I love to look at how Jesus relates to all kinds of people because His good character and wonderful emotional health perfectly reveal God's good character and amazing emotional health.Jesus said, "If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father [God]" - John 14:9If you want to know what God, who is invisible, is like, merely look at how Jesus relates to imperfect people who fail and sin. There is no one in the entire Bible who "has it together" or is morally perfect.There are only those who ar ...

Protection from Cults or even controlling dysfunctional Christian leaders can be accomplished by understanding not just the words of Jesus but "Who Jesus Is" and understanding... the "kind of person" that He is. Cult leaders use the words of Jesus but "detached" them from the person and character of Jesus! Beware. The best and only context for the …

As we are looking at the alignment of Russia & China, the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence and bizarre developments in human gene editing, the future looks beyond comprehension for most of us. Like never before our "history" or connection w/Jesus is no longer negotiable due to busyness or distraction or mere neglect. I look at 3 steps t…

Here are the Biblical Passages so you can look them up yourself and mark up your Bibles during Worship! 1. Did you know Micah predicted where Jesus would be born? (about 700 years before Jesus arrived) “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose o…

Take a quick look with me at the unspoken expectations we form of what God should do, when He should do it and how He should do it verses actually listening to God and following Him. You will be astonished to see Peter trying to control and manipulate Jesus and also be delighted with Jesus' good response to Peter over the course of his entire life …

I use the backdrop of some modern technology and the current China-Russia alliance to urge us to develop the different layers and depth of our connection with Jesus. Lastly I focus on 1 layer called "When God Came Through" and give an example of one of my When God Came Through stories and how to use them to fight battles against fear! Resources: Pl…

We get really confused by the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus gave us the commandments and the Sermon on the Mount, not to earn anything or to try to be "good enough" to get saved but because He saw us like Sheep without a Shepherd and He had radical compassion on us!!! He knew that going to heaven and being saved was free! Jesus knew it was by grace th…

Human beings have existed in an agricultural and farming culture and context for 1,000s of years but now after a brief interlude though the Industrial Revolution we exist in the Information Age. Therefore , isn't it interesting that Genesis records the beginning of suffering, pain and death with the Tree of Knowledge? And specifically the knowledge…

This is the 2nd half of the podcast on Noah's Flood. I wanted to summarize and look at Sodom and Gomorrah, the Exodus from Egypt, the Roman Conquest of Jerusalem in AD 70 and the book of Revelation relative to people's free will desire to respond to God or cling to evil. It's wonderful seeing that any who are willing to listen and learn will be pro…

I have heard so many people ask (and I have asked myself), "If God is so loving, why did He kill people in Noah's flood? Why does God seem so mean?" I've gone back to re-read the history of Noah's flood and there are a number of things I missed when I first read this. Consider listening and you will discover God's goodness in this time of history a…

So often I hear people accusing God of evil saying, "Why did God smite people in the Old Testament? Why did God kill people?" Take a few minutes and come discover the goodness of God in this ancient piece of history and find answers that will satisfy you about God's goodness and resolve unfair accusations against God. Here are 4 Links about Histori…

Listen to this episode and be encouraged to reclaim your stories of "when God came through" from the "pit of forgetfulness." Try remembering when God answered a prayer, helped a broken relationship or changed the course of events in your life. Reframe your internal narrative about life and existence. Don't let your identity be defined by the World …

I always thought I knew what the 4th Soil was. But I think I was very mistaken. Think with me for a few minutes and discover the goodness of Jesus! You will love this one! Too often we go down the route of Bad Religion and conclude that the 4th soil is the "morally perfect life." Well, the Bible shows that there is no morally perfect life. From Mos…

This a good one! This is the entire context of creating the book! Want to know why I spent 20 years digging through not only what Jesus said, but really focusing on "how" He related to different people? He is wonderful and He's amazing - but few people really know his goodness and "savior" Him! It's one thing to come to the scriptures and every pas…

This is the Capstone of Days 1 -17 (which try to reveal Jesus' good character to imperfect people)! Day 17 is also my very favorite episode because you see so much of Jesus' goodness to help Peter over come failure, grow and succeed! Peter has an epic journey of successes, failures and sins while walking with Jesus. However, the wonderful thing is …

This episode is for everyone who has an earth shattering failure or horrific sin and you "think" you know that God/Jesus is looking at you with shame, rejection, condemnation or "I told you so" on His face.... but He isn't! Peter commits the ultimate sin of totally betraying His friend and Lord (Jesus) because he is afraid the Romans will kill him.…

