The Dance Of Life Podcast with Tudor Alexander

Throughout the bible we see an important pattern when it comes to suffering, that God is sovereign over all things that happen. This is good news, because it means suffering is inherently meaningful and it also means God can provide for us what we need during times of trouble. Today we will see what the bible says about suffering from a monergistic lens. * 00:00 - Introduction * 08:48 - God Appoints All Suffering * 29:04 - Rejoicing in Suffering * 51:41 - What the Bible Says About Suffering * 1:19:58 - Encouraging Verses * 1:38:48 - Perfectionism & Godly Excellence * 1:42:36 - Suffering Comes in Seasons * 1:44:21 - Paul's Sufferings in Colossians 1:24 This is a public episode.

With the recent stir caused by Kirk Cameron and his change of perspective on the afterlife, it’s important to review what the bible says on this topic. If we want to be biblical and sound in our understanding, we must go with what scripture alone says and not inject our man-made traditions and ideas -- regardless of how old -- into the reading, but rather read scripture plainly and also from the lens of those who wrote them long ago. So, what do the scriptures say? Today we will look at them very carefully. This is a public episode.

In the beginning God created man in His image, male and female He created them. This is part of the dance of life, but mankind also quickly fell and now struggles and toils with the Genesis curse.

A lot of the crybabies cry that I’m a Calvinist, because I believe in total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace and perseverance of the saints.

In the discussion of Christian eschatology, there are many paths to choose from — each seemingly valid ways to interpret history and the bible. But deeper study reminds us of Jesus’ words about the narrow road: few there are that find it because most go by the wide road. Today most are deceived on eschatological matters, and that is why it is important to walk as narrow of a path as possible. That path is amillennial historicism. * 00:00 - Introduction * 04:45 - The Main End Times Views * 36:13 - Amillennial Historicism * 51:11 - Christ Ruling * 1:07:08 - Why Historicism?

The New Testament is filled with reassuring words to give us complete and total confidence in God’s promise of redemption.

Over the last 10 years we have seen the systematic dismantling of the old liberal order that was atheistic and communistic, by the nationalistic, fascist, religious movement of MAGA. But MAGA’s life, like all psyops, had an expiration date from the beginning. Now that expiration date is nearing and the final reality is coming to light: a collapse of the dualistic political system altogether, a synthesis of right and left into the common good middle ground, which the true NWO governed by Catholic Social Teaching and which will submit all nations to the Beast. * 00:00 - Montage * 43:50 - Introduction & Housekeeping * 1:18:31 - JESUIT THEATER: Culture Shaping * 4:01:36 - JESUIT THEATER: Dialectics (Trump) * 4:47:28 - JESUIT THEATER: Dialectics (Venezuela) * 5:25:19 - JESUIT THEATER: Dialectics (MAGA) * 7:08:11 - The Image of the Beast This is a public episode.

The gospel is called the Good News (or happy news in Aramaic) because it promises something the world can never give you: eternal security in the finished work of Christ and a guaranteed future of reward of resurrection on the horizon.

Most Christians today believe that the Didache (an ancient Christian document) means “Sunday” when it mentions “The Lord’s Day” — but this is not true. Careful historical and scriptural analysis reveal an amazing fact: the writers of this document were actually referring to the Sabbath. And if that’s true, what does it mean for our understanding of the early Church? * 00:00 - Introduction * 13:39 - Overview of the Issues * 1:42:40 - The Lord’s Day in the Didache * 3:09:55 - Final Thoughts This is a public episode.

In today’s world we have more freedom than ever to actualize our purpose, which is to glorify God, but we also have more distractions and confusion than ever before.

In 2031 we will have arrived at the 2000th anniversary of the crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. Today the world around us has grown increasingly delusional, and many of the bible’s warnings have been fulfilled. Is it possible that we are living in the last decade? A deep analysis of history reveals a startling truth: there are more significant anniversaries in the period of 2024-2034 than probably at any other time in history, a telling sign that perhaps we are indeed at the end of time. * 00:00 - Introduction * 15:52 - The Return of Christ * 2:49:58 - The Last Decade * 4:44:59 - CHALLENGE: “Nobody Knows the Day or Hour” This is a public episode.

Long ago God commanded us to remember the Sabbath, because it would be forgotten. But God never forgets, and He has also preserved historical knowledge so that we can prove His word to be true.

Many Christians around the world celebrate the birth of Christ on December 25th, but some see all of the traditions and superstitions associated with Christmas as pagan rituals that were absorbed into Christianity.

By now most everyone has heard the term “NWO” or “New World Order” — but few actually understand the true puppetmasters behind the scenes. The bible tells us clearly where Satan gave the continuation of his earthly throne, and students of history know that all roads, ultimately, read to Rome. Today I sit down with veteran and author Darryl Eberhart to discuss secret societies and their subversive movements. This is a public episode.
