Deeper In The Word

yeah

We’re BACK for Season #7, y’all! Can you believe it? What started with a handful of listeners in June 2020 has grown into a multi-platform, award-winning podcast with listeners in over 45 different countries (seriously I don’t know ANYBODY in Morocco! BIG shoutout to Morocco, we love you!)! We’re coming up on our 6th year of this lil’ ol’ flagship podcast, and we couldn’t possibly be more grateful...

We continue our “Fall Features” Series with another special guest interview…and it’s a topic with which our “Deeper in the Word” audience should be VERY familiar! Because this episode, we are joined by renown author, speaker and Bible teacher, Ms. Ava Pennington of Bible Study Fellowship International, who will discuss her new book, entitled Flourish: Grace-Centered Practices to Protect and Grow a...

Join us as we kick off our special "Fall Features" Series - where we will feature a special guest interview every week - with our first installment of the series, a discussion with award-winning Gospel recording artist Darius Paulk and a show we've entitled, "Must Be the Music!"

Yunno…if you’ve ever been involved in a custody battle – or know someone who has – you know they can be long and protracted…AND, they can get extremely ugly at times. Truly, custody battles often can and do get VERY bitter and bring out the very worst in people. Well, friends…..did you know that YOU AND as Believers I are engaged in a battle that goes on DAILY for our very souls? EVERY DAY there i...

When we speak about the “fruit of our labors”, we’re talking about the outcome or rewards of our efforts in doing something…..that is, you see that the work you put into doing something starts to pay off. Well, when we talk about following Christ and trying to live a Christlike existence, there are certain markers or qualities which prove whether or not you will see the fruit of your labors; that...

Question: do YOU think you’re going to Heaven when you die? Well, I guess the first question should be whether or not you first BELIEVE that Heaven is a real place. If so, then the issue of you going or not going becomes paramount. But perhaps what’s even MORE paramount is WHY you think you’re going to Heaven when you die…like, what’s your BASIS for thinking that? And are you SURE you’re correct i...

It’s Holy Week! A time when we celebrate the sacrifice which Christ made for us when he went to the cross and died for our sins for all time., and what our RESPONSE to that sacrifice should look like. In fact, there’s a particular posture we should ALWAYS take when it comes to the reverence and adoration we show to the Lord….one of continual and true WORSHIP. But what does TRUE worship even look l...

As many of you know, “Deeper in the Word” and Benevolent Faith Ministries take very seriously our commitment to our international listeners, particularly those in countries where believing in the Gospel of Jesus Christ is prohibited or even illegal. The Bible tells us that we are ALL brothers and sisters in Christ, no matter what our geographic locations may be. That’s why what has been going on i...

Whether singing in your car or singing praise and worship, sometimes we get so caught up in the music and in the moment, that we can’t help but to let loose in total joy. It may look weird to some, and it MIGHT be downright offensive to others…because some in the church are more concerned about what OTHERS think or what OTHERS will say if they let themselves go and freely praise God. This is the s...

Christianity is under attack! Listen, that’s not hyperbole, that’s FACT. Not only do people OUTSIDE of the community of God denigrate and disrespect it, but worse still, what we’re seeing today are people INSIDE the community of God causing havoc, as well, through false teaching and spreading heresies. So how do we RECTIFY this? How can such behavior be addressed? Well, fortunately for us, the Bib...

You ever been cussed out by someone? You ever cussed someone ELSE out YOURSELF? In either instance, saying angry, offensive and profane words to another person isn’t exactly a pleasant experience. That’s why God’s Word instructs His children to AVOID using foul language at all costs….because there IS a cost to be paid for such disobedience in our speech. The Bible says that we WILL be accountable...

Sometimes life can truly throw some drama our way which makes us feel like we’re trapped….like we’ve been thrown into a lion’s den. Whether it’s the den of despair, the den of injustice or the den of hardship, we all can find ourselves in a space where the danger is very real and potentially life-threatening. Fortunately for us, there’s a guy in the Bible who went through this very thing and made...

