Episode Summary. There seems to be widespread agreement that Jonathan Roumie’s portrayal of Jesus in Dallas Jenkins’, The Chosen, is remarkably well done. As someone has said, “If you’re aiming to make a TV show about the life of Jesus, you better cast the right person for the lead role.” There is something deep, personal, and even perhaps threatening to us in the way Jesus is portrayed by anyone. A wrong portrayal messes with our perception of the one we have devoted our lives to. That is why this 3-week podcast series seeks to shake the dust off any mistaken Sunday-school-ideas we might have ..read more

Episode Summary.   What some say is the biggest medical scandal of our times was exposed last month when whistle blowers released internal files from the self-appointed, “experts” on transgender health, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) proving that WPATH’s “transgender medicine guidelines” had no basis in actual science and violated the most basic medical guidelines for patient care. This episode explains what happened so that we can be better equipped to discredit the gender affirming care medical policy, which is destroying the lives of preteen and teens ..read more

Episode Summary. If you noticed the title of this week’s episode, you may be wondering, “What in the world is a resurrection worldview and why does it matter?” It turns out not only that a resurrection worldview is an essential biblical concept for Christians; it is the foundation for the three specific truths that Paul repeatedly asks for God to help the Ephesian Christians grasp. This episode examines these three life-changing PERSPECTIVES.   For Further Prayerful Thought: Why do the biblical writers care so much about our mind being transformed to having a biblical perspective? How d ..read more

Episode Summary. When faced with the sight of millions of men, women, and children from war-torn lands seeking to escape tyranny to have better life, most Christians will voice their approval for open door policies of inclusion, hospitality, diversity and welcome. After all Jesus, did teach that true believers will hear from Jesus, “I was a STRANGER and you WELCOMED me.” Doesn’t this settle the issue—All Christians must be welcoming to immigrants who want to come into our country. Actually, no. This understanding of immigration is so flawed that it misses the most significant biblical text abo ..read more

Episode Summary. This is the third episode in our March series, Worldviews Leading Our Loved Ones Astray. It begins with the reminder that faithful Christians don’t isolate themselves from cultural issues but fervently seek to raise their light of truth in the spheres around them, that God has commanded them to influence. We examine the argument that abortion is a reproductive right of a woman, noting, at the outset, that no woman has an absolute right over her body. She cannot put her hands around her toddlers’ neck and strangle him to death. My right to my own body is limited by law; doing s ..read more

Episode Summary. This is the second episode in our March series, Worldviews Leading Our Loved Ones Astray. It makes the argument that the accusation that biblical patriarchy breeds toxic masculinity is a complete fiction by refuting two of the foundational worldviews that underlie this accusation—egalitarianism and critical theory. It then further refutes the claim with old-fashioned evidence. For Further Prayerful Thought:  What would you say to another Christian and told you that you needed to understand that the NT does away with riles and says there is no longer any male or female ..read more

Episode Summary. This is the first episode in our March series, Worldviews Leading Our Loved Ones Astray. We begin by noting that many of the rising generation are rejecting the Christianity they grew up with because what the Bible says about homosexuality seems so outdated and unfair to them. This episode seeks to recover the teaching that all Christians must treat those in the LGBTQ+ life with compassion and dignity, yet not allow ourselves to over-empathize with this group and abandon the truth of Scripture as many are doing. This episode explains the background behind, 1) those who claim t ..read more

Episode Summary. This episode acknowledges that those whose loud voices proclaim that the Bible promotes oppressive patriarchy would be horrified to read its title: Her Heart Needs Your Spiritual Leadership. But wise Christians understand both the horrible abuse of women by men and the fact that the cause is not God’s design structure for the home, but men’s sinful nature. The truth is that every woman’s heart is designed to be fulfilled by her husband leading their home and family well. This episode examines what this glorious design of male leadership in the home looks like, recognizing that ..read more

Episode Summary. Instead of hearing refreshing words of praise and appreciation from their husbands, countless wives endure each day with parched souls and sad hearts. Being starved for words of affirmation, they feel worthless, unattractive, and unappreciated. This episode examines a biblical role of husbands that you may have thought little about—our job to protect our wife’s self-esteem. Life and self-doubt will eventually crush her sense of worth if we don’t keep binding up the wounds to her self-esteem, covering her with the salve of our reassuring words of affirmation. For Further Prayer ..read more

Episode Summary. God wants husbands and wives to drink deeply and frequently of the refreshing waters of their partner’s sexuality. But most of us whose marriages have lasted beyond the honeymoon stage have found that sustaining romantic and sexual passion has been a lot harder than we ever thought it would be, especially because our wives are NOT wired the way WE are. This episode looks for biblical clues to understanding how and why a woman’s view of romance and sex is so different than her husband’s.
