    Are We Thinking Too Deep?

    Are We Thinking Too Deep?When did questioning what we participate in become a bad thing? Every year, Halloween brings the same conversations among believers. Is it harmless fun? Is it really that serious? Or have we become so comfortable with certain traditions that we've stopped questioning what they represent? In this solo episode of Call a Spade a Spade, Kam takes an honest look at Halloween, cultural influence, and the responsibility Christians have to exercise discernment in a world where everything is increasingly normalized. From the way businesses market Halloween to the entertainment we consume and the traditions we participate in, Kam challenges the idea that examining these things through Scripture means we're simply "thinking too deep." But the conversation doesn't stop at Halloween. With the midterm elections approaching and political opinions creating division, Kam turns the conversation inward. As believers, how can we be quick to identify what doesn't align with Scripture in the world while overlooking the attitudes, behaviors, and division we sometimes allow within ourselves? Can we stand firm in our convictions without allowing pride to replace humility? Can we disagree without compromising the love Christ calls us to demonstrate? Through Scripture, personal experiences, and honest reflection, this episode challenges us to examine not just what we believe, but how consistently we live out those beliefs. Because discernment isn't just about recognizing what's happening around us. It's also about recognizing what's happening within us. And maybe the bigger question isn't whether we're thinking too deeply. Maybe it's whether we've become too comfortable with what we no longer question. Join Kam for another episode of Call a Spade a Spade as we discuss Halloween, cultural influence, political division, and what it truly means to live set apart without losing sight of Christ.

    Brothers... But At What Cost?

    Brotherhood… But at What Cost?Everybody wants brothers who will celebrate with them. But how many are willing to stand beside you when there's nothing worth celebrating? We often talk about the importance of brotherhood, loyalty, and surrounding ourselves with the right people. But what happens when those relationships require more than encouragement? When love demands sacrifice, accountability becomes uncomfortable, and being there for someone else means putting your own convenience aside? In this episode of Call a Spade a Spade, we sit down as brothers in Christ to share the experiences that have shaped our faith, tested our relationships, and challenged what we thought it meant to walk alongside one another. Through personal stories, difficult seasons, and honest reflection, we explore the realities of following Christ after saying yes to Him. The moments when obedience wasn't easy, when life didn't unfold as expected, and when God used the very people walking beside us to remind us that we weren't meant to carry every burden alone. But this conversation also challenges another perspective. What is the cost of not having genuine brotherhood? What happens when pride keeps you from asking for help? When isolation becomes easier than vulnerability? Or when the fear of being held accountable keeps you from the very relationships God could use to strengthen your walk? Because genuine brotherhood isn't measured by how often we agree, how long we've known each other, or how loudly we celebrate one another. Sometimes it's revealed through the uncomfortable conversations, the sacrifices nobody sees, and the willingness to stand beside someone when walking away would be easier. And while brotherhood may require something from us, it should never become a transaction. It's not about keeping score or determining what someone owes you. It's about reflecting the love Christ has already demonstrated. Jesus never called us to a comfortable love. He called us to a sacrificial one. So maybe the question isn't simply whether you have brothers in Christ. Maybe the question is: What are you willing to sacrifice for your brother, and what could it cost you to keep walking alone? Join us as we Call a Spade a Spade and have an honest conversation about faith, sacrifice, vulnerability, and the true cost of brotherhood. 📖 Scripture to Reflect OnJohn 15:13 — The greatest expression of love is laying down your life for your friends. Galatians 6:2 — Carry one another's burdens and fulfill the law of Christ. Proverbs 27:17 — As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. ♠️ Stay Connected with the Spade FamilyThe conversation doesn't stop when the episode ends.

    The Seed You Never See Grow

    What happens when the person who once helped guide your faith becomes the very person you sit across from to reflect on the journey? In this episode of Call a Spade a Spade, we welcome a familiar face who played a significant role in shaping our walk with Christ—our former youth pastor, Pastor Eric. Long before the podcast, the conversations, and the ministry we serve in today, Pastor Eric was pouring into our lives, challenging our perspectives, and helping establish the foundation of how we approach faith, leadership, and serving others. Now serving as a lead pastor of his own church, he joins us for a full-circle conversation about the journey from leading youth to shepherding a congregation, the lessons learned along the way, and what it truly means to remain faithful to God's calling through every season. Together, we explore the importance of authenticity, humility, family, and maintaining integrity when the responsibilities of leadership begin to grow. We also reflect on the lasting impact of mentorship and how the seeds planted in one season can continue bearing fruit in another. How do you lead without losing sight of the mission? How do you balance the responsibility of ministry with the responsibility of family? And how do you remain the same faithful servant when God places you in a different position? This episode is more than a conversation about pastoral leadership. It's a testimony to the power of discipleship, the responsibility of pouring into the next generation, and the lasting influence of those who choose to invest in others. Because sometimes the greatest evidence of your ministry isn't the position you hold, but the people who continue walking in purpose because you took the time to pour into them. Tune in as we Call a Spade a Spade and reflect on faith, mentorship, leadership, and what it means to stay committed to the calling. ♠️ Stay Connected with the Spade Family The conversation doesn’t stop when the episode ends.

    Access Doesn't Mean Assignment

    Not every open door is from God. Not every opportunity is your assignment. And sometimes, what we call “waiting on God” is really us avoiding the responsibility to move. In this episode of Call a Spade a Spade, Kam sits down with Eric and Elmo Stephen Jr. for an honest conversation about access, assignment, and discernment—and what it really looks like to follow God's direction when opportunity, ambition, and faith collide. How do you know when God is telling you to move? How do you recognize when an opportunity is actually a distraction? And at what point does “I'm waiting on God” become an excuse for fear, hesitation, or a lack of preparation? Through personal experiences, biblical truth, and real conversation, the panel explores the importance of prayer, wise counsel, spiritual discipline, and learning to recognize God's direction above the pressure and expectations of the world. Because having access doesn't always mean you have an assignment. And waiting on God was never meant to become an excuse for standing still. Sometimes the question isn't whether the door is open. It's whether God told you to walk through it. Tune in to Call a Spade a Spade as we challenge ourselves to stop chasing every opportunity and start discerning the assignment. 📖 Scripture Referenced in This EpisodeJohn 21:20 Acts 1:4–7 Galatians 6:4–5 Proverbs 19:2 1 Corinthians 5:5 Luke 8:14–15 ♠️ Stay Connected with the Spade FamilyThe conversation doesn't stop when the episode ends.

    One of them Ones

    What does it really mean to be "one of them ones"? Culture tells us it's about influence, recognition, and standing above the crowd. But what if God defines it completely differently? In this episode of Call a Spade a Spade, Kam challenges the idea that only the famous, gifted, or outspoken are called to make an impact. Through biblical truth, personal experiences, and honest reflection, he explores what it means to embrace the unique assignment God has placed on your life—and why being "one of them ones" has nothing to do with popularity and everything to do with obedience. This conversation is an invitation to stop comparing, stop doubting, and start walking confidently in the purpose God has already given you. Because the question isn't whether you're called. The question is: Will you answer? ♠️ Stay Connected with the Spade Family The conversation doesn’t stop when the episode ends.
