Happy Tuesday y'all, sorry for the delay. We decided to be woke for a day and celebrate Columbus Day and not work. Anyways, we are back here for another week and in this episode the boys will be discussing pride and the cancer that it is to us as humans. But also, the goodness of Christ in the way that He came and has made it possible for us to become humble through Him. The boys also will touch on the beauty of forgiveness and living a life as Christ calls us to through His example. As always, we pray you are strengthened, challenged, and encouraged by this episode.

Happy Monday, folks! Welcome back to our wonderful Podcast, we pray that all of you have been enjoying a nice start back to the school year and for all of those home school families, a nice start to sitting back and watching the public school kids cry about how awful school is. Anyways, this week we are digging into a story about the true Good Shepherd, who allows us to all be decent shepherds. Our strength, courage, and confidence only comes in remembering the one who is continuously shepherding us through our every season.

Good Monday Morning everyone! We are all hoping that your labor day week went as nice and short as ours did and that you have found your way back to our Podcast ready to hear about how you're not David. I know that this is contrary to what you might hear these days in some churches, but, we strive for truth at The Cruciformed Life Podcast. Our world has been turned upside down by this teaching that we are David and that we slay our Goliaths in life. The truth of the matter is that the only one who slays Goliath is God.

And so it was, that heaven and earth aligned and children stopped misbehaving so that all of The Cruciformed Life Podcast listeners got their fresh drop, on the day they are supposed to.  Happy Monday, everyone! It's only fitting to start this with some laughs as in this episode, the sleep deprivation finally kicks in and gets to the boys. This episode is filled with lots of loopy giggling and talking about a sheep boy who would eventually become the greatest earthly King, before Jesus. The thing is that David didn't just become King after he was anointed he had to wait years and years and that's where we find ourselves most often - in the distance between the promise and the payoff.

We are not a Wednesday Morning Podcast, we mean it. The coffee machine seems to only work on Wednesdays though...just kidding. Thank you for enduring another two day delay from your typical Monday drop of The Cruciformed Life Podcast.  In this episode, the boys are going to discourse on the importance of Joshua's leadership to the Israelites, and what it means to stand firm and be courageous. In the book of Joshua chapter one, the Lord tells Joshua three times to be courageous, we know that any time in scripture where something is repeated three times - it's important. If it was crucial for Joshua to hear this, how much more vital is it for us in our day to hear this. As always, we pray you are strengthened, challenged, and encouraged by this episode.

Well, well, well, we are back into Season 3 here at The Cruciformed Life Podcast, and we are excited to bring you all some fresh content here on a fine Wednesday morning. Thank you so much for sticking with us as we have navigated some uncharted busyness in all of our family lives. And as per usual with any break we have taken so far, there is always either news of or a new baby announcement and this time Pat and his wife will be adding another little one to the ever growing group. In this episode, the boys will break down the kids version of the wandering in the wilderness season for the Israelites and the Ten Commandments. This story is incredibly humbling and challenging for us because of the fact that as much as we think we are better than the Israelites, we really are no different at all.

Happy Monday Folks! Welcome back to another episode at The Cruciformed Life Podcast, as you may have heard from Ben's update, this is a throwback episode that was originally recorded in May of 2021 as we wrapped up our first season. We never released this only because it never fit into our schedule, and although it still doesn't - why not just drop it? We figured we'd give you one more episode never heard before turning back the dial a little bit for a few weeks. We pray you are challenged and encouraged through this episode and our bantering on money and how to live in the light of eternity financially. Thank you for being with us, and don't forget to pray for us as we come back together to start recording again. We love all of you guys!

Happy Tuesday morning here to you all at The Cruciformed Life Podcast, our apologies for being a day late and a dollar short this week. Thanks for waiting an extra day to get your discussion dose from our three clowns as this week they ponder through the parting of the Red Sea. Many times we see this story as this miraculous event that we read as a nice story to our kids, however, we don't see it as a prophetic moment for our lives for God's goodness and his ability to be trusted in our lives. Many times, we become like the Israelites and get tired of the mundane and wish we were back at a different time, when really, God is calling us to trust him and see the beauty in every moment.

