Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:0:00 - Introduction1. 0:11 {About the “5-Fold Ministry”} Have you heard of the "5-Fold Ministry" way of thinking about apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers exercising those gifts today? And if so, what are your thoughts about it?2. 12:40 {When does Competition become Unbiblical?} The Bible stresses the importance of unity within the body of Christ. When does competition among believers (even seemingly friendly competition - games, sports, etc.) become unhealthy?3. 16:21 {What is “Fundamental Christianity”?} Can you define "Fundamental Christianity" for me? Recently I've been seeing it referred to as a negative thing. Is it?4. 20:48 {Why do Animals Die or Become Extinct?} If “the wages of sin is death,” why do animals die? (My question also involves the extinction of the dinosaurs - why would God create them to be exterminated?)5. 26:51 {Using the Morality Argument} If using the morality argument, how would you respond to an unbeliever that uses the objection that morality is subjective and there is no real objective right or wrong?6. 32:30 {About Feeling Angry toward God} When someone is angry at God, are they able to bring that to God, or do they wait until they are not angry and then go to God? Do we have to be 100% before talking with God, as to not disrespect Him?7. 38:55 {About John 15 – Bearing Fruit} What do you think of the view that states that in John 15, Jesus actually said in Greek that those who don't bear fruit are lifted up instead of cut off? Is this us practicing bad Greek?8. 42:45 {About Gratitude in the Midst of Hardship} When I was an atheist, I got depressed and actually planned to end my life to escape all its struggles. I now know God exists, but I can’t be grateful for being created. How do I repent from that?9. 47:23 {Should Prayer be a Dialogue or Monologue?} About prayer, I’ve heard many people say that praying to God should be more of a dialogue than a monologue. Isn’t the Lord’s Prayer spoken by Jesus a monologue? How should we pray then?10. 50:19 {About Leaving a Church} Is it necessary to ask your church to remove your name from its records if you are leaving due to false teaching/beliefs? I wonder if that’s what God means when He says “come out of her.”11. 53:24 {About 1 Kings 13} In 1 Kings 13, what are we supposed to learn from this passage? It seems as though the prophet lied to the man of God, tricking him so that he wouldn’t stay the course. Why lead him into this trap?12. 1:02:44 {About the 1st Resurrection – Revelation} Will all believers partake of the first resurrection, or only those who have been beheaded in the name of Christ? Revelation 20:413. 1:04:59 {About Matthew 27 – Holy People Raised} Can you please explain Matthew 27: 51-53? Hoping to get some clarity about the holy people raised to life. Where did they go? Did they die again?14. 1:09:19 {About “Divine Simplicity”} Do you believe in divine simplicity? If so, how do you reconcile it with the Trinity?15. 1:11:40 {Did the Covid Mandates Involve a Spiritual Battle?} A lot of believers seemed to believe the Church was being persecuted by being required to wear masks, meet in smaller groups, etc. Was a spiritual battle being waged in the Covid mandates?16. 1:13:51 {About being Used by God in our Lives} I see others being used by God, and I want to be used too. Because of this, I often struggle with envy, jealousy, & comparison. How would you encourage & help me grow past this sin?17. 1:18:27 {About the Death of our Pets} My cat died this week. Where did he go?18. 1:22:03 {How Should we Study Other Religions?} Do you have any recommendations for studying other religions and how to approach others with the intention to evangelize?

A quintessential Paul McCartney track, "The Fool On The Hill" lands in a dreamy haze on Magical Mystery Tour, the tale of someone who lives with their head in the cloud, not a care in the word, inspire of the worries of those who think they're....a fool. Is the song about the Maharishi? About John? Paul himself? Or maybe all of us? Paul's never quite owned up to the truth on it, but it doesn't detract from the fact that this is a beautiful song. But what DOES detract is the peculiar choice of a recorder, the loud, children's-anyone-can-learn-it-instrument, used for the solo section. Is that enough to take the listener out of the blissed out vibe the song creates? Joining us to tackle this discussion is Damon Johnson, singer/songwriter and guitarist of Damon Johnson and the Get Ready, and formerly of Alice Cooper, Thin Lizzy (and offshoot band Black Star Riders), and Brother Cane. We chat about The Beatles playing a big part of a child's first memories, from the spinning of a Capitol label, to crib calls for "Mysterytour!!" We also touch on balancing an ear for melody and pop while holding down a gig in harder rock bands, and his excellent new album, "Battle Lessons," which is out now, how the pandemic shaped the record and possibly his next like, 10 records. Pickup his new album now at damonjohnson.com, and be sure to follow along on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/officialdamonjohnson), Instagram (@officialdamonjohnson) and Twitter (@damonjofficial)!

