...43 min - The Myth of Love Without Pain
Send us Fan Mail
Is it possible to love without being hurt? I recently saw an advertisement for a class that proposed a way to experience "Love without pain." Many Western people have put their faith in this modern Buddhist myth, but it leads to disaster. Though pain may seem overwhelming at times, the value of real love is worth it. Let me explain in today's podcast.

...32 min - Can Satan Enter a Christian? Acts 5 and the Truth We Avoid
Send us Fan Mail
Despite popular opinion, the Scriptures reveal a sobering truth: genuine Christians can still be plagued by demonic influence.
While the Bible does not always state this reality explicitly, it consistently assumes it. In this episode, we examine one of the most shocking passages in the New Testament—the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts chapter 5—to show how Satan was able to “enter” people who were already part of the Spirit-filled Church.
This teaching challenges the belief that receiving the Holy Spirit automatically eliminates the need for deliverance. Instead, Scripture reveals a more complex and honest picture: believers can resist the Holy Spirit, give ground to Satan, and remain bound—not because Christ is insufficient, but because truth is being denied.
This episode is not about fear or accusation. It is an invitation for Christians to stop resisting the work of the Holy Spirit and to finally acknowledge—and receive—the deliverance they deeply need.
Freedom begins with truth.

...33 min - The Champion of Freedom
Send us Fan Mail
Many Christians believe that God predestines our futures, while pagans promote Satan as the champion of liberty. Who is the champion of freedom? The Devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy, and he often sneaks right into the camp of the people of God to do it. Sometimes, the Devil is in the details of our theologies. But the God of the Bible is the true champion of freedom.

...40 min - Put the Fear of Hell in it's Place
Send us Fan Mail
Many Christians struggle greatly with the fear of Hell. But if you read the Bible without the extra-biblical, preconceived notions, you will find that Hell does not feature prominently in the story of the Bible the way many pastors and teachers believe it does. What happens when we let the Bible tell its own story? God's justice remains, but the obsession with Hell disappears.
"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love."
1 John 4:18

...42 min - The Truth About Predestination
Send us Fan Mail
A young woman who grew up in a church that taught John Calvin's doctrine of predestination once told me, "I believe in it, but I don't want to talk about it." My response is that if the Gospel is good news, we should want to talk about it. If what you are told is "the Gospel" is oppressing you, something is amiss in the teaching or the comprehension.
Calvin's doctrine of predestination may be popular, but I believe it is way off the mark and deeply problematic. Here is what I think about Biblical predestination:
What Has God Predetermined?- That You and I should exist. (Revelation 4:11)
- That the world should be governed by human beings exercising God's authority. (Genesis 1:28)
- That the world should exist as it is, in spite of the presence of evil.
- That God would do something to fix the problem with evil. (Exodus 6:5, Genesis 3:12)
- That a child of Abraham would be the agent God uses to win the victory over evil. (Genesis 17:1-6)
- That God's victory would be fought and won by Jesus, a descendant of Abraham. (Isaiah 53)
- That there WILL BE redeemed humans to manage God's creation (God Himself secured this end in the person of Jesus). (Romans 8:19)
- That all evil will be removed from God's good creation. (Isaiah 25:8, Revelation 21:4)
- Your life choices.
- The choices of your parents, ancestors, and neighbors.
God determines what HE will do, not what YOU will do.

...35 min - Deliverance Ministry Explained: Who Needs It & Why It Matters
Send us Fan Mail
Deliverance ministry is often misunderstood, ignored, or dismissed—but it is a vital part of Jesus’ ongoing work in His people.
In this episode, I break down the basics of deliverance ministry in clear, biblical terms:
What deliverance ministry actually is
Why Jesus practiced it and delegated it to His disciples
Who needs deliverance (and why it’s not just for “extreme cases”)
How spiritual oppression operates in the lives of sincere Christians
This isn’t about fear, hype, or chasing demons. It’s about exercising the authority Jesus already gave His Church and walking in freedom, clarity, and power.
If you’ve ever wondered whether deliverance is biblical, necessary, or relevant for today, this episode will give you a solid foundation—and likely challenge some assumptions.

About The Faith of the Father(s) w/ Karl Gessler
From the publisher's feed
The Faith of the Father (s) is a podcast devoted to proclaiming and demonstrating the reality of Jesus Christ—risen from the dead and actively at work today, healing the sick and casting out…
demons just as He did in the Scriptures.
Rooted in the careful study of the Bible and the witness of the Church throughout history, this podcast seeks to learn from the faith of the fathers—from the earliest believers to faithful witnesses in the present day. We hold that the ministry of Jesus did not end in the Gospels, but continues through men and women indwelt by the Holy Spirit and obedient to His voice.
Hosted by Karl Gessler, The Faith of the Fathers features candid conversations with those who have walked out of deep trauma, abuse, and bondage and have found real healing in Jesus. It also includes interviews with believers who have witnessed and participated in profound works of God—miracles of healing, deliverance, salvation, and even the raising of the dead—through courageous and faithful obedience to Christ.
At its core, this podcast affirms a simple conviction: God intends to govern the world through human beings filled with His Spirit, living in truth, authority, and love. By returning to Scripture and the lived faith of the Church, The Faith of the Fathers invites listeners to know Jesus not as a distant figure of the past, but as the living Lord who continues His work today.
