about Confession and Forgiveness, and how they work together. In this second installment, we're asking the question: how important is reconciliation? How much does God make it a priority? I think the answers will astonish us!
Listen as we dissect the differences between what our human nature tells us to do, and what God's Word instructs us to do, when it comes to resolving conflict with others. When the Holy Spirit reveals the true condition of our hearts, we are faced with some really tough choices. Strap yourselves in and hold on tight...things are about to get real!

Confession & Forgiveness: How do they work together?
We're opening up a serious discussion about an area of the Christian faith that is widely misunderstood and highly overlooked. Although Christ has paid our penalty for sin, and we are saved, Scripture clearly tells us that we still must confess our sins to God...and to each other.
In this first episode of the conversation, we're talking about Confession. What is it? Why do we need it? How do we do it? What are the benefits? We think what we have to say on the matter...just might surprise you.

Are you feeling fantastical???
The holidays can be tough for a lot of people. And we're smart enough to realize that it isn't always easy to feel "fantastical" around this time because so many of us are just simply, going through it. We want to give you some assurance that we get it. But we also want to challenge everyone to shift the perspective to what is still good in our lives.
In this episode, we're talking about the new year and how we can step outside our comfort zones to try something new...even if it is just to find ways to be grateful for how God has blessed us. Listen as we discuss how our problems and trials bring about strengthened character, and lead to a place where we lack nothing when it comes to how we yield to the leading of the Holy Spirit in every area of our lives.
That's where the magic happens.

In this episode, we're focusing on building community with our families and friends, by learning what it means to be present in the moment. Listen as we discuss how precious it is to sit and experience God's grace, and find the means to be at peace with others.
We're talking about some really thick stuff in this first part of the blue Christmas conversation. But we encourage all of you to strap in, pay attention, and hear the love in what we're saying. Don't spend another holiday season on the outs with somebody.

Why is it so crucial to be in community with other Christians? We're wrapping up our series on healing from Spiritual Abuse and Church Hurt, and we have some rather challenging things to say.
Listen as we discuss the necessity of returning to fellowship with other believers. In this episode, while trying to keep it light, we're talking about the blessings of coming out of hiding, and the curses of remaining a "Lone Sheep" Christian.
We are so grateful you stuck with us through this series, and we want to reiterate how much we appreciate your need for space. But we also want you to know beyond a shadow of doubt that God created you for community, and that in that community you will find healing and a sense of belonging.

As we near the end of our series on healing from Church Hurt and Spiritual Abuse, we wanted to discuss how important it is to begin serving again within your local church body. Believe it or not, after you have re-inserted yourself into a new church context, it will seem like you cannot resist the pull of wanting to serve your brothers and sisters in Christ.
Listen as we talk rather candidly about how serving in our local churches is not just about what we need to feel safe and part of a family of believers but also for blessing those whom we serve. God gave each one of us gifts for us to use in His church. Stop resisting, and start using them.

How important is it for Christians go to church? And not just any church…but a healthy church. In this episode we’re presenting the challenge that we need our local body of believers around us, because we ALL live under grace.
As we continue our discussion about healing from Church Hurt & Spiritual Abuse, listen as we tell more of our story, of how God showed up BIG time for us, and used some crazy methods that would assist us with our own healing process.

Why is it so important to spend time in the Scriptures?
As we continue the conversation about healing from Spiritual Abuse, we want everyone to understand just how important it is to fill our minds with the Word of God. In this episode, we discuss how tough it can be to return to the Bible after it has been used to inflict pain and suffering on us.
Listen as we share some of our own reluctancy when going through our situation, as well as just some of our favorite potions of Scripture that reminded us of God's faithfulness. Through the example of David, we want everyone to know that God is a Man of His Word!

