Encounter Podcast

In this episode, we have a Christ-centered conversation with Mr. Paul Kaiser. Paul is a disciple of Christ that served in the State Police, has been an elder for many years, and currently leads a SAFE team for Calvary Chapel Hammonton. We discuss his testimony, how to be proactive about safety while still being reliant on God, and we tap into some wisdom from someone who has been walking with the Lord.

As we dig into the first 3 chapters of Matthew, we look into how Matthew used the Exodus pattern to show Jesus as the new Moses. The Bible is the most incredible book ever recorded and the Holy Spirit's inspiration makes every individual piece fit together perfectly to tell the story of Jesus.

In this episode, we discuss whether or not it is selfish to have your needs met as a Christian. We know that God tells us to prioritize God and our neighbors, but also that we cannot do so effectively if we are not physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually healthy. This conversation goes deep and challenges the way we look at service to the local body.

In this week's episode, we pinpoint a few areas that Biblical truths are being better lived out by the World than the truth. Thank you for listening!

As part of Encounter, we are going to take a closer look at Matthew as we tackle topics, have guests on, and study Scripture. Today, we get an overview of what God was doing in Matthew as well as some basic hermeneutics that can help us along the way.

We are joined by Rico Esteves to discuss his testimony, how to stay centered on Christ in a high stress job like police-work, and the good, the bad, and the ugly that we have seen in the Church over the past 30 years. Good insight, real laughs, and great stories. Tune in and don't forget to like, favorite, and subscribe to this podcast.

Pastor Chuck is a powerful force for God that leads the Shall Never Thirst Ministries. His testimony is an emotional roller coaster that deals with series and sensitive issues like assault, cancer, addiction, and broken families. In the midst of each of these, God was calling Him and patiently waiting to finish his testimony and receive the glory for Pastor Chuck's redemption.

We can't believe this ministry has been active for almost 3 years and 100 episodes. God has taught us so many lessons through his Word and through the fellowship with each other and our guests. If you have been traveling this journey with us, please let us know how you have been blessed!

In this episode, the Encounter guys look at key Scriptures through the lens of conviction and shame.

In this week's episode, we look at forgiveness through the lens of the Scripture. What the Bible say about our need to forgive? Does it always lead to reconciliation? Are there circumstances where we shouldn't forgive?
