Welcome to The Testimony Podcast on Senetru Radio — a chapter-by-chapter journey through The Testimony: The Relentless Pursuit of the Father, written by Kenny and Susannah LaPoint.

Episode 7 | Chapters 7 & 8 — The Witness & The Knowing

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the logos of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death." — Revelation 12:11

This is the witness that makes everything else in this book more than a story about people we read about.

Throughout this book we have provided scriptural testimony — the account of what Yahweh has said and done across the full arc of history. But scripture without a living witness is a story about people you never met. A witness is someone who testifies to what they have directly seen, heard, and experienced. Their account carries authority because it comes from direct encounter — not inherited information, not book knowledge. And Revelation 12:11 names the Logos of that testimony as the very thing that overcame the enemy.

This episode is that testimony. In Chapters 7 and 8 we read the full account of what Yahweh did in two lives — how He interrupted them, dismantled what self-rule had built in each of them, and brought them into the knowing that this entire book has been describing. Not perfectly. Not without cost. But actually.

"For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known." — 1 Corinthians 13:12

That is what we are pressing toward. That is what all of this has been about.

Episode 6 | Chapter 6 — The Defacement

"I am Yahweh, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to carved images." — Isaiah 42:8

Chapter 5 ended with a question: how did so many people — including people who genuinely wanted to find Him — end up with something so completely different from what Yahweh offered? Something happened between the original and what most people were handed. Chapter 6 answers that question.

A defacement does not destroy the original entirely. It obscures it — altering the fundamental nature and structure while still claiming to be the real thing. The most effective defacement is the one that goes undetected, the one that has been in place so long it seems normal. And that is precisely where those who claim the name of Yahweh stand today.

The defacement did not begin at the Council of Nicaea. It began at the foot of Mount Sinai. Yahweh offered the people a direct covenant — a nation of priests, every person standing before Him without institutional mediation, His law written within them. The people said yes. Then He moved toward them, and the exposure was more than they were willing to bear. They told Moses: you go speak to God for us. And in that refusal, performance began filling the space where surrender had been rejected. The golden calf was not a turn toward a foreign god. Aaron called it by Yahweh's name. They declared it was the god who brought them out of Egypt. The name was kept. The living God was replaced by an image that could be approached on their terms, managed from a safe distance, performed for without full exposure. Every institutional structure that followed was a variation of the same move.

The enemy's strategy was never to make people hate God. Hatred generates resistance. What he needed was a world that worshiped a version of Him that was no longer Yahweh — close enough to deceive, different enough to be powerless. That strategy has not changed. What exists today is a false Christ who has been declared to be the Father Himself, collapsing the distinction between sender and sent, closing the path to the Father the Son was always pointing toward. John names this move directly: the antichrist spirit that denies the Father and the Son — not verbally, but functionally, by merging them into one identity so that the Father is no longer a distinct relational target.

The structural defacement was formalized at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD and completed at the Council of Constantinople in 381, when the Trinity doctrine was fully formed. Yahweh — the singular Most High God, source and origin of all life — was made one member of a three-part committee. What followed in 382 was a translation of Scripture into Latin through a doctrinal filter already set. The character of Yahweh was redefined by council, fixed by creed, and embedded in translation — before most people had any ability to test what they were receiving.

Two words in Scripture carry more of the weight of this defacement than any others. Logos — the living will and intent of Yahweh, how His purpose is expressed and enacted — was translated into the word word, linguistically fusing the living presence of Yahweh with the concept of a written document. Whoever controls the interpretation of the book now controls access to Yahweh. And agape — the covenantal alignment between Yahweh and His children, received through surrender, poured out by His Spirit — was translated into love, reducing it to an emotion the self tries to manufacture. Both translations did not happen by accident. Both served the same institutional purpose.

The greatest lie embedded in this defacement is the one most universally believed: that sin separates you from Yahweh. This lie made institutional mediation permanently necessary. It convinced every person who needed Him most that their condition disqualified them from approaching Him directly. But Scripture does not support it. The Lamb of God was slain from the foundation of the world — before the first human breath, the answer to the sin question was already established. The wall was never there. What the institution declared as the defining rupture of human history had already been answered in eternity before it occurred in time.

"Neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing shall be able to separate us from the agape of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." — Romans 8:38–39

The defacement is real. The damage is visible. But the original remains. Yahweh has not moved.

Episode 5 | Chapter 5 — The Cost

"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." — Matthew 7:13–14

Salvation is free. It will also cost you everything.

Chapter 4 established how the calling works — Yahweh's initiative, the logos planted, the second birth. Chapter 5 answers the question that follows: what does it actually require of the one who is called?

The institution handed people a transaction. Say this prayer, acknowledge the right facts, receive eternal life — done. Come back next week. This chapter traces exactly how that happened: two true verses quietly stripped of everything that followed them, grace redefined as permission to live unchanged, faith reduced to intellectual agreement, and an entire civilization of people handed a stopping point where the real offer was asking them to go further than they had ever gone.

The Greek tells a different story. Charis — grace — is the enabling power that makes it possible to surrender and hold it. Pistis — faith — is total orientation, complete alignment, whole-body trust directed toward Yahweh. Neither one is a one-time transaction you complete and file away. Paul is describing an active, ongoing, costly transformation — not the entry alone, but everything that follows the entry.

Jesus called himself the door — and a door is not a destination. He named the destination in John 14: the Father. The institution collapsed the door into the destination and handed people a Jesus-shaped stopping point. But Jesus spent his entire life pointing through himself and toward Yahweh. When you understand what he was actually pointing toward, the cost changes significantly.

"So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple." — Luke 14:33

That is the cost. Not most of it. Not the parts that are easy to hand over. All of it. Jesus frames this as something you calculate before you start — not to decide if it's worth doing, but to decide honestly whether you are actually committed to finishing it. And he leaves no room for partial commitment. The narrow gate is too constricted to carry anything through — including the version of yourself you have been managing and protecting. Paul puts it plainly in Galatians 2:20: it is no longer I who live. Not improved. Not managed. Gone. Replaced by the governing center Jesus himself carried — the logos of Yahweh, now living where the self used to live.

The enemy knew exactly what he was doing when he removed the cost from the offer. Because the only parts that cost anything are the only parts that actually produce anything real.

"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me." — Galatians 2:20

Episode 4 | Chapter 4 — The Calling

"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. For the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." — John 4:23-24

Chapter 3 showed the pattern — ten lives across Scripture that demonstrated what full surrender to Yahweh looks like. Chapter 4 answers the question those lives raise: how does it happen? What actually occurs when Yahweh calls someone, and what comes after?

The answer begins with something most people were never told. You do not choose Yahweh. He chooses you. The calling is His initiative entirely.

All that the Father gives me will come to me. — John 6:37.

The sequence is known before it unfolds. He is not calling into uncertainty. He already knows who He is calling and what that call will produce in them. When He calls, the one being called comes — not because they have no agency, but because Yahweh knows exactly who He has made them to be.

What the call produces is a second birth. The first birth is of flesh — the only operating platform anyone knows until Yahweh moves. The second birth is of Spirit. Not a decision made, not a prayer recited, not an altar call responded to. The logos of Yahweh — His living will and intent — is planted into His children the way a seed is planted in ground.

Having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the living and abiding logos of God. — 1 Peter 1:23.

It is not something you produce. You only respond when it comes.

After the seed is planted, something shifts. The orientation changes. Where the flesh pulls downward toward self-rule and its endless demands, the Spirit pulls upward toward Yahweh. This is not white-knuckled effort or self-discipline. It is a seed growing in the direction of its source.

But this is also where the enemy moves in — and this is where the chapter delivers its most important warning.

