    Why doesn’t anyone ask the question of why is there no one preaching against double marriage? Isn’t it not biblical? Isn’t it not the word of God? And isn’t it not sin in the camp?

    Some incredible insights into the Word of God. Easily understood, yet enough meat on the bone for anyone to walk away having learned.

    I’ve really enjoyed listening to Bro Bernard discuss the many topics here on the podcast. No matter your affiliation, he discusses each topic with a clear understanding of the Word of God with clarity and wisdom. I highly suggest this podcast to any believer and Apostolic Pentecostal that wants a concise statement of what we believe. It also makes a great study tool and launch point for discussions with your family.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Does Deuteronomy 6:4 Support Oneness or the Trinity?
Q: Is there any validity to this interpretation of Deuteronomy 6:4?

Is It God or Just My Imagination?
Q: How do we know if something is from God or if it's just our imagination?
We need to rely on the Bible, guidance from spiritual leaders, and common sense to discern God's will rather than seeking signs.

The doctrine of the oneness of God is often mischaracterized, leading critics to say we deny the Father, when in fact, we believe in one God fully revealed in Jesus.
