Podcast appearances and mentions of Billy Graham

Discover the liberating truth about evangelism - it's not about starting something new, but joining God where He's already working. This message explores the biblical story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch from Acts 8, revealing how God had already been working in the eunuch's life before Philip arrived. Learn why understanding evangelism as participation in God's ongoing work removes the pressure many feel when sharing their faith. Billy Graham's insight that most people need about seven spiritual interactions before embracing faith helps us see how our small role fits into God's bigger plan. Whether you're planting seeds or watering them, God is the one who brings growth. Discover three practical approaches to recognizing and joining God's work: living in ways that naturally provoke questions, initiating spiritual conversations with curious questions, and simply inviting others to 'come and see.' Perfect for anyone who feels awkward about evangelism, struggles with sharing their faith, or wants to become more effective in spiritual conversations. This message offers biblical insights on the Holy Spirit's work, personal evangelism, spiritual conversations, relational ministry, and finding your place in God's redemptive story. Learn how to recognize divine appointments and participate in what God is already doing in the lives around you.This sermon was recorded at a Sunday morning gathering at Church of the Lookout in Longmont, Colorado.Visit our websiteFollow us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

En un pequeño granero de Carolina del Norte, en 1934, un grupo de cristianos se reunió a orar por un avivamiento. Oraban con fe, sin cámaras, sin redes sociales, sin aplausos. Una de sus peticiones fue que Dios levantara a un joven que predicara el evangelio a las naciones. Ese día, un adolescente escuchó el mensaje del evangelista y entregó su vida a Cristo. Su nombre: Billy Graham. Las grandes obras de Dios suelen comenzar con oraciones humildes. Ana oró por un hijo y nació Samuel. Elías oró y descendió fuego del cielo. La iglesia oró por Pedro en la cárcel y un ángel lo liberó. Por lo tanto, no subestimes lo que ocurre cuando te arrodillas. Cada oración, por más sencilla que parezca, llega al trono del Dios todopoderoso. Tal vez no veas la respuesta de inmediato, pero algo se está moviendo en el cielo. Por eso, ora sin cesar. Ora como si tu oración pudiera cambiar una generación. Porque puede. La Biblia dice en Santiago 5:16: “La oración eficaz del justo puede mucho” (RV1960).

What if the next Billy Graham is sitting in your Bible study?In this electrifying message from Pastor Roman Gutierrez at the McAllen International Bible Conference, we're reminded that global impact begins with local obedience. From the living rooms of early believers to the international legacy of preachers like Billy Graham and Wayman Mitchell, Pastor Roman issues a direct and disruptive challenge to this generation of disciples: Will you pay the price?This episode will stir your heart to:Reignite your passion for your cityRaise up radical disciples with generational impactRespond to God's call—even when it disrupts your comfortFilled with stories of revival in home fellowships, daring obedience in foreign nations, and the raw honesty of those who refused to settle for mediocrity, this sermon is a commissioning moment for anyone who dares to say, “God, use my life.”“We cannot make global impact if we're not willing to lay down our lives.” — Pastor Roman Gutierrez

„Podľa toho poznajú všetci, že ste moji učeníci, keď sa budete vzájomne milovať.“ (J 13:35) Ľudská duša je osamelá vec. Musí mať uistenie priateľov. Ak je ponechaná úplne sama na seba, nevie si nič užívať. Na počiatku Boh povedal: „Nie je dobré človeku byť osamote.“ (1M 2:18) Stvorenie Evy bol začiatok ľudského priateľstva.

