A major question asked in the Church is whether or not the Bible gives us the authorization to use instrumental music in worship towards God. Because of this, the proposition for Lads To Leader’s 2024 debate was “The use of instrumental music in the worship of God by His Church is not authorized by His word.” With the permission of my debate partner and the other team, they allowed me to record the first half of our debate. In this portion of our debate, my partner and I are on the...

Today I talk about something that I saw last week that has to do with the rising popularity of modern romance books that contain pornographic or explicit material. I talk about how these books can cause us to be a stumbling block to ourselves or a stumbling block to others. I also talk about how these types of books do the opposite of honoring God, they dishonor Him and distort what His intentions were from the beginning of time. I actually had to redo this episode a second time because the...

We often are told to go to Siri, Google, or any other platform on the internet to find answers to our problems. But why aren’t we going to the Bible for our spiritual ones?
