Episode 39

Marxist activism in the United States has left criminals emboldened, police departments embattled, and regular citizens vulnerable, wondering how they should protect their families. What should you do to protect your family from those who would do them harm? Who can you trust to protect your family when seconds count? Should you get a gun? How can we keep our families safe with guns in the home? What should the relationship be between children and firearms?

FB is a husband, small business owner, and father of a number children. He joins us on this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast discuss these questions and more.

Episode 38

In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we discuss the subject of Jesus' ethnicity. In a recent interview, CNN anchor Don Lemon declared that in order to heal America's apparent racism problem, we must acknowledge that Jesus was black, or at least brown. He went on to encourage families to hang pictures of this Jesus in their homes, teaching children what he calls "the truth." Is he right? What does the bible say about the ethnicity of Jesus? Does it even matter? What problems can be healed by Jesus' ethnicity? 

Join us as we explore this topic and discover the truth about Jesus' ethnicity.

Episode 36

A woke LGBTQ activist who claims to be a pastor recently took to TikTok to teach his 132,300 followers that Jesus was a racist who repented once a Gentile spoke truth to power. But is this actually true? Did Jesus use a racial slur? Was he racist? What does the passage actually say?

Join us on this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast where we evaluate these outrageous claims and filter them through the sieve of scripture to find out what Jesus was actually saying and what that means for us today.

Episode 35

In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we discussed the shooting incident involving Nika Holbert and officer Baker.  Rather than focusing on facts versus misinformation, or even on who was right or wrong based on those facts, we focused on the human beings involved. Human life is precious. So precious, in fact, that God sent His only begotten Son to die for us.

In this episode we addressed the calloused comments made about Nika, the dangers of looking at the facts and neglecting the human being behind the facts, the cultural aspects that may lead to people like Nika, what things can be done to reach folks like Nika, and what she should represent to Bible believing Christians.

Episode 34

When Ravi Zacharias died he left a devastating web of abused women, betrayed friends and family, and disappointed Christians in his wake. Posthumous investigations brought to the limelight his secret life of unrepentant sin, and for millions of professing Christians, hindsight became 20/20 as they tried to pick up the pieces. What did we miss? How should we respond? How can we be more vigilant moving forward? 

Pastor Todd helps us tackle these questions and more on this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast.

DW joined us in this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast where we discussed whether salvation is by works or by grace alone through faith alone.

We looked at a number of good works and searched the scriptures as to whether they are capable of saving us from eternal separation from a holy God. Some of the good works we looked at are:

We then explored the scriptures to determine if salvation is by grace or by faith. Are the books of James and Romans contradictory? Was Jesus proclaiming salvation by works when he declared, “I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat?”

What about the Old Testament? Was salvation by works or by grace back then? What about in the New Testament?

We concluded the episode with DW explaining how Jesus satisfied the Father in Isaiah 53:11 (“He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied”) with His death, burial and resurrection according to the scriptures.

Episode 31

In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, MD joined us in discussing the circumstances surrounding the shootings involving Kyle Rittenhouse.

Was he at a protest protected by the first amendment or was he at a riot? 

What difference will that make in is trial? 

Was it wise for a 17 year old to be out helping in such a volatile/hostile situation? 

Were the police negligent when they drove past him?

Is there any blame to be laid at the parents’ feet?

We then looked at all the charges against Kyle Rittenhouse and offered our verdict in the court of the Removing Barriers Podcast: Innocent or guilty? Murderer or self-defender?

The episode ends like we end all others: with a clear presentation of the gospel.

Episode 30

BLM - 5

The police has been the target of much social backlash recently. A lot of that backlash has come from the Black Lives Matter movement. Technology has made it quite easy to run into our own corners and just talk with folks who agree with our stances. Therefore, we at the Removing Barriers Podcast wanted to give the police a voice to share their side of the story, to share their heart on the matter.

In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we sat down with Officer CigarBro (obviously not his real name and his jurisdiction will remain unknown). We discussed why he became a police officer, the dangers of being a police officer, and general policing practices. We also discussed the procedures to follow if pulled over and how to respond and behave with law enforcement.

However, most of our time was spent discussing social justice and policing. We discussed the Breonna Taylor and Jacob Blake shootings, and we got Officer CigarBro’s professional opinion on the death of George Floyd and his gut feeling on the pending trials. We also discussed qualified immunity, whether there is a code or culture about police officers correcting each other in public, and the public push to defund/dismantle the police.

We concluded the episode with Officer CigarBro sharing his heart as a police officer and with a clear presentation of the gospel. The gospel is the only truth that can change the direction of our country, of the police, and of human hearts.

This episode is much longer than all other episodes thus far but it will be worth a listen.
