What does the bible have to say about busybodies? What does it say about meddling in strife that does not involve us? In this episode, we go after a theological discussion surrounding God's view on meddling with striving dogs. One of the worst arenas for striving dogs is social media, and we are being inundated daily by those "passing by" who find it difficult not to get angered and hotheaded and who suddenly find themselves being attacked by things that did not concern them nor was it worthy of their attention.

While these are available in many places, many versions are still dominated by distortion and hisses. Having cleaned these up, please enjoy these lessons on Prayer by Verbal Bean. We will be adding one remastered bonus episode each month for your listening. Also, please be sure to also purchase the book Verbal Bean's "Prayer" by Dr. Johnny King, as it introduces the lessons in the order they were taught, along with commentary. This episode is side one of the first tape.

In this episode, we turn the prism on the narrative of Moses' salvation in the Ark of Bulrushes. Was it a conspiracy of compassion? Was it designed and intentional? How much of the story have we told from a Sunday school narrative of a child being tossed around in the Nile River with crocodiles fighting to capture the little ark? What if there was more design and intent to the story? Listen in and see and then share this episode with others!

What are the four primary views of the millennium? In this episode, we give a brief overview of the core tenants of each viewpoint while not weighing in or opining on personal thoughts on each viewpoint. It is essential to understand the four primary views to help clarify a bit more some of the language used or discussed when people weight in on eschatological viewpoints. If you like, please share! Leave a great review!

In this bonus episode, we offer a taste of Apostolic history with a cleaned-up audio version of this old Indiana Bible College Recording called "Time to Talk." I guess we can call this an "original podcast!" This tremendous sit-down conversation highlights holiness and the community, G.T. Haywood, music and the church, and many other conversations that focus primarily on interviewing Bishop N.A. Urshan and Bishop Morris Golder. You will absolutely enjoy the history, stories, and discussions in this bonus episode.

In this presentation, Dr. Jeremy Painter, a leading academic in Pentecostalism, brings us into a descriptive journey through the eyes of Christianity's earliest and fiercest critics, only to arrive at the triumph of a church full of "losers." This presentation should be mandatory listening for anyone seeking to gain a greater appreciation of the work of Christ in the Body of the Church.

In this short episode, taste a little brain candy as we pull together an event out of the Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis and reveal the underpinning of a philosophy that Lewis likely draws from. We involve the incorrigible French philosopher Rene Descartes, that is slightly salted with a modified hermeneutic of suspicion and the postmodern fancy of our present hour.

In this episode, we discuss reading, genres of literature, and the importance of tackling challenging books that get us out of our comfort zone. We also examine the improper response to knowledge and the tragic rise of hubris that comes from some who engage in higher learning. Knowledge should humble us, not elevate our opinion of ourselves. Heidegger, Derrida, C.S. Lewis, Edgar Allen Poe, and other authors are mentioned in this that accompany a wide range of literary genres.

In this episode, we examine the Catholic tradition of Ash Wednesday and what the ashes on the forehead are all about?

I am confronted many times by individuals who try to bring a doctrine of "believe and confess" back to the example of the Thief on the Cross as a proof text. Is there merit to this argument? Does the text regarding the repentant thief a salvific text for the New Testament believer? Well, in this episode, we discuss it together.
