Removing Barriers

Episode 135

**This episode will discuss elements of the LGTBQ agenda in varying degrees of detail. Parental discretion is advised.**

A viral video captured by one of the investigative journalists at TimCast shows an LGBTQIA+ march in which participants chant "We're here, we're queer, we're coming for your children!" It has served as a lightning rod for parents of all political and religious stripes to stiffen resolve and take action against this particular agenda. Supporters doubled down, insisting it was taken out of context just as when the San Francisco Gay Chorus sang it two years ago. Others allege the chant was the product of an agitator and not representative of the LGBTQIA+ community, while a smaller percentage shrug it off as a bad joke. No one is laughing, however, and parents across the country are seeking solutions to stop the madness. In this episode, we'll explore the chant and the responses to it, opening the scriptures to seek the only solution that will matter for eternity: the gospel.

Episode 134

**This episode will discuss elements of the LGTBQ agenda in varying degrees of detail. Parental discretion is advised.**

The United States has been stumped by a very simple question posed by Daily Wire's Matt Walsh: What is a Woman? However, there are other more important questions that need to be answered, like why in the world are we confused about this? How did we get to this point as a nation? What does the Bible say a woman is? In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we sit down in person with recurring guest MD to see if we can take a crack at answering these questions, hopefully sharing some clarity on something that the Creator established and settled over 6000 years ago.

Episode 133

In modern English parlance, the word "church" is either a hierarchical organization or an activity people do on the weekend. Rarely is it defined as the scriptures define it: a people bought by the shed blood of Christ, called out of the world to reconcile the world to God for the glory of God. On this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we sit down with pastor John Leber to scratch the surface of this word, "church;" what or who it is, what is it supposed to do, and why does it matter? Prayerfully, this episode will help us realign our thinking about this entity with what God has already established in His Word.

Episode 132

The death of Tyre Nichols at the hands of 5 police officers was a shocking instance of police brutality that the country united in denouncing outright. The outrage seemed somewhat muted compared to the response to George Floyd's killing, but many question whether racial tensions may have had a role to play, since all involved were black. Did these officers exhibit "internalized racism" and were thus "the black face of white supremacy" as the left contends? Or was this an instance of the sinfulness of man on full display? Join us on this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast as we explore these questions and seek a biblical answer in the face of such great evil.

Episode 131

Series: How Were Your Barriers Removed - 35

In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we are delighted to hear the testimony of Charity. Charity is in full time Christian ministry, but that was not always the case. In fact, for an extended amount of time, she thought she was saved because a pastor prayed a prayer with her and declared her so. But she didn't understand the gospel and she was seeking her mother's approval. It wasn't until she met a special young man who introduced her to the gospel of Jesus Christ with a warm joke and genuine concern that she came to understand her need for the Savior. Let us listen to her testimony and praise God for His goodness, never allowing ourselves to become used to God's love and power in providing salvation to all who turn to Him!

Episode 128

Series: On the Mission Field - 13

In many countries around the world, the name of Jesus Christ is still unknown and the people are as yet unreached. Nepal is home to nearly 31 million souls, 1.5% of which claim the title 'Christian' and only the Lord knows how many of that small percentage are genuine born-again believers. In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we have the honor of interviewing Missionary John, whom God has called to reach the people of Nepal. We will learn about the challenges of this field, and how God is working to remove the barriers Hinduism, Buddhism, and other religions pose to salvation.

May 24th, 2023 Update

At 23:28 in the recording, Missionary John was asked "How do you share the Gospel in the culture like that? Would you agree that it is a shame/honor culture in that area of the world, and how would you go about doing that?" His response was, "I would agree that it is certainly motivated a lot more by guilt." He meant to say "shame."

Also at 26:25 in the recording, Missionary John said that Silas was with Paul in Acts 14. That was incorrect. He meant to say Barnabas was with Paul.

Episode 127

The World Health Organization has declared the COVID-19 pandemic officially over. The nation has changed quite dramatically since the spring of 2020, both for better and for worse. In this episode, we look back at the pandemic and try to make sense of what we just went through. There were significant economic, social, spiritual consequences of the pandemic and our response to it. In many important ways, the pandemic (along with the Trump and Biden presidencies) pulled the wool off our eyes, allowing us to see a more complete and honest picture of the state of our institutions, our people, and our country. What are someways (both good and bad) the pandemic affected you? Let us know in the comments section below.

Episode 126

All of us can remember times in our lives when we pretty much solved some of the world's problems right from our living rooms. "If I were in a position, I would do this or that!" Indeed, there are some problems that are only as complex as we allow our flesh to make them, but others are quite complex even without the added curse of sin and all its atrocious effects. Could racism be one of those problems? What is the answer to racism? In any country where the scourge has been outlawed and citizens seek to live peaceably together without discrimination, it has been a persistent thorn in the side. In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast McG and Jay sit down with recurring guest Sam to discuss how we can find the answer to this monumental problem in the U.S.
