Conversations at the Ranch with Dudley Hall

In this episode, join Dudley and Karis for a conversation on what it means to pray from a certain point in history.  As Christians, praying from a point in history helps us connect with God while considering a specific event, person, or period in the past.

But in the midst of it all, there's a comforting promise from Jesus that reminds us we're not alone on this jou...

In this episode, join Dudley and Karis for a conversation exploring the narrative of God's plan of redemption. We pick up where we left off, with God using human instrumentality to accomplish His purposes. Israel becomes the lineage through which the promised Messiah, Jesus, would come.

As we go into July 2023, Dudley shares his monthly message on simplicity and how there are two vastly different stories being told about life.  It might seem like life has gotten more complex and confusing lately.

In this episode, join Dudley and Karis for a conversation about how many of us view our current times as the worst it’s ever been, yet we strive for hope.  While each day brings its own challenges, there is an optimism in knowing that, with God as our guide, each challenge fosters growth. While we are living in a divisive time, it’s important to continue to think Biblically and keep focused on hum...

As we are approaching the half-way mark of 2023, June’s Monthly Message is about something critically important in our lives: hope. Government can’t give you hope, the world can’t give you hope, money can’t give you hope. But believers have eternal and unshakeable hope because of Jesus. Today, Dudley talks about what it means to live with hope and why the hope we have inside us has the power to de...

Join Dudley as he c...

In these days we are trying to discern what God is saying, not only by studying the written word (which is relevant at all times), but in the events we are watching both in the church and in the world. His ways are beyond finding out by those whose eyes are blind, but to those admitting hunger, thirst, and desperation, He shows himself and His ways. Learn more: www. KerygmaVentures.com

Only when the church rightly identifies itself and begins to act like who we are is there any hope fo...

When a new administration comes to power, the list of values of that administration will be different than the previous one. When Jesus came on the scene, He announced that a new administration (kingdom) had come, and this administration was the final one. No other power would ever rise to replace it.

Each time you meet someone you can be sure of this: You are looking into the face of a person who desperately wants to be known, to be loved, and to be valued. We are designed for those longings to be met. When they are unmet, we are not only unsatisfied, but dangerous to ourselves and to our society. Invest in Kerygma Ventures: www. KerygmaVentures.com
