Recorded as curriculum for our new E3 School of Ministries, join Bro. Ernie as we dive into The Gospel of St. John.  John’s opening line is not gentle. It grabs you by the collar: “In the beginning was the Word.” We sit down in a simple classroom-style Bible study and walk straight into John 1:1-18, letting Scripture define Scripture as we look at who Jesus is before we ever get to the manger, the miracles, or the cross.

We talk about why John’s Gospel feels different from the other three and how his perspective pushes us toward the divinity of Christ, not just the biography of Jesus of Nazareth. Then we give you four down-to-earth tools for Bible interpretation you can actually use: the principle of first mention, reading for context, complete mention across related passages, and praying while you practice listening for God’s guidance. No intimidation, no gatekeeping, just a clear path for deeper Christian discipleship.

From there we trace “the Word” as God’s communicated concept and eternal plan, using Jeremiah 1 to show how “the word of the Lord” comes as meaning and mission, not merely vocabulary. We connect John’s prologue to Revelation 13:8 and Acts 2 to highlight God’s foreknowledge, then anchor the claim with Colossians 1: Jesus as the image of the invisible God and the One through whom creation holds together.

We also wrestle with one of the most striking themes in Scripture: light before the sun in Genesis 1, and Jesus later saying, “I am the light of the world” in John 8:12. If you’ve wanted a Gospel of John Bible study that is both reverent and practical, this is your next listen.

Forgiveness is a word Christians say easily until you’re staring at the damage someone actually did. We pull up chairs around the table and get unfiltered about betrayal, abuse, family harm, and the kind of heartbreak that makes you build a steel wall around your heart just to survive. Some of us are widowed. Some of us carry pain from marriages and relationships that broke vows and broke trust. And all of us know what it’s like to want justice while still hearing Jesus call us to forgive.

We walk through Bible verses on forgiveness and healing, including Ephesians 4:26–27 and Colossians 3:13, and we talk about the difference between forgiving and going back. Boundaries matter. Trust has to be rebuilt. And God never asks you to keep stepping into toxicity just because someone is “family.” We also talk about what happens when you never get an apology, or when the person who hurt you is already gone, and why forgiveness is still for your freedom.

Along the way we share the raw, human side of anger, the long road of emotional healing, and how Scripture becomes a real weapon when memories keep replaying. If you’ve ever felt weary, burdened, guarded, or ashamed, we point you back to Jesus, the One who won’t reject your brokenness and can heal the rooms you’ve kept locked. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review then tell us: what are you still trying to forgive? (*Recorded 2/18/2026)

Join us "around the table" as we welcome Brother Binu along with Bro. Ernie to discuss Excel Ministries and the impact they are having around the world! 

What if the surest way to change a community is to start with its children—and to serve every family without strings? We welcome Brother Binu Joseph from Kerala, South India, a founding leader of Excel Ministries, to share how a child-first, youth-centered strategy is equipping 300,000 kids each year with Scripture, mentorship, and practical help that strengthens whole neighborhoods.

You’ll hear how Excel built its own VBS curriculum from scratch, translated songs and lessons across more than a dozen languages, and created Excel Hope, a scholarship stream that funds education for children of every faith background. No pressure, no bait-and-switch—just credible love and long-term commitment. We dig into “Thy Word,” a pathway that helps beginners memorize 150 Bible verses in 150 days, then advances them through guided stages with mentors and courses that turn head knowledge into daily practice. Along the way, we talk media-savvy teen discipleship, action songs that make truth stick, and why honoring India’s laws has opened more doors than breaking them ever could.

The conversation widens to family culture and daily devotion—how strong home rhythms in Kerala anchor kids amid tech, trends, and peer pressure. We trace Excel’s growth from local clubs to chapters in India, Nepal, the Gulf, the UK and Ireland, the US, and Canada, and we spotlight outreach in public schools around drug and alcohol awareness. There’s a powerful testimony too: two girls who came home from VBS singing ended up leading their father—now a pastor—into a new life near the tea plantations.

If you care about youth ministry, missions, multilingual outreach, or practical ways the church can bless society, this story offers a blueprint: start early, teach clearly, serve widely, and stay faithful. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves kids and education, and leave a review to help more people discover voices like Brother Joseph’s.

Join us "around the table" once again as Bro. Ernie finishes up Chapter 8 in the Book of ACT.  Get you notebooks and your Bibles out!  

A desert road rarely looks like promotion, but when the Spirit redirects, we move. We pick up after a roaring revival in Samaria—healings, deliverance, and apostles ensuring believers receive the Holy Spirit—and follow Philip to a quiet appointment with an Ethiopian official reading Isaiah. What unfolds is a masterclass in simple, powerful evangelism: start with a question, open the Scriptures, preach Jesus, and invite a response that’s more than words.

We dig into Isaiah 53 and show how the early church proved Christ from the Old Testament, then track the eunuch’s response: “See, here is water.” Why does baptism surface so fast? Because the New Testament pattern is consistent—repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus, and the gift of the Holy Spirit form the core of gospel application. We unpack why belief must become obedience, why baptism is immersion and covenantal, and how joy follows when faith moves from theory to action. And yes, we talk about Philip being “caught away” and share modern testimonies that stretch our comfort while honoring God’s sovereignty.

