The Christian Podcast Community

Last episode, we explored the biblical truth that no one naturally seeks after God. But if that's true, then what does Jesus mean when He says that the Father draws people to Himself?
In this episode, Jeff and George dive into one of the most important questions in theology and evangelism: How does God draw people? Is it through feelings, circumstances, conviction, Scripture, preaching, or something else entirely?
Together they explore what the Bible teaches about the Holy Spirit's work in awakening spiritual desire, convicting hearts, and leading people toward Christ. They also discuss whether God's drawing can be resisted and why believers should remain focused on sharing the gospel rather than getting lost in theological extremes.
If you've ever wondered how salvation begins, what God's drawing looks like in real life, or how this affects evangelism, this conversation is for you.
Topics Covered:
• What Jesus meant when He said the Father draws people
• The difference between God's "wooing" and forcing
• The role of the Holy Spirit in salvation
• How God speaks through Scripture, preaching, and believers
• Signs that God may be drawing someone
• Can people resist God's drawing?
• Why this matters for everyday evangelism
The harvest is still plenteous, and the laborers are still few. Join us as we seek to understand God's work and our responsibility in reaching people with the gospel.

Ep.230 What does it mean to mortify sin?
In this episode, Nathaniel Jolly and Ekkie Tepsupornchai discuss what it means to mortify sin, why every Christian must take sin seriously, and how believers are called to put sin to death by the power of the Holy Spirit. Rather than managing sin, excusing sin, or making peace with sin, the Christian is called to wage war against it while resting in the finished work of Christ.

It's that time of year again! Time for my family to host a booth at the Rocky Mountain Homeschool Conference. While we are there, I wander around the exhibit halls and find some to interview. This allows them to pitch their exhibit outside the conference and I get content for an episode.
Unfortunately, my recording equipment messed up after the third interview. For part 1 I will play the first three that had no audio issue.

Andrew Rappaport dives deep into the intricacies of Roman Catholicism in this thought-provoking episode, dissecting the rise of Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy post-COVID. He engages in a compelling conversation with Pastor Chris Durkin, of Colts Neck Community Church, who shares his personal journey from a nominal Catholic upbringing to an evangelical pastor. They explore the misconceptions surrounding Catholic beliefs, emphasizing the critical difference between what the Church teaches and popular cultural perceptions. With witty banter that keeps the conversation lively, they tackle complex ideas such as the Catholic understanding of salvation, the role of tradition versus Scripture, and the often misunderstood doctrine of purgatory. As they navigate these theological waters, Andrew and Chris highlight the importance of biblical truth in addressing the questions and needs of those drawn to high church traditions, encouraging listeners to think critically about the faith they share with their Catholic friends and family. This episode is not just a critique; it is an invitation for listeners to engage in meaningful conversations about faith, truth, and the grace offered through Christ.
Takeaways:
The discussion highlights the resurgence of Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, especially post-COVID, raising questions about the true understanding of Catholic beliefs among former adherents and those curious about the faith.
Pastor Chris emphasizes the critical need for clear biblical teaching to counter misconceptions about Catholicism, stressing that many do not actually know what the Catholic Church teaches.
The episode delves into the idolatrous practices within Catholicism, particularly regarding Mary and the saints, and how these beliefs diverge from biblical teaching about worship and salvation.
A significant point made is that adding anything to the Gospel, such as purgatory or the necessity of works for salvation, undermines the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
Listeners are encouraged to engage with Catholics in their communities, focusing on grace and truth, and to clarify misunderstandings about salvation and the authority of scripture versus church tradition.
The conversation concludes with a call to action for Christians to not only share the Gospel but to also challenge the erroneous teachings of Catholicism in a loving yet firm manner, reflecting on the church's role in today's culture.

Continuing to march through and with Mark at River Of Life OPC Phillipsburg, NJ. More religious men come to test and trap Jesus. But Jesus will not be trapped. He will correct these men in love.
