- Investing In Jesus (Luke 19, Parables, and the Cost of Following Jesus)
Send us Fan Mail
Many people claim to follow Jesus, but which Jesus are we talking about? Jesus didn't always meet the expectations of His contemporaries in the Gospels and He still is full of surprises and challenges for us today. What do we do with Jesus when He isn't what we thought? Will we follow Him if it means losing everything we know? What if it means even replacing our personal identity with something radically new? This week, Karl and Susie make a second dig into the 19th chapter of Luke's Gospel, wrestling with a parable that many have found difficult to decipher over the years. Will we suceed in bringing more understanding? You be the judge! We would love to hear from you!Share with us your thoughts from this weeks' podcast by connecting via the Website: www.thegospelforplanetearth.comor Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/TheGospel4earth/Don't forget to check out our family Vlog:https://youtu.be/tDqVuXtPH3gShow your support of the Podcast:https://www.patreon.com/karlgesslerFollow our family band!https://www.karlgessler.com/thekarlgesslerbandSupport the show

...36 min - Up A Tree With A Rich Man (Counter Cultural Jesus, Grace that causes anger, and Luke 19)
Send us Fan Mail
We are barking up a tree this week and we have found a rich man in it! Jesus said that it is easier for a camel to "go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" and yet, in today's podcast we will meet a rich man who does just that. He enters the kingdom of God! But how does he do it? How was it possible? What did it cost him? We are exploring these questions and more in this week's podcast. In fact, we are exploring YOUR questions this week in our last segment of the podcast.

...50 min - I Will Lift Up My Eyes (Philly, Catechisms, Drugs, and Salvation W/ John Thompson)
Send us Fan Mail
"God, if you are up there..." how many Christians have uttered these words as the prelude to their conversion? I don't know the statistics but I would guess that the number is fairly high. John Thompson threw these words at the sky as he was overwhelmed with a sense of hopelessness and meaninglessness, and God answered, though maybe not as John expected. This week, my brother-in-law, John Thompson, shares with us his story of coming to Christ after a life of drugs and gangs in Philadelphia. Plus, Karl and Susie attempt to field some of the Biblical questions that you have submitted. If you would like to ask a question to be discussed on a future podcast, please send an email to: [email protected]'t forget to check out our family ministry adventure Vlog, including our time with John and his family in Harrisburg PA:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcXckEg4IIo&t=29sJoin the conversation concerning the Gospel via social media:https://www.facebook.com/TheGospel4earthSupport the show

...47 min - Money, The Kingdom of God and Abortion (w/ Joanna Keilson)
Send us Fan Mail
Why is it hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God? Is it actually impossible? Can you establish a kingdom of justice on earth without getting wealthy people to back your revolution? And do we all really want a just kingdom? Do we all really want to be healed or do we fear the responsibility that will come with our healing? Karl and Susie face these questions and more on this week's podcast! Plus, Joanna Keilson from the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform visits us to share a little about her recent trip to Ireland and her efforts there to save the lives of "the least of these".It's another packed week!

...43 min - Servant Kings (Luke 18, Washing Jesus' Feet, The Lord's prayer, Children and the Kingdom)
Send us Fan Mail
Jesus told His disciples to pray. But why are we supposed to pray? What does prayer accomplish? What were the disciples themselves praying about? How did they view prayer? And why is Jesus partial to children? Is this unusual? What is the nature of the Kingdom of God that it should be especially meant for children? These questions and more are addressed in this week's efforts to understand Luke 18. Plus, Karl explores what new things he has learned about stories found in Luke 7 since recording a podcast studying it earlier in the year.Here is the original Podcast concerning Luke 7:https://soundcloud.com/karl-gessler/redrawing-the-lines-luke-7For more from Ken Bailey, check out:https://www.christianbook.com/through-middle-eastern-cultural-studies-gospels/kenneth-bailey/9780830825684/pd/825684?kw=21440761692&mt=b&dv=c&event=PPCSRC&p=1186432&gclid=CjwKCAjwtIXbBRBhEiwAWV-5ngOGt7PJKCGJ9gokypu_gSaiuyokmda0zU42DSjdaFKFV0xjGbz9FBoCZX0QAvD_BwECheck out our VLOG here!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcXckEg4IIoSupport the show

...41 min - Not All Prayer Is Good (Healing & The Amish W/Dennis Raber + LGBT w/David Arthur)
Send us Fan Mail
Does God answer every prayer? Is there such a thing as a bad prayer or is every prayer good just because it is prayer? This week, Susie and Karl are going to share with you an interview with Dennis Raber, a man that they met in Ohio who experienced a great sickness after his Amish father "prayed" for something bad to happen to him. Why would a father do this? And did God answer this prayer or did something else respond to it? Spooky. Real. Real spooky, but also serious. Are we careful enough with our words?

...38 min - When Is Kingdom Come? (Luke 17)
Send us Fan Mail
When is the Kingdom of God coming? Wouldn't we all like to know? The Pharisees did. But what exactly were they asking? What kind of Kingdom were they looking for? Did they expect the world to end? And is "the Rapture" a real thing? Karl explores these questions and more in today's podcast. Plus, Karl is joined by his brother, Ricky, in the studio as they share their parallel journeys of learning the fresh challenge of the Gospel.To find more on this subject as well as other topics, check out:www.thegospelforplanetearth.comTo follow our Family VLOG:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNCx4PN5gj0&t=239sFor a free music download:https://www.karlgessler.com/thekarlgesslerbandSupport the show

...40 min - Jesus Said: Don't Do This (Luke 17, Stumbling Blocks, The Kingdom and Children)
Send us Fan Mail
What does it mean to put a stumbling block in somebody's way? Why would anyone do it? We may have more reason than we are usually willing to acknowledge. In this week's podcast, we are looking at Luke 17 and Jesus' violent imagery regarding what happens to those who cause others to stumble. Plus, Karl and Susie share a few stories from their recent music tour and David Arthur stops in for a brief visit and update about what God is doing through His ministry.

...47 min - Locked up with ISIS (Peter Jasek was locked up wit ISIS for his Christian work...)
Send us Fan Mail
Petr Jasek grew up in the shadow of communism in the Chek-Republic. Both of Petr's parents suffered because of their faithful witness to Christ. As a result, at a young age, Petr was aware of the plight and needs of our suffering brothers and sisters around the world. Petr made it his vocation to serve the persecuted church as he was brought on staff with the Voice of the Martyrs to serve the Church in Africa. But on his last venture into Sudan, Petr was not allowed to return home. His entire trip had been caught on videos and in pictures by government spies who were suspicious of his activities. Even though Petr had committed no crime, he was placed in a small prison cell with several other men...all of them were members of ISIS! In this week's podcast, Petr shares his testimony of God's faithfulness in the midst of uncertainty and suffering. What thoughts are stirred in your heart by this week's podcast?

...45 min - Does God Like Loan Sharks?! (Luke 16)
Send us Fan Mail
Jesus' parables are not always easy to understand. In this week's podcast, we are looking at Luke 16 where it appears that God approves of the dishonest practices of a money manager! What are we missing in this parable?! Plus, we will be looking at the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. Is this a parable about Hell and Heaven or something else?For more on this subject, find the blog at:https://www.karlgessler.com/Subscribe to our new family Vlog here:https://www.karlgessler.com/vlog Support the Podcast here:https://www.patreon.com/karlgessler/overviewSupport the show

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.