Happy Monday and welcome back to another episode at The Cruciformed Life! We are praying that you enjoyed your Easter weekend as much as we all did. This week is sure to be a packed episode as the guys tackle a very important story in the bible, but also, a very important issue with our own hearts. We all have a tendency to be knuckleheads and miss what God is trying to do in our lives at points, that's why it has never been as important as it is now to be in our word and in community and fellowship with likeminded believers to help keep our path straight.

Happy Monday and thank you for being with us for another episode of The Cruciformed Life Podcast. This week, the guys give their take on the story of Joseph and his time in slavery, imprisonment, and eventual rule as Vice Regent of Egypt. Moreover, they do their best to explain through the text how all of this wasn't just a chance occurrence or mistake - but that God meant for it to happen to show his glory to the world. This is a much debated statement throughout Christendom and in this episode the boys try to shed light on the beautiful, encouraging, and true sovereignty of God.

Good Monday morning to all of you, our apologies for the delay in the release time of this episode but it is sure to be a good one. This week, the guys give their take on the story of Jacob, Rachel, and Leah. The truth of the matter is that the bible is not about us, but this story is a good reminder of God's love for us and the way that he sees us in every circumstance and situation. This story shows us that His love for us makes everything about our past into a beautiful testimony not about us, but about the richness and grandeur of God.

Good Monday morning to all of you out there, this episode is sure to be special as this one drops on the morning of one of Ben's toddlers birthdays! Make sure you get on our social media pages or drop us a line @ thecruciformedlife@gmail.com and wish little J a Happy Birthday!! In speaking of birthdays and presents, today's episode is about a very special story, that being Abraham and Isaac on the mountain. This is definitely one of the most powerful stories from the perspective of a Christ follower as we always have to be willing to lay down what God is revealing to us might be an idol in our life. However, we also know that God is a loving and trustworthy God who always provides what we need as this story shows us. As always, we pray you are strengthened and challenged through this episode!

Happy Monday morning! Yes, we are aware that the Chiefs won the toilet bowl rabble, rabble, and how it doesn't matter because you're not here for sport - you're here to hear your favorite three amigos make fools of themselves on internet airways. This episode is sure to be classic as the guys tackle one of the hardest questions in our Christian walks: "can we trust God to do what He says?" This age old question haunts many of us over and over again as we struggle to stir our faith to trust God. The problem can often be identified though in the modern day church of HOW are we stirring ourselves? Is it the word of God or not? The word of the Lord is truly the only guarantee we have in life, let us never forget that. As always, we pray you are strengthened and challenged through this episode!

Welcome back for another week here at The Cruciformed Life Podcast! This week the boys tackle the classic story of The Tower of Babel. There's not many stories in the bible that connect with our modern day times as much as this story truly does because of the main issue within the hearts of the people -- pride. We spend our lives in the most individualistic times where our entire focus is on ourselves and our own betterment. We forget that we need to keep our hearts in line with Christ and His will not our own plans for our lives. As always, we pray you are strengthened and challenged through this episode!

Welcome back for another week here at The Cruciformed Life Podcast! This week we have a special episode for all of you listeners as the guys will go through the story of Noah's Ark this fabulous Monday morning. Noah's Ark seems like a story that is just reserved for kids but the truth of the matter is that it is a story that is ever prevalent for Men in this time. Today's episode, and the story in reference is truly about courage, obedience, and persistence to honor the Lord - no matter what the cost. In our current culture, it's very easy to balk at the words in scripture which tells us how to live because if we really read them, it's going to make us quite uncomfortable at times. Noah serves as a beacon for many of us to press forward no matter the discouragement or mockery we face for living a life sold out for the cause of Christ.

Happy New Year to you and yours from all of us here at The Cruciformed Life! We pray you had a wonderful Christmas and have entered into this wonderful new year of 2023 ready to dive in to another episode of your favorite podcast. This week the guys have the task about talking on what went wrong for Adam and Eve and what actually continues to go wrong for us even today. This story isn't just about an event thousands and thousands of years ago but it's also about our every day walk and how our lack of obedience to God's word impacts our lives.

