In Mark 3:29 Jesus said, “...whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin." What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Is there really a sin that God will never forgive? Can a non-believer who commits this sin later repent and be forgiven? In this episode, Pastor David and Nathan take a look at these challenging words of Jesus to find out what they mean for our lives.

The Bible clearly teaches that as we draw closer to the return of Jesus Christ, the world will continue to get worse. So what hope do we have for the effectiveness of the gospel? If the gospel is going out, why won't the world be getting better? It is easy to become dejected, hopeless, and even scared when thinking about the end times. But the Bible tells us that we don't have to be, and gives us hope.

Many people have a desire to experience the power of the Holy Spirit. But what does that look like? Many preachers and churches such as Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, David Diga Hernandez, Bill Johnson, Bethel Church, and others practice "slaying in the Spirit", a phenomenon where a person is apparently so overcome by the Spirit that they fall over and even begin shaking, laughing, yelling, or incapacitated and unable to move. But is this practice something that we find in the Bible? Is this what it looks like to experience the power of the Holy Spirit?

Are you looking for evidence that the Bible is true? This prophecy in Daniel 9 predicted the very day Jesus Christ would ride into Jerusalem and present Himself as the King of Israel over 500 years before it happened. Listen in as Pastor David and Nathan discuss Daniel's prophecy about "the seventy sevens", break down some of the math involved, and arrive at the conclusion that the Bible accurately predicts the future.

In this episode, Pastor David and Nathan discuss several different questions including:

• Should we be asking saints to pray for us?

• Should Christians support the death penalty?

• How did different races and ethnicities come about?

• How do you navigate heavy issues in Christian dating relationships as you consider marriage?

A false dichotomy has been presented to Christians: that they either have to accept the lifestyle of LGBTQ+ people (which is equated to love) or that if they don't, they hate the LGBTQ+ community. But is this true? Scripture shows us a better option. In this episode, Pastor David and Nathan examine the way that the apostle Paul reached LGBTQ+ people, the simple and effective message that some Christians have forgotten about, and the approach of "grace and truth" that characterized Jesus' ministry.

There are few topics in our culture today that garner more attention and controversy than the issue of homosexuality. Is it wrong? And if so, why is it wrong? What even is our basis for determining right and wrong? Pastor David and Nathan dive into some biblical passages that deal with the topic and discuss what the Bible has to say about homosexuality.

Today we continue to answer the question: "How has feminism infiltrated the church? And does it have a place in biblical Christianity?" In this episode, we specifically look at second and third-wave feminism and evaluate what we find from a Biblical perspective. Many of the agenda items of these feminist movements had to do with liberating women from "oppresive power structures" and giving them sexual freedom. As it turns out, what many feminists thought would liberate women actually puts them in chains. Jess (David's wife) shares from her personal experience how true liberation is found in Christ. Confusion about the differences between the genders and what a woman even is also found its way into feminism. So what place does feminism have in Biblical Christianity today and how is it impacting the Church?

Today we answer the question: "How has feminism infiltrated the church? And does it have a place in biblical Christianity?" In this episode, we specifically look at the beginnings of feminism and its first wave and evaluate what we find from a Biblical perspective. Feminism is a hard topic to deal with because the word itself represents different ideas to different people. As we examine the history of different feminist movements, we find some consistent themes and some surprising things. Certainly, some good things have come out of feminist movements, but along with the good have been many destructive and unbiblical ideas. So what place does feminism have in Biblical Christianity today and how is it impacting the Church?
