Debate Update:
Due to the unprofessionalism and unwillingness to accept any terms or rules for a debate, a recent challenge that was made will no longer be taking place. In the future, if Norse Pagans, Muslims, Atheists, or Cult groups are going to accept my open invitation, there will be a two strike system;
If you fail to agree to the terms: No profanity, no personal attacks, and no going off topic.
The result will be the cancelation of the debate and your account being blocked.
If you fail to agree to the format of the debate explained upon the challenge, the result will be the cancelation of the debate and your account being blocked.
You will be treated fairly, but I will have zero tolerance for people trying to waste time.

A TV Series is going to premiere soon titled "The Promised Land." After watching the trailer, learning who is in charge of it, and watching the interviews and angles they're going to be covering the books of Exodus and Numbers through the lens of comedy, I can already tell this is going to be blasphemous and disrespectful as much as misleading about the actual text. Films like The Prince of Egypt and The Life of Brian both were inaccurate. The latter being intentionally blasphemous but never claimed to be presenting "the real Jesus." The Prince of Egypt even starts with a call for its audience to actually read Exodus to know what happened historically. This series is attempting to do what made the Chosen a Red Flag and cult bait. So I'm interested to hear what you all think. Normally I hate being a critic and would rather do studies focusing on the positives and leaving negative reviews to other people. So here's my thoughts. I could ignore it and let it die the death it deserves. I could keep a casual eye on it and perhaps make Time in the Shade jokes where it really crosses lines. Or I could start a series reviewing each episode as a critic. Let me know what you think would edify all of you.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Recruitment for Project A.C.O.R.N.
Are you wanting to share the gospel with a particular group but don't know where to start? Are you unsure of your ability to answer every question you may or may not get asked? Do you want help getting training in how to deal with these groups?
It has been a desire among many apologetic circles to encourage a large number of people who are specialized in very specific topics. You don't have to know everything to tell the truth about something. I simply want to equip you to deal with a very specific topic within one of the following subjects. All that's required of you is a social media account and a willingness to make at least 3-4 videos.
Atheism
Liberal Christianity
Jehovah's Witnesses
Mormonism
Prosperity Gospel
Buddhism
Wicca
Witchcraft
LGBT Activism
Islam
and More
If you are worried about questions you aren't specialized in, send them to @AReason4Hope or the Discord channel and I'll help or send you to another specialist. Pray about where God can use you and be willing to see what He can accomplish through simply being available. I'll look forward to hearing from all of you. What you need to decide is;
1. What subject you want to deal with. You'll be given the topic within that subject later.
2. What social media platform you want to cover. (Youtube Shorts, Tiktok, Instagram, etc)
3. What style you want to present the information. (Anonymous personas are fine!)

Just a note. The Time in the Shade episode being uploaded on Easter (3/31/2024) is not an edited version of an old episode. It is our second annual Easter special! Don't skip this one!
He is Risen!

Brawny Buck was kind enough to have me as a guest on a debate as to whether or not Celestia is God. Since the majority position was against the idea, they needed someone to take the contrary view and I drew the short stick. So in the exchange, I specified the difference between calling Celestia God in a generic sense (one with power) and calling her YHVH in a specific sense. Feel free to give a listen and see if I was able to defend a position effectively that I don't even agree with!

Looks like the votes are in. Since there's a low response for compilations but a tied interest in reuploading and continuing as normal, here's what we'll do. The episodes that are being reuploaded will be done daily until we're caught back up, and then we'll continue as normal. Any delays will be on account of sickness or life emergencies. Pray those are kept to a minimum.
On another note, individual studies will also be coming as well as the Exercising Discernment videos once the format has been completely ironed out. I'll keep you all posted on those as well once there's something to say. In the mean time, enjoy this message that I taught at our local church for Valentines Day!

Update!
Apologies for the delay in uploads this week. I was shown a cheap way to create a teleprompter so I didn't have to keep looking down at my phone during the Time in the Shade jokes. So I took the time to rerecord all of the jokes I have done so far. That's about 5 hours and change of clips averaging between 15-30 seconds. It took a while but they're all ready. So here's my question for all of you.
Do you want me to reupload them in the usual style of Time in the Shade Episodes, Upload them topically in groups, or just continue the new Time in the Shade Episodes with the new format? Let me know and things will continue as normal by Monday!

The Time in the Shade episode meant to be uploaded on Christmas Day will be uploaded early due to the emergency situation it is addressing. A beloved sister in Christ has been reported missing by her loved ones and the British government isn't doing anything. Information about the case and who to contact are available in the description.

While I'm still waiting on access to the equipment that will allow Bible Studies and the like to continue, I have been getting a lot of good questions regarding whether or not it is okay for Christians to engage with particular forms of media. Be they video games, certain anime/tv shows, or even music. I am willing and able to do a series going through whatever you would like to discuss regarding how to approach them with discernment and a Biblical worldview. I won't be able to speak from an informed perspective on everything, but we can go through some biblical standards I've exercised when checking as to whether or not something would be healthy for me to fill my mind with. If this would interest any of you, let me know in the poll and leave any specific topics you'd want to discuss in this format.
So far I have the following;
Media: Warhammer 40k, Death Note, Higurashi, Deadpool, Star Wars, Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel, Game of Thrones, Fairy Tale, One Piece, Naruto
Characters: Eren Yaegar, Lelouch, William Moriarty
Video Games: Devil May Cry, Elden Ring/Dark Souls, The Legend of Spyro, Kingdom Hearts
Music: Evanescence, Disturbed
