  1. Evangelize Better Than A Mormon

    Evangelize Better Than A Mormon

    Let’s be real—Mormons are out-hustling most Christians in evangelism. But what if you could learn to fish for souls the way Jesus taught His disciples—naturally, logically, and humbly? This bold message challenges passive faith and calls us back to the mission: to actually lead people to Jesus. Not with weird scripts or forced conversations, but with Spirit-empowered authenticity and gospel clarity. Whether you’ve never shared your faith or you’re just out of rhythm, this is your invitation t...

    A Big Move, A Bigger Mission

    In this episode of Skeptics & Saints, Nolan and Lindsay unpack the massive transition happening at The Garden—a move to a new school, a surge in attendance, and a front-row seat to a move of God in real time. But this isn’t just about logistics. This is about embracing the Jesus adventure, being “logged on” to the Holy Spirit, and stepping into your role as a church planter—whether you realize it or not. 💡 What does it mean to live on mission instead of just consuming church? 🔥 How do we ...

    There Is No Maturing Without Serving

    We live in a grind culture that exalts hustle, self-protection, and personal achievement over everything. The world tells us to chase success, build our own platforms, and seek recognition. But Jesus shows us a radically different way: Serving. True maturity isn’t measured by knowledge or status—it’s measured by a heart that’s willing to roll up its sleeves and serve others. There is no true spiritual growth without serving. Jesus Himself, the King of Kings, took the form of a servant, humble...

    Before You Deconstruct, Ask This!

    Deconstruction. It’s become a buzzword, a movement, and for many, a path away from Christianity. But before you walk away from faith, are you sure you know what you’re leaving behind? From Josh Harris, who once led purity culture and later renounced his faith, to Abraham Piper, who turned deconstruction into a viral movement, we’ve seen a pattern: tearing down faith without rebuilding anything in its place. But deconstruction doesn’t have to mean destruction. In this episode, we unpack the ...

    Why Reading the Bible Feels Impossible (And How to Fix It)

    Have you ever started reading the Bible with good intentions, only to fizzle out somewhere in Leviticus? Or maybe you’ve never opened it because it feels outdated, confusing, or irrelevant. If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent with Bible reading, you’re not alone. In this episode, we break down why reading the Bible often feels so difficult—and more importantly, how to fix it. We’ll unpack why spiritual discipline without delight feels like a chore, but delight without discipline leads...

    Should Christians Make New Year’s Resolutions?

    As the new year begins, many believers ask: Should Christians set goals and make resolutions? Is planning for personal growth biblical, or is it just a worldly mindset? In this episode, we take a deep dive into what Scripture says about goal-setting, stewardship, and real progress in the Christian life. We’ll discuss how goal-setting isn’t about identity but about faithfulness, the difference between self-improvement and overcoming sin, and why action-based goals are more effective than chasi...

    Caught With Unholy Underpants: A Christian's Take On Mormonism

    Think Mormonism is just about family values and quirky traditions like celestial planets and “holy underpants”? Think again. In this episode, we peel back the layers to uncover the shocking history and doctrines that reveal why Mormonism isn’t just different—it’s dangerous. Did you know Joseph Smith was a convicted conman before founding the LDS Church?Or that he manipulated women into marriage with threats of damnation?What about the fact that Mormon theology rewrites Christianity entirely, ...
