This is a short clip from a longer interview found here: https://youtu.be/a686EkPTP6M Micah Wilder was raised a faithful Latter-Day Saint, or LDS which some people might know better as ‘Mormon’. He is a co-founder of Adams Road ministry, a music ministry that is performed at over 1000 churches across the U.S. He briefly attended Brigham Young University, and at the age of 19 went on a two year...
Heads up... Dense conversation ahead. You've been warned. What do you do when suddenly everything in your culture gets turned around? We're finding more and more people embracing blatant lies thinking it's the high moral ground. As language becomes less expressive, minds are more easily controlled. Wrong is right. Right is wrong. Up is down. Down is up. Babies in the womb aren't actually babi...
The link to the longer video is found here: https://youtu.be/C8K8h0OL9sQ Proverbs 23:7 says "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." For many people, this is a scripture that means that we'll attract what we think about. This is a proof text used to supposedly show that our thoughts have magnetic power, and if we can harness the power of positive thinking then we can become what we think abo...
This is a shorter clip from a longer interview done with John Cooper from Skillet. In this clip, we talk about how it's difficult to discern who's a Christian anymore and when we have Christian leaders who were elevated to celebrity status but never really had a high degree of truth for Scripture. Longer video can be found here: https://youtu.be/oF9cnI7nlAQ Resources mentioned in the video: ...
The link to the longer video is found here: https://youtu.be/-JlSa26DVGY If we ask Jesus to protect us before we sin, is He obligated to? The advice that's given in the book, "The Physics of Heaven" by Bethel is to have more faith in the Lord's ability to keep you than the Devil's ability to steal you away, and that you can never be snatched out of Jesus's hand. Their logic is that if you're a...
What happens when you die? Is heaven real? What about reincarnation, NDE's, hell, and if the soul even exists? Lots of people ask questions about these topics and wonder if they're compatible with Christianity. (Spoiler alert... they're not.) We have a conversation about these topics from a Biblical Christian worldview. These are topics that Lee Strobel covers in his new book, "A Case for H...
I'm very excited to share this video. I loved making it. In this video, I’m going to give you some core differences between the type of love we see expressed in society, the culture, and the world compared to the love that is taught in the Bible… and yes, there’s a big difference. When I was in the New Age, I had a complete distortion of what I understood ‘love’ to be, but at the time I truly p...
Salvation and water baptism are a lot like marriage. It’s not the wedding ring that makes you married, right? It’s the inner commitment and the vows that you take. Accepting Jesus as Lord and committing your life to Him, is like the wedding vows, the commitment that comes from within. The water baptism is like putting on the wedding ring. You want people to know that you’re married. It’s a publ...
In my opinion, one of the most misunderstood passages in the gospels is in John 10:33-36 when Jesus is talking to the Pharisees. It says, “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.” Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’? If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—...
In this clip, I speak about how we can learn something from others with a different view, and why we need to be wise when properly representing other viewpoints. My friend Rob Bowman made this post, and he's one of the most respected men in his field. He's a biblical scholar and apologist with 35 years of ministry experience. He's authored about a dozen books, one of my favorites being, "Putt...
Just a heads up... I just had too much fun making this video. The sass... the tea... the lame jokes. Next level. Today’s video are just ways to make you the most interesting person at your next dinner party. For those of you who are senior Christians, then just a heads up, this video isn’t really aimed at you, but who knows, there might be something you didn’t know! After a recent conversatio...
To some people, an emotional high with God means they’re close with Him and He is pleased with them. They're addicted to the sensation. To them, if you're not constantly filled with the Holy Spirit... if you're not 'twitterpated all the time... then you're not as loved by God. What happens when people don’t believe they’re loved by God unless they’re having constant supernatural encounters with...
Is there a better way to talk to and treat those you disagree with? Does loving others with who we vastly disagree mean we have to sacrifice our theology (and humanity) to do it? Where do we draw the line? Does the topic of Calvinism, atheism, politics, LGBTQ+, or other contentious topics deeply anger you to the point of being aggressive and reactively lashing out about it? How can we act mor...
For a while now I’ve been wanting to cover this topic about God’s attributes, and in my study of putting together this video, I discovered that this is also a *great* way to show the validity, perfection, and necessity of God being a Trinity, particularly in God’s love. I think a lot of unbelievers-and even believers- think they know who God is and how He functions. But so many things are compl...
*This was originally on my podcast. I uploaded it here to YouTube land for your listening pleasure. There is no video of this, just audio.* Men are amazing, useful, necessary, and contribute immeasurably to society. Demi Lovato is a woman. A few years ago both of these statements would have been obviously true and acceptable. Now, they conjure up wrath, division, and bitterness. Sometimes I...
I had the great privilege to sit with my friend Dan Tate and talk about Mormonism. Dan used to be LDS. (Latter Day Saint, another name for Mormons, for those that don't know.) In this short clip he discusses some stereotypical views of Mormonism and some background on Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon.

