A Warm Invitation to Church

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Matthew 4:19 (And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.) “I do not care if you ever darken the doors of my church.” I would often say this to folks I am sharing the gospel with. My wife Jay did not like the tone of that statement and asked me to stop saying it. Tone aside, however, I mean it. I first said it to a person who accused me of evangelizing because I want more people to come to my church so offerings can increase. Our youth pastor lamented in a recent sermon, “We invite folks to a location rather than to the Person of Jesus Christ. That captures perfectly what I have felt all along.

Ravi Zacharias and Accountability for Ministry Leaders

Episode 34

When Ravi Zacharias died he left a devastating web of abused women, betrayed friends and family, and disappointed Christians in his wake. Posthumous investigations brought to the limelight his secret life of unrepentant sin, and for millions of professing Christians, hindsight became 20/20 as they tried to pick up the pieces. What did we miss? How should we respond? How can we be more vigilant moving forward?

Pastor Todd helps us tackle these questions and more on this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast.

Introduction to the Removing Barriers Podcast

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... With the civil unrest,  heightened political climate, changing American culture, and the inability to act ually go door-to-door witnessing due to COVID-19, my wife and I decided to start a podcast with the sole purpose of sharing the gospel by addressing the many obstacles preventing others from seeing the cross of Jesus clearly. In Acts 2, Peter preached to the Jews and presented to them Jesus Christ the Messiah. This was because the Jews already knew about God the creator, sin, and sin's consequences. The barrier that needed to be removed was whether Jesus was the Messiah. Contrast that with Acts 17, where Paul preached to the Athenians and defended the faith by proving that the unknown God they ignorantly worshiped was the creator of the world. Notice that while the message of the...

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 42 Series: How Were Your Barriers Removed - 8 Millions, if not billions of people around the world trust in various moral codes to enhance their lives and adequately prepare them for the life to come. The problem with that is, Jesus declared that there is no other means of life, truth, or salvation except through Him.  In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we talk to Anna about how Jesus Christ proved her religious upbringing and good moral code to be lacking in power for salvation, and how He removed those barriers to bring her to a saving knowledge of Himself.

Nika Holbert: A Soul for which Christ Died

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 35 In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we discussed the shooting incident involving Nika Holbert and officer Baker.  Rather than focusing on facts versus misinformation, or even on who was right or wrong based on those facts, we focused on the human beings involved. Human life is precious. So precious, in fact, that God sent His only begotten Son to die for us. In this episode we addressed the calloused comments made about Nika, the dangers of looking at the facts and neglecting the human being behind the facts, the cultural aspects that may lead to people like Nika, what things can be done to reach folks like Nika, and what she should represent to Bible believing Christians.
