This podcast is a place for Christians who want to cultivate a deeper relationship with God. This won't be a one-dimensional podcast where only one topic is discussed. We will explore everything from eschatology to discipleship to politics. If you want to renew your mind with God's Word, a daily episode will give you plenty of material to "chew" on!

    The world seems to be unraveling right before our eyes. The Corona pandemic has really turned the world upside, but there is an even worse pandemic ravaging the people of the world–worry. Worry is the devil's form of meditation and it will lead to serious spiritual, emotional, and physical problems. But there is way to have God's inner peace in the midst of the storms of life, and this episode will address how.

    As a member of Christ's body, He takes note of when you feel pain and suffer, just like you notice pain in your own body. Jesus takes it personally when you hurt, so rest in the assurance that He notices and cares.

    Everyone has an internal compass. Unfortunately, a lot of people are walking around with broken compasses not knowing their needle is not pointing at true north. There are many forces in our culture competing to control your compass, such as politics, religion, and social media. The spirit of antichrist is working hard in the earth to move the needle in everyone's compass. Make sure you know where true north is (Christ), and know how to use the Bible to move your needle. 

    Evidence for God's Existence Part 3

    Did the universe have a beginning? Some of the brightest minds in physics wrestled with this and even Einstein, when his own equations led to the conclusion, couldn't accept it because of its philosophical and religious implications. Eventually the science backed the skeptics into a corner and they eventually embraced Big Band cosmology. The Kalam argument says that anything that begins to exist, even a universe, was caused. What caused the universe? Mind. Intelligence. Information preceded matter and energy so mind preceded the material universe. This mind is God.

    We continue in this episode with evidence for God's existence, but we're going to take a more philosophical approach this time and talk about the Cosmological Argument. Thomas Aquinas was a Christian philosopher who developed 5 ways, or 5 arguments for God's existence, and we're going to discuss the first 4.

    We will look at the evidence for God's existence using amino acids, proteins, cells, and the information in DNA. Did life really emerge from non-living atoms and molecules? Could complex chains of amino acids assemble themselves on their own? The origin of life has always been a mystery, but to say that time and chance alone brought it about, doesn't really answer the question without knowing where the information came from that preceded matter and energy. An intelligent being is the most plausible explanation for how something as complex as life could arise. 

    Can Christians Be Socialists?

    In this episode, we will tackle the very controversial topic of whether or not a Christian can embrace socialism. Socialism isn't bad just because conservatives say so. It's bad because it's based on a humanist worldview and that is a foundation that is sure to crumble.

    We often hear in Christian circles that Jesus wasn't concerned with politics, but was only interested in spiritual matters. Is this true? In this episode, we'll explore the incredibly political nature of Christ's birth, life, and future reign. Christians are being naive if they believe they can separate their faith from politics.

    We see the spirit of antichrist becoming more dominant in our culture. Christians are being silenced, bullied, sued, and targeted by the antichrist mobs. How are we to respond to what's happening in our culture? Are we going to be raptured and escape what's coming? No! We need to prepare for conditions to worsen before they improve, and we need to learn how to engage with this culture so we can win some to Christ.

This prophecy was given hundreds of years before Christ was born, yet it predicts to the year, when the Messiah would be presented to Israel as their King. This prophecy proves the Bible is truly God-inspired.

    There is much debate in the Church about the timing of the Rapture. Does it happen before the tribulation (pretribulation rapture), sometime after the midpoint (prewrath rapture), or at the very end of the tribulation (posttribulation rapture). This will be the first episode in a series of teachings on why I believe the posttribulation rapture position is the most biblical.  This is very important because if the posttribulation position is correct, that means evangelism in the very near future will become a bloody business. Knowing the timing of the rapture is crucial to understanding the future of evangelism and discipleship.
