Haven't checked in on Wretched in a while. I come back to find that God is still using you guys mightly. I'm excited for this! God bless your ministry
Turned off all the news networks. Everybody has an agenda
Keep my nephews lifted in prayer they’re both in prison and one has surrendered to Jesus Christ and the other one is wrestling with suicidal thoughts. His name is Tim. The other one has been lied on and got a note about the lies and discord is brewing creating a hostile area; I’m concerned about him and his safety please pray with me that there is reconciliation in this situation and for his safety. His name is Raf! Thank you saints of God in Jesus Christ 🙌🏼
Praying
Praying right now that the lords will be done, and that the truth prevail! May God have mercy on us all!
Lord Jesus, hear this prayer and cry out for these two men. Praying for salvation and then someone to disciple them in truth and the faith. In Jesus name Amen
Praying also for them both.
@siblessed, you're so deep in this, maybe too deep. Go deeper with God's word. You still have avoided my responses. What are YOU AFRAID of? I've been praying over this feeling I have about 😢 hat it may be. Please God , God, ve me if I am wrong about siblessed. It is very troubling. Ty that we are all made in your image and likeness.
I hardly ever watch Fox News and I never watch the other networks. I'm more than a conservative, I'm a Christian.
I call myself a conservative evangelical because just calling yourself an evangelical doesn't work anymore. It's because some people call themselves evangelicals and they don't believe the Gospel. For them being evangelicals is just because they are not part of the main line denominations.
I'm a conservative Christian but half the folks who watch Fox are not conservative if you out here having drunk nights on the barn and 3 baby mamas and incest which very much does happen in the south you are not being conservative.
Why would Todd feel the need to do something from a network made up of Roman Catholics and atheists? Getting politically involved is something we are told not to get involved in. Our mission is to further the gospel not further the kingdoms of this world.
Yes, we are to be the light and salt, but we have lost our savor because we compromise our belief. We support Trump who supports abortion and the LGBTQIA2S+ agenda, because why? They tell us they are not as bad as Dems. The lesser of two evils or, as MacArthur, turned it around and thought it was clever, the more righteous.
They try to justify supporting someone who supports 99% of all abortions or not every LGBT+ as somehow God will take notice and save us from destruction. This is the same logic charismatics use to justify their sins.
Doreen Virtue would be the perfect female voice for this Christian “daily wire”
Doreen's good with her new age ministry but I think she's still young in the Lord for this, maybe in a few years.
Love the truth this guy sets down. I am so blessed by AIG and Wretched!!!
Noah's ark never happened. You're welcome.
@@steviacandyman7892 Noah's Ark, true history in the world. Thank you Jesus for the truth!
@@ForthrightForChrist-ts4io - How did the kangaroos go from Australia to the middle east and back to Australia after "the flood"?
I doubt this guy tells the truth. He just says what you want to hear.
There's dozens of reasons why the Noah tale is fiction. Here's just a few.
The tale of Noah's ark is a myth.
1) It was plagiarized from the epic of gilgamesh
2) the ark was unseaworthy. Firstly it would've snapped in half and if it didn't it would've sunk. All wooden ships leak
3) it couldn't hold all the animals even if you do the kinds thing. Then there's all the food and water required.
4) even if you forget about the food and water requirements, the inbreeding would do great harm if it didn't kill them
5) the genetic diversity we see today would be impossible if there were 2 or 7 animals.
6) if the ark didn't sink and they all survived without eating and drinking everything else would be dead so they all would starve anyway.
Praying for y'all during this transition. I'm excited to see where this leads!
Thank you brother Ken Ham for your Genesis ministry and all the brothers who are partnering with Gospel partners / wretched.
How about Susan Heck as the first woman.
Ha, I just mentioned her as well!
Thank my Lord for all you God fearing men. We all must stand for faith and stay in Gods Word
Biblical womanhood and how it’s applied in everyday life would be great! The feminist movement has permeated the church, you would be surprised in how Christian women react to the word submission, it is a complete trigger, we need clarity. Thank you ❤
Lord willing! That's definitely an area of emphasis we're praying about!
Yes! I actually just started a blog about Biblical womanhood because there is not much out there.
You can only submit to what you disagree with. That’s a key fact.
Charles Stanley had some serious family issues. Not sure he was everything people propped him up to be. His wife and son are extremely troubled souls.
men have a problem with submission, too. Probably why they are so insistent on women submitting. Log in you own eye time.
