I learn something new each year as the abortion advocates are changing their strategies all the time. This convo is always a timely reminder of the sanctity of human life.

This podcast I am speaking with Pastor Paul Shirley from Grace Community Church Delaware (find them here). We are discussing his book Expository Sanctification. I did not know that Pastor Matt was going to be going over Expository Listening on Wednesday a few weeks ago, but they all line up nicely. The entire idea of "expository" has been a very helpful in diving deep into the truth of the Word of God.

OK, so Ekkie Tepsupornchia is not angry, nor am I angry with him. This is the podcast were we flesh out a few truths about anger. Why? because there are so many things happening in this world that are not right: abortion, sending billions to other countries instead of taking care of our own country... see? that's how quick we can get angry. I thought it would be a good idea to have a pastor talk through what righteous anger looks like so that we are living our lives according to scriptures and not our feelings.There will also be a new Tee dropping this season.

This is a tough one to post. I realize how much I am not doing for my wife while talking to Matt. Tough convo to have, but one I needed to have with my pastor. I've said this many times: These are my counseling sessions that I get to record for my listening edification, but I am happy to share with you all because I am probably not the only one who knows what to do but fail on the execution of them. Each day I wake up I realize I have another day to execute and if I don't I'm just wasting time. If you see or talk to me please challenge and encourage me and please don't condemn me.

So, this was an interesting sermon about the Widow's Mite in Mark 12:41-44. All my life I've heard it be about sacrificial giving and lo and behold it's not about that.. it's about false teachers in the church. WOW. We unpack a few things in this episode, but that's not why you are here in the show notes, right? You're here for the surprise. Well, here it is... The Truth Talks Podcast now has MERCH!

Today we speak with Ryan Itzel. He is one of our missionaries we support doing ministry with Open Air Campaigners as a church body, and one of the students of our Shepherds Institute. We discuss his ministry and his sermon from a couple of weeks ago about the Gospel of Jesus Christ...... a topic we never talk about on this podcast. Glad Ryan is coming to set us straight.

What's wrong with this episode of the The Truth Talks Podcast?The recorder we were using starting have some issues mid recordEvery person on this episode is in different time zones. 3 different time zones - Scheduling was tough. One of the guests internet was acting up slightly, so some of the words are kinda cut out. I had construction going on at my home during the time of the recording so you can hear a saw in the background. All in all, we made it work the best we could. Great podcast with Ekkie and Nathaniel.

This is probably going to be the first of many podcasts on John 17 - Jesus' high priestly prayer. Rich in theology and an example of who Christ is, this prayer goes far beyond the prayers of anyone else in scripture for the its richness and depth. It's not a just a prayer of of LORD, but it also helps us to understand the suffering we will endure as a true believer. Love this episode. It's short and mighty.

Hey folks! for the 3 of you that read the show notes I want to say thanks for listening. I have been so busy the past few weeks that I forgot to upload this podcast. Sorry for the delay. Everyday I am confronted by the reality of all of the false teaching I received over the years and Hebrews 1:1-3 has been a scripture I have been able to find peace in. I wanted to understand it more so this episode I ask Matt about some of the the things I have observed. Send us a message on how you like the podcast and how it impacts your life.

Define prayer?We start with John Bunyan's amazing definition of prayer and end with Matt's definition that has been a staple in his preaching for the last few months.

I mean, of course we will continue talking about prayer, but faith came in there at the end out of nowhere. Sorry that happened. I am beginning to believe that pray is inexhaustible. So many ways to go with it to worship, supplication, and thanksgiving. We an add in there grace.. and that dreaded 1 Peter scripture I tried to skip in this podcast.

We are talking about prayer (big surprise right?). The prayer of Jabez is how we start. Years of songs, books and sermons had me ask for clarification. Then I had Matt listen to an excerpt of Priscilla Shrirer. He's doing okay after that. I wish I could show the cringes he had during that ordeal. And we also go back to the last podcast talking about he means of grace God has provided for us. Since Matt is talking about prayer in his sermons on Sunday we will be doing the same for a few weeks. I have another topic I will be talking about in the midst of that which I think you all will enjoy.

Do you hear what I hear? The first part of the podcast is a wearisome. There are a lot of men out there that are like this and it's sad. The sin that is in the world is relentless and I want to say MARANATHA all the time. But the second half of the podcast we talk about the amazing son of God coming to earth.

First of all, I am releasing this on a saturday because I didn't have time to this week. I thought of you all... all 4 people who listen. Sorry it's late#Faith is one of those subjects that can be controversial and literally the reason why people make up their mind to never step foot in a church again. I have (and still) struggle with this concept. Growing up a #charismatic it has been an issue as I look to understand and process the concept of #solafide or "faith alone" - which is the concept that Martin Luther struggled with as a #RomanCatholic.

Hey all, somehow we were able to record this week. We have put ourselves on a schedule and we hope it all works out from here on out...So, Since this is the first podcast after G3 we decided to give you a little bit of our thoughts on it.. nothing comprehensive, but a little taste of why G3 was good. A great story of Matt's calling to ministry starting point. Pride is something we all deal with. Crazy that some of us are too proud to say that.

This episode is packed with information about divorce. First, as any good teacher should, Matt takes the time to go over a few key points from his last sermon on divorce (7/25/21 Click here to watch) and brings us to a great place to speak about "Replacement Theology" (click here for an article explaining it further). Fascinating topic, but in reality, the devastation of divorce is tragically horrible.Matt then takes the time to explain the very controversial statement he made towards the end of the sermon - "God is a Divorcee..." which most of us had questions about. He shows the scriptures explaining this (which is Jeremiah 3 

Did that just happen? Did we just come back without any warning?Yeah. We decided that we should not do anything differently with the podcast and since we had a bit of time to record a podcast. Sorry for the first part of the podcast being a bit low on the volume. Since we have not recorded for a while I had to get my bearing again and remember how to be an audio engineer... it's just like riding a bike though... once you get it going you remember what to do.Thank so much for the support and the prayers. I can't say I'll do an episode every week in the summer, but what I can say is that I will get back to doing it regularly again in the near future. This was just a podcast we recorded to get back in the swing of things and there will be more. Trust me!

Part 2 of 2 - Special announcement at the end of the podcast. With the #leaveloud movement underway Matt and I discuss why one, no matter the ethnicity, should leave a church. All information discussed on Jemar Tisby is found on his Twitter page - @jemartisby. Please keep in mind that we do not endorse Jemar as a solid preacher, minister, Christian, his church, podcast, or belief system. His teaching seems to subscribe to the methodology of "The Woke" and Black Liberation Theology which we totally condemn as a false gospel. He was inserted into the conversation for the purpose of acknowledging a movement that is counter to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ outlined in the scripture. Churches are being bombarded with all types of false "theologies" and this conversation is a start to explain why we (as believers) would leave a congregation such as one overrun with a false teaching... ...Or stay in a congregation that is teaching the Word of Truth properly.