We're revealing a little bit more of our story of healing from our Spiritual Abuse on this episode. Through our example, we convey the reality that it can take a long time to realize we might be stopped in our abusive situation because of our hope that it will get better. Sometimes it never will, and that's when God comes through and moves us to action.
Listen as we share more details of the steps we took to get away from our abusers, the enormous amount of faith we employed, and how we can look back today and see God's fingerprints on all of it.
More than anything, we want you to be encouraged by our story, and hear how it has strengthened our faith forever.

The time has come for us to re-visit the subjects of Spiritual Abuse and Church Hurt.
In this episode, we introduce the new series by beginning the conversation about healing and what it could begin to look like. We're taking a trip back to two years ago when we began putting the plan together for action within our abusive situation.
Listen as we are transparent about our struggles to move forward, how the Lord had to smack us between the eyes and show us what to do, and just a couple of the areas we know healing still needs to happen. This is a very honest episode and one we are sure will cause you to want to hear more about the process of recovering from Spiritual Abuse.
One things is certain: we are definitely "Alone No More!"

Legalism. Fundamentalism. Elitism. There is no place for these in the local church. In this episode we tackle a rather sore subject for us regrading Christians who impose their personal convictions upon the Church.
Listen as we address a hot take that we came across and how it is an example of what not to do when the Holy Spirit is working on you and your walk with Jesus. Andrea recalls some biblical wisdom she received when she was young, and Heath get a little fired up about some things he loves. Enjoy!

We're back! After a long hiatus, we return for Season 04!
There's so much going on around us right now, and it seems like people just can't seem to avoid picking fights with each other. Is this type of conduct becoming of a Christian? Listen as we try to talk some sense into the people of God about how we should be treating one another.
From the biblical perspective, listen as we plead with The Church to do everything possible to be at peace with each other. We guarantee this episode will make most of our listeners feel a little uncomfortable.

In this episode we're trying to answer the question that centuries of Christians have wrestled with: "How do I figure out what God's will is for my life?" It's one thing to try and come up with an answer, but it's an entirely different challenge to apply that answer to practical, daily living as a follower of Jesus.
With lots of Scriptures to back up their views, laced with a little humor and some low-key preaching, listen as we try to make it easier to know how God wants us to live into our Christian faith.

"Your opinion is the only one that matters."
Have you ever heard this, or some version of it, or maybe even believe or say it yourself? Listen to a brief but in-your-face conversation about whether or not following your heart is a good thing.
Heath and Andrea go to the Scriptures to tackle the cultural norm that tells us we should have whatever we want, and everyone should agree with us, simply because we say so. Hear some frank but somewhat comical dialogue, where we discuss just some of the distinct differences between what the world says and what the Bible says, sprinkled with some Stranger Things references.

We are digging a little deeper in this "Faith Journey" conversation and talking about something that both Heath and Andrea are very passionate about: College Ministry. In this episode, listen to both of them share their desire for the young adults in the Church to be served and be thoroughly equipped to serve the body of believers.
From their own experiences, perspectives, and goals, Heath and Andrea will make all of us want to come alongside the high school graduates in our churches. Newsflash: they're adults now!

It's the second installment of personal faith journey stories! In this episode, Heath shares his testimony and invites you into his roller coaster ride with Jesus, and shows all of us how God can transform a broken man into an instrument for the Kingdom.
Listen as he shares his honest and revealing story in a way that reminds Christians that God is always drawing us to His Son. From his salvation and baptism at fourteen, wrestling with bitterness, and feelings of abandonment, Heath reveals how Jesus never left him hanging. And...shares how he wants the remainder of his life to go.

We're digging really deep in Part 3 of our conversation about systemic racism and white privilege. On this episode we take a long look at what we think is the biblical perspective on this conversation.
As we complete this series, we want everyone in the Church to begin weighing our opinions, perspectives, and worldviews against how God's Word tells us to live and serve one another. Listen as we drive home the point of doing nothing from selfishness, and many of you will be pleasantly surprised at both Heath and Andrea getting a little "preachy" along the way.