This should be interesting, I recognize 3 of the people. It's always interesting in the Christian world when we say "We have to do something.......". I a bit more optimistic with this group than I normally am.
So, what is the issue they want to address? Why is it urgent? What is their prescription? Is the prescription Biblical? Finally, what is the change and how does it fit in with the other questions?
I'm looking forward to listening.... Off the top of my head, I'm hoping to hear answers to those questions.
Great but don’t avoid politics either. We need to hear from Christians leaders on politics and cultural issues too.
Political and cultural issues at their foundation are SIN issues. The Bible hits at the root of this. If you know scripture, you will be able to not only recognize these “issues”, but also be able to properly navigate through them. The world is like someone trying to figure out different ways to not spill a cup of water on the floor so the floor doesn’t get wet. The Bible however, realizes the necessity of dealing with the water in the cup.
@@agapecenterministries9980 Right, anyway. It would be great for them to also pontificate on political and culture issues as the arise.
The time of Christians in politics is over. And that might turn out to be a good thing. Remember Rome...our business is about saving souls, no matter if we get persecuted under Nero or other wicked leaders...
For the Church to say that they should not be involved in discussion in politics is destructive. We need help to navigate these waters, especially this year and beyond. The antichrist will be a political figure.
@@christianpenguin2651 That's a pretty broad statement! Are you going to tell some of the wonderful Christians elected to offices including in the United States Congress that their time is over? Should Christian parents not go to school board meetings and speak of righteousness and truth to the board? Oh, how about this one I've heard from so many directions of so-called Christians, stop voting. All those are political actions and there are many more. So what do you actually mean about the time for Christians in politics is over?
I have a burden for my family. My 3 adult children who are no longer in fellowship and I don’t know where they stand in the Lord. I pray for them every day and I don’t want to see them lost. I have a burden for all who have fallen away actually.
My son was raised in church and a godly home. He began committing crimes at age 14. He got addicted to drugs. He was a teen parent. He hated God and made fun of me for my faith. Finally, in 2017, he was very paranoid and thought someone was out to harm his family. He and his wife, with the kids, came over at 3 am and kidnapped us at gunpoint. It was the darkest night of my life. We knew they intended to kill us because they needed our car to flee. He even said, at one point, “Look, Mom, my god is beating your God.” They finally let us stop at a hotel for the night to get some sleep. God spoke to me in that lobby and told me we were going to be rescued. I noticed an elevator but they were watching us, so we could t push the button. This hotel was in the middle of nowhere Kansas. Suddenly, the elevator opened and we were able to slip in. We got off in one of the floors, with nowhere to hide. It was about 5 am. Suddenly, a man came out of a room. We begged him to let us go in the room and call the police. He was wary, but eventually let us in. My son spent five years in prison. Now, in 2024, Jesus has changed his whole life. His old demonic eyes have light, he has a new heart and God has opened his ears to hear. He’s been sober for 7 years and married to a wonderful woman. Please don’t give up! Satan is working to destroy families. Jesus is the mighty God and conquerer. We went through years and years of hell. So much spiritual warfare in our home. So many scars. When the healing came, it was like waking up to the most beautiful, peaceful valley. “My son was dead! Now he is alive!” I will put you on my daily prayer list. Once you’re on it, you’re there for life. Blessings🌺
Your 3 adult children have become wise. You should be proud.
@@michellecox6251thank you.
I have lost 2 sons. One in infancy & one, who was raped @ gunpoint when he was 10 hung himself when he was 25.
Romans 8:26-39 has become very real & comforting.
God is Sovereign over All. I trust Christ & His Word now, rather than my feelings, which can knock us off course for a bit ❤✝️
That's wonderful! Looking forward to hearing from you!
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE MINISTRY!!
Blessings in Christ from Europe, Austria, Vienna.
Thank you! May the Lord bless you too!
NANCY DEVOSS could be one of the women speakers. It will be great if she accepts it.
Absolutely Love Ken Ham!! Answers in Genesis is one of the most important ministries on Earth!
I'll stick with 98% of the scientists, not you new Earth nuts.
@@MarkLewis-dz8pp the more you study science the more you realize it takes way more faith to believe in atheistic evolution than creation.
Really? You like the guy who was arrested for beating his wife?
@@JA-zh5xiYou have it backwards. Theists are the ones who need faith and believe in things like invisible magic friends.
Atheists simply present facts and don't believe in fairy tales.
