    The Holy Rebellion: Christian Williams on the Trinity, Fatherhood & Taking Faith Online

    What does it mean to have a Holy Rebellion in a world where conversations about faith can quickly become contentious?   In this episode of The Edlow Podcast, I sit down with Christian Williams, creator of The Holy Rebellion, for a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about Christianity, changing doctrine, the Trinity, fatherhood, prayer, and why social media may be one of the most important missionary fields of our generation.   Christian shares why he created The Holy Rebellion and why he intentionally engages in faith-based conversations with people from different religious traditions. We also get into some challenging theological territory—including how Christian doctrine has developed over time and whether the traditional doctrine of the Trinity is explicitly taught in the Bible.   But theology is only part of the conversation.   Christian opens up about the challenges of fatherhood, keeping prayer sincere, dealing with antagonistic voices online, and learning how to engage people who disagree with you without losing sight of why you’re having the conversation in the first place.   In this episode, we discuss:   • Why Christian created The Holy Rebellion   • Why he has conversations with people of different faiths   • Whether Christian doctrine has changed over time   • The development of the doctrine of the Trinity   • The question: Is the traditional Trinity explicitly biblical?   • How historical Christianity shaped doctrines many Christians accept today   • Sharing faith without being afraid of difficult questions   • Dealing with antagonists, critics, and contentious conversations online   • How Christians can disagree without treating each other as enemies   • Christian’s experiences and struggles with fatherhood   • How becoming a father affects the way we understand faith and responsibility   • Keeping prayer sincere instead of allowing it to become repetitive or routine   • Why social media can become a modern missionary field   • What ordinary believers can do to share their faith online   • Christian’s love of jiu-jitsu   • What it really means to join The Holy Rebellion   This isn’t a conversation about having every answer. It’s about being willing to ask difficult questions, listen to people who see the world differently, and still have the courage to talk openly about faith.   Maybe being a missionary today doesn’t always mean knocking on someone’s door. Sometimes it means being willing to start a conversation.

    One of a Kind: Rob Van Dam on ECW, WWE, Fatherhood, and the Greatest Comeback of His Life

    Rob Van Dam is one of the most innovative and influential professional wrestlers of all time, but this conversation goes far beyond championships and unforgettable matches.   In this episode of The Edlow Podcast, RVD reflects on his groundbreaking rise through ECW, the criticism he faced from old-school wrestlers for introducing a high-flying style that would eventually change the industry, and the challenge of adapting from the extreme environment of ECW to WWE.   He opens up about the disappointment of missing the first ECW One Night Stand, why his victory over John Cena at ECW One Night Stand 2006 remains the pinnacle of his career, and the backlash he received after saying that missing the original One Night Stand hurt more than missing WrestleMania.   Rob also shares the difficult story behind his WWE Championship reign being cut short following a 30-day Wellness Policy suspension after a cannabis-related arrest, and why he believes he was years ahead of his time in advocating for the legalization and medical use of marijuana. Today, he discusses his passion for cannabis education and why he continues to champion its benefits.   The conversation then turns deeply personal as Rob discusses the depression and heartbreak he experienced during his divorce, what he learned from being married to the wrong person, and how meeting his current wife transformed his life. He explains why he is happier than he has ever been, how becoming a father changed his perspective forever, and why real success has nothing to do with championships.   This is an honest, thoughtful conversation about innovation, resilience, redemption, family, happiness, and one of wrestling’s most unique careers.   Topics include:   * The evolution of ECW and becoming a “hardcore” wrestler * Revolutionizing wrestling with a new in-ring style * Adjusting from ECW to WWE * ECW One Night Stand and defeating John Cena * The WWE Championship and Wellness Policy suspension * Cannabis advocacy and changing public opinion * Divorce, depression, and finding love again * Fatherhood and personal growth * Life after wrestling and lasting happiness

Autumn opens up about the challenges of balancing a growing online platform with raising her family, the fear that her children might one day feel burdened by her public work, and how she ultimately came to see that living her faith publicly can be a powerful example for them.   In a candid and inspiring conversation, we also discuss:   * How daily scripture study transforms our relationship with God. * Lessons she learned while serving as a missionary. * The importance of repentance and embracing personal growth. * Her gratitude for her husband and the principles that have strengthened their marriage. * Her love of music and the surprising story of her pursuit of becoming a pop singer. * Using social media as a force for faith in an increasingly noisy world. * Why authentic discipleship matters more than perfection.   hether you’re a Gospel Doctrine teacher, a Come Follow Me student, or simply someone striving to strengthen your relationship with Jesus Christ, this conversation is filled with practical insights, encouragement, and hope.   If this episode encourages you, please like, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review.