We're digging a little deeper in Part 2 of our conversation about systemic racism and white privilege. In this episode, we want everyone to take a hard look in the mirror at ourselves. We'll talk about how we think the Church could be leading the charge of cultural reform and confront a handful of areas where evangelical Christianity has contributed to the polarization on these issues.
Listen as Heath and Andrea discuss examples of systemic racism and white privilege, expose a few ways America has stacked the cards in favor of white people, and the risk of virtue signaling. Hold onto your seats, and get ready for us to dig even deeper and cut harder by looking at the biblical perspective on these things on the next episode.

This series will cover Heath's and Andrea's own wrestlings with systemic racism and white privilege, how The Church could be leading the charge to bring about cultural reform, and we'll end with answering some tough questions from the biblical standpoint.
Today, you'll hear Heath share stories about his heritage and his "Saul on the road to Damascus" moment. You'll also hear Andrea talk about the moment she saw her privilege for the first time. Listen as we begin to deep dive into the divide over culture war and Christianity, and get ready for Heath and Andrea to make us all take a hard look in the mirror in the next episode.

Have you ever wondered who the Kingdom of God belongs to? In this episode, we'll discuss who Jesus says are the people fit for His Kingdom. Heath and Andrea talk about how we rebuke children from coming to Christ by the weighty things we add to their lives. WARNING...it's about to get very real.
With the help of the Bourne movie franchise, listen as we discuss how the innocence of a child's heart is the perfect example of those who are worthy for Christ's Kingdom. Heath gets passionate, Andrea brings the heat, and you may want to have a box of tissues handy. This one is a doozy.

Why do we bicker over who is the better Christian? Why do we create extra "hoops" that must be jumped through in order to remain "saved?" Listen as we discuss the strife and division caused by re-applying The Law (or modern day versions of it) to the simplicity of The Gospel.
On the episode, Andrea and Heath talk about the church of Galatia and how they were so quick to return to "works-oriented" Christianity. From the movie "Stand By Me," to the mission field, to felling like the "lesser" Christian, hear the frustration over the church's creation of "red tape" Christianity.

One of the greatest hurdles we face in the Church is biblical illiteracy. There are far too many Christians who, for whatever reason, simply do no know their Bibles very well. On this episode we discuss, the necessity for being in the word, and some basic and practical starting points for beginning a simple study of the Scriptures.
Listen as Heath and Andrea discuss binge-watching "Lost", and many misappropriated Bible verses, all with the mission of expressing the dire importance of knowing God. We really hammer away at discipleship and Heath gets a little bit intense about his Seattle Seahawks.

With topics ranging from Disneyworld, to riding ECV's, listen as we talk about how the Church could do better at showing gratitude. Warning: we both get a little emotional and preachy on this episode.

How difficult is it to show kindness to others...especially when we think they don't deserve it? Is there a higher calling for us in relationships with others when it comes to being kind to each other? What does Scripture have to say about this?
In this episode we discuss what kindness actually looks like from God's vantage point. Listen as we discuss some of Heath's childhood, the "deeds of the flesh," and even use the movie "Roadhouse" as a frame of reference. This one is definitely an episode you don't want to miss!

On this episode we introduce a new segment coming to Churchosity: "This week's proof we're living in the Last Days." Listen as we discuss with humor, seriousness, and satire, ways that we think the Lord's return is more imminent than we think.
Follow along as we discuss movies, cultural events, and even a little bit of politics, all with the intent of bringing hope that we could possibly be close to Jesus coming back!

"Those that dwell upon the earth..." is a phrase used in Scripture to define those who's priority it is to make this world their home. On this episode, Heath and Andrea discuss the craziness of fighting to improve the conditions of living in this world.
Why are we so bent on setting our hearts on things in this world? Listen as we try to wake Christians up from their slumber to set their minds on things waiting in eternity.

On this episode we discuss something very near and dear to Heath's heart: Contemporary Christian Music. Listen as we get all nostalgic about 80's music while lamenting the Christian music "industry" and their attempt to be like the world.
Even though we poke fun and confront many things about the subject, we do find some redeeming qualities (and artists) from our experience. All-in-all we hope to shed some light on the subject, while remembering we can't take ourselves too seriously.

