Podcasts about Born again

In this Godcast, we'll dive into how the Great I AM set discipleship in motion—through love that walks, listens, serves, and gives. From the mountaintop prayers of Jesus to His tears at Lazarus' tomb, this episode shows that true love is never still; it's life carried forward by the Spirit's energeia! Every word, step, and breath of Jesus models the cadence of obedience we're called to follow. Tune in and hear what it means to move with the only true God—same life, same love, same Spirit, just flowing through different vessels, amen?God's word:Romans 12:2; Acts 17:28; Galatians 5:25; Deuteronomy 6; John 13:34–35; Romans 12:10; Galatians 5:13; Ephesians 4:2; 1 Thessalonians 3:12; 1 John 2:6; 1 Corinthians 13:7; James 1:19; Colossians 3:13; Hebrews 3:13; Galatians 6:1; Proverbs 27:6; Matthew 28:19–20; Genesis 1:3; John 11:43; Matthew 7:28–29; John 6:63; Luke 4:32; Mark 1:27; John 8:31–32; Hebrews 7:25; Mark 1:35; Luke 5:16; Luke 6:12; Matthew 26:39; John 17:1; Romans 8:26; Isaiah 53:4; John 16:33; Galatians 6:2; Romans 12:15; Psalm 34:18; John 6:44; Mark 2:17; 1 Corinthians 1:9; John 10:27; Romans 8:30; 1 Thessalonians 4:7; Matthew 11:28; Matthew 4:19; John 15:16; Luke 9:23; Psalm 29:4–5; Ezekiel 37; John 11:43; John 18:6; Revelation 1:15; Romans 10:17; Luke 6:47–48; Matthew 20:28; Philippians 2:8; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Luke 6:12; Mark 1:35; John 17:1; John 17:13; John 17:15; John 17:17; John 17:20–21; Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 2:13; Mark 2:1–12; John 9:1–12; Mark 5; Luke 8; John 11:1–44. Email: walkingtheway3@gmail.com

Welcome to Episode #187 of the Way of the Bible podcast. This is our third of eight episodes in our Twenty-Fourth mini-series entitled The Return of Jesus Christ [3]. On today's episode, we will continue expanding upon the greatest news for the church, the Great Snatching Away, harpazo/rapture, the resurrection/translation of the bride of Christ.We'll start with a quick context reminder and then hit our lesson for today, which will be the first half of 1 Corinthians 15. But before then, why the harpazo/rapio, the great snatching away? The reason for the great snatching away in the Bible is to remove the church from the world before God judges the world with great tribulations and wrath. We will address that near the end of this mini-series. The New Testament writers, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, clearly wanted the body of Christ to know that Jesus was coming back and to anticipate his return at any moment. The normal Christian life, as described in the epistles, is not sitting on one's hands in regard to one's faith life while playing with trinkets in the world, passing away the time to break the boredom of communing with God. The normal Christian life is to live your new life in the kingdom, a holy and righteous life of love for God and neighbor as we wait for our Savior, the bridegroom, to appear in the sky above to take us, his bride, home.John the Baptist spoke of the church and Jesus in John 3:29 – The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.In the New Testament, Jesus is the bridegroom, the church is the bride, and the Old Testament saints, including John the Baptist, are friends of the bridegroom. It says of the bride of Christ in Revelation 19:6-8 – Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. 8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God's holy people.)Jesus spoke to his disciples in the Upper Room discourse about his wedding preparations to bring home his bride. John 14:1-3 – “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2  My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.  We know that Jesus, our bridegroom, went away physically on the day of his ascension into heaven. Acts 1:10- They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”As Jesus went up in the ascension, so shall he return in like manner. We see that in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 – For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God.That catches us up on what we need to know for today's episode. We'll do some tying up of loose ends after our next episode, where we finish an overview of 1 Corinthians 15. And before we get to the first portion of 1 Corinthians 15 for today, let's put what Paul is about to address in context.

In the first ten verses of Ephesians 2 Paul talks about the amazing transformation from who we were before we met Jesus to who we are now with Jesus as our Lord and Savior.  Check out my blog, my other podcasts, my books, and so much more at http://linktr.ee/craigtowens  ►► Would you please prayerfully consider supporting this ministry?

Welcome to Episode #186 of the Way of the Bible podcast. This is our second of eight episodes in our Twenty-Fourth mini-series entitled The Return of Jesus Christ [3]. On today's episode, we will continue expanding upon the greatest news for the church, the Great Snatching Away, of the church before tribulation, the great tribulation and wrath, and the Day of the Lord.Before we get started today, I want to add some additional context to our discussion to avoid confusion. There are several views on the events and timing of the events mentioned in scripture about Jesus' return. The far majority of these views believe Jesus is going to bodily return. There is a view that his return will be merely spiritual; which we will not deal with here. But the other views regarding his bodily return, I must at least mention.The view of eschatology (view of the end times) I am presenting here is called the premillennial pretribulation rapture view. It is the view taught by Jesus in the gospels and the book of Revelation and by the apostles in their letters and epistles. It teaches that believers are "harpazo'd or raptured" to heaven before Israel signs an agreement with its neighbors that begins a seven-year period of intense persecution of the Jews and an outpouring of the wrath of God called the tribulation. This tribulation ends in great tribulation on the Day of the Lord, when Jesus will return bodily to the earth with all the church saints to judge all mankind on the earth and to establish a literal 1,000-year (millennial) reign. This view has as its foundation the method of biblical interpretation that views prophecies as still unfulfilled and to occur in the future.Our last episode we had an overview of the first phase of his return, which is aerial, for the purpose of snatching away the bride of Christ before the coming judgment of God. The judgment and wrath of God will be in tribulations, the great tribulation, and finally the Day of the Lord, when Jesus bodily returns in the second phase to save a remnant of Israel and judge the world in righteousness.  We spoke of how this first phase snatching away is not uncommon in the Scriptures, with two examples in the Old and five examples in the New Testament (Enoch, Elijah, Jesus, Philip, Paul, the body of Christ, and John). Paul says the Harpazo [Greek], the Rapio [Latin, from which we get Rapture] is a mystery. Are you unaware of this significant upcoming event in the church?We noted on our last episode the basis for the harpazo/rapture was established in John 3. In this chapter, Jesus noted a significant difference between those who believe and gain eternal life and those who do not believe and remain condemned already. In John 14, Jesus provides some important details of the harpozo and ties them in prophetically (via pattern fulfillment) with the Jewish wedding ceremony. Jesus is the bridegroom, the church is the bride, and John the Baptist and all Old Testament saints are friends of the bridegroom. (John 3:27-36, John 14:1-14) I mentioned last episode, and will continue emphasizing during this mini-series, that we have to understand with our heart, mind, and soul that heaven is a real place. A supernatural place beyond dimensionality where God dwells. We and all of creation and the cosmos with us, experience existence in a four-dimensional space-time reality. We observe and have been taught that our observations are fact: you live, you suffer, you die, and that's it. Entropy, time, and chance rule: everything is subject to corruption and decay.This teaching denies God, who is: Spirit, an unquenchable fire, who dwells in unapproachable light. Jesus, who is God in the person of the Son, came to earth to make a way for mankind to escape our enslavement to the devil in this four-dimensional prison of darkness, sin, and death. This escape is both for those who have died, now asleep in Christ and for us who believe.