The good news of Christianity is that we can all have hope no matter how bad or sad life and the world may be. ‘Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness,' said Desmond Tutu, one of the leading opponents of Apartheid in South Africa.    Pastor Wes Richards' first book called ‘Hope and a Future: a story of love, loss and living again' tells how his family was restored after grieving the loss of a much-loved wife and mother. It's been translated into Spanish and Portuguese and the feedback received shows that hope is a universal need. Everybody needs hope, from the least to the greatest.    This week in the VE Day 80th anniversary celebrations, Winston Churchill's inspiring words of hope have once more been broadcast to millions. Yet as he grew older and again became Prime Minister, the great man was himself in need of great hope as he faced the post-war years of new domestic and global social, economic and political challenges. In 1954 he invited Billy Graham to Downing Street for a 20-minute meeting after hearing of the great crowds that had gathered to listen to the evangelist in Wembley and other stadiums. Although they overran their allotted time, Churchill told Graham to keep speaking, and the evangelist affirmed that God was the only hope for the world and for us individually.   You don't have to be a Billy Graham, however, to spread the good news as a remarkable Bible story in 2 Kings 6:24-7:6 shows us. In 2 Kings 7:9, four outcast lepers: ‘said to each other, “We're not doing right. This is a day of good news and we are keeping it to ourselves.”' This is a story that has many applications for us today:  1. People desperately need hope (2 Kings 6:28-30) 2. Today is a day of hope (2 Kings 7:1-9; Luke 2:10-11; John 6:35; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Psalm 103:3; 1 John 1:9; John 14:6; John 8:12,36; Luke 4:18-19; John 11:25) 3. We have a responsibility to share the good news of hope (2 Kings 7:9-16; 2 Corinthians 5:20 & 6:2) Apply  1. People desperately need hope. They were people who had been through extremely tough circumstances. This story is set in the 9th century before Christ and, not for the first time, Israel was a nation under attack. An entire city, Samaria, was under siege. Ben-Hadad king of Aram to the north of Israel wanted to starve them into submission. The siege lasted so long that ‘there was a great famine in the city.' The economy was shattered, and inflation rocketed, like it has done in many failed states. As food was so scarce they were people who had lost their way morally and spiritually. They were desperate and moral values were thrown out. Anything went and the people resorted to cannibalism (2 Kings 6:28), just like in World War 2, particularly during the long siege of Leningrad. All kinds of things happen when moral values collapse. They were people who saw no way out of their pain, where death and despair stalked the city and those in authority had no answer (2 Kings 6:30). The King tore his clothes, his close advisors were depressed and cynical, declaring not even God could help them. Today there is a great famine in many developed nations as well as literal famines in other nations. People are starved of Love: family break up is at record levels. So many suffer abuse, cruelty, pain and heartache in their homes. People are starved of Direction: they don't know where their lives are headed. They too lack a moral or spiritual compass. People are starved of Meaning: suicides are up, particularly amongst the young, because of a sense that life has no meaning or purpose. People are starved of Hope: they are worried and depressed about the future. Many people indeed lead lives of quiet desperation. However, there is hope!  2. Today is a day of hope. The answer to the hopeless situation did not come from a political ruler but from a prophet of God. Elisha was a man who knew the character of God and the reality of the power of God. And he had a word from God that there was about to come a big turnaround in the economy because there would very quickly be a big change in their circumstances (2 Kings 7:1). Sky high prices would drop because there would be more than enough supplies for everyone, the famine would end, and people would suddenly have real reason to hope. So these four desperate lepers wandered into enemy lines only to find the enemy forces had fled leaving food and provision everywhere (2 Kings 7:3-9). They couldn't believe it, but it was true. Their famine was over! Today also is ‘a day of good news.' And that good news is not coming from the politicians or the press but from those who understand what Christianity is all about. For good news is at the heart of Christianity. When Jesus came into the world it was a cause for celebration (Luke 2:10-11). The good news of Christianity is that when everything seems lost and hopeless we can be rescued. You don't have to just exist. You don't have to be so empty. You don't have to be trapped by your circumstances. You don't have to stay depressed. Your famine can end (John 6:35). Instead of emptiness and sadness, you can be filled with love, joy, peace when you have an encounter with the Holy Spirit who makes Jesus real to us. You can have a new start (2 Corinthians 5:17). God can make all things new by changing you from the inside out. You can be forgiven for your wrongdoing, even if you have some big regrets in your life (Psalm 103:3; 1 John 1:9). You can find meaning and direction (John 14:6; John 8:12). You can discover a whole new life of freedom (John 8:36). No habit, addiction, problem or sin needs to hold you captive. You can be free from fear and guilt and shame, freed to be all that God meant you to be. You can experience great favour (Luke 4:18-19). God wants to bless you with His goodness and mercy all the days of your life. You can be blessed in your emotions, your body, your spirit, your finances, your family and in every area of life. You can be confident of a secure future (John 11:25), with hope for this life and the next. So how are people going to get to know that they have hope and a future? That's up to you and me.  3. We have a responsibility to share the good news of hope. The four lepers in the story had their own needs met and were really enjoying themselves. But then they thought of all the starving people back in the city (2 Kings 7:9-16). They told them an amazing message of hope. At first people were skeptical, as many are today. But then they decided to investigate for themselves, and they found out it was all true. There was good news after all. The whole city was saved because a few people were bold enough to share the good news. In the New Testament Jesus commanded his disciples to spread the good news to everyone everywhere. Every Christian has a responsibility to communicate this message of hope (2 Corinthians 5:20). We need to do this personally, spreading the word to your friends, family and contacts. We need to do this urgently like the lepers who knew how desperate people were for hope, so they reported the news 'at once'. There is no time to lose in giving people hope (2 Corinthians 6:2). Today you can discover the good news of the hope that Jesus offers and then you need to become an ambassador of hope.  

When we invite Christ in—let's say you're at a revival or you listen to an old Billy Graham sermon on the radio or you're reading the book of John in the Bible and you have the urge to invite Christ to take over your life, that is what it means to invite Christ into your soul—and Christ is a different order of powers than we are. We are what's called Second Order of Powers. The First Order of Powers were the Aeons; we're the Second Order of Powers. The Third Order of Powers is the Christ. And there is a Third Order Power for every Second Order Power. That's how it is that Jesus or Christ comes with your face and knows everything about you because Christ is an image of the perfection that you can be. Jesus was the first human that fully embodied the Third Order of Powers. Now it's your turn... When we invite Christ in, we invite the Christ to take residence in our souls and in our bodies. We invite the Christ's Third Order Powers to replace our own Second Order Powers because we're leveling up. We're leveling up to a more powerful and loving Godly existence when we invite Christ in.

#595 Hope for our Loved Ones. I hope you don't mind the question but, if it were your last day, and everyone will have one of those, what is the hope you leave behind for those who have been important in your life? Billy Graham once said that the most important day we should prepare for is our last day. Yet rejoice in this Believer, your last breath here will be your first breath there in heaven…                       

Billy Graham once said, “Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys.” No one enjoys failure—but Jesus meets us there, transforming us through it to become more like Him. Are you walking through failure right now? Check out this message and experience God's hope in the valley.

