Joy in the Midst of the Storm Podcast

Many of us do things and don’t understand the repercussions of some of our actions. In this episode we discuss the New Zealand shooting where this guy mass-murdered about 50 people and injured around 20 more. This lead us to take it all the way back to the beginning in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve committed the first sin.  They did not understand the seriousness of their actions. They did...

We, as people, sometimes don't realize the power of God's word. We see this from the very beginning of time in Genesis. All God has to do is speak it, and it will happen. We look at God’s word as less than the words of our family, friends, and sometimes even our enemies. Let's look into the Bible and see just how powerful His word is and why we should take His word over anyone else's.   Verses Cov...

Compassion leads to an action. But We look at it as just a word. Jesus says to love your neighbor as yourself. According to the dictionary, a neighbor is someone who lives next door to you.

Who sold who into slavery? We take a deep dive into the Bible to answer this question and many more. Be blessed.   Ver...

This is a continuation of last week’s episode. We covered what it actually means to be born again. Jesus says that baptism in Jesus’ name and getting the gift of the Holy Ghost is necessary for salvation. Many peoples’ rebuttal will be the thieves on the cross. Jesus said He’d see them in heaven. However, the thieves were not baptized. Many people will say that this, along with many other reasons,...

Jesus says that we be born again to be saved. But what does ‘being born again’ actually mean? How are we actually saved? Do we just shake the preacher’s hand and repeat the saying, “I believe that Jesus is my personal lord and savior”? Or is it more than that? What about baptism? Is it an outward show of one’s new found life in Christ? Or is it more than that? Is faith alone enough to get into Hea...
