THE CHURCH IS BROKEN PODCAST

THE PITWALKER PODCAST IS HERE Apr 17, 2019

THANK YOU.

Thank you for listening to this podcast. Thank you for confirming that my message has value. Thank you for resonating with me and taking the journey together.

The Pitwalker Podcast will focus on the formula of the pit that I have pieced together over the last 20 years - the process of turning on the LIGHT in the DARKNESS and LIBERATING ourselves from PRISON into POWER and PURPOSE.

I have not asked for anything from you along the way, but have simply poured out my heart and sown into yours.

Now I have something simple to ask:

Final Episode – Expanding the Frame | 050 Apr 08, 2019

There is a season for all things, and the season for my Church is Broken podcast has come to an end as I have faithfully delivered that specific message that was in my heart.

In this final episode of the podcast, I describe the shattering of the frame by which I have lived my life for over 40 years and the process of stepping into a new, expanded frame – one that feels more uncertain than I have ever experienced. Through this journey I’ve realized that my calling is to a broader audience – any man or woman who is seeking to grow, to become more than they are today.

As human beings created in the image of God, we all have an innate desire and drive to grow. But growth is not easy. In fact, growth is often painful because it requires that we break through barriers, obstacles, habits, thought patterns, bondage, ways of operating, ways of seeing the world, darkness, etc. that keep us from becoming the person we desire to be. All these things that hold us back are the “PIT” and the only way for us to become the person we’re created to be is by walking through our pit. There is simply no other way.

Over the past 20 years of my life I have experienced walking through my pit 100’s of times and my engineering brain coupled with my healer’s heart has developed a process for pit walking, based on universal truths, that leads to liberation, transformation, and spontaneous growth for anyone who is willing.

If you are a seeker and desire to become more than who you are today, then join me for THE PITWALKER PODCAST that launches on April 15, 2019.

The LIE of Yesterday, Tomorrow and Fantasy | 049 Apr 01, 2019

On my family trip to Disneyland I saw this sign at the gate: “HERE YOU LEAVE TODAY AND ENTER THE LAND OF TOMORROW YESTERDAY AND FANTASY.” As humans we have been conditioned to spend so much time in the past, in the future, and in fiction that we remain in a cycle that leads to nowhere. To get where we want to go our starting point must be rooted in the reality of now.

RUST on the CHASSIS is a NO GO | 048 Mar 25, 2019

The RV saga continues as I go to finalize the purchase and pick up my brand new RV trailer home. Everything looked beautiful on the outside, but then I discovered a problem “under the hood” as I looked under the trailer chassis and saw that it was covered with surface rust and corrosion. Find out what I decided to do, and what we all must do with the RUST IN OUR SOULS.

I AM LOVE - BREAKING THE GENERATIONAL CYCLE | 047 Mar 18, 2019

The pain, the darkness, the process... This week I entered into one of the most profound experiences of my life to date. Walk with me through my pit, all the way into the darkness, to a taproot of pain, and witness the power and beauty that I found as my son freed me from a generational cycle in my family as he showed me what it is to love. To know that I am loved. To know that I AM LOVE.

When The Darkness Descends... | 046 Mar 11, 2019

The process of growth and becoming is painful. Think about a seed cracking open to grow, or a baby being born. Nothing about the process is warm and fuzzy. In this episode I’m going to bring you into my pain and darkness – not after I have passed through it and have a great story to tell – but right in the middle of it, as I am in the darkness of another cavern of my pit. Here’s the good news: I know the way to find the light and truth. I know that liberation and power awaits me. So listen in and stay tuned as this unfolds real time…

Sometimes the Voice in our heart tells us to do things beyond logic – things that make no sense whatsoever. In this episode, find out the latest leap of faith the VOICE lead me to take, the FLOW that ensued between my wife and me, and the DECISION we made together that will change the TRAJECTORY of our family’s life forever. As a LEADER, do you know how to be LEAD?

