Have you ever gone into a gym and watched people work out by piling on an insane amount of weight? Looks impressive, right? Coaches call this ego lifting. You're lifting for short term gains, to impress other people, and destroying your joints in the process. And in the gym of the church world, Christians do it all the time. This conversation between me and Pastor Duke Lamastra will dive into what it means to be a disciple of Jesus and the value of preserving your connections (joints).   Order the book, Unveiled Horizon - Reflections on the Nature of God: https://www.amazon.com/Unveiled-Horizon-Reflections-Nature-God/dp/B0BC63LLQV/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662729092&sr=8-1   Website Link: https://billvanderbush.com   Christic Covenant Bible Study: https://hebrewsstudy.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/billvanderbush/   Instagram: @billosopher59 and @biblestudywithbill   Twitter: @billvanderbush   Featured music  Michael Giffone: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giffone/1410403490

There have been so many Tuesday nights sitting around the fire or the piano where the conversations and teachings have been such that the thought has crossed my mind that this needs to be shared. I hope you have a community of discipleship where you can learn and grow in grace and the knowledge of Jesus. If you don't, consider yourself adopted by us. It's with great joy that I occasionally share these nights with you on this podcast, but you can join us live by Zoom every week.

What do we mean when we talk about the glory of God? In this live recording from a ministry school class, Bill unpacks the glory of God from both the Old and New Testament and reveals that glory is both our interitance and destiny. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit, the ark of the New Covenant. Does that notion weigh heave upon you? It should. We are empowered by a glory that would crush us were it not for the grace of God.   Order the book, Unveiled Horizon - Reflections on the Nature of God: https://www.amazon.com/Unveiled-Horizon-Reflections-Nature-God/dp/B0BC63LLQV/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662729092&sr=8-1   Website Link: https://billvanderbush.com   Christic Covenant Bible Study: https://hebrewsstudy.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/billvanderbush/   Instagram: @billosopher59 and @biblestudywithbill   Twitter: @billvanderbush   Featured music  Michael Giffone: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giffone/1410403490

When it's all said and done, this may be the strangest conversation about Christmas you've ever heard, and yet it also may be one of the most moving. I pray these musings on the incarnation leave you with all the right questions.   Order Unveiled Horizon: https://www.amazon.com/Unveiled-Horizon-Reflections-Nature-God/dp/B0BC63LLQV/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662729092&sr=8-1   Website Link: https://billvanderbush.com   Hebrews Study: https://hebrewsstudy.com   Ephesians Study: http://christiccovenant.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/billvanderbush/   Instagram: @billosopher59 and @biblestudywithbill   Twitter: @billvanderbush

Take a ride in real time up a mountain with me as we explore what happens when God himself confronts our perspectives of his goodness.

Do you believe that God needs to wipe out humanity to deal with all the sin in the world? You might remember from the Bible, that's been done before. Judgment and curses will never cure the sin problem. Only the cross and blood of Jesus Christ could do that. And it has. In 2 Peter 3 there is the warning of future judgment, so what are we to make of this in light of the new (Christic) covenant? That's what this podcast will deal with today. We're not proof texting here to fit a preconceived notion into a theological construct. I used to be a staunch dispensationalist, rapture seeker, and hellfire and brimstone preacher. It's amazing how a little study and education, and an encounter with the Holy Spirit, can expand your understanding of the goodness of God. But that requires swallowing your pride, admitting you were wrong, and seeing with new eyes the things of God you didn't understand before. I'm now delighted to be wrong about things I should have never believed. Are you on the same journey? Then I welcome you to walk with me.   Order Unveiled Horizon: https://www.amazon.com/Unveiled-Horizon-Reflections-Nature-God/dp/B0BC63LLQV/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662729092&sr=8-1   Website Link: https://billvanderbush.com   New Covenant Study: https://hebrewsstudy.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/billvanderbush/   Instagram: @billosopher59 and @biblestudywithbill   Twitter: @billvanderbush   Featured music  Michael Giffone: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giffone/1410403490

Join me for a raw, authentic, and profoundly beautiful conversation with Grammy nominated, Dove Award winning, musical prodigy, an semi-unintentional poster child for the modern deconstruction movement, Michael Gungor. If you've followed his journey at all, you know that the pendulum of his life swung from being a minstral for evangelicalism all the way to spending a year of his life as an atheist. Where is he now? Still walking. And so are you. The journey of finding rest in reconciled untion with God in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit is a rich walk home. Walk together.    Michael Gungor's Music: http://www.gungormusic.com   Order Unveiled Horizon: https://www.amazon.com/Unveiled-Horizon-Reflections-Nature-God/dp/B0BC63LLQV/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662729092&sr=8-1   Website Link: https://billvanderbush.com   New Covenant Study: https://hebrewsstudy.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/billvanderbush/   Instagram: @billosopher59 and @biblestudywithbill   Twitter: @billvanderbush   Featured music  Michael Giffone: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giffone/1410403490

If the first Adam (and Eve) pretty much threw the entirety of humanity into the ditch, surely Jesus has a proportional amount of strength to lift us out. What was the point of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and what about the serpent? So many questions, and I know you've got em too. So let's explore some solutions within the mystery of the Gospel and the grace of the cross of Christ. Your purpose and destiny in this life is not just to avoid sinning. It's far more than anything having to do with sin. Join Bill and a few friends for a Bible study that includes some great commentary and insight at the end.   Order Unveiled Horizon: https://www.amazon.com/Unveiled-Horizon-Reflections-Nature-God/dp/B0BC63LLQV/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662729092&sr=8-1   Website Link: https://billvanderbush.com   New Covenant Study: https://hebrewsstudy.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/billvanderbush/   Instagram: @billosopher59 and @biblestudywithbill   Twitter: @billvanderbush   Featured music  Michael Giffone: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giffone/1410403490
