  • Compassion

    I have been so blessed and challenged by this podcast the last seven months.

    The podcast has helped motivate me to make sure my family becomes active members of our church. I am an Athletic Director and Football Coach blessed with daily opportunities to glorify Christ in my place of work at a Classical Christian school.

    My family and I just chose to sponsor a young man in Kenya with the same birthday as my five year old son.

    My son is excited. I wanted to make sure I did it right and was c... more

  • Doesn’t know history

    Literally just listened to him say something from Christianity was introduced when Jesus died, as if the more than a millennia of Judaism before that or what the “Old Testament” actually is magically came to be then. Can’t take anything else seriously after that.

  • Re-ignition of my spiritual life.

    The strong and applicable messages have helped reignite my walk with the lord in the last year. I recently found out I am going to be the father of a girl, and I am so glad that I found dialed in last year so I can be a MAN of God for my wife and daughter.

    P.S. Jim, I decided to sponsor a compassion child because of the last episode. I didn’t know there was a link through you, and I wanted you to add me to the total number of children sponsored. We picked a young girl who has the same birthday... more

  • Awesome podcast

    I found this podcast a few months ago and have binged listen to it to get caught up. I caught up today. It has really helped me reignite my passion for Jesus and serving him wholeheartedly. I’ve recommended this podcast to several of my friends. Keep up the great kingdom work. I’m looking forward to future episodes. Nathan B.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Authentic Christianity Is (and What It Isn't) w/ Mike Tatlock (pt 2) EP 1063
Q: Can you talk about, what does that mean regarding abiding and waiting for the Spirit?
Waiting for the Spirit is not passive; it's about remaining in step with God, allowing His power to back up our purpose rather than trying to force outcomes through human effort.
Signs You're a Christian in Name Only w/ Granger Smith: How to Go ALL IN EP 1054
Q: Do you think the moment you truly got saved happened during the Aldersgate-like awakening or earlier in college?
The speakers discuss that salvation is evidenced by transformation and ongoing faith, recognizing that there can be different moments of awakening, but true conversion shows through consistent trust in Christ and life change, not simply a one-time decision.
6 Lies You Believe About Porn Addiction: How to Quit w/ Ted Shimer EP 1039
Q: Could you explain the Brace Acrostic and how it helps in real time?
Brace stands for Breathe deeply to oxygenate the brain, Remember the truth to counter urges, Accountability to reach out, Contact God for help, and Escape isolation by moving to a public place or seeking support; it is a concise, repeatable ritual to disrupt triggers.
6 Lies You Believe About Porn Addiction: How to Quit w/ Ted Shimer EP 1039
Q: What role does isolation play in this struggle, and how can men combat it?
Isolation strengthens temptation because it reduces accountability and authentic connection; combating it involves confessing, seeking accountability partners or small groups, and moving toward real relationships and support.
6 Lies You Believe About Porn Addiction: How to Quit w/ Ted Shimer EP 1039
Q: Can you walk us through the lie and the truth here, Ted?
The lie is that porn causes unfixable problems and cannot be changed, but the truth is that brains can be rewired through renewing the mind with God's truth and through practical tools that build new pathways and healthier habits.
