Simple Discipleship - UNFILTERED

“Who told you you’re dying?” With that one question, Tony Davis reframes fear, illness, and the way we measure hope. We sit down with Tony—pastor, guitarist, former rocker, and four–year pancreatic cancer survivor—to trace a road that runs from a garage church with turf floors to late–night biker club meetings and Sunday rally sermons. The beats are raw and human: Navy discharge and drug spirals,...

Join us "around the table" as we are joined by Bro. Mark Ellis, Bro. Ernie Perez, Sis. Sheila Ellis and Sis. Patti Perez and the girls.  The question is asked...What if the future of the church looks less like a stage and more like a living room? We gather around a table to answer raw, timely questions about shrinking trust in megachurch personalities, the rise of small groups, and why h...

Join us as Bro. Ernie Perez takes us into the continuing study of "A Simple Presentation into The Book of ACTS - Chapter 7".  Get your notebook ready!!!   Pressure doesn’t just test the church—it reveals it. We gather around Acts 6–7 and watch a swelling community face real needs, real conflict, and a real choice: drift into distraction or double down on prayer, the word, and Spirit-led...

Join us "Around the Table" with Bro. John "Ernie" Perez, Sis. Patti Perez and Sis. Audia as he takes us on the study of Circumcision in the Old and New Testament. What if the most controversial sign in Scripture is also one of the clearest windows into God’s faithfulness? We open the pages of Genesis and walk through the covenant story where God alone passes between the pieces,...

Please join us as we continue you with Bro. John "Ernie" Perez as he continues to teach us "A Simple Presentation into The Book of ACTS - Chapter 6".  Growth brings pressure—and in Acts 6 that pressure becomes the doorway to greater power. We open with a real tension: Hellenistic widows are being overlooked in the daily distribution. Instead of spinning plates, the apostles pro...

A cave, a trough, and strips of cloth—three ordinary details that unlock the meaning of Christmas. We trace the path from betrothal cups and Galilean wedding customs to a midnight sign given to priestly shepherds outside Bethlehem, revealing why a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths was heaven’s way of saying, Behold the Passover Lamb. We walk through Mary’s brave consent to the Holy Spirit, Joseph’s...

We continue our study into "A Simple Presentation in The Book of ACTS - Chapter 5 - Part 2" with Bro. Ernie Perez. What happens when an angel opens the jail and tells you to go right back to the place you were arrested and keep preaching? We walk through Acts 6 and watch courage take shape: crowds gather for healing, leaders scramble to control the narrative, and the apostles insist on a...

What if communion isn’t a ritual to rush but a doorway into life, healing, and courage? We open with fresh testimonies from a powerful ministry weekend—people leaving wheelchairs, oxygen set aside, faith rising—and then trace the story that makes sense of it all: the Passover lamb with no bones broken, the crucified Messiah who fulfilled that prophecy, and the living Christ who calls Himself the B...

M3's own Sis. Audia shares a beautiful story with her granddaughter Presley.  A ten-year-old asked to skip kids’ church and walked into the baptism waters with a smile she couldn’t shake. That moment didn’t come out of nowhere—it grew from a quiet year of prayer, a Thanksgiving kitchen conversation, and simple questions about what it means to invite Jesus into your heart. We share the story f...

We continue our study into "A Simple Presentation in The Book of ACTS - Chapter 5 - Part 2" with Bro. Ernie Perez.  A locked prison, posted guards, and empty cells at dawn—then the same preachers back in the temple, teaching like they never left. Our deep dive into Acts 5 follows that breathtaking sequence from angelic release to public proclamation, through a tense council hearing where...

With two of personal "Generals in the Faith", Bro. Ernie Perez and Bro. Mark Ellis, we had to pick their brains!!!  You will love this episode! Everybody starts chiming in! We begin to discuss Chapter 5 and then the wheels fall off, and we go into another direction!  What if awe returned to the center of our faith—would power follow? We open Acts 5 and find a community forced into honest...

A quiet garden, a heavy heart, and a prayer that still shapes our lives: not my will, but yours. We walk through Matthew 26:36–39 and wrestle with the deeper meaning of Gethsemane’s cup—not only the brutality of the cross, but the shock of felt separation as the sinless Son bears our sin. That moment reframes obedience, joy, and what blessing really looks like when the world pushes back. We connec...

