Christianity in America is in trouble. What can we do as Jesus followers to help those who are helpless and to lead those who are leaderless?

Obesity is a pandemic in the United States and across the world but our leaders in our country, in our church and in the media never talk about it or do anything about it. Obesity plus Covid-19 is killing so many, but its a lot easier to tell people to wash your hands, social distance and put on a mask. When are we going to tell people and maybe mandate that we should eat healthier and get some regular exercise?

Discussing the National Anthem, kneeling and BLM. What should we as Jesus followers be doing.

Discussing what should be the Christian role during these difficult times in our world.

In this episode I break down the current church model, where it came from and why it isn't working. I also discuss what might be a better model for a church.

Is your church teaching prosperity?The prosperity gospel teaches health and wealth for all if you have enough faith. But does the Bible teach this?

Discussion with a single dad and our friendship for the last 12 years. The difficulties of being a single parent is heartbreaking. Take a listen to Jeff's story.

Jesus went to many places which were considered in his day unclean or even forbidden and miracles followed. Miracles became common around Jesus and His disciples. So where are the miracles today? Maybe God is silent in our generation?

In this episode I share my story when I got fired from a company I was with for 10 years. Was this God's punishment to get me back in line and back to church? It's very difficult to stay positive when you lose something you spent years working for.

Cussing or cursing is not something that Christians should be doing, but they still do it. Behind closed doors all of us have let off steam with a variety of cuss words. So is it a sin? And what does the Bible say about it?

Marijuana has slowly become legal in some states. Many Christians are facing a challenging question about the recreational use of marijuana and if it's a sin. In this episode, I share my experiences and challenge the listeners to think beyond if something is a sin or not.

Is there the one for you? Does God have someone specifically picked out for you? So much pain has been caused by these teachings.

The teachings about sexual purity in Christianity have caused long term negative effects. I share some of the things I personally went through and how it's affected my sexual life.

There are over 200,000 born again Christians getting an abortion every year in the United States. What are we as Christians doing to change that? It's easy to post our pro-life stance on social media, but these posts aren't saving any lives.

The problem with being Pro-Life and a Christian is that there are many inconsistencies when it comes to actually fighting for a life. We can all post things on social media screaming our views but what are we doing to actually help others around us?

In this crazy social media driven world Christianity is seen as the problem and not the solution. Maybe it's time for Christians to say less and do more.

Many Christians are misunderstanding the Bible when they read it. There as some basics that everyone should know before they read the Bible and apply it to their lives.

Why is Christianity not leading the way in physical health? New year resolutions are underway and many people want to get healthier and lose weight. In this episode I discuss what leaders and pastors need to focus on more. I also give some tips on dropping bad habits and creating good habits which will benefit your physical health.

Jesus came to bring restoration and give an opportunity for humanity to reconcile with their Creator. Jesus did NOT come to give us a formula for salvation.

Is Yoga wrong? Is it demonic? Megachurch Pastor John Lindell and John Piper have some interesting insights into Yoga. Let's talk about it.

Having a real discussion about real issues within Christianity is not easy, but it's necessary. In this episode I attempt to tackle Biblical passages and stories that may shake a persons belief in God.

What's better than one SOP (Son Of a Pastor)? Two SOP's! My brother Matt Vitaly joins me to discuss Christianity from a sociological point of view. It's easy to point fingers at issues we have with other religions but it's much more difficult to evaluate our own religion and beliefs.Heaven or Hell YouTube video: tinyurl.com/mvstudios

In this episode I discuss a Bible passage from Revelation chapter 3 where a letter is written to a church in Laodicea. In this passage we find this term, “lukewarm”. This is the most misused, misinterpreted and misunderstood term in the Bible. So let's talk about this term in its context.

Should Christians only have close relationships with other Christians? Was Jesus consistent in his behavior and methods when interacting with people? Looking back at my time serving in church, I only developed close friendships with people who went to the same church as me. Reading through the Gospels, I find that Jesus developed friendships with all sorts people. There was nothing consistent about the methods he used to reach out to others.

In this episode I share my experiences with celebrating Halloween, or lack thereof. Many Christians believe Halloween is an evil holiday that they should not partake in. As a Christian myself I see this as the wrong way to approach it, so let's talk about it...

Not all Christians are bad tippers but it's commonly known that Christians don't leave good tips. In this episode I discuss how important it is to tip well even when the service you received wasn't to your satisfaction. Most churches and small groups will talk weekly about the importance of offering but never do you hear pastors and leaders talk about the importance of tipping. Let's treat others like we would like to be treated and change the narrative that Christians are not stingy and can leave a good tip when they go out.

Growing up I was taught that in order to enter God's presence I needed to do certain things like repent, give thanks and sing songs. But I'm not sure that this was the teaching of Jesus and His disciples. In this episode I discuss worship and what I think worship really is.

I'm so happy to have a guest speaker on for the first time on Son Of A Pastor Podcast. A long time friend who spent many years working along side with me in my dads church, Ricardo Aguilar, aka China, joins me to talk about all the pressures that we and others who serve in church are faced with on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis.

God is not a matchmaker. Many Christians teach that God has the perfect person for you, to complete you and make you happy. In this episode I discuss why that is not the case and how this notion of God playing matchmaker is harmful to Christians.

It's difficult to talk about sexuality within the Christian community. Most Christian leaders tend to shy away from having real deep conversations about sexuality and sexual sins. In this episode I share my story about my struggles with my own sexuality and trying to fit in God's plan for my life.
