Simple Discipleship - UNFILTERED

Bro, Ernie continues taking us deeper into The Book of ACTS in Chapter 11.  Grab your notebooks, your pen and your Word...let's go! Peter gets called on the carpet for one simple thing: he ate with Gentiles. That sounds small until you realize it threatened an entire worldview built on separation, tradition, and who gets counted as “clean.” We sit down in Acts 11:1–17 and track how the early...

Your past can be messy and your calling can still be real . We’re joined by nationally known etiquette, soft skills, and customer service expert Joy Weaver , and her story starts far from TV studios and corporate boardrooms. Joy shares how losing her mother at birth, growing up in rural West Texas, and navigating a divided spiritual life set the stage for a moment of surrender that changed everyth...

“Receiving Christ” is one of the most repeated phrases in church culture and it might be one of the most misunderstood. We slow down in John 1:12-18 and ask a direct question: what does it actually mean to receive Jesus in a biblical sense, not just as a moment of emotion or a public gesture? From Jesus’ first message of “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” to the apostles’ response in A...

We continue this deep dive into the Book of ACTS with Bro. John "Ernie" Perez.  Grab your notebooks, your pen and your Word...Let's go! “Receiving Jesus” can sound like a single moment, but Scripture paints something sturdier: repentance that turns your life around, faith that endures, and a covenant that reshapes how you live. We open John 1:12-14 and ask the hard question many chu...

Class is in session as we continue our study with Bro. Ernie into The Book of ACTS, Chapter 10, Part 2.  Get your notebooks, your pens and let's open the Word! An angel tells a Roman centurion that his prayers are remembered in heaven, yet he still needs to hear what he “ought” to do. That tension drives one of the most important moments in the Book of Acts, and we slow down in Acts 10 to see...

God doesn’t ask for perfection, but He does ask for honor, and Malachi makes that impossible to ignore. We gather around the table for a raw, practical Bible study in Malachi 1 where the Lord confronts His people for bringing blind, sick, and lame sacrifices, then we hold that mirror up to our own discipleship. We talk about what it means to be a royal priesthood today and why “offering” is bigger...

Some questions refuse to stay theoretical. Do we become angels when we die? Why do so many people claim “Christian” while their lives never change? How do you actually pray when you feel nothing and still believe God is listening? We go live for a Q&A with Brother Ernie and Sister Patty, and the conversation turns into a clear, Scripture-first path for anyone who wants real Christian disciples...

We continue our "class" led by Bro. Ernie Perez!  Get your notebooks, pens and the Word ready! Heaven doesn’t ignore a hungry heart and Acts 10 proves it. We sit around the table and walk through Acts chapter 10 part one, starting with Cornelius, a Roman centurion in Caesarea whose prayers and generous giving rise “as a memorial before God.” That single line challenges how we think about...

Join us "around the table" as we discuss The Gospel of St. John.  This is powerful!!!  “Let there be light” shows up long before Christmas and it’s bigger than the sun, the moon, or the stars. Around the table, we connect Genesis 1 to Jesus’ words in John, “I am the light of the world,” and we talk about what light actually does: it confronts darkness, separates what’s true, and brings o...

Sit around the table with us as we continue to dig into "A Simple Presentation into The Book of ACTS" with Bro. Ernie. Saul of Tarsus is convinced he’s doing God a favor, until a light brighter than daylight knocks him to the ground and a voice asks one piercing question: “Why are you persecuting me?” That moment on the road to Damascus is more than a dramatic conversion story. It’s a wa...

When headlines feel like they’re written to scare you, where do you place your weight? We pull up chairs around the table and talk with total honesty about war, uncertainty, and the spiritual whiplash so many people are feeling right now. Our anchor stays the same: God is still on the throne, and we can’t build our peace on a political party, a president, or “everything going well.” If your mind h...

Continue this journey with us as Bro. Ernie takes us deeper into "A Simple Presentation into the Book of ACTS".  Get your notebooks ready!!!! Saul of Tarsus had papers to arrest believers, a reputation for violence, and zero interest in becoming a disciple. Then Jesus meets him on the road, and everything changes. We sit down with Acts chapter 9:17–31 and slow-walk the moment where Anani...

Forgiveness is a word Christians say easily until you’re staring at the damage someone actually did. We pull up chairs around the table and get unfiltered about betrayal, abuse, family harm, and the kind of heartbreak that makes you build a steel wall around your heart just to survive. Some of us are widowed. Some of us carry pain from marriages and relationships that broke vows and broke trust. A...

Recorded as curriculum for our new E3 School of Ministries, join Bro. Ernie as we dive into The Gospel of St. John.  John’s opening line is not gentle. It grabs you by the collar: “In the beginning was the Word.” We sit down in a simple classroom-style Bible study and walk straight into John 1:1-18, letting Scripture define Scripture as we look at who Jesus is before we ever get to the manger, the...
