A Fight Every Man Needs To Have (W/ Eugene Bach)
Send us a textThere is a warrior spirit in men that must come out one way or another. You can pervert the warrior spirit in men, but you cannot suppress it. God made men for war as God also created government for order. There is a proper place for the military, government, and war. Only in Christianity do these powerhouses of influence find their proper place in the world. Eugene Bach is a Christian who served in the Marine Corp. Today, Eugene is using the skills and principles he learned in the military to advance the...

What My Sister Saw Me Do (With Lisa Gessler)
Send us a textIf you ever want to know the truth about yourself, you should ask your sister. She will tell you the truth! We all have our heroes whom we aspire to emulate, but sometimes, on closer inspection, our heroes turn out to have glaring warts of character. My Dad, who has always been my hero, became a Christian in his late teen years. I have often heard about how his character changed during that time and how he became a beloved leader. But what if my Dad's sister could tell me another...

The Problem Christians Have With Good News
Send us a textChristians are all about the "good news", but we can't seem to believe anything except that the future is bad. We seem to be addicted to Debby-downerism. Why is this? Are we required to believe that the world is going to hell in a handbasket? Do Christians have a grid for believing good news about the future?See today's podcast on video on GAB!➡️GAB TV On TELEGRAM➡️Telegram - https://t.me/TheGospel4PlanetEarthThe GESSLERS ON GAB➡️https://gab.com/KarlGesslerKarl Gessl...

Send us a textI grew up believing that real Christians must believe that the world is only roughly 6,000 years old, and it was created in six-twenty-four-hour periods. However, I have since discovered two things. First, I discovered that my questions about the earth's age seemed to be more important to me than they were to the author of Genesis. In other words, Genesis doesn't seem to be interested in giving answers to the questions I was asking. I will write more about this in the days to come.

Fear Only Fear (Luke 12)
Send us a textThis week's podcast is PACKED! We are returning to Luke 12 as we try to understand just what Jesus is warnings to His disciples about being afraid and what His exhortations mean for us thousands of years later! Could this be the solution to igniting Christian faith once again in the Western world? Plus, Karl sits down for a chat with Brent Burke who shares his story of coming to faith in a Baptist Church but finding himself more at home today in Anglicanism. What? Why? How? These are the questions we are pursuing as...

Should Christians Use Graphic Images to Protest Abortion?
Send us a textHow far should you go in the fight for life? Should Christians who believe that life begins at conception use graphic images of abortions to make their point? The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR) has started a campaign called the "Genocide Awareness Project (GAP), which uses the graphic images of abortions to expose what they call a current "genocide," which is taking place in the United States. Recently, I participated in a couple of these GAP events along with my two friends, Jamin and Dominic. In this week's podcast, the three of us gathered...

There and Back Again, A Catholic's Holiday
Send us a textAll religions are created equal. That is what we are taught to believe. “Religion” as we know the word today is, however, a misleading and largely unhelpful word when describing the world-views of various cultures and peoples. In today’s Western world, the word religion is used to categorize whole world-views as being superstitious or spiritual and, hence, having no real purchase on matters to do with the “real world” of space, time and matter. But this concept of religion is a modern myth. Suppose you could explore the different religions of the world on a perso...

"They Beat Me and I Was Blessed"
Send us a textAnna grew up in Armenia, the first nation to officially identify as "Christian". Anna's family identified as "Christian" but they didn't pray or read the Bible. In fact, when Anna wanted to learn more about Jesus, her mother refused to allow Anna to have a Bible, saying that the Bible "belongs in the church (building)".

The Gospel According To Stephen (Evangelism, The Gospel, and the Need to Speak)
Send us a textEvangelism in the first century did not sound like evangelism in the 21st century. Why not? Why didn't Jesus ever ask people if they knew where they would spend eternity? Why didn't the disciples tell people that Jesus has made a way for them to go to heaven? In this week's podcast, Karl explores Stephen's words to the High Priest during his trial before his martyrdom. As Evangelists in the twenty-first century, should we be sounding more like Stephen?Show Your Love! Become a Podcast Partner!Patreon.com/karlgesslerLearn more about Jesus here:https...