Ashley Morgan and John Flanagan, of the folk-pop duo Faultlines, are causing a political storm with the re-release of their anti-Trump song, “Rain,” the first single from their next full album, Bittersweet Revival.  Many of the songs on the album speak out against the current political climate with messages of love, inclusion, and community. “Rain” focuses its spotlight on the threat to women’s, LGBTQ, and immigrant rights. “As we are approaching the 2020 election, it’s so important to remind everyone that we cannot endure four more years,” says John Flanagan. “Donald Trump is not a president for the majority minority of America. We want to encourage everyone to get out and vote.” About John & AshleyJohn Flanagan, a rock singer/songwriter best known for his Freddie Mercury/Robert Plant high notes and Ashley Morgan, a young artist who grew up singing in church, belting out Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston songs, make up Faultlines. Before coming together, John spent years in a publishing deal, writing for major label artists and Grammy winning producers while Ashley toured and sang back-up for major label artists and on TV for shows like The Voice, American Idol, and The Grammy’s. They met performing as front singers in a Top 40 cover band and connected on their shared obsession of Brandi Carlile.  When John later presented Ashley with some folk songs he had written that didn’t fit an individual solo project he was working on, they decided to record them together.  They soon released their first self-recorded EP, and their band, Faultlines, was born. Their unique brand of folk is a mashup of modern pop and roots country. Oddly, the duo has become known for their signature three-part harmonies.  To achieve their sound, they rotate between two talented guitarists, Sean Beck and Todd McCool (who sings the third verse of “Rain”). While their first two EPs are acoustic, Bittersweet Revival features a lot more instrumentation. There is a good amount of upbeat songs and ballads with the duo drawing inspiration from Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young, Joni Mitchell and, of course, Brandi Carlile. They hope the album inspires activism and encourages fans to make small positive changes in their community. “Folk music has a long history of protest songs,” Ashley points out.  “As Nina Simone says, ‘An artist’s duty is to reflect the current times.’ We feel it is our duty to use music to shed light on injustices. We want to bring people together and encourage them to have an open mind and to be inclusive because love is all we own.

In this episode I interview John Lee Dumas, also known as JLD, the host of the very successful podcast Entrepreneurs On Fire. John interviews successful and even famous entrepreneurs who give great advice on life and how to be successful. JLD started his career in the military, and then went into the financial sector of business, but felt unfulfilled in this field of work until he heard interviews being done with entrepreneurs and realized that’s what he wanted to do. One thing JLD always says, which is also a quote from Jim Rohn, is “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” We start off talking about people John has interviewed on his podcast including Tony Robbins, Tim Ferriss, and a large number of others, and those people’s different personalities. John tells us about the people he spends his time with and how that group will change and evolve over time. About John 0:16Welcome to JLD 3:44How often he changes the five people he spends his time with 9:44Yourbigidea.io 12:23“You need to come up with a unique, specific to you, big idea, and once you have that big idea that’s your zone of fire that excites you, that you’re passionate about, but you’re also giving value to the world. Then you can go off and conquer your specific niche.” 12:01https://www.eofire.com/@johnleedumasReach Out To Keith, Get Help and Resources: https://dincpie.com/

Modern manhood and traditional masculinity are under attack. There are reasons for this. But are they justified? Are the systems that exist within sports and army culture all bad? Are the criticisms fair? Is patriarchy all bad? Or was it a sign of the times and now we are re-adjusting? How can we create more civil discourse? That's right! On today's episode, we take a bit more of a traditional approach to the conversation of masculinity. I speak with John Currie, a Marine Corps veteran and someone who has put his life on the line for others. He approaches the discussion by dissecting both the pros and cons of a lot of the narrative that is taking place in social circles about the topic of masculinity. We also discuss the importance of seeking mentorship for young men and whose role it is to find mentors. Lastly, we discuss the German word "schadenfreude", the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, or humiliation of another. We talk about how this term is something we're seeing play out a lot in the current "cancel culture" and social media discourse world. You can learn more about these ideology and practice here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schadenfreude). About John! John started a connect with him (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johncurrieconsulting/) on LinkedIn here.

Today we’re talking with John Winsor on the open talent economy. John Winsor built a big publishing business around sports and fitness. He saw the business changing and started crowdsourcing articles from athletes.

Three years ago, John joined the faculty at Harvard Business School as a visiting executive and founded Open Assembly, an organization that hosts conversations about the future of work. In this conversation with Tom, John describes the shift to open talent. Corporations are interested in this shift because of the potential to get work done faster, better, and cheaper.