No one wants to think about death, but if you're a Christian, you know that Christ has conquered the grave. Still, at some point, physical death will separate us from our loved ones. The question is: What kind of legacy will you leave behind. How will your children remember you?Billy Graham, one of the most widely known evangelists of the 20th century, said, “The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is a legacy of character and faith.”There's nothing wrong in being remembered for your work accomplishments or athletic abilities. But, in the end, your kids will most appreciate the time and attention you invested in their lives. Life is incredibly short. Are you building a legacy of character and faith?For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

Your comments are welcome! Send a text my way!Our National Day of Prayer is here on May 1, 2025! It is time once again for Christians to take part in this special annual event that calls for us to take time to pray for our nation, the church, our government, our society, our leadership across this nation, for peace in our world, and for a revival that brings repentance and biblical spiritual renewal to our land. Certainly our prayer needs are great in these times. We live in a world that often seems dangerous, which requires the need for us to stand in the gap - the spiritual gap - and call upon our God to bring us back to His will and ways. This episode of 2Days Denarius celebrates the history of the National Day of Prayer, along with providing three prayers (including one from the late great Evangelist, Billy Graham. These prayers may serve as a guide or encourage direct participation for those who listen, or those who desire guidance on what to pray for. There is strength in numbers when God's people pray together! Join in with millions of other Americans on Thursday, May 1, 2025 in our annual concert of prayer! * Two corrections are added here: 1) President Ronald Reagan signed his first proclamation for the National Day of Prayer in 1983. 2) Congress approved the National Day of Prayer to be observed on May 1 annually on the first Thursday in May, which was signed into law by President Reagan, in 1988.2Days Denarius is a Bible believing teaching ministry devoted to the inerrancy, infallibility, and authority of Scripture as our only rule of faith and practice.

In today's message, Pastor Aaron McRae unpacks one of the most misunderstood teachings of Jesus: “Do not judge.” As part of our journey through the Sermon on the Mount, we explore what true judgment looks like — discerning without condemning, examining our own hearts before pointing at others, and living out Jesus' call to love.We discuss the danger of a judgmental spirit, the difference between discernment and condemnation, and how to follow the Golden Rule in a world quick to criticize. Ultimately, we are reminded that judgment belongs to God alone, and we are called to walk in humility, love, and truth.Key Scriptures: Matthew 7:1–6, Matthew 7:12, Romans 13:8-10, Psalm 139:23 References: Bible Project, "UnChristian" by David Kinnaman, teachings by Jonathan Pennington, Scot McKnight, and Billy Graham.Join us as we seek to love others as Christ has loved us — with grace, discernment, and hope.#SermonOnTheMount #DoNotJudge #LoveFirst #JesusTeaching #GoldenRuleFor the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel.

Overview:In this episode, Ryan and Brian dive into a recent Christianity Today article by Daniel Silliman that sparked controversy by discussing scholar Jeffrey Paul Garcia's research suggesting Jesus' crucifixion may not have involved nails. The hosts explore the article's implications, the role of biblical scholarship, and the historical and archaeological evidence surrounding crucifixion. They also reflect on the importance of careful scholarship and its presentation to the public.Key Topics Discussed:Introduction to the Christianity Today ArticleArticle by Daniel Silliman references Jeffrey Garcia's research, which proposes that ropes, not nails, may have been used in Jesus' crucifixion.Published around Easter, leading to a firestorm of responses due to its timing and implications.Ryan notes he heard Garcia present this paper at the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) meeting in 2006, highlighting the slow dissemination of scholarly work.Context of Biblical ScholarshipRyan defines a scholar as someone deeply engaged in study, emphasizing that it's not an elite category but a commitment to rigorous inquiry.Describes the SBL as a diverse gathering of scholars, including conservatives, nonbelievers, and others, studying Christian, Hebrew, and intertestamental texts.Contrasts how ideas are received in scholarly settings versus congregational ones, noting the skepticism scholars face at SBL.The Article's Claims and EvidenceGarcia's argument: Nails are not explicitly mentioned in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke), and some ancient sources suggest ropes were used in crucifixions.Ryan counters with literary evidence:John 20 explicitly mentions nail marks in Jesus' hands (verses 25, 27).Luke 24:39-40 implies wounds in Jesus' hands and feet, supporting the nail narrative.Archaeological evidence:Yohanan's skeleton (found in Jerusalem post-Six Days War) with a nail in the heel bone, suggesting nails were used.Govello skeleton in Italy, another crucified individual with ankle damage.Nails were often reused due to the value of iron, explaining scarce archaeological remains.Ancient Roman inscription lists nails as essential for crucifixion, reinforcing their use.Response to the ArticleChristianity Today's evangelical roots (founded with Billy Graham's involvement) make the article's publication surprising, as it was perceived to question scriptural inerrancy.Silliman issued an apology, admitting he didn't consider John 20 or the impact on readers' views of inerrancy.Ryan and Brian critique the article's presentation in a popular outlet, which may lack the scholarly nuance needed for such claims.Historical and Archaeological Insights on CrucifixionRyan references Martin Hengel's book, Crucifixion in the Ancient World and the Folly of the Message of the Cross, which details the widespread use of crucifixion by Romans.Crucifixion was not just execution but public humiliation, often near roads for visibility.Variations in crucifixion methods:Crosses were likely lower than depicted in media.Shapes varied (e.g., capital T vs. small t).Some were crucified post-mortem for display.Example: Peter's upside-down crucifixion per church tradition.Yohanan's leg fractures were likely post-mortem, not evidence of crurifragium (leg-breaking to hasten death), as initially thought.The Role of Scholarship in FaithRyan defends...

What if your everyday life—your table, your car ride, your office—was the front line of a rescue mission? In this powerful episode of Fearless, Cissie Graham Lynch challenges listeners to reframe their understanding of legacy, not as something we leave behind, but as something we live out—a mission to bring hope, light, and salvation to a dark and broken world.Inspired by the real-life story of a Thai soccer team trapped in a flooded cave, Cissie reflects on the heroic rescue that unfolded—where deep cave divers from around the world risked everything to bring 12 boys and their coach back to the surface. That image of headlamps piercing darkness becomes a profound metaphor for the Christian life: believers are not passive bystanders, but active participants in God's mission to seek and save the lost.Drawing from personal memories of her grandfather, Billy Graham, and the legacy of rescue he embodied, Cissie unpacks the biblical truth behind what it means to “make heaven crowded.” She shares how even the most ordinary people—like her mother, quietly discipling around the kitchen table—can play an extraordinary role in eternity.Throughout the episode, Cissie references key Scriptures, including:John 14:6 – “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”Proverbs 24:11-12 – “Rescue those being taken away to death...”Luke 16 – The parable of Lazarus and the rich man, a sobering reminder of heaven and hell as real destinations.Revelation 14:13 – “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord... for their deeds follow them.”She also shares a powerful quote from Billy Graham: “Someday you will read that Billy Graham is dead. Don't you believe a word of it. I shall be more alive than I am now. I will have just changed my address.”Whether you're on a stage, in a classroom, or simply driving your kids to school, this episode will remind you: your mission field is wherever God has placed you—and your job is to make heaven crowded.

