“Selfie Stick Saints Pt.1: The Current Cult of Self” S3 Ep14 Jul 26, 2022

Show notes

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

The modern 'selfie' has established itself as the latest form of self-expression. Is it a harmless fad or a dangerous sign of modern society's growing narcissism? We are living in a “selfie” culture of self-centered, self-promotion, and self-glorification. We want to know ourselves; be ourselves; we want to snap ourselves. Authenticity and self-awareness are worthy goals and even biblically encouraged. But often without warning or intention, this drive to know ourselves becomes all-consuming. It’s near impossible to not be affected by the age of self in which we currently live, It’s the cultural air we’re breathing. Selfie Culture may be new, but Self-Obsession Is not.

Our proclivity of being self-absorbed has been around since the garden. Those who would seek these things are setting themselves up as the latest image. This fits in perfectly with the American idol of selfie culture, could not be more contrary to the Christian worldview - where self-fades into the background of the King of Kings and submits to the identity of Christ.

In this episode of KEEP IT 100, we will bring light to Paul's prophecy of the End Times characteristic bend, talk about the cult of self and the secret given to release Kingdom impact.

"Anointing Vs. Vibe Pt.2: Roe vs Wade & Convo w/ Brandon Gatson" S3 Ep13 Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

Great changes are occurring in our World today, which demand a power that is beyond the natural plane that many cling to.... In this hour we need something beyond, we need the anointing.

But many of us don’t really know what it is or how it operates. THE anointing is not some mystical something out there. Everyone is anointed for something…called to do great exploits … Every one of us has an assignment on our life. But not everyone feels equipped to carry it out.

If you don’t feel like you can change your circumstances, you get stuck and rationalizations feel like the only thing left to do.

Despite the situation or circumstances we are in, each of us has a divine wellspring of power within us. If we can tap into that sense of supernatural power, it can help us push past the loss of control and sense of uncertainty about our current situation, and we may just change history as we know it!

In this episode Keep it 100, we continue our conversation on the ANOINTING, how to increase, release and not cease in it, plus we interview Founder of School of Reform, Brandon Gatson.

"Anointing Vs. Appealing Pt.1: No Faux Oil Here" S3 Ep12 Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

There’s a permeating feeling of powerlessness everywhere around us right now. Over the last few years, people have begun to discuss and debate power even more furiously, consistently and desperately than ever before. With mass shootings, record inflation, wars, international crises, new threats of diseases, the price of gas and the unpredictability of modern life - things feel a little crazy right now. Compound that with all the negativity thrown at people from all angles since forever, many don’t feel empowered and don’t have a lot of faith in their ability to handle the challenges life throws at them.

Still many feel uncertain about LIFE, health, and even our safety when we leave our homes. Rather than feeling like we are in charge of our lives, we feel like we are on hold, waiting for something to happen, for something to change, or for things to get back to “normal.” It’s like we’re in suspended animation. This sense of powerlessness is common.

What if the ultimate POWER is lying dormant within you, or available right in front of your grasp? God has made provision for this hour with a heavenly catalyst called the anointing.

In this episode of Keep It 100, we will begin our conversation on the anointing, how to walk in God’s special power, breaking YOKES and the secret to real impact and transformation!

"Absolutes Pt.2: Truth is the New Gravity" S3 Ep11 Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

We live in a time of great anxiety over the role of truth in public life. Media and popular culture are saturated with concerns over “fake news,” alternative facts and conspiracy theories. There is widespread concern over the breakdown of integrity, HONESTY and trust in public figures and the so-called experts, ...

There is the increasing difficulty of distinguishing between true and false claims, and the increasing willingness of predators to take advantage of this confusion.

There has been a widespread abandoning of the idea of universal or absolute truth from numerous segments of the culture. Secular relativists, New Age, neo-pagan, and postmodern thinkers all assault by argument or accusation those who claim any certainty about truth. On the one hand, there are plenty of people who live their lives passionately defending their “absolutes” that reflect personal bias & opinion level assertions meanwhile truths that can be defended rationally are hypocritically ignored. All the while. the number of people in the United States who believe in the existence of God, the deity of Christ, and the resurrection of Christ is staggering.

But maybe the number of people who believe in absolutes over relativism, gravitating towards a code of some sort, might actually be growing.

In this episode of Keep It 100, we will carry on this critical conversation on Absolutes, Ultimate Truth and have a guest interview with prophetic voice and critical thinker Katia Adams.

"Absolutes Pt.1: Living in a Whatever World" S3 Ep10 May 17, 2022

Show notes

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

We live in a world that has dramatically changed its view of truth, resulting in an inherited value system that denies the existence of truth. Past generations of Americans viewed God as the basis of truth and morality. Not anymore. Hot topics include the chasm between the biblical view of sexuality and the secular view, which grows wider every day.

Every week there seems to be a new headline on social media about an author, blogger, musician, worship leader, Pastor or YouTube celebrity re-inventing historic Christian absolutes. The common thread in many of these stories is Progressive Christianity and cultural relativism. But what is it? Where did it come from? Is it really progressing? Why is it growing in popularity? And what has been its impact on society?

Historically, one of the most eternally significant questions in the Bible was posed by an unbeliever. Pilate— who turned to Jesus and asked, “What is truth?”

