Higher Ground

In this episode of Higher Ground, we begin a new journey—teaching the Bible book by book, chapter by chapter—starting with the book of Romans.

Romans chapter 1 lays the foundation for everything that follows. The Apostle Paul introduces the gospel as God’s power for salvation and declares that righteousness comes by faith, just as the Scriptures foretold. At the same time, Paul exposes the human condition that makes the gospel necessary—humanity’s suppression of truth, rejection of God, and descent into spiritual and moral disorder.

This episode walks carefully through Romans 1:1–32, covering both the gospel thesis and the reality of human rebellion, while grounding Paul’s teaching in the Old Testament. Before grace can be understood, sin must be named—and Romans begins by showing us why no one can justify themselves apart from Christ.

Join us as we lay the groundwork for the weeks ahead and set the tone for a season rooted in Scripture, truth, and the transforming power of the gospel.

In this episode of Higher Ground, we build on the call to stand firm by exploring how faith is sustained and strengthened in a broken world. Drawing from Psalm 73 and Romans 8, this study walks through the reality of doubt, suffering, and perseverance, showing how God uses our struggles to deepen trust and mature our faith. As we move from standing firm, to staying in faith, to growing in faith, we are reminded that our present journey is not the end — our hope is anchored in Christ and the promise of eternal life.

In this episode of Higher Ground, we take an in-depth look at Paul’s thorn in the flesh from 2 Corinthians chapter 12 and what God is truly teaching through it. Rather than focusing on what the thorn was, we explore why it was given—and how God uses weakness to guard us from pride and form us through grace. Tying back to the Armor of God, this teaching shows how standing firm is not about strength or self-reliance, but humility, dependence, and spiritual formation. Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, this episode unpacks why conceit is spiritually dangerous, why humility is essential to faith, and how God’s power is made perfect in weakness.

In this episode of Higher Ground, we continue from Job’s question—“How can a man be right before God?”—and Paul’s answer in Romans that righteousness is given by God through faith, turning next to Ephesians chapter 6 to explore the meaning of the whole armor of God. Rather than reading this passage through fear or speculation, we examine God’s intention: the formation of grounded, faithful believers who can stand firm. This episode addresses how the church has historically misunderstood or misused this text, clarifies that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, and shows how Paul’s teaching calls believers to stability, endurance, and trust in God’s strength rather than anxiety or obsession with spiritual conflict.

Today, we’re going to step into a deeper theological question that rises naturally out of suffering. It’s not a question of emotion. It’s not a question of anger. It’s a question of righteousness. The question is this: “How can a man be in the right before God?” That question comes from the heart of the book of Job.

In the last episode, we talked about obedience. What it looks like, why it matters, and how obedience aligns our hearts with God’s will. I specially will talk about something connected to obedience (Trials) and more specifically, the question: Does God send trials?

This episode is about obedience to God and trusting that God will make you who you need to be in order to spread the word. All you have to do is trust and let him guide you.

Our very first episode with a guest to do a question and answer about Christians and celebrating holidays or any type of celebration. Hope this answers some questions about such a topic it’s not my intent to sway or discourage anyone it’s not a debate. But hope it puts things in a biblical perspective. God bless
