Should a disagreement on baptism prevent a man pursuing a woman? Kevin and Josh use this reader question as a launchpad to talk about wise discernment in courtship. They discuss authority and submission…whether deferring to a woman's preference is permissible if she otherwise won't marry you…the implications lurking beneath the surface of simple doctrinal questions…and whether there is something more important than mere confessional alignment.

Where is the line between protecting your children, and creating people who are unable to properly have conversations with others? Kevin and Josh look at scriptural examples and warnings, and discover that the biggest stumbling block to our children is often ourselves. Regardless of what dangers we shield them from, stumbling children happens in the home too. We often protect them from being taught bad worldviews – but fail to protect them from more direct sin.

What does the Bible actually teach about men and women, gender roles, and leadership in the church?In this episode of The Postscript Show, Brandon Briscoe sits down with Thomas Harding, pastor of Portland Gospel Church, to examine the debate between egalitarianism and complementarianism. They discuss biblical authority and hermeneutics, whether Galatians 3:28 teaches that gender distinctions have been erased in Christ, and why the doctrine of creation is foundational to understanding God's design for men and women.The conversation also examines Jesus' teaching, Paul's instructions in Ephesians and 1 Timothy, the qualifications for pastors and deacons, and why Paul's teaching on gender roles is rooted in creation rather than merely first-century culture.Does complementarianism diminish women? Brandon and Thomas address this question from Scripture, showing how equal value in Christ does not require identical responsibilities. They also discuss how biblical distinctions between men and women allow both to serve the church in meaningful and complementary ways.Finally, they discuss how pastors and church members can hold firmly to biblical convictions while showing grace and compassion toward people wrestling with these questions—and why discipleship and the gospel should remain central.Visit http://lfbi.org/learnmore

Can you love the Jewish people and Judaism while rejecting Israel and Zionism? And what does the Bible actually say about Zion? In this powerful and timely episode of The Land of Israel Guys Podcast, we take on the increasingly controversial word “Zionism” and ask what it really means from a biblical perspective. As anti-Israel rhetoric grows louder in America and around the world, even some people who call themselves “pro-Israel” are becoming uncomfortable with the word. But Zionism isn't simply a modern political movement—it is connected to Zion, Jerusalem, the return of the Jewish people to their ancestral homeland, and the biblical promises of redemption. We also examine the growing political battle over Israel in America, the rise of Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, anti-Israel activism, the debate over “settler violence,” and the way Judea and Samaria are portrayed in the media. Most importantly, we return to the Bible and ask: What is God doing in Israel right now? Why does Zion matter? And could the battle over Israel ultimately be a battle over the fulfillment of biblical prophecy? ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 God Is Zealous for Zion 05:05 Jerusalem and God's Plan for Redemption 17:35 Why Has “Zionism” Become a Trigger Word? 22:03 God Loves Zion — What Does the Bible Say? 27:12 The Political Battle Over Israel 33:31 Why Is Israel Hated?

In this sermon, Pastor Eric shows how Christians are called to handle wealth, possessions, time, influence, and the gospel with faithful stewardship. Everything we have has been entrusted to us by God, and our calling is not to hoard it, worship it, or place our hope in it, but to use it for what will last.Scripture References:1 Timothy 6:17–211 Timothy 6:9–10Proverbs 16:18James 4:6Matthew 19:21–22Matthew 6:19–20Romans 12:1–2At River Oak Church, we are a welcoming family of imperfect people who share a passion for God, a passion for others, and a passion for graciously sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.  We enjoy an informal environment and Christ-exalting modern worship, and we are committed to following the truth of God's Word.  We welcome you to come as you are, from wherever you've been, and join us!To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://riveroakchurch.org/give/Support the show

Kevin and Josh investigate the biblical right and responsibility of bearing arms to preserve the lives of those we care for. They talk about how the great missionary John G.

What does God's Word say about gay rights? The first mention in the Bible of this particular subject is found in Genesis 13:13, speaking of the men of Sodom and their sin.

In this episode of Revelations Podcast, Reagan Kramer welcomes back Amy Roper from Eyes on the Right for an in-depth discussion about the biblical significance of the sea, the "deep," and what Scripture reveals about the spiritual realm often referred to as the Marine Kingdom. Beginning in Genesis, Amy traces the theme of the waters throughout the Bible, exploring passages about the abyss (tehom), Sheol, Leviathan, Dagon, and Johah. Together, they examine how ancient cultures consistently worshiped water deities, how these themes appear throughout history and mythology, and why understanding the biblical worldview helps Christians discern spiritual deception without falling into fear. The conversation emphasizes that many biblical stories—including Jonah, Jesus calming the sea, and the miracles surrounding water—demonstrate Christ's complete authority over all creation and every spiritual power. The discussion also explores how marine symbolism appears in modern culture through entertainment, mythology, corporate imagery, financial language, and current conversations surrounding unexplained underwater phenomena.  Reagan and Amy encourage listeners to search the Scriptures for themselves, test everything through the Holy Spirit, and develop biblical discernment.  The key takeaway is that believers are engaged in a spiritual battle, but they do not need to fear the unknown because Jesus Christ reigns over every realm—land, sea, and sky. His authority is absolute, His victory is complete, and Christians can confidently walk in wisdom, discernment, and the power He has given them.

The kingdom of God begins in a garden, while cities are depicted as centers and symbols of rebellion and pride. The first city is built by Cain, succeeded by Babel, Sodom, Nineveh, even Jerusalem. Yet God calls us to seek the peace of the cities we live in…and He himself has a city, the New Jerusalem.

In this episode, we explore what the Bible teaches about human emotions and how they are meant to be guided by God's truth rather than by our circumstances. From anger and forgiveness to joy, sorrow, and compassion, you'll discover that emotions themselves are not the problem. It's how we respond to them that reveals our spiritual maturity. Through Scripture, we examine God's own emotions, the emotions displayed by Jesus, and the practical wisdom the Bible offers for navigating life's most difficult moments. You'll also hear powerful biblical examples of Christ's compassion and learn why love is presented as the greatest characteristic a believer can possess. This episode offers encouragement for anyone struggling with hurt, disappointment, anger, or grief, while revealing timeless principles that can bring peace, healing, and hope. Join us as we uncover how living according to God's Word transforms not only our actions but also our hearts.
