How much should Christians give, and where’s the line between funding ministry and turning faith into a product?

When you’re building a business, do you tithe on gross income, profit, or what you actually pay yourself? Micah and Pastor Taylor talk about tithing, generosity, financial anxiety, and why having money isn’t the same as worshiping it.

They also revisit their comments about Bryce Crawford’s Christian energy drink and respond to Ruslan’s reaction. The conversation gets into paying pastors, monetizing Christian platforms, and whether good intentions are enough when money and ministry overlap.

Later, they answer listener questions about public school versus Christian education and homeschooling, whether you can lose your salvation, what happens between death and final judgment, and why a good God allows suffering. Taylor closes with why he believes Christianity is true and why asking honest questions doesn’t mean abandoning your faith.

In this episode of Call Him Father, Micah and Pastor Taylor return to the conversation around grief, suffering, healing, and what it looks like to walk with God through pain.

Micah talks about the recurring nature of grief after losing his friend Dylan, how certain days and memories can reopen the wound, and why time alone does not automatically heal. Taylor walks through a Christian theology of grief, lament, suffering, and hope, explaining why Christians are not called to pretend pain is not real, but to bring that pain honestly into the presence of Jesus.

They talk about mourning with hope, the danger of distracting yourself instead of processing grief, how suffering can harden your heart if it is not brought to God, whether there can be joy in suffering, how to comfort others when everyone is hurting, and why Jesus is not a last resort but the first place we should run.

Then they answer listener questions about suffering, morality, world religions, angel numbers, and finding a healthy church. Do all religions worship the same God? Is Christianity just one path among many? Are angel numbers harmless, or are they connected to occult spirituality? What should you actually look for when choosing a church?

In this episode of Call Him Father, Micah and Pastor Taylor talk through one of the heaviest questions Christians ask: if a Christian commits suicide, do they go to heaven?

They discuss whether suicide is the unforgivable sin, what the Bible says about blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, how Christians should think about salvation, and why someone’s final moment does not erase the finished work of Christ if they truly belong to Him.

Micah also shares part of his own story of walking through suicidal thoughts, self-harm, depression, and the importance of inviting trusted people into the pain instead of staying isolated.

The conversation also covers spiritual warfare, demonic oppression, mental health, habitual sexual sin, true repentance, assurance of salvation, Catholicism, Protestantism, communion, and what it means to take the Lord’s Supper seriously.

In this episode of Call Him Father, Micah and Pastor Taylor talk about Bible translations, alcohol, drunkenness, communion, and the story of Judas.

They start with a lighter conversation about the Bible app, paper Bibles, Bible translations, and why Taylor generally recommends translations like the ESV and NIV while warning against weaker paraphrases and unreliable translations.

From there, they ask whether Jesus drank wine, what the Bible actually says about alcohol, and where Christians should draw the line between drinking and drunkenness. They discuss personal conscience, wisdom, addiction history, caring for your body as a temple, and why the Bible condemns drunkenness without creating rules God did not make.

The conversation then moves into communion and why the Lord’s Supper should be approached with reverence. Taylor explains why communion is not just a casual religious ritual, why unbelievers should not feel embarrassed staying seated, and why Christians should examine their hearts before coming to the table.

Finally, they talk about Judas, whether he went to heaven or hell, what his betrayal reveals about sin, money, false discipleship, and the difference between Judas and Peter. Both betrayed Jesus, but Peter returned to Christ and received grace, while Judas did not.

How should Christians handle thirst traps, lust, and temptation online?

In this episode of Call Him Father, Micah and Pastor Taylor talk about modesty, social media, lust, pornography, and how young Christians should respond to sexual temptation in a hypersexualized online world.

They discuss what the Bible says about modesty, why attention and validation can become addictive, how social media algorithms work against purity, and why both men and women are called to honor God with how they present themselves.

They also get practical about what to do when thirst traps show up in your feed, why unfollowing or blocking accounts can be a wise step, how young men can build real guardrails against lust, and why “premeditated sin” often starts with small compromises that seem harmless at first.

The conversation also touches on joy and happiness, asking whether God actually wants Christians to be happy and why the gospel should produce real joy in the life of a believer.
