Our Father's HeartThe 2819 Project (Part 2) | Ep. 168There seems to be a discrepancy between Jesus' command in Matthew 28:19 to baptize "in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" and the apostles' consistent practice of baptizing "in the name of Jesus Christ" throughout the book of Acts.This compelling episode dives deep into this fascinating enigma, examining what Jesus truly meant when addressing His disciples before ascending to heaven. Through careful biblical analysis, we explore the possibility that Jesus wasn't dictating specific words to say during baptism but rather instructing His followers on what to do with proper spiritual authority. If the disciples...2025-08-1351 min
Our Father's HeartThe 2819 Project (Part 1) | Ep. 167Today, joins us as we explore one of the most misunderstood aspects of Christian tradition – baptism as practiced in the early church versus how it's commonly performed today.This podcast will critically examine the baptismal formula practiced today (supposedly supported by Matthew 28:19) and comparing it with actual apostolic practice. In this thought-provoking episode, we introduce the concept of "The 2819 Project", drawing a parallel to how the controversial 1619 Project attempted to reframe American history. Present-day orthodoxy of baptism has similarly obscured biblical precedent.Through meticulous scriptural analysis, we discover a striking discrepancy: while Matthew records Jesus co...2025-08-0646 min
Our Father's HeartHearing God (Part 1) | Ep. 164Drawing from examples throughout scripture—from Samuel learning to recognize God's voice through Eli's guidance, to Jesus himself setting the perfect example of listening before speaking—this message reveals why some hear God clearly while others strain to hear anything at all. The answer lies not in technique, but in heart posture.Those with "uncircumcised ears" (bound by fleshly desires and rebellion) cannot truly hear God's voice. Many believers approach prayer as a monologue rather than a dialogue, speaking their requests and immediately concluding without giving God space to respond. This impatient, one-sided communication reveals our flesh-driven natu...2025-07-021h 15

This revelation challenges common trinitarian understandings and unveils a deeper truth: wh...2025-06-181h 20
Our Father's HeartDo We Really Need to Get Baptised Twice? | Ep. 161Is water baptism is just a symbolic ritual or something more essential? This thought-provoking episode tackles the controversial question: "Do we really need to get baptized twice?" – revealing powerful biblical truths that many contemporary churches have overlooked or diluted.Through a careful examination of Scripture, we uncover the inseparable relationship between water baptism and Spirit baptism. Beginning with the foundations of Paul's gospel message in 1 Corinthians 15 – that Christ died, was buried, and rose again – we trace how our response must mirror this three-part reality. Just as Jesus didn't merely die but was also buried and resurrected, our baptis...2025-05-2148 min

Pedro y los apóstoles replicaron:

Our Father's HeartSeeking the Fruit of Repentance | Ep. 159Jesus's final parables before His crucifixion reveal a Kingdom urgently seeking fruit—not just any fruit, but the fruit of genuine repentance. This message explores how Christ systematically dismantled religious hypocrisy through powerful stories that remain startlingly relevant today.When Jesus cursed the fruitless fig tree, He was setting the stage for confronting religious leaders who questioned His authority. Their rejection of John the Baptist's baptism revealed a pattern of rejecting God's counsel while maintaining a pretense of obedience. Through the parable of two sons, Jesus exposed how tax collectors and prostitutes who initially said "no" to Go...2025-04-2333 minReflexiones diarias Padre Juan Diego Ruiz Arango. Medellín.

de las entrañas de mi madre, y pronunció mi nombre.
Hizo de mi boca una espada afilada,
me escondió en la sombra de su mano;

por medio de ti me glorificaré».
