    What Happens When You Die? Using Scientific Method

    Yes!  You are in!  Well, this one will definitely be different.  What happens when you die?  Is life a test?  We've tackled those subjects before.  However, I have never done it with video.  Gulp!  So, you get first access.  Bonus, the scientific method and actual math is involved.  What?  Faith and the scientific method and math?  Stick around and I'll explain more.Thank you Two Tall for that opening hook.  For those new, you can learn more about him by going back a few episodes.  Is life a test?  What happens when you die?  Deep questions.  How well can you answer them?  And I don't mean just blurting out, "There is a heaven" or "You are worm food..."eventually.  Can you back it up with logic, science and math?  I bet the average atheist thinks they can.  I bet the average Christian can't.  So that is what we tackle.  Can faith and science co-exist?  Absolutely.  Science is simply the pursuit of truth.  And good science will not be afraid to correct itself.  Good science cannot ignore math.  Good science should not be politicized.  We flawed humans do that.  So some of you have lost someone profound.  Some of you fear death.  Some of you are not so sure.  That's why this podcast started over 7 years ago.  And since we are trailblazers in technology... that's tongue in cheek.  I'm testing video.  This is where DeepHikes, Deep Bikes was born.  I got the vision to enter the wilderness and ask the toughest, deepest questions.  Questions that you can use at your next small group, date night or family event.  So here is the YouTube link.  Notice it is still unlisted.  Why?  Refinement.  Well, it also scares the crap out of me.  Part of me likes hiding behind a mic.  With video, you are literally out there.  Back to refinement, I'm GenX.  On this front, who better to ask for mentors than GenZ.  So special shout out to Tanner Dude and Antoine Dude to help shape these.  We'll see if we graduate to Tik Tok and Instas.  One thing I do know: we need more Hope on this broken, brutal frustrating planet.  So here you go.  Some hopeful Light for your day in a different way.  Oh and if you have suggestions for improvement, please let us know.  Simply comment in that video.  Bonus: You may have a Deep question.  If you think worthy, you are welcome to share.  Oh right, please find the link below...https://youtu.be/YZUo8JQF0RcNow, go, love, serve, encourage someone out there today.

    Theo Von: Wants a New Story

    Yes!   You are in!  In for a treat from a dude named Theo Von (making his FriDudes debut) and an anonymous caller struggling and wrestling.  So if that's you or you know someone like this.  I love the rhetorical question: Does this broken planet need more Hope or Hoplessness?  Here's some hope; check out how raw this caller and Theo are.   So real and raw FriDudes has featured a lot of pastors and very smart people.  Theo, that is one of my favorites plays of all time.  And special thanks to that caller.  To hear the rest of that call, here is the YouTube link... https://youtu.be/CihTN2GQymc?si=V28a0Hn9cIkM4FyZ Theo wants a new story.  Caller dude sounds like he wants a new story.  Anything is possible with God.  I think Theo's prayer advice is excellent.  He sounds as real as David or Paul.  Why do I do what I do?  That's what I heard.  Inviting him into the areas where he feels he is lying.  Most versed listeners, I bet you can relate to that.  If your pride allows it.  Do you truly want to be healed?  Confession, avid listener knows that I'm still working through stuff.  We are works in progress until the end.   Check Romans 7: 15-20 Getting Real.  Pursuing Truth.  We are in the Hope and Encouragement business. Either you want a new story OR you know who does.  Share what works.  Share that listen.   With my 20+ years of Dudes Ministry and Counseling.  Let me share a few more verses that come to heart... James 5:16.  That is exactly what you just heard.  Confess your sins to one another so you may be healed (a new story). Matt 19:26, Anything is possible with God. I have witnessed countless lives for the better.  Where that dude was, where Theo was—they are 100x better.  Why?  Jesus Christ.  You can debate God yet you can't debate results.   Caller, the reason that you are down is that I believe you are not living your full Purpose.  I know that may sound kinda hokey to some of you.  Yet that dude is down.  Period. So are some of you.  If you have a code then you have a coder and a coder designs for Purpose.  Theo is absolutely finding his Purpose.  He's getting there.  Oh yeah code, you have a code.  It's called DNA and you have about 3.2 billion pairs of code that define your strengths and weaknesses.  One benefit of AI agents and apps is that it can become clear to you that they are designed for a purpose.  So are you.   This podcast is full of new stories for better and stronger.  They are timelesss.  Go back and listen to Aftyn or Gary or the homies from the Central Valley or Scooter or BW going from the crack house to His house.  You can debate God, yet you can't argue their results via Christ.  Real results.  Reals stats for better. Ending on a prayerful Hope note...

    Church Hurt

    Yes!  You are in!  People can be dicks.  Yes, even people in church.  Why?  How?  Versed ones.  You know the answer:  Rom 3:23.  We are flawed.  Hence, that make church a room full of flawed people.  So how do we navigate that?!  Here is your Play of the Day...Yes!  Dr. Loritts!  One of my favorite teachers.  Find your favorite voices that motivate me to be more Christ like and less flawed.Here is the YouTube link for the entire message...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMXSBl9R99EIf you go to a bad restaurant.  Is that it?  Do you really swear off all restaurants?I don't mean to minimize your pain.  I have been hurt.  Yet I don't want to maximize your pain either.  Don't let that hurt become your God.  Rom 8:28How does anyone get stronger without resistance?  Content in all circumstances.  Philippians 4:11-13 New International Version 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

    BW: SWAT

    Yes! You are in!  Thank you so much for listening and when worthy, sharing!  Super fun to see some of those older episodes get further leveraged.  For wisdom never ages.  A lot of wisdom in those episodes by the Jogging Jesus, BW, Aftyn and so many others.  Getting Real and Pursuing Truth.  What works in life and what doesn't.  If you went to business school, you'll know the term SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats).  Well BW has his own version of with a twist and actually spells it SWAT, here you go...

    BW: Encore Love

    Yes!  You are in!  BW is back.  Here is his encore message on love.  Whether you listen to this before or after Easter.  There is no greater love than what Jesus Christ did for you.  Your choice whether to accept it and share it or not.  Yet you know I love my rhetorical questions, does this broken planet need more love or hate?  More love please.  Here you go...

    Casey: Is your Flock like a Flock of Seagulls or Geese?

    Yes!  You are in!  Casey, the Jogging Jesus, my brother from another mother is back!  No, he's not Jesus.  Of all my brothers over 5 decades, he is one of them that acts most like Jesus.   He's not perfect.  He simply loves like very few on this broken planet.  Special shout out to Creative Love Church in Bloomington, MN.  You are a good tree producing good fruit.  Oh and listener.  If you would like the YouTube link to this.  Simply look in this show description.  Casey even kinda looks like Jesus.  Here you gohttps://www.youtube.com/live/aPuAuMNicm0?si=JS7mYuvpjaKmpSImIs your Flock like a Flock of Seagulls?

    Two Tall aka Aftyn: Iron (Beautiful Chaos)

    Yes!  You are in!  Well, I was supposed to interview Spirit Filled Matthew and he got busy.  Many are the plans of men yet God's plans will prevail.  Pro 19:21.   That is a very important lesson to learn when your plans do not go according to plan.  That would help solve a lot of anxiety too.  Be prepared that your plans won't always go according to plan.  So what did God have planned for you and me?  Two Tall!  Aftyn.  What a bright light!  Oh and that new opening hook, that is him!  Here you go...