Read Rom 5.20-21. God's grace (and free gift through Jesus Christ) covers a multitude of sins. So if we sin MORE, then we actually make the value of Jesus' sacrifice greater… so lets just go crazy. Nope - you're missing the entire point and here it is: Rom 6.2, “we are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?” - Paul is touching on the main point of the Chapter here, he will explain in more detail.Rom 6.3-4 - Baptism.Baptism is a picture, right? What does it picture? Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection.We go down into the water, which symbolizes Jesus' death and burial.We come up out of the water, which symbolizes Jesus' resurrection. Rom 6.5-7 - death to the old self.Jesus was killed and buried; in doing that, he became our spotless “passover lamb,” (“God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Cor 5.21). BUT THEN, God raised him from the dead, to be the “first fruits.” The resurrection of Christ is critical! Just as he was raised from the dead, so too will we be raised to eternity in heaven with the Lord. Rom 6.6 - old self was crucified with him? YOU ARE A NEW CREATION. BORN AGAIN!“The body ruled by sin is done away with” - we are no longer slaves to sin.Person testimony - My obsession with pornography started in 7th grade.Slave to sin verses:John 8.34, 2 Peter 2:19, Titus 3.3, Proverbs 5.22 and Ephesians 2.1-2. Satin wants you to stay locked in your chains. Rom 6.7 - Anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Think about that.Rom 6.8-11 - Christ died and was raised from the dead. He can not die again. So too, our old self has died, it's buried. Rom 6.12-14 - DO NOT LET SIN REIGN, DO NOT OFFER ANY PART OF YOURSELF TO SIN AS AN INSTRUMENT OF WICKEDNESS. As Christians, when we accept Christ and are baptized into a new life with him, our old self is reckoned dead. We are no longer going to hell; we have a new destination at our death, and sin no longer has its chains wrapped around us. But SO many of us voluntarily put those chains back on. Kill the old self, put him to death, and embrace the born-again you.Rom 7.14-25. You do not have to be perfect. I am not calling you to that, that's impossible. What I am calling you to do is to publicly declare the old self dead, and do the best you can to not allow that old sinful way of life to control your actions today. So, how did I break the chains that pornography had on me?1. I made a covenant with my wife, to tell her everything and be honest. 2. Rather than focusing on what I ought NOT to do, I focused on learning who God is.Discussion Questions:1. What does someone look like who is a slave to sin? How can you tell? 2. When in your life would you say you were a “slave to sin?”3. How has a person who has physically died been set free from sin?4. How can you, as a born-again believer, be an instrument of wickedness? What does that look like?5. What does it look like to offer yourselves to the Lord as an instrument of righteousness?6. What is a habitual sin that Christ crucified on the cross but you are allowing to still have power in your life? 7. Who has a testimony to share, of a victory over sin, that the Holy Spirit has helped you overcome?

