A deep look at scripture and personal experience through the eyes of a former addict and atheist who is on the autism spectrum (Asperger's Syndrome).

Using the letter to the angel of the church at Ephesus in Revelation, I discuss why simply telling the world what we hate or are against is not what Christ had in mind for his church. If we don't show love in place of hatred, we will never be effective in reaching a lost world. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oddly…

How can we answer Jesus' call to be a light in the darkness when we completely avoid dark places? How depression and anxiety have been ostracized from the church in favor of perpetual smiles. The Bible leaves room for these emotions via Lamentations and Psalms proving God can handle these emotions.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotif…

When we chose sin and were banished from Eden God left paradise to follow the Israelites. When Israel doubted and had to wait to enter the promised land, God wandered in the wilderness with them. No matter where we may find ourselves God is always with us.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oddly-godly/support…

There's a reason the same band that has a song called "Sympathy for the Devil" also has a song called "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", true satisfaction can only come from Christ. Our spirits yearn and hunger for him alone but sometimes we consume spiritual junk food instead.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oddly-go…

Growing up I always heard "Don't discuss religion or politics." Now I think we've come to take this to heart so much that the two have become inseparable. We have pastors refusing congregants wearing masks and whole denominations splitting in half over politics. This is not biblical nor is it Christlike yet it has become so pervasive in the church …

I'm back! Sorry for the delay I've had so much going on lately. Is there purpose for our pain? Did God create evil? Why doesn't he do anything to stop it? I weigh in on one of the most debated topics of Christianity and hopefully bring something to the table--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oddly-godly/support…

The parables are the description of the Kingdom of God and the "Sermon On The Mount" is the language and the customs of the kingdom. It should be our native tongue so are we letting it guide our thoughts? Or is our accent giving us away as not being fluent? A special thank you to my new friends in Texas at UT Austin and Baylor University thank you …

The first episode in the sermon series on "The Sermon On The Mount" about the most important first step into the Kingdom of God. What does it mean to be poor in spirit? Why does the sermon open this way? Join me as I unpack this verse to understand why this isn't just the first part of the sermon but also the first step to salvation.--- Support thi…

We can't judge the "lost" from the "saints" based on our incomplete evidence of their lives. We can't tell the "wheat from the weeds" this side of eternity. Even the best most wonderful fruit if eaten before it is ripe will leave a bad taste in our mouth. If we were to eat an unripe fruit it may lead us to believe the tree only produces bitter frui…

As someone on the Autism spectrum it's hard for me to "feel" God sometimes. I don't think this is exclusively an autistic trait I think we all feel that way sometimes. This doesn't mean we're defective or our love for God isn't genuine. In fact true love perseveres without the "warm fuzzies" --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/…

Covers 2 out of 3 sequential parables about prayer. The 3rd is touched on in my episode "What Is Truth?" about the tax collector and the Pharisee. God hears our prayers no matter the hour that we pray them. He listens to us eagerly and rejoices in the prayers we bring before him. He views our prayers as Holy as sacrifices on the altar.Luke 18:1-8Lu…

Due to my harsh message I've added some of the positive examples of what it means to be a "Good Samaritan" as well as bring closure to the sermon. In the first of a new segment where I'll add additional notes or random ideas to the sermon of the week, possibly answer questions or discuss random ideas or events. I hope this will add to the experienc…

Some people seek God until they find him. Others seek something to fill a void in their hearts that they realize only God can fill. God seeks both of them at the same time. The real dilemma is counting the cost once we've found the kingdom of God.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oddly-godly/support…

Sometimes we wait for God to answer us in specific ways and miss what he's truly trying to tell us. 1 Kings 19:11-12, Isaiah 65:24, Romans 8:28, John 16:33, Romans 8:37-39, Isaiah 55:8-9, Acts 17:27-28, 2 Corinthians 1:3-7, 1 Kings 20:28, James 1:2-4, Acts 16:22-25--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/oddly-godly/support…

Sometimes we may feel stuck in certain situations or places. Maybe it's A job or a living situation. Sometimes, however, this is exactly where God wants us to be. Sometimes it is in exactly these places we can do the most for God's kingdom. The audio for this was taken from a video sermon on Ash Wednesday 2021 on my YouTube channel of the same name…

Sometimes we like to keep our "small" sins managed and neatly manicured in our lives but this sin will always take root and make itself known. We reap what we sow and what we sow we spread.

A lot of times people try to hide their sinfulness from God as well as pretend everything is perfect before men. This is an error because it's only by admitting our faults and our brokenness and telling.the truth that we can be healed and forgiven. God can save all of us no matter who we are or what we've done but he won't save a fictional characte…

All of us have scars from our past that remind us of some of the tough places we've been. Jesus has scars too. He kept them even after His resurrection to remind Him of the sacrifice he made to atone for our sins. You may look at your scars and see failure Jesus looks at His and sees forgiveness.
