Ride On… In this episode, we engage a listener question — is Lutheran teaching double predestination within his debate with Erasmus? How are we to understand arguments for the bound will, such as: "Man's will is like a beast standing between two riders. If God rides, it wills and goes where God wills… If Satan rides, it wills and goes where Satan wills. Nor may it choose to which rider it will run, or which it will seek; but the riders themselves fight to decide who shall have and hold it"? And so, we discuss God's will, divine necessity, predestination versus election, the preacher's vocation, the effects of free will theology on American churches, the scandal of arguing for a bound will in relation to Christ, and much, much more on this episode of the Banned Books podcast.

Elder Jason Bye The Apostolic Church Bartlett http://www.TAChurch.org

He does oral sex almost every time. Toys every time. Bondage, spanking, dirty talk — all things he pushed through because she wanted them. She agreed to reciprocate. She hasn't. Not once. So is he being selfish for wanting more? That's not quite the right question. The real question is what the word return reveals about what's actually been going on. Corey and Pam unpack the difference between genuine generosity and giving to get — why they look similar from the outside, why your spouse can always tell the difference, and what a ledger does to intimacy over time. Plus — what's her side of this? What does it mean that she said she would and didn't? And what would it take for both of them to stop keeping score? The post Quid Pro Quo #791 first appeared on Sexy Marriage Radio.

Many analysts believe we are in the early stages of a secular bear market in bonds. In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey talks about the possible ramifications of this bond bear market, arguing that it could not only fundamentally alter the investment landscape, but it could also hamstring the Fed's efforts to fight price inflation.  This scenario could cause a significant shakeup in the world economy and financial system.  It's also extremely bullish for precious metals. 

Are Old Rules Blocking Your Money, Freedom & Divine Guidance? You may say you want freedom, money, purpose and a life that actually feels like you — but what if old rules, religious dogma, family expectations, cultural conditioning and fear are still quietly choosing your life for you? In this SpiritSpeaks Experience, Rosemary Nonny Knight shares a Divine Download about why freedom is an active choice, why ambitious spiritual people often filter Divine guidance through old programming, and why the life you keep calling “practical” may be the very thing keeping you from manifesting the money and resources you need to live luxuriously in your purpose. This is for ambitious spiritual people who are ready to stop living by inherited limitations and start choosing a free, fulfilled, financially abundant, love-drenched life. In this video, we explore: * Why freedom has to be chosen moment by moment, especially when old rules, fear and other people's expectations still feel “normal.” * How hidden beliefs about money, responsibility, spirituality and purpose may be blocking the abundance and freedom you say you want. * Why Divine guidance can become distorted when you are listening through guilt, fear, dogma, tradition or the need to be accepted.

Freedom is one of the greatest gifts Christ has given to believers, yet many Christians misunderstand what that freedom means. Some believe they must earn God's favor through religious works, while others think grace gives them permission to live however they choose. Neither is the Gospel. In this episode of ScriptureLinks Daily Dose of Inspiration, we continue our No Other Gospel series by exploring what true freedom in Christ looks like. Through Galatians, Romans, and 1 Peter, we'll see that Jesus has set us free from the penalty and power of sin—not so we can return to slavery, but so we can live holy lives that glorify Him.

Watching your girl battle anxiety, mental health challenges, or spiritual struggles can leave you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure of what to do next. Many Christian parents carry the weight in silence, believing they should be able to "fix it" on their own. In this encouraging episode, Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden remind parents that they were never meant to walk these difficult seasons alone—and that prayer is one of the greatest gifts God has given them in the journey.  As the conversation continues this week's series on mental health and spiritual bondage, Rachael vulnerably shares her family's experience navigating her son's anxiety, while Melissa offers Biblical encouragement for parents facing fear, shame, or uncertainty. Together, they explore how the enemy often uses isolation to keep families from seeking help, while God continually invites His people into community, prayer, and dependence on His power.  You'll also hear a hope-filled Raising Godly Girls Minute from AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay, reminding parents to distinguish between the voice of the enemy—which produces fear, shame, and anxiety—and the voice of the Good Shepherd, who faithfully leads His children in truth and peace.  Whether your daughter is facing a current struggle or you simply want to strengthen your own prayer life before difficult days come, this episode offers practical encouragement to pray boldly, trust God's authority, persevere faithfully, and lean into the support of your Christian community. You are not alone, and your prayers matter.    Three Things to Consider:  Don't allow fear or shame to isolate you. God often provides encouragement, wisdom, and practical help through the body of Christ.  Pray boldly, believing that God is able to accomplish far more than what seems possible. His authority is greater than any struggle your daughter may face.  Remain steadfast in prayer. Whether healing comes quickly or unfolds over time, continue entrusting your daughter to the Lord and inviting others to pray alongside you.    Scriptures Referenced:  Titus 1:2  John 10:27  Matthew 6:10  Mark 9:14–29  1 Thessalonians 5:17    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.     Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.  