When we are not persons of our word, how does that affect our relationships? On this episode, we're talking about Integrity. Believe it or not...it's a lot more than just telling the truth.
Listen as Heath and Andrea look back on how the movies and television depicted integrity and approved of dishonesty. Follow along as they discuss why Virtue is necessary to the life of the Christian.

What is it about celebrities that makes us want to chase after them? What makes us want to be like them? What's scary is that in the Church there are people who want to have a celebrity platform and are no more than a blight on the glory of God.
Listen as Heath and Andrea discuss the famous people they've met, the one's they'd love to meet, and why it is so dangerous for the church's overseers to pursue fame. Here is your rare opportunity to hear both Heath and Andrea get a little preachy.
Warning: we do a LOT of name-dropping here!

The children of GenZ have been in a "funk" for a very long time. You know what we're talking about: something is always the matter, but, they just can't seem to actually tell us what is wrong. Listen as we try to put on our thinking caps and come up with theories.
Follow Heath and Andrea as they discuss The Breakfast Club, LOST, and the Twilight franchise, and see if you can catch the extremely rare occasion where they disagree! Hold on tight, Spidermonkey...you just bought yourself two more weeks of detention.

In this episode, we get a little serious at times, discussing the possibility of never becoming grandparents. Andrea shares her honest question: Why are millennials not getting married or having children?
Here us have some fun talking about The Matrix, Star Trek, and helicopter parenting. Infused with some candid moments, and some lighthearted humor, listen as we discuss the downward trend of newborns and how it's having long-term effects on The Church.

Heath and Andrea are BACK!
After a brief hiatus...we're back for a new season of Churchosity! Listen as we talk about the slight shift in direction with our content, the dominance of COVID in our daily lives, and how the sitcoms and movies from our childhood could NOT stand the test of time.

BONUS EPISODE
The Bible is the infallible, completely sufficient, final authority on everything, Word of God. So why do so few Christians actually take the time to read and study the Scriptures? Opening it up and staring down at 66 books written by over 40 authors can be intimidating.
Listen as Heath walks through a very practical and basic example of how to read, study, and apply the Scriptures.

There is no prescription or permission contained within Scripture, especially from the words of Jesus, allowing for the prioritizing of ourselves. This is the very manifestation of what the world considers “Self Love.”
In this episode, Andrea returns to discuss "Cancel Culture" with Heath. Listen as they challenge the status quo of self-love, talk candidly about the parable of the Prodigal Son, and remind us how we are supposed to prioritize ourselves: deny yourself, take up your cross, and consider others greater than ourselves.
James 4:4 “You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”
NEW SERIES
"The Hypocrisy of Cancel Culture"
Cancel Culture: When someone gets shunned or tossed out or “cancelled” by someone else because they have allegedly behaved or spoken in a manner that is contrary to the person doing the cancelling.
It's almost like the world is granting you the right to cancel:
- Someone who disagrees with you
- Someone who sticks up for themselves
- Someone who raises their voice to you
- Someone who fits into a certain people group or demographic
Heath is flying solo on this episode. Listen as he introduces this series by discussing how this culture is very much alive and kicking in the Church. One thing that especially seems to mirror the world’s standard of judging others is how we in the Church seem to almost be chomping at the bit to find something wrong with another person so we can cancel them.
Colossians 3:12-13 “So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.”

Listen as Heath and Andrea answer a listener-generated question: "What is the Christian perspective on the vaccination?"
From the vaccinations vs. horse de-worming treatments, and church-folks having to secretly get vaccinated so people at their churches don't know, hear an honest conversation that tries to stress how this world is not our real home. We are are just pilgrims passing through.