It's Christmas week and we know that on the top of your Christmas list this was a fresh episode of The Cruciformed Life Podcast! We are a day late due to dad-brain but we pray that you can give us grace and still enjoy this wonderful episode on a snowy Tuesday morning. This week the guys are tackling the issue of creation and how our culture has tried to infiltrate God's design, and even how we are letting culture infuse itself into what we know to be true. Unfortunately something so black and white has become a massive hot-button issue, or even, cancel culture type of issue in this world. We pray that your faith is strengthened and you take up the cause of truth in a deeper form from hearing this. Have a Merry Christmas! See you next year!

We are back again!!! We here at The Cruciformed Life know how much you have missed the guys and all of their bantering back and forth about Jesus and we are so excited to drop this first episode of Season 3 for you on this wonderful Monday morning here in December! This season is going to be an amazing one for sure as the guys are changing up the pace a little bit for all of you listeners. After spending so much time going through a deep dive into one of the greatest passages in scripture for Season 2 in The Sermon on The Mount, this season the fellas are gonna nosedive through the Jesus Storybook Bible! It may seem strange to go from a deep level look at scripture all the way to a children's book, however, the best part of the gospel that the guys want to highlight is it's simplicity. The way that you can find the greatest wonder of Jesus in the simplest of sentences meant for a 3 year old. Buckle up your seat belts folks, it's going to be an amazing season on The Cruciformed Life Podcast. Enjoy this first episode from Chapter 1, The Story and The Song. See you in 2 weeks!

Happy Monday to you all and unfortunately, this is the end of Season 2 for us here at The Cruciformed Life Podcast. It has been an absolutely wonderful season for us to have dug so deep into The Sermon on the Mount and explore all that our savior, Jesus Christ, has said to us and how that should take root and shape our life. In this final episode for Season 2, the guys make the argument plain for us in regards to who is Jesus to us? Is He just someone with good ideas? Is He just a moral teacher? Or is He truly the Messiah and if so, shouldn't His words rule our life? More importantly, shouldn't He rule our life? As a listener, only you can decide that for yourself. As always, we pray you are blessed and challenged to dig into your faith more by this episode. See you in the fall for Season 3!!

Happy Monday to all of our wonderful listeners, unfortunately for many of you this may come as a somber note to you all this wonderful morning as this is the prequel to the last episode of season 2 on The Cruciformed Life Podcast. It has been a wild ride for all of us as we journeyed through The Sermon on the Mount throughout the Gospel according to Matthew. We have covered many topics throughout this season although none have yet to be as important as this weeks because the guys will talk through one of the most challenging topics for us as Christian men today in our post-modern society -- what is our foundation? Are we men building upon the rock? Or have we built our lives upon fake rocks that are withering away in todays world? We do pray you are challenged and encouraged in your walk as you listen to this episode. Thanks for being with us! Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe on whatever streaming platform you use!

Happy Independence Day to all of you listeners!! On this Monday morning's episode Our hosts will be talking through the passage in Matthew Chapter 7 where Jesus instructs His listeners to beware of false prophets and to test themselves to see what fruit we are bearing. This is a passage of scripture that is truly crucial for men in this culture, regardless of our marital status. There are countless ways for us to fall into the trap of listening to false doctrine and putting our trust in teachers who do not preach Christ and Him crucified thus leaving out the true gospel. Doing this leads us down a rough path in our life and this teaching is a exhortation to be mindful of what we allow to impact us as men today in our culture.

Last week was Father's Day and this Monday morning is Frodo Day for us here on The Cruciformed Life. On this weeks episode the guys are bantering through The Golden Rule and also Jesus' call for us to Enter the Narrow Gate. Ultimately, neither our challenge to treat others the way we desire to be treated nor entering through the narrow gate can truly be accomplished without having our eyes truly riveted on Jesus Christ.

