But apparently, the plans God has to prosper us is only working for people like Leonardo DiCaprio and a lot of phenomenally wealthy people in power.

Life in a band, life around other creative types. Along the way we discuss what makes a good musician? Is it simply technical prowess? Surely proficiency is important and valuable, but there's more to that in the musical arts. Let's all learn to express ourselves creatively. We can't all be Rembrandt or Mozart or even Matthew Wilder, but we can all produce something from within ourselves.

Neal Francis (www.NealFrancis.com)
“I just wanted to be honest about everything, from my musical influences to my story,” muses Neal Francis. After years of dishonest living—consumed by drugs, alcohol, and addiction—such sincerity is jarring from the 30-year-old Chicago-based musician.
Born Neal Francis O’Hara, the piano prodigy found himself touring Europe by the age of 18 with Muddy Waters’ son and backing up other prominent blues artists coast-to-coast. In 2012, Francis joined popular instrumental funk band The Heard. With Fr...2021-04-0949 min

These podcasts will remain available at YouTube, but we will no longer be hosting them with podcast services starting in just a few weeks. If there one thing we have sought to stress in these studies, it is that each of us is responsible for, and will answer for, only one theology: our own. Do not surrender that responsibility to a system, a denomination, a man, or a catechism. Do the work! A patient, forgiving, and loving God rejoices in workmen who see to rightly divide the Word of Truth.2020-10-1440 minBrooklyn's Dad Talks About the BibleThe Treasure, The Pearl, and Stop With the Traditions of Men Already!Is Israel really Israel? Michael comes down hard on the side "maybe!" Well, I'm fairly comfortable saying that even if modern-day Israel is not a direct fulfillment of scripture, it's surely a precursor. God will fulfill his Word to Israel. He'll buy all the land to get his treasure, and he'll rescue his pearl of unimaginable value out of the raging gentile sea. Meanwhile, we need to stop pretending to be Israel. It's not just wrong, it's disobedience to the calling of this age.2020-09-2621 min

We pull the lens back on the entirety of scripture and universe in which it should be understood. The Bible is supernatural book. That doesn't only mean that is has miracles, but that is part of a multidimensional universe. We must see things from the prospective of humans on this earth, but we must also recognize a spiritual world which is very much in touch with our world. We dispense with the superstitions and traditions of men which permeate the modern church and try to understand how God uses scripture to explain the relationship.2020-09-0821 minBrooklyn's Dad Talks About the BibleStanley, Sheol, and Sheep...

Our faith and our understanding of scripture need continual growth. Hey, I've been wrong about stuff, but that's OK. We're very informal here at BDTAE, but the bottom line is encouraging Christians to make your faith your own. Don't just adopt a "system" or a denomination or a guru. I might get snarky sometimes, but I'm harmless! I'm just a guy, who writes songs, and I hope sometimes I make sense!2020-07-2718 min
