    Christians & Fitness: Gluttony, Vanity, or Discipline? When Does Honoring Your Body Become Idolatry?

    "The one sin pastors never talk about is gluttony" "How come there are so many overweight pastors" "Our body is a temple! We have to honor that!" "Crucify your flesh! Break it!" This week Jor Talks about fitness. When is it helpful? When does it hurt? When does it bleed into ego? And how should Christians act at the gym?We're also doing a deep dive about common myths about those who are fit and regular gym goers - namely that they are disciplined individuals and they have learned to break their flesh. JOR ALSO TALKS some theology! From eisegesis to trichotomists, to anywhere in between, we're digging deep this episode. We hope that you keep the fitness.... but maybe drop the nonsense.

    “READING THE BIBLE” is Overrated

    Yeahhhh, when it comes to spiritual disciplines, "reading the Bible" is not really all that high. That's because we were never really instructed to read the Bible. In this episode, Jor Talks about what the Bible DOES say about itself. It tells us to meditate on it! To instruct, to teach, to hide it in our heart, and to obey it. But reading it? As in reading your chapter and forgetting about it and moving on with your life? Yeah - that isn't really there. Jor also outlines some practices that are going to replace your standard, basic Bible reading plans. Things that involve slowing down, meditating, and allowing your love for Jesus to fuel you!

    Why You're Stuck

    Are you STUCK? Stuck in your faith? Stagnant? Feeling like church doesn’t “hit” anymore.... or like you don’t even know what’s wrong? This week, Jor Talks about some real (and sometimes uncomfortable) reasons you might be stuck. Maybe you’ve been trying to be someone you’re not; chasing a version of yourself you picked up from Instagram. Maybe you’re bringing a “mask” to God instead of your real self… and wondering why nothing is changing. Jor Talks about what happens when you delay obedience, when bitterness and unforgiveness take root, and how easy it is to fall into self-justifying loops - whether that’s playing the victim, being hyper-critical, or even becoming spiritually prideful. Jor also dives into things we don’t always talk about: avoiding risk and choosing comfort, shutting down emotionally, ignoring conviction, and convincing ourselves “I already know this” so we stop growing altogether. If you’ve been feeling stuck, there’s a reason, and there’s a way out. As you surrender to the Holy Spirit, drop the mask, and actually align your life with what God is saying (even when it’s uncomfortable), you can move forward again. Let’s get you unstuck.

    Grief. Pain. Loss. - Processing through the passing of my mentor and lead pastor, Jeff Leake

    Discipleship means modeling. It means “follow me as I follow Christ”. So, this is my best attempt to keep it real, and bring you into the very real emotions I am working through even now. In this episode Jor Talks about loss and how to handle it, or at least, the 10 things he is doing right now to make sure he is appropriately processing loss! This episode is most certainly a tribute to the life of Jeff Leake and all that he did for Jor, but also hopefully useful to those who are currently learning to walk through loss.

    NO TALENT? NO SKILLS? No problem! 8 zero IQ things you can do for HUGE IMPACT.

    What if the biggest impact you could make didn’t require more talent, charisma, or gifting..... just a few little things that anyone can do with effort effort? In a culture obsessed with platforms, influence, and excellence, we often overlook the small, unglamorous habits that actually build trust, shape culture, and form disciples. The truth is, some of the most powerful leadership practices take zero skill....but almost everyone skips them. In this episode, JOR TALKS about things like being on time, learning names, expressing gratitude, giving undivided attention, doing the jobs no one wants, apologizing quickly, celebrating others, and staying coachable can radically change your leadership, your ministry, and your relationships. These aren’t flashy. They won’t get you a stage.But they will earn you trust, grow teams, prevent burnout, and reflect the heart of Jesus! If you’re a Christian, disciple-maker, or leader who wants to be faithful in the little things.... yeahhhh this one’s for you. Zero skill. No excuses. Massive impact.