Happy Monday and a very, very happy belated Father's Day to all of our listeners out there! We so appreciate all of you and we really pray that we are able to make some form of an impact in your life! This week our three fine gentlemen are going to be discussing the text from Matthew Chapter 7 in which Jesus calls us to ask, seek, and knock in our prayer life. Many times, this passage is greatly taken out of context and we pray that we are able to shed some light from a perspective we hope to be biblically accurate. This text is especially important for all of us out there, especially those of us who are fathers. We do pray you are challenged and encouraged in your walk as you listen to this episode.

Happy Monday from The Cruciformed Life! This weeks episode is sure to be doozy if you are a sinner like us clowns. On this particular Monday, the guys are talking through the opening passage of Matthew 7 where Christ instructs us in our ways of judging others. This particular verse has been used so many times throughout our culture to justify people's own interpretation and desires for conduct in relationships but many times is taken completely out of context. Throughout this episode the guys try to shed light on the way Christ calls us to honor others in love rather than worrying about judgement.

Happy Monday from The Cruciformed Life! On deck this week is one of the most practical issues that there is for men and women in our every day lives - dealing with anxiety. It is somewhat of a sad truth but all people deal with anxiety in various ways and various amounts. It is the humble opinion on this show however that how we handle our anxiety and what we do with it ultimately affects how we can glorify God in it. The fact is that God is not far from us and is walking with the believer in every circumstance because of the Holy Spirit, and because of that we can have confidence in our heavenly Father.

Happy Memorial Day from The Cruciformed Life Podcast! We hope that all of your bbq parties go smoothly and what better to have playing next to you while you grill a fat steak than our series on The Sermon on the Mount! This week's episode will be a sure conversation starter for you if you do as the guys spend this episode bantering about money and how much we love it and hate it at the same time. The Lord is very clear that we cannot serve to masters in life and our daily walk is truly a living out of a surrendering to the Lord of what to do with our finances.

Welcome back to another week on The Cruciformed Life Podcast! The guys are back at it this fine morning beginning chapter 6 of the Gospel according to Matthew as we continue in our series on The Sermon on the Mount. This week the guys are diving into a topic that might not be the most popular topic to really podcast about being prayer and fasting, but focusing on the heart of the matter which is hypocrisy. So often we as Christians have to fight the temptation to have impure motives for the things we do -- to be seen by others instead of seen by God. The truth is that we will find the most joy and peace being fully known and seen by God, rather than men. We do pray you are challenged and encouraged in your walk as you listen to this episode.

Welcome back to another week on The Cruciformed Life Podcast! The guys are back at it again finishing our time in chapter 5 of the Gospel of Matthew as we conclude the first chapter in The Sermon on the Mount. This week the fellas discuss the topic of loving our enemies and what that looks like in our lives. So often we only want to love the people in our lives that love us and we don't want to love those who might be hard to love or just straight up against us. The Lord calls us to do the complete opposite in our daily walk, no matter how hard. We do pray you are challenged and encouraged in your walk as you listen to this episode. Thanks for being with us!

Happy day after Mother's Day to all of you, also known as Monday morning! Hoping it was a great day for all of your loved ones and that you have woken up ready to hear a great episode on what Christ had to say about retaliation! The guys are slowly finishing chapter 5 of the book of Matthew and this week talk about how we are called to respond when we have been offended and hurt. What does this look like in our every day walk? It's probably not something that we really take into account as we overlook this but the truth of the matter is there are some fairly specific instructions for us in how we are to live our lives. We do pray you are challenged and encouraged in your walk as you listen to this episode. Thanks for being with us! Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe on whatever streaming platform you use!

Welcome back to another week on The Cruciformed Life Podcast! Thank you for being with us this fine Monday morning as you listener to get to hear the regular knuckleheads talk through Christ's words from Matthew 5 in regards to taking oaths. This is an interesting topic because at first glance we want to ask "well is Jesus saying I can't take an oath?" and the answer to that is simply found in this episode if you listen!

Welcome back to another Monday morning with the boys! We pray you were able to enjoy Easter Sunday with all those that matter to you!

