The Timeless Gospel

Episode 92: The Last One

Listen to the last episode of both the series on Biblical Submission in a Christian Marriage, and the last episode of the Timeless Gospel. Sermon Mentioned During the Episode: Episode 35: With All the Breaks Off [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4VgIWHUZzO1XNJLpoXYTZV?si=057bfb7e3558433c]   It has been one of the most meaningful projects of my life, this rich God honoring podcast. The Timeless Gospel began on almost 2 years ago, and has put out into the world 92 episodes.  Its broadcasts have made it possible for the Word of God to reach the lost and the saved, those who call themselves children of God, and those, we hope, will call themselves children of God in the future. Joy and I want to thank some people for supporting this wonderful podcast, and I say wonderful not because Joy or I are wonderful, but because God’s grace is wonderful, and any time it’s proclaimed, we are full of wonder and awe. First, we would like to thank dear Aunt Shirley, because without her the Romans tapes would not exist. We would also like to thank her for sharing her story of God’s grace on the podcast, which we know was not easy to do. We want to thank Dave for his 100% support of the idea of a podcast, and for giving me a glimpse of how clear and crisp Larry could sound through the magic of voice isolation software. We want to thank our guest, every single one, for trusting us to handle their stories with care.  We also want to thank those guests who aren’t in the public eye, for believing us when we told them that their Christianity, and their relationship with either Larry or the saints at New Covenant Bible church was worth sharing on the podcast. We want to thank Mandolin.  Mandolin did not hesitate when I asked her if she would be willing to play for the podcast and her music is the lovely lovely finishing touch to the sweet words of grace that permeates each episode. I want to thank you Joy, for saying yes when I asked you to be my co-host.  I can’t think of a better person to share this great privilege with.  It’s hard to put into words what you bring to this project.  Just a few come to mind though- Dedication, studiousness, warmth, and joy.   We thank Larry and Linda, together the epitome of those who have been transferred into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son, for raising us in the Faith, for being brave enough to proclaim the Gospel, and for displaying the picture of Christ and His Bride in their marriage.

Episode 91: "There Is No Flaw In You" Discussion 5 of a 6 Part Series on Biblical Submission in a Christian Marriage

Welcome back to The Timeless Gospel Podcast! In this episode, Joy and Faithann continue their six-part series on Biblical Submission in a Christian Marriage. Joy opens with an update everyone’s been waiting for—the mystery of the “missing $200”. From there, the conversation turns toward deeper truths drawn from Scripture and real-life stories. In this part of the series, we focus on: * Motive Matters – Submission is not about fear or rule-keeping. Joy highlights how the heart of a wife’s actions should be love—protecting her husband’s dignity, easing his burdens, and affirming his God-given role. * Fuel for Each Other – Respect and love are not optional extras; they are the very fuel that enables husbands and wives to thrive in their roles. * Stories of Trust – From crossing a busy Florida highway to family moments of obedience under pressure, these testimonies remind us how trust, proven over time, strengthens headship and unity. * The Real Picture – Submission is not slavery or blind obedience. It is part of a greater, beautiful picture of Christ and His church. With passages from Ephesians and Song of Songs, Joy directs our gaze away from human failures and toward the flawless love of Christ for His bride. Through personal stories, biblical teaching, and heartfelt reflection, this episode reminds us that the call to submission is not a burden but a reflection of freedom, love, and partnership in Christ.   Watch the first sermon on Daniel Montoya's series on the Song of Songs here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqx7YnSFYI8].   Purchase Timeless merch, like hoodies, mugs, and more here [https://www.bonfire.com/search/?q=The%20Timeless%20Gospel&tab=1&page=1].   Email Joy and Faithann at thetimelessgospel@gmail.com.

Episode 90: "A Better Friend" Discussion 4 of a 6 Part Series on Biblical Submission in a Christian Marriage

In this episode, hosts Faithann and Joy continue our six-part series on Biblical Submission in a Christian Marriage. We’ve been encouraged by the feedback from so many of you who have been following along, and we’re thankful for the opportunity to go deeper together. Before diving into today’s conversation, we pause to extend our deepest sympathies and prayers to the family of Charlie Kirk [https://tpusa.com/], a Christian father and cultural influencer whose life was tragically cut short. We mourn with his loved ones and pray for God’s comfort to surround them. In this part of the series, Faithann leads the discussion and unpacks three themes that highlight how biblical submission is not about rigid rule-keeping, but about cultivating a Spirit-filled, Christ-centered marriage: 1. A Little Something – How friendship between husband and wife reflects the exclusive intimacy Christ has with His bride. From inside jokes to quiet moments together, small daily habits strengthen the bond of friendship in marriage. 2. The Size of Things – Why wives don’t need to overstep as their husband’s PR arm or emotional spokesperson, and how learning to let go of small preferences can protect unity and respect. We talk candidly about eye-rolling, micromanaging, and trusting God with the balance of headship and support. 3. Grape Juice – A simple analogy with profound truth: our words should be concentrated, sweet, and reverent, not watered down by constant criticism or nagging. Just as grape juice should remind you of grapes, our words should reflect the grace of Christ in our marriages. Throughout this conversation, we circle back to the truth that friendship is not optional in Christian marriage. Roles matter, but without friendship, something vital is missing.

Episode 89: "Clearing The Brush" Discussion 3 of a 6 Part Series on Biblical Submission in a Christian Marriage

This episode is part 3 of our six-part series on Biblical Submission in a Christian Marriage. Together, Joy and Faithann walk through Scripture, personal reflections, and real-life examples to uncover what submission truly means in God’s design. Far from cultural stereotypes or distortions, this series aims to show the beauty of Christ and His bride, and how that picture brings life, grace, and unity into marriage. Too often, cultural baggage and unhealthy teaching, even in churches, distort what Scripture actually says. This conversation is all about clearing the brush—removing false ideas so we can see the beauty of Christ and His bride more clearly.
