The Believer, the Unbeliever, and the Inbetweener

Have you ever asked yourself the question, “Where are you God?” Perhaps you asked this question at a time when you were suffering or when your prayers were not being answered. Or maybe it was learning about a school shooting where many young children died innocently. Why is God silent? Why does God not intervene to stop such suffering? Why did one child die and another lived? Does this mean there is no God? In this episode we will explore these questions. We discuss the reasons why people ask this question, why suffering happens in the first place, the common responses people give to this question, and conclude with the Bible's answer to this question. Join us for this very exciting deep dive discussion! Do you have an idea for an upcoming episode? If so, let us know by sending an email to un.believer.inbetweener@gmail.com.

Jeremy comes from a family that has been involved in Freemasonry and U.S. politics for many generations. He spent over 15 years in Freemasonry before leaving it and believes this organization is deceptively conspiring to carry out a nefarious agenda to enslave the world by bringing about a totalitarian global government, currency, and religion.

In this episode, we interview former 32nd degree Maser Mason, Joseph Victor, and get his perspective of Freemasonry. Joseph was the Worshipful Master of his craft lodge and achieved Royal Arch Mason which is the 7th degree of the York rite, the highest rank within this rite. He was also a Shriner. After spending over a decade in this organization, he began to see beyond the benevolent veneer he claims this organization hides behind and believes Freemasonry is not what many Masons think it is. He claims that 90% of practicing Masons have no idea of the deception they are involved in. He shares his belief that Freemasonry is an organization that is deceptively being used to give the global consent necessary to carry out a much larger and nefarious worldwide agenda orchestrated by a small group of Luciferian elites. He claims the god of Freemasonry is Lucifer and encourages practicing Masons to dig deeper to find out what they are really involved in.

In this episode, we explore how having unrealistic expectations of ourselves, others, God, technology, and so on can lead to feelings of disappointment, anger, and rejection. We discuss how to identify our own unrealistic expectations and the importance of moving beyond the “shoulds”, “always”, and “nevers” that we tend to cling to in our minds and beliefs. When we expect others to “read our minds” or “to just know”, it sets us and others up for failure and reminds us that when we clearly and kindly communicate our needs to others, we can set our relationships up for success. We also identify the dangers of black-n-white thinking patterns and how learning to honor our own values and needs without guilt is a much healthier approach.
