Three random fictitious conversations between Titus and Jacob about Funk Pop. That might have taken place at various times in history… But did not!
Titus: Greetings, Jacob! What brings you to our town today?
Jacob: Hey, Titus! I heard about these weird little toys called Funk Pop and had to check them out.
Titus: Funk what?
Jacob: Funk Pop! They’re these tiny little figures of characters from movies, TV shows, and even video games. They’re super popular among my people.
Titus: Hmm, I’ve never heard of such a thing. Are they idols or something?
Jacob: No way, man! They’re just cool little collectibles. Plus, they don’t have any power over me like idols do.
Titus: I see. Well, as long as they’re not leading you away from God, I suppose they can’t be too bad.
Jacob: Exactly! Besides, they’re just harmless fun. You should try them out sometime, Titus.
Titus: (chuckles) I think I’ll stick to my scriptures and prayers, Jacob. But I’m glad you’re enjoying your Funk Pops without letting them become a distraction from what’s truly important in life.
Jacob: (grinning) Hey, you know me, Titus. I’m always up for some mischief, but I’ve learned my lesson about letting things consume me. It’s always good to keep God as our top priority and not let anything else get in the way.
Titus: Amen to that, Jacob! May we continue to learn and grow in our faith, while still enjoying the blessings of this world in moderation.
Jacob: (nodding) You got it, Titus. Now, enough talk about Funk Pops. Let’s go grab a bite to eat and catch up on everything else that’s been going on.
Titus: Greetings, Jacob! It’s good to see you again. What’s new in the land of the nomads?
Jacob: Ah, Titus, my old friend! I’ve been on quite the journey, but I’ve finally made it back to civilization. And let me tell you, I’ve seen some amazing things. Have you ever heard of Funk Pop?
Titus: Funk Pop? No, I can’t say that I have. What is it?
Jacob: Oh, Titus, you’re missing out! Funk Pop is these small vinyl figures that are all the rage right now. They’re based on popular TV shows, movies, and even celebrities. Everyone is collecting them.
Titus: Collecting them? Why would anyone waste their time on such trivial things?
Jacob: Trivial?! Titus, I think you’re underestimating the power of Funk Pop. They bring people joy and happiness, and isn’t that what we strive for in life?
Titus: But shouldn’t our focus be on more important matters, like our relationship with God and serving our community?
Jacob: Of course, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun along the way. Funk Pop is a great way to de-stress and relax in our free time.
Titus: I see your point, but as a church leader, I think it’s important to set an example for others. We should be encouraging charity and selflessness, not materialism.
Jacob: Materialism? Titus, these Funk Pop figures are hardly a luxury item. They’re affordable for everyone and bring so much happiness. Plus, they make great gifts too!
Titus: I suppose you have a point. Maybe I need to open my mind to new things. Who knows, maybe I’ll start my own Funk Pop collection.
Jacob: Now you’re talking, Titus! I’ve got an extra Captain America figure I can give you to start your collection. We can be Funk Pop buddies.
Titus: (laughs) That sounds like a plan, Jacob. Who knew a conversation about Funk Pop could be so enlightening?
Jacob: Only the power of Funk Pop could do that, my friend. (both laugh)

Titus was a Greek convert to Christianity and one of Paul’s most trusted companions during his missionary journeys. He is mentioned several times in the New Testament as a fellow worker, co-laborer, and partner in the Gospel.
Paul appointed Titus as a leader in the church in Crete, where he was responsible for appointing elders and maintaining order in the church. Paul also wrote a letter to Titus with instructions on how to lead and teach the church, emphasizing the importance of sound doctrine, good works, and godly behavior.
In his letter to Titus, Paul wrote, “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age” (Titus 2:11-12).
Titus was known for his faithfulness, integrity, and devotion to God. He was a true servant of Christ, always putting the needs of others before his own. In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul wrote, “With Titus we are sending the brother who is praised by all the churches for his service to the gospel” (2 Corinthians 8:18).
Today, Titus is remembered as a model of faith and leadership in the early church, and his example continues to inspire Christians to this day.
Jacob was the son of Isaac and the grandson of Abraham, and one of the key figures in the Old Testament. He was a complex character who struggled with his faith and his relationships, yet he also played an important role in God’s plan.
One of the most famous stories about Jacob is his wrestling match with God, in which he refused to let go until he received God’s blessing (Genesis 32:24-30). This story speaks to Jacob’s persistence and determination, as well as his willingness to seek God’s favor even when it meant struggling with him.
Jacob’s life was also marked by conflict with his family members, including his twin brother Esau and his father-in-law Laban. These conflicts tested his faith and ultimately led him to trust in God more deeply. In fact, when he was on the run from Esau, God spoke to him in a dream and promised to bless him and his descendants (Genesis 28:10-22).
Despite his flaws, Jacob was chosen by God to be the father of the twelve tribes of Israel, through whom God would accomplish his purposes in the world. He was a flawed yet faithful servant who learned to trust in God’s sovereignty and to cling to his promises.
In Christian theology, Jacob is seen as a foreshadowing of Christ, who would also wrestle with God in the Garden of Gethsemane and ultimately be blessed by God through his resurrection. Like Jacob, Christ embodies both human weakness and divine strength, and offers redemption and hope to all who put their trust in him (Hebrews 12:1-3).
Funk Pop, also known as Funko Pop, is a popular brand of vinyl figurines that has taken the world by storm. While these collectibles may seem innocent, Christians must always be mindful of the media and merchandise that we consume. It is important to remember that our choices reflect our values, and we should strive to honor God in everything we do. If we choose to collect Funk Pop figurines, let us remember to use them as a means of expressing our creativity and love for our favorite characters, rather than allowing them to become idols in our lives. May we always prioritize our relationship with God over any material possessions.
