Send us a text In this episode, we tackle the quickly growing trend of the "Hebrew Roots Movement," also known by the names: Hebrew Roots, Hebrew Christians, Sacred Name Movement, Hebrew Israelites, Torah Observant, Messianic Vision, Hebrew Torah Movement, and others. People who follow this teaching follow the Old Testament laws, festivals, and traditions. There are varying beliefs and practices within the movement because there is no overarching guiding principles or doctrine. But one thing all...

Send us a text We’ve all been there. We’ve been scrolling through facebook, Instagram, twitter, whatever, and we see a meme or a post someone has shared that is meant to impart some deep spiritual meaning to our lives. Maybe it tells God will do a miracle for us if we just believe or that God loves and accepts everyone, so stop judging people, or maybe it tells you to go out and take on the world, because God’s got your back. We will be the first to say social media is a great way to reach a lot...

Send us a text In this episode, we tackle two teachings you may not not have heard of, but we guarantee you have heard of some of the "Christian" teachers who practice them: Automatic Writing and Spiritual Messaging. Both have similar origins. With people like Beth Moore and Sarah Young (of Jesus Calling), who have millions of followers, participating in these practices, it's important to delve deeply into them. Where did these practices come from and how have they been used in the past? What ha...

Send us a text We continue with our discussion on "Christian Nationalism." In this episode we look at Dominion theology, Christian Reconstructionism or Kingdom Now theology. And hand in hand with that is something called The Seven Mountain Mandate. These are supposed Christian narratives that involve changing the laws of all the nations to God’s laws in the Old Testament and enforcing that law on all people to prepare the world for Christ’s arrival. What exactly is this theology? Who is practici...

She walks us through the last two years when the Canadian government tried to close their church, Grace Life, down in the name of "covid safety." The church, Erin, and her husband and Grace Life's preaching pastor, James Coates, stayed faithful to God's Word refusing to close, even when James was imprisoned for it. Erin gives us a first-hand look at not only the difficulties and darkness of that time, but also the faithfulness of God, and t...

Send us a text We've all seen the memes, bumper stickers, prints, tattoos, and other things that sport a verse of Scripture. However, too often, the verses are ripped away from their original passages, taken out of context, and misused. They become man-centered instead of God-centered. They glorify man instead of God. They cheapen God from Almighty Sovereign to a personal Santa Claus! Join us as we put these hijacked verses back into context and back to their original meaning. When we do, we fin...

Send us a text It use to be that Mormons claimed their religion to be unique and not Christian. They even performed a play where a Protestant minister was used by Satan to deceive Adam. But things have changed over the years. The play is no longer performed, and now Mormons, or Latter-day Saints as they are more commonly known, claim to be Christian! Not much is known about mormonism by those on the outside. But in this episode, we tell you about how they came into existence, their beliefs, the ...

Send us a text As Christians, we are guaranteed to be drawn into spiritual warfare. God has given us His armor to do just that! But how are we to engage with Satan and his demons? What power do we have against them? Are we to firmly denounce them and tell them to leave us alone? Are we to rebuke them with Scripture? Are we to pray the blood of Jesus against them and their schemes? Are we to pray a hedge of thorns around ourselves, our loved ones, and houses for protection? Or are we stand firm i...

Send us a text As Christians, we live our daily lives in enemy territory while we’re here on earth. At every turn, it seems that living as a Christian gets harder and harder. We need to know our enemy and be prepared! One of the things most under attack is the family.

As we move into Ephesians chapter 6, we’re going to see that God also has a message directed ...

Send us a text In the last episode, we delved into Ephesians 5:22 - 24 where Paul directed Christian Wives to submit to their own husbands. In this episode, it's the Christian husband's turn. Paul spent 3 verses giving Christian Wives an imperative, yet he spends 11 verses giving Christian husbands an imperative. We know Christian husbands are to lead their family, but what exactly does that mean and what does that look like? This passage has been misunderstood, misused, and abused. But when you...

Send us a text In Protecting Our Own, we delve into one of the most famous (or infamous, depending on how you view it) passages in all of Scripture - Ephesians 5:22 - 33. Paul's directive to Christian wives to submit to their husbands, and to Christian husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the church. It’s both famous and sadly, infamous, because of the misunderstanding surrounding it. For some, it’s a mandatory reading at their wedding, for others, it’s a “you better not dare read it or ...

Send us a text People often say that cursing is not a sin so long as you don't use God's name in vain. They are just words, and wouldn't even be considered curses at different times in history and in different cultures. Some rationalize that even if you say "darn," God knows what you are really thinking, so be true to yourself and don't lie to God and say what you're thinking. But what does the Bible say about it? And how about drinking? Is it okay for Christians to drink so long as they don't g...

Send us a text Education is great when it’s coupled with knowledge of the Gospel – the truth that we are all sinners in need of being saved from the wrath of our perfectly holy Creator. But when education is coupled with hardness of heart instead of that knowledge, you’ve got nothing. All the education in the world is useless in keeping you from burning in hell. Without salvation, we are just educated fools. In the latter part of chapter 4 of Ephesians, Paul is trying to keep us from being "educ...

Send us a text We have reached chapter 4 of the Book of Ephesians which begins the second part of it - the imperatives – what we’re told to do in light of the fact that we’re God’s children and all He has done for us. This indicative/imperative thing flips on its head what most people think about the Bible – and even Christianity. And it’s what makes Christianity a totally different religion than any of the false religions out there. Most (if not all) religions are about doing. Given the quickly...

Send us a text In this episode, we finish out Ephesians chapter 3 and the the indicatives of part 1 of the book. In Eph. 3:14 - 21, Paul models not only praying bigger, but models how to specifically pray for Spiritual strength. The 3 main issues we delve into from this passage in this episode are: 1)What does it mean to pray for spiritual strength? 2) What is the spiritual strength we are given? 3) Why is it even necessary that we have spiritual strength? But before we get to that, we define wh...

It's answer is multi-layered and unfolds as the story goes on. It makes our brain do some work – it is deeper and more complex than it first appears. Maybe we even need to get some back story to fully understand. If you like these kind of mysteries, Paul has a great one for us in Ephes. 3:1 - 13.

Nor are we given a little island of grace in us that’s good and can help draw us to God. Neither of these beliefs are backed up by Scripture. What Scripture does say is that, " God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—...

In Ephesians 1:15 - 23, Paul exhorts us to think bigger- to go beyond just being grateful for and thanking God for the usual things - material needs, physical healing, safety, etc. for ourselves and others, and to "thank bigger" and "pray bigger." What exactly does this mean and how do we do it? What effect can it have on our transformation and how will it set us ...

So many things that are evil are being touted as good, while true good is being denounced as evil. And this is true even in some of our churches! Christians need to have the courage and w...
