The On God PodcastS.3 - EP.9 // It's Simply DifficultWell...for starters...we lost about 5 minutes of audio at the end of the recording...so the ending may seem a little abrupt.I guess we're living up to the idea of "It's Simply Difficult", LOL!

The christian continually faces the idea of "fruitfulness".
Are we bearing fruit as followers of Christ? Are our thoughts fruitful? Are our ways fruitful? Are the things we allow our eyes and our ears to partake of...fruitful? Are our decisions always fruitful?
Are many of the relationships we are in or that we may be endeavoring into...fruitful?
The idea of fruitfulness...or bearing fruit if you will...is a heavy concept for the believer.
As a matter of fact...it is such a heavy...2024-11-151h 12The On God PodcastS.2 - EP.6 // Risk vs. Faith#risk #faith #clash
Are you a risk taker or a faith walker?
Does "walking by faith" or "walking in faith", involve risk?
Is there a risk factor to "operating in faith"?
We would sure love to hear your thoughts on this?
Here are a few things to consider...
Risk is always 50/50. It's a bet. You are either going to win or lose. You are either going to get what you're going after, or, you are going to suffer loss.
Faith, is complete trust or confidence...2024-11-0854 minThe On God PodcastS.2 - EP.5 // Faith For The Journey#faith #journey #culture
It can feel easy for the Christian and maybe even for the non-believer at times as well, to have or express a belief that God has supreme powers or abilities.
But can we have faith simply for the journey we are on in life?
Are faith in God and faith for our daily lives the same thing?
It's almost like we're asking, as big and awesome as God is, will He and does He interact in my life on a daily basis, in all the seemingly mundane things...2024-11-0143 minThe On God PodcastS.2 - EP.4 // Kingdom Priority#faithjourney #healing #priority
The danger we all face, just like ancient Israel did…is that what was once A PRIORITY for us, becomes shaken and rattled for a season…destroyed even (for the Jews it was captivity and destruction of the 1st Temple by the Babylonians - for you and I it’s usually the shaking and rattling of our faith), the question becomes, how quick are we going to return to the priority…once we are empowered or enabled again to do so?
And what’s the priority?
God.
This isn’t rocket science, lol!
We believe there’s a prophetic...2024-10-2539 minThe On God PodcastS.2 - EP.3 // What Are You Gonna Do About It?#cultureofchrist #faithjourney #greatfaith
How do you wrestle with the concept of faith as a follower of Jesus?
When God doesn't seem to move according to our "faith" at times...when we are praying and believing, is it, "lack of faith" on our part that is the cause...or, is there something grander at work?
Is God "required to act", according to our requests, every time...when a believer prays with genuine faith?
These can be tough questions to grapple with?
Let's take a look the words of Jesus in John 15:4-8 | NLT.

Ahhh... well, the title speaks for itself.
We are not perfect. Let the truth bomb sink in, lol.
Being Christian does not make you..."perfect".
For those of us who have chosen to follow Jesus, we are still prone to sickness, sin and life, lifing at us.
There's not some special immunity that a believer has to life and the imperfections thereof. Trust me, it would be nice if there were.
So, where does that leave us? What advantage is there then to following...2024-10-1135 minThe On God PodcastS.2 - EP.1 // "When God Doesn't" | Massive Complications - Pt.1#culture #kingdomofgod #contextlogic
It's fall in Upstate, NY. It's the favorite time of year for a lot of native central New Yorkers.
We were supposed to have Episode 1 of Season 2 out in September 2024. That didn't happen (obviously).
You will likely notice the video is a little glitchy as well (just wait until you see what happens in Episode 2's recording, LOL).
Needless to say...it was a rough summer of sorts for us and it was a rough start to getting Season 2 of our podcast, up and running.
BUT...2024-10-0440 minThe On God PodcastEP. 9 // In The End, It's All Money#money #budget #genz
We love to have the money talk.
We actually planned on talking about money and finances when we were in the planning stages of this podcast.
Why is talking about money and finances so important?
