Baptized & Clueless

Bare Fruit While You Wait

How do you navigate the world around you when you're stuck in a mental or spiritual funk? Do you retreat inward, focusing solely on yourself after you've "given it to God" in prayer?

AI...AI...Whoa!

Is there a place for AI in Christianity?
As artificial intelligence becomes a constant companion in our daily lives — from answering simple questions to solving complex problems — many Christians are left wondering: Where do we draw the line?
In this episode, we explore the intersection of faith and technology. Is AI just another tool, like the internet once was? Or could it challenge the way we think about truth, morality, and even the nature of God?
Whether you’re just curious or feeling cautious, this conversation invites you to think deeply, biblically, and critically about the role AI should (or shouldn’t) play in a Christian life.

Lift With Your Faith

Welcome to Baptized and Clueless — today we tackle life’s heaviest questions, one rep at a time as we Lift With Faith.
What’s your answer to bench pressing life’s weights?
Maybe it’s pressure at work, your family’s growing needs, financial stress, your health, or just the crushing weight of your own expectations. Lately, it feels like we’re lifting burdens that were never placed on us to carry alone.
So, here’s the real question: do you keep stacking more weight on the bar and struggle through it — or is it time to let God spot you before your arms give out?
Because sometimes, self-belief isn’t enough. New challenges, new responsibilities, new territory — they require more than just strength. They require faith.
In this episode, we’ll explore what it means to lift with faith, not just muscle through life. Because maybe, just maybe, the breakthrough doesn’t come from pushing harder… but from trusting deeper.
Let’s get into it.

Who Do You Sing For...God or the World

“Gospel” — by definition, according to the Bible, is the “good news” of Jesus Christ: His life, death, and resurrection, and the promise of salvation to all who believe.
We may have to update the term "The Gram" to a more fitting reference... The Grammy! It seems more and more Gospel artists are being recognized by the secular industry — or is it that Gospel artists are now seeking recognition from it?
That begs the question: Is the music truly reaching the masses... or is it merely spreading a sound, not the Gospel?
Are more artists starting to separate their music from Christianity altogether? Is the label “Christian artist” too constricting for the creative freedom they desire — or is it just too inconvenient for mainstream appeal?
Makes you wonder... is Hip Hop becoming the new Gospel?
Let’s get into it.
 

Baptized and Running - Yusuf's Interview

"What do you call someone who’s just been baptized... only to find themselves slipping back into their old life just weeks later? Around here—we call that Baptized & Clueless."
Join us in this honest and raw episode as our host shares his powerful testimony: a journey of coming to God willingly, openly… only to fall back into spiritual struggle and a life that left him empty.
In his words, it was like reenacting the story of the Israelites—freed from bondage, yet wandering the desert, lost and longing.
But there’s beauty in the wandering. There’s purpose in the process.
This is Baptized & Clueless —where faith meets real life, and grace is always part of the story.
