#67 In Tate We Trust #3

#67 In Tate We Trust #3

Here is an episode I have been sitting on for a while now. I have been really thinking about what the Tate brothers have been accused of and I didn’t know if I should be posting about this stuff while he is in jail for allegedly human trafficking. In this episode of me reading his March email newsletter we learn some more crazy things about the Top G, Andrew Tate. How he didn’t sleep for 20 years, how he doesn’t believe in clinical depression, and how innocent men go to jail and come out and revolutionize the world. Oh, also God wants you to make money so you can get more powerful and fight evil. (Yep, it really said that.) Enjoy!

#63 Book Clubbing: I am a Church Member By Thom S. Rainer

#63 Book Clubbing: I am a Church Member By Thom S. Rainer

I am not a fan of this book and it was really easy to club it like a baby seal. I know that the majority of American churches today are broken and not doing the right thing but this is not the right book to set all that straight. I understand that the author is trying to bring restoration inside the congregation but this is not the right way to do it, in my opinion. This book should not be directed towards your new members. It should be rolled out to your whole congregation while you root out the cancer inside your walls.

#62 Firefighter Story: The Mustang Explosion

WAY back in the day (2006 or 2007) I was on a wild call. It involved nudity, police, bomb squad, and adult protective services. And this all happened over a 4 day period of work. It’s one of those wild weeks that happen so often in the fire service. My kids say I exaggerate too much but this is all a true story. Enjoy!