Daily Dose of Hope October 6, 2025   Scripture - John 3:1-21   Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  We are so amazingly grateful for your grace and love.  Forgive us for the many times when we fall short, when we betray you, when we fail to be loving or faithful.  We want to grow stronger, Lord, but we can only do so through your power.  Lord, help us hear your voice.  In the next few moments of silence, Lord, hear our prayers... In Jesus' Name, Amen.   Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the daily Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida.  Currently, we are doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we begin a deep dive into John 3.   In today's text, we meet Nicodemus, who is a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish ruling council.  He is someone who is well-trained in Jewish law and tradition and held in high esteem in his community.  And he comes to see Jesus at night.  To me, it's interesting that the Scripture points this out.  Obviously, Nicodemus is intrigued by Jesus.  He has seen the miracles.  He has listened to Jesus' teaching.  He knows that Jesus knows God in some way, Nicodemus acknowledges that, but he is probably a bit leary of being connected with Jesus.  After all, what will the others think?   So we don't know if there is some pleasant chit chat between Jesus and Nicodemus, there may have been, but in the Scripture it seems that Jesus wastes no time --- he gets right to the point.  He says to Nicodemus, “no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless they are born again.”  Then, there is that interesting back and forth dialogue in which Nicodemus says, “well, how in the world can someone enter into their mother's womb a second time?”  And Jesus doesn't even respond to that, he says it again “Dude, you can't get into the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.  You must be born again!”   Now, Nicodemus would have probably thought that salvation was his because he was born a Jew.  He was one of the “chosen people.”  Or, he would have thought salvation was his because he knew a whole lot about the law, he had accumulated a lot of information about God, and he was trying hard to apply it.   And Jesus is pushing back against that.  He says you must be born again, Nicodemus.  Yes, Nicodemus, you were born a Jew in your first birth but that isn't enough for you to be saved, to enter God's Kingdom.  Yes, Nicodemus, you have lots of information about God, you may even be a really good person, you may attend synagogue, but that isn't enough either.  Jesus is saying to Nicodemus, you have to be spiritually reborn. Jesus knew that Nicodemus needed a change of his heart—a spiritual transformation that could only come from above.   The phrase “born again” can be translated “born from above.”    What Jesus was saying to Nicodemus:  Just as your mother gave physical birth to you, if you want to receive salvation and have eternal life, you need the Holy Spirit to give you a spiritual birth. Jesus says, flesh gives birth to flesh but only the Spirit can give birth to spirit.  This rebirth is when we go from being spiritually dead to spiritually alive in Jesus Christ.  And there is a certain mystery to it.  Just as the wind exists in the earthly, physical realm but there is mystery to where it is going and coming from; so there is the same mystery with the Holy Spirit and how he moves and works.  How can this be?  That was the question Nicodemus asked.  Yeah, how can this be?   Let's unpack this a bit more.  When we were born the first time, we were born inclined to sin, inclined to make bad choices.  Think about a toddler.  Why do we have to put safety plugs in all our electrical outlets?  Because no matter how many times we say no, our little ones defy us and they go straight for that outlet.  Because they don't know what's best for them.  Our natural inclination is to do what we want to do.   From the time of the fall in Genesis to right now, this very second, we as human beings are sinful, broken people.  Look at our world.  We miss the mark of God's full intention for our lives.  Even when we are generally good people, we are far from perfect.  We still do things wrong, we hurt people's feelings, we are self-absorbed, we are fearful, we are weak, you get the idea.  Just being a good person is not enough.    This is the thing - our sin, our brokenness, creates a barrier between us and God.  God is holy, totally without sin, and we are a hot mess.  If you are out there right now and you are like, “I'm not a hot mess.”  I will boldly say to you, “Yes, you are.”  We all are.  And we can't jump that barrier between us and God.  Nothing we can do will close that gap.  Nothing.  No striving to be good.  No racking up spiritual merit badges.  Not being born into a Christian family or having a really strong Christian mama.    God made a way for us to be right with him, to eliminate that barrier.  God himself made a way for us to walk closely with him.  You know God's solution to our sin ---- Jesus.  (Today's Scripture includes John 3:16 ---- For God so loved the world, that he…)   Jesus was God with flesh on.  He came voluntarily to demonstrate a different way of doing life AND then he went to the cross.  He died on that Roman cross, serving as the final, ultimate sacrifice for sin.  You see, when Jesus died on the cross, his blood atoned for our sins.  For all of our sins.  So, if we believe in him, turn away from our old way of doing life, then we receive salvation.  We are spiritually reborn.  BORN AGAIN by the Spirit.  Jesus did the work and the Holy Spirit applies the blood.    You see, when we believe in Jesus Christ, God no longer sees our sin and our mess, he only sees the blood of Jesus.  Not only does this ensure that we get to spend eternity with Jesus, we receive new life right now, today.  We become new people, new creations (2 cor. 5:17).  The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God himself, comes and dwells within us, changing us from the inside out.  Being born again means: 1-       Acknowledging your sin, turning away from your old life and turning toward God (repentance) 2-       Saying yes to Jesus!  3-       Being filled with the Holy Spirit.    Sometimes, we fail to talk about this last piece and it is so, so, so important.  BORN AGAIN by the Spirit.  It's the Spirit that allows us to take that first cry of faith, “Jesus, I need you.  Jesus, you are Lord.”  (2 Cor. 12:3 … no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.). Remember, when we say yes to Jesus, the Spirit of the living God indwells us.  And there is POWER is that!  Jesus sending the Holy Spirit was how he intended to make his presence in this world real and evident.  It's the Holy Spirit that let's us know when we have done something wrong, convicts us of sin.  It's the Holy Spirit that helps us hear the voice of God.  It's the Holy Spirit that makes our faith real and dynamic and alive.  The Holy Spirit gives us boldness to proclaim the Gospel.    You can't have the Spirit of the Living God in you and not be changed.  If someone is a Christian atheist, then I'm thinking they don't have the Holy Spirit in them.  Intellectually consenting to the existence of God, intellectually assenting to the existence of Jesus, being a good person, attending church --- none of those things indicate true salvation, being born again.  And we are kidding ourselves when we think that's going to be enough.  We, as the church, have failed people, by allowing them to skid by a Christian atheists (A Christian atheist is someone who sees themselves as a Christian but it doesn't affect their life in any way.)  Well, at least he is attending church sometimes.  Well, at least he is a good guy.  Y'all that isn't enough.    Going to church does not make someone a Christian. Being a good person does not make someone a Christian. Believing in God does not make someone a Christian.    Believing in Jesus, repenting of your sins, and being filled with the Holy Spirit is what makes someone a Christian.  Period.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Each year, thousands of people flock to the city of Nashville with hopes of “making it”. Ironically, it wasn't until Zach Russell made the decision to leave Music City, USA that he inked his first record deal with Thirty Tigers. The drive back home may have only been three hours long, but Russell's journey back to old haunts in Eastern Tennessee isn't quite that cut and dry.In the 7 years preceding that trip down I-40, there were stints as a manager at a shoe store and a karaoke host. He calloused his hands installing irrigation systems and working as a carpenter. He traveled the US and Europe as Tyler Childers' merchandise manager and got to witness firsthand what it takes to chase down greatness. Through it all, one thing that remained constant was his belief that he could chase it down as well.Music has always played a pivotal role in Russell's life. A background in Baptist and Hymnal music as a youth and a taste for hip-hop, rock, and country music informed his musical style between 2016 and 2020 as he found his footing. In 2021 the world received its proper introduction to Zach Russell as a fully formed artist with the release The Creek. This five-song EP proved not only to be a landmark release in Russell's career, but with its lyrical depth, soaring instrumental jams and infectious melodies, it served as proof that this landmark was merely the first of many to come.Since moving home and finding clarity, the past 18 months have been busy for Russell. He spent those months writing music, touring with The Alex Leach Band, and delivering a guest appearance on Adeem the Artist critically acclaimed album, White Trash Revelry. That wave of momentum has culminated to this moment, and the release of his highly anticipated full-length debut, Where the Flowers Meet the Dew.Once again joining forces with up-and-coming producer Kyle Crownover (Adeem the Artist), this ten-song effort never takes its foot off the gas pedal. Dominant themes of wrestling with mortality, pondering reincarnation, and finding that ever elusive feeling of contentment in this life weave gracefully through.As the old saying goes, “Big hitters take big swings.”, and Russell's choice as the first single is as bold a statement as can be made. Coming in at a shade over seven minutes long, “Born Again” begins as a rockabilly banger, then midway through, via a psychedelic segue it morphs into a funky, groove heavy jam. Russell sings of reincarnation and hints that perhaps every waking moment is, in fact, an opportunity to start anew.