As the conversation widens, we address rising hostility toward Jews and Christians, and why an Acts-shaped faith—courageous, consistent, Spirit-led—matters now. Expect practical wisdom on witnessing with warmth, navigating missions lawfully abroad, and keeping integrity when the pressure mounts. We close by looking ahead to Saul of Tarsus in Acts 9, where the same unchanging gospel ambushes an unlikely heart and turns an enemy into an apostle.

If this journey stirs your faith, share it with a friend, subscribe for the next chapter, and leave a review with one insight you’re taking into your week. Your voice helps others find the message—and helps us keep the conversation going.

In Part 2 of Chapter 8 continuing the study "A Simple Presentation into The Book of ACTs", Brother Ernie recaps the first part of Chapter 8 and takes us into a deep dive!  Get your notebooks ready!

Persecution was supposed to silence the church—but it turned out to be rocket fuel. When believers scatter from Jerusalem, Philip steps into Samaria with a simple message about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus, and the city erupts with joy. Unclean spirits leave, the lame are healed, and crowds lean in. Yet even amid miracles, something crucial is missing: the believers haven’t received the Holy Spirit. That gap sends Peter and John on a focused mission to complete what God began.

We walk through the pivotal moment when the apostles lay hands on the Samaritan believers and the Holy Spirit is received in a way that can be seen and heard. The impact is so striking that Simon, a former sorcerer, tries to buy the power to impart the Spirit. Peter’s firm rebuke cuts through the noise: the gifts of God are not for sale. We talk about why spiritual authority cannot be monetized, how jealousy poisons calling, and why repentance is not a one-time doorway but a daily posture that keeps our hearts soft and our witness honest.

Along the way, we connect Acts 8 to the broader biblical story—Isaiah’s promise of refreshing, Ezekiel’s new heart and Spirit, John the Baptist’s prophecy, and Jesus’ invitation to ask the Father for the Holy Spirit. The thread is consistent: one gospel, one name, one baptism, one Spirit. We reflect on the early church’s wisdom in protecting both doctrine and experience, and we explore how real growth looks: humility that admits wrong, a conscience awakened by the Spirit, and a resilient will to press on.

If you’re hungry to see the gospel’s full shape—belief, repentance, baptism in Jesus’ name, and the gift of the Holy Spirit—this conversation offers clarity, challenge, and hope. Subscribe, share this episode with a friend who loves the book of Acts, and leave a review to tell us what sparked for you.

Join Sis. Diahanna, Sis. Audia & Sis. Anne talk about prophetic words going around the Body of Christ.  Get your notebooks ready!!! 

What if your words are undoing your own prayers? We dive into the practice of intercession with urgency and clarity, showing how Spirit-led prayer and disciplined speech can shape outcomes for our leaders, communities, and families. We open Scripture to anchor the approach—John 16 for guidance into truth, Romans 8 for the Spirit’s intercession when we don’t know what to pray, and Hebrews 4 for bold access to the throne of grace. Then we get practical: when a “prophetic” warning surfaces, do you agree with it or stand against it? We offer a simple discernment filter and a focused prayer strategy for protection, exposure of deception, and peace over every environment leaders enter.

Across the conversation, we challenge a subtle trap: praying for safety while repeating speculative harm with our mouths. Proclamation becomes prophecy, so guarded speech matters. You’ll hear a call to persistent, daily intercession that prioritizes repentance and alignment with God’s will over volume or emotion. We talk courts of heaven, agreement and authority, and why unity in prayer withdraws consent from darkness. And we don’t stay abstract—we apply this to a concrete situation, lifting specific, targeted petitions for the President, his family, and the teams who protect him by land, air, and sea.

If you’ve wanted a clear framework for powerful prayer that doesn’t drift into fear or performance, this conversation offers it. Expect biblical grounding, practical steps, and a communal prayer you can return to each day. Join us, add your agreement, and help carry a covering of protection and wisdom over our nation’s leadership. If this resonated, follow, share, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show—and tell us: what declaration are you standing on this week?

Join Sis. Diahanna and Sis. Audia as they discuss some church news that really hurts the body as a whole.

Some wounds cut deeper when they come from the people we trust to guard our souls. We open up about church hurt, high-profile failures, and the quiet cover-ups that leave congregations confused, angry, and exhausted—and we focus on the one safeguard we can all build today: spiritual discernment led by the Holy Spirit.

Together we unpack what discernment really is—an understanding heart that can separate truth from error and good from evil—and how Scripture shapes that skill. We talk through real-life moments of hearing “not today” from God, why timing matters when sharing heavy words, and how to love people who are still on milk without shaming them. We also draw a firm line between charisma and character, exploring why hidden sin plus a microphone harms entire communities, and what genuine repentance and restoration should look like before anyone returns to a platform.

