The Balance of Gray
The Balance of Gray Podcast exists for one reason - to strengthen the faith of truth seekers by discussing raw topics, asking hard questions, and giving honest answers as we navigate the gray areas that challenge so many believers. Of course, we will be goofing around a little bit too, because it just makes life more fun that way! With the Word of God in one hand, and a microphone in the other, join the discussions that need to be had as we grow in truth, knowledge, and grace along the way.

Ready for a BIG giveaway? Today’s the day! Lately, there’s been a heavy cloud hanging over conversations about churches and pastors. Yes, accountability matters—but we can’t let a few bad apples overshadow the faithful shepherds who lift up God’s Word, care for His people, and walk in the Spirit every single day.
This episode flips the script. Instead of focusing on corruption, we’re highlighting the churches and pastors who are doi...
From government to academia to the pulpit, trust in authority has been crumbling for decades. In Part 1, Steve traces how we got here, why contradictory beliefs creep into Christian circles, and what the “information age” has done to our ability to discern truth. This is the groundwork before we ask the hard question: when the fog rolls in, how do we know who to believe?

In this sneak peek we start off discussing how Steve faced down not one, not two, but three laptop meltdowns in the span of fourteen days—sparks, crashes, and demonic interference included. In this episode, we laugh through the madness of tech gone wrong, where frustration boiled into a storm and the devil himself seemed to have a hand in the settings.
But beyond the comedy of digital despair, we pivot to upcoming episodes - deeper ...
In the final part of our Holy Spirit series, we dive into Jesus’ own words from John 14–16 and explore what it really means to be sealed, taught, and transformed by the Spirit. From conviction to comfort, we break down the five key mentions of the “Helper” and tackle tough questions about salvation, obedience, and what the Spirit does in the life of a true believer.

In this off-week discussion, Steve takes on a headline-grabbing question: Is Donald Trump really a Christian—or does he even understand the Gospel? Using recent soundbites from Trump about heaven and forgiveness, Steve unpacks what they reveal about common misconceptions surrounding salvation, grace, and the human condition before a holy God.
This isn’t about politics—it’s about clarity. Many people, like Trump, believe that good de...

We’re hitting pause on our Holy Spirit series for a quick but fascinating detour into two powerful biblical prophecies — Cyrus and Tyre. Both offer undeniable evidence that God’s plans are in motion long before we ever see them unfold. In this episode, we’ll unpack the historical and prophetic weight behind these extraordinary fulfillments. Don’t worry — we’ll be wrapping up the Holy Spirit series next time in Part 3, so be sure to...

We’re finally here people!!! The last two questions to end our 18 Questions series! Why did Moses write the Pentateuch in the third person? Was he even the author? We unpack that, plus the differences in the four Gospels, and why these details actually strengthen — not weaken — the case for Scripture’s reliability.

Raised in a Christian home, Nathan assumed he was a Christian — until he saw something different in a new friend’s walk with Jesus. In this powerful interview, Nathan shares how that encounter led him to discover real relationship, not just religion. What followed was a transformation marked by peace, clarity, and an uncommon joy that even many lifelong believers long for.

This was supposed to be an off week… but I had to share this. A recent Joe Rogan Experience episode with AJ from The Why Files sparked a deeper reflection: why do so many of us sit in the “middle ground” — believing in God, but not fully surrendering? Let’s talk about hesitation, fear, and what it really takes to move forward.

What’s the point of faith if it doesn’t actually change you? This week, I’m sharing the raw truth—how I got called out by a Christian coworker, why our Monday lives matter more than our Sunday talk, and whether we’re doing more harm than good by staying silent.
Also: Should Christians even try to convert people? Hear what an atheist had to say that might surprise you… this one gets real.
Welco...
This wasn’t on the schedule — but after getting a wave of feedback (and suspiciously absent transcripts), I figured a follow-up was in order.
In this off-week episode, I unpack what AI really said in our last chat, respond to atheist pushback, and reflect on the slow death of passion in modern education. It’s not a rant… unless you disagree — then maybe it is... lol.
