I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

Continuing to march through and with Mark at River Of Life OPC in Phillipsburg, NJ. In this passage Jesus tells His disciples of His mission to suffer, die, and rise. But Peter does not like this plan and tells the LORD. Peter had his mind on the things of man and not God.

The goal was to stand on the truth of God’s word while honoring Christ as holy as Peter writes. However, my main goal was not only to defend what I believe and expose the unbeliever’s world view as untenable, but also to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The two unbeliever I spoke with had different world view from that of myself as well as from each other. One is a very skeptical person who claims to reject the Bible because it was written by men. He also claims to believe “science.” The other is more of an agnostic who claims things are too big for us to know, yet he believes there is someone who made the world and has a sense of spirituality. Justin My first discussion was with Justin. I do not know him very well and we only had a few discussions previously on Facebook. My family knows his wife from a church we used to attend together. In the conversation you will hear Justin make claims about science being true and how the bible is not because he believes it is just a book of the thoughts of man. Justin also explains that he hopes there is something after we die but he claims we do not know. One other important thing to know about Justin is that he is a vegan. He is enthusiastic about how mankind treats and mistreat animals. He is sort of a vegan apologist as he was trying to persuade me in the way of veganism. As you listen to this conversation you will notice, at least in his presentation, that Justin really has not fully thought out what he believes. I tried my best to stay on target with him but there were a few times we went down rabbit holes. What I wanted to show him was the inconstancies in his world while pointing out to him that he knows God because he is made in His image. For example, Justin believes people should be good. I asked him by what standard should we be good? Not much was given from him in the way of an answer. Shail The second conversation was with Shail. I met Shail back in 2004 when I was his high school music teacher. We reconnected later in life bonding over New York Mets baseball. Shail was raised in what seems to be a nominal Hindu family. He does not really follow Hindu teaching but does celebrate some Hindu holidays. When he told me this it reminded me of those who claim to be Christian but only attend church on Christmas and Easter. As you listen to this conversation you will hear a very different world view from that of Justin. Shail believes there has to be something outside of mankind that created the world. He has a belief about the after life concerning the “energy” of people returning into the universe. Overall, Shail says some good things, but his foundation is shaky. He is not standing on the Rock of Christ. Conclusion In both conversations there were things I wanted to address but I had limited time. In the short time I desired to listen more and expose their inconsistencies when I could while getting to the Gospel as much as possible. I know there were points that I missed and times I may have gone off on tangents away from the covenantal approach, but I wanted to keep the conversation flowing. Most importantly, I wanted to point both these men to Christ, the true reason I believe what I believe. A point that came up in both conversations was morality. If both men believe there are things humans should and should not do to other human beings it exposes that they are made in the image of God. Being made in God’s image they are in covenant with Him. As Dr Oliphint puts it in his book Covenantal Apologetics,…

This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanse us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 1 John 1:5-10 Christian Podcast Community http://christianpodcastcommunity.org Twitter @DarylUpdike @WhatAreWeEvenD1 If you would like to help support my seminary training http://dupdike.wtstuition.com…

On this episode I had the honor to talk with Pastor Jon Moffitt from the podcast Theocast. We talk about him and his show, as well as the sometimes-controversial topic of Lordship salvation. Please take a listen and hear his explanation of this subject, and why we must look to Christ for our salvation and not how well we follow Him. Also, I mention on this episode that I am starting at Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia, PA this summer. I can really use your prayers in getting through the next few years while balancing family, work, and now school. My goal is to eventually plant reformed churches wherever God leads. This process is also a financial commitment. The seminary has granted me a matching scholarship where they match donations up to a certain amount. On the episode I may have wrongly said they match the total amount given. I did not mean to be misleading. I am asking if you would also consider partnering with me in this mission to gain proper biblical training and receive the tools to study, teach, and preach the Scriptures so many can hear the Gospel and be saved and encouraged by the Word of God. Please don't take away from your family or church giving. I have placed a link below where you can give directly to the seminary into my account. I thank you now for your prayers and support.

On this episode I had a great conversation with Pastor Benjamin Glaser of Bethany ARP Church. We discuss church government and why it is biblical and important. There is a structure that our Lord Jesus has given us for governing His Church and we talk about that as well as how the Lord Jesus has blessed Pastor Glaser with salvation. I pray this episode will bless and educate you on this very important topic.

This is a very special episode. It is the 100th episode. For this special moment I wanted to have the original cast. So my wife and a few kids have joined to talk a little about the importance of the Word of God, homeschool, and hamsters. I hope you don't mind the bit of chaos that occurs. Some of you will think back to our old episodes and remember when our son would occasionally make a little baby noise. Now you will hear him shout random words like, "dinosaur!" I want to thank all you for listening and I pray this show is a blessing in some way. Looking forward to 100 more!

