The Postscript ShowThe Postscript ShowEpisode 238: Little Disciples: Why Kids’ Ministry Matters Now More Than EverIn today’s episode, we’re diving into the topic of children’s ministry and the critical work of establishing kids in their faith. From evangelizing and edifying to equipping young believers for service, the goal is not just to entertain children but to disciple them—to anchor them in God’s Word and prepare them to be faithful members of the body of Christ. With cultural distractions and spiritual opposition on the rise, the urgency to reach children early has never been greater.To help us unpack this topic, we’re joined by Pastor Craig Warner of First Bap...2025-08-041h 07The Postscript ShowThe Postscript ShowEpisode 237: Recovering the Role of the DeaconOn today’s show, we’re looking at one of the most common and yet misunderstood roles in the local church: the office of the deacon. While some see it as a stepping stone to greater leadership, others have turned it into a position of power. But when we return to the early church in Acts 6, what we find is a calling rooted in servanthood, urgency, and need. The Bible paints a clear and compelling picture: deacons were appointed to serve—literally to wait tables—not to lead spiritual governance, but to protect it. Their ministry enabled pastors and elders t...2025-07-211h 00The Postscript ShowThe Postscript ShowShort #29: Matt BusseJeff Grasher, Student Affairs & Bridge Program Director of Living Faith Bible Institute, invites student of LFBI, Matthew Busse, to share his testimony of salvation, discipleship, and how LFBI is equipping him for ministry.Visit https://www.lfbi.org/learnmore2025-06-2512 minThe Postscript ShowThe Postscript ShowShort #25: Joe MatteraJeff Grasher, Student Affairs & Bridge Program Director of Living Faith Bible Institute, invites student of LFBI, Joe Mattera, to share his testimony of salvation and how LFBI is building his faith.

It is a difference in terms that has a serious impact on the way we understand the New Testament. It also comes to influence our understanding of our very mission as Christians, our view of prophecy, and our eschatological outlook. What is this major discrepancy that is often misunderstood? Well, it’s the terms “Kingdom of God” and “Kingdom of Heaven”.

But what about other social injustices like economic equality or racial equity? Is it the aim of the Christian to fight against child labor or unjust wars, or advocate for environmental protections or public education? If so, in what way and in what context? What are the boundaries of Christian responsibility?

In November of 2024, New Jersey citizens began reporting sightings of strange drone-like objects lingering over their neighborhoods, bodies of water and even over military bases. Since that time, the department of defense has received over 5,000 reports of unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP). To make matters worse, government officials have been anything but transparent about what’s going on and have downplayed what appears to the American public like either a security threat or an alien invasion.Many of the reports, even from the experts, are su...2025-01-2757 minThe Postscript ShowThe Postscript ShowShort #24: Luis ZavalaStudent Affairs & Bridge Program Director at Living Faith Bible Institute, Jeff Grasher, interviews LFBI student Luis Zalava from Tampa Florida. Luis witnessed the civil war of El Salvador as a young boy which was accompanied by difficulty. Luis had many spiritual questions left unanswered by false religion though, and he drifted further from an interest in church after visiting a wild Pentecostal service. Luis however, did not lose interest in Jesus and the Bible. He eventually placed his faith in Christ sometime later after learning the gospel in the Bible on his own. Luis moved the U.S. and...2025-01-1511 minThe Postscript ShowThe Postscript ShowEpisode 215: How to Be Filled with the Holy SpiritTo be “filled with the Spirit” is a biblical phrase, often used but rarely understood. Some would use the phrase to describe either another Christian's character or a moment when someone seems to have divine inspiration. Most commonly, the term “filled with the Spirit” is used to describe sudden ecstatic behavior. What is clear is that the church struggles to understand what the Bible means when it says:Eph 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is]. 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spir...2025-01-131h 06The Postscript ShowThe Postscript ShowEpisode 214: The Trumpets of ScriptureThe trumpet is one of the most often used symbols in all of scripture. We see, particularly in the Old Testament, that the sound of a trump was used to gather an assembly, to call soldiers to war, and to draw people into worship. The Bible presents us with trumpets that call us into Christ’s arms, and trumpets that mark destruction during the tribulation.How do the trumpets differ, and how do they help us better understand God’s grand design?

Today on The Postscript we demonstrate a few apparent contradictions in Jesus’s miracles across gospel writers Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, showing how many so-called contradictions in the Bible are dismantled with simple Bible study principles such as context and key words, which illuminate a more holistic picture of the scene than one account could alone. There is purpose behind every apparent contradiction in the Bible that only the earnest and honest student of God’s Word...2024-09-231h 06The Postscript ShowThe Postscript ShowEpisode 205: Bible Canonization, Faith & Those Who Interpret Christian History SkepticallyAs believers, we know what we have in the Holy Bible is God's very words.

On today's show Provost of LFBI Brandon Briscoe has invited Pastor Alan back onto the show to discuss the related topic of Bible canonization.

People like Moses, King David, Ahab, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and the Jewish people. Fasting was employed as they sought forgiveness from egregious sins that they'd committed or when loved ones needed restoration for health issues, when people needed protection from danger or needed protection from their enemies. Fasting is not just a phenomenon of the Old Testament. Fasting continues to be recognized as an important way to draw near to God and to seek his face in times of...2024-08-0559 minThe Postscript ShowThe Postscript ShowEpisode 200: Human Consciousness, AI & a Biblical WorldviewIn our modern world, technology evolves so rapidly that we often don’t even take notice anymore. Technology is so integrated into our daily lives that it’s rare for us to take notice of it and even harder to be knowledgeable and circumspect about all the ways in which our lives are affected by the subtleties of these advancements. As Bible believing Christians, we should be asking the hard questions about how technology is impacting our families, our ministry and our outlook on the world.

In a Christological understanding of this concept, Christ shed his blood and rose from the dead in order to suffer in our stead and relieve us of the consequences of hell (1 Cor. 15:1-4, Ro. 6:23, Ro. 10:9-10, Col. 1:13-14) . In his grace and mercy, he pardoned our sin (Eph. 2:8-9, Ro. 11:6).

For decades now, the churches in the Living Faith Fellowship have taken this discipleship approach very seriously — allocating people and resources to make discipleship their priority within their local churches.

We know that anger can also cause turmoil. it can be explosive and cause destruction in our families, our relationships, our workplaces, and even in our churches.

Pastors can be exceptionally busy with the affairs of the church — staff meetings, counseling, setting the budget; making sure the building is safe, clean and ready; and of course the work of prayer, study, and preaching. But has the church created a culture that unnecessarily differentiates between the leadership of the pulpit and the leadership of day-to-day ministry?

In fact, the debate sits at the heart of the historic contention of the Roman Catholics who practice and perform pato baptism (infant baptism) and the Baptists who believe that baptism is reserved for those who have put their faith in Christ - which implies there is a free will and intellectual capacity to understand and receive the terms of the gospel, something which infants and small children cannot do.

But, if we pay attention to the stories of those individual leaders within the movement, we discover a very important lesson – namely, that when men are full of faith in God and his word, and fearlessly preach it, they can be mightily used for the kingdom of God. Conversely, men who trade truth for pragmatism or divide the body of Christ for their own righteous causes, will often do more to harm the kingdom then Today we...2024-03-111h 08The Postscript ShowThe Postscript ShowShort #18: Jerad CsukkerToday we speak with a student of Living Faith Bible Institute, Jerad Csukker who is the Teen and Young Adults Pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Lee's Summit, MO.
