This episode introduces the discussion on value as it relates to the sacred vs. the secular. When God introduced the blueprint to bring the glory from the top of the mountain into the midst of the people, He demanded that the Tabernacle be the centerpiece of social and familial life. The entire congregation was required to encamp in a specific order around the house of God, and everything in their lives corresponded to the location of God's house in their midst. More than this, God hijacked their calendrical system and demanded that they observe festivals, sabbaths, fasts, and other sacred dates. Did God consult with them about the calendar? Did God ask their opinion on anything regarding the centrality of His house? No!

Sadly, we have seen a tremendous decline in the value of the sacred while the value system of the secular life manifests in our prioritization and commitment to its domains. In this episode, what every pastor wishes every saint had an understanding of is discussed. Honestly, if everyone were to capture the principles in this episode, we would not face the struggles many of us face to see our local church grow, expand, and gain access to the local community. Be sure to share, like, and talk about the principles of this episode. It would bless your local church and propel you to unprecedented growth in the kingdom of God.

In this episode, we discuss reading, genres of literature, and the importance of tackling challenging books that get us out of our comfort zone.

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.

What do we know about the Donkey that carried Christ into Jerusalem for what is commonly known as the Triumphal Entry of Christ? What if we have made the donkey something it is not? Well, in this episode, we examine the donkey from a biblical perspective and challenge the oft-spoken narrative.