@@MarkLewis-dz8pp Ok. Thanks for letting all of us know. We were waiting for you to check in on this! 🙄
Thank you, Lord, for this Fellows Initiative. All glory, praise and honor are yours.
We're glad you're excited about this! We're looking forward to see how the Lord uses these men (and eventually women) as they come alongside Todd!
Meghan Basham would be an excellent candidate
We watch you a lot! Can’t wait to hear your news!
Want to improve the quality of this: lose the background piano playing the same melancholy chord in major and then minor over and over and over.
It’s cringe and tactics devils use to swoon people into an emotional response. They need to ditch this
Yep stopped listening don't like lots of syrup on my breakfast.😢

fox news is not trustworthy anymore, Todd. Love you. Thank you for preaching the good news.
Fox News is a propaganda network for Maga and Maga red hat Christians.
When was it trustworthy?
Waiting for this announcement has me feeling like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning.
Love hearing about this project; we will be praying
We greatly appreciate your prayers! Thank you!
Interesting! I’m here with You in PL! (and maybe share with some my friends :)).
Please do! Thank you!
Excited for this!

Years ago, when Ken Ham was not so famous my kids took a creation seminar at our little Christian school. One of my sons was enamored with this! In the beginning of talking over computer, my son got Ken on the phone and talked to him. Ken was so kind and patient, I was stunned! Bless him and Glory to God!!
Thank you Todd and everyone at Wretched! Your channel is fantastic and has the ability to get the Lords message across in a unique funny loving way! God bless you all xxx
Why does he need such a big studio though?
Thank you so much!
I just wanted to thank you. I’m a Christian American contractor working in TelAviv Israel. I only get to go home one month a year. I don’t have a local church here that I’m comfortable with. It’s surprising that here in God’s chosen land it’s hard to find a Christian church. I struggle with not having fellowship. I read my Bible daily and watch shows like yours. It would be nice if it were possible to have some type of fellowship group for people like me that are overseas and don’t have true fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you for everything you do. God bless you.
I would say keep your eyes out because there are some out there. They have some ministries like what you described for the military. I am just not certain of what ones exist in that particular area. I will be praying you find one though.
Jeff.. you.. are the church in Tel Aviv! Stop looking for it.. be it!
@@okgo5152 I understand that fully. However I’m just saying it is hard if you don’t have true Christian fellowship with fellow believers in Jesus. Not to mention I don’t have all the answers. And there is nothing better than having someone to talk through scriptural questions that’s all. But yes I do spread the gospel every chance I get. Which if you have never been to Israel that gets pretty intense sometimes. Not to mention the war. But thanks for the boost. God bless you
@@williamcarmack4706 thank you
Jeff ..... we will be praying for solid fellowship and a solid amazing church !!!
He lives in you ~. and He will use you !
I love this! My husband and I will gladly support this prayerfully and financially! May God richly bless you all!
Fantastic! Thank you so much! We can't thank you both enough!
I hope all is well. Much love from the deep south.
You lost me at "sans all the politics". Doing everything God says to do minus politics is disobedience. The Great Commission says to follow ALL of Christ's commands, including politics, not to "just preach the gospel" as so many say.
Addressing literally everything else but politics is actually neglecting the very thing that the church has failed in. Christ's kingdom sovereignty extends to all the kingdoms of this world, and God's people ought to know how and when to submit to, influence--and even exercise--that authority.
WOW!! Love Wretched!
This is great.
I heard long ago J Vernon McGee explain what he did with Through the Bible before he died using David and Solomon as an example where David built up a kingdom and Solomon destroyed his legacy with idolatry and pagan worship being brought into Israel. J Vernon set it up such that only his sermons would be broadcast.
I think it Charles Stanley had been more careful and thought about his own legacy rather than just seeing his son is set up perhaps his legacy would not have been so blemished
I have been watching your UA-cam videos since the early 2000s and since you had Actual Black Natural Hair and it was all spiked up and did at least a Wednesday (If memory serves) Street Ministry. I have learned so much from you and can't begin to thank you enough. I bought some books real cheap and subscribed to your show for a couple of years. You are GREAT and I love your translations as you preach sometimes. May God continue to bless you.
Thank you so much! You can still catch Todd doing "Witness Wednesdays" on Wretched Radio every Wednesday.
I wanted to listen to Todd but found the background music just too intrusive and distracting. Is it really necessary? Can’t we just listen to his voice? I think it’s good enough by itself!
God bless you, Todd and crew! Thank you for your faithfulness to God’s Word!
