Have you asked yourself, "What in the World is wrong with everybody?" It seems that we constantly have strife and contention at every turn. The question is not just in the political world but in all aspects of life. This podcast episode is for you if you have asked yourself this question.

Episode 33 will give a brief answer to why the world seems so contentious. The answer may surprise you. Hopefully, by the end of this episode, the links to why the world is in the state it is in will paint a clearer picture of what is wrong. Here is a hint, it's not about race but the family to which each person belongs.

The dangerous doctrines of false churches have been around for quite some time, and we are not surprised by this taking place. The Christian Church has always been under attack, and Satan loves to attack the Church by changing the Church into something false or false teaching.

Episode 32 will discuss how Satan uses false doctrine to attack and change the truth of the false Church into a lie. The dangerous principles from the false churches are essential for believers to recognize to guard themselves in the world that we walk in.

The scripture reference for this episode will be John 4:24, John 10:27,

Strong Christians need to be awakened. For far too long, we have been asleep at the wheel regarding issues believers face in society. Modern society works hard to change Christianity radically.

Merriam-Webster added the word "Woke" to its dictionary in 2017, defining it as "aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)." This new term puts a target on the back of believers and venom in the veins of those who want to cancel their beliefs. Episode 31 will discuss why strong Christians need to be awakened, not woke.

The scripture reference for this episode will be John 14:6, Ecclesiastes 1:9, Luke 15:4-7, 1 John 5:17, Romans 7:13, John 8:34

The Church is more than just a physical building. As a matter of fact, many in today's society do not understand what the "church" really is. The Church is not a place to sing songs, hear someone preach, or even go to Sunday School, and the Church is a hospital for sinners.

Episode 29 will make a defense of why the "church" needs to be understood to make it effective in the world that we try to convert. The spiritual Church is not a building, and it's not a place where hurt takes place, as many may think. It belongs to Jesus. It heals wounds, mends broken hearts, and has the most incredible doctor the world has ever seen, the great physician.

The scripture reference for this episode will be Matthew 16:17-18, Ephesians 5:32, 2 Chronicles 16:12

Sometimes throw stones, sometimes don't. Not a popular point of view in Christian discussion in today's society, but that's the topic for this podcast episode. As Christians, we are often reminded of the phrase, "he who cast the first stone." No doubt this applies to the testimony we carry to the world.

However, sometimes throwing stones is something we should do. We are not always called to be passive. Episode 28 will use the examples of a shepherd boy named David, who threw stones, and Jesus, who gave a command not to. Both instances were applicable for the event taking place.

The scripture reference for this podcast will be Ephesians 6:12, 1 Samuel 17, John 8.

Reverent is a word that most do not take much stock in any longer in today's society, and the world has lost respect for the foundational societal etiquette for daily living. However, The Bible calls all believers to be reverent.

The Bible is full of examples of how we are to be respectful to God and Family. For this reason, I have chosen reverence as being one of the 7 Ironclad Christian Characteristics. Episode 26 provides evidence why Christians should be reverent in today's society towards God and Family.

The scripture reference for this podcast will be Leviticus 19:30, Numbers 20:6, Leviticus 22:9, Galatians 2:20, Matthew 6:9-13, 1 Peter 1:15-16, and Luke 23:40-42

Strength is a word that most in the world do not think applies to Christians. The world wants all believers to be weak and submissive to everything they want to put forth. However, The Bible calls all believers to be strong. We should no longer think we should bend to every whelm the world throws at us.

The Bible is full of examples of how we are to be strong in faith and practice. For this reason, I have chosen strength as being one of the 7 Ironclad Christian Characteristics. Episode 25 provides evidence why Christians should show strength in our belief in Biblical principles and faith in Jesus.

The scripture reference for this podcast will be Matthew 5:17-20, Mark 10:6, Ephesians 6:10-13, Matthew 24:24, Romans 3:23, 1 John 28-29, 1 Corinthians 16:13

Servant is a word that we typically think of in a negative way. In the book of Luke, Jesus taught, "No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."

The Bible is full of examples of how that we are to serve God. For this reason, I have chosen servant as being one of the 7 Ironclad Christian Characteristics. Episode 24 will discuss how we are to serve as Christians and give examples both from Old and New Testament examples.

The scripture reference for this podcast will be Luke 16:13, Joshua 24:15, Proverbs 22:7, Luke 22:24-26, John 12:26, Genesis 29:18

Repentance is essential for the person who calls themselves a Christian. One of the most evident elements of Biblical salvation is repentance. Many today in Christian circles do not see the need to call for people to repent. Episode 23 will discuss why we as believers must have repentance in our lives each day and how it is essential to growing closer to Christ.

The absence of teaching repentance is not a new concept to our society. The warfare on this teaching began in America before the 1950s. Knowing this, if we truly follow the Ironclad Christian Characteristics, we must have a repentant heart. A believer unwilling to have repentance in their life will not be fulfilling the responsibility to let Christ increase and ourselves decrease.

The scripture reference for this podcast will be Luke 13:1-5, Matthew 3:1-2, Matthew 3:7-8, Matthew 4:17, Matthew 9:12-13, Mark 1:14-15, Luke 15:1-7, and 1 Corinthians 15:31
