  • Ep. 77 Church and Politics

    Thanks for listening. I appreciate your support. Say hi and let me know you enjoyed the episode. Also, suggest topics for a future episode.

    In this episode of the Words for Change podcast, we delve into the complex relationship between Christianity and politics, sparked by a powerful quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: "The church must be reminded that it is not the master or servant of the state." We explore how faith communities can engage with political systems without losing their spiritual mission. The discussion touches on historical perspectives, including the civil rights movement, and modern challenges, such as political endorsements in churches. We also reflect on how the teachings of Jesus, particularly John 18:36, inform our understanding of Christian engagement in politics. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges the way we think about the church's role in shaping societal values.

  • Ep. 70 Diddy and Domestic Abuse

    Thanks for listening. I appreciate your support. Say hi and let me know you enjoyed the episode. Also, suggest topics for a future episode.

    On the heels of Sean "Diddy" Combs and Cassidy's domestic violence case. The staggering reality that one in four Christian women has faced domestic violence in the U.S. is not just a statistic; it's a catalyst for our in-depth exploration of the emotional, psychological, and financial afflictions that accompany this crisis. 

    I challenge entrenched beliefs and the notion that suffering in silence is an act of piety, advocating instead for informed compassion and a New Testament-rooted approach to men and women relationships.  We discuss the critical role of professional therapy within spiritual practices and the imperative for church leaders to become educated allies.

  • Ep.69 Power of Faith and Miracles in Healing #faith #miracles

    Thanks for listening. I appreciate your support. Say hi and let me know you enjoyed the episode. Also, suggest topics for a future episode.

    Have you ever witnessed a moment that seemed to defy all explanation, one that could only be called a miracle? Pastor David Choctaw joins us to recount such moments, revealing the profound effects of healing prayer on lives around the globe. From the deeply personal to the widely influential, David's stories unveil the transformative power of reconnecting with faith. He takes us on an international journey, from teaching in Uganda to witnessing an entire community's response to the call of missionary work, demonstrating how a united purpose can heal and rebuild even the most broken places. #divinehealing # #miracles

    Our conversation with David doesn't shy away from the intimate struggles that test our faith. He shares the emotional narrative of his wife's battle with FSH muscular dystrophy, and the miraculous turn their lives took after years of prayer and hope. This testament to unwavering belief sits at the heart of our discussion, embodying the episode's spirit of seeking solace in the divine. David's experience also poses a compelling question: where does the line blur between divine intervention and human perseverance in the face of illness?

  • Ep. 68 A Biblical Perspective on Polygamy in America#relationships #culture

    Thanks for listening. I appreciate your support. Say hi and let me know you enjoyed the episode. Also, suggest topics for a future episode.

    Our latest episode delves into the heart of this evolution, where tax codes and parental rights are just the tip of the iceberg. The conversation takes a turn when we peel back the curtain on the often conflated concepts of polyamory and polygamy.  #joerogan #bretweinstein

    Biblical passages hint at the age-old presence of such practices. We don't just stop at the theory; we also confront the real-world legal hurdles that people in these relationships face, creating a dialogue that's as informative as it is provocative.

    And just when you think you've heard it all, we introduce you to polyandry – a world where one woman balances the hearts of multiple husbands. This episode isn't just a listen; it's a leap into a future where the definition of relationships is as diverse as the individuals within them.