Thank you for the encouragement!
Will this 8 fellows content be a new channel on UA-cam, an internet page, or a subscription service?

Wonder what this is going to be about.

I would love to watch but spending years in churches that would use music for manipulation during alter calls, I just can't listen due to the constant music in the background.
Love it! Absolutely will be praying for you and this to take off! So exciting and what an excellent group of fellows!
Thank you so much! We greatly appreciate your prayers!
I'm waiting for ya Todd.
Please don’t leave out political commentary! We need people who have a strong, biblical, Christian worldview to be giving political/social commentary. Politics is inside the sphere of Christian life.
Melonie Mac or Gothix
Can't confirm that those are their real names, but I can easily see them hosting GPM's version of The Comments Section.
Let me suggest a vocabulary lesson for the Church as well. Some of these bigger words folks have no clue what means. No it shouldnt be dumbed down to understand, yet taught.
Absolute excellent idea!!!
Please . . . don't assume we know what dispensationalism is, or Armenianism vs narcissism, even the difference between justified or in the process of being justified . . . etc. amillennial, postmillennial, premillennial vs. pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib. PLEASE get the idea & help us!!!
Using big, scholarly words don't inherently mean someone understands the Bible. The ppl who love using those words usually just want to impress ppl by making themselves appear smarter or more knowledgeable about scripture than they really are, and they just end up confusing themselves or someone else in the process. I typically take the apostle Paul's approach and speak in very plain terms that everyone can understand.
Once this gets going, I would love to see all of you guys together occasionally to do round table discussions on larger topics facing the church, like the DW guys do for their Backstage show.
Talk about the ban on New Testament
? What is this topic?
@@JaQba91the government is passing a law that makes it "anti" small hat folks to say what 1 Thessalonians 2 says about them ("they killed Jesus and are enemies of mankind")
I see no reason to ban the new testament. There's other Greek mythology no one is complaining about.
I was really beginning to worry about what was going to be left once God chose to take Dr. MacArthur home. Through prayer and His beautiful timing God has shown me what’s next and it’s a beautiful, wonderful, needful thing. Dr. Lawson, Ligonier Ministries and Gospel Partners. There is hope. I will start immediately supporting this at least in prayer. God richly bless you.
@JesusFollower1960 thank Jesus for that. Enjoy him while we got him. Been tuning in to him since 1996. I’ve never heard a mediocre message.
@@sydney.g.sloangammagee8181 agreed. The Master’s Seminary as well. So thankful for the free resources for our growth.
There are many good Christian ministries. Just to name a few… check out Alpha and Omega Ministries with Dr. James White, Apologia Church (home of End Abortion Now) with Jeff Durbin and others, and Christ Church/Canon Press/New St Andrews College with Douglas Wilson and others.
@@JustinHonaker I’ve tried more than once to take an interest in all three of those. I like White and Wilson but they just don’t hold my attention. White is boring and Wilson is the opposite. I have to be really focused to track with him. I find that exhausting. Both extremely intelligent though. I enjoyed a few of White’s debates with the Hebrew Israelites. Durbin does awesome work for the Lord. Thanks for the reply.
Looking forward to listening to your new venture here. But why do you have the irritating background music!?!? Especially when Todd is speaking, just 2 tones repeating constantly. I sometimes listen to instrumental hymns while reading a book, which I find helpful, but not just noise.
Praying for your success in this important retooling to strengthen Christian men....HOWEVER- why use that annoying "wire" show as your model? Was there nothing else that resonated?
SEEMS THAT ALOT OF THESE COMMENTS ARE FROM A LACK OF TRUE BIBLICAL KNOWLEDGE AND ARE NOT TRUE BELIEVERS FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. IF YOUR NOT FOR WHAT THIS VIDEO IS APART OF, WITHOUT YOUR ANTI CHRISTIAN COMMENTS, TURN AWAY. OTHERWISE YOUR SHOWING YOUR TRUE HEART THAT YOUR JUDGING IS NOT WANTED OF GOD LET ALONE ANY TRUE BELIEVERS. I PRAY FOR YOUR REPENTANCE AND SALVATION.
I pray you do some stuff without music i dont watch things with music or emotional manipulation in them, its funny you talk about not being like the World but the World is obsessed with music music music and wierd editing.
Gods word is powerful it does not need man thinking he can add to it, i just want Gods word, instruction and biblical sound guidance with out drama and music. 🙏✝️
I've always wanted a countdown to a counting down to a countdown.😅
I am very excited for this to begin
Thank you so much!
