Episode 19

The subject of “interracial” marriage has been a sore thumb in Christendom for many years now. Is the Bible silent in this area? Is it unbiblical or sinful for people of different ethnicities to marry? We sat down with Sam and Allissa to discuss their unique perspectives on the issue. 

Colloquially, Sam is black and Allissa is white. They have been married for a number of years now and have 3 children. Learn more about their “interracial” marriage, their views on Loving v.s. Virginia, and their opinion on the past BJU rule against interracial dating. 

We ended the episode both with a plea for the church to be at the forefront of these issues and with the a presentation of the gospel — the same gospel that removes all racial issues and places us all united at the foot of the cross.

**There are some audio quality issues in this episode, but the content is good so I wanted to put it out there anyway.

Episode 18

In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we sat down with Dr. Michael Baldwin to discuss the racial past of the U.S. and how the church handled the issue.

As a Bible believing Christian, Dr. Baldwin found no pleasure in some of the hard things he had to say, but they needed to be said in order to expose the hurt and the racial tensions of the past, and to promote healing for the present.

Conversations matter! Some of the things that were said in this podcast were difficult things to say, but we can no longer sweep these things under the rug. The chickens have come home to roost. While the church may have failed to biblically handle the racial divide of the past, we can do a better job of handling our current day issues. Let’s talk about these things in our churches and among God’s people with the love of Christ ruling the conversation.

Without conversation, change will not happen, and without action, love and understanding will not be shown. Give this episode a listen. Racial reconciliation occurred in Christ, so let’s walk in it.

Episode 17

In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we sat down with Evangelist David Sommerdorf to discuss the great god Entertainment. Entertainment has silently replace Christ in the life of Christians and has become an idol in today’s culture. 

Is it ok to watch whatever content that is produced? What principles should we follow when deciding whether the content we are about to consume is wholesome? Is the Bible silent on these issues? Listen as brother Dave eloquently expounds on the Word of God and offers biblical principles on how we should address entertainment in our lives.

We ended the episode with counsel from the Bible on how we can slay the god of entertainment in our lives, and a clear presentation of the gospel for those who are lost.

Ten principles of the Word of God:

Episode 15

In this episode, Pastor Kyle joined us to discuss Reaching Youths in a Changing Culture. In 1 Chronicles 12:32 

“And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times”… Oh how desperately we need parents and Christians who have understanding of the times.

In our current culture, our kids and youths are most affected. So how do we raise them? How do we point our teenagers back to God? Pastor Kyle gave solid advice and ended the show with a presentation of gospel as the greatest need for youths today.

Episode 14

Part 3

This is the third of a 3-part series on the Sad State of Basic Theology. We continued the discussion with a basic study of the Holy Spirit and a discussion about whether Jesus was a created being or God incarnate. What professing christians believe about these issues would surprise even the non-believer.

We ended the episode by presenting the fact that Christ had to be God to be able to die for our sins. If He is not God, then he is in need of a saviour himself. But since He is God, He was able to die for our sins. It is through repentant faith in his finished work that everyone must be saved.

This is the second of a 3-part series on the Sad State of Basic Theology. We continued the discussion with gender identity and the biblical view of human sexuality.

Series: How Were Your Barriers Removed - 1

In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast we started a monthly series called How Were Your Barriers Removed? In these episodes we will be discovering what barriers prevented our guests from coming to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and how those barriers were eventually removed.

You will meet Brendon in this episode. Even though he was raised in a “Christian” home, it was not until his early 20’s that he saw his own sinfulness, repented, and trusted Jesus as his savior. 

We ended the episode with Brendon sharing the gospel. The same gospel that saved him is the same gospel that will save you.