On this episode I talked with one of my favorite people, semi-retired Pastor Brad Evans. He and I met a few years ago at an open-air preaching training run by Sports Fan Outreach lead by Bill Adams. There Brad taught us in the morning about the preached word and did some open-air preaching with us at Union Square in NYC. On this episode we discuss why the preached word is very important during the Lord's Day service and also why many churches neglect this call. I enjoyed my time talking with Pastor Brad and look forward to speaking with him again soon. May our conversation bless and encourage you.

On this episode I talk to James Dorman IV about his coming to faith while incarcerated and his now love for evangelism. Sharing the Gospel is something all Christians are called to do. It doesn't have to be intimidating. Of course, the first place for sharing is at home.

On this episode I had the honor to speak with Pastor Mike Abendroth, Pastor of Bethlehem Bible Church in West Boylston, MA and host of No Compromise Radio. We talked about his show and ministry, as well as how the Lord Jesus drew Mike to Himself. Most importantly we discuss the sufficiency of Jesus Christ and what that means in preaching and the life of the believer. We also touch on a few other important things to remember for the Christian life. As always, we have a little fun at the end. I hope you are as blessed and encouraged listening as I was speaking with Pastor Mike. Please check out his show, and if you are in the West Boylston area, stop in and worship with his congregation.

I had the honor again to exhort the word of God for the saints at my church, Grace OPC. I have wanted to preach Romans 8:31-39 for a while. It is such an assuring text teaching the love God has for believers in Christ. Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

On this episode I have the pleasure of talking with my Twitter friend, and brother in Christ, Scott Dove. Scott shared a very powerful story of his young life and how God continues to do a work in and through him. From being bullied as a quiet kid, to now preaching the Word of God in a few different churches, I was very encouraged to hear what God has done and continues to do in Scott's life. We also discuss a recent Tweet from Andy Stanley about knowing Jesus apart from the Scriptures. May this episode bless you as much as the interview blessed me.

There recently was a post shared by Tim Keller of a late-night talk show host talking about spiritual things. The post was shared by him saying it is an example of how to share our faith in the context. On this episode I briefly share why I do not agree and why I don't think the Bible agrees, specifically in the example the Apostle Paul gives us in Acts 17 as he addresses the context of the people of Athens. If you haven't, please go back and listen to the episode I released earlier this week. It is a great interview with some thoughtful young Christian men.

I decided to release this interview episode with a couple of Theologically sound Teens `a few days early. I pray you will be as blessed listening to it as I was in interviewing these two young Christian men. As many young people are "deconstructing" I am very interested in talking to young people who have been brought up in Christianity. I have the honor of knowing these two teens, called by their nicknames on this recording, who are very mature beyond their years. Their answers to my questions are very thought out and genuine. While I give credit to their parents for bringing them up in the Lord, God is the one Who does the work in them. I pray they continue to grow in faith and that I am able to witness to their growth and life in Christ to come. We discuss deconstruction, growing up in a Christian household, youth group, homeschool, and something fun at the end. Please forgive a few mic pops that occur, and the poor edit back in of the fun question I almost forgot to ask. If you are a young person in Christ, I pray you are encouraged by these gentlemen who are standing firm in the truth of Christ. If you are a parent of young Christians, I pray this encourages you to keep discipling your children and answer their questions to the best of your ability or find the answers with them.

In this episode I speak with another great Twitter friend of mine. This is my first international interview since Michael Rutherford hails from Canada. It has been a huge encouragement following him on twitter as he tweets many great Bible passages as well as other great Christian content. Here we talk a little about the blessings in our lives as well as getting more into how Christians should behave on social media. We also have some fun and he answers a kind a silly question of mine at the end.

I recently was at the funeral for a Christian man. After 96 years on this earth, he was welcomed home to be with the Lord. At the service the message given spoke of his life well lived. I knew this man and can attest to his example, and well lived life, following Christ. He wasn't perfect, but he was forgiven. As he entered heaven, I am sure he heard, as I long to hear, "Well done good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your master."

Even as Christians we still sin. When we do, come to God with a broken and contrite heart as we see David cry out in Psalm 51. On this episode i read this Psalm and briefly discuss it and how we can come to God forgiven. We are forgiven and continue in grace in Christ. But when we sin, we still need to confess and come to God in Christ. Always remember Christian, you are forgiven. Does this mean sin more? May it never be. But when we do, we can come with a broken and contrite heart in Christ covered in His blood. He lived and died for you.

