Should a believer watch “Game of Thrones?”
https://media.nbcnewyork.com/images/652*367/thronesbackx.jpg Warning: This is opinionated and contains discussion on some explicit topics. I've never personally been a big TV show guy. I don't really have the attention span to sit and watch things for long periods of time. This is precisely why I have several hobbies. It keeps me from getting bored. With that being … Continue reading Should a believer watch “Game of Thrones?”
It’s okay to cry
I have found myself crying lately on several occasions. I know... I'm soft. I cried during our first game this season. It was really cool, even though we lost handily, to see so many of the new guys on the team play. I feel a lot more camaraderie this season than I have in the … Continue reading It’s okay to cry
Ep. 39: The Story of Us — Salvation
We're back, and of course, it's not in a timely manner. Please, do not criticize-- I'm a busy person. On this episode, we are in stage 4 of the Story of Us. We've talked about creation.

Ep. 38: The Story of Us — Frustration
The Bible is one, big story. It's a story of history, yes. But it's also the story of you, me, and everyone else. In the first episode, we looked at creation.

Ep. 37: the Story of Us — Devastation
The Bible is one big story. On the last podcast, we talked about the first part of this story: Creation. God created the world to be perfect and awesome.

Something happened to … Continue reading Ep. 37: the Story of Us — Devastation

On this installment of Coffee With Friends, for one, there is actually coffee being consumed during the recording. That's probably a first. I got to sit down and talk to a teammate and friend of mine, Gavin James, about something very unique-- metal music. We talked about metal culture, Gavin's own metal band, and more. … Continue reading Coffee With Friends #8: Gavin James
Ep. 36: The Story of Us — Creation
I am back from my accidental sabbatical. My life has been doing 1200 things since July, and not one of those things is slowing down. Caffeinated Christianity is still alive and well. I'm fired up. On this episode, we are going to be kicking off a new series (I really like series, don't I?) on … Continue reading Ep. 36: The Story of Us — Creation
The Non-negotiables of Being a Christian — #4
The number one way to kill any kind of credibility is to be a hypocrite. One of the most-often cited reasons for why a person does not attend church is because the people there are hypocrites. The famous Gandhi has been quoted as saying, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians." Every … Continue reading The Non-negotiables of Being a Christian — #4