Welcome to Episode #185 of the Way of the Bible podcast. This is our first of eight episodes in our Twenty-Fourth mini-series entitled The Return of Jesus Christ [3]. On today's episode, I will introduce the Great Snatching Away of the Church, the Harpazo [Greek], or Rapio [Latin]; aka the Rapture. A snatching away before tribulation, the great tribulation and wrath, and the Day of the Lord.The first mini-series of this trilogy primarily addressed Jesus' return to judge the world and establish his millennial kingdom. The second mini-series primarily addressed the role of Israel in the world today prophetically, in specific regard to the return of Jesus to end the trampling of Jerusalem by the Gentiles. This third and final mini-series addresses primarily the first of two phases of the Return of Jesus Christ.The first phase will be an aerial return of Jesus to snatch away his bride, the church, from before the coming judgment of God, which involves global tribulations and wrath. The second phase of Jesus' return will be physical on the Day of the Lord when he vanquishes his enemies with just a word from his mouth. We are going to focus on the first of these two phases: the aerial return for the taking away of the Bride of Christ.A snatching away is not unfamiliar in the scriptures. It was recorded twice in the Old Testament (Enoch and Elijah), and five times in the New (Jesus, Philip, Paul, the body of Christ, and John). This is perhaps the most exciting yet most misunderstood or most forgotten teaching in the Bible. And when you think of who is blinding the minds of unbelievers, it is not a mystery why this critical message of the Bible is ignored in the church even today.We have to understand with our heart and soul that heaven is a real place. A supernatural place beyond dimensionality where God dwells. We and all of creation of the cosmos with us, experience existence in a four-dimensional space-time reality. Where we observe, you live, you die, and that's it. We live in a world where entropy rules; where everything is subject to corruption and decay.Yet, recent scientific discoveries and theoretical calculations suggest that what we are experiencing is actually a projection from another dimension beyond the four we exist in. What the Bible is teaching is God has made a way from the beginning to get us from our captivity within these four-dimensional walls to the heaven of heavens, beyond dimensionality, where God himself resides. That's what we're going to talk about on this mini-series.The key-word for this concept in the Greek New Testament is Harpazo. In the Latin translation this Greek key word is translated Rapio from which we get the common term Rapture. This word is used many times in the New Testament. The two main uses are found in 1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 15, both of which we'll introduce on our next episode. Today, we're going to focus on some of the background for this coming event.The word harpazo in Greek is defined as: to seize, carry off by force, to snatch out or away. What we are going to be discussing during this mini-series is Jesus coming back aerially in the sky to snatch out of this world his bride, the church, before the wrath of God is unleashed on the earth in tribulations which eventually culminate in the great tribulation and the Day of the LordAs I've described in the past, the position I am presenting is commonly called the premillennial pretribulation return of Jesus Christ. It is the oldest view in the church. I encourage you to do your own research on this topic as we'll discover, knowing his return could be imminent makes a huge difference in how we view our lives today. And with that big word dropped, let's get started.

Over the last few months we have been focusing attention on the Spirit of God. We noted that in the Hebrew Scriptures, the Spirit of God is particularly seen in relation to creation, among Israel in the progression of her history, and with respect to Israel during the Messianic Kingdom.Then we turned our attention to what the New Testament Scriptures teach about the Spirit of God. First, we learned that the Spirit of God is a person. Second, we saw that, while there are angelic and human persons, the Spirit of God is a divine person. Then we looked at two ministries of the Spirit of God, the ministries of conviction, and of bearing witness of Messiah.In this message, we explore the Spirit of God's ministry of imparting life, eternal life. It is what is meant by being "born again" and "becoming a new creation" (John 3:3, 7; II Corinthians 5:17).This is also what is meant by regeneration (Titus 3:5). And the Spirit's ministry of regeneration comes to fruition by means of the word of God. Peter writes, "...since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God" (I Peter 1:23).James similarly states, "Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures" (James 1:18). The word of truth is of course a reference to the sacred Scripture that imparts life.YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/vECx3B9nQmwSend us a text

