Episode 59: Live in Love, not Fear! God loves you!
April 18th, 2021 | 41 mins 37 secs
fear, humility, jesus, love, perfect, phobia
Fear is a staple in today's churches. Fear is used to control congregations and to keep the people from living free in Jesus! We are taught that God is eagerly anticipating punishing us and chastising us for sin. This is simply NOT TRUE! We are to stand in amazement of God not cower in fear of Him. Don't believe me? Listen...you'll hear straight from the scriptures yourself.

Episode 58: "Do the will of God"....Ok and how do I do that exactly?
April 10th, 2021 | 36 mins 28 secs
deconstruct, jesus, just, love, mercy, will of god
What does God expect of you and me? This may seem like a loaded question but the Bible is pretty specific and straightforward when it comes to what God requires of us....and the answer may surprise you! We have not been told the truth in today's churches about what is most important to the Lord.

Episode 55: LOVE YOUR LIFE! Ecc 9:7 Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for it is now that God favors what you do."
March 19th, 2021 | 36 mins 24 secs
agape, drink, eat, joyful, life, love, merry
If you've grown up in the church like me, you've been taught all your life that in order to love Jesus we have to hate this life. Actually, the complete opposite is true! God wants us to love this life and everything/every one in it! Take a journey with Shawn as he explains Phileo love VS. Agape Love and why it's important to know the difference. Never let anyone tell you this life isn't worth living and loving! A live dog is better than a dead lion. If you're living...YOU HAVE HOPE

Episode 51: “Feed my sheep”
February 19th, 2021 | 47 mins 50 secs
colorado city, help, ice, love, mayor, serve, texas
There is an old saying that says "God only helps those who help themselves" Guess what..You won't find that in the scripture. There are no check boxes that have to be marked to be eligible for God's help, neither should there be amongst ourselves. Whenever anyone is in need, this is the moment a follower of Jesus shines! Why waste time on considering if they deserve your help or not?! Jesus didn't waste time considering qualifications and neither should we.

Episode 50: CLANG CLANG CRASH CLANG CLANG! Ahhh, the sounds of good intentions without the love of God...
February 12th, 2021 | 39 mins 35 secs
agape, corinthians, faith, love, unconditional
We can have all the talents, gifts, blessings, even the best intentions ....but if we do not have love...we have NOTHING! And not just love, but AGAPE...Unconditional love! A careful study of 1 Corinthians 13 shows us how all things we do should be done on a launchpad of God's love. Nothing else matters if Love is not our motivation and end goal.

Episode 48: Nothing we say or do can change God's will
January 29th, 2021 | 45 mins 37 secs
comfort, false prophecy, god, love, peace, plans, unity, wins, worry
Big pill to swallow today! What if I told you that nothing you or I say or do can change God's will. Does that scare you or comfort you? Shawn takes us on another scriptural journey and hopefully brings you peace as we remember that God has everything in control.

Episode 47: Only the foolish love to fight
January 22nd, 2021 | 1 hr 2 mins
diablo, division, fight, jesus, love, quarrel
We are no doubt living in the most contentious, divisive and argumentative culture any of us have ever seen! We are given so many methods to communicate but we tend to use those methods to tear each other apart rather than build each other up! Using TONS of scriptures, Shawn challenges us to be contributors to the solution and use love to overcome division

Episode 46: Please don't weaponize your faith...let's not curse people M'Kay?
January 15th, 2021 | 43 mins 53 secs
capitol, covid, curse, jesus, love, pandemic, spiritual, warfare
Tensions are rising, the world is becoming unstable, a pandemic is circling the globe, the United States Capitol building is being raided...this all sounds like a great time for Christians to start cursing people to death, sickness and poverty right? Well to some people, even some Pastors, it's a perfect time. Do we have the authority to curse people? If we do, is that even a good idea? Shawn helps us to understand what our reaction should be to people who threaten us our or values. (Hint: Its NOT to put curses on them)

Episode 44: He Can, He will, But Even if he doesn't....
August 14th, 2020 | 36 mins 13 secs
endurance, faith, god, love, pain, sacrifice, suffering
Unfortunately many believers have the wrong idea about faith and belief in God. The American church has created this vending machine God where if you put enough faith and money in, you can get whatever the desires of your heart are out. Friends, it just isn't this way. In fact, the truth is so much greater! It has never been about what WE want, it's all about what GOD wants. (which btw, IS SO MUCH BETTER)

Episode 42: Masks - The perfect opportunity to show Christ's love
July 24th, 2020 | 32 mins 3 secs
controversial, coronapocalypse, covid-19, disciple, jesus, love, masks, scamdemic
During this Coronapocalypse, it seems that not only is there a virus in the molecular level but also a virus of offense and division when it comes to wearing masks. Why are masks so controversial? As Christians, are we missing out on an awesome opportunity to show Christ's love by simply placing a piece of fabric over our nose and mouth when we go out in public? YES! Too many Christians are mask deniers and today we talk about how irresponsible and anti-christian it is to refuse to wear one.
