The Techie and the Cowboy

By The Techie and The Cowboy

Hi, I'm Alastair Hunte, aka “The Techie”, together with T.W. Lawrence, aka “The Cowboy”. We’re just a couple of average guys on a journey to explore faith & the Spirit. Throughout this journey we came to see the need for a place to discuss faith-based topics related to the things that we face such as: things that challenge, things that empower, & most of all things that just confuse us. However, we wanted to talk about them in a thoughtful, nonthreatening way. We invite you to join us on each podcast as we explore our own stories, thoughts, & stories shared with us by others on their journey.

Episode 15 - You Don't Give Your Life to Jesus

Episode 15 - You Don't Give Your Life to Jesus

T.W. Lawrence, also known as "The Cowboy," was at a conference hosted by his church when he heard a phrase in a workshop that really challenged his traditional way of thinking.  The guest speaker was Pastor Larry Ragan from CULTURELink, Inc. He was talking about what people typically say when they are lost, and God is pursuing them.  A common statement that you hear about the transition from someone's old lifestyle to one of following Jesus (or to transitioning to a more Godly way of living) is, "...and then I gave my life to Christ."  Larry challenged this statement by saying, "The real question for Christianity is not, 'When did you give your LIFE to Christ, but instead - when did you give your DEATH to Christ?'"

We were so intrigued by this standard deviation from a phrase that we often hear that we agreed to do a podcast episode on it.  However, once T.W. & Alastair started exploring the topic - we realized that we were a little in over our heads.  So, T.W. took it once step further and invited Larry on as a guest speaker! 

We are excited that our listeners can hear more about this concept directly from Larry himself.

How do we overcome the stigma set by our parents? The Techie and the Cowboy talk about this & more in "Episode 11 - What People Think."
