  • RBP 18: Racial Relations and the Church

    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.

        • RBP 17: The Great god Entertainment

          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:

          1. Appearance -  1 Thessalonians 5:22
          2. Simplicity -  Romans 16:19
          3. Conformity - Romans 12:2
          4. Provision - Romans 13:14
          5. Stumbling-Block - Romans 14:13
          6. Sincerity - Colossians 3:23
          7. Glorification - 1 Corinthians 10:31
          8. Thankfulness - 1 Thessalonians 5:18
          9. Practical - Colossians 2:6
          10. Redemption - Ephesians 5:16:  Does it redeem the time or waste it?

                    Episode 16

                    Series: How Were Your Barriers Removed - 2

                    In this episode, we learned about the barriers that were preventing Jacob from coming to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, how those barriers were removed, and what he is doing now to help others remove barriers that may be preventing them from coming to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

                    Learn about his home state of Kerala and its rich Christian heritage dating all the way back to Thomas, the disciple of Jesus. 

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

                          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.

                                Part 2

                                In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast we continued our discussion with Josh and Marie. We discussed their comfort level with the many racial challenges facing light and dark brown folks in society today and we got their perspectives on these issues.

                                We ended the show with the solution to social justice: the love which Christ demonstrated on the cross and repentant faith in His finished work.

                                This is part one of the conversation, so make sure to listen to episode 13 for the concluding discussion.

                                We ended the episode with Josh challenging the church to be what it ought to be: the church body that is united in Christ.

                                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.

                                If there was ever a group of folks who should believe and hold to the biblical view of morality, it should be professing Christians. Listen to this episode as we give a biblical perspective in response to these issues.

                                We ended the episode with a plea for repentance and a turning to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.

                                Episode 10

                                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.

                              • RBP 09: The Sad State of Basic Theology (Part 1 of 3)

                                Episode 9

                                This is the first of a 3-part series on the Sad State of Basic Theology. Recently, Answers in Genesis published an article about a study conducted by Ligonier Ministries. You will be as surprised as we were at what evangelicals  believe about basic doctrines of Bible.

                                Is our culture in the state it is in because there is no difference between the saved and the unsaved? Is the doctrine of the Bible under attack because those who would defend and live by it no longer believe it? Listen to the episode for our answers.

                                We ended the episode with the wonderful hope that can be found in fact that Jesus Christ died, was buried, and resurrected for even our littlest sins, and that through repentant faith in Him, we can be saved.

                              About Removing Barriers

                              From the publisher's feed

                              Many barriers exist that can prevent us from seeing the cross clearly. We want to attempt to remove those barriers and share the gospel.
