The realm of glory and faith. Aggressive faith refuses what God has not promised and brings you into the glory with eyes to see! Faith gets rid of doubt and double-mindedness. Moses, even after all of his experiences with the Lord in glory, still said in Exodus 33:18 “Show me Your glory.” What was the Lord's response, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you.” Exodus 33:19 His goodness is His glory. There are degrees of manifestation- degrees of the awareness of God's glory. A walk of aggressive faith opens you up to experiencing the realm of glory, where passive faith never will.

When you hear the word “Israel” what comes to mind? Stories from the Old Testament? The Holy Land? Maybe the current conflict in the Middle East? Does God still have a plan to save Israel? This is the question we will be tackling on Sunday morning from Romans 11:25-36. Then at night I invite you back at 6 PM when I will be teaching about Israel, Palestine and our Church followed by a Q & A. May you come with hearts full of praise for the God of Israel and both your minds and Bibles open to what the Lord wants to teach us.

Peter Bernhardt takes us back in time to the trial as told by Brenda Wineapple in her book Keeping the Faith – God, Democracy and the trial that riveted a nation.

We announce a great victory from the Arkansas courts blocking the state from displaying the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom. After reporting state/church news in California, West Virginia, Iowa and West Point Military Academy, we hear the Tom Lehrer song "I Got it from Agnes" and the "1919 Influenza Blues" by Essie Ray Jenkins. Then, we listen to the talk given at the Scopes Trial Centennial last month by Brenda Wineapple, author of Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial that Riveted a Nation.

God could have written the gospel in the sky, or later in our times, sent us all a text about His love for the world by giving us His Son to die for us. Instead, God tasked us with the responsibility to proclaim Christ to others. This is what we will be learning this holiday weekend as Pastor Jason unpacks Romans 10:5-21. Praying and serving the lost is important and needed but let's not forget to tell others about Jesus and His offer of salvation.

The Scopes ""Monkey"" Trial was set against the backdrop of the roaring twenties, a time of both cultural upheaval and deep social tensions. While ostensibly about science versus religion, the trial became a proxy for larger conflicts over academic freedom, individual rights, and the very nature of American democracy. And the trial's impact extended far beyond its verdict, influencing debates about education, faith, and freedom that continue to resonate today. In this episode, Lindsay is joined by Brenda Wineapple, author of the national bestseller Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, And The Trial That Riveted A Nation. Together, they explore how the trial, sometimes called a ""victorious defeat"", remains relevant 100 years later.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Looking at those who had faith that could move mountains

July 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Trial – a trial that exposed profound divisions in America over religion, education, and public morality. This was a legal case in Dayton, Tennessee, where high school teacher John Scopes was prosecuted for teaching evolution, violating the state's Butler Act. The Butler Act was a 1925 Tennessee law that prohibited public school teachers from teaching any theory that denied the biblical account of human creation, specifically targeting the teaching of evolution. But believe it or not, this entire trial was orchestrated. Local leaders had the teacher volunteer to be charged as a publicity stunt to boost the town's economy and gain national attention. But it soon gained far more attention than anyone expected, as it touch a nerve on the national clash between an increasingly secular scientific establishment and religious fundamentalists. Battle lines were drawn in the courtroom. Clarence Darrow, a renowned agnostic lawyer and advocate for civil liberties, defended Scopes, while William Jennings Bryan, a prominent Christian populist, three-time presidential candidate, and anti-evolution crusader, prosecuted, highlighting their contrasting worldviews. The trial became a media sensation due to its clash of science versus religion, drawing hundreds of reporters, radio broadcasts, and public fascination with the dramatic courtroom exchanges, particularly Darrow’s cross-examination of Bryan. To discuss the legacy of the case is today’s guest, Brenda Wineapple, author of “Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial that Riveted America.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week marks the 100th anniversary of the conclusion of The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes.In "Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial That Riveted a Nation," acclaimed historian Brenda Wineapple revisits the Scopes “Monkey” Trial of 1925 - not just as a courtroom clash over evolution, but as a defining moment in the struggle between religious belief, scientific inquiry, and democratic ideals in America.