In this enlightening episode, Minister Gabriel Magaña delves into the profound concept of being "Born Again," exploring its spiritual significance and transformative power. Drawing from John 3, he discusses the necessity of a spiritual rebirth to enter God's kingdom, emphasizing that it's not just a physical act but a renewal of the heart and mind. Minister Magaña shares personal anecdotes and insights, encouraging listeners to embrace this new beginning and live a life dedicated to Christ. Join us as we explore what it truly means to be born again and how this journey can lead to a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with God.Minister Gabriel Magaña | September 23, 2025The Fountain Apostolic Churchone_ (2025)Learn more at tfachurch.com/plusChapters:00:00 Introduction and Gratitude01:06 The Role of a SUD Counselor03:30 Understanding the Pharisees10:10 The Life of a Pharisee17:28 The Concept of Being Born Again23:20 The New Birth Experience27:16 Raising Children in Faith28:42 The Importance of Wisdom and Communication29:14 The Concept of Being Born Again31:23 Positive Perspectives and Divine Protection34:09 Understanding the New Birth37:39 God's Promises and Our Expectations41:06 The Cost of Salvation and Living for God46:47 The Challenge of Spiritual Growth48:09 Building a Community of Faith50:58 The Role of Faith in Our Lives54:31 Vision for the Future and Community Growth

Today's Godcast drives home the simple truth: discipleship is not about labels or self-effort—it's supernaturally empowered by the Spirit of the only true God! Without His energeia, we're like lamps with no current, vessels with no movement, instruments without sound, that's the plain ol' truth! Jesus' Spirit IS the energeia that empowers His disciples to live, witness, and bear eternal fruit—from their own “Jerusalem” to the remotest part of the earth. Our calling is to shine as living testimonies, ambassadors of Jesus, bringing the Good News where the world only knows bad news. What is your witnessing saying, and where is your witness taking them?

Welcome to Episode #183 of the Way of the Bible podcast. This is our seventh of eight episodes in our Twenty-Third mini-series entitled The Return of Jesus Christ [2]. Today's episode, our seventh in this second mini-series on the Day of the Lord, will address the Regathering of Jews in Unbelief in Israel. A prelude to the tribulation, the great tribulation, and the Day of the Lord.There are four common views, theologically, regarding Israel's role in the world today, the return of Jesus, and the end of time. These views would be of no consequence if it were not for the fact that Israel was reestablished in 1948 as a sovereign nation-state in the global community. Israel has not been a sovereign nation-state since Babylon conquered the southern kingdom of Israel (Judah) and deported a remnant into captivity between 605 and 587 BC. The reconstitution of Israel over two millennia after it was obliterated is so unique that it should make us pause to wonder.I'll mention the four common views of the role of Israel in the world briefly and then discuss a less common fifth option that I adhere to. The first view is called replacement theology, in particular amillennialism, which does not see the nation of Israel to be of any consequence prophetically. In this view, Israel rejected their messiah and forfeited any rights and all privileges associated with former promises and covenants with God. In this view, Israel is just another of the rebellious nations in the world. The church has replaced Israel in prophetic history in regard to the promises and covenants. The nation of Israel today is just a random historical event.The second view believes the prophetic texts which say Israel will once again be a restored nation to God, but the current Israel is not it. The reason being, the far majority of Jews living in Israel are agnostic or secular in their beliefs of Judaism, with few who have faith in Jesus. This view believes there is a time coming when, prophetically, Israel will come to a final restoration with God in the land of promise through faith in Jesus.The third view believes Israel today is going to fulfill the prophetic texts of a final restoration with God in the land of promise. In this view, prophetic texts that speak of a divine tribulation and the wrath of God were fulfilled in the Holocaust of WWII. What we are seeing today in Israel are just the first stages of this final restoration.The fourth view believes there will be a series of tribulations and wrath of God against Israel, including the holocaust, that will prepare Israel for final restoration with God. The nation of Israel today, while a unique incident, may not be the final nation of Israel that God raises up for restoration of a remnant of Jews to God. The fifth view, which again is the one I hold, believes the current nation of Israel established in 1948, will experience tribulation and the wrath of God along with the rest of the world. What will end the great tribulation will be a remnant of Israel calling out to Jesus for redemption. This redemption will coincide with the judgment of the world and the restoration of the nation of Israel with God. King David, as the prince of Israel will rule over the Jews in the land, and the people of the surrounding nations. Jesus himself will rule the entire world from a temple on the world's highest mountain, just north of Jerusalem.The prophetic scriptures are clear and plain. First, there is going to be a regathering of Israel in unbelief back to the land in preparation to go through the great tribulation that is coming upon the whole earth. This will be a judgment of unbelief in Israel, along with the unbelief in the rest of the world. Again, this unbelief is in Jesus. 

Mr. Honest is back in Hell's Kitchen. This lean, no-filler breakdown of Daredevil Season 1 hits the big beats that made Marvel's street-level corner legendary: the confession booth thesis, the Episode 2 hallway fight, Fisk's brutal rise (and Vanessa's influence), Foggy's heartbreak, Karen's line in the sand, and the red-suit coronation. Along the way, Eric connects the dots to Born Again—without spoilers—and explains why Marvel Maniac is shifting to season deep-dives for quality over quantity. If you're binging the Netflix era for the first time or jumping in from Born Again, this recap will refresh the moments that matter and why they still hit. Plus: programming notes, future coverage teases, and a quick plug for Magic Muggle (Saturdays at 10 AM).

