This week we interviewed Ruslan and discussed, being married young, men not committing to relationships young, dealing with Porn, merging Christianity with “The Culture”, critiquing Mega Pastors, + More. Time Stamps: 0:00 - Preview 1:10 - Why don't people care about God like that? 7:45 - Being Married Young. 11:49 - What's stopping men from getting married younger? 29:25 - Dealing with Porn 40:45 - "The Culture" 50:52 - Discipline to be a Christian YouTuber 57:13 - Critiquing mega pastors 1:07:25 - What is a healthy expectation for a pastor? Big takeaways from the conversation: 1. You have to know who you are in Christ. If you don’t know who you are in Christ you may end up chasing vanity metrics (i.e. more money, more followers, more women, etc.) which is ultimately unfulfilling 2. Know what your goals “cost”. If you are working towards a goal, make sure you’ve done the research to know what it takes to obtain that goal. If not you may realize later in life that you were not working hard enough OR maybe even compromising your integrity. 3. Many media platforms today that lead conversations are “Gossip” based. Christians in media have an opportunity to dominate these spaces with content that is entertaining but not “Gossip.” 4. You are responsible for yourself more than any pastor or faith leader. 5. Being a pastor is hard.

As Christians, we are called to live free. We are called to be uniquely ourselves and walk out our God-given gifts. Doing that can be difficult when being a Christian can seem to come along with societal pressures. (I.e. girls can't wear bikinis, you can’t get tattoos, you can't cuss, you can't eat pork, etc.). In this episode, our hope is to separate what’s MAN MADE and what’s GOD / BIBLE and hopefully alleviate some of the pressure Christians feel today to meet societal pressures.

Patrick Wise breaks down why many people feel Christianity may be “The White Man’s religion” and talks about the truth behind the faith and answers questions like:  1. Are people of Color in the Bible?   2. Was Jesus White?    3. Can we trust Christianity? And more!

With so many different belief systems, perspectives, denominations, religious practices ect. It can sometimes be difficult and confusing to understand what it means to be a “Christian”. A Christian is a believer and follower of Jesus Christ. Although attending church regularly, serving the less fortunate, being a good person ect. are all things that many Christians do, it is our FAITH in Jesus that that allows us to be saved.  Ephesians 2:8 (NIV) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God   On this Episode of The Getting to the Truth Podcast pastor, friend, and spiritual leader Paul Pitts III breaks down what exactly it means to be a Christian in a way that is simple and easy to understand.

Can We Trust The Bible? Many people today question the validity of the Bible. Many of us question whether or not the Bible is a book of fact or fiction. Many people struggle with understanding / accepting that the bible is reliable, accurate, relatable and relevant. With so much information available, we just want to be assured that the foundations our lives are built on are trustworthy and true. On this episode of the Getting To The Truth Podcast, Brittney Brown answers questions about the Bible.

Right now we live in a world that highlights exterior things. How you look, how much money you have, how many followers you have. Most people know that there will always be someone who looks better, has more money or has more followers but yet many of us still focus primarily on these exterior things. The Bible is a book that provides solutions to many of the world's problems. When you read the Bible it touches on internal work way more than extertal work because who you are inside matters way more than who you are outside. We all should consistently be working on who we are internally and that is exactly what a relationship with God will do.  We need to work on who we are internally and not just work on who we are externally. 

“You don't have to be perfect” is a phrase we hear often when hearing about being a believer in Christ. Although we hear it often many of us still find ourselves feeling the pressures and being having to be perfect and the guilt and shame of not being perfect. Essentially, for the rest of our lives we are being delivered from the habit of sin and will consistently be a work in progress. Our righteousness comes through faith.

It is important to know we are artist because God is. It is possible to be an Artist who is Christian and not just a “Christian artist”. Many artists who are christian are not extremely vocal about being christian. This may be due to the fact that an artist may be potentially type casted into being a “Gospel Artist” or “Christian artist” once they do. Once typecasted, artists are then often held to a standard that is not sustainable or true to the artist. When artists are labeled as “Christian artists” the public often expects them to produce assets that are “wholesome” and that can be directly correlated to Jesus.   

In a world where everyone's fighting for our attention, it's hard to sit down and figure ourselves out spiritually. And when you sit down, it can be difficult to figure out when you have every religion screaming “this is God!”. It can be so overwhelming that you end up just saying things like, “there probably is a God, but I don't know who that God is”   For a lot of people this just ends up being something that gets put on a shelf as life continues to go on. Life's not easy and a real important question that everyone has to ask themselves is “what if what you’ve been searching for your whole life has been with God the whole time?” ......

Being a believer in Christ is so much more than just not sinning. It’s not all about what we don’t do it’s really about what we DO. As believers we are called to:   1. Love: We are called to love. Not just those who are nice to us but those  who do not love us back.    2. Have faith: We are blessed in that we can have an optimistic perspective because we know God got us. We don’t have to be perfect, by having faith we are made perfect.    3. Give our God given gifts to the world: Everyone has a unique gift that the worlds needs.

On this episode of the Getting To The Truth Podcast Darko and Veronica discuss the difference between relationship and Religion in the context of being a believer in Christ. In the faith community we often hear the two compared. We want to help provide clarity on the difference between the two and the role both relationship and religion play in our walk with Jesus.   We hope this video helps you in your walk with Jesus and helps improve your relationship with God.
