The Kingdom Is For Everyone

Sir Isaac Newton once said, "In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence.” And Newton's point is this: you don't need a telescope to see God. Sometimes all it takes is the willingness to pay attention. God has stitched His creativity not just into galaxies—but into us. Into your thumb. Into your nervous system. Into your breath.That means Holy Ground isn't just “out there”—it's right here. On your own hands.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth AcademyThe Rorschach God

In this episode of The Kingdom Is For Everyone, Matthew Hester reflects on a surprising quote from physicist Stephen Hawking and explores the harmony between faith and science. What if the mysteries of the universe are not contradictions to our faith but invitations into deeper wonder? Discover how the cosmos can be a cathedral and why Holy Ground truly is everywhere—even in the language of science.www.HesterMinistries.orgwww.PresentTruthAcademy.orgThe Rorschach God

“I don't make songs for free, I make 'em for freedom. Don't believe in kings, believe in the Kingdom.”— Chance the RapperChance isn't talking about monetary cost — he's talking about purpose. His art isn't for applause, or even payment, but for something deeper: liberation. This is the sound of someone who recognizes that the gifts we've been given — whether it's music, writing, or leadership — aren't just meant to entertain; they're meant to liberate.www.HesterMinistries.orgwww.PresentTruthAcademy.orgwww.HesterBook.com

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)

If Jesus showed up today in your church, your city, your feed… would we recognize Him? Or would we be too busy trying to judge what He's doing and who He's doing it with?Let's talk about it.Hester MinistriesThe Rorschach GodPresent Truth Academy

In today's episode we celebrate the event that quite literally changed everything. It was on this day about 2,000 years ago that Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of God, the son of David was spewed out of the belly of the tomb as a sign after the pattern of Jonah.www.hesterministries.orgwww.hesterbook.comwww.presenttruthacademy.org

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

This is part on of our Holy Week focus for 2025!Jesus wasn't defending us from His violent Dad! Through the self-sacrificial image of Christ, we see God purely for Who He has always been...totally free of all the misconceptions that fallen humanity had assigned to His nature and attributed to His character. 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

Truth is a Person and His name is Jesus (John 14:6); Father God is Truth (Numbers 23:19); the Holy Spirit is Truth (John 16:12-14); and as believers, we are people of the Truth (John 18:37; 1 John 5:20). Notice the progression? God is triune and we bare the image of Trinity. It's a pattern worth looking into!www.hesterministries.org www.hesterbook.comwww.PresentTruthAcademy.org

In this episode we take a look at what it looks like to explore the love of God as an individual as well as knowing the unknowable together. We need each other to truly comprehend the love of God!Hester MinistriesThe Rorschach GodPresent Truth Academy

Adam was merely a shadow of what was to come, but Christ is the true image of God and the blueprint for our lives. To live in Christ is to live as a new creation, no longer bound by the limitations of Adam but free in the fullness of divine sonship.www.hesterministries.orgwww.hesterbook.comwww.presenttruthacademy.org

The Kingdom is in the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Ghost is in you (Lk. 17:21). By the indwelling Spirit—”Christ in you”—the prophetic anointing produces righteousness, the priestly anointing affects peace, and the kingly anointing brings forth joy. hesterbook.com HesterMinistries.org Present Truth Academy

John 4:34- “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.The food, the sustenance of Jesus, was to do the “will” of the Father. 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

The cross wasn't an event that in any way changed God's mind about us, but rather it ultimately changed our minds about Him. The cross doesn't change God's character; it reveals it. 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. The God shown on the cross is the same God who inspired Scripture to ultimately reveal Himself through the cross.  www.hesterbook.com www.hesterministries.org/tv --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thekingdom4everyone/support
