This was a difficult episode to record and it will no doubt be difficult to listen to. Especially if you followed the ministry of Ravi Zacharias and held him in high regard, as we did. It was recently revealed through allegations and a subsequent investigation by RZIM and a third-party law firm that Ravi had participated in an ongoing scheme of sexual abuse against multiple women. This news came c...

Oneness believers have often been accused of being Modalists. This is not a new argument, it's been going on for nearly 2,000 years. Is this accusation fair? What exactly is Modalism? Do modern, Oneness Pentecostals actually believe in Modalism? We address these questions and more in this episode.

In previous episodes, we've discussed some verses that may have been misused in the Oneness vs. Trinity and some verses that, when used in context, are less than ideal for either side. In this episode, we will discuss some verses that are much more relevant to this debate. Subscribe to our podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to your podcasts. Comin...

In this episode, we welcome our wives back on the podcast for a fun "Holiday Special". We cover Thanksgiving, Christmas, favorite foods, family traditions, and Anne's fear of bread.

In this episode, we discuss an often-debated passage in the Oneness vs Trinity debate, Matthew 28:19. What are your thoughts on this verse? Let us know on your favorite social media platform. What does Matthew 28:19 tell us about the Godhead? Does this verse support a Oneness or Trinitarian view of God? Is this verse telling us how to baptize or simply that we should go and do it, while the specif...

In this episode, we discuss one of the most controversial verses in all of Scripture, 1 John 5:7. We will be asking some tough questions but we want to do more than just give you our answers. We want to hear your take on this verse. What does 1 John 5:7 tell us about the Godhead? Does this verse support a Oneness or Trinitarian view of God? Should we bring this scripture into the discussion at all...

In this episode, we continue a previous discussion of the nature of God, specifically in regard to the doctrines of Oneness and the Trinity. We started this conversation back in 2019 but held off on releasing the rest of the series, due to our desire to give the subject the treatment it deserves. We are finally ready to have the discussion at length. In this episode, which is basically part 2 of t...

A quick update from Jaredith.

We are kicking off 2020 a little late, but with some big plans! We had some technical issues with this recording. We were able to fix most of those, but among our plans for 2020 is an upgrade to our recording equipment. In this episode, we discuss some of our personal accomplishments (and big changes) in 2019 and share some plans for the future. We have some exciting guests that have committed to...

Lori Wagner returns to the podcast to discuss her book, "Through the Waters: The Life & Ministry of Evangelist Willie Johnson". This is an amazing story of a woman who refused to give up in the face of unbelievable adversity. She persevered through every obstacle and spent her life sharing the Gospel that had so dramatically changed her life. "Through the Waters" is available in print, ebook, and...

This is kind of a big deal! Our podcast is a part of an exciting new media platform from the United Pentecostal Church that we think you all should know about. https://discipleshipcentral.com/en/

In this episode, we attempt to lay a groundwork for our discussion of the nature of God, specifically in regards to the doctrines of Oneness and the Trinity. We wanted to take the time to lay out our intentions because of the sensitive nature of the topic. It's too easy to use words as weapons when dealing with deeply held beliefs. We think that we can do better. As Oneness believers, we want to b...

**CAVEAT** **We are very critical of some practices of the church and even more critical of some of the unBiblical aspects of church culture. It is not our intention to offend ANY of our listeners, whether Apostolics, other Pentecostals, Baptists, Catholics, etc. What we do want to do is challenge ALL of our listeners to rethink orthodoxy in light of Scripture. We are especially hard on Apostolics...

Thanks for listening to part 2 of the theology discussion, which is just the beginning of our "Doctrine Series". In this episode, we continue our discussion of the importance of theology in the process of developing our personal conception of faith and in "working out our own salvation with fear and trembling". This is important stuff! Our Doctrine Series will continue next week with the first of...

This is the first full episode of our "Doctrine Series", which will make up most of the remainder of Season 2. Over the course of this episode and the next episode (part 2 of the theology discussion), we cover theological subtopics ranging from Systematic Theology and the Theological Method to Practical and Historical Theology. This is the study of God. The "Science of God" if you will. Can we cov...

Bryce and Jaredith have a discussion on new technology and the future of evangelism with their pastor, Larry Arrowood and his grandson Matthew Arrowood, who is also a minister in the United Pentecostal Church. This gives us a multi-generational window through which to view the advent of new(er) technologies (such as podcasting, Facebook live, etc.) and their impact on how we do evangelism as we pl...

In the second episode of Season 2 of the podcast, Bryce and Jaredith are launching a new mini-series on the subject of doctrine. This episode gives an overview of what doctrine is and why it is important to the future of the church and to the individual lives of Christians. During the course of this series, we will cover doctrinal topics ranging from Orthodoxy and Ecclesiology to Christology and E...

In this episode of 2 Pentecostals and a Microphone, we sit down with Lori Wagner, author of over 20 books, including "Preach Like a Lady" and the brand new "Gender and Ministry". We discuss the idea of women in ministry and address the increasingly less common, but very much alive, notion that Paul taught that women should literally "be silent in the church" and "not have authority over a man". Si...

In episode 21, we sit down for a discussion with Nathan Maki, author of several works of historical fiction, including The War Within Series and his newest release, The Keeper's Crown.
