The Faith of the Father(s) w/ Karl Gessler

Send us Fan Mail Jesus admitted that he told parables just for the sake of confusing some people. "For those outside, " Jesus said, "everything comes in parables in order that they may see but nor perceive..." ( Mark 4:11-12 ).  Why would Jesus do this? Does Jesus play favorites? Did Jesus want some people to go to hell? In this week's episode, we will discover Jesus'...

Send us Fan Mail Security is nice. Yet, too much protection is not safe. It could lead to a wasted life. Jesus didn't teach His followers to be safe but to risk everything for His Kingdom. This week, we will be talking about how "stupid" people have faithfully followed Jesus. Leave a Comment https://www.karlgessler.com/contact Support the Podcast!

Send us Fan Mail Last week, we explored the possibility that Jesus may have given us a "word of knowledge" about the Coronavirus crisis.

We believe that you will be greatly encouraged through thi...
