In this episode, I talk about one of the best responses believers can have to the overturning of Roe vs. Wade. That response, you guessed it, prayer. Are there other discussion and reactions, sure, but prayer should be first and foremost - not just in this instance, but in any instance. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it.

Hit that subscribe and like button, please. In this episode, I discuss what make Christianity different from all the other religions.

In this episode, I talk about how facts matter, how doing your own research is important when talking about and discussing things. I use the Kyle Rittenhouse trial and verdict as an example and how the media is incredibly incompetent and/or straight up liars pushing an agenda. Also, side note, I make a mistake and say Kyle killed 3 people. He killed 2 and shot and wounded another (kinda ironic when I am talking about facts, but at least I admit my mistake). I then move to happier subjects and talk football and another amazing performance by the OSU Cowboys. Go Pokes. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.

In this episode, I talk about the need it seems everyone has to go to extremes in every situation and how it is silly. I use the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict and the reaction as an example. To one side, he is a national hero, to the other, he is a white supremacist murderer who set out to hunt down people - psst, he's neither, and common sense needs to start prevailing.

In this episode, I talk about how prescient M.C. Hammer was back in the day. Loudoun County School Board lying to cover up a trans student raping a 9th grade girl, Americans still abandoned in Afghanistan, economic issues, Southwest Airlines, shipping, mandates, politics, the media, etc. There is so much going on sometimes you wanna throw up your hands.

In this episode, I do another victory cigar episode. This time is it not because the OSU Cowboys won a football game, it is a victory in Jesus cigar. Yes, the world is crazy and I mention politics and wars and Afghanistan and the media and people defending accosting Krysten Sinema in a bathroom and that at times the world can get you down - but thanks be to God, Jesus has overcome the world and that's reason to find joy and peace.

In this episode, I discuss the report that Tulsa is now a majority minority city. So, if that's the case doesn't that mean the minority is now the majority, so it isn't really a majority minority city? The implications are mind boggling, and kinda silly. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, another Theological Sports one, I discuss the 'controversy' of booing players. In this case, I talk about OU fans booing Spencer Rattler.

RIP Norm Macdonald. Brief Tribute to Norm - The G.O.A.T.
In this episode, I discuss the difference between deconstructing the faith and deconstructing your faith and why the difference is important. I talk about some great advice a former pastor gave when he said, "Read the Bible like it is the first time you've ever read it." There is nothing wrong with doubt or struggle...keep struggling and in the end God will bless the struggle and you. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.

In this episode, I discuss the Simone Biles situation from the Olympics and conclude that erring on the side of not being a jerk is always a good idea. I then transition to Theological Rock and discuss one of the best books on rock and roll ever, Van Halen Rising by Greg Renoff. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I discuss the importance of art and the role it plays in life. I use the prophet Jeremiah and the prophet Billy Joel when discussing how artists need to do their thing, for themselves and for others. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, after a few episode break from reading the Book of Revelation (see previous episodes) I am back to discussing all things - this time, the idiotic extra innings format that Major League Baseball has started this year. It's beyond stupid. I use Game 6 of the 1986 National League Championship Series between the New York Mets and Houston Astros as the backdrop to show the idiocy. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I continue and finish reading the Book of Revelation. The book promises blessing to anyone who hears it. I don't know of anyone who is anti-blessing, although these days there are probably some. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.

In this episode, I continue reading the Book of Revelation as we bank on what the book says - blessed are those who read and hear. I don't know many people who are anti-blessing. So, over the next few episodes we are gonna read and hear this amazing book. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I continue reading the Book of Revelation (chapters 2 and 3), banking on the promise that anyone who reads or hears the book will be blessed. There's nothing wrong with being blessed, right? Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, the Book of Revelation says in its opening sentences that anyone reading or hearing the book will be blessed.

Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I discuss the new Major League Baseball extra innings rule (stupid) and MLB and moving the All Star Game (stupid). I then 'smoothy' transition into a discussion of sin and it's consequences (not good) and God's response to it (Jesus). Oh, and I almost ran over a women while recording, so that's on there, too. All in all, a episode cock full of goodness. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I kinda meander and go down different tracks and maybe don't even make a real point, but I discuss the victimhood culture and use the greatest speech in movie history to do it. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I talk about the awesomeness of March Madness. I also talk about the silliness that is USA Today and their moronic article attacking Oral Roberts University in the midst of their amazing run to the Sweet 16. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I talk about how on this date, March 24th, 35 years ago, a great moment in rock n roll history happened. Van Halen released their album 5150. IMO, one of the greatest albums of all time and an album that will always be special to me. Made even more special today because of the recent passing of Eddie Van Halen. I also talk about how I was sorta responsible for Sammy Hagar and Van Halen joining forces. Note - I was wrong about the Breakfast Club date. It was March 24, 1984. Oh well, that's life. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I do two short praises. One for one of the greatest TV shows of all time and one for quite possibly the only example of American royalty: Breaking Bad and Dolly Parton. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it and be nice.
In this episode, I give a brief update on last night's episode - an album review of The Beatle's Abbey Road and waiting on a copyright claim to be resolved and then I say what every normal, common sense person in the world is saying when it comes to cancelling Dr. Seuss (or putting warning labels on The Muppets, or saying math (and everything else) is racist) - Enough is enough! Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I do another album review. This time it is Abbey Road by The Beatles. I take needed breaks from politics and culture and stuff to look at the Rolling Stone's Top 500 Albums of All-Time. Music is a gift from God and can provide a much needed respite from all the stuff going on. According to Rolling Stone this is the number 5 album. I look at the tracks and give my opinions. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I discuss the Tiger Wood's car crash and the importance of trying to maintain a good name. Prayers up for Tiger's recovery. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.

I then go over an incredible thread by Titania McGrath (link below) and talk about how if everything is racist, nothing is. It is a really amazing thread. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I talk about a phrase that is underused and most needed these days: I don't know. Not, I don't know the phrase, that is the phrase, "I don't know." I also talk about a somewhat related great quote from Jordan Peterson, "Humility is a form of courage." Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I first discuss the 2 mindblowingly idiotic statements President Biden made yesterday at his CNN Townhall. He downplayed the Chinese genocide of the Uighurs and then not to be outdone said Blacks and Hispanics were too stupid to get on the internet. I then discuss the passing of Rush Limbaugh and how regardless of your politics the man was a radio legend. I also talk about the soulless comments of some people. We should be better. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I talk about how we all like to complain, and sometimes have good reason to, but focusing on our blessings might be a better option. Yes, it is cold. Yes, it is inconvenient. Yes, you can complain. Also yes, focus on the good things is the better option. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I do another album review from Rolling Stone's Top 500 Album list. This time it is Stevie Wonder's masterpiece, Songs in the Key of Life. Just. Amazing. Do yourself a favor and listen to it, soon, from start to finish. Put that in your theological pipe and be nice.
In this episode, I discuss the Super Bowl and how Tom Brady is the GOAT after what he did this year by leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl Victory. I also talk about the other GOATs in baseball (Willie Mays, or Hank Aaron, or Bath Ruth, or someone else), hockey (Wayne Gretzky), and basketball (Michael Jordan). I also briefly talk about the Hulu documentary Framing Britney Spears and how, yeah, she needs to be freed (at least it appears that way). Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
In this episode, I was gonna talk about Alexandria Ocasio Cortez pulling a Jussie Smollett and Marjorie Taylor Greene being a nut job. But you either know that or you only think one side is crazy and your side is righteous and it's old and boring, so instead I continue with another review of one of Rolling Stone's top 500 albums of all time. This time it is Joni Mitchell's blue, which Rolling Stone says is the number 3 album of all time. It is not even close to being number 3. Put that in your theological pipe and smoke it. And be nice.
