This was supposed to be an off week… but I had to share this. A recent Joe Rogan Experience episode with AJ from The Why Files sparked a deeper reflection: why do so many of us sit in the “middle ground” — believing in God, but not fully surrendering? Let’s talk about hesitation, fear, and what it really takes to move forward.

What’s the point of faith if it doesn’t actually change you? This week, I’m sharing the raw truth—how I got called out by a Christian coworker, why our Monday lives matter more than our Sunday talk, and whether we’re doing more harm than good by staying silent.

Also: Should Christians even try to convert people? Hear what an atheist had to say that might surprise you… this one gets real.

This wasn’t on the schedule — but after getting a wave of feedback (and suspiciously absent transcripts), I figured a follow-up was in order.

In this off-week episode, I unpack what AI really said in our last chat, respond to atheist pushback, and reflect on the slow death of passion in modern education. It’s not a rant… unless you disagree — then maybe it is... lol.

In this episode, we continue our 18 Questions series by diving deep into one of the most controversial narratives in the Bible—the conquest of Canaan. Critics often point to these passages as examples of divinely sanctioned genocide, raising difficult questions about God's character and the role of religion in violence. But is that the full story?

Join us as we explore the historical, cultural, and literary context behind these ancient texts. Could the language used reflect a tradition of hyperbole common in ancient warfare? Were the commands meant to be taken literally—or were they part of a larger narrative altogether?

This episode challenges surface-level readings and invites listeners into a deeper conversation about scripture, justice, and the ancient world.

End of Days? Ancient truths resurfacing? Ai and the anti-Christ? Are you ready for this?

A shift is happening—and Ai is at the center of it. For the first time, cracks in the stories we've been told are being forced into the light, and the paradigm shift now has a momentum that likely can’t be stopped. New evidence is surfacing about ancient and modern technology, undeniable proof for intelligent design, and why the scientific and archaeological enterprises are losing their grip on the "official stories" as truth—stranger than fiction—begins to emerge. The boundary between worlds is growing thinner by the day, but with truth comes deception, and the final deception is already taking shape. Don’t miss this episode. There are things coming around the bend that, if you're not spiritually prepared for, could shake even the elect.

At his lowest point, with nowhere else to turn, Cory cried out to God—and everything changed. What followed was nothing short of miraculous. Now, with a heart on fire for Jesus, Cory is passionate about sharing the hope and redemption he found with anyone willing to listen. Don’t miss this raw, honest, and deeply moving story of restoration and grace.
