  • God’s plan

    The old adage “follow the money” doesn’t work here. These are messages from the Holy Spirit delivered through people whose goal is to make heaven more crowded. When the mission is to share the everlasting love of Jesus Christ with the world, the rest comes naturally. Thanks be to God that there are people who have these type of values. My prayer is that you open your ears and your heart for these messages.

    Love the podcast with multiple pastors giving input on the scripture readings for the week as we go through the whole bible in a year. Can’t imagine not continuing to do so next year!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jesus for Real: Matthew 28 - Mark1:1-20 | Ep. 12 | 4.08.26
Q: Why does Mark end abruptly, and what does that mean for readers today?
Mark ends with the women's reaction and their fear-turned-joy, signaling that the gospel continues through the audience's response and mission, rather than being a finished script.
Jesus for Real: Matthew 28 - Mark1:1-20 | Ep. 12 | 4.08.26
Q: How can we live out the Great Commission?
Disciples model living like Jesus in upward, inward, and outward directions, focusing on relationships, small groups, and practical outreach while making sure to live out what they preach, not merely discuss ideas.
Jesus for Real: Matthew 11-12 | Ep. 6 | 2.25.26
Q: Why does Matthew 12, 31 say the only sin that will never be forgiven is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?
Blaspheming against the Holy Spirit signifies a permanent and deliberate rejection of God's grace, indicating a hardened heart that chooses evil over the ultimate good of salvation.
Jesus for Real: Matthew 11-12 | Ep. 6 | 2.25.26
Q: What does Jesus mean by saying, God blesses those who do not fall away because of me in Matthew 11, 6?
Jesus emphasizes the importance of trusting in him despite challenges, noting that even in difficult situations like John's imprisonment, faith should remain steadfast.
Jesus For Real: Matthew 8:1 - 10:42 | Ep. 5 | 2.18.26
Q: In Matthew 10, 16, Jesus tells the disciples to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. What does this mean and how can we do this?
This instruction means being aware and wise in the world while also being trusting and open-hearted, thus reflecting Jesus's character.
