The world is hitting a point where it is impossible to have conversations. Disagreeing with someone means they must be a fool, so there is no reason to talk. We need to get back to discourse! We need to be willing to hear another person’s opinion! We need to wrestle with thoughts, and faith, and all those things together! This podcast seeks to open up conversation in the best method I have ever found; with a beer and a pipe… or cigar! Cinder & Hops invites you to sit down with me, and my gue ...

Burnout is everywhere. I think that in our post-lockdown world, we all realized just how much we needed some time to refresh. For those of us who had the privilege of staying home during the lockdown, the time we had to spend with our families was priceless.

In this article, we’ll be talking about an idea that I alluded to several times in 1 John: the identity of the Antichrist.

This is also an article! Check it out at https://danielcrogers.substack.com. So the other day I was thinking about how I would explain to Cayden, my three-year-old, why we don’t use instruments on Sunday morning.