We’re in mental health and wellness month! We’re so excited to jump into today’s episode with you because we have on a very special guest today — the Angry Therapist! Seriously, that’s what he’s known as! John Kim’s no BS way of helping men and women find more happiness in their relationships and more purpose in their lives is so powerful. In his work, he challenges the conventions of what you think your therapist can do. He humanizes himself and shows up authentically and transparently for the world to see, which has led him to become a pioneer in the field of self-help.   In his newest book, I Used to Be a Miserable F*ck, John talks about his transition from misery to meaning. He shares his entire internal process from reflection to pain to courage and a rebirth. His book acts as a guide for men and speaks about the dos and don’ts for stepping into manhood, which he defines by transparency and strength of character — not a six-pack or a corner office.   We talk about so many different topics with John today and we get into some really deep topics that we’re sure you’ll really love! We discuss his career and how the moniker of ‘the Angry Therapist’ came to be, his own journey of self-discovery and personal exploration with manhood, the concept of toxic masculinity and how it is shifting in today’s society, current dating culture and the changing landscape, and so much more.

"You have to speak the language." "Many physical therapists put up their guard." "Most people are in dire need of enhancement of their physical fitness." "We have to battle test this stuff. We have to see if its warranted with the research." "It's infotainment" About John from www.drjohnrusin.com DR. JOHN RUSIN My name is Dr. John Rusin, and I’m not your run of the mill physical therapist.  After first mastering my craft as a traditional and hardcore strength & conditioning coach, I have transitioned my practice into the field of sports performance physical therapy. I now live and breathe all aspects of human performance, creating life-altering programs for an impressive and diverse clientele. My single-minded goal is to bridge the ever-growing gap between high-performance strength and conditioning and cutting-edge rehabilitation methodology for both elite strength athletes and amateur fitness fanatics. In a fitness culture full of downright dangerous and misleading information, I bring over a decade of high-level training experience along with advanced degrees in both Exercise Science and Physical Therapy to create the ultimate result oriented programming for my clients. This synergy of academia and in-field training experience sets the tone for intelligently designed approaches to fitness and performance. From NFL and MLB athletes to competitive powerlifters and bodybuilders, I have developed recovery, regeneration, and prehab-rehab programs for some of the world’s best power athletes. My game changing ideas that have been directly perfected over the years with thousands of my current and former patients and clients have caught the attention of the most innovative and impactful fitness media outlets in the world. Along with teaching these methods internationally, I have published over 30 professional articles that have left their stamp on an industry in dire need of a change for the greater good. All that being said, I am most proud of having played a key roll in keeping my clients and readers performing at the brink of their physical limits. Everyday I strive to give my absolute and unconditional best to better my clients, my community and the fitness industry as a whole, one success story at a time.

Sermon on Luke 1:57-80 on the Nativity of John the Baptist. About John's birth and Zechariah's song--how God has visited and redeemed His people. Sermon Talking Points Read past sermons at:   http://thejoshuavictortheory.blogspot.com Listen to audio at:   http://thejoshuavictortheory.podbean.com For examples of Zechariah's song (sometimes called the Benedictus) used in the living song of the church, see LSB 226, 238, 936. How is the remembrance of John the Baptist really about celebrating Jesus, the greater One he came to serve? How does Zechariah's song proclaim Christ? What does it mean to say that we live on a “visited planet?” Describe what Luke 1:68 means that God has “visited and redeemed his people.” How is this visitation different from other examples of “divine visitation” in the Old Testament? Gen. 11:5-6; 18:20-21. What was the purpose of Jesus' “visit?” In what way is Jesus intimately connected to humankind, so that He is not something utterly foreign to or “alien” to us? John 1:1-13; Col. 1:15; 1 Cor. 15:49; Gen. 1:27 How does Jesus secure redemption and salvation for us? Luke 1:71, 74-75, 77; John 1:29. How does this free us to serve Him “without fear”? What things might we fear in life? How are we delivered from these fears and given courage to face the spiritual battlefield of our lives? In verse 71 and 74, who are our enemies, or God's enemies? Luke 19:27; Phil. 3:18; Acts 13:10; Luke 10:18-19; How was that our natural condition before our salvation? Rom. 5:10. What is God's aim for those who are presently His enemies? Matt. 5:43-48. If they finally close the door to His mercy, and persist in hostility or enmity toward God, what is their self-chosen lot? 1 Cor. 15:25-26; Matt. 10:33 How is the Word light for us? How does Jesus guide us to peace?