This conversation is practical and hopeful. We share simple rhythms that strengthen your inner life: daily Bible intake to renew the mind, honest prayer that invites correction, quick repentance that keeps the heart soft, and community that values truth over image. We also address how to test the spirits, what fruit to look for, and how to guard your heart without growing cynical. If you’ve been wounded by leaders or disillusioned by institutions, take a breath with us, turn toward Jesus, and rebuild trust where it truly belongs.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs clarity, and leave a review to help more people find it. Your voice helps others recover theirs.

Bro. Ernie continues teaching us on "A Simple Presentation in The Book of ACTS in Chapter 8.  Get your drink, your snack, your notebook and The Word and dive in!!!  

Pressure doesn’t just test faith; it redirects it. We pick up the story at Stephen’s death and watch the church scatter under a wave of persecution, only to see the gospel leap from Jerusalem into Samaria exactly as Jesus promised. Saul goes house to house with fury, yet the scattered believers go street to street with hope. That collision—between opposition and obedience—becomes the engine of a larger mission.

Philip steps into Samaria with a simple message: Jesus Christ. The city leans in. Deliverance breaks out, the lame and paralyzed are healed, and unclean spirits leave with loud cries. Great joy follows real power. We unpack the difference between spectacle and the authority of Jesus’ name, and why belief naturally leads to baptism and transformed lives. Even Simon the sorcerer, long revered for supernatural displays, believes and is baptized when confronted with authentic Kingdom power.

News reaches Jerusalem, and Peter and John are sent—not to control a move of God, but to strengthen and align it. Together we explore how apostolic care brings clarity, prayer, and unity, and how Acts 8 exposes thin versions of the gospel that skip repentance, the Holy Spirit, and obedience. Along the way we connect the text to now: stories of persecution that couldn’t silence witness, a call to courageous faith, and a practical path for seekers—repentance as a lifelong turn, baptism in Jesus’ name, and a community that prays for the gift of the Holy Spirit.

This week, Bro. Ernie starts a brand new series on "A Simple Presentation into The Gospel of St. John".  Personally one of my favorite!  Get your notebooks ready!  Unlike the other Gospels, John takes us on a journey to show the deity and lovingness of Jesus. 

What if the smallest word changes everything? We open a fresh study of the Gospel of John by tracing Jesus’ claim that the Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father, then follow that thread across 2 Corinthians, Colossians, Timothy, Hebrews, and Acts. The aim is simple and demanding: believe on Jesus as the Scripture has said, not as culture, tradition, or preference might prefer. From living water in John 7 to life through His name in John 20, we explore how Scripture-shaped belief leads to receiving the Spirit, praying with authority, and expecting signs that follow believers.

Along the way, we slow down for a human portrait of John. Likely the youngest apostle, called from nets into nearness, part of the inner circle at the transfiguration and Gethsemane, and the friend who leaned on Jesus’ chest at supper. That closeness did not blur his doctrine; it clarified it. John saw the humanity of Jesus and still wrote that He is the express image of God’s person. We reflect on why Jesus entrusted His mother to John, why rumors swirled that John might not die, and how John’s long witness formed a Gospel that blends affection, awe, and uncompromising truth.

This conversation also equips you to study well. We share practical tools: use first mention to anchor symbols, read in context with covenant and audience in view, gather complete mention across Scripture, and pray with patience. Expect God to answer. Expect the text to shape your beliefs. Expect that calling on the name of Jesus is more than a tagline—it is a claim on power, identity, and mission. If you’re ready to trade vague inspiration for clear conviction and living water, grab your Bible and join us as we make John and Acts a daily rhythm. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves Scripture, and leave a review to help others find the study.

Join us girls "Around the Table" for a Q&A with Bro. John "Ernie" Perez as we discuss a wide range of topics relevant to Christian life today.

Ever felt like church is a comfy couch when you need a training ground? We dive into what it really takes to grow up in faith: moving from spiritual milk to solid food, laying down the binky of soothing platitudes, and learning to hear God for yourself. With honest stories, scriptural insight, and a warm round-table of voices, we explore how love-led correction, private mentorship, and everyday relationships shape mature believers who can carry real responsibility.

We trace the throughline from Abraham’s covenant to practical discipleship today—why alignment must come before assignment, how the law can be training wheels that yield to grace, and why testimony matters more than rule-keeping. You’ll hear vivid examples of “fruit inspecting” without shaming, the power of asking better questions—Did you pray? What did you find in Scripture?—and how the Spirit gently forms discernment so we can judge prophecy, resist trends, and protect our witness. Modesty, speech, and conduct show up not as checklists, but as choices that either point people to Jesus or to us.

Most of all, we make a case for house-to-house discipleship over stage-driven religion. Growth happens at the table, on the porch, and in the aisle—where we listen, open the Bible, and walk with people through fear, failure, and new faith. If you’ve been stuck in comfort or craving courage, this conversation offers a path: repent, obey, build relationships, and keep your heart soft before God.

If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more soul-stretching conversations, and leave a review with one takeaway you’re putting into practice this week. Your voice helps more people find a faith that matures.  (*Recorded on 1/12/2026)
