    Episode 242: Bob Uecker Might Not Be in Heaven. And Neither Might You.

    The Milwaukee Brewers are in the World Series, and social media is full of memes showing Bob Uecker with angel wings, watching over the team from the clouds. Paul M. Neuberger is a lifelong Brewers fan, and he’s the first to say he loved “Mr. Baseball.” This episode is still about those memes.  Paul says up front that this isn’t an episode about Uecker’s soul. He doesn’t know where Uecker is, and he argues that nobody else does either. He uses the tributes to ask a bigger question: when we assume that beloved, kind, famous people go to heaven, what are we teaching about salvation? Paul argues that hoping someone is with Jesus and declaring they are because they were a good person are two very different statements. He also says the reverse is true: confidently declaring someone isn’t in heaven would be the same mistake.  Paul ties this to his own life. He talks about being a dad watching the playoffs with his sons, the achievements he used to measure himself by, and the 2018 season when none of that was enough. He keeps coming back to one point: grace, not goodness or reputation or applause, is what saves.  In this episode, you’ll hear:  Why Paul separates “I hope Bob is with the Lord” from “I know Bob is with the Lord because he was a good man”How celebrity deaths turn into automatic heaven declarations online, and why Paul calls that presumption rather than hopeA walkthrough of Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:23, and John 14:6 on grace, works, and why Paul says good deeds are the fruit of faith, not the price of admissionMatthew 7:13-23 and the difference between religious participation and following JesusWhy Paul says he’s not trying to condemn Bob Uecker or the Catholic Church (he grew up Catholic himself), and why he won’t speculate about anyone’s final momentsHow to grieve with people and still tell the truth, including when to sit quietly and when to speak publiclyA personal reflection on fatherhood, watching the Brewers with his sons Kennedy and Hudson, and what he wants his kids to remember about himWhy Paul says his own achievements, ministry, and platform can’t save him, and what he points to insteadBecome an official member of C-Suite for ChristSupport the mission with a donation (C-Suite for Christ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit)Learn about becoming a market president and leading a local chapterShop the C-Suite for Christ SWAG store (Serve, Worship, And Glorify) Key Scripture referenced: 1 Samuel 16:7, Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:23, John 14:6, Matthew 7:13, Matthew 7:21-23, Romans 10:9, Romans 10:13, Galatians 1:10, Matthew 5:16, Hebrews 9:27, Romans 5:8 Get involved Visit csuiteforchrist.com.

    Episode 241: The Gospel for Sale: Jim Bakker, the Prosperity Gospel, and the Business of Selling God's Blessings

    Jim Bakker died on October 5, 2026, at 86. Paul M. Neuberger uses his death not to mock a man whose fall from grace became a national scandal, but to ask a harder question: why did the theology that built Bakker’s empire survive him?  This episode traces the PTL Club from its peak, an estimated 13 million nightly viewers and a sprawling Christian resort called Heritage USA, through the 1987 scandal involving church secretary Jessica Hahn, the discovery of a ministry drowning in debt despite enormous fundraising, and Bakker’s eventual conviction on 24 counts of fraud and conspiracy. But the history is really a setup for Paul’s real target: the prosperity gospel itself, and how comfortably it still lives inside modern American Christianity, including, he admits, inside his own ambition.  This is one of the more self-critical episodes of the show. Paul turns the lens on his own history as a self-described “recovering workaholic,” connects it to the same 2018 season of depression and suicidal thoughts he’s referenced before, and asks listeners (and himself) where ambition quietly becomes idolatry.  In this episode, you’ll hear:  The rise and collapse of PTL and Heritage USA, including the financial numbers behind the ministry’s debt and donor fundraisingWhy Paul separates “money” from “the love of money,” and insists the show isn’t anti-wealth or anti-fundraisingCurrent survey data cited in the episode: a 2023 PRRI finding that 31% of Americans agree God rewards strong faith with wealth and health, a Baylor study at 17%, and a LifeWay study finding 69% of Protestant churchgoers believe God wants them to prosper financiallyWhy Paul argues forgiveness and restored spiritual authority are not the same thingA direct challenge to Christian leaders, including himself, about confusing audience growth with God’s approvalThe distinction Paul draws between discernment and judgment when evaluating a teacher’s public ministryWhy Paul calls his 2018 crisis a turning point in understanding his identity apart from achievementWhat Paul says accountability should look like for Christian leaders and organizations, including financial transparencyBecome an official member of C-Suite for ChristSupport the mission with a donation (C-Suite for Christ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit)Learn about becoming a market president and leading a local chapter Key Scripture referenced: 1 Timothy 6:10, Mark 8:36, Galatians 6:7, James 3:1, Luke 9:23, Matthew 6:24, 2 Corinthians 12:9, Philippians 4:12, John 16:33, 2 Timothy 4:3, Acts 17:11, Galatians 1:10, Matthew 6:21, Proverbs 27:17, Ephesians 2:8, 2 Corinthians 9:7, 1 John 4:1, Ephesians 5:11, Matthew 16:26 Get involved Visit csuiteforchrist.com Mixing, editing, and show notes provided by NEXT DAY PODCAST

