Ken Murray, United Church of God pastor for Clermont, Central Queensland, Australia, and I discuss THE KINGDOM OF GOD.  Both Ken and I became acquainted with and became believers in what that Kingdom is from the entirety of the Bible. We both saw that it was not what is popularly taught as heaven, a feeling, a church.  Then, what is it?  Find our by listening here.  We invite your comments to vkubik@gmail.com

Kurt Hoyer is passionate about the connection between archeology and the Bible. He received a Master's degree in this field from Hebrew University in Israel. He and his wife Jennifer have served in the Foreign Service and is now retired. He has lived in diverse places around the world, including Afghanistan, Kenya, the Philippines, and several others. 

He presents a fascinating insight into the archeological advances that have given proof of historical biblical narratives.  

No one can deny that we have entered markedly different times since 2020; every month seems to introduce a new what at one time may have considered a once-in-a-lifetime crisis.  Now, the crises come one after another.  It's sudden runaway inflation, world tension on the brink of a civilization-ending world war. The United States has joined other countries as a post-Christian society.  How can we cope and live a meaningful life governed by more than platitudes?  I talk to Christian psychologist Dr. Roy Fouch, who gives us insight from both his prison practice and his private practice about how to cope and how to become a constructive Christian.

In 2019 the United Church of God published What Does the Bible Teach About Grace?  This was a landmark publication about a subject spanning Genesis through Revelation.   I talk about GRACE as presented in a way we had not fully discussed it before.

Steve Parker from Houston, Texas and I discuss the parable of the Prodigal Son, also called the Lost Son.  The lessons from this parable were the theme of the Young Adults Retreat in Townsend, Tennessee, in the Smoky Mountains.  Steve was one of the principal speakers at the event that took place May 24-27, 2024.

This parable offers more than meets the eye, with lessons for all ages about how God loves and pursues us. 

Steve Parker is a Christ-follower, husband, father of four, and soon-to-be grandfather. He serves as a Deacon in the Houston congregation of the United Church of God and is currently finishing a five-part sermon series entitled Live Valuably: Learning to Appreciate Yourself and Others as God Does. Professionally, he has been a hospice executive for nearly 23 years with sector expertise in patient experience, business development, and leadership. You can find him on social media at @storysparker where he contributes about storytelling, Biblical wisdom, and whatever book he is reading at the time.

Ken Murray and I discuss just a few of the 333 prophecies about Jesus Christ in the Old Testament.  

70 of these O.T. prophecies were fulfilled in the last week of Christ's human life.   

These prophecies are specific enough that the mathematical probability of Jesus fulfilling even a handful of them, let alone all of them, is staggeringly improbable—if not impossible.

Today's episode features Tim Pebworth, United Church of God's Chairman of the Council of Elders and Director of French Speaking areas, who speaks on the subject of Conspiracies that so many, including devout Christians, can get caught up in.

My 17-year-old granddaughter, Elena Kubik, interviewed me for an 11th-grade assignment.  I just loved the job that she did and would like to share this 14-minute interview with you.