My Story Talk 15 Ministry at Colchester 1962-68 Part 3 Welcome to Talk 15 in our series where I am reflecting on God's goodness to me throughout my life. Today is the final talk about our ministry in Colchester between 1962 and 1968. These were the first few years of our married life and so far I have shared with you about the birth of our first two children, our housing, employment, holidays and transport.   We have talked about the growth of the church and the reasons for it, testified to an outstanding miracle, explained how I got to know more about Assemblies of God, and how God called me to give up my teaching job and go into full-time ministry.   Today I'll be sharing first how this led me into a wider ministry, and concluding with two important lessons I felt God was beginning to teach me.   A wider ministry – the Students' Pentecostal Fellowship If I had thought initially that God's purpose in leading me into full-time ministry was just so that I could give more time to the local church, I was soon to learn otherwise. It certainly did that, but I soon began to receive invitations to preach in churches at weekend conventions, and, more significantly, to speak in Coleford at a National Day School Teachers' Conference on the relevance of the baptism in the Holy Spirit in day school teaching today.   It was there I met members of the AoG Home Missions Council and the National Youth Council who, if I remember correctly, had jointly organised the conference. The invitation came, no doubt, not only because I was a pastor who had until recently been a schoolteacher, but also because of my ministry in praying for people to receive the baptism and my role in the Students' Pentecostal Fellowship.   I have already mentioned how, while I was at Oxford, I was asked to share my testimony at the AoG National Youth Rally held in the Birmingham Town Hall and to contribute an article in Redemption Tidings entitled Pentecost in Oxford University. So I was by no means unknown in the wider fellowship, and it was probably not surprising that, when Richard Bolt resigned as Travelling Secretary of the SPF, I should be asked to take over his role of visiting colleges and universities, preaching and praying for students to be filled with the Spirit, which of course would not have been possible if I had remained in school teaching.   Universities where I conducted meetings on those early SPF travels included Oxford, Cambridge, Leicester, Loughborough, Nottingham, Durham, and Newcastle. Later, after I had left Colchester, I also preached in the University of Louvain (Leuven) in Belgium, and in 1972 in the majority of universities in the state of Illinois.   The purpose of all these meetings was to tell people about the baptism in the Spirit, explain why it was biblical, and to pray for them to receive as I laid hands on them at the close of the gathering. Among the many who received were the chaplain of Queen's College, Cambridge, and William Kay a student at Trinity College, Oxford, who had come to Christ at a Billy Graham meeting in London.   Valentine Cunningham, a student at Keble College, and the son of an AoG pastor, invited William to a meeting he had organised where I was to preach on the baptism in the Spirit. After he graduated he became a member of my church in Basingstoke, a close friend, a lecturer at Mattersey Hall Bible College, and a university professor who has contributed much to Pentecostal education around the world.   Val Cunningham went on to become Professor of English at Oxford and was a great help to me when I wrote Be Filled with the Spirit, a booklet published by the SPF, which proved to be the springboard for my ministry as an author.   Other former SPF members who became professors were John Miles and Michael Collins. John, after spending some years as a missionary in Congo became Professor of French at Wheaton, and Michael, after serving as SPF General Secretary, became Professor of Engineering at City University, London.   He was succeeded as SPF General Secretary by Andrew Parfitt, who after spending years in school teaching, became an AoG minister, as did Jeff Clarke who received the baptism under my ministry while he was a student at Oxford, and David Littlewood who received while was a student at Essex.   It is clear from all this that during the course of my lifetime Pentecostals have moved on from being suspicious of higher education to embracing it and playing an active role within it. This will become even clearer when we consider in a later talk the educational developments in our Bible Colleges.   Lessons I learnt at Colchester Of course, I myself had never been to Bible College. And although I had received excellent teaching from my father and from Leslie Moxham, my pastor at Elm Park Baptist, I had received no formal training for ministry, and back then there was no provision in Assemblies of God for supervision from a more experienced minister. So I was very much learning on the job and was conscious of my need for the guidance, help, and the enabling of the Holy Spirit.   But my experience at Colchester taught me many lessons. The most significant of these was learning to trust God for our needs after I had relinquished my secular employment, which I have already mentioned. But there were two other areas the importance of which I began to understand more clearly. These were:   o   the nature of the ministry God had given me o   the importance of a balanced theology of healing.        The nature of the ministry God had given me In my teens I had been greatly impressed by the ministry of Billy Graham. I had seen thousands of people walk forward in response to his appeals for salvation. Surely this kind of evangelism must be the answer and, when I felt the call to the ministry at the age of 16, I soon began to have dreams of becoming an evangelist. Later, after I was baptised in the Spirit, I came to see the importance of healing in evangelism and, as I have mentioned previously, was greatly influenced by Richard Bolt who was seeing remarkable healings in his evangelistic crusades.  And at that time the American Pentecostal evangelist T. L. Osborn had made his books on healing available to students free of charge and I had read them avidly.   So I now wanted to be a healing evangelist, a desire which was evident in the two evangelistic and healing missions I conducted at Colchester. And that was why, although I shared with others the responsibility of preaching and teaching on Sunday mornings and midweek Bible Studies, I always did the preaching at the Sunday evening Gospel Service.   But when Harold Womersley, veteran missionary of the Congo Evangelisitc Mission visited us on itinerary, he asked me – purely out of interest, I think – about what I was teaching at our Bible Study meetings. And when I told him that, when it was my turn, I just gave whatever word the Lord had put on my heart, he graciously suggested that as the pastor it was my responsibility the feed the flock by regular and systematic teaching of the truths of God's word.   This, I think, would have been at about the time that I had given up my school teaching job, and so, taking his words to heart, I set about planning various series of weekly Bible studies, and I discovered that I really enjoyed it and, to my surprise, so did those who came to hear me. It was gradually dawning on me that my primary ministry was not to be evangelism – though I have not been totally unsuccessful in that area – but teaching.   Of course, I had no idea then how that teaching gift would eventually be expressed not only in churches, but also as a Bible College principal and as a writer. But that brings me to another closely related lesson I began to learn at Colchester, the importance of a biblically balanced doctrine of healing.   The importance of a balanced theology of healing As I mentioned at the beginning of this series, ever since my father told me of the healing of my aunt who had been deaf and dumb from birth, I have always believed that God still works miracles of healing today. I grew up with the belief that everyone could be healed if only they had enough faith and that the lack of miracles today was entirely due to lack of faith.   This understanding was confirmed by the teaching of Richard Bolt and the books of T.L.Osborn and was directly related to the doctrine that Jesus died not only for our sins, but for our sicknesses too. We can claim our healing in just the same way as we can claim forgiveness of sins, and all because Jesus died for us. I embraced this teaching wholeheartedly, and that is what I preached.   But my experience as a pastor in Colchester didn't always seem to confirm this doctrine. It was great when we saw people healed, but what could I say to those who were not? Did I really have to tell them that the reason they were not healed was lack of faith, or that there must be some unconfessed sin in their life? And whereas this might apply in some cases, it surely was not true of all?   I simply could not believe, for example, that when Jack Joliffe was diagnosed with a cancer that first disfigured him and eventually destroyed him, it happened because of lack of faith or some secret sin. I knew him too well. He was a godly man, full of faith, and an elder of our church. It's all too easy for evangelists to preach these doctrines and then move on, while pastors are left with the care of Christians who have not been healed and have been wounded by the teaching that if they are sick it is somehow their fault.   But it is not my intention in this talk to repeat what I have already said at length elsewhere. My rejection of this view is comprehensively explained in my Ph.D. thesis, Healing and the Atonement, where I argue that, although there is a sense in which healing may rightly be understood to be in the atonement, it is not true to say that Jesus died for our sicknesses in exactly they same way that he died for our sins. I have also explained this in my book Just a Taste of Heaven – a biblical and balanced approach to God's healing power, which is available from my website www.davidpetts.org.   I simply mention it here because it was at Colchester that I began to question what I had previously believed about healing. Of course, we mustn't build our doctrine on our experience, but if our experience doesn't tally with our doctrine it's always good to consider whether we've understood the scriptures correctly.   So I was learning important lessons at Colchester which were to stand me in good stead for the next ten years when we would be pastoring the assembly in Basingstoke. Life is a continuing process of learning and sometimes unlearning, and Basingstoke was no exception. Next time I'll begin by telling you how we came to move there.  

