Kingdom Now

Abortion is, without a doubt, one of the most controversial issues in society - and the church - at large. Many churches, church leaders, ministers, and other individuals have expressed interest in the issue of abortion, feeling it is a Biblical issue. Is it? What does the Bible say about abortion - and will it surprise you? Join Apostle Dr.  Lee Ann Marino for a look at abortion under Biblical law and how Scripture handles this particular topic. Insightful, educational and, as always, controversial, take a look at a very popular and edgy topic - and discover that the Bible's voice on this topic isn't silent, nor does it say what you might think it does.

It is tempting to isolate when one experiences trauma, especially thinking that no one else has been through what you've been through. Grief, parental abuse, and domestic violence are all examples of situations that tend to draw people in, rather than out. Here, Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino welcomes Worship Leader Lex Lewis for an insightful discussion into the ways that they have "bonded through trauma" and why such is important in healing, in telling one's story, and in spiritual growth.

"The good ol' days" is a phrase frequently invoked when we start reminiscing about various ideas, eras, and concepts of history. We are lauded to "obey your father and mother," but don't consider what that means for us when our ancestors steered us wrong. What does the Bible offer us in such circumstances? Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino for this live teaching recorded online for Jesus People of Asheville (Pastor Tom Cash) in February 2021 on what to do when the past needs improvement, studying from Zechariah 1.

Modern society treats the idea of women dating younger men as scandalous, inappropriate, shameful, and often improper. Even though men can visibly "rob the cradle" and society encourages such - when women date even slightly out of their age range, they are labeled as "cougars." Is the "cougar" practice new? In an interesting Biblical observation, Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino draws on an old Bible practice that involved older women and younger men - and why it should stop the judgment against older women who date younger men and younger men who are interested in older women. (Intro and conclusion track provided by DanoSongs, www.danosongs.com.) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kingdompowernow/support
