    In Episode 20 of The Proceeding Word, Ps Brian Heath and Emily Braithwaite explore one of the most important teachings of Jesus: being born again.

    Reading from John chapter 3, they unpack Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus and explain why being religious is not the same as being spiritually reborn. This episode clearly outlines what happens when someone receives Christ, what it means to believe in His name, and why salvation is by grace through faith.

    Ps Brian explains the supernatural reality of the new birth, becoming a new creation, being made alive together with Christ, complete forgiveness through the cross, and adoption into the family of God. The episode also outlines clear evidence of genuine conversion, including repentance, passion for God, and a transformed life.

    If you have ever wondered what being born again truly means, this episode offers biblical clarity and a personal invitation to respond.

    In Episode 19 of The Proceeding Word, Ps Brian Heath and Emily Braithwaite return to the very heart of the Christian faith: the purpose of the cross.

    This episode explains why the cross is central to the gospel, what Jesus accomplished through His death, and how the cross brings redemption, forgiveness, reconciliation with God, and victory over sin and death. Ps Brian unpacks Scripture to show how Jesus became our substitute, initiated the New Covenant, and made a way for humanity to become sons and daughters of God.

    The episode also challenges listeners to move beyond intellectual understanding and respond personally to the message of the cross, concluding with a prayer of salvation and commitment to follow Jesus.

    In Episode 18 of The Proceeding Word, Ps Brian Heath and Emily Braithwaite explore one of the most important questions any person can ask: Who is Jesus really?

    This episode looks beyond opinions and cultural ideas and examines Jesus through Scripture, history, prophecy, and personal revelation. Ps Brian unpacks Jesus’ question to His disciples in Matthew 16 and explains why every person must decide for themselves who Jesus is.

    The conversation explores the difference between knowing about Jesus and knowing Him personally, the role of revelation from God, and the biblical foundation of the church. Ps Brian also discusses historical evidence for Jesus, Old Testament prophecies fulfilled in Christ, and the famous conclusion that Jesus was either a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord.

    Listeners are encouraged to seek truth for themselves, read Scripture, examine the evidence, and open their hearts to a personal relationship with Jesus. The episode concludes with a prayer inviting listeners to trust Jesus as Lord and Saviour.