Becoming an INSTRUMENT of GOD | 044 Feb 25, 2019

DIVINITY is within us all, but many people wander through life and never access this POWER inside. When we’re truly in tune with GOD in our HEART, we enter into a state of FLOW - a state where things seem effortless and CREATION ushers forth from us without struggle. In this state of FLOW we discover what it means to become an INSTRUMENT of GOD, wielded by Him to bring heaven to earth. In this episode, I discuss my process to access FLOW as an INSTRUMENT OF GOD by doing WORK to make myself PRESENT and CONNECTED in a posture of SUBMISSION, and then making the CHOICE to do His will and not mine.

Is SHE your KRYPTONITE or your SUPERPOWER? | 043 Feb 18, 2019

As a man there is no greater source of POWER than when your relationship with your wife is aligned and in harmony. And there is also no greater source of PARALYSIS when it is not. This is because we are ONE with our spouse - a SPIRITUAL UNION created through the physical act of being "joined" to one another. The mystery of marriage is profound and deep. When it is on fire it activates our SUPERPOWER. When it is floundering, it acts as KRYPTONITE. Find out how I screwed up in my marriage in a major way by forgetting to take care of something so BASIC.

FACING your greatest FEARS | 042 Feb 11, 2019

We all have FEARS. Many of them reside in our subconscious based on past experiences that we may be completely unaware of. In order to conquer our fears and move into a new POSSIBILITY, we must first NAME them. Once we name them and begin to FACE them, we begin a deep dive into the PIT of our soul. It is in the PIT that we come FACE to FACE with our greatest FEARS and PAIN. Listen today as I walk you through my pit and conquering on of my most deep seeded FEARS, and learn how you can do the same.

WHO Is Teaching YOUR Kids | 041 Feb 04, 2019

WHO are you allowing to TEACH your children spiritually and WHAT are they teaching them? As parents we must understand that what our children learn about God and the Bible at a young age will have a significant IMPACT on their SPIRITUAL GROWTH throughout their life. I want my kids to learn the stories of the Bible, but I do NOT want them to learn DOCTRINE and THEOLOGY, because ultimately, I want my kids to learn to live a life of FAITH based on REVELATION, not a life of SIGHT based on INFORMATION. It may seem like a small distinction in what they learn, but the consequences can be significant.

Run with Endurance…For the Joy | 040 Jan 28, 2019

Endurance is the ability to keep pressing on even through significant PAIN and SUFFERING. In a biblical sense, Jesus is the living example of what it means to endure. So how do we find the POWER and the WILL to endure in the face of the most trying circumstances? Jesus saw a JOY set before Him that EMPOWERED Him to SACRIFICE Himself. When you embark on that next challenge in your life, what is the JOY that will allow you to ENDURE anything that comes your way?

F*ck Happy; CREATE JOY | 039 Jan 21, 2019

THE STORIES that we tell ourselves create our REALITY. I recently came to the realization that the stories I’ve told myself my entire life have ROBBED me of HAPPINESS. In COMPARING myself to others, I robbed myself of the ability to CREATE JOY. Where in your life are you doing the same? It's time to remove your victim mindset and begin creating the life that you desire. Today I challenge you to create a new meaning for the word HAPPINESS and RE-CREATE YOUR REALITY.

BUILD on a SOLID Foundation | 038 Jan 14, 2019

Anything we try to BUILD in our lives requires a SOLID foundation. When we set an IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE for ourselves, it’s going to take many evolutions to hit that TARGET. If you try to attack that CHALLENGE without first building your FOUNDATION, your dream is certain to crumble. Ask yourself: where are the weak spots in my FOUNDATION? Whether it’s in your body, being, balance, or business, fortifying these weak spots will propel you toward achieving your IMPOSSIBLE GAME.

Who Will You Become in 1 Year? | 037 Jan 07, 2019

Without the foundation of REALITY and TRUTH we established in the last episode, VISION is worthless. Once we’ve built a foundation based in REALITY, then it’s possible to reach into our heart and see a VISION of the person we will become. On New Year’s Eve I saw the version of myself that I will become in a year, and that person can be described in one word: UNSHAKEABLE. Today I challenge you to do the same. What is the one word that represents the person you will become by January 1, 2020?