So excited for this! Praying 🙏

I’m excited about this new ministry!
Thank you so much!
Take no offense but how do you know when a ministry is successful? It grows, it does well financially?
Let us take a look at Joel Osteen's church. It has grown, and has generated great financial wealth.
Is God blessing Joel's church?
He and his followers would say yes.
Nice to see Phil Johnson on the show. He's always been one of my favorite bible teachers. His series on the book of Galatians is one of my favorites and I play it often on CD when travelling in my car.
His presentation on the show is excellent. Amen to every word.
A church's success doesn't inherently mean God is blessing it. The apostate Christian movement in the 1st century grew in massive numbers and eventually became what is widely accepted today as Christianity. A church's material wealth doesn't inherently mean God is blessing it either. Christ says the Laodiceans are physically wealthy, but they are spiritually poor(Rev. 3:17). If a church doesn't have God's laws and His government, it is not being led by Him.
Not to be that guy, but the channel name is just too long and a mouthful lol
For the record Fox News is off my list of information sources
We appreciate and pray for our brothers in ministry. Thank you for spending time learning the deep things of the Lord and explaining them to those of us who love to learn.❤😊

There are not millions in America standing firm on God’s word, it’s much less than 1 thinks
The church was established with the Roman unified church back in 325AD under Constantine and bastardized with Pagan worship. The reformation did little to correct that error as it is apparent many "churches" still participate in Pagan worship and false doctrines. The ekklesia needs to unlearn the Roman ways and get back to the following of Yahusha Ha'Mashiah. Yahusha and our father Yahuah established the way they wanted to be worshipped and their laws and preferences. I'm not saying we have to follow any of the Jewish laws but we do need to learn the ways, teachings, and identity of Elohim and His son Yahusha. To just say "we are under a new covenant now" or "He knows my heart" is to push aside Hebrews 13:8 that tells us He is unchanging and the things He said He hated pre-Yahusha are still things He hates today. We are bound by His moral law and not necessarily by the Jewish Ceremonial and civil laws but it may be good use discernment in many cases because Yahuah loves His people and many rules were for their protection, not just for the sake of control.

Sounds Baptist to me. Actually Messianic Judaism is nearly identical to the Baptists. But Messianic Judaism puts more focus on the essential Jewishness of Christianity. Often at the expense of forgetting that Gentiles were very much establishing churches in the Apostles time. The “Church” you’re referring to was not the “first Church” there were already Churches in Rome and elsewhere in the Gentile nations that were flourishing for centuries. The Roman Catholic Church began with a government decree, by pagans infatuated with the idea of Christianity, but not saved themselves. So they baptized a bunch of pagan unbelievers after making “Christianity” the state religion. And it devolved rather quickly into a pagan hybrid. And they would murder Christians who wouldn’t convert or wanted to leave their cult. The first mass exodus was by the Orthodox Church. Which left behind some of the paganism, but kept much of it still. They were in the Byzantine Empire. Which was a place of refuge for Christians fleeing Romes grip. The second mass exodus was the reformation which began as an attempt to reform the Roman religion back to Bubkical Christianity. The Roman cult decided to murder instead of reform. So, Christians gave up on reforming the Catholic institution from within and instead left. From that a few of the movements kept some of the Roman traditions but came much closer to Biblical Christianity putting the Bible above all and becoming Christ centered vs Mary and idol centered like the Romans. The Baptists left all of the remnants of Catholicism behind and followed a more Puritan model. They are gentiles by blood but all are Jews spiritually. We might not agree with our Presbyterian or Lutheran brothers in all of their practices but we give grace to things outside of the fundamentals. And we recognize them as being within the body of Christ unlike Catholics and Orthodox. Other groups have come after that are heretical due to wolves in sheep’s clothing and are considered not of us although they came from within us. And we want against them and consider them to be a mission field. Satan works tirelessly to imitate the church and lead the flock astray. But our God is a mighty God and will call those to Him who will come. As He knows the future and the past it’s all in His hands. It’s our commission to share the Gospel so that none are without blame.
@brianrich7828 Thanks for your response. I still have issue with the tradition of Christmas and Easter and ignoring the Jewish feasts thar Yahusha himself celebrated. The Romans knew better than try and meld with the Jews because that didn't work out well going against the Macabees in circa 167BC.