Segment 1 • The Resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian faith, but Andy Stanley downplays its biblical foundation. • Many missed hearing the Gospel this Easter, with Stanley offering no biblical foundation for the Resurrection. • King Charles' Easter message referenced Muslims, and the Pope's final Easter address called for world peace—but both sidestepped the central message of Easter: God's love through Christ. Segment 2 • Melito of Sardis, a second-century saint, preached a powerful gospel-centered sermon that would be rejected by many modern preachers. • His Easter sermon focuses on the suffering of Jesus, contrasting with today's often trivialized, moralistic messages. • Melito's preaching is drenched in the gospel, not stories or jokes, calling us to rejoice in the true meaning of Easter. Segment 3 • Sermons like Melito's from 170 A.D. are rare today, yet they are a rich example of Christ-centered, theologically sound preaching. • This sermon is lofty and reverent, elevating the listener's understanding of God, and demonstrates the power of high view theology. Segment 4 • A few exceptions to weak Easter preaching: Franklin Graham and Billy Graham both stayed true to the Gospel. • Billy Graham's Easter message was fully focused on Jesus—no distractions, no moralism, just the glorious gospel. • Preaching centered on Christ and the Word lasts, and is desperately needed in today's pulpits. – Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme – Thanks for listening!

Lee Strobel is a skeptic by nature. With a law degree and a career in investigative journalism, he set out to disprove the merits of Christianity. In his research—all for the purpose of “rescuing” his wife from a local church—he discovered something unexpected.  On this Easter episode, Lee tells us about his investigation into the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and how those three truths are the source of ultimate hope.  Lee Strobel is the bestselling author of books such as The Case for Christ, Is God Real?, and his newest book, Seeing the Supernatural. This episode of GPS is a re-air of episode 284 and features new insight Lee Strobel shared during his recent interview on the podcast Fearless with Cissie Graham Lynch. Connect with us through email at gps@billygraham.org or on Facebook at Billy Graham Radio.If you'd like to know more about beginning a relationship with Jesus Christ, or deepening the faith you already have, visit FindPeacewithGod.net.If you'd like to pray with someone, call our Billy Graham 24/7 Prayer Line at 855-255-7729. 