    Episode 240: The Day Evil Took Off Its Mask

    Three years after October 7, 2023, Paul M. Neuberger asks a harder question than “what happened.” He asks why the world moved on so quickly, and whether Christians have confused being informed about tragedy with actually caring about it.  This episode walks through what happened that day, the attack on the Nova Music Festival, the massacre at Kibbutz Be’eri, the hostages, the documented sexual violence, using UN investigative findings and reporting rather than secondhand claims. But Paul doesn’t stop at Israeli suffering. He deliberately turns the conversation toward Gaza as well, arguing that Christians can’t condemn the murder of Israeli children while treating Palestinian children as disposable, and that “two truths can exist at the same time.”  He also gets personal in a way this show often does, connecting his own history with depression and suicidal ideation to how he thinks about the fragility of life, and challenging listeners on what he calls “selective compassion,” the tendency to let political tribe determine which innocent victims deserve sympathy.  In this episode, you’ll hear:  A documented account of the October 7 attacks, drawing on UN investigative findings regarding civilian deaths, hostages, and sexual violenceWhy Paul insists that condemning Hamas and grieving Palestinian suffering are not contradictory positionsCurrent data cited in the episode: over 74,000 Palestinian deaths reported by Gaza health authorities (not broken down by combatant status), nearly 2 million people in Gaza in urgent need of shelter, and a 121% rise in psychiatric emergency visits among Israeli children and adolescents since the war beganPaul’s response to NYC Mayor Zoran Mamdani’s October 7 anniversary statement, and the broader argument about politicians treating atrocity statements as political opportunitiesA walkthrough of biblical texts often invoked in conversations about Israel, Genesis 12, Ezekiel 36-37, Zechariah 12, Romans 11, and why Paul separates “biblical conviction” from “prophetic speculation”Why Paul rejects both antisemitism and anti-Palestinian prejudice as, in his words, equally incompatible with following JesusA direct challenge to business leaders on using influence and platform responsibly, drawn from Luke 12:48Paul’s personal disclosure about a period of severe depression and suicidal ideation in 2018, and how that experience shapes how he talks about human sufferingBecome an official member of C-Suite for ChristSupport the mission with a donation (C-Suite for Christ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit)Learn about becoming a market president and leading a local chapterShop the C-Suite for Christ SWAG store (Serve, Worship, And Glorify) Key Scripture referenced: Isaiah 5:20, Genesis 1:27, James 4:17, Proverbs 31:8, Romans 12:15, Proverbs 17:15, Matthew 5:44, Genesis 12:3, Ezekiel 36:24, Matthew 24:6, Romans 11:18, Micah 6:8, Luke 12:48, Romans 12:21, Matthew 5:14, 1 Corinthians 13:2, John 1:5, Joshua 24:15, Mark 12:31 Get involved   Visit csuiteforchrist.com.

