Recently, Brad Lea faced a harrowing incident when his two-year-old daughter nearly drowned in their family pool. Following this ordeal, the little girl started chanting the name "Yashua," which Brad firmly asserts as being Jesus Christ’s real name. Brad, who has always maintained faith though not overtly vocal about it, expresses his passion for the name "Yashua" and believes it represents the ultimate truth.
While Brad is deeply committed to his faith, he refrains from openly discussing it to avoid spreading misinformation. He shares his hesitations about certain pastors and Christians due to negative past experiences, questioning their depth of knowledge. The conversation delves into various theories about the nature of God, Yashua, and the Holy Spirit.
The discussion extends to beliefs held by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and Islam. Ryan asserts his belief in the Bible's absolute truth. Witchcraft, sorcery, demons, and disobedience are explored.
Ryan draws parallels between biblical stories, like Adam and the snake, and modern issues, such as infidelity, emphasizing the impact of small choices on larger decisions. Brad challenges conventional celebrations like Christmas and Easter, deeming them deceptive.
Expressing dissatisfaction with lukewarm Christian practices, Brad affirms his conversion to being truly devout if he were to receive a sign from God. Ryan advocates focusing on fundamental aspects of faith rather than getting bogged down by debatable details.
Brad distinguishes between faith and belief, emphasizing that change is possible. In terms of podcasting, Brad aims to elevate the content and intelligence on his shows and reduce explicit language. Ryan encourages influencers to share their imperfect faith journeys, drawing parallels to the story of Paul.
Shifting to business, Brad invites those earning less than three to five hundred thousand dollars annually to reach out for sales advice and potential job opportunities. The conversation touches on topics like cold plunges, discipline, and sustainable habits, with both Ryan and Brad sharing different perspectives on what discipline entails and the importance of sustainability in maintaining habits. They also discuss health practices such as intermittent fasting and Ryan's experiences with testosterone and peptides.

Brad is a seeker. He will soon find the pearl in the field. He would be a great messenger. People would relate to his journey. Love how Ryan gave his answers. ❤️‍🔥

[@iamjamesxo]

Love this conversation and the fact they're both willing to say "i don't know". Because no one does, and thats why its called faith.

They both have great answers.

[@Trulyblessed521]

Major props to Ryan’s patience in this entire conversation. We’d all love to witness the miracles Jesus performed after he got baptized, but we aren’t condescending toward someone who just chooses to believe without witnessing these miracles. That’s part of what faith is.

[@leerichmond1459]

There's many factors. There's no doubt about God existing, but to claim we have to go through "Jesus" to speak to God is toxic. The Bible is actually a banking manual

[@VamosBrandon]

For real. That was tough to listen to. I lost a lot of respect for Brad.

[@leerichmond1459]

@VamosBrandon for any intelligent person, yes. Ryan thinks Jesus is God, THE GOD. Totally lunacy. God is perfect and cannot be seen in this realm. We are here on behalf of God. We are God

Love the fact that you guys remained so level headed, even in disagreement. At 1hr in, you guys spoke about pagan holidays... We stopped celebrating them a few years back and never looked back. It's easy because now we don't have to deal with the family disagreements during the "holidays". If you truly want to stop just make that decision.

@bradlea 👏🏻 Well done, you helped answer some questions I’ve had too. I see it the same way!

[@jmow_n_go7517]

Good discussion between 2 Christians. Couple questions/statements it brought to mind was 1. Ryan, if there is 1 truth, wouldn't Catholicism be the 1 truth? It is the OG of Christianity. 2. Brad saying he has to physically see a miracle, sounds very similar to the Apostle Thomas aka Didymus in which Jesus told him "Blessed are they who have not seen but still believe." Enjoyed the video Ryan!

