We do not know the power of prayer. We think of prayer as something we do when we've tried everything else. It should be our first choice! It was the power of God through the prayers of righteous Elijah that stopped the rain in Israel for three years. It was to his Father in prayer that Jesus turned in his most difficult moments, especially in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Trials are hard to endure, and no one enjoys suffering. But the Grace of God in the midst of that suffering brings us through, and when we express gratefulness for that Grace, then God get's great glory.

Oliver Anthony is taking the music world, and the entire news cycle, by storm! He has soared to the top of the iTunes and Billboard charts after being virtually unknown 1 month ago. Why is this? Because he has written from his heart a song that resonates with the anger and sadness so many patriotic […] The post 063 – Oliver Anthony and Grandpa Hoerner appeared first on Preacher Dad.

There is a documentary getting a lot of traction out there concerning the Duggar family, IBLP, and Bill Gothard.

In this special episode of the Preacher Dad Podcast you can enjoy improv at its worst! We let three monkeys into the studio to see what happens. Actually it's just the Preacher Dad laughing with two special guests, Jared Yates and Matt Hinton, and trying to make the audience smile.

From Genesis 3:1-5 – If temptation were like playing “Stratego” or “Risk” against Satan, that Subtle Serpent, what do you think the Devil's strategy would be? He actually gives it away in the Garden of Eden, and we can learn some powerful lessons by studying the first temptation. The Subtle Serpent is still around today, […] The post 060 – The Subtle Serpent – Foundations 015 appeared first on Preacher Dad.

Ever wonder what Independence day costs? No, I'm not talking about market research surveys telling you how many billions of dollars Americans spent on fireworks. $$$ I'm not talking about how Uncle Greg's famous chili dog causes “serious repercussions” until probably July 9th!

The first marriage was instituted by God. It was founded upon his principles, under his rules. And it was designed for one man and one woman, to be united in partnership for life. We learn a lot about what marriage is supposed to be like from the first account of God's creation of woman and […] The post 057 – The First Marriage – Foundations 014 appeared first on Preacher Dad.

When I say that marriage is not black and white, I'm not speaking about gray areas within marriage, or the need to compromise, etc. No, I'm talking about the fact that some well meaning and otherwise reasonable and Biblically founded people teach that marriage between “races” is forbidden in Scripture. This teaching is not founded […] The post 056 – Marriage is Not Black and White appeared first on Preacher Dad.

I wrote a letter to a friend a few years ago trying to answer the question “Why do bad things happen?” This is one of the most important questions any Christian will face in our modern world. We must have a Biblical answer which addresses the reasons this world is evil. Many others have done […] The post 055 – Why Do Bad Things Happen appeared first on Preacher Dad.

One of the most difficult and prevalent challenges facing the 21st century Christian is fighting condemnation.

Let me share some Scriptural truth with you on the matter. Check out […] The post 054 – Fighting Condemnation in Ourselves appeared first on Preacher Dad.

Foundation Series #13 – This episode we go back again to Genesis and look at chapter 2:8-17.

We learn that God intended work to be delightful. (Imagine […] The post 053 – A Commandment Observed – Foundations 013 appeared first on Preacher Dad.

What is the most important foundation? What is the thing that everything else is based upon? What is the bedrock that is necessary for everything we believe to be real?

It […] The post 052 – The Most Important Foundation appeared first on Preacher Dad.

Well, what do you think? Would Jesus have forgiven Judas? If Judas had avoided suicide and come in repentance to the risen Christ, what do you think would have been the result? What happened to Peter? What about the other disciples that abandoned Jesus when he needed them most? Forgiven, each one.

Here we are on Palm Sunday…or at least it happened on Sunday, and the Preacher Dad helps us to get into the shoes of the multitude.

Is the clear governmental oppression happening to our northern neighbor coming to the United States? If we do not voice opposition to freedom in neighboring countries, we deserve what we get.

They become “all […] The post 048 – The Breath of Life – Foundations 012 appeared first on Preacher Dad.

How can we survive dangerous days? I'm not speaking of stockpiles of canned food and plenty of candles, I'm speaking of holding on to our faith during an age of insanity.

What if soldiers sat on the sidelines during a battle? What if they said “There are so many people fighting out there, my few little bullets won't make a difference.”?

“Best way to increase listeners is to have a controversial podcast.” So says the modern wisdom of the Internet. (Which I of course follow without question.) So here you go, I've jumped on and made a few statements that are sure to ruffle some feathers. (Are we allowed to talk about feathers?

A natural part of the world, reflected even in the Animal Kingdom, is the parental responsibility to provide, protect, train and encourage. Not all parents accept this responsibility. Some abandon it completely. But it still exists, the same way the wind exists but some people fight against it.

June 24th, 2022 – A day I will try to remember the rest of my life. The day life wins. A day when my faith was strengthened, my heart was encouraged, and hope was restored.

The deceitfulness of riches is subtle and powerful. And finding contentment in the pursuit of godliness can be especially challenging in our western culture.

It's a tried and true Biblical principle: If you don't work, you don't eat. Yet many people in our society seem to think they are entitled to food and shelter whether they work or not. Survival is not guaranteed. It is by the sweat of our brow that we bring forth food from the earth. […] The post 035 – You Don't Work, You Don't Eat appeared first on Preacher Dad.

Does an action have to be monumental to be heroic? I would say heroism can be found even in the small things. Though often the word “hero” is overused, it is the little every day sacrifices we make which truly stem the tide of evil in our time. Self-sacrifice is the hero's motto, and that […] The post 034 – What is Heroic? appeared first on Preacher Dad.

How can a family stop tyranny?

Things that regular folks can do to make a difference. You're not an expert, or “well-read”, or “influential”, or charismatic, blah, blah, blah-blah blah blah-blah.

Sometimes it's very hard to stay “up”. The pressures of life get oppressive. But we are told in Scripture that these “various trials” are meant for our growth and maturity. Here are some thoughts that might encourage you (or help you stay encouraged) and some sources that help me when I feel down. The post 030 – Stay Encouraged! appeared first on Preacher Dad.

When Russia invades Ukraine, or inflation drives the price of everything up, or any number of other things in our lives that threaten us or our children, we must remember the Truth which teaches us that “we have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and a sound mind.” (2 […] The post 029 – No Fear! appeared first on Preacher Dad.

Why are we surprised when life is stressful or challenging? Why does suffering throw us for a loop and cause us to doubt God?

In today's episode we discuss being a student of life, local involvement in the culture war, and the need for reformation.