In this Godcast, Jesus' question pierces the heart and reminds us that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). And His question then; still applies today! Because His authority has not changed, His Spirit still empowers, and His mission still calls. As His disciples, we are chosen, equipped, and sent to carry His disciple making workmanship forward until our final breath. His authority is firm, His Spirit unstoppable, and His workmanship in us will always bear fruit, amen? I pray you are encouraged!  God's Word:Luke 6:46; Isaiah 29:13; Mark 7:6; 1 Samuel 16:7; Matthew 7:21; Matthew 7:28–29; Hebrews 13:8; Mark 1:34; Mark 2:10-12; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 6:4; Mark 1:40-42; Colossians 1:13-14; Romans 8:1; Mark 10:51–52; John 9:6–7; 2 Corinthians 4:6; Ephesians 4:6; Mark 4:39–41; Philippians 4:7; Mark 2:5–7; Psalm 103:12; John 8; 2 Corinthians 5:18; John 7:7; Philippians 2:9-11; John 6:63; Matthew 7:24; Matthew 24:35; John 12:48; John 17:17; John 12:46-47; Matthew 5-7; 1 John 3; John 14:12; Matthew 3:8; Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Psalm 51:4; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:10; Romans 8:29; Galatians 5:22–23; Colossians 1:10; Isaiah 64:8; Jeremiah 18; 1 Peter 1:7; Philippians 1:6; Galatians 2:20; Hebrews 12:10; John 15:16; Matthew 4:19; Luke 9:23; Mark 4:33–34; Matthew 18:4; Matthew 16:22-23; John 13:3–5; John 17; Luke 9; John 21:15–17; 1 Corinthians 3:6–7; Isaiah 64:8; John 17; Hebrews 11; Colossians 1:29-29; James 1:4; Colossians 1:15; Romans 8:29; Email: walkingtheway3@gmail.com

Welcome to Episode #182 of the Way of the Bible podcast. This is our sixth of eight episodes in our Twenty-Third mini-series entitled The Return of Jesus Christ [2]. Today's episode, our sixth in this second mini-series on the Day of the Lord, will address what Paul may have meant when he said in Romans 11:26, “All Israel Will Be Saved.”The salvation of “ALL” that is Israel is central to the return of Jesus Christ on the Day of the Lord. Let's look at the context of the statement by Paul from Romans 11:25-32 – I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, 26 and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. 27 And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” 28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, 29 for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable. 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God's mercy to you. 32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.In Romans 11, Paul is closing a can of worms of the doctrinal issue that has severely divided the Church since the Reformation. Paul began Chapter 9 expressing anguish over his own people, the Jews, who were rejecting the gospel of Jesus. He then went on from Chapter 9 through 11 to point out the reason for their rejection. In these three chapters, the Holy Spirit had Paul lay a clear doctrinal landmine that has been picked up by theologians of every generation who have used it in an attempt to blow up unity within the body of Christ. We are not going to look at that today.Paul made it clear at the opening of his letter to the Romans where the Jews stood in terms of the Gospel. Romans 1:16-17 –  For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.Here's the key before we go any further. All mankind is born into sin and death. All people, nations, tribes, languages, etc., Jew and Gentile alike stand condemned before God unless redeemed by the Lamb.The reason Jews and Gentiles alike are repulsed from each other is the dividing wall of hostility between us, which is the Law with its ordinances and regulations (See Eph 2:14-16). Let me see if I can summarize it such that I can continue without getting bogged down. This topic, by the way, is critical in understanding who we are in Christ and our relationship to the Father. But I digress. After the flood, when the nations rebelled at Babel, God chose one man from among the nations, Abram, and covenanted with him to give him a people, a land, and a seed who would bless all nations. The people were the descendants of Jacob, his grandson, whose name God changed to Israel.

Our guest is a regular visitor with us on various biblical matters. He's Bible teacher and pastor Joe Jacowitz. He's the president of First Love Ministries, and the pastor of Christ Bible Church in Pleasanton, CA. Our topic is a term that's widely used by Christians but a foreign concept to the secular hearer and even some church-goers. It's the term, “Born Again.”

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

1 Peter 1:22-2:8 Why do we doubt that people can really change? Born (Again) to Love When do our lives begin to change? Growing into Salvation How do we continue to change? Built to Worship Where does the change lead?

This Godcast takes you straight to the one foundation every disciple must build their life upon— It starts with Jesus, it ends with Jesus, and every breath in between belongs to Him—that's the plain ol' truth! Apart from Jesus, we are dead in sin, enslaved to darkness, and under wrath—but in Him we are reconciled, redeemed, and renewed! If you need encouragement today, then listen! Or, IF you know of someone that needs to hear the truth... THEN have them listen to The Truth about Jesus! What for? Because... at the end of the day, at the end of time, the only Name that matters is Jesus—and it's ALL about Him, in whom every eternal promise finds its “Yes” and “Amen,” now and forever! Amen?    God's Word:John 8:12; Col 1:15-23; Col 1:21; Eph 2:1-5; Titus 3:3; Rom 3:24; 2 Cor 5:17; Luke 9:1-6; 2 Tim 4:1-2; John 1:1; John 1:14; John 14:9; Heb 4:15; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Cor 15:3-4; Mark 1:14-15; Matt 22:37-40; Acts 1:9; Heb 1:3; Rom 8:34; 2 Cor 5:10; Rev 21:1-4; Matt 3:2; John 3:16; Luke 6:46; John 14:16-17; Matt 28:19-20; John 15:8; Matt 7; John 17:11; Heb 13:8; Matt 1:21; John 1:41; John 1:34; John 3:16; John 1:1; Titus 2:13; Matt 1:23; John 8:58; Ex 3:14; 1 Cor 2:8; Rev 1:8; 4:8; Luke 2:11; Job 19:25; Titus 2:14; John 14:6; John 1:29; John 10:11; John 10:9; John 6:35; John 15:1; John 4:10; John 11:25; 1 Tim 2:5; 1 John 2:1; Rev 19:16; Isa 9:6; 2 Timothy 4:8; Eph 5:23; Eph 2:20; Matt 9:15; Rev 19:7; Rev 22:13; Rev 1:17; John 1:1; Rev 19:13; Rev 3:14; Rev 22:16; John 8:12; Col 1:15; Matt 11:19; Heb 4:14; Heb 12:2; Rom 11:26; 1 Cor 10:4; Heb 6:19; Matt 7; 1 Peter 2:23; Heb 12:2; Matthew 16:15; 2 Cor 13:5; John 21:25; Email: walkingtheway3@gmail.com

