The Believer, the Unbeliever, and the Inbetweener

Some of our listeners had asked us to discuss the topic of Roman Catholicism. More specifically, they asked us to address the biblical context of the core beliefs, practices, and traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. In response to listeners' requests, we dedicated this episode to answering some of the more commonly asked questions about Roman Catholicism such as, "Can you explain the Eucharist, and is it biblical?", "What is the difference between the Mary of Roman Catholicism and the Mary of the Bible?", "Are there any Catholics who are truly saved?", and so on. This show may be valuable to practicing Roman Catholics, Bible-believing Christians, and unbelievers alike.

This is part three of our three-part series on the topic of Freemasonry. In this episode, we interview former 32nd degree Maser Mason in the Scottish Rite and Shriner, Jeremy, who comes from a family that has been in Freemasonry and U.S. politics for generations. He spent over 15 years in Freemasonry before leaving it. He shares the perspective of other former Masons that this organization is deceptively conspiring to carry out a nefarious agenda to enslave the world by bringing about a totalitarian global government, currency, and religion. This plan, orchestrated by Luciferians, dates back to the times of Babylon. In this interview, Jeremy sounds the alarm on this global agenda and why you should care.

This is part one of our three-part series on the topic of Freemasonry. In this episode, we interview a practicing 32nd degree Maser Mason, Johnny Law, who holds dual membership in both the York and Scottish Rite in the state of Maryland. We get his perspective of Freemasonry which is that this organization’s purpose is to produce Freemasons and is a brotherhood that elevates human intellect and encourages its members to embrace a code of moral ethics, philanthropy, and to seek knowledge. He shares how Masons have their own “language” communicated through symbols and allegory understood by other Masons who know the masonic sypher. Despite claims that this organization is advancing a hidden agenda unbeknown to many of its members, Johnny has not experienced this during his time in Freemasonry. After listening to this three-part series, we leave you to decide the truth about this organization for yourself. We would love to hear your thoughts so be sure to share your comments below!

In this episode, we explore how having unrealistic expectations of ourselves, others, God, technology, and so on can lead to feelings of disappointment, anger, and rejection. We discuss how to identify our own unrealistic expectations and the importance of moving beyond the “shoulds”, “always”, and “nevers” that we tend to cling to in our minds and beliefs. When we expect others to “read our minds” or “to just know”, it sets us and others up for failure and reminds us that when we clearly and kindly communicate our needs to others, we can set our relationships up for success. We also identify the dangers of black-n-white thinking patterns and how learning to honor our own values and needs without guilt is a much healthier approach.

In this episode, we explore the topic of identity and attempt to answer the question, “Who am I?” This seems to be a question many find challenging to answer. Knowing one’s identity is an area of much confusion today. We hope that if you are not clear about your own identity, after listening to this episode it might become clearer. Our identity (who we think we are) is the driving force behind our thoughts, words, and actions and determines why we do what we do. During our discussion, we work through four steps that can help you recognize and rebuild your identity. The book referenced in this episode is titled, “Exposing the Rejection Mindset: Experience Love, Know Who You Are, and Empower Your Relationships”, by Mark DeJesus.
