Text Us! God not only wants our homes to be saturated by the transformational power of our personal Pentecostal experience, but he wants each individual in our family to experience this power as well! On this episode, we demonstrate the importance of the family experiencing pentecost together, as we key in on certain biblical passages and accounts that affirm this truth.

Text Us! We often place an emphasis on Spirit infilling as it affects us in our worship at the house of God. That is certainly vitally important. However, sadly, little emphasis is placed on the affect Spirit infilling should have on our homes and families. That is precisely what we focus on in this episode.

Text Us! In this episode, we continue our discussion on Annihilationism with Chris Jordon. We specifically address 2 of the points made by Greg Boyd in his article on Annihilationism. The first point is whether a loving God can truly allow a person to suffer in a literal eternal hell. The second point is whether the eternality of hell somehow undermines the victorious nature of God. Here is the link to the article we discuss in this episode: https://reknew.org/2008/01/the-case-for-annihilationism/ Here is the book on hell that was referenced by Zondervan: https://a.co/d/4EzmJtX To learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.

Text Us! On this episode, we are joined by one of our newest professors at Free Gospel Bible Institute, Chris Jordon, to discuss the Annihilationist perspective on eternity. In this episode we address an article written by Greg Boyd. Particularly, we look at his claim that the soul of man is mortal and only receives immortality when it is granted eternal life from God at salvation. Further, we dissect the hermeneutical approach to terms in Scripture that seem to indicate that "eternal" and "forever" do not necessarily need to be taken in a literal sense.

Text Us! Was Jesus telling a parable—or giving us a glimpse into eternity? In Luke 16, the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus has stirred debate among scholars for quite some time. Some see it as a vivid illustration of hell’s reality, others as a true account of a man crying out from the flames. In this episode, we dig into the context, propose the view that seems to make the most sense to us, and draw out the timeless truths Jesus wanted us to see: the finality of judgment, the urgency of repentance, and the hope found in God’s Word. Join us as we explore what this powerful passage really means for life—and eternity!

Text Us! In this episode, we address a question that was sent into us by a young preacher. He asks, "as a young preacher, it is my desire to be as effective as I can be. How ought I to approach or posture myself toward the congregation, God, and even myself?" We spend some time addressing this question, pointing back to Christ as our ultimate example.

Text Us! In this episode, we spend some time addressing a question that was sent in to us by a listener. In Matthew 18, Jesus gives us the blueprint for how we should handle wrongdoings committed against us by a brother or sister in Christ. Have we deviated from the model that Jesus left us? Would following this model help us to resolve far more wrongdoings and differences within the church? What is the attitude and spirit that we should approach these conversations with? These are some of the questions that we address on this episode. To learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.

We look at some of the objections that are given to the possibility of NDE's or OBE's. We also explore some Biblical passages that seem to indicate the possibility of them. However, should Christians focus on trying to experience these? That is yet another question we will explore on this episode. We hope you enjoy!

Text Us! On this episode, we continue our series on the afterlife. We explore two philosophical arguments that seem to indicate the possibility of life after death. The first argument is one popularized by C.S. Lewis called "the argument from desire". The second argument is one that has been passed down through the generations called "Substance Dualism". Here is the link to the article on C.S. Lewis's argument from desire referenced in the episode: https://www.cslewisinstitute.org/resources/argument-from-desire/ Here is the link to a helpful article on Substance Dualism that was also referenced in the episode: https://arcapologetics.org/a-philosophical-and-historical-case-for-life-after-death/ If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here: https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.html Type the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast".
