    Nov 5 2024

    What if you could finally break the cycle that’s been holding you back? The team uncovers six core spiritual obstacles that often keep us trapped. Together, they draw on Romans 7 and 8 to highlight the limitations of relying on the law and emphasize the transformative power found in Jesus. Through the wisdom of Psalm 119, we’ll see how God’s word illuminates our path, helping us make decisions rooted in faith and truth.

    In this episode of Bible, Bros & Brew, we explore one of the enemy’s oldest tricks: sowing doubt about our identity, just as he did with Jesus in the wilderness, saying, “If you be the Son of God…” (Matthew 4:3). David, Lynn, and Phil dig into the scriptures to reveal what it means to embrace our true identity in Christ. By letting go of old, limiting beliefs about ourselves and putting on our new identity in Him, we find freedom and strength to break free from the cycle of sin and live as God intended.

  • Unveiling Modern Idolatry | Celebrities, Careers, and Politics | Bible, Bros & Brew
    Oct 8 2024

    Have you ever considered that the idols of today aren’t ancient statues, but the celebrities, influencers, and ambitions we follow daily?

    Join us on Bible, Bros & Brew as we uncover how modern idolatry subtly infiltrates our lives. From the celebrities we admire to the influencers we follow; we explore the dangers of elevating people to a god-like status. While sipping on Phil’s Peregrine Columbia decaf, David’s Red Barn Caramel coffee, Ryan’s Iced Americano from Starbucks and John’s Salted Caramel Delight, we dive into this pressing issue with a conversational and engaging vibe.

    But it doesn’t stop there. We also take a deep look at the personal idols that creep into our hearts—careers, wealth, and politics. These pursuits, while important, can easily turn into consuming obsessions, pulling us away from our true values and relationships. With candid anecdotes and relatable examples, we discuss the dangers of idolizing work and political ideologies, reminding ourselves that true fulfillment and transformation come from the life-changing power of God's Word, not human systems.

  • Identifying Idolatry | Dealing with Modern Day Idols | Bible, Bros & Brew
    Oct 1 2024

    What if the idols of today weren’t golden statues but everyday distractions?

    In this episode of Bible, Bros, and Brew, we explore the modern-day idols that compete for our attention—whether it's career success, political allegiance, or social media validation. Rooted in Exodus 20:3, we revisit the first commandment to reveal how it still applies in today’s world, urging us to refocus on God amid life’s many distractions.

    While enjoying our favorite coffee—whether it’s Peet's French Roast or a smooth Califia Farms Mocha Almond Latte— we dive deep into the often-misunderstood concept of God’s jealousy, likening it to the fidelity of a marriage, showing how it’s truly an expression of God's love and a desire for our exclusive devotion.

    Through biblical references and personal stories, we expose the uncomfortable truths of modern idolatry—from the devaluation of human life to the hyper-sexualization of our culture. We challenge you to recognize the idols in your own life and rediscover what it means to put God first.

    This episode is a powerful reminder that overcoming idolatry is not just about avoiding the obvious distractions, but about nurturing a deeper relationship with God. Join us for a thought-provoking, life-changing discussion that will leave you spiritually refreshed.

  • Pride, Pleasure & Power: Three Things That Can Take God's Place in Your Heart
    Sep 24 2024

    Ever wonder why the heart is often called the seat of our emotions? Join us on this captivating episode of Bible, Bros & Brew as David, Ryan and Phil unpack this idea with inspiration from 1 John 5:21. We also share a caffeinated moment discussing our eclectic coffee choices, such as Phillip's Malted Maramyva and David's beloved Black Rifle Pumpkin Spice.

    Next, we shift gears to tackle the thorny issue of pride and the essential virtue of humility in our spiritual journeys. By referencing scriptures like 1 John 2 and Proverbs 16, we explore how pride can lead to one's downfall while humility invites God's grace. We also analyze the often deceptive world of societal values reflected on social media, emphasizing that true worth comes from a humble relationship with God, not materialistic gains. This candid discussion aims to offer a fresh, faith-based perspective on the importance of humility in today's pride-driven culture.

    In the latter part of our episode, we delve into the pursuit of fleeting pleasures and the issue of power dynamics. Drawing insights from 1 Peter 2:11, we discuss how temporary thrills and the need for control often lead to internal conflicts and misguided priorities. We share personal stories, including overcoming a "Messiah complex" as a youth pastor, and examine the pitfalls of seeking control and recognition in various aspects of life. The episode wraps up with a prayer, asking for God's wisdom to guide us in aligning our lives more closely with His will. Don't miss the heartfelt reflections and practical wisdom shared by David, Phil, Ryan, and John in this thought-provoking episode.