On this last Lord's Day, I had the honor of exhorting in the morning at Calvary OPC in Ringoes, NJ and in the evening at my church, Grace OPC in Hamilton, NJ. I was scheduled to be in the pulpit at my church already but was called in for a pulpit supply on shorter notice for Calvary. I was already working on 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 so I preached this text at both churches. Here is the recording from the evening service at Grace. May this encourage you and bless you. May God bless this message. If you are looking for a reformed church, I have linked to both churches below and an OPC church finder.

We decided that each month we will have an episode where we start to discuss a catechism. A catechism is a tool used to teach the what we believe as Christians. This is done in a question and answer form. There is a link below to the catechism we have decided to start with. You can find the history behind it as well as the biblical texts the questions and answers are drawn from. We hope to get through this entire catechism then move on to another one. It is important for Christians to know what we believe. It is also important to teach our children as well. We hope these episode benefit you in your walk with Christ. https://www.crcna.org/welcome/beliefs/confessions/heidelberg-catechism https://strivingforeternity.org/cpc/cpc-podcasts/ http://whatareweevendoinghere.com https://www.patreon.com/whatareweevendoinghere…
On this episode we hope to answer what we are even doing at the abortion mill. Thousands of unborn babies are murdered everyday. Should Christians be going to where this is happening and providing a solution? Should Christians be going to where this is happening and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

In this episode we look to the Bible to help us answer the question, “What happens to people who never hear the gospel?” We also try to tackle what happens to babies if they die before they can make a confession of saving faith. God has the answers and we can only tell you what we see in the Scriptures. If you have any insight on these issues please let us know.

On this episode I was honored to interview a cohost of one of my favorite podcasts Revived Thoughts. Troy is very encouraging in his passion for truth and to serve the Lord. He and his partner Joel take old sermons that have never been recorded and have them narrated. They also give a history of the pastor who preached them originally as well as a history of what was going on at that time. When you listen it is not just like someone is reading a stiff paper. The narrators read as if they are preaching. In fact many of them are preachers. The sermons themselves are still relevant today. If you didn't know they were from pastors as far back as hundreds of years ago you'd think they were preached last Lord's day. We hope this interview blesses and encourages you.

Please check out his podcast (link is below) as we have been edified and encouraged by him and all the hosts on the program. We hope this episode edifies and encourages you to think about how we worship God corporately on the Lord’s Day. https://whatareweevendoinghere.com Please partner with us in making this podcast https://www.patreon.com/whatareweevendoinghere https://www.everydayministrypodcast.com Christian Podcast Community https://strivingforeternity.org/cpc/cpc-podcasts/…

Some of his comments caused a stir on social media a bit ago and we wanted to see what he had to say. More importantly we wanted to see what the Word of God has to say. I know not all agree on this but as Christians we need to believe what God says. We also discuss some of what happens to some pastors when they achieve celebrity status. Enjoy and if you want to give feedback please do so in a Christian way.

On this episode I briefly talk about something that must happen in order for you to be saved. This is a must needed thing that a believer can't be without. And when it happens it will be the greatest thing that has ever happened to you. Christian Podcast Community https://podcasts.strivingforeternity.org/ Twitter @DarylUpdike Twitter @WhatAreWeEvenD1…
On this short episode I briefly talk about the Word become flesh. It is short but important. Give it a listen and share if you feel to do so. Have a joyous Christmas and be safe. Share The GOSPEL! Christian Podcast Community http://christianpodcastcommunity.org
I talk about a Tweet I post everyday and why it is important for Christians to share the message found in the Tweet. We need not be afraid to share the best news ever! Repent and believe the gospel. Christ died and rose from the dead for sinners, by name. He did all the work necessary to rescue you from hell and bring you to eternal life with Him. Believe it. Turn to Christ and live.