The greatest deceptions are not aimed at obvious destruction. They are aimed precisely at those in whom the logos has just been planted — the ones who feel the pull, the ones who genuinely hunger for something real. What the enemy offers them is not darkness. He offers religion. Ritual. Performance. A door with Yahweh's name on it that does not lead to Yahweh. The parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13 names the mechanism exactly: while men slept — before discernment has formed — the enemy comes in behind the planting and sows lies in the same soil. Tares are biologically indistinguishable from wheat through their entire growth phase. They do not simply fail to nourish. They produce confusion, stupor, and the appearance of being fed while actively working against the one consuming them.

For the Galatians it was circumcision — flesh dressed as spiritual completion. For people today it is church attendance, scripture memorization, devotions, tithing, water baptism, ritual communion, and the belief that a credentialed professional is your avenue to know Yahweh. The institution trains you to need it. It positions itself as the interpreter, the authority through which you are permitted to understand what Yahweh is saying — the same move the Levitical system made at Sinai when the people said, Do not let God speak to us. The institution has been standing in that gap ever since, maintaining a distance the true covenant was designed to close.

The worship Yahweh is seeking is not a service attended or a performance delivered. It is a life surrendered — the logos planted within, reaching back toward its source, the Spirit in you responding to the Spirit of Yahweh. Not on a schedule. Not through a building. From the inside, as the actual condition of your life.

This is what the calling produces. Not a religious person with better theology. A surrendered life with a new governing authority, a planted logos, and a Father who moves when it is time to move.

Episode 3 | Chapter 3 — The Pattern

"These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth." — Hebrews 11:13

Chapter 1 traced the pursuit across the full arc of Scripture. Chapter 2 uncovered the heart behind it. Chapter 3 makes it personal.

Ten lives. Ten people across the span of Scripture who heard the same call, responded to it completely, and were never the same. Not heroes of religious performance. Not figures to be admired from a distance and filed away as relics of a bygone era. People who lived the covenant offer — fully surrendered, nothing withheld — and in doing so, showed what it looks like when Yahweh's pursuit is met with a yes.

Noah built for something not yet visible. Abraham left for a city whose builder and maker is Yahweh, with no destination given and no map — just a voice to follow and a promise. Sarah believed for what her own body said was impossible. Moses carried a covenant offer to a people who refused it, looking toward Christ the whole time. David carried the law within his heart long before Jeremiah declared it, a man after Yahweh's own heart who ran toward Him when everyone else ran away. Isaiah was undone, cleansed, and sent — not by his own preparation but by direct encounter. Hosea lived the heartbreak of Yahweh's own pursuit in his own marriage, loving what kept walking away. Ruth came to Yahweh from outside the covenant people entirely, called by nothing she had been handed and everything she had witnessed. Mary said yes to carrying the Messiah with no framework for what that meant and everything to lose. Paul had every credential the religious system could offer — and had all of it dismantled so that what remained was Christ alone.

Ten lives. One pattern. Full surrender to Yahweh, the law written on the heart, a life oriented completely toward Him — and in every case, the encounter was real, the cost was everything, and what Yahweh did in response was what only He could do.

The chapter culminates in Jesus — the pattern lived out in a single human life without remainder. Not the first to surrender, but the one all of them were pointing toward. The firstborn of many. Which means the pattern did not end with Him. It continued in everyone who came after Him and surrendered the same way.

"And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise." — Galatians 3:29

These were not extraordinary people. They were surrendered people. And the pattern that ran through every one of their lives is the same pattern that is available to anyone He calls today.

Episode 2 | Chapter 2 — The Heart

"Yahweh, Yahweh God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin." — Exodus 34:6-7

That is the heart this chapter is about.

Chapter 1 established the through-line — the pursuit that never stopped, the offer that never changed. Chapter 2 goes behind that pursuit and asks the question most people have never been given an honest answer to: who is the One doing the pursuing? What is He actually like? And how different is He from the version most people were handed?

He is not the authoritarian deity of institutional Christianity. He is not the permissive affirmer of modern culture. He is not the distant, angry male authority the world has constructed. Nor is He the version of Yahweh that has been conflated with His Son. Every one of those is a blasphemed version that He absorbs without pause, while continuing the pursuit of those who are going to respond to His call in surrender.

