Sometimes we can allow guilt to break us down and never recover. But when we feel convicted, it’s the Holy Spirit letting us know that we’ve sinned and that the debt for that sin has already been paid. We need to enter everyday with the Full Armor of God to prevent Satans attacks on us for making us feel guilty. Guilt is of the Devil, Conviction is of the Holy Spirit.

Plato's CaveEp. 15 - Brandon Warmke: Moral GrandstandingIn this episode, I speak with Brandon Warmke about his new book, Grandstanding, which he co-authored with Justin Tosi. Brandon is a professor of philosophy at Bowling Green State University. I highly recommend the book, and I hope this talk does it justice. I very much enjoyed speaking with Brandon, and I hope you enjoy our conversation as well.

Just as we thought, it was random and as silly of an episode as we’ve had. However, Archer was able to be such a blessing (prior to his loss of focus) with opening prayer, Christian jokes, and his story of being bab-pa-times. Gotta love this kid. Thanks for listening in and supporting our youth and the sharing of their faith.
