Every athlete dreams of making it to the highest level.
Jordan Evans lived that dream.

What does biblical fellowship really look like?
In this episode of The Authentic Christian Podcast, Aaron, Brandon, and Epifanio discuss why God never intended Christians to walk alone. Fellowship is more than seeing each other at worship—it’s sharing life, bearing burdens, encouraging one another, and growing together in Christ.
Be the church. Don’t just attend services.
What happens when Christianity starts to feel like you’re just going through the motions?
We can attend worship, read our Bibles, serve others, evangelize, and do all the “right” things—but if we lose sight of why we’re doing them, our faith can slowly become a checklist instead of a relationship rooted in love and gratitude.

The Trinity is one of Christianity's most discussed—and often misunderstood—doctrines. Does the Bible actually teach it? Join us as we trace this foundational truth throughout Scripture and discover how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are revealed from Genesis to Revelation.
What place should tradition have in determining what Christians believe? This episode examines the difference between apostolic teaching recorded in Scripture and traditions that developed later in church history. We also consider how Jesus responded when religious traditions went beyond or replaced God’s Word. Watch as we ask whether Scripture alone is enough or whether sacred tradition should carry equal authority.
What is Sola Scriptura? Is the Bible alone the Christian's final authority, or does God expect believers to rely on additional sources of divine authority?
In this episode, Aaron, Reagan, and Warner examine the biblical case for Scripture as the only infallible rule of faith for the church today.
Join us as we explore what the Bible teaches about authority, tradition, and testing every teaching by God's Word.
Can the Bible really provide everything a person needs to know to become a Christian and faithfully serve God?
In this episode, we examine the biblical doctrine of material sufficiency—the teaching that God has revealed everything necessary for faith, salvation, and faithful living within the pages of Scripture.
Most importantly, we'll ask a simple question: If God wanted people to be saved... wouldn't He give them everything t...
Can ordinary people understand the Bible for themselves, or do they need a church, creed, or religious authority to explain it?
In this episode of The Authentic Christian Podcast, Aaron, Reagan, and Warner join again to examine the biblical doctrine of the clarity and sufficiency of Scripture. Together, they explore whether God intended His Word to be understood and what that means for every believer seeking truth.

As Season 6 comes to a close, Aaron and Jeremy tackle a question Christians ask all the time: Can believers watch shows like The Chosen, House of David, or other creative biblical media?
In this thoughtful and balanced conversation, they walk through fundamental biblical principles—discernment, devotion to Scripture, influence, conscience, and more—helping Christians think clearly about entertainment and faith.
Instead of...
Aaron, Scott, and Cole dive into what the Bible actually says about modesty, clothing, and the Christian’s responsibility to represent Christ in every area of life.
From Genesis to the New Testament, they break down what “nakedness” means biblically, why modesty matters spiritually, and how our clothing affects others.
This conversation is honest, challenging, and rooted deeply in Scripture — not culture.

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