Here's my top ten... ish.... book list for 2021! (Lifehack: If you put 'ish' at the end of anything, you can apparently make it longer!) This is definitely not an exhaustive list, nor are they in any particular order. These are the books that have made a big impact on me this year. I wanted to add books that were (mostly) new and different from interviews I've done this year with the author. Ha...
Paul and Morgan are Christian YouTubers that some of you might have come across on your Tubes of You scrolling adventures. Through a very interesting series of events, I came across a video that they did about how they left the Hyper-Charismatic movement. (This is purposely called *hyper* charismatic because it's an extreme belief about how God works in the supernatural.) Intrigued, I watched i...

1 John 4:16-18 says: "So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishm...
I had the awesome privilege of interviewing Priscilla Shirer! What a blessing it was to hear her story and testimony of growing up as the daughter of Dr. Tony Evans, discovering her call to ministry and how she's dealt with significant challenges such as loss and grief in her life. Priscilla has an international ministry called Going Beyond that focuses on equipping and empowering women for m...
Did Jesus go to hell between his death and his resurrection? Many questions have been asked about what Jesus did between his death and his resurrection. Some believe that Jesus went to hell. Where does this idea that Jesus went to hell come from in the scriptures? Well, it turns out there are several interpretations as to what Jesus was up to during this 3-day period. This video will explore ...
Statistics show that many millennials are leaving the church in rapid fashion. Compared to previous generations, there is a mass exodus away from the church, or any organized religion for that matter, among many millennials. Why is this happening? Why are so many millennials disinterested in church? Are their reasons valid? Equally as important, what can the church do to reach millennials who...
I believe that Jesus would be considered a false teacher if He were to live and teach among us today. In this video I provide three reasons why I believe this is true. I've spoken quite a bit in the past on the subject of false teachers and false teachings and I believe there is one more component to the conversation that needs to be said. As we discuss the topic of false teachers, let's exam...
Should Christians get plastic surgery? Is it okay for a Christian to make alterations to their God-given body to enhance their own beauty? What are the different types of plastic surgeries and are they all the same? In this video we will explore the topic of Christians and plastic surgery because it is becoming more and more popular for people to elect to get plastic surgery for a variety of re...

Let us know in the comments if any of the people on my list of favorite preachers are on you...
I love watching the Olympics every four years. When they come on I'm normally glued to my television set watching the various events. I believe there are some great lessons we can learn from the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games. In this video I want to explore 11 of those lessons and key into three of the people who have made headlines this year in the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games. SUBSCRIBE TO THE BEAT!...
Are you about to experience a difficult change in your life? Change is something that we must always face because we are constantly faced with changes. Well, the good news is that the Bible has some great practical wisdom for how to deal with difficult life changes whether they may be relational, familial, financial or something else. This video will provide you with what I believe are 5 esse...
Critical race theory has become one of the most talked about subjects in our society today. Many people have very strong opinions about critical race theory and whether it should be taught in our schools and in our communities and in our churches. It is also one of the most misunderstood subjects as well. If we are not careful we will allow issues and topics like critical race theory to divid...
Is Christianity the “white man’s religion?” Now at first thought you may be wondering, “why would Allen make such a video dealing with this topic?” But you may be surprised at how many people have asked this question over the years AND how many cult groups are trying to persuade many black people into believing this. So, how would you answer this question? This video will not be only explai...
Husband and wife co-pastoring is becoming more popular today in many contemporary churches. But the question remains...Is this Biblical? In this video we will explore whether it is biblical to have a female co-pastoring with her husband. The culture will tell us that co-pastoring is okay. But, what does God's word have to say about it? Link to the blog I mentioned: https://www.kathyescobar.co...
Perhaps you’ve heard that there are multiple views on the end times. There is the pre-millennial view, the amillennial view and the post-millennial view. These are the main views regarding the return of Christ. Proponents of each of these views strongly believe that their view is correct and Biblical. So this video seeks to provide a brief, but detailed overview of the four major views of the...
