For years, you may have been told to be a “disciple” of Jesus. But the original Hebrew word, “Talmid,” reveals a depth we’ve largely forgotten. It doesn’t just mean “student”—it means “apprentice.”
Join us as we explore how this ancient concept moves us beyond head knowledge and into radical imitation. A student knows what the teacher knows. A Talmid strives to do what the teacher does. This simple shift in perspective has the power to transform your prayer life, your relationships, and your entire purpose. Stop being a fan of Jesus and start being His apprentice.

You found the bonus content. Welcome to the elite. If you missed the regular Worship Wars episode, you can find it here: https://youtu.be/TtQFOarQFl0
In this unauthorized, no-holds-barred discussion, we ask a question many are thinking: When did the stoic, hymnal-led ‘Minister of Music’ get replaced by the skinny-jeaned, ‘Come on, church!’ worship pastor?
We’re diving headfirst into the “worship wars”—exploring the shift from traditional to contemporary, the surprising (and sometimes secular) origins of classic hymns, and the controversies that once rocked the church, from organs and guitars to the simple act of raising hands.
Ultimately, we wrestle with the most important question: In a battle of styles, preferences, and traditions, what does God think? This is a frank, honest, and necessary conversation about getting back to the heart of worship.

There is a battle raging for the story of America. One side claims the nation’s success is a product of secular enlightenment. The other knows the truth: America is a miracle, founded by wise leaders who built its laws and philosophies on the bedrock of God’s Word.
This is not a matter of opinion—it’s a matter of historical fact. This episode presents the powerful evidence that the founders, from Washington to Franklin, believed that true freedom and just governance were impossible without acknowledging God’s authority. To deny this is to discount the very miracle of America.
You cannot write God out of the equation. Discover the foundation that made the American Dream possible.

Did you know one of Christianity’s most famous “battle” hymns was written by an eccentric, self-taught scholar who kept a pet bat on his shoulder? In this episode of “Hit me in the head with a hymn book,” host Jeff Dixon uncovers the strange and fascinating life of Sabine Baring-Gould, the man behind “Onward, Christian Soldiers.” Discover why this iconic marching anthem was hastily written for a children’s parade on Whit Sunday, and why its author later admitted its rhymes were “faulty.” It’s a story of a chaotic childhood, brilliant eccentricity, and a song that took on a life of its own.
