  • #26 - Distant Judge or Loving Father?
    Jan 30 2026

    What if your understanding of God the Father is wrong? Have Christians unintentionally reduced the Trinity to “Father God” plus “Jesus” and “The Holy Spirit”? Is the Father really a distant judge, or have we missed who He truly is? What if the Father’s desire is to walk with you and love you the way He did with Adam in the garden? If you long to understand Father God more deeply, then this episode is for you.

  • #25 - Our Father Who Art In Heaven
    Jan 24 2026

    What is God’s name? Should I pray to Jesus, The Holy Spirit, or The Father? Why does Jesus teach us to pray to Father God? Does God really care which member of the Trinity I pray to? Do the others feel left out? Can I really approach Father God like he is my father in Heaven or is Jesus the only one who gets that relationship with Him? If you ever had questions about The Father then this episode is for you.

  • #24 - Why does God allow suffering?
    Dec 20 2025

    Why does God allow suffering? Why do innocent people suffer? If God is all powerful and can stop it, why doesn’t He? Why does God allow Satan to test Job and then never tell Job why? Why does God allow Joseph to suffer for so many years? How can we be sure that some suffering has redemptive purpose? If you ever questioned how God can be good and allow all this suffering, then this episode is for you.
