    E54: The Excellence Lie

    Send us a text Join me in this look at how we dress up for each other and give up too easily when we see a side we don't like.

    E53: Too Big to fail: Is the Church a business & how does it relate to losing friends?

    Send us a text This was a tough topic to tackle. Join James as he dives into how we get "lost in the cracks", how we lose friends, how large church's can lose focus, and how they relate.

    E52: Darkness Abounds: Trans athletes, UK victory, Karmelo Anthony, FSU shooter.

    Send us a text Wow. What dark times we're having. Another shooting, a stabbing, parenting among bullies, and more trans athletes stealing women's titles. How are we to remain sane? How are we to react?  Join me as I take an honest inventory of how we as Christians are to respond to all the hate in this world. Do we choose hate in response, or is there another option?  Show Notes:  XX-XY Athletics Ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHn154unAic Intro Song: Gold - Leeland Outro Song: Instead of a Show - Jon Foreman Please follow, like, and share!

    E51: Deep calls to Deep: Giving grace to our "off days".

    Send us a text Join me in this honest comparison to spiritual disciplines and the struggle to keep it up. We can't do the routine for routine sake. But why do it at all? Do we desperately need Jesus the way we once did? How do we get back there? It's not a one solve fix all problem. Let's find our desperate places and choose Him over our vices and lesser gods. Give grace to yourself when you miss the mark, because you will ...time and time again. If you let that derail you, you'll fall further away from His sweet presence, trusting in yourself more, and beaten down by life's cycle of pile up. Let's wrestle with our desperation together.  Scripture:  Psalm 31:9-13 Jeremiah 20:8-9 Exodus 34:14 Psalm 42:7 Luke 7:36-48 Intro song: Gold - Leeland Outro song: Deep calls to Deep - Rita Springer Please follow, like, and share!

    E50: How to find a Church: Wrestling with what matters most.

    Send us a text Boy, what a hard topic. Join me, James, as I dive into different denominations, what divides us, and what unites us. I attempt to give you very practical things to look for in searching for a home Church, including specific beliefs, doctrine, worship, location, and authenticity. It's not easy, and as usual I take a bit of a rabbit trail to get there. But I pray this will help you find your people! Please follow, like, and share! Contact: TheBoxlessNutshell@gmail.com

    E49: Mid-Life Crisis: The cursed ground and our purpose

    Send us a text This life is hard. And as men especially, we define ourselves by what we do. We see it all the time, when high status gets lost, the people seem lost with it. If you have ever felt this way, I have to. Hopefully this episode reminds you of your value in work and without it. Let's wrestle through this tough topic together.

    E48: Church Hopping: The struggles of leaving your home church to search for more authentic community

    Send us a text Join James as he dives into muddy waters of leaving a Church, when to pull the plug, what to look for, and what can be sacrificed. He's going through this himself with his own family and shares a raw processing of what he's going through. Finding true authentic community is perhaps the greatest issue we face as Christians... next to intimacy with other men.  John Lynch: Two Roads https://youtu.be/Rfy03PEVUhQ?si=MZc2t0bJbVbd27zo Please follow, like, and share!
