Did Jesus die on the cross? Was Moses influenced by cannabis when speaking to the Lord? Are Christian Churches embracing Cannabis? First up we meet the founding member of Christian Cannabis, Craig Gross. Once known as the “Porn Pastor,” Gross has a new message for Christian leaders. We learn how cannabis facilitated his personal journey and how he came to a cross roads. Gross once focused on helping porn-addicted Christians kick their habit. Now he is focused on how Christians can be healed by this ancient plant. Next we explore the origins of cannabis. Researcher Chris Bennett connects cannabis to world religion and how it spread from one culture to another. He speaks to how biblical Prophets, Knights Templars, and the Messiah himself, were connected to cannabis by reframing our trusted biblical stories. Bennett says cannabis has been part of human history from the beginning. The legalization of cannabis demands philosophical discussions and these two guests bring a deep conversion to what may be our most controversial episode yet.Music:The Drifting Cossackshttps://www.facebook.com/thedriftingcossacks/ (Yes we got a SOCAN membership to use this song all legal and proper like) Links:Craig Gross - Christian Cannabis - www.christiancannabis.comInstagram - @christian.cannabis Chris Bennet - Urban Shaman - www.urbanshaman.netAdditional Music:Desiree Dorion desireedorion.comMarc Clement - FacebookTranscripts, papers and so much more at: reefermed.ca

Toni and Craig Gross are remarkable people and hearing about their losing their son Frank in Afghanistan brought tears to my eyes, However, how they have handled one of the greatest losses a parent can have is a story so heartwarming that it has to be told. Tune in to hear how they have committed their lives to help vets much like their son, who did return home but needed help on their return.
Craig Gross was the founder of fireproof ministries and XXX Church. He ministered to people in the porn industry and did years of speaking gigs with Ron Jeremy who he became close friends with. XXX Church made porn blocking software and was the first sponsor of the BadChristian Podcast. Since we have last heard from Craig, he and his wife Jennette have experienced a tremendous amount of personal and spiritual change. They have ventured in cannabis and then psychedelics which prompted them to begin to deal with trauma they had both been suppressing. This conversation is them verbally processing and catching us up on their journey so far while still clearly being in the middle of it. They speak freely and unfiltered. The content of the episode may be triggering to some and includes trauma, abuse, and conspiracy theory type content, most of which goes unchallenged. We made the decision to leave the full episode uncut and unedited and will leave it to you to decide what to take in and how to process it.

In this episode the regulars, though prepared to talk with Craig Gross (founder of XXXchurch and Christian Cannabis), embark on a nuanced conversation about marijuana, and the questions surrounding its increasing prevalence in society - even in the church. Does it really act as an aid to spiritual development? Does it do more harm than good?

Send it!Craig Gross has been everything from a Christian Pastor, to the guy flying a “Cannabis is Spiritual“ banner over Coachella last year on 4/20.He takes us along on his wild adventure of a life that brought him to December 21, 2020…which is next Tuesday. It also happens to be the winter solstice, and the night that Jupiter and Saturn align to make one big megastar that scholars are saying rivals the Christmas star of Bethlehem. No star has ever shined as bright for probably 800 years.A lot of people in the spiritual space feel that this will be the day that the world will shift into 5D. What exactly is 5D?! Well, to be honest, I have no idea. Love and light are thrown around flippantly when I’ve heard people talk about the shift…”vibrational match” and “frequency upgrades” are too.To me, I feel transitioning into 5D could be as simple as a mindset shift. The old ways of our world seem not to be working for the majority of us any longer, and a collective recognizing of that notion could be all it takes to really shift. For Craig, he believes the shift will be more physiological. Maybe the Earth actually does change? Maybe some of us are a vibrational match for the change, and some of us are not? Who really knows? …But we have fun talking about it, and we’re going to have a fun night on the 21st celebrating whatever change, little or big, that happens.

