Drawing the Line 27.09.2021 32:25
There comes a time in a Christians life when they must Draw the Line against sin or possibly lose their life. Being ready for that difficult moment takes a conscious effort and determination to have an answer in your heart and mind before that great challenge comes and we must do what we know is right. Danny and Kurt will look at a few Scriptural examples of this and discuss the application for Ch...
So You Want to Preach? 20.09.2021 29:20
In this episode, Danny and Kurt discuss the challenges and potential pitfalls of having the desire to preach. This world is in desperate need of men who are willing to step into this work and share God's truth ( 2 Timothy 2:1-2 ).

When You Are the Enemy 11.09.2021 32:08
When facing evil in this life, we are fighting a spiritual battle against principalities and powers in the heavenly places.

Why Are There so Many Churches? 09.03.2020 36:45
Division is an unfortunate characteristic of modern Christianity. How can people with good intentions and an honest approach to the scripture come to starkly different conclusions about what the Church that Jesus built, the Church of the Bible, looks like? In this episode we discuss our plans to bring a series of podcasts comparing churches of today with the Church of scripture.
The Good Samaritan 13.01.2020 33:35

Did Paul Change His Mind About Baptism? 24.11.2019 45:49
What did Paul mean in 1 Corinthians 1:17, Christ did not send me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel... "? How can we reconcile this with the accounts of Paul in the book of Acts?

Transforming Our Minds 04.11.2019 54:47
This week we discuss the challenge that Paul gives us to "not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2): why it is vitally important, what the ultimate goal of it is, and how we can do it.
The Goodness and Severity of God 28.10.2019 51:15
God's revelation of himself to us through the scriptures describes him as merciful and loving yet also wrathful and avenging. This is not a matter of contradiction, as some might claim, rather it is the reality of God's personality and a consequence of his holiness and righteousness. We'll examine this and more in this episode. Join us and consider the goodness and severity of God.
The Rich Man and Lazarus 21.10.2019 1:05:12

Hard Sayings of Christ 12.10.2019 53:20
This week we discuss three "hard sayings" of Christ that challenge us to live more holy and Godly lives. These sayings are difficult because they call us to a higher standard of living than what comes naturally. By studying these things, we may understand more the wisdom and love of God and obtain a Christ-like disposition towards others, letting the light of the gospel shine through us and bringi...
What Can I Do? 30.09.2019 47:09
I’m just one person. Not many care about God’s word or His will accept those who are faithful to Him. How can I help? What can I do? What’s the best way to share the truth with the ones I love? Consider a few Bible examples of what people did when they loved the Lord, trusted His word, and realized that He will bless their efforts to move according to His will.

Are We Still Under the Old Law? 26.08.2019 44:46
