Kingdom Now

Quarantine. Social distancing. Home stay orders (or as our host says, "house arrest"). People fear human contact as statistics show more individuals falling ill or dying from COVID-19. Churches are closed. Looking out over the landscape as we see it, how do we stand upon faith - or perhaps develop a deeper one? Looking at different spiritual perspectives and insights, how can our faith grow when we are cut off from our communities? Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino and guest author Aaron Joy, as they discuss matters of prayer and insights for spiritual benefit in times of crisis, difficulty, and most definitely, uncertainty.

If you spend any time on social media, you have, most likely, seen a post or a video about an abstract group known as the Illuminati. Most videos and posts tie it back to the Freemasons, a group dubbed as a "secret society," complete with degrees, rituals, and lots and lots of mythology that most don't readily share with others. What of these different things is true, and what amounts to urban legend? Are Freemasons controlling the world? Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino and guest Aaron Joy, author and Masonic historian, as they discuss the world of Freemasonry and whether or not it is something the average person should fear.

Today we hear about things, such as human trafficking, and wonder what divine insight can be offered in such situations. Though we often trip over some of the Bible's women, there is much to learn about these modern-day issues from a Biblical character most understood, but most important. Join Apostle Dr. Lee Ann Marino and guest Minister Angie Littlefair of Beer Lahai Roi Ministries as they look at the world of Hagar - who she was, why she was important in her own right, and what she offers us today in church, in issues of human trafficking and sexual abuse, and from the perspective of the spiritual outcast.

What  impact do these labels have on our identity as believers - and how does  knowing God change our perception of our "labels?" Looking at Psalm 68  and Ephesians 2, what hope does God give to the "labeled?" Join Apostle  Dr. Lee Ann  Marino for a special episode as she draws on her own  experience with "labels" and preaches live in Asheville, North  Carolina  in October 2019 at Jesus People Arts and Worship Center  (Pastor Tom  Cash, leader).