In this episode, Russell Moore, editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, joins Mark Labberton to discuss the seismic political, moral, cultural, and spiritual crises facing American evangelicalism and how to respond. Reflecting on his own journey from the Southern Baptist Convention to his current role, Moore offers a candid and theologically rich diagnosis of a movement he describes as simultaneously fragmented, bored, and longing for renewal. Drawing parallels to historical awakenings and moments of global upheaval, Moore challenges listeners to consider what faithful Christian witness looks like in a time of digital saturation, political idolatry, and ecclesial disillusionment. Together, they wrestle with how evangelical institutions can resist becoming co-opted by market forces or ideologies, and instead return to the soul of the gospel—Jesus himself. Episode Highlights “We simply want Jesus as revealed in scripture.” (Russell Moore) “The good news is so clouded with distorted noise.” (Mark Labberton) “You mistakenly think that the solution has to be at the same scale as the problem.” (Wendall Berry, cited by Russell Moore) “Every person has to have an act of willful excommunication.” (Nicholas Carr, cited by Russell Moore) “Christian Nationalism is like ‘Bizarro Evangelicalism' … i f you can get external conformity, then you have righteousness.” (Russell Moore) Karl Barth on Christian disillusionment during World War I: “We  we want to preach the gospel as though nothing has happened.” … “ He's saying the church is being co-opted and used by forces alien to it. And there have to be people who are free from that to actually appeal to the genuine gospel and to remind people that God is God.” About Russell Moore Russell Moore is Editor in Chief of Christianity Today and is the author of Losing Our Religion: An Altar Call for Evangelical America (Penguin Random House).

Show Notes Comparing Christianity Today and Fuller Theological Seminary Religious reconsiderations post-World War II “My grandfather was blown out of a tank by the Nazis in the Battle of the Bulge and came back. He went an unbeliever, came back really feeling his mortality and, and searching for answers. And ended up at a revival meeting where he came to know Christ.” A false choice presented to Christians: “You had this false choice being presented to Christians … you either go with an ever narrowing, ever quarrelsome sort of group of fundamentalists or you liberalize.” Billy Graham and Martin Luther King, Jr. The recent history of Evangelical Christianity A Movement in Crisis: What is the state of Evangelicalism in America? Revival preachers and entrepreneurialism: a religious, market-driven reality “Lifelessness and deadness” “ I can't think of a single church that has split over Christology. Most of the arguments have to do with politics and, and related sort of cultural issues because that's what people really care about and what they really think often is important.” Tumult of the digital economy Alienation, dehumanization: “We can simultaneously think of ourselves as gods and as sets of data and algorithms.” Speed of change and life Teaching ethics: a final exam question students have never thought about How to prepare people for ethical problems and real-life challenges Mental health crisis: “high rates of depression and anxiety driven by a piece of glass that everybody carries in his or her pocket that can connect that person with all of the information in the entire world.” 100 years since the invention and use of the microphone No microphones, but extraordinary voices “The dials are askew, because the sound that evangelicalism is evoking in so many quadrants is a sound that is hostile and grading and brash and arrogant.” “The good news is so clouded with distorted noise.” Secularization How Evangelicalism appeals to people: End Times Prophecy, Marriage and Family Values, and Shocking Attention-Grabbing “Real life takes on the characteristics of the internet.” Wendall Berry: “You mistakenly think that the solution has to be at the same scale as the problem.” Can you give us some hope? “Hope that is seen is not hope. Instead, there's suffering that creates endurance. Endurance that creates character, character that creates hope, and hope does not put to shame.” Ezekiel and the valley of the dry bones What is the work of Christianity Today right now? Redefining who is “us.” Who is the “we” of Evangelicalism? “We simply want Jesus as revealed in scripture.” 2 Corinthians 4: “The glory of God reflected in the face of Jesus Christ.” Karl Barth and disillusionment during World War I: “We  we want to preach the gospel as though nothing has happened.” … “ He's saying the church is being co-opted and used by forces alien to it. And there have to be people who are free from that to actually appeal to the genuine gospel and to remind people that God is God.” How to cultivate freedom “One of the major challenges to a freedom is loss of attention.” “I have to be free from the constant whirl—and what he meant at the time was the radio, you know, which is nothing compared to what we have—because my attention is necessary for me to be able to serve and to give.” “Kingdom of God is like yeast.” Waiting, attention, and a longer view of time “How do you then hold onto this freedom that we're describing in a way of connected disconnectedness or disconnected connectedness or something?” Nicholas Carr: “Every person has to have an act of willful excommunication.” Revelation and the Book of Daniel: “Seal all this up for now. … Don't worry about it.” Nebuchadnezzar demanding  that. Shadrach, Mishak, and Abednego bow down and worship the golden statue. Evangelical Pastors: Preaching the Bible versus advocating a political vision Galatians 1 and 2—Paul's not yielding to false teachers in order to preserve the Gospel New Apostolic Reformation Christian Nationalism: “Bizarro Evangelicalism … i f you can get external conformity, then you have righteousness.” “Blood mysticism” Jonathan Rauch's Cross Purposes Keeping guard up in conversations with disagreement “Simply asking for Christians to be who we say we are.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Satanic and Masonic ritual abuse, governmental mind control, and organized abuse survivor, loving mother and devoted wife, survivor small group facilitator, homeschool extraordinaire, and a woman who walks and heals all things with the power of the Holy Spirit on her side: Kate In the tapestry of life, few threads are woven with as much resilience and grace as that of Kate, a woman whose story is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the human spirit. Born into a lineage steeped in the enigmatic traditions of Freemasonry, Kate's family tree bore the unmistakable emblem of the square and compass at its heart. On her father's side, her ancestry stretched back a millennium, the lineage tracing to the year 1000. Yet, the maternal branches of her heritage remained shrouded in mystery, save for the towering figure of her grandfather, a 33rd-degree Mason whose legacy loomed large.Kate's earliest memories flicker like candlelight - soft, fleeting glimpses of church pews and the presence of her grandmother, a woman of Christian devotion. It was this grandmother who, when Kate was just five years old, insisted that her mother take them to a Billy Graham crusade. There, amid the sea of souls, Kate encountered the gospel in its purest form - simple, clear, and radiant. In that moment, she surrendered her young heart to Jesus, unaware that this act of faith would become the cornerstone of her survival. For even then, Jesus was her unseen protector, cradling her through the darkest shadows of her childhood, shielding her from the horrors of abuse so profound that her mind mercifully veiled them in forgetfulness.That same year, as Kate stepped into the world of kindergarten at an elite private school, her life took a chilling turn. The institution, privy to her family's legacy and her ability to dissociate, singled her out to be entered into clandestine government mind control programs. What could have broken her instead forged a quiet strength, a resilience that would define her journey. Years later, after high school, Kate charted a path of service and healing, training first as a paramedic and then as a nurse. It was during this season that she met a gentle, steadfast man who would become her husband. For three decades, they have walked hand in hand, building a life rooted in love and unshaken by the storms of her past.Together, they welcomed two children into the world - precious souls who, like Kate, would face targeting by unseen forces. Determined to shield them from harm, Kate and her husband made a radical choice: they forsook daycare and embraced homeschooling, pouring their hearts into raising their children in a sanctuary of their own making. Today, as Kate reflects on the Luciferian agendas she believes permeate schools and academia, she feels a profound gratitude for that decision - a choice that preserved her children's spirits in a world she sees as increasingly treacherous.Now, Kate lives a life of quiet purpose, working part-time at a group home where she tends to adults scarred by ritual abuse and schizophrenia. Her days are a ministry of compassion, a reflection of the healing she has found in Jesus. Through divine orchestration, He has gathered around her a small, sacred circle of fifteen fellow survivors - kindred spirits with whom she shares daily prayers, scripture, and the tender exchange of their healing journeys. Together, they form a beacon of hope, lifting one another up with encouragement and faith.CONNECT WITH KATE: FB: https://www.facebook.com/llamafuzz.Support the show

