The Never Settle Podcast

Just a few guys pursuing the lifelong journey of discovering Truth and pursuit of a deeper and more intimate relationship with our Creator YHWH and our Messiah and King Yahushua and His Set Apart Spirit. Each week is an agenda free open forum to discuss new things we encounter and/or things people bring up as discussion topics. Everything is on the table, we dive in seeing if we as individuals and people in general are really seeking His will, or are we only interested in the things that already fit within what we already believe? If not there is a spirit of rebellion and pride creeping in there saying I already know God, I already have it figured out… BUT what if we don’t? What if we still have a long beautiful journey ahead of us but our pride is keeping us stagnant because of our unwillingness to truly seek His will regardless of whether or not its what we have always done, always believed or always been taught? Are we humble? Are we interested in seeking God how He wants us to or how we want to?

Ep. 19 – Who is the King of our Life

Inspired by the reflections of one of our team members in a meeting, we unpack the question: is Messiah truly the King of our life, or are we? Are we living like He is? Or are we more concerned with our comforts and selfish interests. We talk about the judgments of YHWH and how those…

Ep. 18 – The Power of Perspective and Hope

Ep. 17 – The Simplicity of Eternal Life

In this episode we explore what it means to have eternal life means and how simple and concrete this concept is Biblically even though it is so often over-complicated and abstracted.

Ep. 16 – Is Biblical Self-Defense a Righteous Response to Threat?

This might be a “Part 1” of the broader topic: Biblical Application of the use of Force.

The challenge is that there seem to be potentially conflicting examples / instructions in the Bible itself. How…

Ep. 15 – What is Stewardship and What Does the Bible Say About It?

This podcast comes from one of those situations in which you think you’re solid on a particular topic to only be reading the Word and have the Spirit show you and expose a deeper or new truth you completely missed or misunderstood. Because of that we ended up asking ourselves, what is stewardship and unpacking…

Ep. 14 – My Yoke is Easy and My Burden Light

Why is that Messiah / Jesus / Yahushua tells us that His Yoke is easy, and His burden light when we feel weighed down and burdened all the time? Matt 11:28-30 28Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn from…

Ep. 12 – Passover, Eternal Perspective, and Asking Questions

  It wouldn’t be a Never Settle Podcast if we stayed focused on one topic alone. In this episode we take a look at what it really means to know that God’s (YHWH’s) Spirit is living inside of us. We spend so much time looking back at the Old Testament saying things like “That’s crazy…

Ep 11 – How to Define Our Brand and Select Our Board Keeping the Kingdom First

Ep. 10 – The freedom of belief and jumping out of planes

  Do we believe the Word of God is a manual for every part of our lives? If so what is the definition of actually “believing” something? We’re learning that true belief doesn’t stop at merely accepting a free parachute, but jumps out of the plane with it on our back. Romans 9:20 Luke 11:38…

Ep. 09 – Putting It All On the Table

We decided to take break from the Caesar’s Messiah conversation and got into an interesting conversation about what it means to challenge the things we believe and the ways in which to go about it.

Ep. 08 – Examining "Caesar's Messiah" Part 1

This week we start to explore the topic of “Caesar’s Messiah” – a flawed theory based primarily on the works of Flavius Josephus about the origin of the New Testament, which reaches the conclusion that Jesus Christ (as recorded in the traditional Gospels) was a fabrication of the Roman Empire. Recently, based on the suggestion…

Ep. 07 – What is our responsibility in understanding the roots of our convictions?

Sometimes the deeper we dive it feels like everything is tied to paganism leaving us asking “what isn’t contaminated, convoluted, or counterfeit?” and in discovering that we get a feeling overwhelmed by how to approach it. But the real question is how much do we want to know our creator? Is our pursuit of God…

Ep. 04 – The Difference Between YHWH's name and His titles

In this episode we dissect the very large topic of what our Creator’s name and the importance of His name YHWH and what the difference is between His actual name Yahweh (YHWH) and His tiles (Creator, Father, El, Elohim, etc.) This is a massive topic and we by no means have it figured out but…
