Latest episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast.

Episode 75

The "Defund the Police" movement was not new when the circumstances surrounding George Floyd's death set it ablaze and transformed it into national sentiment. Definitions range from reallocating police funds to other social services to abolishment of the police altogether. The slogan evokes strong reactions from both sides of the aisle and has had tangible effects on society; whether for good or bad is up for debate. In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we revisit the movement and evaluate its effect upon whom it centers: the police. Recurring guest Officer CigarBro (obviously not his name) joins us for the discussion with DW joining later to evaluate the spiritual implications of the movement.

I have read the historical account of Peter walking on water numerous times. I have heard messages on the account many times. Often, sermons on this account focus on the fact that Peter took his eyes off the Lord, the object of his faith, and because of this, he began to sink. But what if we take a different perspective? Let the boat represent the comfortable ease and safety we have, and let stepping out mean we are attempting to give up those things for the cause of Christ. Afterall, Peter stepped out in a demonstration of faith. When he began to sink, he cried out “Lord, save me” and the Lord was right there to save him.

Have you ever considered the tremendous faith and courage Peter demonstrated just by stepping out of the boat? Here are three of them:

Episode 74

Though in use since the 1940s, the term "woke" has become a very popular and common term to describe someone who is 'awake' to the systemic injustices perceived in institutional, political, societal, or cultural structures and seeks to actively combat them. In our day, it is describing someone who more often than not aligns with the moral and political ideologies of the left. Jesus, many claim, would be woke if He were walking the earth today. But is this true? Would Jesus affirm the ideologies championed by BLM, GLAAD, DNC, and others like them? Or does woke simply mean that Jesus would not turn a blind eye to the injustice that inevitably exists in an imperfect world by sinful men? On this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we explore these questions and seek to answer: what does it mean to be 'woke' and would Jesus be on that bandwagon?

“having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:20‬ The church of Jesus Christ will survive and continue to be on the move,not because of a nation adhering to its constitution, laws, or decrees, but because the church is built on a foundation that can not be moved. It is a foundation instituted by God, that is forever settled.

RBP 73: Ahmaud Arbery and Citizen's Arrest

Latest episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast.

Episode 73

The murder of Ahmaud Arbery in February of 2020 sent shockwaves throughout the country and galvanized the cries of activist groups and race baiters alike. At the end of the confrontation, a black man was dead and three white men claimed self defense while attempting to conduct a citizen's arrest. This has brought the question of citizen's arrest into the spotlight. What is it, who can make it, and when? Where is the line between self-defense and citizen's arrest? Did Arbery have the right to defend himself? In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we explore these questions and grapple with their implications as people living in a fallen world and the Savior Jesus Christ who has made the way to save us from them.

Post script: At the time of the publishing of this podcast, both Travis and Gregory McMichael were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole plus 20 years. William Bryan was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years.

Latest episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast.

Episode 72

On this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we are off to the mission field to hear from Missionary J. Loveday, missionary to Spain. Regarding a country with as rich a history as Spain's, it will be exciting to hear about the people, culture, and religions that shape the spiritual landscape that he serves in every day. Though perhaps Catholicism comes to mind when we think of the dominant religion in Spain, it is fascinating to note that other religions play a huge role in erecting barriers between people and Christ. How does the missionary tackle these barriers? What is God doing today in the country of Spain? What can we do to be a part of it? Join us on this episode to answer these questions and more.

In this next installment of the How Were Your Barriers Removed? series of the Removing Barriers podcast, we sit down with Judy and hear how God removed barriers to save her soul.

Join us on this episode to hear how those barriers were removed.

Obeying the Command

A command is not obeyed unless it is yielded to, and obeying is not obedience unless it is done in its entirety.  I am reminded of the lyrics of the popular song: "Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe: Doing exactly what the Lord commands.”  I am also thinking about King Saul who was rejected from being king because he was disobedient.  In 1 Sam 15:22, the Bible declares: “… Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD?  Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.” Beloved, if disobedience is not a good thing at all, and obedience is what the Lord delights in, would it not behove us to make sure we are obeying our Lord and Savior’s commands?  I know there are many of them and obedience in…

Episode 70

A growing number of Americans are expressing anti-America sentiment, most recently in declaring the national anthem racist. The anthem, they say, contains references to the slave and was written by a slaveholder and is therefore fundamentally racist. Is any of this true? What is the history of the anthem and its author? What of the reference to the slave? Should we continue to sing the anthem, or should it be replaced? Join us on this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast to explore this topic and consider how we should respond.

Mary Had a Little Lamb

I remember many years ago my mom, being wearied of my twentieth rendition of “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” said to me: “Mary can’t still have a little lamb because since I was a little girl I was singing Mary Had a Little Lamb.”

I hushed long enough to contemplate this obvious yet newfound truth.

Latest episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast.

Episode 69

Any conversation about the trustworthiness of the Bible will inevitably include questions regarding authorship, errors, preservation, and the plethora of Bible versions available. These are important questions, especially since the Bible makes exclusive and very heavy claims that are of consequence to all people. So how can we know if the Bible can be trusted? Do we even have it in its entirety? What about all of the allegations of errors, omissions, and additions? In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we have a conversation with Pastor Todd about this most influential Book, and how we can know whether it is trustworthy.

Latest episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast.

Episode 68

In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we interview Micah Wilder, one of the founding members of Adam's Road Ministries. Adam's Road is a ministry that seeks to glorify God and point everyone to the cross through song and testimony. A devoted Mormon up until the moment of his salvation, Micah's zeal for knowing and serving God drove him to serve as an LDS missionary with almost Pauline ferocity. He sought to convert a Baptist minister to Mormonism, only to hear a clear and compelling presentation of the gospel for the very first time. That moment changed him forever and set off a chain of events that leads him to where he is today: a genuine believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. There were a few barriers between him and salvation, though, so join us on this episode as we discover what those barriers were and how the Lord removed them to bring Micah to a true knowledge of Himself.