Hey from Miami awsome coversation God bless us all we need it hey boss I need to talk with you how do I do this

[@welcomeback777]

Brad's issue is multifaceted, but the primary concern is that he needs to re- hear and "obey" the gospel by faith, which calls him to repent of his sins and turn to Jesus for the remission of those sins, so that he may receive the Holy Spirit. Another issue is the name of the Messiah. Jesus spoke two languages: Hebrew and Aramaic. When Jesus was preaching and spending time with the disciples, he used Aramaic as the informal language. However, when he went to the Temple, he spoke in Hebrew proper. Regarding the name of Jesus ill address it here. I go to Mexico and tell them my name is Erick, there is no direct translation in Spanish; the closest is Enrique. Similarly, if I go to China, there is no equivalent in the Mandarin alphabet or other dialects to pronounce my name so this name Erick in Chinese as "埃里克" (pinyin: Āi lǐ kè) sounds and spells nothing like the name Erick. So If Brad wants to use the name Yeshua, sure go for it, if he makes a deeper connection, but to suggest, that the Lord has not responded to people for thousands of years calling on the name of Jesus, Yeshua, or transliterated as "เยซู" (pronounced "Yesu" or "Yasu") in the Thai language is ubsurd. However, the fundamental need for Brad is to be born again, and addressing these other issues of concern will be solved. Jesus was not a ventriloquist on the cross when he cried elohim elohim why has thou forsaken me. The second person of the Godhead, a mystery indeed, came and was born of a virgin (the incarnation), fully God and fully man, to reconcile both God and His born-again sons and daughters into Himself (by the born again experience). While God is a title, the head of the Godhead is the Father, who willed creation into being. Yeshua -Jesus spoke the words, and the Holy Spirit performed the power of creation. Although they have their own separate forms, separate and distinct personalities they are one, and not 3 Gods. There is nothing in creation or in heaven to explain the Trinity other than God Himself. 1x1x1 equals 3. We know from the book of Daniel God the Holy Father had not only a body sitting on HIS throne, we see "Jesus the Son of Man approaching the Father in the same passage. Daniel 7:8-15 . I watched till thrones were [b]put in place, And the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, And the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, Its wheels a burning fire; 10 A fiery stream issued And came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The [c]court was seated, And the books were opened. “I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man (Jesus) Coming with the clouds of heaven! He (JESUS) came to the Ancient of Days (Father God) And they brought Him near before HIM (Father God)

No matter what religion you believe in Jesus is the Christ and Savior of the world. Saying one church is worshiping a different Jesus is just wrong and not christlike. If you say Jesus is your savior even if you have a slightly different belief than a different person does not make your version a totally different Christ. Christ is my redeemer and savior and I know his is my brother and the Son of God and I will live with both of them again.

Brad did his research

[@ErinaDeckard]

2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. Ryan was not very knowledgeable about basic scripture that is a bad look for people seeking answers. No one knows everything but that is where the holy spirit steps in. Brad is correct about pagan holidays. Come with scripture to back what your preaching and the holy spirit will be with in times you forget , he is our helper.Deliverance is needed and time in the secret place is needed which is fasting, prayer, worship and study of the word.The holy spirit would have been there to help him recall scripture. Great interview.

[@jpeeda1791]

Correct

[@ashisforreal]

Where does it say Jesus won't come back until everyone hears the gospel? Please give me the verse.

[@CPpdx20]

Thank you! Someone who knows it's ok to believe but still use your brain to use logic when hearing things that people tell you to believe. I have made pretty much all the same talking points to people. And whenever people question the truth of the bible and a Christian will say it's all true and the word of God but when you bring up a scripture that contradicts another one it's like "well we don't like to use those verses." Ok but you just said it was all God's word. Point is like this guy said people wrote the bible. It might be inspired by God but it was written by the hands of imperfect people. There can be something off about parts of the bible but still have actual messages from God.

[@_jhw_]

The phrase I am who I am in the Hebrew is YHWH, often translated as “LORD,” “Yahweh,” or “Jehovah,” and is referred to in theology as the tetragrammaton (“a word having four letters”). The literal translation of the term is “I be that I be,” a statement that makes reference to God’s self-existence-He is not dependent upon anything else for His existence.

[@philswanson]

Love both you guys. Interesting convo. Regarding Genesis 6. Read Michael Heiser the Unseen Realm. Regarding the name “Christian”: “and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch.

Loved this show wanted to share this bible verse John 14:8-9, 8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father and then we will be satisfied.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time, and you do not know Me yet, Philip, nor recognize clearly who I am? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’
