Saint K explores the testimonies from abolitionists like Sarah Grimke and Nehemiah Caulkins and their stated convictions that led many Christians to oppose slavery. I also delve into the impact of Harriet Beecher Stowe's 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' and the tireless efforts of William Wilberforce in the abolition movement. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes the legacy of Christian abolition...

In this episode of the Foreign Saints Podcast, Saint K uses the biblical narratives of the Hebrews and Ruth to illustrate how God offers a new identity rooted in love and redemption. This message addresses some challenges faced by the transgender community, the role of empathy in understanding their struggles, and the transformative power of the gospel. Ultimately, Saint K calls for a compassionat...

Is biological sex in humans a binary? What does the data say about gender affirming care techniques such as social transition, hormone therapies, and sex re-assignment surgeries? I dip into my respiratory therapists bag for a bit to speak on the sexual dimorphism of lung volumes and then take a deep dive into 2 meta-analyses by the American College of Pediatricians. This is a thinking-cap kind epi...

Elders, deacons, teachers, and other leaders abusing their flocks sexually, financially, etc, has become a common story in our culture and many are wondering why it's so difficult to stop. I think it stems back to not following what Jesus said in Matthew 18. Jesus gave us a formula that, if used, would prevent so much tragedy before it occured. It's the formula for ex-communication and fin...

https://www.viddykh.org/ I interview Dump Harper, a Christian who has co-founded a mental health service for Ukrainian youth. He has endured such horrors as missile strikes and deaths while serving Jesus in this way. He offers some much needed clarity on the Ukrainian conflict and the spiritual warfare going on in the midst of it. We also discuss Christian nationalism here and abroad and lift the...

This episode is for black Chelsea (she knows what I'm referring to) who was one of my patients a few weeks ago. She asked me a couple questions concerning anger management and Cain's wife. She's a Christian, between church homes at the moment so everybody pray for her and I hope this episode blessed you Chelsea, and any others with similar questions to you! 00:00 Intro 02:23 The Divine...

1 slave, 1 slaveowner, and 1 Gospel to unite them both! Paul's letter to Christian slaveowner Philemon shows Paul applying the virtue ethic of Jesus to a slave-master relationship within the church. God has begun creating his new humanity who won't practice slavery, but, love their neighbors instead. Instead of assuming you know what Paul believes and attacking straw-men I invite you to re...

Did Jesus or his apostles ever condemn slavery? The answer to that question, contrary to popular belief, is actually a yes. St. K explores how God's virtue ethic, made clear through Jesus, condemns slavery quite easily as a consequence. Afterwards, the teachings of the New Testament are put under a microscope to see and understand why Paul, who condemns slavery clearly in 1 Timothy 1:3-11, wou...

Too many Christians are rattled by the slavery verses in the bible and some have even left the faith over misunderstanding God's plan to use slavery to end slavery. Many people believe the Old Testament system of slavery to be the equal of the american south's chattel slavery. I show a plethora of verses that prove that isn't true and then show how these verses moved Israel away from t...

In this episode of Kingdom Chronicles, St. K addresses the narrative surrounding hypocrisy in Christianity in light of the suffering endured by Nigerian Christians. Through powerful stories of widows who have lost their husbands to Islamist attacks, he challenges the perception of hypocrisy by showcasing the resilience and faith of these women. The discussion emphasizes the importance of forgivene...

In this conversation, St. K explores the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 18, focusing on the concepts of greatness in the kingdom of heaven, the importance of humility, and the protection of believers. He emphasizes that true greatness is defined by childlike humility and warns against the temptations that lead believers astray. The discussion also touches on the role of free will in sin and the nec...

He emphasizes the inherent human weakness that often leads to the failure of these resolutions and explores how true transformation can only come through a relationship with Jesus. The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing one's spiritual...

The first of two holiday meditations this year. I wanted to encourage Christians that may have had some difficult gospel conversations over the past few days that God is still with you. Standing firm and representing the gospel properly is completely in line with the point of Christmas, as long as you do it in love. We're all called to suffer insults and mockery in the name of Jesus. Be blessed an...

He explores the intersection of physical ailments and spiritual warfare, the nature of doubt, and how to navigate trauma inflicted by church systems.

Saint K explores the authority of Jesus and the significance of the transfiguration. We go to the writings of Apostle Peter for clarity on what God wants us to learn from this event and show why skeptics read this passage wrong. This is another study where I hope you see the thorough connectedness of the Old and New Testament, understanding that Christianity IS true Judaism. 00:00 Introduction 03:...

A kind bully? Is that even possible? I think the social aftermath of this election has revealed that many people who claim to be kind, empathetic, and loving are actually deceiving themselves about their own character. This episode will explore the bible's handling of empathy and compassion so that we foreign saints can be more faithful to our God and train us to better engage the lost and dying w...

The question is as old as the country itself, but, considering the apostles & prophets did not live in a democracy they couldn't have given us any relevant scripture on this topic...or could they? Would they tell us to vote republican, democrat, or perhaps show us how that very question sets us up for failure? Additionally, I bring a challenge and invitation to ethnic minority Christians who m...

A section of scripture that divides multiple different sects of Christianity while being a heretics playground is our target today. I've seen commentaries skimp on this passage before but you know Foreign Saints will deep dive it. Is Peter being declared Pope here? Does this passage threaten the idea of sola scriptura? The answer to these different topics will deeply impact how you read your New T...

Jesus had a lot to say the Pharisees and Sadducees. Together they represented conservative and liberal theology gone wrong and Jesus said both groups were evil and adulterous because of how much evidence and clear teaching they rejected. Are you rejecting something that deep down you know God has revealed in the scriptures? My challenge and invitation is stop being intellectually dishonest about t...

No getting around it, Jesus referred to a woman as a dog. You can either reject it, ignore it, or learn from it. You know which option I'm going with on this show. If you want to know why Jesus did this, then listen in and have your mind blown! Enjoy and be blessed!

The topic of religious traditions is on the docket today as we see Jesus and the traditions of the Jewish elders at the time clash. In the process I'll also explain why the food laws in the Torah are not binding on followers of Jesus today whether Jew or Gentile by surveying the New Testament writings for the teachings of the apostles on the topic as they clashed with the ancient hebrew roots move...

Was Jesus a prophet of God or God himself? Actually, it's both! What was the true meaning behind the multiplication of 5 loaves and 2 fish? Why did Jesus walk on the water to his disciples the way that he did? Does the bible teach the trinity or was it just a New Testament invention? All that and more in this episode of Foreign Saints! Enjoy and be blessed!