(Apologies: Audio sound quality changes during podcast. I did not realize my external mic turned off during recording and only the computer mic picked up the sound. Not that my productions have great sound anyway. We are a low budget production.) On this episode I discuss my thought on the second commandment and how it relates to images of Jesus. Is it ok for Christians to watch movies, tv shows, and productions with actors playing the role of Jesus? Are nativity scenes a good thing? I do my best to explain what the Bible teaches with some help from the Westminster Larger Catechism. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Exodus 20:4 Westminster Larger Catechism Q 109: What are the sins forbidden in the second commandment? Answer: The sins forbidden in the second commandment are, all devising,1 counseling,2 commanding,3 using,4 and anywise approving, any religious worship not instituted by God himself;5 tolerating a false religion;6 the making any representation of God, of all or of any of the three persons, either inwardly in our mind, or outwardly in any kind of image or likeness of any creature whatsoever;7 all worshiping of it,8 or God in it or by it;9 the making of any representation of feigned deities,10 and all worship of them, or service belonging to them;11 all superstitious devices,12 corrupting the worship of God,13 adding to it, or taking from it,14 whether invented and taken up of ourselves,15 or received by tradition from others,16 though under the title of antiquity,17 custom,18 devotion,19 good intent, or any other pretense whatsoever;20 simony;21 sacrilege;22 all neglect,23 contempt,24 hindering,25 and opposing the worship and ordinances which God hath appointed.26 Christian Podcast Community https://podcasts.strivingforeternity.org/ Twitter @DarylUpdike Twitter @WhatAreWeEvenD1 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/daryl.j.updike Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WhatAreWeEvenDoingHere…
On this episode I briefly go over the Apostles' Creed. I talk about why it is important to believe what the historic creeds teach. These creeds are not authoritative but are tools that can help us to know what the Bible teaches. (Editors note about the episode: I say Heidelberg Confession and what I mean is Heidelberg Catechism. Sorry for the mistake. Please don't take my Reformed card away.) Heidelcast with Dr R Scott Clark teaching in detail the Apostles' Creed. https://heidelblog.net/2021/06/heidelcast-183-what-must-a-christian-believe-1-our-ancient-universal-christian-faith/ Christian Podcast Community https://podcasts.strivingforeternity.org/ Twitter @DarylUpdike Twitter @WhatAreWeEvenD1 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WhatAreWeEvenDoingHere My Facebook https://www.facebook.com/daryl.j.updike Resource for Historic Creeds and Confessions https://reformedstandards.com/…
On this episode I list a few things to be thankful for. As Christians, the list never ends. The LORD's steadfast love endures forever! Also, I talk a little about how I often wondered to whom atheists are thankful. Seems like they know there is Someone beyond us to show gratitude toward. Yet, they still reject God. Their feet are planted firmly in midair. Christian Podcast Community http://christianpodcastcommunity.org MyTwitter @DarylUpdike Show Twitter @WhatAreWeEvenD1…
On this episode I make a confession. Needed to let everyone know this, if they didn't already. Then I talk about a facebook discussion that happened when I posted Exodus 20:8. What is the Christian Sabbath? What day are Christians to meet and worship? Does it matter? Is the day we meet the Sabbath? What does the Bible say? Do we see New Testament Christians meeting on the first day of the week? What is most important: GO TO CHURCH! I don't fully answer any of these. I just give you my thought that are influenced by the Word of God.

On this episode I talk about the evening tweet/post I have been doing daily for about a year. It is an encouragements to Christians to sleep well. Each night I share a Scripture, or words of encouragement from the Scriptures, to remind us we can rest knowing the Lord and His love. I recently started adding a video some nights.

Thank you all for continuing to listen. On this episode I discuss how the through the reformation, and through the 5 Solas that came about, we can have assurance of our salvation now according to the Scripture. I briefly unpack Ephesians 2 and some other texts. May this episode bless you so that you may rest and sleep well knowing you are save by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone, according to the Scriptures alone.

It has been a while since we posted a show. Well, i posted a few sermons but haven't had an actual show. We have been really busy with life. On this episode I am going solo and this may be the format for a while. We will see what God has for the future. For now please enjoy and be blessed by this short episode. I know many people who claim to be Christians yet they do not gather on the Lord's day. On this episode I give a few reasons why this is not good.

On October 24, 2021 I had the honor and privilege to preach at Faith Bible OPC in Brick, NJ. The text I preached from was Luke 15. This is the parable of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost prodigal son. I wanted to focus on the relentless pursuit of God in Christ for His lost children. Christ came to seek and save those who are lost. He seeks and saves those who are His. He find them and never will let them go. Note, when I recorded this I forgot to record the reading of the Scripture. I recorded that again at home because you should hear the entire passage in context. May this sermon bless you and leave you assured of salvation in Christ. If you are not a believer, may this sermon bring you to repentance and faith by the power of the Holy Spirit.

It has been a while since we posted an episode. We hope to get back to regular shows soon. In the meantime, here is a sermon I preached July 4, 2021 at Faith Bible OPC in Brick, NJ. I had the opportunity to do pulpit supply and I preached a sermon on Ezekiel 37:1-14. I hope you are encouraged and edified. God brings the dead to life by the Holy Spirit, and the Word of His power. https://www.faithbibleopc.org Faith Bible OPC https://podcasts.strivingforeternity.org Christian Podcast Community…
On this episode Daryl, Karen, and Roo talk about a very popular lawn sign. It has been seen at many houses and we talk about the world view it comes from and what the Bible has to say.
On this episode our daughter Eleanor (aka Roo) puts Karen and I on the hot seat asking us about our walk with Jesus and how we even got there. We also talk about Karen making a Twitter account. PS Points for whoever knows what movie Karen quotes when answering the last question from Roo.
We thought of things we forgot to talk about on the last two episodes. Hopefully we cover as much as we can. We are always ready to take any questions you have.