Billy Graham once said that coaches affect more people in a year than anyone else in a lifetime. “The rest of that quote says, ‘so who's coaching the coaches? Who's pouring into our leaders?' notes Tommy Kyle, Exec. Dir. of Nations of Coaches. The ministry specializes in outreach to the world of college basketball. Volunteers work as Character Coaches, leading biblically-based teachings for staff and student athletes. “A round orange ball filled with air has allowed me to go all around the world and share Jesus.” Closer Look's Brent Adams reports.

It's good to be reminded of things, even when you already know them. Like taking out the trash - Caryn reminded me last night, and I still forgot. Spiritually speaking, I need those reminders too.Billy Graham once said, “God is calling me not to the playground but to the battleground.” And I need that reminder regularly, because salvation isn't just about being cleaned up - it's about being powered up.Jesus told His followers in Acts 1:8, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."That's the kind of power God puts in you through His Spirit. Not just to survive the battles, but to stand strong, share boldly, and love deeply. It's not about your strength. It's about His.

Billy Graham said, "The will of God will never take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us." As God's children, we will be guided, led and taught where to go and what to do. We will be equipped for the unexpected and we will teach others for how to live with expectancy. Grace says, "I will always love you. You can call Me and I will answer. You can look for Me in those dark and difficult times, and see that I never left your side."Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

Thirty years ago, David Remnick published “The Devil Problem,” a profile of the religion professor Elaine Pagels—a scholar of early Christianity who had also, improbably, become a best-selling author. Pagels's 1979 book, “The Gnostic Gospels,” was scholarly and rigorous, but also accessible and widely read. She changed how a lot of people thought about the Bible. Pagels went on to write “The Origin of Satan,” as well as works on Adam and Eve and the Book of Revelation. Pagels's upcoming book, “Miracles and Wonder: The Historical Mystery of Jesus,” is a summation of her lifetime of study, as it takes on some of the central historical controversies of Christianity, including the stories of immaculate conception and the resurrection. The daughter of a scientist, Pagels “was living in a world in which science defines what you can see, and there's nothing else.” Then, as a teen-ager, she was born again after seeing the evangelist Billy Graham preach. “This was about opening up the imagination,” she tells Remnick. “I did feel like the sky opened up.” Her time in the evangelical community was brief, but her fascination with belief never faded. “I have a sense that what we think of as the invisible world has deep realities to it that are quite unfathomable.”