He is a Father who has never stopped covering His children. He carries everything a mother is. He does not change. And everything He has ever done has been in pursuit of one thing — not compliance, not performance, not religious activity. A family.

For I am Yahweh, I do not change; therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob. — Malachi 3:6

This is the heart behind the pursuit.

Episode 1 | Book Overview & Chapter 1 — The Pursuit

"I will put my laws in their mind and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." — Hebrews 8:10

This is the kickoff episode of The Testimony Podcast — and it begins with the single declaration that runs through the entirety of true Scripture without change, without revision, and without end.

Kenny and Susannah open with an overview of the book — how it came to be, what it is, and who it is for. The Testimony is the seventh book in the Senetru series and the first co-authored by both of them. It exists because Yahweh has been misrepresented, misinterpreted, and buried under a false version of His own Son for nearly two thousand years. The people who thought they were following Him were handed someone else. The people who rejected Him were right to reject what they were given — they just weren't rejecting Yahweh. This book is not about convincing anyone of anything. It is a resource for those He has already called, so that when the call comes, they know they are not alone in what they are experiencing.

Chapter 1 — The Pursuit — is the entire through-line of Scripture condensed into one chapter. Not the stories most people were handed in Sunday school, disconnected and isolated, each one reduced to a moral takeaway. This is the actual story. The clean version, straight through. What happened between all the fluff. And the thread that runs through it, from the very first recorded instance when Abel turned his heart toward Yahweh, to the final pages of Revelation where heaven and earth are restored and the declaration reaches its conclusion, never changes.

I will be your God and you will be My people.

"In the volume of the book it is written of Me, to do Your will, O God." — Hebrews 10:7

The entirety of true Scripture points to one thing. Not a system, not a building, not a ritual — a life completely given to Yahweh's will, the law written within, surrender itself as the offering.

The pursuit that never stopped. The Father who never quit. The offer that never changed.

Episode 9 | Chapters 10 & 11 — God's Intended Order and Not of This World

"Unless Yahweh builds the house, they labor in vain who build it." — Psalm 127:1

This is the final episode of the Broken Cisterns podcast — and it ends where everything was always pointing: surrender to Yahweh as the only foundation that actually holds.

Chapter 10 confronts one of the most misunderstood and most misrepresented topics in both the institutional church and modern culture — God's intended order for covenant partnership. What has been handed down through centuries of institutional Christianity is a counterfeit version — a man lording authority over a woman, a hierarchy of human control dressed in spiritual language. That is not what this chapter is about. What Yahweh's intended order actually looks like is two people, both fully surrendered to Him, both receiving direction from the same Source, both covered — not one ruling over the other, but both yielded together under Him.

Kenny and Susannah share 25 years of marriage — 23 of which were marked by survival mode, competing self-rule, and the kind of fracture that nearly ended everything. No communication method fixed it. No program held. No amount of effort produced what only Yahweh could build. When they were called into His order in early 2025, it was not a transfer of control from one person to the other. It was both of them surrendering to the same Source — and discovering that when two people receive direction from the same Spirit, there is nothing left to contest.

The result is not a method. It is supernatural. The desires align. The information matches. The fracture closes — not because they worked harder, but because they stopped working against the only One who could actually build what they were trying to build themselves.

Chapter 11 speaks directly to everyone who has never fit in. Who has always known something was wrong — not with themselves specifically, but with the world they were trying to fit into. Who has tried alcohol, or New Age ceremony, or breathwork, or religion, or self-improvement, or therapy — and found that the lift was always temporary. That it was never designed to be permanent. Because the tools of one kingdom cannot fix a problem that only a different kingdom can address.

The wrongness you feel is not a symptom of not trying hard enough. It is not a trauma layer you have not excavated yet. It is accurate. You are picking up a real signal. And no amount of effort inside this kingdom will resolve what is actually a kingdom problem.

And if Yahweh is calling you, you will know it. Every single one He calls will come.

