The Based Podcast

The Based Podcast

What are you Based on? This is the question we put forth in every episode of Season 1. What is your worldview, your attitudes & words, your conversations you have inside your head Based on? If you are a follower of Christ, then every though you have should be Based on the Word of God, filtered through that book instead of the upside-down Clownworld that we are currently occupying. Season 2 changes direction to a 1 on 1 interview/interrogation format, between Layman vs. Pastor, in which we ask for clarification of some of the nagging issues that most of us would be too shy to approach our pastor about. Things that may not make sense to us about a sermon, or bible verse, but can really distort our worldview if left unresolved.

Fornication is one of those old timey words that needs to make a comeback to our modern parlance. Our culture is absolutely drunk on the proliferation of fornication. It's in our marketing, our movies and tv shows, all over our phones through social media and so-called "news". Selling illicit sex is a hugely profitable business, and everyone is susceptible to the temptation to indulge.

Season 2 kicks off with the 1st in our series of LAYMAN vs. PASTOR, in which I interrogate a pastor for clarification on some of the issues of our modern times that confound us.

This episode revolves around a devotional email that Pastor Randy Anderson (1st E Free Sioux Falls) recently sent out centered on Psalm 4:4 - "Be angry and do not sin: ponder in your own hearts in your own beds, and be silent. Selah"

In this episode, we celebrate a local pastor for his fearless stance on preaching the entire bible to his congregation. One issue we discuss is his recent sermon on the “Pathetic Propaganda” used by the wicked to distort and weaken the sovereignty of Jesus, both during His time and now. We also touch on some churches falling prey to the “affirmation” cult and Theological Minimalism as a means to fill pews.

God made men to be lions, not love bunnies. The Campus Preacher is a living example of what it means to be a lion; as he travels the country preaching the Word of God, Based on the entire bible, to what must surely be the most hostile environment in modern America - the college campus. 

As we’ve stated in earlier shows, “kids are dumb”, and this hate-fact is truer than ever as modern college-age young adults have turbo-cha...

Most believers know that our culture has become grossly "debased". How do we get "re-based"?

Here we discuss the importance of Based Storytelling. For the most part, Christians have abandoned the field of storytelling in our modern times. But the Creator of the Universe, whom we serve, is the author of EVERY story; and of course Jesus was the most effective story (parable) teller of all time.

One nugget from this ...

Sometimes, if one is seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit, God will speak in VERY CLEAR language. This is what happened to our guest, as he contemplated his plans for his ministry on the Crow Creek Reservation. God told him to feed His people, every week, and He would handle the rest from there. Obedience leads to blessings; faithfulness in our works is Kingdom-building.

Much of our modern entertainment/propaganda creators push the fantasy that children are the source of magical special knowledge, while adults fiddle fart their way through life, one crisis to the next. But, what seasoned adults in “the real world” know is that kids are dumb™ and not to be listened to. 

However, in this episode we interview two exceptions to this rule. Young men (18 years old) who are Based on the Word and who just m...

The heart of anger beats to the pulsating sense of entitlement that “we deserve better than this!” Humility — the abandonment of the self-deception of control — is the antidote to anger.

Pastor Uri recently wrote an article for the Fight Laugh Feast magazine titled “CULTURE WARS & THE LAND GOD PROMISED”, in which these nuggets appeared:

  • “In the last 50 years, many found the seduction of tranquility and monastic living more appealing than fighting the war for the land of Canaan.”
  • “They will take their culture wars with an extra shot of espresso.”
  • “Local pastors must speak clearly and unambiguously on these cult...

For many of us parents, we simply are outgunned when it comes to influencing our children against our modern decadent, corrupted, pagan culture. As we recently heard a local pastor say, we are the most messaged humans in all of history. And honestly, the majority of the messaging is against our worldview, and offensive to our Creator.

SO, what to do?

Part of having a BASED worldview is utilizing a vocabulary that is biblical, truthful and absolutely fearless. Sin, taboo, perverse, meek, and providence are some of the words and concepts that seem to have been erased from our American non-church lingo. In this episode we discuss the value in bringing them back into our lexicon.

This is a subject no one wants to talk about. 

There are not only many loved ones left wondering "why, why, why!?", but there even more people you know (perhaps even yourself ) who are struggling with the demonic pull—the voice that tells you that the world would “better off without you in it.”

This is a lie from the Evil One, but that voice can sound just like our own voice.

Who wants to go to work?!

Unfortunately, the events of the past few years have had a negative effect on Americans’ work ethic. Some speculate that it’s a direct result in the insidious influence of applied Marxism. Some say it’s a general malaise or a creeping nihilism that has infected the youth through the constant drip of the social media cesspool leakage media doom spreading.