So is there sexual activity in heaven? We hear from lots of contributors on this one. In the beginning all things were good. Food, work, companionship, all of creation, perfect connection with God, perfect beauty and I presume, perfect sex. Things got screwed up along the way, ruining everything; and most Christians believe Jesus will redeem “all things," enjoying them forever in a new, perfect world. Everything redeemed. Except sex. Hmmm. The only thing "off the table" is sex? That’s odd, right? It’s at least worth a discussion. Regulars Ellen Mauro and Pastor Chip Judd, a couple of priests (Fr. Wesley Walker and Fr. Chris Foley), Craig Gross, Preston Sprinkle, and more. Even Joey’s wife, Pricilla, doesn’t get off the hook on this one. Or should we say, since Joey had to talk about his proposal of sex in heaven with multiple partners to Pricilla, JOEY doesn't get off the hook.

Finally! A book for women to understand what men really think and process when they see women, images and more. Author Shaunti Feldhahn shares from her book co-authored with Craig Gross from xxxChurch- key findings all women need to know.
“Weed is just a plant growing out of the ground. I don't need a prescription for that.” – Craig Gross Craig Gross is the founder of XXXChurch.com and the new website ChristianCannabis.com, a site designed to start “A conversation that isn’t being had amongst believers who are both seeking to be faithful to the word of God and interested in what, exactly, this whole ‘weed thing’ is all about.”In this wide-ranging conversation, hear Craig share his history from foundingXXXChurch.com, how and why he first started using cannabis, his thoughts on how marijuana products compare to drinking alcohol, and much more.One of Craig’s main challenges is whether marijuana should even be considered a “drug.” He argues, “We've been fed a bunch of lies… weed is a plant growing out of the ground. I don't need a prescription for that. It's been there, and it's for us. And I think it's good. …It could be abused, just like we can eat too much of something from the Garden (of Eden). You’ve got to be responsible, and you’ve got to figure out like, ‘What's your intent, and what are you searching for? What do you want to learn?’"As with every episode of the Twenty-First Century Jesus Podcast, the goal is to have respectful and helpful conversations with people from all different perspectives and walks of life. Ultimately, the question is: what would a first-century Jesus say to a twenty-first century world, and for the purposes of this specific discussion, what would he say to his followers about smoking marijuana?

Disciple Up # 118 Can a Disciple Use Cannabis or is that One Toke Over the Line? By Louie Marsh, 7-24-2019 Introduction: Why I'm talking about this, why it's important beyond just the use of cannabis or any other drug. This whole discussion strikes to the heart of the Christian faith and of what is authoritative, Scripture or experience and culture. Links: News Article - https://www.foxnews.com/faith-values/porn-pot-christian-cannabis-marijuana-pastor https://christiancannabis.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6KJc5E1hEP5-cV3f3bTAJg https://www.xxxchurch.com/ https://fultonsheen.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strychnine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrocannabinol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Leary Introduction to Craig Gross. He's not the first one to advocate on the behalf of pot or cannabis being something Christians should use. He is the latest and he's got a track record of doing some good work in his former ministry XXXchurch. Read from article. The sound clips you are about to hear are taken from one of the videos he has on his Youtube page, links in the show notes. They are edited but I've tried hard not to take things out of context. Hopefully I won't be sued for sharing these, if there's a problem I will take this down and replace it with an episode without his sound bites. Introduction clip His explanation and defense of using cannabis; You don't need that your not a doctor clip I've done a lot of work - clip If you want to have a conversation you can't define people out of it just because they haven't used cannabis. I'm in the conversation and haven't and won't. So there's that. The Spiritual side of things Not replacing God with cannabis clip I've never been closer to God since I starting smoking cannabis clip Read from article about spiritual experience. How Do We Approach This? From a Biblical Perspective The Bible does not mention cannabis but has a lot to say about this topic. The Bible and Getting drunk or high Getting drunk or high is essentially the same thing. It is allowing a substance you put into your body to take partial or full control or you, alter your senses and perceptions and to do and say things that you would not do otherwise. Thus you are not in control of yourself, you and under the control of a substance. 1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise. Proverbs 20:1 (ESV) 20 Be not among drunkards or among gluttonous eaters of meat, 21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and slumber will clothe them with rags. Proverbs 23:20-21 (ESV) 29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes? 30 Those who tarry long over wine; those who go to try mixed wine. 31 Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly. 32 In the end it bites like a serpent and stings like an adder. 33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart utter perverse things. Proverbs 23:29-33 (ESV) 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, Ephesians 5:18 (ESV) Becoming intoxicated is a sin because it removes you from controlling yourself and from the Spirit's control as well, and puts you at the mercy of something else. Thus Paul's contrast between being drunk and being filled with (controlled by) the Holy Spirit. Using anything as a substitute for the Spirit is bad and should never be done by a Disciple of Jesus. But God created it! "Plants were created on the third day, and humans were created on the sixth," he said in part. "The provision was created before the need. God created the earth (and the plants) FOR us, BEFORE us." As Fulton Sheen said about strychnine, “I don't have to take strychnine to know it will kill me.” By the way according to Wikipedia, the most common source is from the seeds of the Strychnos nux-vomica tree. Not every plant is edible yet every plant is from God. Using Cannabis to Connect Closer to God is Sorcery. 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, Galatians 5:20 (ESV) Greek word for sorcery – pharmakeia. Refers to the wide spread practice of shamans and priests using local substances to put them into an altered state of consciousness in order to contact the Spirit World. Native American tribes here in the Southwest often used Peyote (from a small spineless cactus) to do this. This is done all over the world. Timothy Leary – Promoted LSD as a way to alter your mind, discover the truth, or God or whatever. When they speak of cannabis bringing them into close contact with God they are in fact demeaning the faith and reducing Christianity to the level of many other religions. One of the distinctives of the Christian faith has always been it's complete and utter rejection of using any mind altering substances. This doesn't change just because you like or enjoy it or found it helpful. Wrapping Things Up 5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 2 Timothy 4:5 (ESV) You can't be sober minded if you're not sober. The word there means self-controlled. You can't be self controlled if you are allowing another substance to control you. Either way you translate it, it effectively bans the use of cannabis or all other mind altering substances.

