S02E11: "The Not-So-Great Debate"

2011-11-20T23:36:00.001-05:00

Debating can quickly turn into disaster as it suddenly becomes a battlefield of stress, aggravation, anger... and pride.

S02E10: "The Angry God Complex"

2011-11-14T11:51:00.000-05:00

Does God have Anger? Does God have Wrath? You better believe it! But... there was more to Jesus Christ's Mission. "Apologies, this episode is a little lengthy, mostly because I got sidetracked in the beginning of the show into talking about a bunch of other stuff."

S02E09: "Other Aspects of Misusing God's Name"

2011-09-28T00:36:00.002-04:00

We've talked several times in past episodes about "The Second Commandment" and taking God's Name in vain, specifically focusing on using it as an expletive. But there are other aspects of taking His Name in vain. Very sneaky aspects that we usually won't notice...

S02E08: "The Negative Affect"

2011-07-17T02:02:00.002-04:00

The slobbering, snivveling, snarling effects of Negativity is rearing its ugly head in the lives of Christians and blinding them to its true affect.

S02E07: "Questions & Answers"

2011-07-11T15:45:00.000-04:00

It's a complete episode of questions and answers from two listeners to the show. Join my brother Timothy Harrison and myself as we delve into some controversial and touchy subjects in relation to some great questions.

S02E06: "Prayer" [Real]

2011-05-28T13:37:00.002-04:00

(Sorry about the mix-up with download links! This is the correct version)

In this episode we examine some aspects of prayer, how we have a problem of restricting it, possible ways of viewing the "prayer life", and more.

S02E05: "The Return II: Returning... Again, Part II"

2011-05-02T01:52:00.000-04:00

Christianese Radio returns.... again. After a very long two and a half months the show is back and Lord-willing back on track! This is kind of a free-for-all episode, though I mostly talk church-related topics... so it has a topic... but there is a lot of jumping around. So.... yeah. Enjoy.

S02E04: "Recognizing a Counterfeit"

2011-02-14T01:05:00.000-05:00

What is the best way to recognize the counterfeit? The answer is simple, but depending on what type of Christian you are, the application may be difficult. But how to you get past that difficulty?

S02E03: "St. John Chrysostom"

2011-01-31T01:45:00.000-05:00

Guest host Timothy Harrison joins me once again as we take a look at one of the great church fathers, John Chrysostom, and his contribution to Christianity in the early days, plus some of the controversy that surrounded him and his ministry.

S02E02: "Who Am I?"

2011-01-17T01:57:00.000-05:00

Christianese Radio isn't back for more than one episode, and already the "controversies" are flyin' as we start out with mail response to the previous episode. Then we jump right into the main topic of realizing what you possibly are not being told about just who you are in Christ.

S02E01: "God Is On The Move"

2011-01-03T02:03:00.000-05:00

Welcome to the return of Christianese Radio in this Season Two premiere episode. In this episode we examine what seems to be going on in Christian families worldwide... and what it might (and most likely does) mean. Apologies, as, quite obviously, there was a lot I wanted to fill you in on, this episode got a little length-y.

03-28-10 Half-Hour 2: "Recognizing Legalism, Part 2"

2010-03-29T02:21:00.002-04:00

Yes, back to a two-half-hour show already. I finish up this second half-hour with the second half the article on legalism and then share some more personal thoughts and struggles with this dangerous enemy of Christianity.

03-28-10 Half-Hour 1: "Recognizing Legalism, Part 1"

2010-03-29T02:20:00.002-04:00

What could potentially be your final regular episode of Christianese Radio (before the Easter Special), I open up on some personal issues; personal problems that God, either by Himself or through people, has revealed to me. Pointedly the problem that I have been swimming in Legalism and didn't even realize it. I share some thoughts (plus an audio response) and read an article on the subject.

03-08-10: "Scare Tactics"

2010-03-08T04:18:00.000-05:00

Note: An important announcement opens up the show, so please pay attention. We take a look at a subject that is just about as juicy as the Kids on Fire Ministries discussed in the very first episode of the show.

