What Characterizes Believers Who Finish the Narrow Path? | Mountain Man Theology | Ep 68

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 19:00:00 GMT

In episode 54, we resolved that nothing in all of creation can pluck us from the Lord’s hand. We tentatively concluded that—because apostasy (abandoning the faith) is possible—the believer alone decides whether to remain with Christ or depart from Him. Today we ask what characterizes believers who choose to remain.

Movie Review: Nefarious | Revealed by Fire | Ep 32

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 19:00:00 GMT

In today’s Revealed by Fire episode, we have re-recorded our review of the 2023 movie Nefarious, this time in video format. We center on the film’s primary topic of spiritual warfare. We discuss God’s power over the enemy and Biblically establish the devil’s knowledge, craftiness, and deception. Though there is some overlap, this episode offers discussion not presented in episode #8. Please note this movie is rated R.

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly: Spiritual Warfare | Revealed by Fire | Ep 28

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 19:00:00 GMT

In today’s “The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly” sermon review, we discuss a May 2025 sermon by Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell of 2819 Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Based on the Seven Woes passage from Matthew 23, Mitchell drives hard-hitting points on the Biblical truths of spiritual warfare. If our Pets in Heaven review (episode 26) revealed irresponsible preaching, then today’s episode reveals a different approach entirely.

We examine the Biblical basis for confessing our sins both to God and to other believers. We address the criticality of confession and what it reveals about our heart. We explore the danger of considering others’ sins as worse than our own. And we ask whether, in washing the disciples’ feet, Christ taught us about the confession and forgiveness of periodic sin.

Tue, 13 May 2025 19:00:00 GMT

Today we discuss forgiveness, the first episode in a four-part series called “The Christian Response to Wrongdoing.” We address forgiving both believers and unbelievers and forgiving without limit. We examine the “Yeah, but…” cliché (e.g., “Yeah you have to forgive, but you don’t have to let that person wrong you again”). We talk about forgiving without prerequisite and answer the sobering question, “Is God’s forgiveness of us contingent upon our forgiveness of others?”

The Magnitude of God's Grace | Revealed by Fire | Ep 14

Tue, 06 May 2025 19:00:00 GMT

Today we welcome back Pastor Jared for a discussion on the magnitude of God’s character, both His pleasant and unpleasant attributes. We address how elements of the church have ignored both truth and love. And we establish—from a Biblical perspective—that we must focus on both the Bad News and the Good News. But before jumping into those topics, we emphasize the importance of asking the hard questions of our faith.

In this episode, we reference Pastor Jared’s “Check your attitude” sermon in which he discusses our attitude toward sin and suffering. You can listen here:

Obedience & Trials Come Hand-in-Hand | Streams in the Wasteland | Ep 13

Thu, 01 May 2025 19:00:00 GMT

In today’s Streams in the Wasteland episode, we discuss Psalm 25. We examine the importance of looking past the surface and examining our hearts. We address the reality of humility and the need to acknowledge the magnitude of our own sin. We also expound upon trials: obedient believers can go through serious trials and refinement; trials and refinement can be indicative of an obedient life in which God is seriously investing; therefore, trials and obedience are noncontradictory. We remind ourselves that what we do now sets up our eternity.

The Redemption of a Drunk | Iron Sharpening Iron | Ep 12

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 19:00:00 GMT

In this interview, we discuss alcoholism, addiction, and freedom with Billy Walther. We address the precursors of his addiction, the damage he experienced, and the freedom he found in Christ. Without making any excuses, we address our sinful nature. But we also explore the truth that God uses messed up people and has done so for thousands of years.

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 19:00:00 GMT

In this Streams in the Wasteland episode, we address believers who are going through deep and ongoing suffering. We discuss Lamentations 3:1-33, which records Jeremiah’s acknowledgement of his unavoidable suffering. We learn how to acknowledge God’s sovereignty over our trials without accusing Him of wrongdoing. We see that we can hold onto hope even in our darkest hour. And we address why we have trials and how we can build an attitude of resolve and perseverance.

The Way You Should Go | Streams in the Wasteland | Ep 9

Thu, 17 Apr 2025 20:00:00 GMT

Today we address the believer needing instruction, counsel, or guidance from the Lord. Specifically, we discuss this passage: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you” (Psalm 32:8). By examining this passage within the context of the entire Psalm, we learn that—within our verbal and nonverbal dialogue with the Lord—we have specific responsibilities which lay the groundwork for His help.

What on Earth is Worship? | Iron Sharpening Iron | Ep 7

Thu, 03 Apr 2025 20:00:00 GMT

In this conversation with our first-ever Those Few interviewee—Worship Pastor David Freeman—we discuss the purpose of Christian music, our accountability for our words and teaching, and what it means to worship. We talk about the simplicity of Christianity, the raucous music of a ministry for felons, and how to tear down façades in the church. Ultimately, we conclude that worship is much more than singing.

Joe and co-host John discuss the latest Kendrick Brothers movie, The Forge (released August 2024).