Stand firm. Christ has set you free!

We may not feel like a slave to anyone, however when we commit sin we become a slave to sin. We need to take rule over sin. Through the Spirit, being led by and renewed in the Spirit daily, we car experience liberty.

Because of the promise of our eternal inheritance, those who are saved should have a different attitude toward the things of this world. The sin and the corruption that comes from it causes real suffering and Christians do not escape that suffering. They also suffer because the world hates them, just as it hated Christ. But through faith, we can see the suffering at this present time as something that is worth it because of what God is doing in as and what He has promised to us. We don't think of the creation having desires, but even the whole of creation is has expectation for when Christ will return and the sons of God, those who are adopted by Him, are revealed. When the firstfruits of creation are revealed is when creation will be renewed. The futility that it was made subject to through the sin of man and the corruption in it will be removed and creation itself will enter into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Alma the younger was a wicked idolatrous man, a great hindrance to the church going about secretly, flattering away the hearts of the people unto dissension. In our day, wicked miserable men publicly flatter away the hearts of the people who could otherwise be born of God if they would awake, arise, repent and be healed. How will the wise virgins stand in holy places and be not moved? Come, listen, closer to the spiritual rebirth of Alma the Younger found in Mosiah 27 and Alma 36.  Come and learn the Doctrine of Christ.  TheRedemptionOfZion.org 

Do you feel like you have to earn God's love and acceptance? Pastor Jeff Schreve exposes the exhausting trap of legalism and contrasts it with the life-changing grace found only in Jesus Christ. Through biblical truth, practical illustrations, and heartfelt encouragement, this episode will help you stop striving and start walking confidently in the grace of God.

Episode Summary: Have you ever noticed how free you feel when no one’s telling you what to do? Or maybe you wake up in the morning with an appointment free day. The day lays before you and you can do anything you want. I love a day without any expectations in it. I make all these plans to paint or play the piano or read a good book, but then I open YouTube and before I know it, my day of freedom turned into a slog of senseless videos. My day of freedom no longer feels free. The lure of endless entertainment trapped me, and I felt guilty for getting stuck. This lack of freedom shows up in other places like faith, relationships, or even creativity. We want freedom but end up experiencing more pressure and regret. In recognition of Independence Day in the United States, today we’re going to be talking about How to Find True Freedom in Christ. Quotables from the episode: Think about all the ways we save time—we can start our ovens from our smartphones, our fridges send us notifications when we need to replace a filter, and we can set our washing machine apps to send a message to someone to change the loads. These modern features save us time, which technically, gives us more freedom to do other things. But we find ourselves entrapped by our devices. We say we want freedom but end up more stuck. One of the reasons so many Christians love the idea of freedom in Christ, but don’t feel free, is because they struggle with the split-life problem. We live in two realities which are the spiritual reality and the worldly reality. Or an easier way to describe it is we have a church life and an everyday life. Sermons, bible studies, devotions talk about true freedom found in Christ. We talk about sin as the worst form of slavery and Jesus sets us free from it in church. Then, there’s the “rest” of our lives where we look for freedom in self-expression, creativity, free speech, liberation from traditions and societal constraints. We want more stuff and less rules. This kind of freedom avoids commitment and wants as many choices as possible. Modern culture defines freedom as absence of restraint. Freedom in Christ is becoming who Christ intends for us to be. It’s when we make freedom a reason for self-indulgence that we become enslaved to making us the main character of our life instead of God. We are to be in the world and not of the world, but when we separate our church life and everyday life, we suffer the impact of allowing self-indulgence to shape how we read Scripture. That looks like reading Scripture and saying, “God doesn’t really mean that applies to me.” For example, Hebrews 12:1 says, Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” It’s easy to find the sin that entangles someone else’s life but excuse it away when we see it in our own life. By nature, we are proud people and don’t like to have our weaknesses highlighted or the struggles we may have. Allowing sin that entangles to stay in our lives doesn’t have to be dramatic rebellion, it can be something small we justify like self-sufficiency instead of complete dependence on God. We experience false freedom when we have spiritual liberation without spiritual transformation. People can receive spiritual freedom through the forgiveness Jesus bought with his blood called justification. Many people think that’s all there is to it, but there’s a transformation over time that happens in a life completely surrendered to God. This is called sanctification. Think of it as justification is the door and sanctification is learning how to live once you walk through the door. And many people who believe in Christ stop at the door. John 8:32 says, “then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” And Romans 6:4 tells us there’s more to do, “We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” We are set free to live a new life. It’s an ongoing, daily journey. And it’s when we reject the ongoing work of transformation that freedom can feel like a fancy theory instead of daily reality. We want to shift our attention to what Jesus actually means when he says we are free. Jesus sets us free from the power of sin and from the effects of sin on our daily lives. A common mistake we make regarding understanding freedom is misunderstanding what it means to belong to Christ. The Apostle Paul referred to himself as a bondservant in Romans 12:1. This introduced the concept of belonging and ownership. The Greek word for bondservant is doulos. This belonging to God does not mean we are a servant expecting a wage. Receiving a wage is a transaction between employer and employee. Work for rewards. When Paul calls himself a bondservant, he indicates that we are not hired by God; we belong to him. The Christian has nothing to offer the Lord in payment for forgiveness, which means a Christian is totally owned by the Master who bought him with His shed blood on the cross. We are purchased by him and we belong to him. Romans 6:16-18, “Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.” The word slave feels heavy so let’s talk about why Scripture uses it. Romans clearly states that everyone belongs to something. Bondage to sin leads to death. But bondage to Christ leads to life, inheritance, and adoption. Galatians 5:24-25 says, “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” The biggest struggle I’ve had with experiencing daily freedom is when I’ve resisted letting go of an old habit, identity, or area of control. It’s often been tied to a loss of self, pleasure, or autonomy. When I gave my “leftovers” to my little family and God clearly said they needed my best self. For a time, he called me to lay down my volunteering in the church (I was involved in every area) so I could focus on my littles. I resisted because I didn’t want to lose myself in motherhood, but I underestimated what I gained. I learned that God knows what’s best and he used that time to make me a more well-rounded woman of God. To belong to Christ is not oppressive, but freedom. Jesus set us free from the law of sin and death. Our “bondage” to Christ makes us sons and heirs of the Most High God. As heirs, we partake in that inheritance—eternal life. Everyone is in bondage to either sin and death or Jesus and eternal life. We rebel and refuse to obey him by clinging to our old lives rather than embracing our new life in Christ. First, identify what or who you’re obeying. Are you obeying sin, self, or your Savior? It could be a sinful thought or behavior that pulls you away from freedom in Christ. Self-care can slide into self-obsession if we’re not careful. Or are we walking in step with Jesus? Second, implement the put off/put on practice. Ephesians 4:22-23 tells us to put off our old way of living which was corrupted by deceitful desires and to be made new in the attitude of your minds. Third, replace habits. Replacing habits happens when we set our hearts and mind on seeking Jesus Christ. Develop the habits of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and love. Fourth, live from identity and not effort. “…for we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.” (Romans 6:6-7). Freedom isn’t doing whatever you want. It’s about surrendering control of every part of your life such as what you say and how you say it. Or what we watch. It’s also about being aware of your thoughts and bringing them in line with what honors God and brings him glory. Freedom is becoming who you were redeemed to be. A child of God living a righteous life. Scripture References: Galatians 5:1 “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” John 8:32 “then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Romans 6:4 “We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Romans 6:16-18 “Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.” Galatians 5:24-25 “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” Romans 6:6-7 “for we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.” Recommended Resources: Reframing Rejection: How Looking Through a Different Lens Changes Everything By Jessica Van Roekel Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety’s Grip Free Study Guide Free PDF Resource: How to Fight Fearful/Anxious Thoughts and Win Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor’s Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Free Webinar: Help for When You’re Feeling Blue Social Media Links for Host and Guest: Connect with Rev.

