Tentmakers Podcast

In this episode, Summit gives a short explanation of his song, Christmas Light of the Gospel. There is much to be remembered at Christmas, but one theme that often goes undiscussed is the holiness of God in the birth of Christ. Merry Christmas from the Tentmakers!

This episode will help you consider the need for apologetics and the manner in which Christians should practice it.

Where does theology overlap with creativity? How do Christians faithfully create things to the glory of God? Why do we see biblical themes in secular creativity? Tune in to this episode of the Tentmakers Podcast, where our good friends from Not Qualified joined in to offer their input on these topics and more.  Our thanks go out to Joe and Zephram for using their time to record this episode,...

Christians have a clear calling from God's Word to be taking the gospel to the ends of the earth. Psalm 19 is a beautiful psalm that speaks of God's glory and might in creation, but it also has some severe implications regarding the lost status of the world and the Christian's duty to fulfill the Great Commission. Tune in to this episode of the Tentmakers Podcast and be edified by a journey throug...

Philippians 4:13 is one of the most misquoted, misuse and utterly abused verses in the Bible. Saying "I can do all things" or even "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" has become, for many people, a sort of catchphrase, detached from its original meaning. But when we remove scripture from its original meaning – (there is only one correct interpretation of any given verse) – t...

In this laid-back conversation, the Tentmakers discuss some of the big changes that this ministry has been undergoing.

Grab some coffee, press the play button and enjoy this unique new episode on the Tentmakers...

The Sinner’s Prayer is a prayer that people say or lead others in that typically follows some kind of formula that is intended to help people respond to the gospel appropriately. But is it biblical? Is it a healthy thing to practice? In this episode, the Tentmakers provide some biblical responses to these questions and test this cliché by the Word of God.  Do you have questions? Comments? Objectio...

Literally just a conversation between Stephan and Summit. Some Tentmakers announcements, some discussing Mormonism, and some storytelling. Turn your mind of and tune in for this episode of Tentmakers!

It’s easy to take God’s creation for granted. We do it all the time. God has given us life in a world that is filled with good gifts and we often fail to see them as good gifts. We tend to view some things as worthy of gratitude, so we pray and thank God for them (like a sit-down meal with a group of friends), and other things (like a couch that we sit on or a mug that we drink from) as mere items...

How could a loving God ordain and command violence! Peyton invites Kyle Murray onto the podcast to chat about this topic!

We hear a lot about the Bible and what it says, but how do we know that this book actually has relevancy today? Why are people applying the words of this book to their lives now when it was written thousands of years ago? Should everyone listen to what it says? Tune in to this episode as Peyton and Stephan unpack this question and talk about arguments and counter-arguments for the relevancy of the...

"We're all God's children!" How many of you have heard/seen that statement before? Talk about a cliché! Of course we understand that just because something is a cliché doesn't mean it's untruthful, but have you ever really pondered the accuracy of that statement? Is everyone actually a child of God? If so, what are the implications of that? Tune in to this conversation between Stephan and Summit a...

As Christians, how can we strengthen our assurance of the salvation that Christ bought for us? In this episode, Summit, Stephan and Peyton discuss the truth that Christians may not always feel saved, they dig into the dangers of lacking assurance, and then they offer some practical ways that we can use to find rest in Jesus and His accomplishment on the cross.

Can you know that you are saved before you die? Does the Bible teach that you can know this? How can Christians be confident in their salvation? Tune in to this episode of Tentmakers Podcast to hear what scripture teaches on this topic. If you're a Christian, it's likely that you have doubted your salvation. Many, if not all,  Christians struggle with assurance of salvation at some point in t...

True or false: God will never give you more than you can handle. In this week's episode, Stephan and Summit launch a new series on the Tentmakers Podcast called "Today's Clichés." The first cliché up for discussion is the famous claim that God will never give someone more than he/she can handle.  Tune in and see what the Bible says about this topic.

Life is temporary, God is eternal. Either devote your life to the smoke of today or turn your eyes to Jesus. He is the eternal King and the only way to eternal life. There are ultimately two options for you: either perish trying to live for the smoke of today, or live to seek God before and above all else.

God made a way for us to know Him, and knowing God causes us to praise God. And when we are praising God, we are glorifying Him. In knowing Him, we are enjoying Him.

We're back. What's new?