Welcome to Episode #180 of the Way of the Bible podcast. This is our fourth of eight episodes in our Twenty-Third mini-series entitled The Return of Jesus Christ [2]. On today's episode, we'll return to the Old Testament passages and look at the period of time most written about in the Bible, the return of Jesus Christ to judge the world in righteousness on the Day of the Lord [4].As I introduced last episode, and really, throughout the history of this podcast, what we are chasing through the Scriptures is directly related to a matter-of-fact statement God made to the serpent when pronouncing a curse on him in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 3:15 – And I [God] will put enmity between you [the serpent] and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”The prophetic Scriptures tell of a day yet to come when Jesus, the offspring of the woman, will do away with the serpent who enslaves mankind to do his will because of their fear of death. Because Adam ate the forbidden fruit in defiance of God's command, sin entered the world and death through sin. In consequence, corruption to decay also came upon the entire created cosmos. Jesus Christ was sent by God the Father to bring salvation to all mankind, to be the judge of all mankind, and to reconcile all things in heaven and on earth back to himself (back to God). The most important passage to remember also contains the likely most recognizable verse. Listen carefully to John 3:16-18 – For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.Jesus did not bring universal salvation (everyone is saved and goes to heaven – universalism). He brought salvation to all who would believe. As verse 18 plainly states, “whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.” Jesus is returning to judge the world in righteousness (judge those who do not believe) and establish his kingdom of heaven on earth. We'll cover on a future episode soon the Harpazo', the snatching away of belivers, as we will not be here when the wrath of God is unleashed on the earth.A little bit more background before we get into today's readings and lesson. Why in 2025 do we give a rip about what is happening in Israel or about the Jews? Why not just let the region work it out? If it includes driving out and/or exterminating the Jews from the River to the Sea should we let it be so? Oh my friends, let us never consider such a thought, or support those who do. Pray, and I mean pray for Jerusalem and the people of God who live there and be blessed. Psalm 122:6-9 – Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure. 7 May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.” 8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.” 9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.In order to know what is happening today, we need to know our context to the whole. We are not merely living in a linear timeline, but is a space-time continuum that God sees from the end to the beginning. All things in creation are unfolding without error as described in his holy word. So let's get up to speed where we are, and why we need to focus on what is happening in Israel today!

Welcome to Episode #179 of the Way of the Bible podcast. This is our third of eight episodes in our Twenty-Third mini-series entitled The Return of Jesus Christ [2]. On today's episode, we'll look at New Testament passages that speak of the most written about time in the Bible, the return of Jesus Christ to judge the world in righteousness on the Day of the Lord [3].What we are chasing through the Scriptures is directly related to a matter-of-fact statement God made to the serpent when pronouncing a curse on him in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 3:15 –  And I [God] will put enmity between you [the serpent] and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”The prophetic Scriptures tell of a day yet to come when Jesus, the offspring of the woman, will do away with the serpent who enslaves mankind to do his will because of their fear of death. Because Adam ate the forbidden fruit in defiance of God's command, sin entered the world and death through sin. In consequence, corruption to decay also came upon the entire created cosmos. Paul, in speaking to his understudy – Timothy, describes the condition of those opposed to the gospel in 2 Timothy 2:26 – Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will. This is where I get “being taken captive to do the devil's will.”The writer of Hebrews speaks of mankinds enslavement to the devil in Hebrews 2:14-15 – Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.A coming global leader who will be the offspring of the devil will arise in the days ahead. He will charm and deceive the world and become it's leader. In jealousy and wrath he will order the peoples and nations of the world to conduct genocide on both Jews and Christians in the world at that time. He and an army he will be leading to attack Jerusalem will be destroyed in a moment by a word from Jesus' mouth on the Day of the Lord. The Day Jesus returns to judge the world in righteousness and redeem a remnant of Israel still in the land. 

It only seems natural to marvel at what we see created by humanity in this physical realm... works that have all been orchestrated by the only true God gifts of ingenuity, imagery, and design! And as amazing as they are... they fail to compare to the only true God's phenomenal supernatural spiritual workmanship in and through flawed, depraved, evil possessing finite creatures! The life change that makes an essence that was dead COME ALIVE! And that should bring total awe, amazement, and astonishment! As the Master Potter, God shapes Their clay into useful vessels of righteousness! The living hosts of Their divine eternal essence in YOU!

Welcome to Episode #178 of the Way of the Bible podcast. This is our second of eight episodes in our Twenty-Third mini-series entitled The Return of Jesus Christ [Part 2]. On today's episode, we'll continue our look at Old Testament passages that speak of the most written about time in the Bible, the return of Jesus Christ to judge the world in righteousness on the Day of the Lord.Before we get there, let's remember a couple of things. First, I am not here to convince anyone to believe the eschatological position I adhere to (view of the end times or the end of time). Based upon my own studies, I hold to a pretribulation and premillennial view, which ascribes to the aerial return of Jesus for the snatching away of His bride before the wrath of God is unleashed. I'll cover this in detail on later episodes.There are at least four and as many as six, alternative eschatological positions out there. Each having their own scriptural basis', historical applications, and theological understandings. Of all the positions, the one I hold is the oldest and now least held within Christendom today. You can think of my view as the remnant of eschatological entropy. I encourage you not to believe just because I say so, but to do your own research and see where the Scriptures lead. Hopefully, I'll give you an inkling of the many places to look for the answers, as there are answers. But there is also tension in the Bible, purposefully placed there by the Holy Spirit for His reasons yet disclosed.Here's the maxim to remember. Your epistemology (how you know what you know; your theory of learning), determines your hermeneutics (how you approach the Bible, Liberally-The Bible is interpreted metaphorically and allegorically; Or Conservatively-The Bible says what it means and is interpreted to mean what it says). Your hermeneutics determines your Eschatology (What happens at the end of all time – The end of the story). Your Eschatology determines your Ecclesiology (Role of the Church – the Body of Christ – in the world until the END).And it is within that maximal web that the dispersion of end-time views originates. And the beginning of the dispersion occurs immediately in the first three chapters of the Bible. The Creation account. Is this metaphorical, allegorical, a myth, or did it happen as the Scriptures insinuate? (Adam, the first man, is included in the genealogy of Jesus in Luke 3:38; Jesus quoted verses from Genesis 1 and 2, saying in Matthew 9:4-6 – “Haven't you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,' 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”).   All this to say that as I proceed, I am presenting text, believing God meant for the text to be understood to mean what it says; unless otherwise noted. God used man and the language of the day at the time the texts were written to communicate to us in 2025 what he wants us to know. God sees all things at the same time from the end to the beginning. Thus, He was able to give prophetic utterances by the Holy Spirit to the writers who were guided by the same Spirit to write what was given to them to write. My studies have convinced me that even the letters and spaces between the letters were all preordained by God and contain unphantonable treasures of wisdom and knowledge for those willing to look.  With that, let's jump into a few passages on the Day of the LORD. The first one is from Isaiah. I included it in an earlier episode, but it is one worth repeating. Listen as the extent of the destruction on this day. The scale is not just local but is global in scale. God is coming to judge the world and the sinners in it. The earth itself will wobble on its axis of rotation…