    Episode 239 : The Devil Doesn't Need a Real Woman to Destroy Your Marriage

    A man can be emotionally unfaithful without another human being ever entering the relationship. That’s the claim Paul M. Neuberger opens with this week, and it’s not hypothetical. He downloaded an AI girlfriend app called Zeta himself to understand what’s happening inside the hearts of Christian men who are forming attachments to software. This episode goes to a place most church conversations avoid entirely: artificial intimacy, pornography, secrecy, and the quiet erosion that happens one small compromise at a time. Paul is unusually personal here, naming his own decade-long battle with pornography addiction and a specific turning point in his recovery this past June. He doesn’t treat this as a hypothetical “some men out there” problem. He treats it as a mirror. In this episode, you’ll hear:  Why Paul believes Matthew 5:28 (lust “in the heart”) applies even when the object of that lust was never a real personWhat happened when Paul spent several days inside the Zeta app researching the appeal a friend had confided he was struggling with, and what he recognized in himselfWhy Paul calls loneliness “a business model,” and how AI companion apps monetize emotional vulnerabilityThe Common Sense Media stat that 72% of American teens surveyed had used an AI companion at least once, and why Paul says that number matters even without evidence of romantic useWhy Paul argues businessmen protect their company’s intellectual property more carefully than their own hearts, and what that double standard revealsA direct word to men on the difference between remaining “strong” by hiding a struggle versus taking it to the lightA direct word to spouses who’ve discovered secret pornography or digital relationships, and why forgiveness and trust-rebuilding aren’t the same timelineWhy Paul distinguishes “godly sorrow” from simply feeling bad about getting caught, using 2 Corinthians 7:10Practical next steps: deleting the app, telling a pastor or accountability partner, setting boundaries before private conversations turn sexualBecome an official member of C-Suite for ChristSupport the mission with a donation (C-Suite for Christ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit)Learn about becoming a market president and leading a local chapterShop the C-Suite for Christ SWAG store (Serve, Worship, And Glorify)Key Scripture referenced:Matthew 5:28, Proverbs 4:23, 1 Corinthians 13:4, James 1:14, Matthew 26:41, Numbers 32:23, Luke 16:10, Galatians 5:16, Galatians 5:24, James 5:16, 2 Corinthians 7:10, Romans 8:1, 1 Peter 5:8, Joshua 24:15, Mark 8:36, Genesis 2:18, Romans 12:2Get involved Visit csuiteforchrist.com.Mixing, editing, and show notes provided by NEXT DAY PODCAST