Episode 8 | Chapter 9 — Faith and Trust

Faith and trust are not just nice ideas. Like a lot of words that have woven their way through our language over centuries, they have lost most of their meaning along the way. They have become flattened — familiar enough to say, empty enough to mean almost nothing.

In this episode we go deep into two of the most commonly used and least understood words in Scripture — and in life. Faith. Trust. Both have been handed to us as feelings to access, emotions to generate, or performances to maintain. None of that is a definition. And none of it holds when something you actually value is on the line.

What these words actually meant in their original languages is almost unrecognizable compared to what we have been handed. Faith was a public, life-orienting declaration of loyal allegiance — not a feeling, a posture. Trust literally means to lean your full weight on something. Not from a distance. Actual contact. Actual transfer of weight.

None of these are feelings. None of them are one-time decisions. They all describe a demonstrated, sustained, weight-bearing posture — your whole life oriented, your full weight leaned on Yahweh rather than on yourself.

This episode also confronts one of the most pervasive lies running through both the institutional church and the self-help world: that faith and trust are produced through performance. Read your Bible. Go to church. Visualize. Affirm. Do more. But as Paul wrote to the Galatians — who has bewitched you? — performance is an act of the flesh. It replaces relationship. It replaces the actual knowing of God. And it has nothing to do with what Yahweh saw in Noah before he ever built an ark, or what was revealed in Abraham when God accredited him with righteousness.

Faith is the orientation — the declaration of allegiance through the full surrender of your life. Trust is what gets built when you put your weight on Him and He holds. And between the declaration and the bone-level trust that doesn't move even when everything on top is shaking, there is a gap. That gap is where most people bail. Patient endurance — choosing to remain under the weight of the process without grabbing back control — is what you do in that gap. Not willpower. Not white-knuckling. Staying, while Yahweh does what only He can do.

The fire burns off what was never really trust to begin with — the words that sounded right, the affirmations, the trusting the universe that evaporated the moment something real was on the line. What is left after the fire is what was always real.

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." — Hebrews 11:1

"The just shall live by his faith." — Habakkuk 2:4

Your faith doesn't manufacture the outcome. It establishes your claim to it. And Yahweh performs the promise.

Episode 7 | Chapters 7 & 8 — Agapē and The Wilderness

Two chapters. One sequence. And you cannot skip either one.

This episode begins with one of the most consequential translation failures in Scripture — the word agapē. Somewhere in the journey from first-century Greek into modern English, a word that described a covenantal posture of complete alignment with the Father's will was flattened into an emotion. A feeling to manufacture. Something you were supposed to generate inside yourself and maintain through effort. The church called it love. The New Age called it love and light. Both got it wrong in the same direction — making agapē something the self produces rather than something the self receives when it finally stops obstructing it.

Agapē is not a feeling. It is not warmth. It is not something you can fail at for not feeling it enough. It is alignment with Yahweh's will — a posture of the will, not a mood of the heart. And it cannot be manufactured, imported, or assumed into existence. This episode looks at what happens when imported assumptions about love are carried into Scripture unchallenged — and what it costs when the actual meaning gets lost.

Then comes the wilderness. Nobody warns you about it. Not really. You can hear the word a hundred times in sermons about Israel and still not know what it actually is until you find yourself in one — stripped, dry, unfamiliar, with every source of comfort suddenly out of reach and nothing left in the silence but you and Yahweh and everything in you that still doesn't trust Him.

The wilderness is not a punishment. It is not a season to survive. It is the refiner's fire — deliberate, precise, and patient. What the fire is after is the root — not just the fruit of self-rule, but the thing underneath that keeps producing it. That is remission. That is the circumcision of the heart the New Covenant actually promises. And it goes exactly as deep as it needs to go.

This episode walks through what that season actually looked like — the grief, the fasting, the laying down and grabbing back and laying down again — and what was found on the other side of it.

"Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." — Hebrews 12:11

First the fire. Then the fruit. Not simultaneously. Not quickly. After.
