The Disturbing Truth About Christian Influencers & Why I'm Done With Youtube & Ministry26 Oct 202400:58:15

Episode Fifty-Seven!! In this episode, I’m getting real about my frustrations with the direction of “celebrity Christianity” and why I'm questioning my role in it. After years of meeting other Christian influencers and seeing mainstream mega-church culture up close, I’ve noticed a troubling shift—a focus on fame, profit, and popularity over true biblical teaching and disciple-making. Where’s the obedience to God’s Word? Where’s the dedication to making disciples?

Join me as I unpack why this lack of biblical literacy in our community has led me to consider stepping back from YouTube and ministry altogether. It’s a hard conversation, but one that needs to happen. Are we really following Jesus, or are we just chasing influence?

How to Reach LGBTQ+ For Christ & Make Friends, Not Enemies!04 Sep 202401:03:45

Episode Fifty-Six!! I explore the complexities of forming meaningful relationships with LGBTQ community members and unbelievers, both inside and outside the church. As a Christian who has lived as a gay man, I've had the unique experience of building friendships with LGBTQ individuals, and I share why it's crucial for the church to engage rather than avoid these connections We dive into the biblical foundation for this approach, guided by 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, and discuss practical strategies for creating genuine, non-judgmental friendships. I also touch on the challenges of navigating these relationships within the church, the importance of not giving away spiritual authority, and the impact of church hurt. Whether you're looking to build bridges or seeking guidance on how to approach LGBTQ friendships as a Christian, this episode offers valuable insights and a compassionate perspective on loving others for the gospel’s sake.