When we accepted Jesus, we were made a new creation, joining Him in His death and resurrection and establishing the reality that the dead can't sin. How are we now to perceive the world and navigate our faith journey with His perspective? Join us for a revelatory message shared by Bill Johnson. This sermon begins by discovering the difference between the milk and the meat of the Word and the intent of the two, and culminating in defining our divine identity. Who God says we are is foundational to the Christian faith and is fundamental to how we show up in the world. As you listen along, we encourage you to position your heart to receive and hear from the Holy Spirit who points us back to Jesus so that we look more like Him every day of our lives.

My fellow disciples… grace and peace.When I listened to the Godcast myself, my heart sank—the Godcast was incomplete, with parts inaudible. BUT GOD... made a way! I've upgraded to a Shure MV7+, so expect clearer sound—though I'm still learning it. I'll be bringing in the text to complete the message, trusting it now reaches not just your ears, but your heart and spirit as well! amen? This Godcast episode will explore the divine origin, power, and purpose of the Fruit of the Spirit in every disciple of Jesus' life! The episode emphasizes that the Fruit of the Spirit—LOVE...  And the fruit of love is God made and not human traits to be self-manufactured, but divine attributes supernaturally infused into one's innermost being by God the Holy Spirit that makes true disciples of Jesus. Love is the first fruit, and the Source from which all the other fruit flow. It's God's essence within us, and through love empowered by the Spirit, disciples live transformed lives, resist temptation, walk in forgiveness, and reflect Jesus to the world.God's Word:Ecclesiastes 3; Matthew 28; John 17; 1 Corinthians 5; Matthew 7; 1 John 4; 1 Corinthians 13:2; 1 John 4; Galatians 5; Galatians 5; Isaiah 50; Matthew 26; Isaiah 53; John 15; Hebrews 12; Philippians 2; John 3; 1 Peter 2; 1 Peter 4; John 14; 1 Corinthians 13:5; Luke 23:34; Hebrews 12:15; Matthew 6; Matthew 22; 1 Corinthians 16; 1 John 4:8; Matthew 7; Email: walkingtheway3@gmail.com

Welcome to Episode #177 of the Way of the Bible podcast. This is our first of eight episodes in our Twenty-Third mini-series entitled The Return of Jesus Christ. On today's episode, we'll begin our look at Old Testament passages that speak of the most written about time in the Bible, the return of Jesus Christ to judge the world in righteousness on the Day of the Lord.Central to our last miniseries, this miniseries, and at least one more mini-series on the topic of the Return of Jesus Christ, is the Harpazo, or snatching away, of the Church before the great tribulation that is coming upon the entire world. Not one nation, people group, or person will be untouched by the wrath of God to be unleashed upon the earth.Rest assured believers, we will not be there when the wrath of God is unleased, as the Bible clearly says in multiple places. And we'll go into that in detail in the weeks ahead, but not yet in this miniseries.We are still building the foundation, the bulk of which is found in the Old Testament. So let's get started.

The very nature of a fallen world is that organizations are in decline. But throughout Scripture—both Old Testament and New—God lifts up individuals and groups to be fresh pockets of greatness for His purposes. And He does this in the midst of broad decline. Join Kevin as we explore God's appointment of Christians to be a fresh pocket of greatness in their families, their workplaces, and their neighborhoods—and most importantly on behalf of His Kingdom! // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

Gary discusses the recent controversy with Chip and Joanna Gaines' new show and homosexuality. The Gaines are Christians and made the decision to have a homosexual couple on their show "Back to the Frontier" and have been receiving backlash online for it. Chip Gaines even went so far to defend the decision and chided Christians for their unwillingness to "learn."

Welcome to Episode #176 of Way of the Bible podcast. This is our eighth of eight episodes in our Twenty-Second mini-series entitled, The Return of Jesus Christ. On today's episode we'll be taking a walk on the beach with DrZ to overview our past seven episodes and comment on what we've learned on this first of several mini-series to address this topic.Today's walk is going to be a little different to those in that past, but not completely out of the ordinary. We will not be walking the beach this morning as the heat and anticipated crowds over the Fourth of July weekend opened the opportunity to consider different options.A friend of the podcast has a concierge service that caters to the rich and famous and not so famous yet equally well endowed. One of those clients is a Way of the Bible podcast listener. During the summer, he parks his Gulf Craft Majesty 140' yacht at the San Destin Warf and Marina. He's out of the country with his family for the next few weeks and asked if we'd like to use it for this week's walk. As so here we are…All this to say, in a moment we'll be joining thirty-plus people already gathered in the main deck salon and dining area. Everyone is ready to start and just awaiting our arrival, so here we go.
