A Redemption Story: On The Other Side of Alcoholism (w/John Kidd)

A Redemption Story: On The Other Side of Alcoholism (w/John Kidd)

Got together with a close friend of mine to record this episode on a beautiful thanksgiving weekend. John Kidd has made a big impact on me with his story and I know it will impact a lot of people out there. John is a carpenter, farmer, entrepreneur, and most importantly a believer in Christ. Like many of us before we became believers in Jesus Christ we had a past. I am thankful for Johns' willingness to get vulnerable with his past, in hopes that it will reach someone else who needs to hear it. While he humbly admits like all of us, that his story is still being written. He knows God can use him in the present as he continues to learn and grow.

Buying a house, remodeling, living with parents, learning how to be married, and how to serve God at the very top of the never ending list.

Here is a long awaited start to Season Two of ChewCreek Podcast thank you for listening! ______________________________________ Intro & Outro Music is by Thomas Reilly and Steven Irving, we hope you enjoy a new sound for Season Two! Lyrics to their song are below. ______________________________________ RESTORATION  by Thomas Reilly and Steven Irving  The sun it knows it's place Warmin my skin in the day The moon it steals from its rays At night to light the way At night to light the way The same it goes for the wind It blows and I breath it in Stops just to begin again Unseen but known like my sin Unseen but known like my sin. Watch the rain fall from the sky Means the world is working right Just like a baby's cry It's a signal for new life A signal for new life. Woah woah woah ______________________________________ Listen to the full song on soundcloud!

Balancing Life in an Unbalanced World & How to follow God in the Military (w/Brandon Larson)

Balancing Life in an Unbalanced World & How to follow God in the Military (w/Brandon Larson)

Live from the Wood Shop Episode 18, this episode was a good one to record and listen back to with @brandon_larson. In this episode you'll hear all about their decision to move in, and now out of a 5th wheel into a townhouse. We talk about how close it brought them as a family, and why they decided to move out. We also talked about the overwhelming, kind of unspoken pressure that life can throw at you to make huge life altering decisions. Things like finding a job, being a spiritual leader for your family, ministry, military, college, following God's callings on your life. All of this can, and will be extremely overwhelming. But how we handle it is what matters. This is why @brandon_larson1 wanted to record this months episode. It was a real down to earth conversation about finding peace in Jesus Christ without having all the answers. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Little Brains, Big Lust (w/ Zack Lacy)

Little Brains, Big Lust (w/ Zack Lacy)

This months episode is a very vulnerable topic for both Zack and I. But we know it’s something that most men are scared to talk about. That needs to change, in this months episode we had a conversation on the topic of pornography, lust, and sexual addictions. Don’t let the shame of this addiction stop you from talking about it. There is a way better life that Jesus is just waiting, and wanting for you to live. Now listen, reflect, and grow with us on this episode of the ChewCreek Podcast.

Cults & Christianity (w/ Darien & Kelly Gallagher) - Part One

Cults & Christianity (w/ Darien & Kelly Gallagher) - Part One

A very real conversation with Darien and Kelly about getting married young, what lead to that, and a faith from a different perspective. A cool part of this conversation was the big question we answered: How do we know when talking to others about their faith if they are talking about our REAL God or making up a FALSE God? Sometimes the most important part of our conversations with others are hidden in the nuances. In part one of this episode we get the opportunity to dig into the mormon faith, as well as other non-biblical faiths. In this we gain a better understanding of how important it is to pay attention to the little details. Thanks for listening and I pray this episode challenges a lot of people.

The Bible Is NOT a Science Book (w/ NIH Biochemist Jason Stagno)

The Bible Is NOT a Science Book (w/ NIH Biochemist Jason Stagno)

Many times in my life I have tried to make the Bible become a science book. This was wrong and something that doesn’t need to be done. God wanted there to be things unexplained for us to be able to learn and find out. In this episode with Jason Stagno who is currently working for the National Institutes of Health. We go into detail about why the Bible is still the most profound set of texts in the world today. Acoustic Music in this episode is played and edited by me.

It’s All Relevant (w/ Sarah Reilly)

It’s All Relevant (w/ Sarah Reilly)

Wanting to learn more about why we are on this planet is important. All of the things around us need to be taken into account when talking about our reason for living. My sister Sarah and I ponder some big topics this week on the podcast and we want every one to have that urge to learn more with us! God reveals himself in three big ways: through his word, through creation, and through his son Jesus Christ.

RVR Counselors, Brothers From Other Mothers & Corona Crutchin’ Through Life (w/ Jake Diven)

This weeks episode was a true joy, bringing some real light to everything going on in the world right now. I had been trying not to talk about the “C word” (COVID - 19) on the podcast because everyone already hears so much about it. But this week I realized this is something that needs attention, and I want the listeners to know how we are handling this pandemic. Enjoy this episode on your commute to getting coffee from your kitchen, and going back to bed because we want everyone to stay home and stay healthy!

Unity Through Army Chaplaincy (w/ Matt & Holly Deans)

Unity Through Army Chaplaincy (w/ Matt & Holly Deans)

Episode four was one for the books; Matt and Holly are two of the most honest and wise people I know. This conversation made a huge impact on many things in my life. And a big portion of this episode was about them feeling called to Army Chaplaincy and the struggles that came along with this calling. I am truly looking forward to others being able to hear this conversation. And my hope is that it impacts you in the same way that it changed my thinking. Now listen, reflect, and grow with us.
