Story from Mexico that should embolden us to live hopefully and optimistically as foreigners for the kingdom here in this age! Learn what awaits all of us from our family of faith who suffers and see how the Lord is with them. Keep fighting the good fight and see what your God will do as you endeavor to build the kingdom.

Starting a verse-by-verse teaching through the gospel of Matthew to know Jesus better, confront myths about him, and to understand how Jesus is the literal and thematic subject and fulfilment of the entire bible. This will be a really fun ride. Hopefully you're blessed by it.

I am blessed to be able to have my long-time friend and brother in Christ, Sammy, on the podcast to talk about a church plant he is a part of in Charleston, South Carolina: Harbor City Church. We discuss church planting and he shares about God building his kingdom in that city. Later we talk on John 17 and what it means to know God. For those interested in a local church home visit Harbor City Church at harborcitychs.com for more information!

The second in an on-going series called "Answering" where I take an entire podcast episode to answer questions and objections to the faith. Be warned, I also strike back with my own questions as well. This episode is for my buddy Zachary and any who has his same objection: that man tampered with the bible unknowingly through bias.

We have returned to the web! Starting a new ongoing series called Answering where I take one entire podcast episode to answer questions, objections, and concerns from Christians and or non-Christians, usually friends in my life who I have conversations with over different social media platforms. I hope to encourage my brothers and sisters in the faith to engage people in love online and in person who have hard hitting questions and give them substantive answers in hopes of leading them to the life that is in Christ. Rebecca asks many questions concerning the gender identity, feminism, and God. I do my best to address what I can the one episode. Be blessed everyone!

Karai tells the story of God's love rejected by Sodom and Gomorrah. So often the story is only their homosexuality. I do my best to pull the curtain back a bit more on their other sins and show God's loving pursuit of them in Genesis. We ought to learn from their example that God's love is the option to take over predatory covetousness and perverse sexual pleasures. Also, an argument using only the words of Jesus to establish the authority of the entire bible. You don't want to miss this one!

Back to sitting at the feet of the persecuted church. Today we hear the story of a couple in rural Mexico that suffered kidnapping and beatings for their stand for Christ. Are we willing to be ostracized from our culture for the sake of the kingdom? Let God say to you what he will and encourage you in the work he's called you to. Enjoy!

A concept so irritating to the Pharisees that they instantly went into planning mode for how to kill Jesus over it. We forget this to our peril but Jesus littered the Gospels with this teaching. For what reasons do we neglect the justice and love of God? In a few words: greed, wickedness, covetousness. Christ's Kingdom works totally different. Listen in to see how! Enjoy!

The story of a man called by God to live and minister in a mosquito infested part of the world where the very air itself is poisonous. What can we as foreign saints in this world learn from this mans example? A simple lesson; our life is not our own. Karai and Meredith go right at the heart of what keeps many of us from progressing onward into maturity and usefulness in the Kingdom: covetousness. (For more on coveting, see the episode "A Wake Up Call On Coveting: The Sin That Kills Soft and Slow").

Karai and Meredith here to talk about Christian maturity as the call of God on each of our lives. Using Job, King Lemuel's mom in the Proverbs, and Paul's letters we prove that God's intention for his people is excellence of moral character that embraces suffering for the sake of the Kingdom. A thunderous pulse check that is much needed in todays lukewarm and fearful Christian culture. Enjoy!