Sharing our faith should be exciting to us. It is exciting. When we consider the free grace God gave us through His Son, telling others about Jesus should be on our priority list every day. For whatever reason, many find it very awkward to talk to others about Jesus. We can talk about just about anything else, though. That's why it's crucial that we look at sharing the Gospel as an intentional thing we do.  Intentionality is a great way to overcome our hesitancy, and let's be honest, sometimes fear keeps us from sharing. Truth is, each personality requires a customized approach to sharing about Jesus. Some are outgoing and others are shy. A blogger for God TV has written that he admired a friend who told every seatmate on every plane he'd been in about Jesus.The blogger went on to write that, “Even if my fellow passengers desperately wanted to know Christ, they likely couldn't even get my attention with a jackhammer drill or a pie in the face.” Kind of funny…and also kind of sad. Also very common. Matthew 16:24 says, “Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.'” So, if we're looking for ways to overcome our mediocre Gospel sharing, what can we do? Let's look at a few tips. The first is prayer. Get honest with God and tell Him you're not so great at evangelism. I mean, He already knows, anyway. Ask Him specifically to give you both opportunities and an intentional plan for communicating the best news anyone will ever hear.Two—plan, think ahead. Are you a person who's good at conversation? Go over a mental checklist that provides you with enough scripture and short sentences to make your pitch when the time comes. However, if you're not outgoing, maybe you're a writer. Consider communicating with a card to let the person know you're thinking about him or her. Play to your strengths, not your weaknesses. Number three, listen before you talk. How many times do we jump into a conversation or meeting without taking a breath? Train yourself to be quiet for a bit until you hear where the other person is coming from. You'll learn about your friend or acquaintance, and you can then think through the best way to approach them about the saving gift of Jesus. But also, don't just wait for your turn to talk. Hear them. Meet them where they are, and listen to the Holy Spirit to see how you can speak Jesus into that person's life.  Very few of us are Billy Graham. That doesn't mean we can't share the gospel. Somebody's depending on it. Let's pray.Father, whatever our personality and our experiences, give us a passion for loving unbelievers and caring about their well-being. The world is full of diversity. Help us embrace that. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Send us a textWhat happens when a one-handed tile expert with a powerful redemption story joins forces with a shed industry leader during a natural disaster? Something extraordinary.Jeremy Barker introduces himself as "the Billy Graham of tile," but his journey goes far deeper than his professional expertise. After losing his left hand at 23 in a tragic chop saw accident, Jeremy faced a choice: surrender to limitation or embrace a new path forward. Choosing the latter, he built a reputation as a premier educator and advocate in the tile industry, creating the Carolina Tile Posse and partnering with his wife in their company Bathmatic Custom Tile and Shower.But Jeremy's most profound battle wasn't with physical disability—it was with addiction. For over a decade, crystal meth controlled his life, keeping him from being present for his family despite maintaining financial stability. His October 2020 sobriety marked a turning point that would eventually position him perfectly for disaster relief work.When devastating floods hit their region, Jeremy and Sam found themselves drawn together by a shared conviction: everyone deserves help, regardless of their past or present circumstances. Their partnership has delivered over 600 emergency shelters to storm victims, often facing criticism from those who question whether people with troubled histories "deserve" assistance.The conversation takes us to Carson's Farm, where Jeremy established a base for building emergency housing, starting with modest goals before connecting with Sam's operation. Together, they've not only provided shelter but have confronted abuse, sex trafficking, and the exploitation that often follows disasters. Their work has virtually eliminated homelessness in communities where they've focused their efforts.This episode challenges listeners to reconsider who deserves second chances and reminds us that those who have experienced profound struggles often become the most effective advocates for others in crisis. Can someone with a troubled past become an instrument of hope? Jeremy and Sam answer with a resounding yes.Tune in next week for the conclusion of this powerful two-part conversation about redemption, purpose, and the transformative power of compassion in disaster's wake.For more information or to know more about the Shed Geek Podcast visit us at our website.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube at the handle @shedgeekpodcast.To be a guest on the Shed Geek Podcast visit our website and fill out the "Contact Us" form.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:Studio Sponsor: Union Grove LumberCardinal ManufacturingCardinal LeasingShed Challenger

George Verwer’s life changed dramatically when he became a follower of Christ during a Billy Graham crusade in 1957. Soon after his conversion, he began Operation Mobilization (OM), and in 1963 the mission sent 2,000 missionaries to Europe. OM went on to become one of the largest mission organizations of the twentieth century, sending out thousands each year. At the time of George’s death in 2023, the mission had more than three thousand workers from 134 countries working in 147 countries, and nearly 300 other mission agencies had been established as a result of contact with OM. Like the apostle Paul, George had a passion to bring people to saving faith in Christ. After Paul’s dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, he became a zealous missionary for the Lord, fervently following Jesus’ command to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). In his missionary journeys, he also trained Timothy and others to go out and do the same. Because of Paul’s Spirit-inspired writings, people throughout the centuries have been emboldened to share the gospel. He knew the vital importance of Jesus’ Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). That’s why, in Romans 12, he reminds us: “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord” (v. 11). When we have the Holy Spirit living inside us, He makes us zealous to tell others about Jesus.

En 1854, un niño enfermizo llamado Edward Kimball comenzó a enseñar en una escuela dominical. Un día, decidió hablarle a un joven vendedor de zapatos sobre Cristo. Ese joven era Dwight L. Moody, quien años después se convertiría en uno de los evangelistas más influyentes de la historia. Pero la historia no termina allí. Moody llevó a Cristo a F.B. Meyer, quien influyó en J. Wilbur Chapman, quien a su vez tocó la vida de Billy Sunday. Finalmente, Billy Sunday predicó y llevó a Cristo a un hombre llamado Mordecai Ham, quien en una cruzada evangelística alcanzó a Billy Graham, el evangelista más influyente del siglo XX. Lo que comenzó con un maestro de escuela dominical sin fama ni reconocimiento terminó impactando a millones de personas. Dios no mide la importancia por el tamaño de la plataforma, sino por la disposición del corazón. Tal vez sientes que lo que haces es pequeño e insignificante, pero nunca subestimes el impacto de un acto de obediencia. Dios usa lo que parece pequeño para grandes propósitos. La Biblia dice en Zacarías 4:10: “Porque los que menospreciaron el día de las pequeñeces se alegrarán…” (RV1960)

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our “Hands and Feet” weekly theme with a discussion about enduring, embracing, and testifying on the Lord’s deliverance through trials and tribulations. As followers of Christ, we should embrace trials and tribulations as part of our walk with the Lord and share our testimonies so others can see how He works. James 1 affirms this by saying to have joy during trials because the testing of our faith produces patience. Revelations 12:11 also confirms that the defeat of the enemy is done by the believers’ faith in Jesus, the believers’ willingness to sacrifice their lives for Jesus, and the power of their testimony. Our special guest, Dr. Hormoz Shariat, echoed this as he spoke about how many in Iran chose to live for Jesus. Dr. Shariat is the Founder and President of Iran Alive Ministries (IAM), a satellite broadcasting and internet platform that reaches Iranians with the gospel. He is also known as “the Billy Graham of Iran” and “the most influential Iranian American” by Christianity Today.
