  • Ep. 357 Response to The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, Episode 5

    11/09/2021 Duración: 30min

    Shows Main Idea – This review of episode five in The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill podcast series begins with a warning similar to the last episode about prescreening it before listening to it with others. This episode is not just gross, but it could cause a woman to lapse to a horrible time in her past if she has gone through a manipulating and inappropriately physical interaction with a man. Please use caution before you recommend this episode.

  • Ep. 356 Response to The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, Episode 4

    09/09/2021 Duración: 30min

    Shows Main Idea – This review is of episode four in the Christianity Today series, The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. CT warns the listeners that you may want to prescreen this episode due to the sexual nature and language. It is a gross episode—the first half—that may leave you feeling dirty after hearing it. The key idea is, why was the message so popular when the messenger was so flawed?

    01/09/2021 Duración: 30min

    All Christians have one common problem that sits foundationally at the core of their being; it is the biggest struggle in their lives. It makes sense, right? If each person’s mightiest battle were unique to them and dissimilar to everyone else, you’d have to be omniscient in your soul care endeavors. Mercifully, we all trace back to one man, and from him comes our universal struggle. It’s excellent news.

  • What's the Big Deal with You; Get the Vaccine Already?

    27/08/2021 Duración: 30min

    The whole world is at war. It’s a war between good and evil—as always. Some of the skirmishes are between military combatants, but the purpose of this piece is not between those warriors in the traditional theaters. I’m addressing those other warriors—specifically, those who have never been to war but have benefited from our most significant battles. I’m speaking to you and me. We have an adversary; he is the devil. He desires to devour us. The irony of our modern-day war is that it has come to us in the most innocuous of ways: should you take the vaccine or not?

In this episode, I will speak to some of the complicating issues.