    Episode 238 :They’re Not Coming for Someone Else’s Child

    This is the hardest episode Paul M. Neuberger has recorded. He says so himself, more than once. There's no Liam Neeson story here, no villain who gets caught in two hours while the credits roll. This episode is about real human trafficking: a $236 billion global industry built on buying and selling human beings, and the uncomfortable truth that awareness without action has become its own kind of complacency.  Paul doesn't treat this as an issue "out there." As a father of three, he walks through the numbers the way a parent does, by refusing to let them stay numbers. He talks openly about his own decade-long struggle with pornography and why he believes Christians need to examine what they consume before they condemn what traffickers do. And he makes a direct, specific case to business leaders: the resources, relationships, and influence that build companies are exactly what's needed to fight this.  This episode is heavy. It's also one of the most action-oriented the show has done, closing with a national hotline, concrete steps for parents, churches, and executives, and a clear answer to the question "what can one person actually do?"  In this episode, you'll hear:  The scale of the problem: an estimated 27.6 million people in forced labor worldwide, 6.3 million in forced commercial sexual exploitation, and children representing 38% of detected trafficking victims globallyWhy Paul says the Hollywood image of trafficking (a van, a stranger, a kidnapping) causes Christians to miss what's actually happening around themHow grooming really works: not a kidnapping, but attention, affection, and dependency that slowly turns into controlWhy 83% of trafficking survivors in one national survey reported experiencing poverty before being trafficked, and 96% reported prior abuse, and what that means about who predators targetThe scale of online enticement: 1.4 million cyber tipline reports in 2025, and why Paul calls smartphones "thousands of digital doors" into a child's lifePaul's personal disclosure about his own pornography addiction, and why he connects that conversation to the larger one about sexual exploitationThe Parable of the Good Samaritan, and why Paul says the priest and the Levite are the ones Christians should read most carefullyA direct challenge to business executives: how supply chains, vendor relationships, and influence can be used to fight exploitation instead of ignoring itWhat churches should look like as "the safest building in the community," including how not to handle a disclosure of abusePractical next steps for parents, including how to talk to kids about grooming and sextortion before a crisis, not afterBecome an official member of C-Suite for ChristMake a tax-deductible donation (C-Suite for Christ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit)Learn about becoming a market president and leading a local chapter If you or someone you know needs help: National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888 Text: 233733 Emergency: 911 Key Scripture referenced: Genesis 1:27, Psalm 82:4, Proverbs 31:8, Proverbs 22:6, James 1:27, Mark 7:21-22, Psalm 139:23-24, Isaiah 1:17, Luke 10:37, Matthew 25:40, Micah 6:8, John 1:5, Psalm 147:3, Proverbs 24:11, Ephesians 5:11, Matthew 5:14 Get involved Visit csuiteforchrist.com.

    Episode 237 :The Devil Is Not a Metaphor

    What if the devil isn't a metaphor?  That's the question Paul M. Neuberger opens with this week, and he doesn't ease into it. This episode goes somewhere most "polite Christianity" avoids: Satan, demons, darkness, and the spiritual battle Scripture says is happening around us whether we acknowledge it or not.  The jumping-off point is a real, reported incident. On September 3, 2026, messianic Jewish author Jonathan Cahn was on a flight from Dallas to Newark, talking with the passenger beside him about faith, when the conversation allegedly turned violent, fast. Cahn believes he encountered something deeper than one angry man having a bad day. Paul doesn't tell you what to believe about that flight. What he does say is that dismissing the possibility without examining it through Scripture would be a mistake.  From there, the episode turns into something bigger than one airplane. It's about why our culture will binge supernatural horror and superhero movies by the billion but treats anyone who takes the spiritual realm seriously as unsophisticated. It's about the difference between spiritual awareness and spiritual paranoia. And it's about the masks evil wears when it isn't dramatic at all, when it looks like ambition, success, busyness, or a LinkedIn profile that looks incredible from the outside.  In this episode, you'll hear:  The full account of what happened aboard American Airlines Flight 618, and why Paul refuses to either dismiss it or declare it provenWhy Ephesians 6:12 ("our struggle is not against flesh and blood") is the anchor for the entire episodeThe difference between seeing Satan everywhere and refusing to acknowledge him anywhere, and why Paul says both extremes are dangerousPew Research numbers on how many Americans believe in a spiritual world beyond the natural one, and what that says about where the culture actually standsWhy Satan's "opening move" in Genesis wasn't an explosion, it was a question: Did God really say?The masks evil wears: greed as ambition, pride as confidence, self-worship as authenticity, idolatry as successWhy the real enemy, according to Paul, is never the person in front of you, and what that means for how Christians are supposed to fight this battleCurrent religious landscape numbers: 62% of U.S. adults identify as Christian today versus 78% in 2007, and what Paul thinks that means for the mission aheadWhy surrender, not willpower, is the actual battle plan, drawn from James 4:7Join C-Suite for Christ as an official memberSupport the mission with a donation (C-Suite for Christ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit)Learn about becoming a market president and leading a local chapter Key Scripture referenced: Ephesians 6:11-12, 1 Peter 5:8, Genesis 3:1, 2 Corinthians 11:14, John 10:10, John 3:19, John 8:12, Romans 1:16, Luke 23:34, Romans 12:21, James 4:7, Colossians 2:15, 1 John 4:4, John 1:5 Get involved Visit csuiteforchrist.com for all three.