🙏🏻< ~~~
Deuteronomy 12:29-32
@@brianrich7828 Thank you, and Amen! 🙏 Telling people this is a never-ending part of the mission field. Even moreso, I think, with foriegners coming to the US from places like UK, Italy, or parts of Africa, whose nation is "constitutionally Christian," and don't understand why we put emphasis on distinction of the denominations because they are raised to believe everything that claims to be "Christian" is, in fact, Christian. It is not. The Constantinian and Alexandrite institutional church systems are, and have always been from what I can tell, pagan heretic church bodies.
@@tribfish A lot of Baptists do as well. Also we have a problem with images of “Jesus” since we all know that that picture is not based off of Jesus at all. There are no legit portraits of Him, so to have one is idolatry. On Holidays: Although others aren’t so worried about the day so much as the substance, as they celebrate the birth of Christ on that day (Christmas) despite it not being the right day (since we don’t know when that day was it’s not a big deal). So I see no problem there. We don’t teach the Santa Story either. For Easter, we teach and celebrate the resurrection on that day. However, some of our family happens to be Catholic like grandparents, so they celebrate Easter with the bunny and Christmas with Santa and on both of those they also add Jesus as well. So growing up we had all of that. Another mixing paganism with Christianity I’d say. So me and me Wife and Daughter will not be doing that. Peter and Paul got into a debate over gentiles and Jewish believers in the start of the Church as well. He ironed it out well. There will always be a distinction between the two cultures, but I have no problem with any Christian learning more about the feast days. But I wouldn’t push them to follow any of them following what was gathered from Paul correcting Peter. Your typical daily Baptist will likely know about the Jewish holidays and feast days as we dig deep into the scripture. We’re kind of known for that, and have gotten labeled for it by the Protestant groups. Even some of our forebears were called Puritans for being Bible only. People saw us as having no fun for not participating in pagan holidays. At least not as they were if there was any involvement at all. Baptists are non denominational by nature. Although some Baptists have associations with eachother for mission work. Alas, no church is perfect. As man is imperfect. So although some of our brethren of the denominations still have some chaff to burn, their adherence to the fundamentals is what makes it to where we can worship together still. And trust and believe we debate what we see as flaws within our respective branches haha. Good times.
Francis A Schaeffer wrote and spoke about our current Postmodern Post-Christian day for decades. The rise of Post-Kantian ideology particularly Hegel's Dialectical Methodology in theological pursuit beginning in the early 1800's. Few people stood against the Liberal Establishment of the day better than Adolf Schlatter 1852-1938. Schlatter's Systematic Theology begins with Anthropology albeit with an Anthropic bias in that God had made us in a particular way. God creates the revelation of Himself, and the recipient of that revelation in such a way that love and truth are possibilities for us. We only know God because of what God has done for us to see. People don't know how to think about things.
If you guys would like a 41 year old dad of 2 on staff, I'll step up! I love you guys and would love to do ministerial work. I have an extensive background in carpentry/contracting. Been self employed since 2003.
You should bring Rick Thomas back and teach folks how to grow in sanctification. Drive By Marriage is the best thing you ever produced.
You looked constipated on that original picture. Why not try some fiber in your diet. Maybe some Metamucil. It might help you.
you know what, if you guys want to make a change, then tell your Church members to come to Church with everyday clothes that they wear when they go shopping, bring a bag of clothes or cans of food they could spare, now this would be on a Sunday morning service day! then go to a neighbor that you are afraid of, and Preach the Word of God! and feed the homeless hungry ! don't just point the finger! do what Jesus said to do! make disciples of them, and baptize in the name of Jesus! stop your murmuring! and stop your complaining! put your Faith into Work for the Kingdom! show them your Faith in Work for the Kingdom of God! be not afraid! trust in God! all the pharisees did was stand in the back pointing fingers at Jesus and His disciples, and complain! get your hands dirty! work in God's fields, planting the seed! making the harvest ready For The Lord! lets remember who we were before Jesus came into our hearts! sinners! Jesus Saves!
The new initiative sounds sounds interesting and ambitious. May God find it honoring to Him so that it might thrive.
But...Suggestion: please... teach your pianist more than 3 chords. The background "music" is extremely irritating and detracting.
This is such a great initiative! As a missionary in Vanuatu, internet is really expensive, so watching podcasts and downloading resources is a struggle..🙏🙏 praying for this to go as God leads and we are able to these resources out to missionaries like myself in all the different places in the world 🙏🙏🙏
