S0422: Lessons from the Life of Tamar
Series: The Female In God's Plan
Host: Rev. Dr. Charles Zuta

Welcome to today’s episode, where we dive into one of the most unexpected redemption arcs in the Bible—the story of Judah and Tamar. Judah, the fourth son of Jacob, whose name means “praise,” lived much of his adult life far from anything praiseworthy. His choices were flawed, his leadership absent, and his moral compass seemingly broken. But everything changed when he crossed paths with a woman named Tamar—his daughter-in-law.
Tamar’s story is one of boldness, resilience, and righteous defiance. Faced with injustice and abandonment, she took a stand not just for herself, but for what was right. And in doing so, she became the catalyst for Judah’s transformation—from a man spiraling downward to the leader of Israel’s tribes, the recipient of Jacob’s blessing, and the forefather of the Messiah.
In this episode, we explore how Tamar’s courage and perseverance reshaped history, and how her example challenges us to confront injustice with conviction—even when the odds are stacked against us.

S0421: The Role of Women In the Jesus's Ministry
Series: The Female In God's Plan
Host: Rev. Dr. Charles Zuta

The body of Christ is divided over the role of women in the work of ministry, but God has no such problem. Actually, God has had women in His plans before the foundation of the world. Since Jesus is the Lamb slain before the foundation the world, God must have known that the Lamb had to become flesh by being born of a woman, a virgin in Nazareth, called Mary. Also, right after the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, God made an alliance with Eve against the devil. So, why does the body of Christ struggle with the role of women in the church? In this episode, I discuss how Jesus embraced women in his earthly Ministry as an example of how God views women in His Plans for humanity.

S0420: I am a girl, a woman and in God's plan, not an afterthought
Series: The Female In God's Plan
Host: Rev. Dr. Charles Zuta

Does the world fundamentally misunderstand women? Are women an afterthought of God's plan for mankind? Unfortunately, many cultures and religions seem to think so.  They don't only believe this and other myths about the female members of human society, they act it out and enforce it under the guise of political, religious or cultural norms. The effect on females has ranged from subtle subjection to outright deadly consequences. How did humanity get to this place of perennial misconceptions and mistrust of women and is the church any different? In this episode I lay the foundation for a series of episodes on the topic: The role of women in God's plan for mankind, by examining what God's original intent was for woman or females in his creation.

S0417: Godliness with Contentment
Series: Lessons from the Public Ministry of Jesus Christ
Host: Rev. Dr. Charles Zuta

Godliness does not guarantee contentment in life, it is a must-have attitude which we add on to godliness and our faith. A life of contentment will eventually enhance our Godly testimony as we break free from the urges of greed, envy, and overall dissatisfaction with our lives, which is pervasive in the world system in which we live. But, is it even possible for us to pursue and attain contentment in the current 'atmosphere of 'prosperity gospel"? in this episode I discuss how to be both Godly and content and still embrace God's desire for us to prosper.

S04E19: The Loving Father
Series: Lessons from the Public Ministry of Jesus Christ

Host: Rev. Dr. Charles Zuta
Guest: Rev Derek Amanor

When Jesus told the Parable of the prodigal son, he was introducing his audience to God as a father and the attributes of His Fatherhood, which was part of his mission on earth. Knowing God as a father and experiencing the Fatherhood of God is a tremendous blessing because it brings emotional  stability and overall security to our lives, irrespective of our personal experiences with the fatherhood of man, which may not always mirror God's expectations of fatherhood. In this Episode, Rev Derek Amanor joins me to discuss the Parable of the Prodigal son from the perspective of his father and how that illustrates the Fatherhood of God.

S04E16: Relevance of Contentment
Series: Lessons from the Public Ministry of Jesus Christ
Host: Rev. Dr. Charles Zuta

Contentment in life is being satisfied with our present reality while trusting God's goodness towards us, that the turns our lives take will be for the best. This creates internal stability and optimistic outlook on life. The absence of contentment however denies us of the peace of mind available in God, real satisfaction in life, potential for stronger relationships with others, an ability to distinguish between our true needs and wants, and the joy of simplicity in life. In this episode I discuss the importance of contentment in our lives.

S04E15: The Foundation of Contentment
Series: Lessons from the Public Ministry of Jesus Christ
Host: Rev. Dr. Charles Zuta

For the believer in Christ, contentment in life is a 'be-attitude', it is not a given, it has to be cultivated. Fortunately, our contentment is not rooted in our circumstances, but in the unchanging nature of God. Our trust in God's sovereignty and goodness produces inward peace, joy, and ultimately leads to contentment regardless of our external circumstances. In this episode, I discuss the foundation of contentment in life.

S04E13: God's Solution to Loneliness
Series: Lessons from the Public Ministry of Jesus Christ
Host: Rev. Dr. Charles Zuta

A recent report by the US Dept of Health and Human Services, drew attention to the epidemic of loneliness prevalent in the US, affecting 1 in 2 people across most  demographics. This is collaborated by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as well. Loneliness has a wide ranging devastating health effect, described as being comparable to the effects of smoking 15 cigarettes a day. The question is why do we experience loneliness in spite of the boom in social media and technology? and what should be do about it? Since both Adam and Jesus experienced loneliness at certain points in their lives, loneliness must be a vulnerability in human nature, so God must have a fix. In this episode I discuss God's fix for loneliness and how we can take advantage of God's offer for a solution.