03-01-10: "Summer is Near"

2010-03-01T02:13:00.001-05:00

No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you: Only one half hour this time. And actually there is a possibility that may become the new norm for the show. More information in the introduction of the episode. In this episode, topic-wise, we discuss some of Jesus' words concerning the End Times and His Second Coming.

02-22-10 Half-Hour 2: "It Is Well With My Soul"

2010-02-22T01:51:00.000-05:00

Earlier this evening I struggled with God over the subject of trials and tribulations. We duked it out for nearly two hours, all the while I was asking for wisdom to understand, and as He promised in the Scriptures, He helped me to understand the difference between "cause" and "allow", and the ultimate result.

02-22-10 Half-Hour 1: "Over-Emphasizing God's Love"

2010-02-22T01:50:00.000-05:00

Last week we talked about how a large percentage of the American Church focuses too much on God's Anger, Hatred and Wrath, distorting (even more) the world's view of Yahweh as an Angry Judge who wants to smite us, but Jesus is standing in between us and God, holding God back. God's essence is not Anger, it is Love. But, as strange as it may sound, we can dangerously over-emphasize His Love...

02-15-10 Half-Hour 2: "The 'God of Anger, Hatred & Wrath'"

2010-02-15T02:52:00.000-05:00

I examine my previous attitude about God and who He is, along with the other Christians out there who insist on painting a picture for the world of an angry God who's out to kill everybody.

02-15-10 Half-Hour 1: "Personal Struggle with Stress"

2010-02-15T02:50:00.000-05:00

Christianese Radio finally returns after a two-week drought! And, as always, I bring some explanations to the table and share my personal struggle these past two weeks with stress and how God has been helping me. We also take a look at the old/new poll.

Please Listen to This (5 Minutes)

2010-02-08T00:21:00.000-05:00

A quick update on what's going on and why there has been no shows lately...

01-25-10 Half-Hour 2: "Is The Church Losing Focus?"

2010-01-25T01:39:00.002-05:00

A follow-up to last week's episode (Half-Hour 2) about tithing. A discussion for a person against tithing prompted me to think a lot about the current state of the church and how it may have lost its primary focus.

01-25-10 Half-Hour 1: "The OTHER Uncomfortable Subject"

2010-01-25T01:38:00.000-05:00

I apologize one hundred fold. This Half-Hour really is mostly me musing about sharing the Gospel, and some thoughts I've had about it this past week. But I talk about some other stuff, too. So don't worry. Too much.

01-18-10 Half-Hour 2: "Emergent Tithing"

2010-01-18T02:00:00.001-05:00

I know, I know. We've already dealt with the Emergent Church. But an article I read recently really shed some more light on the ideas behind and within it. In the remaining time we also talk briefly about Tithing, an uncomfortable subject for many Christians.

01-18-10 Half-Hour 1: "Number 50"

2010-01-18T02:00:00.000-05:00

It's Episode 50 of Christianese Radio! You never know what you might hear in this episode as we celebrate 50 episodes!

01-11-10 Half-Hour 2: "Media Highlights"

2010-01-11T01:30:00.000-05:00

We take a look at the latest Christianity-related highlight in the media and turn the clock back a bit to look at one from the past the some of you may not have had the chance to see or hear. It's things like the former that really are convincing me that God is still really hard at work here in the United States of America.

01-11-10 Half-Hour 1: "Tying Up Some Loose Ends"

2010-01-11T01:29:00.000-05:00

We take a look at last week's wonderful poll, the new poll, "wonderful" events in my life, Christian music, and finally read an e-mail in regards to the 12-10-09 episode, particularly the question about Self-Defense.

01-04-10 Half-Hour 2: "Introverts in Christianity"

2010-01-04T01:19:00.000-05:00

Yet again we read another article, but I found this one interesting; on the subject of Christian Introverts, this article/interview shares some encouragement to those of us who aren't necessarily shy as it were, but not as interactive as some Christians (extroverts) are.

01-04-10 Half-Hour 1: "Prophesying, Healing, and Overall Miracle-Making"

2010-01-04T01:17:00.000-05:00

Do Christians today still have the ability to perform miracles, such as healing, prophesying, etc.? Well there sure seem to be a lot of "Christians" out there who are under the impression that we still can. But we examine this subject and put it where it belongs: up against the Bible.