Join us arount the table as we get into a Q & A Session with Bro. John "Ernie" Perez.  We dig into some "hot topics" today!  What if our politics don't mesh? What if the loudest battles of our time—elections, labels, social feeds—are just bait to pull our eyes off Jesus? We sat down with a room full of ministers and went straight at the fractures: how to honor leaders...

Bro. Ernie continues our study on "A Simple Presentation into The Book of ACTS", Chapter 5.  A world on edge can make faith feel fragile—until you watch the early church stand tall. We gather around the table to read Acts 5 with open Bibles and open hearts, tracing how integrity, reverence, and Spirit-led courage turn pressure into breakthrough. From campus awakenings to global headlines...

Bro. Ernie continues our study on "A Simple Presentation into The Book of ACTS", Chapter 4, Part 2.  A healed man at the Beautiful Gate and a courtroom full of power shouldn’t belong in the same story but Acts 4 brings them face to face—and everything changes. We walk through verses 19–37 with clear steps for real life: obey God rather than men, pray Scripture when pressure rises, and ex...

Join us as Bro. Ernie does a two-part series on TRUE DISCIPLESHIP.  What if following Jesus felt less like joining a club and more like apprenticing under a master craftsman? We take a clear-eyed look at the Great Commission across Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John and trace the common threads that shape a whole-life response: teach, preach, baptize, and go. Not into a monastery, but into real streets...

Join Bro. Ernie as he continues this dive into "True Discipleship" part 2.  What if belief is the beginning, not the finish line? We dig into Jesus’ final instructions and follow the thread through Acts to recover a discipleship pattern that actually forms people: repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins, and the empowering gift of the Holy Spirit. No shor...

We once again started to continue The Book of ACTS Study...but then we went Around the Table with Bro. Ernie, Sis. Patti, Sis. Audia, Sis. Anne, Sis. Tammie and Sis. Sandy and discussed...If baptism were only symbolic, why did the early church speak of burial and resurrection in the water? We open the door with Acts and walk through Romans 6 to explore a bolder claim: baptism is meant to mark us,...

Around the Table join Sis. Diana, Sis. Anne and Sis. Audia as we discuss how headlines hardened hearts, but ours broke. We watched people celebrate a killing and felt the weight of what that says about our culture—and about our souls. That grief led us straight to the question that matters most: are we actually ready to meet Jesus if he came today? We share why “rapture ready” isn’t about a bumper...

Join us around the table as Sis. Audia, Sis. Anne and myself continue our study on "Are YOU Rapture Ready???" The shofar theme runs through every page of scripture we explore, from the shadow of the feasts to the promise of a trumpet that changes everything. We revisit how Jesus precisely fulfilled the spring feasts—Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Pentecost—and make the cas...

Join us as Bro. Ernie continues our study on "A Simple Presentation into The Book of ACTS" - Chapter 4, Part 1.  A public miracle collides with a controlled narrative, and the shockwaves still reach us. We gather with Brother Ernie and the team to revisit the healing at the Beautiful Gate and follow the story into Acts 4: an arrest, an inquisition, and a bold reply that refuses to trade...

A crowd hears Peter preach, feels the cut of conviction, and asks the most important question a human can ask: What shall we do? From that moment in Acts 2 to the miracle at the temple gate in Acts 3, we follow the apostolic pattern that refuses shortcuts and embraces transformation. Faith begins the journey, but the right response to grace is repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ...

Join us Around the Table as we discuss what if the most life-changing move of God doesn’t happen under stage lights but at your kitchen table? We sit down with Brother Ernie Perez to trace a raw, honest path from conference culture to daily discipleship, asking why God opens some eyes and how we can learn to hear Jesus for ourselves. Instead of chasing the next event, we press into the practices t...

A single promise to Abraham echoes across history, and we follow that thread from covenant to modern headlines. We sit down as a team and ask hard questions: can you bless the Jewish people while withholding support from Israel, and what does Scripture actually say about nations, land, and blessing? The conversation moves from Genesis 12 to the words of Jesus in John 4, where living water flows ac...

Faith comes alive through extraordinary testimonies in this captivating conversation about modern-day miracles. Sister Diana and her guests peel back the curtain on supernatural experiences that defy explanation, from raising the dead to temporary healings that enable ministry despite physical impossibilities. The discussion begins with a fresh perspective on Peter and John healing the lame man at...
