How Ancient Promises Line Up with the Newer Events

This episode walks through old stories that, weirdly, start to make sense when you see them together: a father and his only son on a mountain, a bronze snake lifted up, a man in the depths for three days, and pierced hands and feet. These details were written ages before they happened, and watching them line up with later events is kind of mind-blowing. If you've ever wondered whether the Bible's threads connect or if it's just coincidence, this short tour might change how you look at the stories. No pressure, just read, think, and see what sticks.

The Unrefined Guys Ep 222: Ballots, Botched Executions & Rougue AI

The Unrefined Guys Ep 222: Ballots, Botched Executions & Rougue AI Tommie and Bear catch up after a weird Saturday recording, roast some questionable movie picks (including a kraken-octopus house invasion and a cult kidnapping flick), then dig into Colorado’s loaded ballot initiatives, the Tennessee lethal injection that failed to finish the job, the Fort Hood shooter’s firing-squad livestream, and the Cornell frat case that has everyone picking sides. They also get into AI’s latest stunt (submitting a fake homicide tip) and whether Waymos are just Big Brother on wheels. Unrefined takes all the way through.

Tommie's Take Ep 28 No One Knows the Hour: Reading Between the Prophecy Headlines

A clear, no-nonsense walk through the Noah’s Ark buzz, the red heifer hoopla, and the politics around the Third Temple and what it actually means for how we live. No predictions, no fearmongering. Just the reminder that the timing is God’s business, not ours. If you want a friendly nudge to stop scanning for a date and start living like the master could walk through the door, this one is for you.

Tommie's Take; Vanilla, a good flavor but NOT for Church A Wake-Up Call Ep 27

If you’ve ever left a Sunday service feeling comforted but unsettled, this one’s for you. I try to cut through the fog. Loving people doesn’t mean hiding truth and kindness. Without clarity, we lose the next generation. Listen like you’re talking to a friend. This isn’t about politics; it’s about whether the church will be brave enough to speak the whole, TRUE gospel, even when it costs something.

What We've Lost and How We Rise

This one is raw and honest. It walks through the shock of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the messy, ugly reactions, and the surprising revival that followed, all while tying it back to the memory of 9/11. It’s gonna sting, but it points to something hopeful: showing up and the quiet work that actually saves a country. Come with an open heart and a lot of courage.

Tommie's Take Ep 23: Grief and the tearing of the Temple veil

Tommie breaks down how grief, the Temple veil, the sacrificial system, and Passover all point to Jesus’ death. He explains the significance of the curtain tearing from top to bottom at the moment of Christ’s death, not just as access to God being opened, but as God Himself grieving and ending the old system so that ordinary, broken people like us can come in. This episode mixes historical context, biblical connections (goats, Passover lamb, Barabbas), and personal reflections to show why that event still matters for believers today.