12-14-09 Half-Hour 2: "Declarations of the Church"

2009-12-15T02:31:00.000-05:00

Much is happening that is showing churches of various denominations uniting together to stand firm in their Faith. Yet, for whatever reason, there are some Christians who are crossing their arms and shaking their heads at this so-called 'unity'. In this half-hour we take a look at the Manhattan Declaration.

12-14-09 Half-Hour 1: "The Andrew Show"

2009-12-15T02:30:00.000-05:00

Couldn't help but take some pokes at my bro-in-law. In this Half-Hour we hear listener feedback from Andrew in regards to topics discussed in the previous episode.

12-10-09 Half-Hour 2: "In The News"

2009-12-10T01:46:00.000-05:00

Taking a look at two big items in the news of late. One of them is old news, the other is new news, and both of them are quite controversial.

12-10-09 Half-Hour 1: "Turnin' Up The Heat"

2009-12-10T01:45:00.000-05:00

Satan's putting on the pressure, but not only that, but in the midst of the stress opportunities that have been prayed for are opening up... but now there's second-guessing. We also take a look at the old and new Poll questions. All of this and more in Half-Hour 1.

11-30-09 Half-Hour 2: "The True Thanksgiving Story"

2009-11-30T01:46:00.000-05:00

Cheating just a little bit, I listen in with you guys as we play an audio clip from Rush Limbaugh's show in which he reads an excerpt about the true Thanksgiving Story from his book, See, I Told You. Note that I do not endorse Limbaugh as I know there can be times when he's a little... out there. But I really believe you will enjoy this researched presentation of how the first Thanksgiving really went, compared with the version we're all familiar with and the one that most of us have been taught.

11-30-09 Half-Hour 1: "Youth Groups... Continued"

2009-11-30T01:44:00.000-05:00

Returning again to the subject of Youth Groups we read a couple responses from listeners and blog-readers on the subject of Youth Groups, hearing both from a Youth Leader and a Youth Group attender, who both shed some light on the issue.

11-23-09 Half-Hour 2: "The Dangers of Youth Group"

2009-11-25T01:16:00.000-05:00

As a follow-up to the latest Christianese Radio Blog post by the same name (see below), I read the blogpost as well as an addendum and give some further thoughts and clarification on the matter. Youth Groups are sliding dangerously close to the Emerging Church movement; moreso than the Church itself. We need to be wary of what's going on and we need to call Youth Leaders' attention to the problem.

11-23-09 Half-Hour 1: "Satan's Regrets & Muslim Redemption"

2009-11-25T01:14:00.000-05:00

We finish up some discussion about the questions from the previous episode about Satan and his capability of turning back to God, as well as looking at the results of the latest poll question "Is there ever a BAD time to share the Gospel?". Finally we look at what God is doing in Muslim society, and how He is miraculously and awesomely saving Muslims.

11-02-09 Half-Hour 2: "The Question of Profanity"

2009-11-02T00:49:00.000-05:00

For many Christians the question of Profanity has a strong answer. But to other Christians... not so much. What is the (Biblical) story on Profanity? Is there a Biblical answer? But I think the real question many Christians ask in return is "Does this question really need an answer?" In this half-hour we read a couple of blogs on the subject of Profanity where Christians are concerned.

11-02-09 Half-Hour 1: "Caution in Spiritual Victory"

2009-11-02T00:48:00.000-05:00

We've all been there.... You've just overcome a sin in your life by the Grace of Christ, probably a huge sin. You're swimming in victory. Everything's going great. You feel happy. You almost feel like all this good stuff is suddenly happening all at once. Life is good. But... yes, of course there's a "but"... lurking in the shadows nearby, every time, is a watchful Enemy, grinning, because the Shields are dropping.