Well, because in the end, it's all money.
Whether you have some or you don't. And whether you can create and live by a budget or you don't.
I was taught once that if you fail to plan then you plan to fail.
Now, we are not...2024-06-2851 minThe On God PodcastEP. 8 // He Wants Us To Choose Him#culture #podcast #influencer
Why do Christians believe that the Christian life and relationship with Jesus is good for everyone?
That's a million dollar question in and of itself.
Honestly, the best answer we could give is that we have experienced Jesus proving Himself to us.
God has proved Himself to us both on a personal level in each of our lives uniquely and we see the evidence of Him all throughout creation.
We see the Bible being played out in real life every single day. In our own lives...2024-06-2137 minThe On God PodcastEP. 7 // Try Doing It Different#culture #podcast #influencer
I once tried boiled okra when I was a kid. I hated it, LOL. It was slimy and gross.
As a kid, I grew up in the State of Florida, so as a southerner, at the time I didn't know, that was NOT the way to prepare okra.
Later in time as a kid, I was eating at a buffet and I saw what looked like, fried okra on the buffet. I was intrigued for sure.
So, I tried it.
My life changed in that moment.2024-06-1438 minThe On God PodcastEP. 6 // We Need Solutions#culture #podcast #influencer
It's SO easy to point out problems.
Almost anywhere you go today, you can find a "problem".
Where are the modern day problem solvers?
Where are the company of people who are endeavoring into creating solutions?
And NO, we're not talking about those who are actually creating more problems through protesting (non-peaceful) and inciting riots and looting. Those are NOT solutions!
Where are the next company of pioneers?! The next great minds of the times who promote a type of change that affects the...2024-06-0724 minThe On God PodcastEP. 5 // Are We Tearing Apart At The Seams?#podcast #culture #influencer
What are you known by?
What makes people remember you? What stands out?
Let me ask this way...
Are you known more by the good things you've done in life, good choices you've made...you're accomplishments and such...
OR...do people remember you by mistakes you've made...or outrageous events that have occurred or choices you've made in your life that have left a mark?
Maybe a little of both possibly?
Here's where we're going with this....
There's treasure found...2024-05-3135 minThe On God PodcastEP. 4 // Yeah, But Is It Good For Everyone?#culture #influencer #podcast
How much does it mean to you, to get your own way? Is that something that's important to you?
It's human nature perhaps for most people to like things done a certain way.
If getting your own way however, was to mean that someone else gets hurt in the process (whether physically, mentally or emotionally), would you still advocate your stance to get your way?
Here's where we're going with this...
We believe that there are breakages in the barriers of what's acceptable for the "common good" of everyone in the world today when...2024-05-2545 minThe On God PodcastEP. 3 // Live Skillfully#podcast #culture #influencer
We don't always make the best choices in life. People are prone to error.
The question however is, what are we learning from bad choices made in our own lives?
Do bad choices made in life have you feeling like you're in a dark place? If so...we get you... We've been there.
So, how do we get out from the hold that some bad choices have us in?
We believe exercising discernment is a good place to start.
What does that mean? Discernment...2024-05-1734 minThe On God PodcastEP. 2 // Who Do You Think You Are?#culture #wisdom #bible
Why would you choose to listen to us? After all, we're just 2 over 40 white folks from Upstate New York. What do we possibly have to say that could bring any sort of valuable context to the culture of today?
For starters, we definitely don't claim to know it all.
What we do have going for us however, is a lot of experience at living and our many years of walking with Jesus.
So...
If you're looking for something that's going to help you understand the context that culture needs today, a little better...we're glad you're...2024-05-1132 minThe On God PodcastEP. 1 // Trust Me, We've Been Through It - Pilot#podcast #culture #influencer
Welcome to our pilot episode of The On God Podcast!
Our desire is simple. We want to bring context to the culture of today. We believe that today's culture is missing context...and without it...we as people have a tendency to not make the best choices.
Week by week we are hoping to shine a little light on relevant topics of the present day, pulling from our life experiences and values of our Christian faith.
