We all, at times try to protect ourselves from being hurt by building walls in our mind to protect us from other people hurting us. But these walls will imprison us in a jail of our own making, and we have the key in our hands. I tell an amazing story of a lady who had to die before she realized what she was doing to herself.

270-IF A PERSON IS NOT LOVING, ARE THEY A CHRISTIAN?

One source for answering this crucial question, is a Christian doctrine that nobody seems to understand, the Trinity. I unpack this ancient belief of the Church that most Christians in America think is completely irrelevant. Actually the Trinity shows how God is intimately connected to every person alive, whether they are Christian or not. Also, why God is more a verb than a noun.

269-THE LOGOS, ECHOES FROM THE FUTURE? BREADCRUMBS OF CHRIST, CLUES FROM THE FUTURE?

The Universe is leaving clues all around us how we should proceed. And the strange thing is that these clues are given to us from a Being who in some senses is in the Future. What are these Clues of Life? Where can we find them? Breadcrumbs of Christ from the Future? Listen as I discuss the LOGOS who ministers to us from both the Future and the Past, as well as the Present.

268-GOD IS NOT A PERFECTIONIST-WHY PERFORMANCE BASED CHRISTIANITY CAN'T WORK

264-WHY IS THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH SO AFRAID OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?

All Christians have the Holy Spirit, but you would never know it. And most have no interest in any friendship with the Spirit or in being filled with the Spirit. Why? Why is that? And what exactly is the FULL message of Jesus the Christ anyway?
