The Northern and Southern states alike have always revered General Robert E Lee and General Stonewall Jackson. Without a doubt, Lee is a father of this country, but is he also a father of our faith? Recently, certain people in our media have vilified Lee as a white supremacist whom we should forget. But why should we suddenly condemn a man that we have long revered? What do we lose if we lose Robert E Lee? What do we gain if we retain his memory?
General "Stonewall" Jackson is also deeply loved by the Southern United States and respected by the North. Jackson gained his nickname because of his bravery in battle, which sprung from his faith. Should Christians listen to the public pressure to condemn Jackson wholesale today?
In Today's podcast, Don Hendrix joins me in the studio to talk about the importance of nuance in history and the importance of recognizing the greatness of these two men of faith and character.

Men love adventure, daring, accomplishments, and women. Men also tend to function as project managers who can forget the needs of their wives once they've "caught" them. As we chase our aspirations, not least in ministry, we often neglect to pursue our wives. Dr. Paul Williams has lived a very successful life on a professional level. Dr. Williams has served in 100+ countries during 38 years of medical missions in ministry. Paul and his wife Sophia have had a long and happy marriage, but it didn't come without some important lessons along the way. Today, Dr. Williams will share some thoughts on ministering to the needs of our wives as part of our calling.

Some men hate Christmas, and they may have some good reasons to do so. But men may also hate Christmas for rather unwholesome reasons. Today, I want to show you how Christmas can be redeemed and can become the key to your success as a man.

"You" on Telegram asks:
Does anyone have a valid biblical "argument" against the Sabbath being Saturday? I am stumped trying to explain why it doesn't matter or why we worship/rest on Sunday.
In today's short podcast, I will do my best to answer this question.

Some of us confess Christ and get baptized but still struggle with the same old sins. That is not how things are supposed to work. There is a key to victory available.
Christianity is nothing more than an intellectual idea without the baptism of the Holy Spirit. But many Christians are confused about it. Don't all Christians have the Holy Spirit? What does the Baptism of the Holy Spirit have to do with speaking in tongues? And is the gift of the Holy Spirit something I can acquire by choice, or do I have to ask God, wait and hope that I receive it? I've questioned many things concerning the Baptism of the Holy Spirit over the years. Recently, I tried to give my best explanation, and it seems that God confirmed my conclusions with an unlooked-for testimony. The bottom line is: You can receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit immediately. Today's podcast will explain how your life can be changed by the Holy Spirit TODAY.

Jesus is God's Son. But who is God that we should want to know His son? What if God is angry, distant, or hard to please? Would we want to know that God's son? Probably not. I want to show you how to look at the right end of the telescope when you look at Jesus. Jesus is the key to seeing God as a good father.

Kids hate it when their parents only see doom and gloom. We may feel like our cynicism is wise, but it may be more damaging to our kids than we realize. If we believed God promised us better days are ahead, it would help us present more hope to our children. While there are many charlatans in the world, I believe that God does grant a real gift of prophecy to sum. Not too long ago, I thought that God spoke directly to me, and what He said is very hopeful for us all. Even if you reject the word that God might have expressed to me, I can guarantee that I know four other things God is speaking to us all right now.

Many men lead aimless lives because they never had a father that gave them vision. At least, these men are not aware of a father who had a vision for their life. Today, I want to share with you the ideas of some fathers you may not have known but who were looking out for you and had a vision for you.

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…
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.