Are Your Resolutions FANTASY or REALITY? | 036 Dec 31, 2018

90% of people who make resolutions for the new year will not last more than 3 weeks. Why is this? One big reason is that when people think about their goals – what they want to do and have, who they want to become – they operate in the realm of fantasy. And all you can build in the realm of FANTASY is FICTION. In the Warrior’s Way, we always start from the realm of REALITY, the realm of TRUTH, which is based on FACTS. If you want to build something REAL in 2019, get REAL about the FACTS in your life first.

Is it Time to Truly FORGIVE? | 035 Dec 24, 2018

For most of my life I thought that holding on to the anger of all the wrongs that had been done to me somehow gave me power over the people who had wronged me. WRONG!! Holding on was actually eating me up inside and hurting the people in my life I loved the most. But I had no ability to forgive. Finally, things got so dark that I allowed myself to be led through a process of forgiveness, and what I discovered LIBERATED me. Are you ready to finally experience what it is to forgive?

You’re NOT FORGIVEN until you FEEL FORGIVENESS | 034 Dec 17, 2018

Most of us have been taught to operate in the world based on our mind – our cognitive understanding, logic and reasoning. Most Christians have been taught in the same way, to understand that we are forgiven; that Jesus died for us and that once we accept Him, it is a fact that we are forgiven. Yet the moment we do something that causes guilt and shame, the “fact” of our forgiveness buckles under the feelings of our “sin.” Forgiveness must be EXPERIENCED EMOTIONALLY before it can become our REALITY, because what we know in our mind is an illusion, but what we know in our HEART is REAL.

You don’t have a BUSINESS PROBLEM, you have a YOU PROBLEM | 033 Dec 10, 2018

When is a business problem not actually a business problem? 100% of the time. Realizing that you don’t have a marketing, sales, systems etc. problem in your business, but that you have a “you” problem is one of the hardest things to accept. But the moment you accept that the problem is you is the moment you can begin to turn your business problem around. Listen to find out how my failed partnership brought me to some painful realizations that led me to where I am today.

Are you the JAIL KEEPER or LIBERATOR of those you LEAD? | 032 Dec 03, 2018

The expectations we have of the people in our lives are often the very things holding them back. For many years I imprisoned my wife with my expectations, limiting her in the pursuit of her passion and purpose. At the end of the day, we as leaders can either be JAIL KEEPERS or LIBERATORS of those we lead. Listen to find out how.

Where are you seeking salvation? Who are you hoping to rescue you? Are you blaming God or someone else for the lack of results in your life? Samuel breaks down what it is to take true ownership of our life and our results. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is GOD who OPERATES IN YOU both the willing and the working!

EXTREME LEADERSHIP | 030 Nov 19, 2018

Are you are a TRUE LEADER or are you a VICTIM LEADER? It all depends upon how you CHOOSE to lead. Samuel asks some tough questions in this episode that challenge us to consider the way we lead in every area of our life. Those around us can only operate within the frame that we create for them. It’s time to WAKE UP and become the real leader that our families and businesses and communities need.

GUILT, SHAME and DESTRUCTION | 029 Nov 12, 2018

Samuel uses an experience with his son to highlight the problem with operating from a place of guilt and shame in our life. When guilt and shame are the drivers to our actions, the end result is damage, even destruction. But when we use guilt and shame to fuel us to find the light within our darkness and pain, to find the lessons and revelations to transform our lives, the end result is liberation and creation.

Do You Serve Your Body or Does Your Body Serve You? | 028 Nov 05, 2018

Our bodies are the interface through which we experience everything in life - physically, emotionally, spiritually. Our bodies are the temple of God. Sam explores the mindset that allowed his body to decline from a weapon to an anchor, and how living the Warrior’s Way enabled him to reclaim his body. Every day we have an opportunity to access power in and through or bodies so that they serve us as a tool at the highest level. It’s time to change the stories that have caused us to serve our body rather than our body serving us.

RESTRICTION is a LOSING BATTLE against ADDICTION | 027 Oct 29, 2018

Addiction, no matter what it is, cannot be overcome by restriction. Simply cutting something out of your life is not enough. You need to REMOVE THE TRIGGERS, BUILD NEW ADDICTIONS, and UNBLOCK THE FLOW to transform your life from a life of SEDATION ADDICTIONS to CREATION ADDICTIONS.

