Happy Resurrection Sunday! The grave is empty. Hell and sin are defeated. Our worldly flesh has been defeated by Jesus’ work at the Cross and power over the grave! Christian, we have so much to be thankful for. The Resurrection of Jesus is what makes the Gospel central to how we work, parent, and combat a secular worldview.

From the beginning, in the Garden of Eden, Satan has been offering counterfeit options to the truth. The world system is coming after Christians, but we should not be surprised by this. Just like Jesus promised, the world hates him and they will hate you. We should expect it and trust our Lord in the middle of it.

Did Jesus really deserve to die?

Luke 22-23 covers the unlawful accusation and trial of Jesus in detail. Read Pilate’s words: 

Pilate

Jesus was unjustly punished in the name of justice—for the sake of pleasing crowds and unifying politicians. In reality, the Resurrection proved that Jesus is who He says He is. 

Innocent God died in the place of wicked man. Christ Jesus became the substitution and atonement for our sin. This is the Gospel! Jesus stood in our place—the sinless and spotless Lamb of God.

The world gradually inches towards alliance and compliance with the work of Satan in every generation. The world will constantly push back against what Jesus is doing in one way or another. The Jews wanted Jesus silenced, they wanted Him dead and Pilate inched towards compliance. Ultimately, they won Pilate over.

Caiaphas was on trial.

The crowd was on trial.

Our sin was on trial.

Jesus is in command.

Jesus paid the price and conquered sin by the power of his holiness.

So, today we celebrate. He conquered sin so that we won’t have to face the same punishment. He died in our place so that we are able to stand righteous before a holy God—made righteous based on the work and merit of Jesus. Romans 10 promises that we have freedom because of Him. 

Bask in the glory of what Jesus has done. Look forward to an eternity where justice rules and reigns.

Peace, mercy, hope, and grace will prevail.

In today’s episode, Brody sits down with Courtney Seifert, a current Snowbird staff member. Courtney shares her story of how the Lord preserved her in the midst of her family collapsing. She shares the collateral damage and consequences that resulted from her Dad’s past sins. The Lord graciously placed a local church body in her life to lean on and encourage her throughout the hardships. The church was there to remind her that she was not alone. 

As Christians, we can look at all the suffering in our lives and know that the Lord is working all those things for our good and His glory. Listen to hear about the Lord’s constant presence throughout Courtney’s life and how we can learn to love those around us who are also experiencing trauma or lingering effects of someone’s sin.

It’s important to recognize and have conversations about our nation's dark past. Instead of erasing history we need to remember it and learn from it. In this episode Brody discusses the balance of remembering the sins of our nation while recognizing God’s sovereignty in it. As a nation, we’ve got a long way to go, but we’ve also come a long way. This world needs Jesus. Let’s remember the milestones in our history while having a Gospel perspective towards our future. The Gospel is the only hope for all people.

In this episode, Brody celebrates the recent salvation of his youngest son, Moses! Their family has been praying for years that Mo would come to understand His need for the Gospel. Parents, don’t think your kids are too young to understand the Gospel. However, we also need to be careful not to nudge our children to make a decision they don’t understand yet. In light of all this Brody discusses a parents role in their child’s faith. 

Samuel is an example of a young believer who increased in wisdom and knowledge despite his youth. Shepherd your children into a knowledge of God by teaching them the commandments of Scripture. Jesus also calls children to follow Him. Let’s raise our sons and daughters in a manner that is Gospel saturated and points them to Jesus.

When culture changes, do we change with it? Do we adapt the Bible to fit the fleeting trends of society? No, as believers, we conform only to the image of Jesus and we hold to the consistency of Scripture. We hold to principles and values that the world doesn’t. In this episode, Brody looks at the authority of Scripture and how it pertains to our lives.

God is not capable of lying, so He’s not capable of error. We know that the Word of God is true because God is true. Scripture reflects and reveals the attributes of God as we know them and gives definition to them. It is full of stories and commands that show us how to live our lives.

We need the Word of God everyday. We need to approach it with a heart of humility and submission, not one of argument or rebellion. It deals with the eternal condition of our souls, and we are to be mastered by it.

In this episode, Brody walks through the ways God has moved from the beginning of time to bring about His plan of salvation for all people. Despite their near constant rebellion, God chose to do this through the nation of Israel. Through this people group, He would bless all of the Earth. God was moving through their suffering, through their peace, all for the purpose of bringing salvation to the brokenness of the world. 

God isn’t just God to the Israelites. We have a new covenant through which Jesus provides salvation for all nations. The early disciples did their part in this by working to fulfill the Great Commission. No matter what is going on in the world, the Gospel will never be quenched. It will endure no matter what.

In this episode, Brody talks with Jonathan Ballou, a missionary who serves in Thailand with his family. They discuss church planting, the importance of language learning, and following the leadership of the Holy Spirit in ministry. Jonathan also shares an incredible testimony of a young man named Pey, who used to worship Buddha while in training to be a monk. At age 14, Pey was captured and forced to join the militia and later faced execution for desertion. Listen to hear about how the Lord used capturing and imprisonment to display His grace in Pey’s life.

It can be hard for us to see that even in the darkest parts of the world the Gospel is advancing, but God is redeeming people from the most broken circumstances every day. The Gospel will prevail! We need to be believers who will take the light of the Gospel and shine it into those dark places. Pray and make an impact.

What we do with the Word of God determines how we view Christ. In this episode, Brody discusses the reliability and authenticity of the Bible by walking through questions like how we got the Bible, why are there different translations, and what are the manuscripts of Scripture? In today’s world, there are constant attacks on Scripture, so we need to be confident in the authority of Scripture and know that it can be trusted. 

God’s word is pivotal to how we approach both Christianity and life. It is sufficient to guide us through every circumstance. Take time to read the Bible and keep a high view of God’s Word. Let it shape your worldview and become the lens through which you view culture, sexuality, marriage, and every aspect of your life.
