Spiritual Growth is Not Linear

It's one of those questions you've probably asked in your head but never out loud. "Why should God get the credit if I worked hard and earned it myself?". In this episode I want to help navigate us through answering this question with a story out of Daniel 4 surrounding King Nebuchadnezzar.    Read: Daniel 4:1–33,   Consider donating to UN-ASSOCIATED!: https://www.un-associated.com/donate/   Learn more about my personal ministry vision and support here!

Spiritual growth isn't easy to come by, and is a lot harder to maintain – especially after you fall short in an area you thought you overcame. It's easy for us to get discouraged and quit on God after we experience dips in our spiritual growth journey, but I hope this episode can keep you encouraged and motivated to get back up and go harder!   Read: 1 Corinthians 10:1–13   The UN-ASSOCIATED Poetry Jam on August 30th, 2025: https://givebutter.com/tupj10   Donate to UN-ASSOCIATED: https://www.un-associated.com/donate/   Let's connect!!

From MAGA culture to church scandals, the reputation of the Church is in the gutter and the image of Christianity in America is in crisis. Instead of making disciples, it seems the American Church has made more apostates than ever. In this episode, I talk about what it really means to represent Christ well in a time when faith is often confused with politics, hate, and hypocrisy. Instead of staying silent, Believers who see the issue have a responsibility to show the world who Jesus really is—through our love, our compassion, and how we treat others. This is a call to action to every believer.

In this episode of Churchboy Confessions, I ask the hard question: What does it mean to be the 'Christian choice' in politics? No, this isn't a political podcast show. However, as Christian nationalism seems to gain momentum in America, we believers need to have a talk about the difference between alt-right, conservative nonsense and true Christianity. Today, spiritual manipulation, political pandering, and misplaced endorsements are corrupting the Church and damaging our witness — especially among young Christians.  If you're wrestling with how to navigate faith in a polarized political climate, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what it truly means to follow Jesus over any political agenda.   Thank you for watching the episode!