In July 1925, the Scopes “Monkey” Trial captivated the nation. On its face, the case was relatively straightforward: A Tennessee biology teacher named John Scopes was accused of teaching human evolution to his students. At the time, that was against state law. Both sides enlisted the help of big name lawyers to represent them, and the case turned into a national spectacle. But, why has the legacy of the case persisted? And what can it help us understand about our current moment?Host Ira Flatow talks with Brenda Wineapple, author of Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial that Riveted a Nation.

[Hebrews 11:6] And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. Faith ____________ God, and God honors faith. [Luke 17:5-6] The apostles said to the Lord, “Show us how to increase our faith.” [6] The Lord answered, “If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘May you be uprooted and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you! The ___________ of our faith doesn't matter as much as the _________________ of our faith. [2 Corinthians 5:7 CSB] For we walk by faith, not by sight. You need to ____________ the faith that you already have! [Romans 10:17] So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ. [Matthew 21:18-22] In the morning, as Jesus was returning to Jerusalem, he was hungry, [19] and he noticed a fig tree beside the road. He went over to see if there were any figs, but there were only leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” And immediately the fig tree withered up. [20] The disciples were amazed when they saw this and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” [21] Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don't doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and it will happen. [22] You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.” Jesus said to ____________ to the mountains that you face. Faith is a ________________ of relationship. The more you __________ Jesus the more you'll _________ Him. [John 15:7] But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! The more faith you put in God, the more you discover His _________________. [Isaiah 40:31a] But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. God has ___________ strength available for you. [Mark 9:23-24] “What do you mean, ‘If I can'?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.” [24] The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”

July 10 marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the Scopes Trial, which centered on the ability to teach the theory of evolution in public schools. We reflect on the legacy of this monumental case and its relevance today, with Brenda Wineapple, author of the book Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial That Riveted a Nation.

There's something beautiful about the way a child reaches up for you, completely trusting that you'll hold them. No hesitation, no doubt – just pure faith that you'll hold on tight and not let go.I think that's a picture of how God loves us. When we reach up for Him, He's already reaching down to hold us, and His grip never fails. Our security isn't in our strength, but in His unbreakable love.

When life seems uncertain, God's promises remain steadfast. Dr. John reflects on the challenges Abraham faced when sending Hagar and Ishmael into the wilderness, and how God's faithfulness to His covenant with Abraham and Abimelech reveals the unchanging nature of God's promises, even in the toughest moments. Abraham's trust in God's eternal plan serves as a reminder that, despite life's difficulties, God is always at work behind the scenes.Confident Faith: In this 4-week series on Genesis 18-25, Dr. John Neufeld looks at the life of Abraham and unpacks the topic of faith. How is faith formed? How does faith mature? And how can faith help us trust in what God has promised, even though we can't see it yet.

Conclude your listen with a heartfelt prayer for strength and guidance, encouraging you to carry faith and positivity throughout your day. Tune in to embrace the message that today is a divine gift, crafted for you to cherish and flourish.

Is your name in the Book of Life?  Only faith in Christ places itthere.

Abraham's plea for Sodom and Gomorrah teaches us powerful lessons about God's justice and mercy. As Dr. John unpacks this passage, we see how Abraham's bargaining reveals God's heart for the righteous and His determination to treat them differently from the wicked. Through this prayer, we learn how to intercede for the nations, understanding God's mind and praying with passion for His people.Confident Faith: In this 4-week series on Genesis 18-25, Dr. John Neufeld looks at the life of Abraham and unpacks the topic of faith. How is faith formed? How does faith mature? And how can faith help us trust in what God has promised, even though we can't see it yet?

Darrow, a brilliant and controversial lawyer, said in his electrifying defense of Scopes that people should be free to think, worship, and learn. William Jennings Bryan, three-time Democratic nominee for president, argued for the prosecution that evolution undermined the fundamental, literal truth of the Bible and created a society without morals, meaning, and hope. In Keeping the Faith, Wineapple takes us into the early years of the twentieth century—years of racism, intolerance, and world war—to illuminate, through this pivotal legal showdown, a seismic period in American history. At its heart, the Scopes trial dramatized conflicts over many of the fundamental values that define America, and that continue to divide Americans today. 1925 Darrow in Dayton