You can find Encounter Utica's facebook here as you can check out some of their powerful messages! As stated above, Pastor Tim joins the fellas this week as they conclude their conversation having to deal with one of the hardest topics Christ calls men to deal with in lust.

The guys all hope to shed light on this topic but point to the ultimate hope in it, Jesus Christ and the gospel he offers us.

For those of us who are still recovering from losing an hour of sleep, greetings Monday, as it isn't very happy today. However, if overpaying for your caffeine doesn't make your morning better, hearing this weeks episode of The Cruciformed Life Podcast surely will as you listen about how we are the equivalent of a wet towel at making reconciliation happen in our relationships. Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones says the following in regards to making reconciliation a priority vs. going through the motions: “Ceremony, regular attendance at worship, and giving will never produce a clear conscience. If we are at odds with others because of our actions and are unwilling to do anything about it, attendance at a worship service is an exercise in hypocritical futility.” Join us today as we challenge ourselves and all who listen to heed these precious commands in Matthew 5 to lower ourselves and care for our relationships in our every day walk. Not to mention, there is a special surprise for those of us that are fans of John Piper. You're going to love this episode and make sure you're back next week as we have another special guest!

Happy Monday! While we are all trudging through the month of March and desperate for Spring time, shake off your Monday blues with a sobering episode about anger and how we have a tendency to burn down a forest with the smallest spark. Bishop J.C. Ryle says this: "Of all the feelings that man's heart experiences, there is none perhaps which so soon runs into sin as the feeling of anger. There is none which once excited seems less under control. There is none which leads on to so much evil. The length to which ill-temper, irritability, and passion, will carry even godly men, all must know." Join us today as we challenge ourselves and all who listen to take a hard look at our anger and how we are allowing it to show itself in our life, and, most importantly, how we can see it be redeemed by Jesus Christ who took our shame and sin at the cross and put us back in right standing with God. We pray you are moved to grief and joy just as we are as we talk about these things! Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe on whatever streaming platform you use!

If you loved last week with Pastor Michael Servello Jr. of Redeemer Church, this Monday morning is going to be next level for you because...you guessed it...HE'S BACK for Round 2 with the boys! This episode will surely hit home for many of us as we discuss sanctification and normally it ends up looking like a toddler's drawing. Pastor Mike gives us some high level insight to what sanctification should look like in our life as well as what it shouldn't as we focus on the grace and strength that is supplied to us by Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. We pray that something in this episode stirs your spirit as you listen and that you may be challenged by what you hear as we have been ourselves!

Welcome back to arguably the biggest Monday of The Cruciformed Life Podcast since it began in December 2020! This week, there is a huge guest joining the boys as Pastor Michael Servello Jr. of Redeemer Church hangs out for a little while to discuss The Sermon on The Mount! This is sure to be a great episode as Pastor Mike will surely clear up and make it plain for most all of us what Christ is getting at as we move on to the further passages so we can understand righteousness and what Christ does through us.

Happy Monday and welcome back as we are back with a fresh episode of The Cruciformed Life. This week, our hosts discuss how Christ explained to us the type of righteousness that would get us into heaven. More importantly, that we can't even come close to doing it and how Jesus Christ rescues us in our daily walk to impute that righteousness to us.

Well, if you're in the Northeast after the amount of snow and cold of this weekend you might be looking for some early morning hope for this week. So what better than to listen to another episode of The Cruciformed Life and listen all about the law that we couldn't live up to. This week, the fellas banter back and forth about how Jesus Christ is not just the end of the law, but the fulfillment of it. The problem that can be missed is that it is sometimes a belief that the law doesn't matter any longer now after the grace of Jesus, but to that point, it is because of Jesus Christ that the law has that much more weight; because He sets the bar even higher.

It is the last day of the arguably most depressing month of the year! Tomorrow we enter the month of February and get another month closer to spring, but for today on The Cruciformed Life Podcast the guys tackle the topic of being the salt of the earth and what Christ said for us to be like out of Matthew 5. While we have found out that Ben is generally crusty, Pat certainly is quite salty! However funny it may be, there is an absolute command in the bible for us to look different than that of the world -- at times we just don't want to.

