Altar Boys — When You’re A Rebel
Cool, I guess that I did learn from Ken how to embed video. Altar Boys is one of my favorites. I bought this album when I was a senior in High School and was visiting Multnomah Bible College for preview weekend.
The ministry of Altar Boys helped me in my faith. I go back and listen to them again and again, when I feel like I am losing some of my passion.
A friend of mine from Multnomah named Brian, is the skater with the white shirt in the video.
I was also involved with ministry to skateboarders when I was there. Altar Boys came and played at Skatecamp that summer.
Earlier I posted some Altar Boys lyrics and Stephen was saying that it was cool, but not as cool as “When You’re A Rebel”. So this is for you buddy! Hope you all enjoy!
Podcast 24 – The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail
Today Rich starts reading in 1 Chronicles 11:45 where we talk about ancient walled cities and the highly fortified gates that were an important strategic defense. Then we go to Matthew 16:13-17 where Jesus tells us that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against the church. This is a passionate and exciting study of our role as conquerors against the kingdom of darkness.

Being cutting edge as we are, Rich has created a Facebook Group called Friends of www.dontblamejesus.com. Cool, thanks Rich. Now you can easily share DBJ with your friends on Facebook and invite them to join the group. Join the conversation on Facebook. See you there.
Hey, first of all, I want to thank you guys being part of this. I know that what we are doing with the podcasts has been life changing, and that is EXCITING. Sometimes it helps to hear God’s Word from a friendly voice who seems to understand what we are going through.
There will be a lot more podcasts to come.
With that said, only Stephen Hawker has taken advantage so far of our free CD offer. If you want to get a free CD of Darren Hildebrand’s “Brand New Day” CD, that was featured behind us talking about it, on Episode 23, you can get it, by emailing Ken at show(at)dontblamejesus(dot)com. Obviously you know what to do with at and dot.
One story that I wanted to share. One of our friend called me and went to tell me that he about fell off his yard tractor while listening to the episode 14 podcast. The message had to do with mix and match faith not working, and gave some examples of mix and matching of lifestyles and points of view that didn’t work as well.
Hey, if you have a favorite podcast, or a certain part of one, please let us know. Maybe we could have some discussion, or you might find that others are reacting to it the same way that you are.