In this episode Adam, Brett, and Jason being a series on the background of The Bondage of the Will by discussing the historical context of the debate between Luther and Erasmus.  Click here to purchase a copy of the edition that we are using.

In this episode we are joined by Reformanda Initiative Fellow Robbie Bellis to discuss his contribution to the 2026 Rome Scholars and Leaders Network (RSLN). HIs paper titled, “The Essential Issue: Luther's Bondage of the Will and Roman Catholic Soteriology” explores the 16th-century debate between Erasmus and Luther that focused on the human will and its natural capacities. Erasmus argued for the freedom of the will, while Luther argued for the bondage of the will. At the heart of this debate is the gospel itself. To understand the bondage of the will is to understand the theology at the heart of the Reformation. It remains relevant today, especially as evangelicals engage with their Roman Catholic friends.Support the show

Welcome to Week 5 of our Exodus series as Pastor Josh shares a message titled Freedom From Bondage. Bondage doesn't always look like chains. Sometimes it appears as fear, addiction, shame, unhealthy relationships, destructive habits, or thought patterns that keep us from experiencing the life God intended for us. In this message, we discover that while God can bring us out of bondage in a moment, He also desires to lead us into a life of lasting freedom. Through biblical truth and practical application, Pastor Josh challenges us to identify the areas where we may still be living captive and invites us to embrace the freedom Christ purchased for us. No matter what you're facing, God's desire is not simply to deliver you from bondage but to walk with you into a future marked by healing, restoration, and freedom. If this message resonates with you and you're looking for support on your journey toward freedom, we encourage you to connect with these trusted local recovery ministries: • Project Hope Recovery Center • Saving Grace Women's Home Freedom is possible, and you don't have to walk the journey alone.
