KNEO Podcast

This holiday season, who can you bless or honor with God’s love? Abi Byrd is a speaker and the author of an eight-week devotional, You Stand in Grace - Devotions for Walking in Faith. Abi has seen firsthand how the Gospel has transformed lives and how community plays an integral role in honoring the Lord and blessing other Christians. Her devotional focuses on the rich Gospel truths of Romans. She points out that the book of Romans has a community aspect to it, and how this serves as an example of how important a healthy church community dynamic is. We want to be able to love each other and gather together in the Holy Spirit, even if we disagree, Abi says. We can’t do that if we’re on an island all by ourselves! Serve others in your church and community and discover how you’re blessed in the process.

Segment 1

• Gallup reports a growing exodus from church with a surprising population.

• Churches pour energy into kids and young families but neglect the elderly.

• Scripture calls the older generation essential — for wisdom, discipleship, and stability.

Segment 2

• Topical preaching isn’t always wrong, but it’s risky when it replaces text-driven sermons.

• The culture is catechizing your kids faster than the pulpit can.

• Polls reveal Gen Z’s distorted view of marriage, kids, and purpose.

Segment 3

• 690+ LGBT books in a single school district – this is cultural catechism in action.

• Drag queens, “gender play,” and normalization of sin are targeting children.

• The battle for your child’s worldview is being waged at story time.

Segment 4

• Churches split over silliness: beards and whether the worship leader’s eyes were open.

• Healthy churches handle conflict biblically—talk, forgive, reconcile.

• How your church argues says more about its health than its attendance numbers.

Mary welcomes back Pastor Andy Woods to talk about some of the more significant stories in late November. We look at this week’s Climate ConJob – rather, “Confab” – and who is actually running the show these days. While the agenda never changes, and they keep trying to pull the wool over our sheeple eyes, there is no denying that many in the world today are getting pretty weary of this sales pitch. Next on our list is the Judeo/Christian worldview and lifestyle that Americans have always enjoyed, and what has happened to obliterate it in one generation. Immigration, ideologies like Communism, Marxism, Progressivism and Islam have taken a huge toll on our freedoms and our prosperity, not to mention endless attacks on men, women and children who have to be open to being something other than how God created them. Now what? Plurality goes off the rails spiritually when a Hindu temple is erecting a 90 foot statue of a Hindu God down in Texas, still a state of the union last I heard. It’s going down so fast it seems. Then we discuss some freedoms of speech and religion that are also going the way of the phone booth – only with greatly significant consequences. Suppose God is removing His hand of protection from idolatrous Americans? Although we are not a Christian nation under the banner of salvation, we have held high the freedom, morals, and good neighborliness that love requires for our entire existence. A great hour with a superb teacher of the Scriptures, and a watchman.

A few years ago, a study asked Americans to rank different people groups on an evolutionary scale of “humanness.” Sadly, people actually did this—putting themselves above others. Yes, racism is still alive in the US.

But as Christians, we should have nothing whatsoever to do with racism. We are all descended from Adam and Eve—there’s only one race, the human race. Every person on earth is related to one another. As the Bible says, we’re all “one blood.”

Jesus came, died, and rose again for people from every tribe, tongue, nation, and language. Every person is a sinner in need of the grace and salvation from Jesus.
