Reaching American Indians

Matthew Monfore was recently banned from an Indian reservation for proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and calling people to turn from their idols. This two-part podcast is a fascinating visit into the foreign mission field within America. Matthew explains the spiritual aspects of Sun Dance, Sweat Lodge and Peace Pipe (which doubles as a war pipe).  Find out why Eddie Roman would never get scalped! How do you witness to someone who hates Christians, Americans, Europeans and white people? Not sayin' it's easy, but at least we talk about it. We also cover buffalo jumps, dragging buffalo skulls, staring at the sun, the happy hunting grounds, and how the Pocahontas / conservation narrative is related to CRT! Whew!

My Homeless Homie

RR-32-background.jpg

It’s Father’s Day, and my boys surprised me with a gift card for a local movie theater and a Yoda Father’s Day card. We had a sweet time around the breakfast table, and my wife started preparing the ribs she’ll be making me for dinner. Let’s just say, when you start making dinner in the morning, it’s gonna be good. My life is such a contrast to so many men who are estranged from their families, including Chase, a homeless man I recently met. Chase approached me at a gas station and asked me for money. I declined (as I usually do when a person who looks like a drug addict asks for money), and offered him a gift card to In N Out Burger instead. He was thankful. When I gave him a gospel tract, he lit up and told me how he recently met God (??!!). I was on my way to work, and I couldn’t be late, so I offered to take him out to eat later. He accepted, and the conversation that resulted was something I’ll always cherish. Oh yeah, I recorded it! Here it is, on the latest episode of Romans Road:

Flat Earth

If you’re interested in (or shocked by) the Flat Earth conspiracy theory, here are some resources that show the Christian perspective. Actually, I take that back. Within Christianity, there are many different kinds of people, so… here are some resources that show the Flat Earth conspiracy theory from the perspective of most Christians alive today. I hope.

Alcohol vs. Joseph

The Covid lockdowns have driven many to drink. When I met Jospeh at the beach, he was eager to tell his story of 18 years of partying, followed by 10 years of Alcoholics Anonymous. The shattered relationships, loss of family and a home, and years of living in a car are the consequences of his sinful living. In spite of his past, Joseph was a pleasure to interview. Listen to his story on this episode of Romans Road.