Exaltation through Submission | 026 Oct 22, 2018

Whether we like it or not, we are all set in a frame and subject to authority at some level. Jesus modeled the path of subjection, taking on the identity of not only a man but a slave, putting himself under men and never considering being equal to God something to be held onto. Ultimately He became obedient unto death, so God exalted Him, bestowing on Him the name that is above every name. Do you chafe at authority, at the frame that God has placed you in, or do you understand that the path to EXALTATION is through SUBMISSION and OBEDIENCE to the Father?

DYING TO LIVE | 025 Oct 15, 2018

Sam offers a different interpretation of a commonly misapplied verse about picking up your cross to follow Jesus. To deny ourselves to follow Jesus does not mean that we deny all the things we desire and find pleasure in. The true denial of self is to face our PIT and the fear and pain that lies within us.

The SPIRIT of TRUTH and the LIES and HYPOCRISY in the CHURCH | 024 Oct 08, 2018

In this episode, Sam portrays the feelings of the Pit - anger, blame, guilt and shame - that trace all the way back to the Garden of Eden and the aftermath of Adam and Eve eating from the forbidden tree. The cover-up and hiding began then and continue today in our own lives when we lie and hide, and ultimately remain trapped in the prison of our Pit and pain. The irony is that the church is supposed to be a place of truth where believers walk in the light, yet it is filled with the hypocrisy of people lying and hiding, afraid to step into the light because they know that they will be judged. Yet, when He, the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide us into all the Truth.

THE PATH OUT OF THE PIT | 023 Oct 01, 2018

In this episode, Sam continues his discussion about the PIT. It is universal - we all have a PIT and in order to experience LIBERATION and EXPANSION, we must walk through our PIT alone. Jesus faced His PIT at Gethsemane, and on the other side of His PAIN in the PIT, He laid hold of the POWER and PURPOSE to walk the PATH to which He had been called. Our path OUT of the PIT is THROUGH the PIT, to FACE the PAIN, FEEL it, SEE it, RELEASE it, and then, SUBMIT to God in the PIT.

The TRUTH Will Set You FREE | 022 Sep 24, 2018

In this episode, Sam opens up about three secrets he has carried with him for many years. Using the story of the guilt, shame and blame that Adam and Eve felt when God confronted them in the Garden, Sam demonstrates what it is to tell the truth and find freedom. Every one of us confronts an internal struggle when we set out to tell the truth, with our minds creating stories of fear. Telling the truth and trusting the Voice is a battle each one of us must face if we desire liberation from our self-made prison of lies.

POWER and PURPOSE in the PIT | 021 Sep 17, 2018

In this episode, Sam continues his discussion of the pit. Without darkness, there is no light. Without pain, there is no power or purpose. We must cross the threshold and enter into the PAIN of our PIT before we can discover our POWER and our PURPOSE on the other side. Jesus walked into the PIT OF PITS, and by the POWER of His resurrection, He walked out of death, fulfilling His PURPOSE as a man. It’s time to face the darkness and pain of our pit so we can lay hold of our true power and purpose.

The PORTAL TO THE LIGHT is HIDDEN in the PIT OF THE NIGHT | 020 Sep 10, 2018

In this episode, Sam recalls a recent trip to Belize where he experienced absolute darkness for the first time. To be completely absent of light is not a fearful thing if we have gone through the process of facing our PIT. The only way to experience growth and expansion is to enter into our own PIT and walk through it. There is no other path. There is no way around it. Using the example of Jesus and His experience of passing through Hades, the PIT of PITS, Sam shows us that it is not the darkness we should fear, but missing out on the portal to the light, liberation, resurrection, and power that is only found by facing our PIT.

BREAKING the DEVIL in the WILDERNESS | 019 Sep 03, 2018

In this episode, Sam reflects on the past 12 years of his wilderness experience that started when God led him out of the church. Using the story of Jesus being led into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil before beginning His ministry, Sam challenges us to consider what wilderness experience God is leading us into. To enter into God’s calling we must experience a right of passage. To enter into our purpose we must pass through the pain, trials, and tests of the wilderness, and walk through victorious.

