After not missing a weekly episode for two and a half years I suddenly stopped posting and haven't had a new episode in almost a year. In this episode I explain why I haven't been posting and why  I feel the need to step away from the Podcast, at least for now.

Why I am Giving up the Recovering Faith Podcast and Blog

Is God an Angry, Absent and Abusive Father Just Waiting For Us to Mess Up so He Can Punish Us?

Often times when decided whether or not to follow God, or whether or not to believe in God, people look for a sign and then ignore the sign or signs when they see them because they are not telling them what they want to hear or because they are not ready to change their life.

Here's Your Sign.

When things get hard it is easy to give up, especially when it doesn’t appear as if your efforts are making a difference, but in the end you will se it was worth it.

DON’T GIVE UP

This week’s podcast episode is an  answer to a question that was sent as a comment to an earlier podcast/blog called Why Does God Hate Me? The message that this episode is attempting to address is, “Holy Spirit left me because I was so dejected I said the Bible wasn't true. Even though I do believe it's TRUE I was told he left me. I felt Him leave even though He said He would never leave me or forsake me. He left me behind as all my female friends and ex's got married. My life is like being on a hamster wheel. Never changing, always unhappy while everyone else moved on. God hates me.”

Did God Forsake Me?

Though I initially did not think I would talk about the subject, this is my take on what is going on lately with all of the protests and riots. Basically, police should not be killing unarmed civilians, and there should be more accountability in law enforcement, and also, rioting does not accomplish anything and instead hurts people, including the people the rioters are claiming they are helping.

Unrest in America

While this is not part of the series I did on my mission, it is about my mission, In this episode I discuss some recent thoughts I had about my two year LDS Mission.Army of God: My 2 Year LDS Mission, The “Best” 2 Years of My Life: My LDS Mission, and Homecoming.

I Wish I Could Undo It: My LDS Mission

This episode is the second in the series of things I learned while driving a bus. This episode is about the summer I spent taking a group of ultra-orthodox Jewish girls camping in the national parks, which was the longest summer of my life.

What I Learned as a Bus Driver: Part 2

Part one of a series in life lessons I learned while driving a bus. I drove a bus for a lot of years, and by the time I left the industry I had driven a bus for a third of my life, not just a third of my adult life, a third of my entire life.

Things I Learned as a Bus Driver

Christians should do all they can to conserve precious resources and to respect and protect the great things God gave us, including the wildlife, the air and water and the planet, we should not get caught up in climate hysteria and we should only look to the God of the universe as our God and should nor worship the earth.

CHRISTIANITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE

TRUSTING GOD WHEN THE PLAN DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE ANY SENSE

The term “That dog don’t hunt” originates from the Southern United States and compares bad ideas to a dog that doesn’t hunt and both are believed to be equally useless. When Christianity mixes with culture a lot of misinformation and bad theology emerges, and this episode is about some of the bad ideas that are believed to be true about Christianity and the Bible, but are not.

That Dog Don't Hunt

Things are a little rough right now for practically every person in the world, but we will get through this together, we just need to be kind to one another and have a some faith in God.  This episode is some random thoughts I had this week about life, the Bible and COVID 19.

Hang In There

Sometimes we ask for things we think we want and insist we get, but as the people of Israel learned when they demanded a king, what we think we want is often not what we want at all.

Careful What You Ask For

Everything is crazy and uncertain right now, but it is never a mistake to trust an uncertain future to a certain God, a God who will never abandon or forsake us.

Where Do We Go From Here?

When the world is in chaos God wants us to trust him, knowing that everything is in his hands and that even if he doesn’t remove the storm he will be with us through it.

How Should Christians Respond to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Crisis?

Do we choose God or does he choose us, and does it matter? In this discussion on predestination and free will I will make a Biblical case for us not being able to choose God until he first chooses us.

Can We Choose God Without Him First Choosing Us?

Bringing Down the Church: Why People Don't Attend Church

Rob Sivulka: Josephlied.com

Faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints often ask me why I can’t just leave the Church alone now that I have left it and accuse me of being “anti Mormon,” but I don’t have any ill will towards LDS people, and in fact I love them, and that is why I want to do my part to bring them to Jesus and to true Christianity.