Wow, right when Jesus needs the disciples the most,.... what do they do? It's painful to realize but they fall asleep. But even here Jesus doesn't get moody or lash out. He is so emotionally healthy that He intensely challenges them to grow, to become more for their own good and for the good of others, even though they are failing Him! Jesus never …

The sinful argument of "Who Is the Greatest" is continuing in Peter's mind : ) In as sense this is the 4th time we read about this conflict with the Disciples. Peter is absolutely confident that the other 11 disciples might fall away and betray Jesus, but that he, Peter, will remain loyal to the very end. Jesus has some very simple but profound thi…

This episode is completely amazing in my mind because of what Jesus does right in the middle of this 3rd time the disciples are fighting with one another about "Who Is the Greatest!" Have you combined Luke 22 and John 13 and seen what Jesus does? It will change your whole view of Jesus and therefore it will change your whole view of God because, "I…

I love this one because we see that Peter wants to control Jesus for his own goals and expectations! This is so important to see this so that we can understand that we are doing the same thing with Jesus (often) and that we aren't the only ones. Peter and the disciples wanted to control God as much as we do and probably even more! However, the wond…

This event with Jesus crushing the furious storm on the Sea of Galilee and His intense challenge to the disciples was the first time I began to see that I had misinterpreted Jesus' intensity and fierceness. I thought (in my more broken and warped image of God) that He was frustrated and angry with the disciples and taking it out on them. Some years…

This one is almost comical given the amazingly holy moment of Jesus' earthly disguise being put aside for a moment and the disciples actually being able to see and perceive a little bit of Jesus' true identity, power and divinity. During this Peter offers to make Jesus, Moses and Elijah each a dirt hut or shelter out of branches. It's hilarious ...…

In this episode we can clearly see the sin of the disciples. James & John are offended with the Samaritans who will not offer hospitality to Jesus for food for an over night stay so they suggest burning down the entire village with a lightening bolt! It is a fit of anger and rage and is blatantly sinful. James and John are probably thinking of Elij…

I love this episode because we see 1 of the 12 Disciples that are the closest followers of Jesus struggle with Doubt! Many people wrestle with feelings of doubt and lack of belief in Jesus/God. And sometimes people get under condemnation about it or feel like they aren't good enough. We need to get away from those feelings and look at how Jesus res…

Strangely, this is a great passage for learning more about Jesus' emotional health and consequently understanding God's healthy emotions. Right in the middle of Jesus receiving the little children and babies, the disciples decide that this isn't the best use of Jesus' time or that He is too important for this or kind of thing... and they start runn…

This is an absolutely beautiful event in Jesus' life where parents are bringing children and babies to Jesus to touch them and bless them! And Jesus does! In fact as you read the text in Mark 10 (and also about the 1 child in Matt 18) you can see that Jesus tenderly takes the children in His arms and holds them as He prays for them. Jesus enjoys th…

This is a great event of Jesus' life. I know, I say that every time, but it is! Here we have an excellent event where Peter is worrying about his own sacrifices to follow Jesus compared to this rich guy Jesus has just talked to. It is possible that Peter is sinning in self-pity and feeling sorry for himself. I don't know about you but this is one o…

This episode is one of the best for truly understanding what Jesus is saying and getting rid of our old works-based image of God that is mostly rooted in condemnation, fear, rejection and generally just feeling like we "aren't good enough." Peter has a huge success and actually gets out of the boat and truly walks on water towards Jesus! It is amaz…

This is the continuation of the "Who Is the Greatest" argument which is blatant sin in the disciples lives. At this point James and John actually get their mom in on the argument and try to get her to manipulate Jesus to give them the greatest honor of human history. They want to sit at the right hand and the left hand of Jesus the God-man when He …
  continue reading
 
I love this piece of history because the disciples are confused about Jesus' parables and words. Well, do you relate? So, do I. Often I am confused about what Jesus said in the Bible. Well, so were the disciples! The great thing here is that Jesus doesn't criticize them for not understanding. Which is amazing given how we can talk to ourselves when…

This is such a great place to start looking at Jesus. You find out a lot about Him as He relates to the disciples during their failures and sins! During this episode we look at the disciples competing with one another in selfish ambition which Paul calls out as blatant sin (Philippians 2:3-4). In fact, I have been counting the disciples failures an…
