Do real cardio. Lift heavy things.

$Not the update I wanted to bring: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 74) Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:00 - Intro 1. 2:06 {Cover-Up Culture Continues} How leaders we exposed are still covering up. 2. 1:02:03 {About “3rd Wayism”} I have great admiration for believers like Gavin Ortlund & Alisa Childers. The two come down on different sides on the idea of “3rd Wayism,” both for very biblically compelling reasons. It’s actually a bit frustrating! What are your thoughts on these competing postures? Can you offer up a 4th way? 3. 1:06:17 {Donald Trump’s Recent Statements} Will you please address recent issues and blasphemous statements surrounding President Donald Trump? 4. 1:14:31 {Why Store Up Treasure in Heaven?} The Lord talked about storing treasures in Heaven (Matthew 6: 19-21). Why does that matter? Isnt being able to stay in Heaven enough? 5. 1:18:20 {John 1 – What is “The Light”?} Does John 1:9 mean that literally everyone ever born has witnessed the light (Jesus)? Is this light perhaps the same thing referenced by Paul in Romans 1: 20? 6. 1:23:42 {Physical Bodies in Heaven: Why?} My friend asked, what is the significance of a physical body in the resurrection (no marriage)? I know theres more to having a body than reproduction, but I’m curious of your thoughts. 7. 1:27:49 {Understanding the Tower of Babel} I would love to hear a simple explanation of the Tower of Babel. I’ve never once heard a pastor teach it. Could you briefly explain what is going on there? Is it meant to be historically accurate? 8. 1:35:57 {How to Challenge Your Pastor’s Teaching} I’m unsure of how to raise a concern: my pastor’s sermon points, while not unbiblical, don’t seem to reflect the passage’s plain meaning. He’s the only pastor/elder. What should I do? 9. 1:40:05 {Command vs. Conscience?} Could you help me to better reconcile Acts 15: 28-29 with 1 Corinthians 8: 10? Acts makes it seem like a necessary command from the Spirit, but later it seems like a conscience issue. 10. 1:52:33 {Dating: How Important Are Feelings?} Is it wise to enter into a relationship with a person who is godly, a really good Christian, and logically looks like a good idea, but there is a lack of feelings/emotions toward that person? Important videos I referenced today... My big video on how Shawn Bolz led me down the rabbit hole into discovering Cover-up Culture. https://youtu.be/GH05S53QlY0?si=aeptAWsQyx23Pt_7 These issues are NOT resolved. The problem has not gone away. Heres the controversial bit from Jenn Johnson of Bethel Music. https://youtu.be/-SdJz_m66YI?si=tXU67szl3DXsPR0f My video on Che Ahn lying to me (and you) https://youtu.be/51xmYrMq8Kk?si=rSEAV3pfx9OIimcJ My video on Chris Reed https://youtu.be/R_yK0ZYPAMA?si=yVQ0sKjDRnC88jFh Micah Turnbo https://youtu.be/FMPEq3xxx94?si=B1-OLMhhwhjI-5xd Steve Koko (the predator of Panama) https://youtu.be/VTrPlHpgktw?si=U336wefzC-v5-hfS Todd White https://youtu.be/FyoR5HQjI6w?si=MHav2PI-VvGFw-p8 https://BibleThinker.org$

$10 Qs with Mike Winger: Who is the Rapture Prophet? (Ep 60) “Brother Joshua” Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:00 - Intro 1. 0:59 {Rapture Craze?} Can you address “Brother Joshua” and the current rapture craze? 2. 36:29 {PSA + Crucified WITH Christ?} How does the doctrine of Penal Substitutionary Atonement harmonize with us being “crucified with Christ” (Galatians 2: 20, Romans 6:5-6)? The substitution element seems to be missing, and wrath seems confusing if we are to affirm crucifixion with Christ. 3. 40:57 {Pre-Wired to Sin?} Why are Adam and Eve guilty when the brains God gave them are what guided them to make their decision to sin? They processed the situation based on the way God had pre-wired them. 4. 44:15 {Eschatology in The Psalms?} Is it valid to interpret Psalms 42-49 as talking about the End Times (Tribulation in 42-44, Lamb’s wedding in 45, God’s reign/judgment and New Jerusalem with a river in 46-49)? 5. 50:00 {Obedience Leading to Hardship?} My walk with Christ feels harder the more I obey. I lost family, friends, and even my girlfriend. Sometimes I wonder if this is even worth it, yet I still long to stay faithful. Any advice? 6. 55:42 {Baptismal Regeneration: False Gospel?} Would you consider the teaching that baptism is necessary for salvation to be a different gospel” (Galatians 1:6)? If not, how would you distinguish it from the Circumcision Partys false teachings? 7. 1:00:31 {Malachi 4: About Jesus?} Is Malachi 4:2 talking about Jesus? Some translations like NKJV vs. NASB seem to reference it differently. 8. 1:05:30 {Loving God Above Family} My husband is an unbeliever. He recently told me he cant be a believer because he idolizes me and our kids and couldnt love God more than us. Beyond praying, how can I address this biblically? 9. 1:09:14 {Church Membership but Rarely Attending?} I’m a youth pastor at my church, and several families at my church consider themselves members but are only present a few times per year due to weekend activities. Should we address this strongly? 10. 1:14:43 {Trusting God More in Prayer} I fully believe God never fails and His decisions are always right and good. But its still hard not to feel like Hes let me down when I pray SO hard for something and it doesnt happen. It feels like Hes absent and it (ashamedly) makes me question the parts in Scripture where He invites us to ask and SAYS Hell act. Bonus! 1:21:38 {Mike’s Favorite Christian Music} What are some of your favorite or best recommended Christian music artists and albums? Why is there a Rapture craze going on right now? I think it traces back to this mystery man, Brother Joshua. He appeared out of nowhere about 3 months ago and said God took him to heaven multiple times and Jesus told him the date of the Rapture.