10-27-09 Half-Hour 2: "Surrendering to God's Will"

2009-10-27T02:33:00.001-04:00

Reflecting on what the Lord has been teaching me these past few weeks, we take a look at the recurring scenario throughout the Christian life of God revealing to us what He wants done, and we turn and run the other way. Perhaps He's calling us to do something such as Ministry. Perhaps He is calling us to turn from a sin we are habitually committing. We discuss these scenarios and show why it is important to trust God when He calls us to do something.

10-27-09 Half-Hour 1: "Power of Prayer, Lack of Discernment"

2009-10-27T02:31:00.000-04:00

This half-hour is sort of a mish-mash of thoughts from various different categories. Some things of interest in the news lately, most of which have brought this unshakable feeling to my mind... Finally I give a quick review and share some thoughts on the movie The Visitation based on the novel by Frank Peretti, and this rather accurate picture of the modern day church it illustrated.

10-19-09 Half-Hour 2: "Could Jesus Have Sinned?"

2009-10-19T02:49:00.000-04:00

No doubt that title got your attention. There is a silent conflict going on between two Christian divisions on the subject of whether or not Jesus Christ, while we know He did not sin, was capable of sinning. With help from an article, we discern this predicament and attempt to uncover the Biblical answer to this thought-provoking question. But beyond that we focus on the awesomeness of God, Who is above our limited human logic.

10-19-09 Half-Hour 1: "Bible Study, Polls, & Communication"

2009-10-19T02:48:00.000-04:00

The show is back, at last. As the scenario usually goes, I give some minor explanations, but then shift the focus over to more discussion about Bible Study and the last Poll Question ("Should Small Groups be Restricted to using the Bible?") and take a look at the new question (which should be interesting). Finally, Jesus said the End would not come until all the world had heard the Gospel. This seems a little far-fetched... but when we really examine what's going on in this day and age, it's not as far-fetched as it seems. And whether the secular world knows it or not, it's only aiding in bringing this prophecy about.

10-12-09 Half-Hour 2: "Freedom from Fear, Part 2"

2009-10-12T01:44:00.002-04:00

Special Episode of Christianese Radio featuring a sermon by Dr. Michael Youssef of Leading the Way.

10-12-09 Half-Hour 1: "Freedom from Fear, Part 1"

2009-10-12T01:44:00.000-04:00

Special Episode of Christianese Radio featuring a sermon by Dr. Michael Youssef of Leading the Way.

10-05-09 Half-Hour 2: "Satan's Tactic: Deception"

2009-10-05T02:23:00.000-04:00

Perhaps the Enemy's greatest tactic, Deception; the very first tactic he used on mankind. That old serpant has the ability to take something so vile look so good, and like-wise take something so good and make it look vile! "Do not be deceived!" James warns us. See the Enemy's tactics for what they really are. But, you know, sometimes we deceive ourselves! Which is yet more proof that we really can be flat-out stupid.

10-05-09 Half-Hour 1: "Representatives of Christ"

2009-10-05T02:22:00.000-04:00

Many Christians, myself included, having taken for granted what it actually means to be a Christian and a true follower of Christ. There is much more to it than we realize; we are representatives of Christ, not just mere followers, but representatives. In this half-hour we examine what it means to be a representative of Christ.

09-28-09 Half-Hour 2: "The First Commandment"

2009-09-28T01:28:00.000-04:00

As a followup, or part two, to Half-Hour 2 of the 09-08-09 show, "The Second Commandment", we return to the Ten Commandments, particularly the First Commandment, "You shall have no other gods before Me..." and the overall theme of putting God first and everything else second. In relationships, it's easy to put your spouse or girl/boyfriend before God, especially when something bad happens, like a break-up. And in other more serious occurrences, such as divorce or death of a husband or wife, it is easy to lost sight of God and focus on ourselves.

09-28-09 Half-Hour 1: "So here's what happened..."

2009-09-28T01:25:00.000-04:00

The show, at last, returns after a weeklong hiatus full of broken promises, but on the other hand, new features for the show (and new thoughts). In Half-Hour 1 I give an explanation as to what has been happening in the last week and why there was no new episode when it was promised twice in the same week that there would be. Also, among other things that have been happening within my "break from Christianese Radio", God has been revealing to me possibilities for my future in service to Him and His Kingdom.

