Yesterday (October 31st) on The Joe Rogan Experience, Elon Musk discussed his concerns related to the developing snd programming of Artificial Intelligence networks by individuals who don't have a value for human life. It was an interesting discussion that got me thinking about the Sanctity of Life, why we're all here, our relationship with the planet, and what it means to be created in the image of God.

It's been a few weeks since I've been able to release an episode, so two things are happening:
- I wanted to share some thoughts on the war that broke out in Israel stemming from the terrorists attacks of October 7th and discuss why it is imperative that we pray for the nation of Israel.
- I am also going to share out of a personal encounter I had with the Lord recently. He spoke some things to me that helped me move into a greater level of freedom in my walk with Him. Maybe it will do the same for you.
Thanks for listening!

This week, we're continuing the discussion series on the New Covenant. My goal is to create dialogue and maybe clear up some confusion about what it really means to live under the New Covenant. The New Covenant is better than the Law, like at literally everything, and yet I find that many in the body of Christ are reluctant to let go of their Old Covenant paradigms for fear that the New Covenant is not strong enough to keep them from sinning. The New Covenant did what the Old never could... it defeated sin once and for all. Join me in this discussion as we unpack the better promises of the New Covenant and discover perhaps in a greater way how perfect and complete the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ really is.

Have you ever heard the theory that Jesus was a mushroom? What are your thoughts on the Big Bang Theory? Evolution? The concept of the existence of a multi-verse? I'm going down some weird rabbit holes in this episode because I'm desperately seeking to expose some lies that are being touted as facts to blind people to the truth of God's Word.
