Buddhism in the West in various forms is fairly popular at the moment.

But is there another side to Buddhism? According to one former Tibetan Monk, there is.In this week's podcast, Karl Gessler sits down with author, missions director, and former intelligence officer, Eugene Bach, to talk about his new book "Leaving Buddha" the story of Tenzin Lahkpa (a pseudonym).

Where did Jesus go when He ascended into heaven? Where is Jesus now? What were the disciples doing while they waited for the Holy Spirit? What the disciples expect the Holy Spirit to do once He came? Who wrote the book of Acts? What does it mean to "repent of your way of doing the kingdom?"

What does it mean to be righteous according to the Bible? When Westerners talk about someone possessing righteousness, we usually mean that someone is what is considered universally moral, such as never breaking one of the Ten Commandments. However, the priority of the question of moral spotlessness is a Western value and not necessarily the focus of the Biblical authors. This week, Karl and Susie Gessler look at some very interesting Bible stories and songs that attribute righteousness to Phinehas, an ancient Israelite, because of his violent action of stabbing two people to death with a spear. Whoa. This is a must listen!Leave a Comment, ask a question, and get FREE music!https://www.karlgessler.com/contactShow Your Love!

Imputation and atonement are big theological words with which we may not be that familiar. Nevertheless, the things that we have been taught at a popular level about these subjects have oozed their way into our minds one way or another. Atonement is a word used to try to explain what Christ has accomplished on the cross. Imputation is a word that is used to try to explain how Christ's resurrection affects us. But what do we do when the explanations we have heard do not sit well with our souls? I know what Charles Finney would do, he would speak his mind! In this week's Podcast, Karl and Susie Gessler share some reflections on some of Charles Finney's thoughts on the 1800s New England Calvinist's explanation of imputation and the atonement which he colorfully describes as "a wonderful theological fiction".Leave a Comment or ask a question:https://www.karlgessler.com/contactShow Your Love!

What kind of emotions does the word perfection evoke in you? If we are talking about food, it might be a very exciting, complimentary word. But if we are talking about our moral, mental, or physical presence, it is a very overbearing word. The understanding that God is perfect is both intimidating as well as alienating. We don't even really know what perfection is though we feel the pressure to live up to someone's notion of it. Does this pressure come from God? Does God demand perfection from us? The Bible has a lot to say about perfection and righteousness. The Bible talks about things like "being made perfect" (Hebrews 10:14 and Hebrews 11:40) and "becoming righteousness" (2 Corinthians 5:21). But when the Biblical authors write about such things, they often don't intend for them to be heard the way that many modern westerners understand them. The Biblical authors were living within a narrative that said that God was going to do something through his people, and when this thing as completed, God Himself would be righteous and the promises would be brought to "perfection". This week, Karl and Susie Gessler continue to explore the meaning of God's righteousness in the Bible and how it relates to people of God and the story of the world that God so loved.Leave a Comment or ask a question:https://www.karlgessler.com/contactShow Your Love!

Did Jesus die to make me righteous? If He did, what does that mean exactly? As important as this question seems to be to us as Western Christians, it is remarkable that the subject of our "righteousness" in the sense of the sum total of our personal morality, is hardly commented on by Jesus. Jesus never asked anyone if they knew where they would go when they died or if they believed that their works could commend them to God. So why is it such a big deal to us but apparently not to Jesus or Luke? In this week's podcast, Karl and Susie Gessler explore what being "righteous" means according to Biblical authors and how it relates to a promise that nearly killed God.

In Luke's account of the Easter story, Luke tells us about two disciples who were walking home to Emmaus on the first day of the week. They had heard the story of the women at the tomb who claimed that the tomb was empty and that they had seen a vision of angels who claimed that Jesus was alive. But they didn't know what to make of it. Should they believe it? And if they believed it, what did it mean? In this week's podcast, Karl and Susie Gessler invite you to walk with them down the road to Emmaus to see what the disciples saw on that first Easter morning and to think their thoughts after them. It may be that as you do, you too will feel your heart "burning inside your chest." Jimmy Clifton will also share with us how he recently came to a fresh understanding of God's grace that has given him joy and freedom and has compelled him to be baptized into the name of Jesus.Finally, Karl and Susie field a few questions in response to last week's podcast concerning the physical kingdom of God

There is a lot of confusion around the question "What is the Kingdom God?" Is it a physical kingdom or a spiritual kingdom? Personally, I am not sure what a spiritual "kingdom" actually is. I believe that the kingdom of God is nothing if not physical and in this week's discussion with my wife, Susie, I will give some reasons why I believe this. Leave your thoughts below. What do you think the Kingdom of God is like?Plus, Josh Hoekle joins us in the studio to update us on his family's missionary travels across the USA.

I did not plan to watch the movie "Unplanned." I am already a pro-life activist. I have already seen a live (note the irony) abortion video and I never wanted to see one again. But this week, the guest sharing her testimony on our podcast, Elizabeth Harris, really wanted to talk about the movie on the podcast as it ties in well with her testimony. So, of course, I needed to see it first. That was a couple of days ago and I am still wrecked. This movie does it's job and I am compelled more than ever to pray and work for the ending of abortion and the rescue of the human beings who are participating in it. This week, Elizabeth Harris and Karl will try to begin to unpack the effect this movie has had on us and Elizabeth will share her testimony.Show Your Love!