    Episode 236: The Bullet Didn’t Silence Charlie Kirk. But Did It Change Us?

    Today, we confront a moment that shook the nation. The assassination of Charlie Kirk. Not just another headline. Not another fleeting controversy to be fed to the algorithm and forgotten by Friday. A 31-year-old husband, father, and believer gunned down in broad daylight for stepping into the public arena. But one year later, Paul M. Neuberger refuses to offer empty sentiment. He asks the hard, convicting question: Did America actually learn anything? Or did we just trade our grief for more outrage, deeper tribalism, and louder hatred? Make no mistake—a bullet is not an argument. And Christianity is not a team sport. Jesus Christ doesn’t share His throne with political parties, media figures, or cultural movements. When we excuse venom on our side while screaming about it on theirs, we aren’t defending the gospel—we’re worshiping an idol. What will you do when the cultural temperature rises? Will you surrender your witness just to win a political argument, or will you stand boldly and play for an audience of one? “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” — Romans 12:21 Episode Highlights 08:40 - It's easy for me to condemn hatred when hatred is directed towards somebody I admire. The harder test comes when hatred is directed towards somebody whose worldview I strongly oppose. Do I still defend that person's humanity? Do I still condemn violence? Do I still refuse to celebrate suffering? Do I still pray? Because if my morality changes depending on which jersey somebody's wearing, I don't have morality, I have team loyalty. And Christianity is not a team sport. 27:14 - I'd rather publish something truthful that not a single person reads than something destructive that goes viral. I'd rather lose followers than lose myself. I'd rather disappoint an algorithm than disappoint God, because one day I am going to stand face-to-face in that heavenly exit interview in the sky, and there ain't going to be do-overs at that point. And I am not willing to make that meeting a bad meeting for me to make you feel good. 38:20 - Politics makes a terrible religion. And when politics becomes religion, disagreement becomes heresy, opponents become demons, elections become salvation, politicians become messiahs... winning becomes righteousness, and eventually almost anything can be justified because our side is supposedly saving civilization from theirs.

    Episode 235: Lindsay Clancy And The Face Of Evil: When A Culture Stops Valuing Life

    Today, we take you inside the real story behind the Lindsay Clancy tragedy. Not just another headline. Not just another trial. Not just another parade of explanations and excuses. Three children—Cora, Dawson, Callan—gone. Lives that matter. Names you need to remember. Our world hands out sympathy for the accused, forgets the victims, and explains away evil until nothing shocks us. But on this podcast, Paul M. Neuberger refuses to sanitize, refuses to bow. He exposes the numbness, calls Christians to courage, and reminds us: Jesus is still King. Truth is still truth. Life is still sacred. What will you do when accountability collides with compassion… when darkness demands a voice? Will you speak? "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." –Ephesians 6:12 Episode Highlights 29:32 - All of that can help us understand human behavior, but explanation and justification are not the same thing. Understanding why somebody did something doesn't automatically transform what happened into something morally acceptable. Yet sometimes I listen to our culture talk about wrongdoing and wonder whether we still believe anybody is responsible for anything anymore. 38:08 - I believe we've spent decades teaching ourselves that the value of human life can depend upon circumstances—wanted or unwanted, convenient or inconvenient, dependent or independent, inside the womb or outside the womb, healthy or disabled, productive or burdensome. And from my Christian worldview, I believe that's extraordinarily dangerous. Don't play that game. 59:36 - If calling abortion morally wrong costs me followers, good. Get out of here. Good riddance. If saying Satan is real makes somebody laugh at me, I could care less. If saying 3 murdered children deserves more cultural attention than they received makes me controversial, well then put a big fat frickin' sticker on my forehead that says controversial and I will wear it for the rest of my life with pride and honor.