Two thousand years later, the whole world inhales Pilate’s cynicism on a hourly basis. Some say truth is a power play, a metanarrative constructed by moral types. To some, truth is subjective—the individual world of preference and opinion. Others believe truth is a collective judgment, the product of cultural consensus. Still others flatly deny the concept of truth altogether.

In this episode of Keep It 100, we will talk about Absolutes, cultural relativism, progressive Christianity and the timeless & tested Truth of God’s Word.

“Rest .. is a Power Move: Pt.2 w/ Eli Gautreaux” S3 Ep9 May 03, 2022

Show notes

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

We live in a world where hustle culture is huge. We’re busier and more stressed than ever before. Our commotion culture enjoys a lack of sleep as a badge of honor. Stimulants, like caffeine & Red Bull, provide the means to get moving in the morning; while sleeping pills, and night sedatives, allow us to forcibly shut down for some shuteye. Buying into the misguided notion that “You can sleep when you’re dead.” If there’s one thing we have lost in this past season, it’s our rhythm. It has been seriously upended. But now, as things are slowly returning, it seems as though we have less time than ever before. All of us are busy, feeling overwhelmed, and pulled in a million directions. Instead of living from a place of rest and purpose, we’re constantly putting out fires and powering through one more day. But what if we stop to rethink the rhythms in our life? What if we start getting intentional about what we’re doing—and why we’re doing it? What if this reset could actually position us to create a rhythm that brings us to a better place in our personal relationship with God than ever before?

In this episode of Keep It 100, we are going deeper in the conversation of rest as a power move. The life rhythm that releases results and have a conversation with university ministries powerhouse leader Eli Gautreaux.

“Rest in a Restless World: God Didn’t Create Hurry Pt.1" S3 Ep8 Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

#YOLO. #FOMO...We live in a driven culture...One ruled by hurry and worry. We spend our time talking about how busy we are, how tired we are, and about how little sleep we get. We hustle, we rush, and we cut back on sleep. We measure our non-existent R.E.M. by our wrist computers.

Simultaneously, We also are living in a very troubling time in the world. The atmosphere of our day has dramatically changed. The fast-paced world conditions have escalated from confusion to chaos,...this can be seen by events across the globe. Many are desperately dealing with the emerging variants of the coronavirus, bringing back economic opportunities, and addressing our deep-seated social issues and racial tensions...All are valid, but they remain exterior to the soul peace that can only be received from our Maker. Maybe the answer is not found in the common exterior solutions offered, but in a timeless interior discipline that the Ancients valued called rest....Bottom line our Shelter is not a place, but a Person!

In this episode of Keep It 100, we talk about the battle for your attention, Hurry sickness, and the crucial subject of rest in a restless world.

"Narratives Pt.3: Weaponized Narratives vs. the Metanarrative" S3 Ep7 Apr 05, 2022

Show notes

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

Since the mid-20th century, we have seen the medium of communication. News reports and data go from a dependency upon the printed page to the audio/visual, and now to the present digital age. The results have been nothing short of a seismic shift concerning the modern barrage of unlimited voices the average person must sift through.

Back in the day, you had to have a degree of prominence, be answerable, tested & have a telecommunication backing to get to be widely heard, now all you need is a social media account and typically no accountability and you can broadcast your ideas.

Bringing about a world that is filled with sub narratives, the side stories that are used to distract us from the BIG STORY, which is God's metanarrative. AND when sub narratives get elevated to metanarrative status, the ultimate conclusion is not just an out of focus existence, but an out of commission life.

In this episode of Keep It 100, we will conclude our conversation on Narratives, talk about the most dangerous narrative of all and conclude with some takeaways to fortify you in the battle for your narratives.

"Caught Up in the Narrative Pt.2: Gen Z w/ Andy Byrd" S3 Ep6 Mar 22, 2022

Show notes

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

Long before the term “influencer” was coined, young people played that societal role by creating and interpreting trends. Now a new generation of influencers has come on the scene. Members of Gen Z are true digital natives, from the crib they have been exposed to the internet, to social networks, and to mobile systems

Now Generation Z is officially the largest generation in the world today. They are creative, driven, entrepreneurial, inquisitive and spiritual. They are coming of age in the midst of the most unique time. This generation is surrounded by a crisis cocktail of a global pandemic, racial tensions, political upheaval, economic unrest, and possibly on the brink WWIII.

Yet the greatest battle will be an ideological one fought between the policy of the culture and the prophecy of the Kingdom. In this episode of Keep It 100, we will build on the conversation of “caught up in the narrative”, hit the table on this pivotal emerging generation, and have an epic conversation with YWAM’s Andy Byrd.

"Caught in the Narrative Pt.1: Bad Ideas Have Victims" S3 Ep5 Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

In a world where power is often interpreted as the ability to exert physical and political influence over one’s enemies, it is important not to ignore a very different sort of battle space: the fight over perceptions and the struggle to influence ideas.

In this arena, narratives can be as powerful as physical force, but where physical force is often a tangible battle; narratives are an intangible one! false narratives are running rampant. Divisiveness is growing. Tempers are flaring as a stress-induced fog has clouded our sight!

This is a time when we are all vulnerable to embracing stories based on our emotions and fears--stories that confirm our beliefs and rationalize our behavior—rather than clear-headed analysis. In this episode of, "Keep It 100", we will talk about the narratives battling for your allegiance and the timeless story which can unshackle us!
