As with all things related to Donald Trump, the opinions in the land seem to be split between those who insist that God would not intervene on behalf of someone such as the former President (because of what they see as his bad character) and those who insist equally as boldly that it is obvious divine intervention was involved in saving his life.  The truth is not as simple as either side is trying to make it.  In this podcast, we take a rational, biblical look at the issue.

What is the purpose of prayer?  And how does that purpose direct what we should be praying for?  There are verses providing specific instructions, such as praying for those in positions of leadership.  In this podcast, however, we explore the high level purposes of prayer in a Christian's life and develop five important components of prayer from the top down.

In his letter in the New Testament, James says that God cannot be tempted and that He tempts no one [James 1:1-15].  Why is it that God cannot be tempted but we can?  And how can James say He tempts no one when there are a number of places in scripture that contain accounts of God testing individuals?  In this podcast, we look at the difference between a biblical temptation and a biblical trial or test and answer the question of why God can't be tempted and how it is that we can be tested without being tempted.

Some say that all religions are seeking to answer the same questions and are, therefore, similar in all but the smallest details.  Others say that all religions take us to the same ending point, even if each starts at a different place and takes a different path.  But the truth is Christianity is unique among all the religions ever practiced on earth.  In this podcast, we explore five ways in which Christianity stands apart from all other faiths.

Using the framework and guidelines of the Bible, what directions are Christians given concerning where and how to invest the money they save?  In this podcast, we use the general framework of the Bible to shine some light on questions such as 'should Christians earn interest on their money' and 'should Christians invest in the stock market'

The Bible speaks a great deal about money and how followers of God should view wealth and income.  So, what do the scriptures say about Christians putting aside some savings or even accumulating wealth through a 401K program?  A search beginning in the book of Proverbs provides us a definitive answer to this common question.

In almost every case in the Gospels when Jesus refers to Himself, He does so as 'The Son Of Man'.  But why?  Every word Jesus spoke was calculated and designed to provide deep meaning and maximum impact and the title He used for Himself was no different.  In this podcast, we survey scriptures from Daniel chapter 7 in the Old Testament to Romans chapter 5 in the New Testament to build our understanding of this issue.

It is a common saying that we have to love ourselves - and if we don’t, then learn to love ourselves - before we can love others.  But if we use the Bible as our starting point, this is not necessarily true. Of course, we should understand that we have worth and value because we are made in the image of God.  But we should not wait until our self esteem and self love are at a certain level before caring about others.

The idea of life occurring in cycles and specifically the concepts of rebirth and reincarnation are common to manmade religions.  But what does the inspired scripture of the Bible have to say on these topics?  In this podcast, we explore what the Bible has to say about whether the universe is cyclical and what it teaches us about reincarnation.

The Bible says that God is love and that He loved the world so much He sent His only Son to save us.  So, why do the scriptures that speak so frequently of love also command us to fear the Lord?  What does it mean to fear the Lord?  In this podcast, we look at the word and its different meanings to paint an accurate picture of this concept.