Making Elephants Fly | Conversations with High Octane Leaders, Dreamers, & Creatives
On this episode of Making Elephants Fly, Terry sits down with Craig Gross. Craig is a serial creator and entrepreneur. He started started speaking across the country in 1998 with his best friend, Jake. They called it “Craig and Jake LIVE.” and it eight years they spoke in front of a half million people. Since then he’s been speaking everywhere from churches, conferences, workshops, and many other events since then. In 2006, I was asked to debate the porn king, Ron Jeremy, in front of college audiences. That journey took him debating Ron at Yale on ABC Nightline and over 100 times across the country. Recently, he was featured at the Kajabi Impact Summit. He’s started a non-profit XXX Church addressing porn addiction, written 13 books over the last 17 years, recently launched two podcasts, helped a ton of people through masterminds and coaching, and launched a few businesses along the way. His podcast "Craig Brain" is a live look in as he fleshes out his next book and shares what’s inside his brain. Bottom line Craig is not afraid to get in the messy middle and break stuff. Speaking of breaking stuff his new project is https://christiancannabis.com and the Christian Cannabis Podcast. Where he’s sharing his story of and asking lots of hard questions. Even if you’ve never heard his name you’ve probably seen his work it’s been featured everywhere except Oprah. Places like CNN, FOX, ABC, LA Times, Time Magazine, and in the New York Times. We learn how to know when to start things and when to stop them and what happens when we say yes to adventure. We talk about everything from Kayne West to mentoring influencers. Craig has always asked hard questions and I asked a few of my own. Find out more at http://terryweaver.com and join Terry at the next Thing Event at http://thething.live .

Greetings Congregation, and happy Memorial Day! This week Jed flies solo, and is joined by Craig Gross, of XXXChurch fame and more recently, Christian Cannabis. Craig had a life-changing experience with Cannabis(the devil's lettuce) in 2013, and came out recently by way of blog post and website about his personal experiences and what he hopes to be "a place to start the discussion on the church". I had heard Craig speak on a few other podcasts, and i wanted to give him the perspective of an addict in recovery. It's a great conversation, and i had a lot of fun. Let us know what you think! christiancannabis.com churchandotherdrugs@gmail.com patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs storefrontier.com/churchandotherdrugs
Weed. Marijuana. The Devil's Lettuce. We have an honest discussion with Craig Gross on the topic of Cannabis. We talk about his new company "Christian Cannabis", promoting on 4/20 at Coachella, how we approach this topic in the church, whether Christian can smoke it recreationally, and the church's response to Craig's new company. Shane and Eric talk about their experience (or lack there of) as well as the feeling of "bad" they cannot shake when talking about weed.

