Thanks for checking out The Right Path. The trailer didn't give me quite enough time to say what I wanted to say to introduce this relaunch of the podcast. Therefore, I thought I would take a couple extra minutes and share with you what I'm hoping to do with the podcast, what I want to share with you, and how I hope it will help you, (and me for that matter). So thanks for checking out the podcast. If you'd like to discover more resources from me, please visit my website at daletedder.com.

On today's podcast I will be talking about the kingdom of God and what it means to have reformation and revival in the life of an individual, a church, and ultimately, the world.

Join me in this devotion for the fourth day of this advent season. Today's devotion presents us with a showdown between Jesus and the religious leaders of his day and how he dealt with the question of authority.

What do you want from Jesus? Why are you following him? That is the question Jesus asked his first disciples. It's a question he still asks us today. Check out this devotional for the third day of advent.

This advent season we are working through a series of devotionals for each day of this special season, as we prepare to celebrate the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is the first advent devotional of 2021. I'll be sharing a devotional each day as we move through advent and prepare ourselves for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ at Christmas. Please join me for the journey.

In today's podcast we're going to take a look at the differences between worldly wisdom and wisdom that comes from God. And will learn how to discern between the two and how we can put the godly wisdom that we find in scripture into practice in our lives.

It's popular today to talk about being on the right side of history. But what does Jesus say about that? It seems he's much more concerned about being on the right side of truth. And he also let us know that when we were on the right side of truth we are therefore on the right side of Jesus. That's what we'll be talking about in today's devotional podcast, the right side of truth. Come join us.

Today's episode looks at the deepest longings of our hearts. Christians believe that God has placed eternity in our hearts and nothing else in this world but God himself can really satisfy that desire.

In today's podcast we are going to take a look at what it means to craft your personal rule of life. What is a rule of life? What is it not? How can having one serve you in growing in your relationship with Christ and all the other aspects of your life and faith? Today's podcast is a brief introduction on the value of crafting your own personal rule of life. Enjoy!

In today's podcast we take a look at the nature of truth and what it means in relationship to Jesus Christ and his claims about himself. Pilate asked Jesus, “what is truth,” as the very incarnation of truth was standing right before him. Check out today's podcast and learn more about why this is such an important topic

In this episode we take a look at the power and authority Jesus had over evil spirits and how that gives us an example of the real identity of Jesus Christ. He was more than a man and more than a profit but he was the holy one of God. This is a great story about a showdown between Jesus and an evil spirit and gives us a wonderful illustration of the supremacy of Jesus.

This Holy Spirit who worked in Stephen is the same Spirit who has moved in and through the lives of followers of Jesus for two thousand years. And the good news is this same Holy Spirit can work in and through your life too!! Just imagine what God might do when we trust him and step out in dependence upon his powerful Spirit.

This is the fourth lesson in our series on Spiritual Power. This lesson focuses on what has to first happen in our lives before we can begin living the spiritual life.

Join me as we learn more about this from John 3:1-8.
