  • Exposing False Teachings: Unmasking the Prosperity Gospel

    Send us Fan Mail

    Did you know that snakes can sense earthquakes up to 75 miles away? Just as these creatures tap into a frequency beyond our understanding, so too can we tap into a deeper understanding of scripture and false teachings. We  set out on a journey to explore the prosperity gospel—a peculiar phenomenon that was popular in the 70s and 80s, where people were encouraged to send money in exchange for prayed-over handkerchiefs. We also ponder society's skewed sense of empathy and blessings, particularly in a wealthy nation like ours.

    Ever questioned the essence of Christianity after accepting Christ? We've got you covered. Together, we navigate the scriptures from Ephesians and Romans that remind us of the predestined good works God has chosen for us. We expose the deceptive nature of universalism that falsely proposes multiple pathways to salvation, negating the truth that Jesus is the only way. We reflect on Jesus' words about the narrow gate, emphasizing that His path may be challenging, but it leads to unparalleled peace.

    A warning to the wise: not everything that glitters is gold. As we journey further, we unmask false teachings such as relativism and distorted views about Jesus. With the evolving culture, relativism seems to be gaining ground, blurring the lines of gender and eliminating absolutes. Then, we bring to light false teachings about Jesus that corrupt the truth of His divine nature, humanity, sacrifice for our sins, and resurrection. At every turn, we remind ourselves to remain firmly anchored in the truth of Scripture, worshipping God in spirit and truth. Tune in to delve deep into these topics and more.

  • Judges Series- Jotham

    Send us Fan Mail

    What if you could unearth the intriguing origins of dentistry, delve into the world of Australia's first ever documented film, and uncover the dramatic biblical story of Gideon, all in one sitting? Today, we share our personal, sometimes hilarious, encounters with dentistry, inspired by our beloved dentist, Dr Mary Day. We also venture into the natural world, sharing tales of family encounters with possums. The heart of our episode, however, is the study of Gideon and his son, Abimelech, providing insights into the pitfalls of idolatry and the love of money.

    Imagine being the youngest son of Gideon and escaping your other brothers' executions. That's the captivating story of Jotham and his ominous warning to the people of Shechem, who made Abimelech their king. His parable about the trees going forth to anoint the king casts a meaningful reflection on modern leadership. Fast forward to Abimelech, who embarks on a brutal battle. His actions provokes a discussion about the destructive consequences of corrupt leadership and the violence it breeds.

    Our exploration of this biblical narrative is an invitation to reflect on the transformative power of God, turning our mess into a message for His glory. Above all, we remind you that even in the face of adversity, there's hope in Jesus Christ, the ultimate source of justice and mercy. So, join us on this enlightening journey, immersing yourself in riveting narratives and thought-provoking discussions.

We also delve into the fascinating realm of Hebrew wordplay, unearthing revelatory insights into Yeshua's identity through Hebrew verb forms and alphabetic references.

    The episode then takes a dramatic turn as we grapple with the realities of end times and salvation. This draws from the book of Revelation and explores the context of the rapture, the restoration of Israel, and the second coming of Jesus. We also stress the necessity of confessing one's sins and wholly embracing Jesus as your Lord and Savior. All this, wrapped up with Rabbi Grillo's powerful reminder of God's unwavering love for us all.

    Ever wondered how the human body can be so fascinating and mysterious at the same time? Did you know that we completely regenerate a new skeleton every 10 years? Join us as we explore the wonders of the human body, including the bizarre phenomenon of rubbing garlic on your feet and tasting it in your mouth within 30 minutes! But more importantly, we'll tackle the challenge of feeling distant from God and explore various reasons why this can happen.

Learn how a lack of spiritual discipline and unresolved doubts can create distance from God - and how God uses these doubts to strengthen our faith.

    Finally, we analyze the story of Job, his unwavering faith in God amid extreme loss, and the spiritual dryness that can test our faith. We'll also dive into King Solomon's wisdom and close connection with God, and discuss the struggles long-time Christians face in maintaining their relationship with God. So, join us on this enlightening journey as we navigate the complexities of our relationship with God, finding comfort in His love and grace.