During the hardest year of Craig Gross's life, he and his wife Jeanette found cannabis to not only help them cope, but to find a new way of life and a new way of thinking. Now they're out to break the taboo of cannabis use within the church to give other people the freedom to try something that might actually help them too.

After an intense discussion with Craig Gross over how you can reach the scene without being influenced by it, the regulars sat down to explain more of their views. Is striving to be holy important? Or is it just being religious? Should we really have standards in our lives? These questions and more are covered in this episode of Provoke&Inspire.But don't worry, it's not all seriousness, there is of course David's Random Story!
Craig Gross is our guest on the podcast, discussing how XXX Church had its start and what God has been doing through his ministry. The conversation heats up, however, when the regulars bring up one of Craig’s recent Facebook posts, and raise the question of how deeply we can immerse ourselves in a scene without being corrupted by it.
In the newest episode of the Better Together podcast, I talk about the following four bridges that build connection with our teen and adult daughters: 1. Kind Words - How do you speak to your daughter? What we say is most often a reflection of our heart, not our daughter's actions. Our kind words can actually heal the emotional and physical pain that our daughters experience in life. 2. Discover Her Love Language - Do you know your daughter's love language? Both of you can take the free test at the fivelovelanguages.com. When you invest 10-15 minutes per day in "speaking" her love language, you build resiliency into her life and she'll have the reserve to dig deep and tackle the problems that she's facing. 3. Ask Before You Accuse - How many of us jump to conclusions when a negative situation happens? We can build a connection instead of creating conflict when we calmly and kindly ask, "Can you tell me what happened?" and listen to what she has to say. 4. "Open the Door" - Getting our daughter to talk can be tricky because she has a lot on her mind. I share a tip to open up communication with your daughter. Listen to the podcast to find out more!

This week, I speak with Ben Sledge, Director of Operations for non-profit charity Heartsupport, known for their voracious hustle and drive to serve and show love to those in the alternative music scene. August Burns Red lead singer Jake Luhrs is often attributed as one of the central figures within the organization - however, Jake has always described Ben as his right hand man, and Heartsupport cannot survive without him (along with a few other core members). This is one of my favorite conversations that I’ve been a part of so far in 2016, and I’m very excited to share with everyone. We talk about: - Being on the road and how important cell phone coverage is. - The idea of being attached to your phone while at a show. - The art of “unplugging” from technology weekly and it’s benefits/challenges. - The in-depth story of how Heartsupport began, and how Craig Gross was involved. - Being an introvert (and how some lead singers identify as such). - The challenge of raising enough money to have a tent on Warped Tour (it’s more than you think) - The power of being a volunteer. - Why musicians spending time at the tent is of great importance - Living out the values of Christianity and “loving people without borders”. - Being nominated for an Alternative Press Music Award in 2015 and 2016. - The idea of being at Christian festivals and why they haven’t been there yet as an organization.

Shaunti and Craig have written a book called Through a Man's Eyes.

Craig gross of xxxchurch.com.com and x3watch.com talking about what it takes to get open and go small. Stubborn secrets sexually compulsive behavior is much like cancer. So How do we treat cancer? Identify it, then get to a trustworthy caregiver to treat that cancer. But how do we do that when most of the spiritual environment is not open, honest and accountable? How do we build trust with a culture that is, "Trust deficient" as far as religion is concerned yet very thirsty the saving grace of Jesus Christ?

