• Christian Vs. Oprah: What You Didn’t See in This Controversial Clip.
    Dec 4 2024

    In this video, I’m taking a deep dive into the episode behind a well-known clip of Oprah that’s been widely shared in Christian circles. It’s sparked a lot of discussion about her beliefs and where they stand in relation to Christianity. But I believe there’s more to this clip than what’s on the surface.

    I go over the majority of the episode, show what you didn’t see, analyze Oprah and the panel’s beliefs, and explore the spiritual questions raised, giving a lot of commentary on what I would consider to be unrecognized New Thought beliefs. This is not just about Oprah or another "Oprah EXPOSED" video. This is about something bigger—a set of beliefs that isn't going anywhere and I promise you at some point in your Christian walk, you'll be confronted with these arguments and beliefs this panel puts forth. I want you to be equipped.

    On top of this, I also give some (maybe) unpopular opinions about the interaction between Oprah and an outspoken audience member. I thought this would be a shorter video, but… that just didn’t happen. Even for how long this turned out, I still could have spent another hour (or more) analyzing this episode and the clip in question.

  • Exposing Genuine and Fake Spiritual Encounters with Dr. Chris Berg
    Sep 9 2024

    Some Christians will say that for every counterfeit spiritual experience out there, there's an authentic version of it. This is how some odd and bizarre behaviors are explained to be not only biblical but also a display of spiritual power and favor from God. But what if that's not the case and there is more to this? I asked Dr. Berg, an expert on this topic, to come on my channel and talk about this.

  • Five Myths About The Bible (And How We Got it.)
    Jul 21 2024

    There's a lot of strange stuff out there about the Bible. So I interviewed Bible scholar and historian Wesley Huff to give some clarity on this topic.

    Timestamps:
    03:59- Myth #1: The Bible was put together at the Council of Nicaea, where books were taken out.
    09:39- Myth #2: The Bible has changed over time, especially with books being taken out, texts changing, and the Catholic Church having a different “Bible” than we do.
    32:23- Myth #3: The Roman Catholic Church gave us the Bible.
    45:50- Myth #4: The King James Bible is the Best and Most Accurate Bible.
    56:51- Myth #5: The Book of Enoch Belongs in the Bible.

  • Former MLM Leaders Share Why They Left it All.
    Jul 5 2024

    We're digging deeper into the world of MLMs (Multi-Level Marketing). In this interview, I talk with two former MLM leaders, Kathy and Noble Gibbens, who are absolutely delightful. They were in a well-known MLM for over 20 years and were very successful. So why'd they leave it all?

    This is a follow-up to my initial MLM video. With as long as this interview was, there was till a LOT more to cover. Both Kathy and Noble have followed up on more thoughts about their experience in their podcast. You can find the info for that below.

  • The Controversial World of MLM's... And What Nobody is Talking About.
    Jun 1 2024

    We're delving into the world of MLMs (Multi-Level Marketing Companies) and exploring their allure and controversy. And let me tell you... MLMs can be one of the strangest and most intriguing phenomena in the business world. I never intended this video to be as long as it did. But the more research I did, the more I decided that I needed to cover. It took me many, many hours and almost 2 months to do this research.

    I have yet to see MLMs addressed from a Christian perspective. The *real* fuel for why I did this deep dive has to do with my background in New Thought and what I started noticing hidden within MLMs that needs to be talked about. (And it's not New Age.) I'm calling this the "dirty secret of MLMs."

    My goal is to approach this with fairness but also firmness. I think there’s generally a lot of (understandable) anger and bitterness with some of the anti-MLM crowd, and I wanted to approach this from a different angle. I made this video with no resentments but with a genuine interest in the topic, your stories, and a love for people and truth. I actually had a really wholesome experience doing this research.

    Apr 29 2024

    UFOs and aliens can be a fringe topic that many Christians don't know how to navigate. Surprisingly, there are many academics and theologians that have seriously looked into this from a Christian worldview. In this fascinating interview, I talk to Dr. Brian Huffling about this topic and his surprising conclusions.