Happy Monday morning! This week on The Cruciformed Life Podcast the guys tackle the topic of having mercy and being a peacemaker, something that none of our hosts nor many of us do well at all. As all three have discussed many times over this early part of Season 2, Christ's commands in the beatitudes are extremely counter-cultural. If you can imagine how people reacted at the time of Christ's life and delivering of this sermon, it seems almost insane to read these words and think of how we conduct ourselves between those close to us and the average joe we interact with.

What are you starving for? Krispy Kreme glazed donut when the sign is lit? A fresh waffle with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top? Or is it righteousness? Is it a hunger and thirst that can only be satisfied from Christ? Although we certainly cannot do anything further to attain a better standing with God, Christ's commands are explicitly clear that we should love the things that God loves and hate the things that He hates and pursue righteousness. He also states that we will be persecuted for this, we just don't want to be. Through this episode the guys walk through one of the very stark commands in the beatitudes.

In our current culture there are many things influencing us on how we act as men. Whether it to be the macho man type or the opposite of that, this week the boys spend time discussing how Christ shows us exactly who we should be and how we should be as we talk about being men who are meek and mourn over our sins. The bottom line that we have discovered is that Christ does not make soft, gentle, and slow to respond seem like a feminine thing, it's a standard. We pray that you are challenged, stirred, and strengthened through this episode. Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe on whatever streaming platform you use!

It's January 3rd and like the three of us, you've already blown your New Year's Diet - so what better way to spend your Monday morning than by listening to the boys banter through spiritual poverty and how that affects us as men. Truth be told, this spiritual stance is much maligned by the world that we currently live in as we want to believe that we have something to offer God. The cold hard truth is that we do not and that is the glory of the Gospel. We pray that you are challenged, stirred, and strengthened through this episode.

And just when you thought your post-Christmas depression wasn't going to get better, it's Monday morning and there is a fresh episode of The Cruciformed Life waiting for your ears to hear it. We pray you had a blessed time of Christmas fellowship this weekend and that you are blessed by this episode of the usual banter between the guys. In this episode your hosts try to tackle the opening of where much of Season 2 will be spent, talking through The Gospel of Matthew. Much of this has to do with being intentionally counter-cultural in this crazy world we live in. As always we pray you are blessed and strengthened through this episode!

On the fifth day until Christmas my favorite podcasters gave to me, a refreshing episode on how to not be tossed and turned by the waves of life. We all now many are gearing up for the holiday weekend with presents, food, coffee, etc. but we pray that this year your holiday will be filled with the good news of the gospel as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. This week the guys banter about how we can practically pursue steadfastness in our daily lives and what that looks like.

As if your Christmas countdown couldn't get any better, here is a refreshing cup of spiritual coffee to start your Monday with less than two weeks to Christmas! In this episode of The Cruciformed Life Podcast, the guys talk about being steady and what that looks like in our life, especially as Christian men. We are certainly dealing with turbulent times in our lives now and we are truly striving to have Christ keep us steady in all that we do. We pray you are blessed by this episode and have forgiveness for our technical failure with Pat's microphone. The one closest to the soundboard was upset that no one brought a jelly bun for him and somehow someway sabotaged Pat's mic to make up for it. We promise it won't happen again.

Welcome back to Season 2 of The Cruciformed Life Podcast! In this shorter introductory episode to our new season the guys open up by sharing their thoughts on all that God did during the sabbatical break with new children, a new job, and still the same - if not greater consumption of coffee and donuts.

In this final episode of season 1 of The Cruciformed Life Podcast, the guys take a few minutes to look back on the opening season of this and talk about the ways that God has blessed them through this but more importantly look at the way God has grown each through doing this. One of the things mentioned is the hope that you as listeners would connect with us and share of any way God has moved in your life through this first season. Don't worry though, we WILL be back for Season 2 which will drop in the fall season! We look forward to hopefully connecting with you all and until then, God bless you all!

