In this episode, we reveal it all. We discuss infant baptism and how the arguments that we held for its practice simply dissolved when studying scripture. This is not an episode where we are taking shots at the practice of infant baptism; however, we are pointing out the reasons for its illogical nature. We are not naive and expect that some people may still take offence at what is discussed here. We have made an honest attempt to be respectful throughout this episode - however, not for the sake...

In this episode we interview Pastor Anil Alexander who we came across when he ran the "Porn Again to Born Again" series. It was such a blessing to be a part of that series and now we take a deep dive into Holiness and how God's calling for us to be holy can be disrupted by porn and other pleasures. We hope you find this valuable for your walk with Christ.

This episode looks at the meaning of grace by investigating the relationship of two brothers, Jacob and Esau. Many churches have redefined grace and the dispensation of it through various traditions; this has led to false understanding of it. We hope this will enrich and help you understand the lavishness of God's grace unto us.

We had a lot of fun recording this episode with Jewel George and Edwin Joseph. And there will be moments on here which will make you laugh with joy. But let that not take away from the seriousness of what it is we are discussing. It is the sad reality that many Pentecostal youths are skeptical about modern day prophets. Do we blame them? Not really. They have been surrounded by false prophets and prophecies from a young age. This has led to their hearts growing colder. In this episode we discuss...

In this episode we discuss why the Indian church is dying despite its growing numbers. We speak about why these numbers don't reveal the whole truth and discuss the church's inability at retaining second and third generation immigrants.