In this episode we have a very tough conversation about Purity Culture. What is it? Where did it come from? How did the Church of Jesus Christ become so sexist?
Listen as Heath and Andrea attempt to have a balanced discussion about the responsibility that BOTH men and women have for their OWN purity and how Scripture is very clear that we ALL are to flee sexually immorality. This is a conversation that has been a VERY long time coming.
WARNING*
We discuss some mature themes in this episode, but we keep it strictly "PG" for the respect of the younger listeners.

WE'RE BACK! After a few weeks off, Heath and Andrea return for another energy-packed episode, talking about Sensationalism and how it threatens the Church.
Listen as they discuss the final two areas of Sensationalism: Typology and Dispensational Eschatology. With a little bit of humor, and a whole lot of love and care, hear the sincerity in their voices as they remind all of us to keep fighting the good fight of our faith.

Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? Why do the faithful saints of God experience pain and suffering? Has the 21st-century Church become so comfortable with their freedom to practice their religion to not understand why strain and stress exist?

Sensationalism...what is it?
- The use of sensational subject matter, usually intentionally controversial, exaggerated or attention-grabbing
- The use of strongly emotional subject matter, or wildly dramatic style, language or artistic expression, that is intended to shock, startle, thrill, excite, etc.
In this episode we discuss three more areas of sensationalism: Polarization of People Groups, Fear Culture, and Christian Nationalism. Listen as we really talk about some of "the tough stuff" coming against The Church and, while trying to keep it light, Heath has a strong message for a certain group of people.
2 Tim 2:16-18: “But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, men who have gone astray from the truth saying the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the faith of some.”

Part of Satan’s scheme against The Church is to falsify and counterfeit Christianity to the masses...especially to those within The Church! He loves to take scripture and TWIST it.
As we continue our discussion about "Sensationalism" (the biggest fear we have for The Church) we unpack the "U" of the CPU, and talk about two other ways the Church can become easy prey to the wiles of culture.
Listen as Heath shares his epiphany of his faith, Andrea attempts to impersonate Larry King, and they both have some fun using Scripture to counter the efforts of non-biblical faiths.

There is a growing demand for pastors, preachers and teachers to focus on sensational messages like we are craving stimulation rather than motivation. Seeking our next “mountain top” experience, this is what feeds our so-called "Christianity" because it’s an event, an experience, a thrill...people want “entertainers” as pastors and “church” is a show and an experience.
We continue our series on sensationalism, taking a look at what Heath calls the "CPU of Sensationalism" (and no...it doesn't mean Central Processing Unit). Listen as we begin to dive into examples of what we feel is the greatest threat to The Church.

IT'S A BRAND NEW SERIES WITH A BRAND NEW CO-HOST!
We begin our new series about Sensationalism. What is Sensationalism? What does it look like? How does it affect our walk with Jesus and sanctification process?
Andrea permanently becomes the co-host and chats with Heath about what his biggest fear is for The Church. Listen as they discuss satirical tabloids and sitcoms from "back in the day," how preachers intentionally exaggerate things when they preach, and the early years of Heath's Christian journey.

As we conclude our series on Spiritual Abuse, we continue our conversation where we ask the question: How do we heal from this?
Listen as Heath and Andrea discuss the temptation to isolate with a "blanky" and a cup of tea, the joy of participating in the "encouragement of others," and what they believe are the final two essential steps toward recovery and healing from Spiritual Abuse:
- Find a healthy church
- Start serving again in the church

Continuing our conversation about spiritual abuse we dive into the topic of "Church Hurt" with our good friend Josh Lofthus, co-host of "The Reformatory" podcast.
There comes a point when the abuse has gone on for so long, and the pain is too unbearable, that the only option is to leave your church; when Jesus becomes literally all you have because the healing won’t happen at your church.
What is “Church Hurt?” This is the damage that has been caused by the abuse, the wounds that have been inflicted by the abuser, and the pain and suffering the victim will experience while trying to heal. Spiritual abuse is the hardest form of abuse to heal from, and counsel, because the thing that brings the healing (Scripture/Gospel/Church) is the same thing that brought the hurt.

