In this episode of the Good Christian Podcast, Joshua has the pleasure of interviewing Dove Award–winning rapper, speaker, and podcaster Kevin “KB” Burgess (@kb_hga) about his the debut book, Dangerous Jesus releases March 7, 2023.KB is follower of Jesus first and foremost; a husband father, award winning artist and co-host of the Soutside Rabbi Podcast.KB refers to Jesus as “the kind of dangerous that is so infused with power from on high that nothing stays the same when He walks into the room.” He considers the love of Jesus to be “so strong, it's intoxicating,” and his truth “so good, it sets people free.” In his book he implores readers to reconnect with this Jesus to become a threat to the threats—to be dangerous. Tackling some of the hardest issues of today (race, nationalism, division, sanctity of life, sexuality), Joshua and KB discuss the difference between the “Christianity of the Land” (which worships power and comfort) and the “Christianity of Christ,” which challenges us to worship, follow, and reflect the Savior.

We're back! After a few months off with other endeavors and celebrating our 1 year anniversary, we are back in the saddle on the Good Christian Podcast!At the Good Christian Co. we seek to encourage and equip Christians to follow Jesus well in our modern world. This includes how we engage with cultural especially holidays and celebration that might run counter to our faith. Halloween is a perfect example of this. With root in paganism and seemingly surrounded by dark, even demonic and satanic symbols, how could Christians possibly be ok with taking part of such a holiday? Pastor William Butt and I dive a little deeper under the surface to discuss not what Christians should think and do but more how they should think to come up with their own conclusions led by The Holy Spirit, and informed by wisdom and scripture. We pray this equips you and empowers to engage with the surrounding cultur well in a way that honors God. Much love

Sometimes God doesn't change your situation because He is trying to change your heart. Here are three ways to begin allowing God to change your heart: #1. Fast. A practical way to begin letting God change your heart is by fasting. I've been fasting all summer (Not food, don't worry, I'm still here haha) I encourage you to pray about doing the same. Perhaps it's time for you to avoid social media and mainstream media like God has called me to do during this fast. #2. Let go of control. First off, you don't have control anyway. No matter how bitter, mad, or loud you get, you do not have any control over the world. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." #3. Pray. Prayer moves mountains. Through the power of prayer, I've seen more situations changed in my life and in the lives of those around me than through anything else. Are you praying for the world around you? More importantly, are you praying for your own heart? Think about this one.

The biggest problem the world is facing is a lack of love, and Christians are the only solution to solve this problem. 4 Ways Christians can begin to fix the broken world: #1. The greater our love is for God, the more projected it will be in our actions toward those around us. #2. Love is a verb; without action, it is merely a word. #3. Love people for who they are instead of judging them for who they are not. #4. What really changes people is the revelation of God's love.

We live in a society that is obsessed with gaining approval. Because of this, man’s approval has more weight in our hearts than we are willing to admin. Years ago, I was attending a church service, the pastor asked a big question. Would you be willing to die for God? I searched my own heart and thought to myself, Yes. 100% I would. After a pause that felt slightly too long for my quick sure answer, the next question this pastor asked blew my mind. He said, if you’re so willing to die for God, why will you not live for him? Discovering the purpose that God has placed on your life begins when you begin seeking God's approval above man's approval. JOIN THE CONVERSATION: podcast.dailyps.com

Every human on earth has control issues to some extent. As Christians, we have the opportunity to be freed from our control issues. Here's how you can be FREE! 5 Ways Christians Can Let Go of Their Control Issues: #1. Acknowledgment #2. Surrender #3. Self-control #4. Rest #5. Ownership Encouragement: Letting go of control is freeing, not restricting. You’re not giving up your power, you're gaining it. When we begin to gain this perspective, we can start to live a more fulfilled life because we’re operating within the will of God and leaving space for Him to move. We can be the problem, the reason why we’re not further in life. Sometimes we have to get out of the way so God can make something happen. Here’s the thing about God, he’s rarely going to move you, you have to take that first step yourself. For full show notes and discussion visit podcast.dailyps.com

Hearing and understanding the voice of God is also a common question among believers. (But, it's no small topic!) I want to share 3 ways God has spoken to me. Years ago I was at a church service; the pastor challenged the congregation to listen to God for just a few minutes each day. I realized, hearing and understanding the voice of God was something I had been missing in my life. As a Christian, I knew I needed to change this. Hearing and understanding the voice of God is extremely important for all Christians. You all know me, I'm always practical with what I share. So I've broken this post down into three ways to begin hearing and understanding God's voice. FULL SHOW NOTES: https://dailyps.com/hearing-and-understanding-the-voice-of-god
