    How Personal Testimony Strengthens Christian Apologetics

    Join us for this truly "around the table" discussion.  We talk true repentance...and encounters that last a lifetime.   Some faith questions can be answered with study, but some can only be answered with a moment you can’t unlive. Around the table, we go straight into the tension between Christian apologetics and personal encounter, and why the “defense of the faith” feels hollow when it is separated from a real relationship with God. Brother Ernie walks us through Scripture and story, connecting Paul’s conviction in Romans 1 with the humility of verifying revelation years later, and reminding us that God isn’t threatened by your mind. We talk about Isaiah’s “let us reason together” and why repentance is more than tears. A changed life requires an honest conclusion, a decision to turn, and a commitment that doesn’t fade when emotions do. Then the conversation gets personal: deliverance from addiction, laying on of hands, speaking in tongues, and moments where the Bible later confirms what was experienced first. We connect Mark 16, Luke 15:10, and even details from the Old Testament to show how Scripture can anchor spiritual experiences without turning them into hype. Along the way, we share a practical challenge for prayer: stop treating God like Santa Claus, bring your needs, give thanks, then get quiet long enough to listen. We also name a hard truth: ministry is not the same thing as intimacy with Jesus. To make it plain, we use the picture of marriage and the honeymoon, where closeness grows over time into something steady, safe, and real. If you’re hungry for deeper faith, stronger Bible understanding, and a more personal walk with God, this one is for you. Subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review, then tell us what part challenged you most. (*Recorded on 7/20/2026) I would love your feedback and topic suggestions!

    The Gospel of St. John - Chapter 3, Part 2 - Bro. John "Ernie" Perez

    Bro. Ernie leads the class through a deep dive into what John is saying about being born again!  Get your Bible, your notebook and let's go! You can read John 3 a hundred times and still miss how practical Jesus is being with Nicodemus. We slow the conversation down and take Jesus at His word: “born again” is not presented as a slogan or a quick moment, but as a real birth process that starts with an experience and continues into growth, maturity, and eventually spiritual fruit. Around the table, we talk honestly about why people can respond to God, then struggle later, and how Christian discipleship keeps the seed of faith from shrinking back. Brother Ernie walks line by line through John 3:8-12 and highlights the wind analogy: you cannot see wind, but you can hear it and feel its impact. From there, we trace a powerful Bible study theme that shows up again and again, the presence of God revealed through sound. We connect Exodus 19, Psalm 29, Elijah’s still small voice, and other Old Testament patterns to what Jesus is teaching Nicodemus, then we follow the thread forward into John 7 and Acts 2. If you care about Bible doctrine, Holy Spirit baptism, water baptism, and how the early church understood speaking in tongues, this lesson gives you Scripture to stand on, not just opinions. We also clear up a common hang-up: the Holy Ghost is not something we earn or “get,” it is a gift we receive, just as Acts 2:38 says. The invitation is to open your Bible, “chase” the references, and seek a lived experience with God that matches the Word and keeps growing long after the first moment of belief. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with the biggest question you still have about John 3 and being born again.

    "A Simple Presentation into The Book of ACTS" - Chapter 13, Part 2 (b) - Bro. John "Ernie" Perez

    Join us around the table as we continue this journey into the Book of ACTS.  Bro. Ernie continue into Chapter 13 a little deeper.  Get ready! The resurrection isn’t a vague spiritual idea. It’s a claim with witnesses, prophecies, and consequences. We pick back up in Acts 13:31-41 and follow Paul’s logic as he preaches Jesus risen from the dead, seen by many, and proven through the Scriptures the first believers already knew by heart. We connect Psalm 2, Isaiah 55, and Psalm 16 to the promise that God would not allow His Holy One to see corruption, then we talk about why that matters for real life faith today. Along the way, we share simple Bible study habits that keep you grounded: use a reference Bible, follow cross references, compare passages, and verify anything you hear, even if you love the teacher. We also point you toward free tools like Blue Letter Bible and Bible Gateway if you are building a consistent Bible study routine. Then the message gets personal. Paul says forgiveness of sins is preached through Jesus, and justification comes in a way the law of Moses could not complete. We unpack what “belief” looks like when it’s more than mental assent, why repentance is a response to God’s goodness, and why Scripture warns us not to despise prophecy. If you want an Acts 13 Bible study that ties Old Testament prophecy to the gospel of Jesus Christ with clarity, this one will give you solid ground and new passages to chase. Subscribe, share this with someone who wants to understand the Bible better, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What verse do you want us to connect to Acts next?