Continuing our series on Spiritual Abuse, listen as we discuss why we think it gets prolonged, and ask tough questions like: "Why is this the norm?" and “Why is no one talking about this stuff?”
Heath and Andrea joke about the "Gobbly-gook" Christians argue about on social media, reflect on a humorous mishap on the Greeting Team, and get tough on leaders who "guilt" spiritual abuse victims back to church.

When someone in the Church uses their theological, doctrinal or spiritual beliefs as a means to hurt another person of the faith, whether intentionally or not, that is Spiritual Abuse. Usually, this is a person of authority or influence in the Church, or in the life of the victim.
In this episode I discuss the affects of religious movements, cults and organizations that operate from the vantage points of guilt, compulsion and brainwashing. My wife, "The Mrs. Theological Coordinator," Andrea joins me again as we share more stories from our churches past, joke about seminars, and challenge church leaders to take proper care of Christ's bride.
Spiritual Abuse is when someone in the Church uses their beliefs as a means to hurt another person of the faith. Usually, this is a person of authority or influence in the Church. Sitting under abusive leaders for long periods of time can kill the desire to be in church.
My wife Andrea is back with me again to discuss four different types of church leadership that are spiritually abusive. Trigger Warning: one of them is misogynistic leadership.
Listen as we share testimonies, divulge the laughable mandates placed by leaders, while attempting to provide a means to begin the healing process for victims of spiritual abuse.
New brand, new season, new series! Welcome to "The Churchosity Podcast!
We kick off the new season with a new series discussing the topic of spiritual abuse. Listen as Heath is joined by his amazing wife and they talk about the overview of the series.
Subjects ranging from legalistic and narcissistic leadership to guilting churchgoers into giving money, hear the goal of exposing various forms of spiritual abuse, calling for abusers to repent, and inviting victims to heal.
There is no such thing as the perfect church, or a perfect Christian, as the Church is a collection of imperfect people. But it is completely safe to say that Jesus blesses His people for being faithful to Him.
In this final episode of the series, and of the "Real Talk" show, we discuss the promises Christ gives to His people for having the endurance and anticipation for His return.
Heath also gives some final words of inspiration and bids "Farewell" to the show!
We gives our lives to Jesus Christ because we know we need Him. What happens when we become comfortable and complacent in our walk?
On this episode, we look at the church of Laodicea and discuss how Jesus feels about people and churches who bear His name while electing to rule their own lives. Listen as we talk about how much culture has influenced the Church and how disgusted Jesus gets when Christians decide they want to call the shots.
What happens when a church, or when a Christian, becomes too sure of themselves?
On this episode, we'll discuss the church of Sardis and unpack the life of a believer who is not actively anticipating Christ's return...or living like it. Listen as we discuss the consequences of seeking the world's acceptance, not being vigilant or diligent in your walk, and how the Lord always chooses His remnant to do his greatest work in history.
What happens when Christians begin to tolerate sin? What's the dilemma?
On this episode we take a look at the church of Thyatira and dig really deep into the culture of tolerance in Christianity. While Jesus calls us to be holy, set apart and pure, so many Christians have cracked under the pressure to tolerate sin.
Listen as we discuss how Christ deals with those who would choose to be unfaithful to Him, Heath gets a little fired up about "Cancel Culture," and we have a BIG announcement!!!
What happens to the Church when the pagan world becomes increasingly hostile towards her? One response that seems far too common in our culture today is that she compromises to draw better attention.
In this episode, we take a look at the church of Pergamum; the church who married the world. Listen as we discuss the Church's unfaithfulness to her Bridegroom, the relentless attacks of the pagan world culture upon her, and what Christ promises to the ones who overcome.
Have you ever attended a church that seemed to be so doctrinally on fire but emotionally cold? Have you ever become a member of a biblically solid church only to find out later there was no love within the ranks?
On this episode we take a look at the church of Ephesus: the church who "lost their first love." We'll discuss legalism, fundamentalism, and why a church without love is a blight on the mission and destiny of The Church.
