    God is mystery. Holy, other, ungraspable. And as Barry Taylor suggests, we often try to give shape to that mystery. We wrap it in theology. In doctrines. In denominations. In our best guesses and worst fears.And to be fair—sometimes that's necessary. We're wired for meaning. We're storytellers. But the problem isn't that we shape our understanding of God—it's how and why we do it.Do we shape God to reveal Him?Or do we shape Him to control Him?www.HesterMinistries.orgwww.PresentTruthAcademy.orgThe Rorschach God

    Boundaries aren't about control — they're about protection.Like guardrails on a mountain road. They don't rob your freedom; they keep you alive to actually reach your destination.If we don't have any theological guardrails, then "truth" becomes whatever I feel at the moment — and that's not a road to God. That's a road to confusion.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth AcademyThe Rorschach God (Book)

    Silent Saturday is the day between the crucifixion and the resurrection, but it was anything but silent! At surface level the wind had been knocked out of the disciples and their fear drove them into hiding. Everything appeared to be at a stand still...the man who healed the sick, loved the sinner, and challenged the established religious norm was gone. Even though the world was paralyzed above ground, revival was happening under the surface!Hester MinistriesThe Rorschach GodPresent Truth Academy

Good Friday is good for many reasons, but getting to finally behold God clearly has to be one of the best "good" things that happened.www.hesterbook.comwww.HesterMinistries.orgThe Patristics Study

    The Patristics, also known as the Church Fathers, occupy a pivotal place in the history of Christianity. These early theologians, pastors, and defenders of the faith laid the theological and ecclesiastical foundations that continue to shape Christian doctrine and practice today. Spanning roughly the first eight centuries of the church, their contributions offer a bridge between the apostolic era of the New Testament and the later structures of organized Christianity. Understanding their lives, works, and historical context is essential to appreciating the development of Christian thought and the enduring legacy of the early church.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth AcademyThe Rorschach God

Jesus' ministerial goal was to “finish”, to “complete, accomplish, consummate” His Father's “work”. The Father's work was summed up by the apostle Paul:2 Corinthians 5:18-20-All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.Ephesians 1:9-10-He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thekingdom4everyone/support

This means that God has always been as the cross shows Him to be. Hebrews 13:8 emphasizes this, stating that Jesus Christ remains the same yesterday, today and forever.
