On this episode of BVD we learn about one of the most powerful females in the history of Israel, the Judge and Prophet Deborah. This is proof that God has no problem with Women being in ministry and in influential positions in the Church. Here at BVD we salute these mighty women of God by placing the emphasis on the story of Deborah. God loves females just as much as males. God bless you as you listen.

4 Now Deborah, a prophet, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading[ a] Israel at that time. 5 She held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went up to her to have their disputes decided. 6 She sent for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, “The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you: ‘Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun and lead them up to Mount Tabor. 7 I will lead Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River and give him into your hands.’”

Is it okay to preach the name of Jesus with false motives? At first, we think the obvious answer is no, but in Philippians the Apostle Paul wrote preached something quite different. In this episode we explore Paul's reasoning as he is wrapped in chains awaiting his death. We also get a visit from my good friend Jordi and Pastor Jason also salutes an old friend.


15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.

Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,

It is one the shortest chapter in the bible, but it is also some of the most beautiful scripture in the bible as well. Psalms 117 is all about praising God for His goodness. There is nothing sad or challenging in this chapter, just pure wholehearted worship for a God that created each one of us and wants to pour his love on us. Pastor Jason breaks it down so we can extract every ounce of joy from the text. We also have a cameo appearance from a couple of Doves that sing above Pastor Jason and he records.

1 Praise the Lord, all you nations;
    extol him, all you peoples.
 2 For great is his love toward us,
    and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.

Praise the Lord.

Have you ever looked at someone for the purpose of finding a flaw in them, only to conclude they have none? This is the situation in Numbers 24. King Balek had hired a Prophet named Balaam to cure the Israelites, only to have Balaam bless the Israelites instead.  In this episode we learn one basic but powerful principle. What God blesses man cannot curse. How do this apply to your life? Tune in to find out.

 Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not resort to divination as at other times, but turned his face toward the wilderness. 2 When Balaam looked out and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came on him 3 and he spoke his message:

“The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor,
    the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,
 4 the prophecy of one who hears the words of God,
    who sees a vision from the Almighty,[a]
    who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:

5 “How beautiful are your tents, Jacob,
    your dwelling places, Israel!

6 “Like valleys they spread out,
    like gardens beside a river,
 like aloes planted by the Lord,
    like cedars beside the waters.
 7 Water will flow from their buckets;
    their seed will have abundant water.

“Their king will be greater than Agag;
    their kingdom will be exalted.

8 “God brought them out of Egypt;
    they have the strength of a wild ox.
 They devour hostile nations
    and break their bones in pieces;
    with their arrows they pierce them.
 9 Like a lion they crouch and lie down,
    like a lioness—who dares to rouse them?

“May those who bless you be blessed
    and those who curse you be cursed!”
