AI, Ethics, Misunderstandings, and Ministry?

EP 11: Love, The Church, and Eternal Life

In this episode, Bro Derrick & Bro. Michael wrestle with the theme of "love" and how it directly relates to our function as fellow believers in the local church, what that should bring about, how that should cause us to contemplate, fundamentally, IF we even have eternal life! John penned 1 John with the key purpose of helping his readers to discern if they are truly saved, giving a vivid picture of how genuine saving faith should be demonstrated- all revolving around a particular kind of love.

EP 10: The Forbidden Subject of... Abortion

This was a difficult episode for both of us, as the subject, by nature, brings an emotional response. But as usual, we attempt to apply a biblical perspective to this divisive and often hotly-debated subject that so many get wrong. We pray this episode not only shines a burning light on the matter but also offers hope where many find it hard to find. Also - you might look up the song "Blue Eyes Like Janey's" by David W. Huff, or simply check it here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VK7WnC2rXDM?si=3SqU5HZ2FawBMbRE