Welcome back to The Cruciformed Life Podcast! As season 1 of the podcast starts coming to a close the guys take a look at the topic of prayer. Prayer in the life of the Christian is of the utmost importance as we see that modeled in the life of our savior Jesus Christ.

The Lord's Prayer isn't just a prayer but more of a way of life. We pray you are blessed and challenged through this episode!

Happy Monday and thanks for checking out The Cruciformed Life Podcast! This week, the guys take a deeper dive into the ever important and not talked about enough topic of pride. The bible warns all people, over and over again, that pride is single handedly one of the biggest ways a man can be torn apart. As husbands, fathers, friends, etc. ridding ourselves of this is a never ending battle but because of Christ and the redemption set forth in the cross, we have hope!

Happy Monday! This week the fellas are talking about a super fun topic: discipline. Hope everyone caught the sarcasm :-). Through the sarcasm, God's discipline and learning to love it is a part of sanctification and having steadfastness produced in us through hard times. Much of this stems from the way that we as individuals view God, the father. Through this episode viewers will hear of various times that the boys have been disciplined and gone through difficult seasons where God was certainly teaching a lesson that ultimately led to His own glory. It was stated previously, but, when we face trials in life as men, husbands, fathers, etc. we are guaranteed to face trials but more comforting than that is that we are guaranteed the Lord is with us.

