What is This is That? It's a series of fearless conversations about culture and the connection to deep Biblical truths that American’s must hear at this pivotal time. Hosted by Steve Berger, pastor, father and international spiritual leader, this podcast
The This Is That With Steve Berger podcast has been a true blessing for me over the past year and a half. From the moment I first heard Steve's bold and passionate voice speaking God's direction biblically in these crazy times, I knew I had found something special. His integrity and solid Bible teaching make him not just a great preacher, but also a remarkable person. Steve's commitment to sharing the truth of Jesus is evident in every episode, and it is truly refreshing to hear someone unafraid to speak boldly in a world filled with confusion.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is Steve's passion and wisdom. He speaks with such conviction and clarity, helping us navigate through the increasingly confusing landscape of news, social media, and even modern churches. His words are not only inspiring but also practical, equipping us to live courageously and honorably in our faith. Listening to The This Is That podcast feels like having a personal mentor who guides us back to the foundations of truth.
However, as with any podcast or form of media, there can be some drawbacks. One potential downside is that Steve's teaching may be too strong or direct for some listeners. His uncompromising stance on biblical truth may challenge certain beliefs or ideologies that people hold dear. It is important for listeners to approach his teachings with an open mind and discernment, seeking God's guidance above all else.
In conclusion, The This Is That With Steve Berger podcast has been an incredible source of inspiration and growth for me personally. Steve's commitment to preaching pure biblical truth shines through every episode, reminding us of the importance of integrity and devotion to Jesus. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone seeking clarity in these confusing times and a deeper understanding of God's word. Thank you, Pastor Steve, for your unwavering commitment to equip and lead us on this journey of faith.

We see many critical attempts by God to bring people to repentance in Revelation. As the end draws nearer, the judgements turn up in severity, to the point of a nearly uninhabitable earth.

This is Revelation chapter 16. ---------SUBSCRIBE ▶️ Receive our latest videos:https://www.youtube.com/c/PastorSteve...ABOUTPastor, author and speaker Steve Berger is known for his straight talk in dealing with various hot-topic cultural issues that many pastors avoid.

Is Revelation Chapter 11 symbolic or literal? In this chapter, we discuss the rebuilding of the Temple, the two witnesses with fire that comes from their mouths, and the antichrist.

Trumpets and bowls are much more specific and detailed view than seals. * The seals also resemble general historic happenings- but these seals are meant to introduce us to a much more intense time of tribulation on the earth. Way more than anything the world has ever seen, Matt 24:21. * In fact, 6th seal is so intense the question gets asked, “who can stand?”---------SUBSCRIBE ▶️ Receive our latest videos:https://www.youtube.com/c/PastorSteve...ABOUTPastor, author and speaker Steve Berger is known for his straight talk in dealing with various hot-topic cultural issues that many pastors avoid.

The Spirit of the Accuser is something that, if you are a believer, you have probably experienced. It is a self righteous, high and mighty spirit that lives in those who believe they know God's Word better than anyone else, and are the self appointed judge and jury of interpreting the scriptures and deeming who is a "true Christian" and who is a heretic. They may even build their platform with the title "apologist", but their hearts are not to guide and guard God's people, but to rip apart every Christian they don't agree with. After all, THEY know better. In today's podcast, I expose the spirit of the Accuser as seen in the Bible, and modern day.key scripture:John 7:40-52Proverbs 6:16-19Revelation 12:10Luke 11:53,54Matthew 12:10Luke 23:2John 8:1-6Matthew 12:36---------SUBSCRIBE ▶️ Receive our latest videos:https://www.youtube.com/c/PastorSteve...ABOUTPastor, author and speaker Steve Berger is known for his straight talk in dealing with various hot-topic cultural issues that many pastors avoid.
