Iron Disciples Podcast

We discuss a few questions we'd have for God if given the opportunity. We cover life on other planets, Satan, angels, hell, beauty and a few others. Know that we aren't claiming to know these answers and some of what we say could be inaccurate from a theology standpoint as we ponder these fun questions. We would love to know what questions you have for God or if you have any thoughts on the ones we discuss. Socials/Podcast links https://linktr.ee/irondisciples

Christians often get accused of rushing into marriage too quickly. From a secular standpoint, it could be viewed as foolish making such a decision while deep in the infatuation stage of a relationship. What do you think?

Part 2 - Today we welcome on Samuel Perez, a fellow brother in Christ that we connected with over social media. Samuel has a powerful testimony that sheds light into an often avoided topic in the Christian community, homosexuality.

We had camera issues on the 1st part so the first half of this is recapping what we went over in part 1. If you already listened to part 1 you may find it worth skipping ahead. On this podcast we dig into a debate we all watched with Rollo Tomassi and Ruslan on the topics of dating/relationships/marriage. Rollo, as a Christian, takes a very secular view on the topics and Ruslan calls him out on it. Both have some great points in the complicated relationship world today. Rollo is the "Godfather of the red pill" and famous for his book series the Rationale Male. Ruslan is a Christian music artist and influencer who is very familiar with the red pill space. This is a part 2 to the first episode found here https://youtu.be/o5CMJes5pnU Full debate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPdsA9Fy44I

Teachers have such a big influence on today's youth. We are seeing the youth be indoctrinated with so much nonsense today. We challenge Christian teachers to take a stand and put truth as priority over school administration agendas.

Some of the ideas on the progressive side of Christianity are going off the rails. You may as well say some of these leaders are starting new religions. It is clear that a lot of their ideas are based off feelings and not truth. Francis Chan's book Crazy Love poses some challenging ideas around the idea of lukewarm Christians because of the verse Revelation 3:16- "So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth." What does that mean to you?

Society today seems to normalize things that we should try to grow out of and then suppress things that are good, like masculinity. Full Video: https://rumble.com/v1v9uli-25-answering-tiktok-comments-and-social-media-fasting.html

We welcome on a fellow ID brother, Jesse, to discuss the debate of cessationism vs continuationism. This is a discussion on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and if they still exist today as they did in the early church. Jesse has spent considerable time in both camps and considers himself sort of in the middle now, which is how the 3 of us would also consider ourselves. Further definitions of the two concepts below: Continuationism - the belief that all the spiritual gifts, including healings, tongues, and miracles, are still in operation today, just as they were in the days of the early church. A continuationist believes that the spiritual gifts have “continued” unabated since the Day of Pentecost and that today’s church has access to all the spiritual gifts mentioned in the Bible. Cessationism - a doctrine that spiritual gifts such as speaking in tongues, prophecy and healing ceased with the Apostolic Age. The doctrine was developed in the reformation and is particularly associated with the Calvinists. More recent development has tended to focus on other spiritual gifts too, owing to the advent of Pentecostalism and the Charismatic movement that have popularized a radical continuationism – the position that the spiritual gifts are meant for all Christians in every age.

Today we are joined by one of guys from group, Josh, who is both a youth pastor and school teacher. We first get into a few of the books he wrote, one particularly on the topic of struggling with porn and how he overcame that.

A lot of people today view Jesus as a "good man" and will follow His ideas without viewing the deity and resurrection as truth. This allows for picking and choosing what one wants out of the Bible, essentially making their own religion.

Today we get into a discussion on Jordan Peterson's comments on belief "I act as if God exists" and some of his other comments on Christianity. We watch a few clips for context and have those posted below. The point of this discussion isn't specifically Jordan Peterson's beliefs but rather those that adopt his mindset and is that mindset doing potential Christian's a disservice by not diving fully in. We debate the idea of can someone claim to believe something and have no fruit to reflect that belief. The 3 of us don't fully agree on this topic so would love to know your thoughts in the comments.