Is the Church dead? Is she still necessary? Is she still relevant?
In this episode we take a look at the church of Smyrna, who thought they were dead and yet, Christ reveals their true condition: they are very much alive! We then ask how this church speaks to the current state of the Church, especially at our local level.
Josh Lofthus from "The Reformatory" podcast joins me as we discuss the local church, while poking fun at his Green Bay Packers, and proclaiming the truth about how necessary it is to be part of the body of Christ in 2021.
We kick off our new series "State of the Steeple" with an intro episode.
Listen as we talk about what is going on with the Church, why so many problems exist, and what Scripture says is the prescription.
Heath shares a little about his own personal life experience in churches while stressing the point of 7 letters to the 7 churches in Revelation chapters 2 & 3: Jesus Christ walks in the midst of ALL churches and has a message for each and every one of them!
It is so difficult to rejoice when people are cruel to us. Especially when that cruelty leads to persecution for our proclaiming the Gospel.
Concluding the series on the sanctification process, we continue the discussion on persecution, the Church, and why we should consider ourselves #blessed when we go through it.
What is persecution? What does it look like? Why does it happen?
In this episode, my wife Andrea joins me again! We reminisce about our old Youth Group days and we dive into the center of the issues bringing persecution to the Church; and some of those may surprise you.
What "peace" are we bringing?
In this episode we continue our discussion of what it truly means to be blessed and we ask the question: what is a peacemaker? My wife Andrea joins me as we dig a little deeper into the sanctification process and how that applies to our relationships with others.
Listen as we unpack the disunity in the Church, make gratuitous "Hamilton" references, and share from our hearts why we want to be "peacemakers" for the Kingdom.
How good is "Good Enough"?
What does it mean to be "pure in heart" in a time when purity, just like truth, is relative? In this episode, we look at the turning point in Christ's words to His people that will start to make them (and us) very uncomfortable.
Hunger, Thirst and be Merciful.
What do these actions have to do with being authentically "blessed" and what do they actually look like? As we continue our series in Matthew 5, we dig a little deeper into the progression of walking with Jesus while looking at culture today as a comparison.
Blessed are the Gentle...
Tonight we continue our series as we take a look at what it means to be "gentle" in a world that is anything but that. When looking at the biblical prescription for being blessed it is not hard to discover where the world and our culture are missing the point.
This week we introduce the new series and begin tackling two tough questions:
- What does it REALLY mean to be blessed?
- Who are those that ARE "blessed?"
Come listen as we talk about some tough stuff...you just might be surprised!
What is the REAL meaning of Christmas?
On this special Christmas Eve episode, we discuss what is at the very center of Christmas: Christ. We also make the connection between Christmas and The Cross.
In this episode we shift gears a little and take a look at how the Church is responding to COVID-19, and all of these "mandates" we're being given. Or rather, how we aren't responding.
In the best offense against the spread of this virus has been a string defense; at least that is what the "experts" have told us. However, these people keep changing their minds and it is affecting the congregations of our churches.
I think we have ALL had enough!
But, let's see what the Scriptures say to ALL of this and more...
We continue our discussion through the Beattutudes in Matthew 5, diving deeper into the understanding of what it REALLY means to be blessed? This episode we cover two points"
- Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
You will DEFINITELY enjoy this one!
In this special Christmas episode ,we take a brief look at the characters of The Nativity and see what it was that drew them to the Manger. We'll explore a little cultural history and background and ask if we come to the Manger in like or similar manners.
The shepherds, the Magi, Mary and Joseph, and even Herod are all part of the conversation. Listen as we venture into the heart and mind of what draws us to the Christ Child.
To kickoff the "new" Podcast, we'll take a look at the pros and cons of what we're being forced to deal with as a means to fighting COVID-19.
- To mask or not to mask?
- Students in school or not?
- Businesses open or closed?
- Inside or outside dining? Or only take-out?
- Who and What are we supposed to believe?
Join me as we take a look at the biblical perspective on these and more thoughts...