DON’T BE A JUDGMENTAL PRICK | 018 Aug 27, 2018

In this episode, Sam is blindsided by a phone call from a pastor who used to serve with him in church, accusing him of being bitter, angry, and deceived, and telling him to take this podcast down. Sam is confronted with judgment from someone who hasn't been in his life for over 12 years. Listen in to find out how Sam handled the situation and how he challenges us all to look at this issue. Do you judge? Do you try to remove the splinter in your brother's eye and ignore the log in yours? It is time we look in the mirror and own our bullshit. It is time we get real and stop judging people for doing the exact same thing that we give ourselves a free pass on. “For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.” ‭Matt ‭7:2

REJECTING GOD AND MAKING IDOLS OF MEN | 017 Aug 20, 2018

In this episode, Sam continues his discussion about corrupt leaders, pastors, and priests in the church, but uncovers the real problem - the people who follow them. In the book of 1 Samuel, God made it clear that by demanding a king, the people were rejecting Him and choosing idolatry. God desires a kingdom of priests who listen to His voice and follow Him alone, not a nation of people who obey and idolize men. It’s time to remove those we follow from the throne in our hearts and let God take His rightful place there.

If Your Pastor is Your Conduit to God, You’re F*CKED | 016 Aug 13, 2018

In this episode, Sam refers to recent headlines regarding the sexual corruption and abuse of men who are leaders in the church, and the systemic problem that this highlights. Using the story of Samuel at the end of his ministry in the Old Testament, he points out that Christians who choose to follow a man are no different than the Children of Israel who rejected God by demanding a king that they could follow. Just as our head operates our entire physical body, there can be only one Head of the Church. If you are following a head and not The Head, it’s time to turn your heart and re-enthrone The King.

Are You Willing to Kill Your Son? | 015 Aug 06, 2018

In this episode, Sam tells the story of Abraham and the pinnacle test of faith that he passed through in offering his son Isaac. Being put to such an unimaginable test caused Abraham to trust in God in a way that, for most, is hard to comprehend. Where in your life is the Voice commanding you to take a step of faith? Have you been obedient to the Voice, or have you taken matters into your own hands, not trusting that God will provide?

Encountering the VOICE of Truth | 014 Jul 30, 2018

In this episode, Sam reflects on a time when his young son, Jonah, became upset because of his inability to master the game of bowling on his first try. Even in our youth, we all begin believing lies based on stories in our head. As we grow and become aware of these lies, we seek any possible way to be free of them. Most of us have been taught that the Bible is the answer for our liberation. IT IS NOT. Only an encounter with God Himself, hearing His Voice of truth in our hearts, can set us free us from the lies in our head that have us in bondage.

Scripture is NOT The Word | 013 Jul 23, 2018

In this episode, Sam explains how Christians have been misled by the synonymous use of the terms Scripture and “Word,” which has resulted in great misunderstanding, mishandling, and misuse of the Bible. In John 5:39 Jesus rebuked the religious people of His time for this same approach to the Bible saying “you search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these (Scriptures) that testify about Me, and you are unwilling to come to Me that you may have life.” The Word, or Logos in Greek, is God Himself in the person of Jesus, not the black and white letters of the Bible. Approaching the Scriptures with this understanding will shift you from using the Bible for more knowledge to using it as a doorway and access point to hearing His voice, the Voice of the living and operative Word of God.

Your Father, The Devil | 012 Jul 16, 2018

In this episode, Sam examines how the father of lies is out to murder us all. When we believe the lies of the Devil, we become stuck in our guilt and shame, bound in chains, unable to become who God created us to be. Sam uses the story of the adulterous woman to show the power of the truth of Jesus that sets us free from the condemnation of others and of ourselves. Listen to the Voice of God Himself and true freedom will follow.

