• What is the True Method for Faith? Huff and Rogan Response
    Jan 10 2025

    A TON of great things came and are likely to come from Wes Huff chatting with Joe Rogan, and at the same time there is a reminder we can't forget as Christians in the world. What is the method that produces faith in man? I'll give you a hint, it isn't argumentation.

  • An Idiotic Approach to Beauty: Dostoevsky
    Dec 16 2024

    Fyodor Dostoevsky is an overwhelming and excellent writer with a profound understanding of the human experience. On today's episode, I ponder the ramifications of beauty in his work "The Idiot." How should we as Christians approach (and not approach) the question of beauty? Or a beautiful person in our lives? What of the Beauty of Christ?


    Look stupid to get smart, the intellectual idiot strikes again!

  • A Matter of Death and Life: Beautiful Play
    Dec 12 2024

    Season 1 of this Podcast was a strange admixture of things. Season 2 will focus much more on the things of beauty, but I reserve the right to talk about anything.

    This is a raw, relatively uncut musing on the nature of the hidden death in our society, on our disconnection from beauty and play, and what play really is in the context of some game studies. Enjoy!

    The Intellectual Idiot strikes forth, look stupid to get smart.

  • 15 Years Wasted? The End of my Military Career
    Oct 2 2024

    How would you keep going, keep pressing forward, if it felt like you had failed? Let me know in comments. I contemplate my last physical fitness test for the USAF and how it makes me consider how I have run my career race, and the larger race for Christ. / @workwisdomwonder ___________________________________________________________________________ Check out my blog at www.sibilantsword.com

  • The Realization that Changed my Life
    Oct 1 2024

    One raw realization leads to another, and another, as my whole life has been changed in a cascading display of God's grace. From struggling with depression to a deeper understanding, the Lord is gracious beyond comparing, and it's simpler than it seems. Simple, but not easy. Blog: https://sibilantsword.com/category/se...

  • What the HECK is Calvinism?
    Aug 21 2024

    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEYU4fCVFRQq8f8FJEK_VTQ?sub_confirmation=1 Today I join the fray that will get me burnt at the stake from the liberal theologians and others. Today, I talk about predestination and the dreaded Calvinism. Honestly, I could make and re-make this video ten thousand times and hardly scratch the surface of the debate and importance of it, but since I also have a day job, I figure it best to post and move on. Would love any questions and will maybe do specific responses to those questions in the future. This is meant to be educational rather than argumentative and to simply present the viewpoints and benefits of Calvinism. Ultimately if you are a Christian, I recommend you always wrestle with Scripture and deep things. Iron sharpening iron doesn't come without sparks and friction. Blessings!

  • Surf Session 2: What NOT to do...
    Aug 13 2024

    Today I tell a story from my early surf journey. Sorry no crazy beautiful overhead shots of waves or sick licks, just me telling a haunting tale of my own stupidity. Hope you find it fun though! Made more for a listen.