What Kind of Music Should We Sing in Church?Music for this episode was provided by “The Passion HiFi” https://soundcloud.com/freehiphopbeatsforyouHave you ever hear Bethel Music? Maybe you have heard the song "Reckless Love." The likelihood is real high that you have at least heard some songs from Bethel. In this episode author Richard P. Moore talks about what kind of music we should and should NOT sing. He specifically deals with Bethel Music and Bethel Church in Redding, CA that spreads problematic theology.Richard mentioned His Book "DIVERGENT THEOLOGY" You can find it on Amazon Here https://amzn.to/2JkzcbERichard also mentioned the book by Ché Ahn “Modern Day Apostles: Operating in Your Apostolic Office and Anointing” https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Day-Apostles-Operating-Apostolic-Anointing-ebook/dp/B07HTLXTF6/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=modern+day+apostles&qid=1572466883&sr=8-1Ché Ahn, is the leader of and self proclaimed Apostle of Harvest International and leader of Wagner University the school founded by C. Peter Wagner the founder of the New Apostolic Reformation. In this book, it is clear that Ahn believes in the “office" of apostle, and mentions Bill Johnson as an influential leader in the New Apostolic Reformation and even names him a “General in the movement.Richard mentioned the “New Age book wrapped in Christian Theology” called “The Physics of Heaven” he wrote a book review of it herehttp://richardpmoore.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-physics-of-heaven-book-review.htmlThe reasons we should not sing Bethel music are…If we would not commend the books of a given group, we should not sing the songs of that group. It supports directly or indirectly the ministry and global impact and growth of Bethel and its teaching I wouldn’t recommend the Mormon Bible or Mormon teaching, or Jehovah’s witnesses or the Watchtower magazine or the JW translation of the Bible. I would neither recommend Mormon music or JW music for Christian worship. The Music of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is excellent, but I would not recommend it for Christian worship, because it is not Christian. Just like I cannot recommend the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for Christian worship because the Mormon Church stands behind it, so also I cannot recommend Bethel Music because Bethel Church and its teaching, leadership and Apostle and Prophet Bill Johnson stand behind it.There is some good and some bad, and why should we make Worship leaders decide what is theologically good and what is theologically bad? For instance “Reckless Love” is a terrible description of God’s love, but there are other seemingly good songs from Bethel. So which ones should we choose? And can we make worship leaders (Usually not theologically trained) to make those difficult decisions?We shouldn’t sing Bethel Music because it could affect its hearers to engage with the teaching and the message that Bethel is communicating to thge world, namely the teaching of the New Apostolic Reformation (“What's the will of God? On earth as it is in heaven. If it exists there, it's supposed to exists here.” -Bill Johnson-)It financially supports Bethel: royalties, record sales, creating interest where others go and buy the music, and helping with overall popularityBethel music is a branch and ministry of Bethel Church in Redding, CA. Their music is wildly popular with Christians and sung often in churches worldwide. To give you a scope of the reach of Bethel music. One of their newer songs called “Reckless Love” is apparently the #1 used song with Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI). If anyone wants to display the words to any Christian song or sing it publicly they must have a CCLI license number and pay for that license yearly. Royalties are then paid to each artist according to the number of uses per year. That means that “Reckless Love” is the most sung, used, copied, or lyrically displayed song in Christian music right now. Conclusion, churches sing the song “Reckless Love” worldwide more than any other song. It also means that Bethel music and Cory Asbury (the writer of the song) are easily making millions.Author of “Divergent Theology,” Richard P. Moore wrote a blog about this song, because it is deeply disturbing to characterize God as “Reckless” in any way. Below is the link to the article. http://richardpmoore.blogspot.com/2018/06/is-gods-love-reckless.htmlFurthermore, 6 of the 12 songs on this CCLI list are associated with Bethel music, worship leaders, or artists, etc. Bethel is making big money on the royalties alone from CCLI and churches that buy licenses. Does the money that churches pay into CCLI support and benable the dubious and aberrant teachings, practices, and theology of Bethel Church and its leadersArius used songs and short tunes to spread his heretical Theology about the nature of Christ- here is an article on how Arius manipulated Doxology to manipulate and change Orthodoxy. https://www.johnsanidopoulos.com/2011/06/poisonous-songs-of-arius.html Below are a sample of the songs of Arius, which have been extracted from the writings of St. Athanasius: "And so God Himself, as he really is, is inexpressible to all. He alone has no equal, no one similar ('homoios'), and no one of the same glory. We call Him unbegotten, in contrast to him who by nature is begotten. We praise Him as without beginning, in contrast to him who has a beginning. We worship Him as timeless, in contrast to him who in time has come to exist. He who is without beginning made the Son a beginning of created things. He produced him as a son for Himself, by begetting him. He [the Son] has none of the distinct characteristics of God's own being ('kat' hypostasis') For he is not equal to, nor is he of the same being ('homoousios') as Him." Also Arius wrote a small song that went something like this…“There was a time when He (Jesus) was not.”Because orthodoxy is affected by doxology and doxology is affected by orthodoxyBecause you are overlooking hundreds of other artists and the creativity of your own church creatives in saying we are going to use other music outside our churchChristian Artists that Richard recommends…Worship artists: Matt Papa, Matt Boswell, Shane and Shane, Keith and Kristyn Getty, David Crowder Band, Seeker Servant The Silver pages, Celtic Worship, Keith Green, Aaron Shust, All Sons and Daughters, The Citizens, The Digital Age, Seed Family Worship, Young Oceans, Ascend the Hill, I Am They, Kenosis, Kings Kaleidoscope, The Modern Post, My Epic, One Sonic Society, Page Cxvi, Rend Collective, Rich Mullins, Rivers and Robots, Robbie Seay Band, Ross King, Sovereign Grace Music, Jon Foremen, Ascend The Hill, Bellarive, Indelible Grace Music, Loud Harp,Hip- Hop Artists: Trip Lee, Timothy Brindle, Tedashii, Stephen the Levite, Alert 312, Beautiful Eulogy, Braille, Odd Thomas, Sho Baraka, S.O., JSON, Hazakim, Andy Mineo, KB, Lecrae

SONGS WE SANG Who You Say I Am by Hillsong God Is So Good by Pat Barrett Almighty God by Sandra McCracken Immanuel by Loud Harp  TEXT Mark 2:15-16 TAKEAWAYS 1 Go where you go, but go differently. 2 Questions To Consider: Who am I avoiding? Who am I keeping separated? With whom do I need to have a 21 minute conversation? 3 Have coffee with two of your friends who've never met each other 4 Throw a party and invite people you're not sure will like each other BENEDICTION A Prayer of St. Francis Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
