Holy Smokes Men’s Ministry Podcast

Kicking off the book of Exodus, Justin and Duke dive into the first three chapters looking at the details, but also keeping an eye on the BIG picture of how the story of Exodus continues the through line of the Gospel. Not to mention a couple of good smokes and a technical glitch with the camera! Enjoy!

Justin, Brandon, and Keith dive into Galatians 6, and some tasty cigars and bourbon! The struggles of the early church in Galatia and Paul's concerns are much like the struggles churches have today. God's Word through Paul was instructive then, and it's instructive now as Christians struggle through remaining focused on the Gospel, loving others in a way that points them to Jesus.

Well, the fellas must have had a button under their tongues instead of a butterscotch, because they just kept talking on this 2 hour discussion of Galatians 5! It is a GREAT chapter ripe for in-depth conversation between Justin, Duke, and Keith about Paul's push back on those wanting new Christians to follow the trappings of ritualistic Judaism while at the same time insisting that new Christians follow the Holy Spirit's guidance in avoiding the desire of the flesh. It's a great conversation - join in!

These three just can't get enough of Galatians! Justin, Brandon, and Keith are back to walk through Galatians chapter 4. What continues to jump out to the guys is how much Paul and all the New Testament writers emphasize the connection between the Old Testament and the continuation of God's grace and mercy through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Join in and take delight in God's one storyline - The Gospel.

Justin, Brandon, and Keith are back and jumping into Galatians chapter 3. Enjoying a couple of really good cigars and whiskeys, the guys humbly dive into the deep waters of Paul's fight to keep new Christians from falling back into the works-based religion of the Pharisees.

It's a full studio as Justin, Brandon, Duke & Keith continue in Galatians looking at Paul's defense and clarification of The Gospel in Chapter 2. It's not only a discussion of how the early church dealt with false teaching, it's a time of admitting that we all fall slave to false understandings of The Gospel at times. The guys come away thankful that God provides multiple reminders of His mercy & grace through Jesus in countless places in scripture, not just in the New Testament.

Justin, Jeremiah and Brandon break into Galatians, Paul's letter to the church in Galatia. The guys discuss how Paul handles admonishing and correcting fellow Christians, helping us see how to better relate to one another as brothers and sisters in Christ. Settle in, it's an interesting episode and gives the guys the opportunity to one more farewell to Jeremiah as he moves to another part of the state.

The conclusion of Acts takes us through chapters 21-28 and Paul's missionary journeys. Justin, Brandon and Keith discuss the impact of God's call on Paul's life and how that in turn should impact how we respond to God's call on our lives. The questions are introspective and uncomfortable at times, but worth it for the kingdom.

We're back with more from the book of Acts! In this episode Justin, Brandon and Duke dive into Acts 10 where Peter meets Cornelius, Peter is given a vision by God that helps him understand the Gospel more clearly. This would later lead to a better understanding between Peter and Paul. Join the guys as they work through this incredible part of God's Word.

We're back in the book of Acts! Justin and Duke are joined by Brian to walk through chapter 9 of the book of Acts and the conversion of Saul. It's not only a great conversion story, but it's also another picture of power of the Gospel and Jesus' call on our lives. Enjoy!
