Film Maker, and former podcaster, Les Lanphere (Calvinist, Spirit and Truth) is back on the podcast to chat about his latest project, Cessationist. Here is the description:

"On any given week, countless Christians gather and participate in strange practices they believe are true expressions of the power of God. From speaking in tongues to attempting to raise the dead, Charismatic Christians believe they are participating in modern miracles. But are these miracles real? Are the Apostolic sign gifts in operation today? Cessationist will lovingly and carefully answer this important question by exposing the errors and building a positive case for the real work of the Holy Spirit today. The real gift of the Spirit is far more necessary and powerful than many imagine."

Please consider stopping by the Kickstarter page to learn how you can help this project get started.

For many Christians, the King James Version of the Bible is only acceptable translation for English speaking people. But, is that what the translators themselves thought or even wanted others to think? Taken out of many modern KJV Bibles is the original preface written by those very translators. Thankfully Joshua Barzon has taken the time to share this preface with us and explore the thoughts and the intents of what was then a new controversial translation. In his just-released book, the Forgotten Preface, Joshua shares with us a forgotten piece of the puzzle many did not know even existed. He joins us this week on a podcast you won't want to miss!

This week I get to introduce to a great new author, Kevin P. Horath. Kevin has written a series of devotional books starting with the Elisha Factor and most recently, The Donkey Factor: Living a Life Used by God. He has even dabbled into children's books as well (which my own kids have read). So, this week, we'll focus more about the Donkey Factor, which explores an often underestimated animal and how it leads us to Scriptural encouragement to serve Christ.