We live in a society where people are more prone than EVER to do or say whatever they want. In fact, it’s almost considered “abnormal” when you exhibit any sense of righteousness in the world today. But even though the world is sinful, Christians still have to live IN it. We still have to interact with the lost (some of which may be in our own families) and we still have to deal with these world s...

If you love sports, you know what it’s like to be a fan of something….but there’s a difference between being a casual fan and being a diehard fan. It’s the same thing with being a Believer: there’s a difference between being a casual fan of Christ and being an avid follower of Him. Because fans can be fickle, right? One minute they love you, the next they hate you. Well, Jesus doesn’t need Believe...

What makes Christians distinguishable from the rest of society? That is, how can people TELL that we’re God’s saved people and NOT amongst the unsaved peoples of the world? So goes this episode of “Deeper in the Word”, which finds RevRob exploring the biblical theme of SEPARATION. The Bible tells Christians to be “in the world, not of it”….that means even though we live on this planet, we don’t ha...

Anytime you build a house or other structure, you need a blueprint plan, which gives you the proper parameters for building or constructing something. And when we look at the state of the church today – God’s house – it becomes apparent that there is MUCH that needs rebuilding. Whether it’s the attitudes INSIDE the building or the attitudes OUTSIDE the building, the entire concept of what it means...

Look, y'all….it's a FACT that the people of God need to be SEPARATE from the world. That doesn't mean that Believers should disassociate ourselves from others....just that we should NOT act like them. But when social media and other platforms keep us consistently tied to others who may think and believe differently than us, it's up to US to know when and how we must DISCONNECT, or unplug, ourselve...

Let’s face it…most people don’t like going to staff meeting, usually because they are either uninterested in the purpose of the meeting or they’re not too fond of a person (or people) who will be at the meeting, especially when that person or people are in leadership over them. But when it comes to the life and effectiveness of the house of God, church meetings are supposed to be approached with a...

....and no, this episode is NOT going to be about that well-respected newspaper of the same name, published by the Nation of Islam. Instead, our topic of discussion relates to the theological concept of eschatology; that is, the study of last things. Yes, we’re talking about the end times, friends. And of course, Jesus had a lot to say about the end times and what His followers could to do be prep...

Friends, this episode of season six is truly historic in nature. For the first time ever, we have not one but TWO – count ‘em – TWO special guests, and they hail from a world-famous ministry which most likely has authored church studies that even YOU may have been apart of or taken! Listen…..there have been some famous family names throughout the Western history of Christian kingdom work, but almo...

You ever had to run through an obstacle course? You know, where you had to run, jump, crawl, climb, hang, and swing through various obstacles as you competed for some goal or some prize? Well….doesn’t LIFE feel like that sometimes? Doesn’t it seem at times that the hurdles or other stumbling blocks which life places in our path make it OVERLY difficult for us to navigate through…..like you’re comp...

SEASON #6! Can you believe it? We’re over 125 episodes old, and we couldn’t thank you – our beloved listening audience – enough for tuning in these past four years to this lil ol’ podcast! So it’s only right that we kick off this season with another STELLAR special guest, speaking on another highly-relevant and important topic….and that’s the topic of international Christian mission work! However,...

Welp, we’ve done it again….another season of this flagship podcast in the book! Yes friends, we’ve reached the END of Season 5 of “Deeper in the Word”…..125 episodes in the books! What a journey it’s been! And we’re closing out Season 5 by discussing an important issue, which asks the question: ”why do so many people say they know and love God but don’t ACT like it?” See, our actions dictate what...

When the Bible talks about our “flesh”, what does it mean, exactly? Is it talking about the skin that covers our skeletons? Is it talking about the people we’re related to? Is it talking about the meat we eat or certain parts of our bodies? Well, it’s actually talking about ALL of those things…and in fact, it’s talking about much MORE than just those things, as well, because many times when the Bi...