Lies of Conformity vs The Code of Truth | 011 Jul 09, 2018

In this episode, Sam uses the story of Jesus and the Samaritan Woman to illustrate how we are all conditioned to lie. The pressure of conforming to standards set by man and not by God keeps us from becoming the people that the Father is seeking - those who worship in spirit and in TRUTH. When we get down to the bedrock of truth in our lives, we begin to build upon a solid foundation so that what we build and who we become - in body, being, balance, and business - will not crumble or fall, but will stand strong and endure.

Suppression and Sedation - NO MAN IS IMMUNE | 010 Jul 02, 2018

In this episode, Sam tells his story of living with “blinders on,” and how that led to him burning out or burning down every area of his life. One of the biggest lies he told himself - that most men are conditioned by society to believe - is that it was not ok to feel his feelings, that he needed to suck it up. This lie caused him to suppress and this suppression drove him to sedate. It was not until finding the Warrior’s Way that he began to uncork decades of emotional constipation.

Violent Men, The War and The Warrior’s Way | 009 Jun 25, 2018

In this episode, Sam addresses some critics and sheds light on why he isn't an angry man, but he is a violent man. As believers, we are called to become Kingdom Warriors and to enter into the battle to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to the earth. This starts by bringing light first into the darkness within us, then into our families, and ultimately into the world. Let’s take up our armor and get into the fight!

Leaders and Laws - This is THE SYSTEM | 008 Jun 18, 2018

In this episode, Sam continues to challenge religion and the organized church. With James using his status as the flesh brother of Jesus, he emerges as the self-appointed leader in Jerusalem. Paul, of his own volition, establishes elders in the cities he preached in. And once established, this hierarchy became the means by which the Law was instated and imposed on believers. And thus, the framework of the structure, the system of the church, was born.

The Apostle Paul Got It WRONG | 007 Jun 11, 2018

In this episode, Sam contends that the Apostle Paul got it wrong by establishing churches – that he went beyond the bounds of what Jesus commissioned him to do in his conversion. Blasphemous as this may sound, Sam asks the listener to consider that Paul was a man, not a deity who never made a mistake and that the New Testament is primarily descriptive regarding church and churches, not prescriptive.

WAKE THE F*CK UP - WE’RE HERE FOR THE KINGDOM | 006 Jun 05, 2018

In this episode, Sam lays the foundation of his argument that the church is broken because God never intended for it to be or become what it is. In the Gospels, Jesus only uses the word “church” in two places because the church was not His focus, His mission, or His commission. Nor is it ours. Today we are NOT called to be churchgoers, church planters, or church builders; we are called to become Kingdom Warriors to enter the spiritual battle that is raging around us, fighting to bring light into darkness and the Kingdom of God to the earth.

I Will Be Pure | 005 May 28, 2018

In this episode, Sam recalls a Sunday School lesson when he was a boy that caused him to vow in his heart that he would be pure. This vow would ultimately shape his younger years and lead to him becoming self-righteous and judgemental toward everyone. Sam warns that every system has laws and that the system of the church has created a culture of law-keepers no different from the Pharisees of Jesus’ time.

A Father's Love | 004 May 21, 2018

In this episode, Sam takes his listeners on an emotional journey through a time which made him realize how much he had geared his life to try to earn the love and approval of his father. Yet one of the greatest gifts Sam’s father gave him was to not meet this need, because it drove Sam to seek the only One who could truly fill this hole in his heart.

Their Way is Not Yahweh | 003 May 14, 2018

In this episode, Sam shares some honest insight on how protecting the church has become more important than caring for its people. As an organization, the church is driven to preserve, maintain, and propagate itself, and as a result, church leaders are often driven to be less concerned about the people they are called to shepherd and more concerned about carrying on the traditions of the system.

In this episode, Sam digs a little deeper into how he was introduced to the church through his parents. Being raised in the church held his family together, but as Sam began to seek the truth for himself, he discovered a falsehood that would shake his faith and cause him to question everything he was raised to believe.

Origins | 001 Apr 30, 2018

In this episode, Sam shares how he went from a loving, devoted husband and father to an angry, dark, depressed man. Questioning everything he knew about the church, everything he had given himself to as a pastor while trying to drive out the darkness he was experiencing, challenged Sam in a way he had never been before. His journey begins here.
