Jesus told us to wait for his return and be ready. We've been waiting a long time, but are we really ready?  We share our thoughts about the end times and why the idea of Jesus' return sparks fear more than hope for most of us. If Jesus really
How does faith really benefit you when you're a follower of Jesus? If we're being honest you have to admit we can usually get along OK without "functional faith." Sure, you have to have faith for your ticket to heaven, but that's not the kind o
"Jesus, teach me to love myself and I'll change the world." Abi Stumvoll prayed this prayer as a teenager. Jesus took her on a wild ride and showed her first how much he loves her. It was his love that gave her power to get past her religious u
I grew up thinking that prosperity and being spiritual were mutually exclusive. Christians who had money were not as devoted as those who did the "important" work inside the church or as missionaries.  The "Prosperity Gospel" teaches that faith
Seems like everyone talks bad about the Prosperity Gospel. We take a look at the "word of faith" movement and discuss it's faults and merits.  
Jesus was accused of being a glutton and drunkard, a friend of people in low places. You don't often see pictures of Jesus partying. Usually he's praying, teaching and looking somber. But he spent a lot of time just hanging out, eating with fri
Spoiler Alert! Santa isn't real. Sorry if you didn't already know this.  A short episode with my comments about a pastor who decided to "tell the truth" about Santa in a Texas shopping mall.  Standing for the truth isn't worth much if it's not
One of our hosts (me) hates Christmas. Another (Patrick) loves Christmas. Even the constant yearly arguments to "keep Jesus in Christmas" get annoying. Sure, we want to remember Jesus, but don't make me feel obligated. The forced festiveness of
You could go to hell if you don't behave! For over 1600 years this is the Church's ultimate tool to control it's members. No one wants to go to hell. But what if God was more scary than hell?  In our last episode we talked about the holiness of
Where is the holy if the Holy Spirit lives inside us? People who encountered God in the Old Testament were scared to death by his holiness. You could die just by touching something holy. Jesus feels safe in comparison. He invites us to hang out
You may think pastors have everything all together in relationship with Jesus. But growing up in church as a preacher's kid doesn't mean you're free from struggles with shame and being religious. Pastor Matt Purkey shares the lessons he learned
What do you do when you feel as if Jesus let you down? You pray and do all the "right" Christian things but you still feel a roaring silence from heaven. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit seem nowhere to be found. It's as if you invited Jesus to
Jesus is on my side! Don't you usually feel like you have common sense beliefs and attitudes? Of course! No one holds on to ideas they think are wrong. And, if you're like me, you tend to think Jesus agrees with you. So you and I tend to only h
The accepted Christian party line says the "fear of the Lord" means a deep respect. But a close encounter with God's glory shakes us to our roots.  We discuss how Jesus can be both the friend you have a beer with as well as God the Son, who is
Why do Christians get performance anxiety when they meet other Christians? Because Christians judge each other by how religious the other one is and whether he or she has the right flavor of doctrine. Living life as a Christian could be just li
Getting Jesus perspective and hearing him speak to you will change your life forever. Our guest, Laurie Goddu, is a transformation coach, helping people to get unstuck by hearing Jesus speak to them in language they can understand. You'll find
Jesus' voice is more often than not a gentle whisper. You miss it if you're not paying attention. Why doesn't he talk to us in ways we can know, without a doubt, what he's saying? We're on location at Barley's Brewhaus talking about what Jesus
We aren't doing our job! Christians are taught to withdraw from the world and stop doing a long list of don'ts and start doing a lot of "Christian" dos. Our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to convince other people to do the same. We
What did Jesus really command us to do. Most Christians believe it's to love God with our heart, soul and strength and to love our neighbor. We explain the error of this belief and dig in to what Jesus meant when he said, "I'm giving you a new
Knowing about Jesus isn't the same thing as knowing Jesus. Christians work hard to learn about Jesus so they can act like him. After all, we're supposed to become like Jesus. But we're like Elvis impersonators. We can get the moves and the look
A pastor praised the murders in Orlando because the victims were "sodomites." We discuss what Jesus would say to this pastor and how he would respond to gay people.  We also swerve into discussing how the church doesn't act as if the Holy Spiri
Following Jesus should make you think differently. But it's easier to live following the same routines and habits. You can look like a good "Christian" and do the standard disciplines of the religion and still not be transformed in your mind. W
Todd bought the beer "Even More Jesus" a few minutes before I texted him that this would be our topic. We decided it was a sign from the Holy Spirit. We want to always be growing and getting more of Jesus in our lives. We talk about the ways we
What's with all the joyful talk about being broken? Sure, Jesus takes us as we are and loves us. But does that mean we just stay broken?  I think our promise to be free from sin makes us able to live healed and whole in our soul. The guys don't
Most Christians believe God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three in one. This mystery is baffling. The Beer with Jesus crew takes on this paradox with humor, weak analogies and beer. You may not fully understand the "Trinity" after listening,