I can get pretty passionate on today's topic. And that passion has even led to some “voice raising” at a casual friend gathering. Cuz one thing I won't back down on is the Gospel and sharing the good news with the whole world. We all are in need of a Savior. And no one sin is greater than another. Like Jesus defending the adulterous woman, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her” (John 8). After the men holding stones dispersed and Jesus dismissed the woman, asking her to sin no more, he said, “I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.” As followers of Jesus we do not walk in darkness, but carry the light of life. So many are lost, wandering in darkness, not because they are worse than we are, but because have not been shown the Light and love of Jesus. In today's episode I interview Catherine Smith, Strip Church Event Coordinator. She shares about their ministry to women in strip clubs. AND tells listeners how to get involved in their new initiative, Bright Lights, Big Cities. One of my favorite parts of this episode is realizing the special love moms have to offer a broken world. I pray God speaks to you through our conversation and perhaps moves you to serve in this exciting way. What we talk about: The unbelievable story of how the XXXChurch.com got started “People are not expecting to meet with Jesus at a porn convention.” The need the XXXChurch saw that no one else was filling The vision and goal of StripChurch to invest & build relationships The launch of Bright Lights, Big Cities–what it is and what they need When the leaders training happens and what's involved What you could do to help a team, if you can't commit to training Why moms minister best to women in the sex industry–the power of a mother's love “Don't blame the dark for being dark. Blame the light for not shining in the dark.”-Craig Gross, Founder of XXXChurch.com The resources available through XXXChurch for those struggling with porn addiction: X3Groups–accountability groups for men & women iParent.tv to help parents navigate technology X3Watch filtering and accountability app The difference and call to holiness for those within the church, choosing to follow Christ “We are not for porn, we are for people.” Connect with Catherine: Catherine@xxxchurch.com Links mentioned: XXXChurch.com resources–where to start 100 cities included in the Bright lights, big cities initiative Bright Lights, Big Cities Training Online accountability for every device–X3watch.com iParent.tv helping parents navigate technology X3 Groups for accountability

As a young pastor in Southern California, Craig Gross began to notice a recurring theme among those he cared for - a struggle with pornography.

Craig's ministry has opened many hardened and often broken hearts of those in the grasp of pornography to a relevant and authentic gospel they hadn't seen coming from mainstream religion. Craig has been featured in GQ Magazine, Newsweek, Los Angeles Times, New York Times and on Good Morning America, CNN and Nightline. His ministry is also the subject of an award-winning documentary and a recently released reality-TV documentary.

Craig Gross, the well-known pastor and founder of XXXChurch.com who was recently featured in The New York Times for his work with psychedelic medicine, is making waves again with the announcement of Christian Cannabis.Christian Cannabis offers high CBD, low THC cannabis strains cultivated specifically for Christian consumers and utilizes proprietary solutions such as their "Safe Scale" and "Know Your Cannabis" software. There are 13.5 million Christians in California, 6.8 million of which have used a cannabis product. Christian Cannabis wants to shine a light on a topic Christians are avoiding--their cannabis use-- and invite them to explore it without fear, shame, or judgment."There is, without a doubt, a spiritual side to plant medicine," said Craig Gross, founder of Christian Cannabis. "There are long-held stigmas and doubts regarding its use, especially in the Christian community, and it's preventing spiritual growth. It's time we acknowledge that God created plant medicine and Christians should have access to quality, safety, cannabis products made just for them.""I was a devote Christian and never thought I'd use cannabis," said Jeanette Gross, co-founder of Christian Cannabis. "But that was before I was diagnosed with cancer. I was faced with one of the most difficult situations of my life--trust plant medicine, which I always thought would alter my mind and make me feel out of touch with reality, or pharmaceutical drugs I knew would? I turned to cannabis and not only did it relieve my physical pain, it helped me open up spirituality. It provided me a way of coping with the depression, anxiety, and waves of emotions that accompany being diagnosed with cancer and it was key to my recovery after."About Christian CannabisChristian Cannabis is eliminating the barrier of entry for Christians looking to explore cannabis and positioning itself to become a billion-dollar nationwide brand by offering a full line of proprietary high CBD, low THC cannabis products unlike anything else on the market. With biblical ingredients, such as frankincense and myrrh, and products including cannabis incense sticks, Christian Cannabis believes it's time for plant medicine to be set free based on God's love and original intention. Christian Cannabis is led by a team of established industry experts and will be launching products in California and additional states in 2022 and a CBD-only line nationwide in the near future.
