Have you ever made the wrong decision and things turned out badly – and now you feel guilty? But it’s not necessarily from a sin you committed? But even though it wasn’t a sin, you still feel kinda guilty? And I’m talking about more than just eating at Taco Bell. Maybe you made a decision [...]

96. Are You Comparing Your Spiritual Usefulness to Others?
04.23.13 – 1:24 am
You might feel a little bit inadequate when you compare your spiritual usefulness to others. Maybe you feel like you’re not quite as useful to God because you don’t minister to hundreds of people like your pastor, or you don’t bring dozens of people to Christ, or you don’t have an inconsistently updated online devotional. [...]
95. Why shouldn’t we tell people ‘Be Anything You Want to Be’?
04.09.13 – 12:01 am
A phrase we’ve heard since childhood is, “If you put your mind to it, you can grow up to be anything you want to be.” That’s why I became a cheeseburger. It’s a phrase that’s meant to inspire people to accomplish their dreams. But really it’s totally wrong. Sorry to be a downer, but you [...]
94. When Things are Going Wrong – How Can I Find Peace?
04.03.13 – 1:00 am
I haven’t been able to sleep well or even go about my day without my mind racing about a certain turmoil I’ve been dealing with. I’m sure we all go through times like this. And some of you have multiple turmoils you’re dealing with simultaneously. And no, running low on bacon isn’t a turmoil. But [...]
93. What’s the Quickest Way to Become Spiritually Useless?
03.18.13 – 12:01 am
There’s a ton of things that are awesome and you take out one element and it becomes useless? Like taking out an engine out of a Ferrari, or taking out the battery from your smartphone, or taking bacon out of a salad. It’s the same thing with our spiritual lives. There’s one super quick, efficient [...]
92. What Should I Do When Someone is Guilty?
03.05.13 – 1:00 am
There’s times where we jump to conclusions about someone after hearing one piece of information. Especially if they have history. So that doesn’t automatically mean that those tap dancing shoes that were found are mine. Our opinion of someone shapes how quickly we jump to a certain conclusion about them. All people have their own [...]
91. How Do I Deal with Arguments When I’m Right
03.03.13 – 1:01 am
We get in arguments all the time… who’s fault it was that dinner wasn’t prepared. What’s the best way to get to Taco Bell. What set of inoculations do you need before eating at Taco Bell. What’s the fastest route from Taco Bell to the hospital. I’m not taking about disagreeing – of course that’s [...]
90. How Do We Deal with Judgmentalism?
02.18.13 – 12:01 am
People are judgmental. Look, I know it looked bad. But there is a very good reason why I was wearing that dress. There’s a bunch of ways for people to end up being judgmental. Here’s a couple. 1. We just don’t know the other side of the story. Like you could come in from working [...]
89. Why is it that I don’t seem to sin less the more I spiritually mature?
02.14.13 – 12:01 am
I’ve been thinking… I’m probably the best Christian I know. Now if that sounds weird, well, it should. Deep down there’s an inherent contradiction by saying that. It’s kind of like that one incident in 2008 where a guy in a movie theater shot other people because they were talking during the movie. Granted, they [...]
88. What Do I Do About My Doubt?
02.12.13 – 12:01 am
Matthew 14:28 ‘Lord, if it’s you,’ Peter replied, ‘tell me to come to you on the water.’ When Peter was walking on the water, he eventually lost focus on Christ and focused on the wind and the waves, then started to sink. This is a great analogy for our own lives. Our waves are, “How [...]
