After the conclusion of our four part study titled, How Sovereign is God?, Kelly Coy had an encounter with God while reading the book of Numbers. Since that encounter, Kelly has had a radical transformation where he understands the depth and consequences of complaining about life's situations. It's a powerful testimony that shows us all how we each are being conformed to the image of Christ in real time, and to never judge a book by its cover. Thanks for listening!

Rick Welch's friend, Luke McInnes from Melbourne, Australia joins him, Andy and Ralph to share his personal testimony. Growing up in a secular society and going through the divorce of his parents at the age of 8, Luke began a life devoted to financial success and had no interest in religion at all. That would all change when he encountered the gospel of Jesus Christ. We hope you enjoy listening to his accent as much as we did and also hearing this amazing story of being "lifted up from Down Under".

The Burros begin a new study on the Feasts of the Lord found in Leviticus 23. Each of the feasts are done in remembrance of certain events the children of Israel had gone through. The incredible part is that each feast also points to their coming Messiah. Year after year, the Israelites practiced their faith during each feast. Yet, when the Messiah arrived the rulers of the time missed the significance of it. It's a fascinating deep dive into the Feasts of the Lord and their fulfillment in Jesus Christ!

Rick sits down with Andy in the studio to continue their side chats about Christianity and the World. Rick goes through the Sermon on the Mount and explains in detail how Jesus is teaching his disciples (those who are practicing a discipline given by their teacher) how to interact with the Father in an intimate way. Jesus amplifies the Law and gets them to see the "heart of the matter" and shows them ways they can interact with the outside world and gain a closer relationship to the Father each time. It's a powerful look at the Christian faith, and how one Christian can explain the reasons for their actions to those outside of it.

Rick sits down with Andy to discuss a recent conversation that he'd been in about providing the proof of the existence of God. Who has the burden? Does the person that makes the claim have to produce enough evidence to prove it? Or does the person who states there is no God have the burden of proof regarding their claim? It's a fascinating look at what we can and cannot prove, as well as the argument for existence. If you'd like to support our podcast, please visit: www.patreon.com/theburrosofberea.

Rick Welch spoke at Berean Bible Church on Palm Sunday and shared his message entitled, "The Family Whom Jesus Loved". After his deep dive study into Who Wrote the Gospel of John, he continued to do research surrounding the special family in Bethany. Mary, Martha and Lazarus all were loved uniquely by Jesus and after discovering information found within the Dead Sea Scrolls, Rick came to the conclusion that they were a part of a non-marrying group that housed the sick, poor and leprous. Then Rick attempts to link Lazarus of Bethany to the same man named in Luke 16 by showing who Theophilus really was. It's a fascinating deep dive into Israel's history and an interesting point of view on one of the most important families in Jesus' ministry.

Dr. Carrie Doehring joins the Burros cast via zoom this week to talk with us about the death of her son Alex, who chose to end his life at the age of 27. In this candid interview, Dr. Doehring uses her experience as a pastor and a professor of pastoral counselling and care to walk us through the process of grieving such an immense loss. She also talks with the cast about why it can be so hard for Christian communities to talk about suicide and what we can do to open up space without judgment for others who might be suffering in silence.

If you or anyone you know are struggling with thoughts of suicicde, you are not alone. Please dial 988 or visit 988lifeline.org for support.