09-15-09 Half-Hour 2: "Free-For-All-Tuesday, Part 2"

2009-09-15T01:03:00.000-04:00

New movies abroad, one already released, another coming next year. We take a look at the latter, a new movie entitled Legion, and the plotline, then switch over to the one that is currently out, entitled Lord, Save Us From Your Followers, which may, or may not, be what Christianity (and the world) needs. We then take a look at Discernment Ministries listed of supposed "Heretics". And finally, speaking of heresy, we take a look at Joel Osteen's latest book, It's Your Time.

09-15-09 Half-Hour 1: "Free-For-All-Tuesday, Part 1"

2009-09-15T01:01:00.000-04:00

It's been a while but it is, at long last, time for a free-for-all. In this episode we wrap up last week's poll and answer its question, with help from Dr. Michael Youssef, "Is Acting a form of Lying?" then take a look at the new Bi-Weekly Poll Question (to the Right and scroll down). I also talk about some spiritual warfare and re-evaluations going on in my life. Plus we take a look at what the roots of the show have always been.

09-09-09 Half-Hour 2: "Examining the Conversion"

2009-09-09T01:51:00.000-04:00

Warning! What you hear within may sound heretical but I don't mean it that way. We examine (further) why there is no need to change the Gospel to make it more applicable to today's generation because the Holy Spirit is the One Who is doing the work! A lot of Christians today have also lost the sincerity in their Gospel messages when speaking to the Lost. Finally we end with a clip from a powerful gripping sermon by Pastor Carter Conlon that was preached on the Sunday following the World Trade Center devastation of September 11, 2001.

09-09-09 Half-Hour 1: "Japanese Jesus & Random Ramblings"

2009-09-09T01:50:00.000-04:00

I know, I know, I just released an episode. In the time since releasing the episode for 09-08-09 (see below), much has come to my attention; thoughts, important points, interesting topics.... and just crazy stuff that's going on elsewhere in the world (I'm sure the first-half of the title of this half-hour quickly caught your attention). In this half-hour we discuss the Christianese Poll, Communion, more Postmodernism & Mark Driscoll, young adults in whom's lives God is really hard at work... and the revealed truth about Jesus and his escape from death.

09-08-09 Half-Hour 2: "The Second Commandment"

2009-09-08T02:02:00.000-04:00

Every Christian at some point in his or her life has habitually committed a sin that they didn't feel convicted over. Therefore they dismissed it as not mattering, that it was okay to commit that sin because they didn't feel guilty. In Half-Hour 2 we examine what your sin may not necessarily be doing to you, but what it's doing to God. Your sin, though you may not think it's hurting you because you're not feeling convicting, is coming with a price.

09-08-09 Half-Hour 1: "Driscoll: Concluding Thoughts"

2009-09-08T02:01:00.000-04:00

You have heard my opinions and the opinions of the article's author on Mark Driscoll, now let's hear your thoughts on this popular pastor. Is he fit to lead? Note that responses may continue after this episode if you'd like to share your thoughts, whether it's to share your opinion of why he shouldn't be behind the pulpit, or make a defense for him. E-mail us your thoughts or send in a voicemail.

08-31-09 Half-Hour 3: "Mark Driscoll: Is He Fit To Lead?, Part 2"

2009-08-31T14:21:00.000-04:00

We examine Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle by reading an article from TheChristianWorldview.com. Is this popular pastor fit to lead? This is part 2 of the article.

Plus, audio testimony from a young man who thought he was saved but discovered otherwise and how he combated his Sin nature.

08-31-09 Half-Hour 2: "Mark Driscoll: Is He Fit To Lead?, Part 1."

2009-08-31T14:19:00.000-04:00

We examine Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle by reading an article from TheChristianWorldview.com. Is this popular pastor fit to lead? This is part 1 of the article.

08-31-09 Half-Hour 1: "What Is Postmodernism?."

2009-08-31T14:17:00.000-04:00

We answer the question "What is Postmodernism?" by reading yet another article from CARM.org. This is the first part of a 3-parter about Emerging-Church-related discussion.

08-24-09 Half-Hour 2: "Universal Health Care."
