The Postscript Show

A crucial and often uncomfortable topic that touches the heart of many individuals and churches alike is that of sexual sin and its impact on the Body of Christ. There is no doubt that there is something particularly devastating when one hears that a church friend, a confidante, or leader in the church has committed sexual sin. It is an offense to Christ and a violation of trust. For the church, i...

Sound Mind is a podcast that invites listeners into immersive, scripture-rich reflections on the mental, emotional, and spiritual realities of life—guided by a biblical lens and pastoral heart. The Host of Sound Mind is Jonathan Kindler professor at the Living Faith Bible Institute, Counselor at Sound Mind Counseling, and associate pastor at Midtown Baptist...

In the King James Bible, a unique distinction is made that isn’t clearly found in any other English versions of the Bible. It is a difference in terms that has a serious impact on the way we understand the New Testament. It also comes to influence our understanding of our very mission as Christians, our view of prophecy, and our eschatological outlook.  What is this major discrepancy that is often...

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Blade Sbisa in a conversation about death. The world offers many claims and assumptions about the end of our lives, but the Bible provides truth we can rely on. 

Evangelism holds a significant place in the life and mission of the Christian, but the truth is very few of us are doing it. Throughout Scripture, we see Jesus and the apostles engaging people in a way that reflects boldness and urgency — so what makes us so afraid of confronting people with that same degree of urgency.  On todays show, we are going to be speaking with Pastor Dylan Novak, who is a...

In today’s episode, we’re tackling a topic that challenges cultural norms and theological assumptions: polygamy. What was once considered a fringe practice in the U.S. is now gaining more visibility, prompting questions about marriage, ethics, and faith. What does the Bible say and how should Christians understand this subject? In the Old Testament we see polygamy in practice among patriarchs and...

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Blade Sbisa to discuss what it means to be human according to the Bible. Our world often pressures us to define ourselves by temporary external categories, but the Bible challenges us to look deeper and ground our identity in Christ. 

The Old Testament tabernacle was meticulously crafted according to divine instruction and served as the central place of worship and communion between God and His people during Israel’s wilderness journey. Far more than a portable sanctuary, the tabernacle was the tangible manifestation of God’s presence dwelling among His covenant people. Its detailed construction, from the outer court to the Mos...

For many, church is a sanctuary, a place of healing, guidance, and community. But for others, church can represent pain, betrayal, and confusion. Whether it’s due to witnessing a leadership failure, experiencing cultures of legalism, exclusion, or spiritual abuse - church hurt can leave lasting scars that challenge not only a person's trust in others, but also their relationship with God. How do p...

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Blade Sbisa in a conversation about human thoughts. The world teaches people to evaluate and respond to the circumstances of life with self at the center, while the Bible charges people to view themselves in relation to the Lord. 

Tithing has long been a fundamental practice among Christians as an act of faith and obedience. Many churches today continue to emphasize tithing as a means of supporting ministry, aiding the needy, and demonstrating trust in God’s provision. No doubt about it though, when money is involved, there will be bad actors. With the rise of televangelism and the seed-faith gospel, many Christians have gr...

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Blade Sbisa in a continuing conversation about what makes us human. This week, we look at God’s Word on concepts of gender and sex. 

Ministry is often portrayed as a calling, as it should be filled with purpose, impact, and divine fulfillment. Yet the reality for many pastors, missionaries, and church leaders is that gospel ministry comes with seasons of deep discouragement and often failure. Learning to recover from errors in judgment and feelings of failure and fruitlessness is absolutely crucial for someone's leadership, not...

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Blade Sbisa in a discussion about humanity’s ongoing integration with technology and how we can interface with technology in a biblically thoughtful way. 

In this long-form installment of the Ps+ we join Pastor Eric Phillips in a conversation about our flesh, what the Bible says about it, and how we can trust the Lord to deal with it to the glory of God. 

The Living Faith Bible Institute has a heart for church planting. Our curriculum, and experienced pastoral instructors and professors, focus teaching on equipping men and women for the work of missions and church planting, domestically and all over the world. Many of our graduates are investing in this very work, one of whom is Blade Sbisa, who along with his wife and his children, are currently p...

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Blade Sbisa in studying what the Bible has to say about what constitutes as a human. In today’s conversation, we find that the Bible asserts that man is more than just an advanced animal, but is a living soul with far greater worth and significance than any other earthly creature. 

In Revelation 11, we are given a depiction of the second half of the tribulation, the moment in the end times narrative where two men, two prophets, will be used to open the eyes of the Jewish people to the reality that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. Revelation 11:3 says, “And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in...

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Blade Sbisa to discuss man's rational mind, the constant noise of information and content in our world, and the Bible's call for to press beyond logic and reason in making comprehensive, ontological claims. Learn more at lfbi.org .

Since the inception of The Postscript, we have been meeting with Pastor Greg Axe, Church History instructor at the Living Faith Bible Institute, to discuss just that, the history of the church and God's work in the world through his people. The last few times we met, we chatted about Europe during the Reformation and then the Counter-Reformation. We've discussed quite a cast of characters over the...

We have made a habit over the years of inviting church planters and missionaries onto The Postscript to share their testimony, along with the twists and turns of the work of church planting, which is not an easy endeavor. One such church planter is Vinnie Nigro and his wife, Megan, of First Baptist Church in New Philadelphia, Ohio. Brandon Briscoe, the provost of Living Faith Bible Institute, has...

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Blade Sbisa in a conversation about Biblical Anthropology. This series will focus on a biblical study of what makes us human—beginning at the soul-level. 

“WWJD?” It's a virtuous aim for Christians to behave like Jesus Christ. Feeding and clothing the poor, caring for the orphan and widow are the command of Scripture, and a righteous pursuit of any disciple of Jesus Christ. But what about other social injustices like economic equality or racial equity? Is it the aim of the Christian to fight against child labor or unjust wars, or advocate for enviro...

There is no doubt about it, we are living in some strange times. In November of 2024, New Jersey citizens began reporting sightings of strange drone-like objects lingering over their neighborhoods, bodies of water and even over military bases. Since that time, the department of defense has received over 5,000 reports of unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP). To make matters worse, government offici...

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Thomas Harding one last time to discuss the Biblical way to return home from a missionary or church-planting work.