    "A Simple Presentation into The Book of ACTS" - Chapter 13, Part 2 (a) - Bro. John "Ernie" Perez

    Bro. Ernie continues the journey into The Book of ACTS - get your Bible, your notebook and your highlighters ready!!! Belief is easy to say, but hard to live and Acts 13 forces the question: if faith never produces repentance, what did we actually believe? Around the table, we continue our simple discipleship Bible study through Acts 13 (part two), tracking Paul’s sermon in the synagogue at Pisidian Antioch and watching how he builds the gospel straight from Israel’s story. We walk from Saul to David and then to Jesus, showing why the Old Testament is not background noise but the foundation Paul uses to prove the Messiah. We talk about David as “a man after God’s own heart” and why his real strength is not perfection but honest repentance that refuses to ignore the ways sin grieves God. From there, we connect John the Baptist’s ministry to a practical call: repentance is not optional add-on material. It is the direction change that proves belief is real. We also wrestle with how people can hear the prophets read every Sabbath and still miss what God is saying when expectations get in the driver’s seat. That leads into a timely conversation about staying focused on Jesus’ promise to return, witnessing with urgency, and making room to truly listen to God instead of treating prayer like a shopping list. If you want an Acts Bible study that ties together prophecy, faith and works, justification, and the resurrection of Jesus with clear application, you’ll feel right at home here. Subscribe so you don’t miss the next part, share this with a friend who loves Bible study, and leave a review to help more people find Simple Discipleship.

    The Sure Mercies of David

    Join us around the table today as we go a little further into ACTS 13 with Bro. Ernie...unapologetically.   David’s name gets used as a shortcut for greatness, but Scripture refuses to airbrush his story. We start with Acts 13 and the line that stops a lot of readers cold: God promises “the sure mercies of David” and ties that promise directly to Jesus’ resurrection. So what are those mercies, and why would God build a covenant thread through a king who made so many mistakes? Around the table, we talk honestly about the church today: growth, hunger for the Word, and the need to read the New Testament epistles without disconnecting them from the Book of Acts. We also address something every Christian seems to face sooner or later: spiritual pushback. When conversations turn into debates and insults, we remind ourselves to keep the message simple and steady: Jesus Christ crucified, Jesus resurrected, Jesus as Savior. Conviction does not require cruelty. From there we jump into Deuteronomy 17 for a leadership gut check. God tells Israel what a king must not do: chase power, multiply wives, or worship silver and gold. We apply it to discipleship today, including Jesus’ “no looking back” call in Luke 9 and the practical reality that our inputs shape our holiness. The Word is not a relic on a shelf; it is meant to be read daily, carried into our decisions, and ultimately written on our hearts, just as Hebrews 8 describes in the new covenant.

    The Grandgirls Unleashed!

    About every 6 months or so we get the grand-girls together...Presley (10), Olivia (6) and Sophia (5) - this was recorded around America's 250th Celebration. Yes, the monkeys are let loose - be forewarned that they are not professionals and often get too close to the mic...but, this a moment etched in history.  Enjoy! Freedom is easy to celebrate until you slow down and ask a child what it actually means. Sister Diahanna sits down with the Gran-Girls, Sophia, Olivia, and Presley, plus Sister Audia, for our summer hangout that starts with pure Fourth of July joy: fireworks, family time, and the little moments that make summer break feel magical. Then the conversation turns deeper in a way only kids can do, simple words that hit hard. We talk about freedom of worship, the gift of being able to pray and go to church openly, and the sobering truth that many believers around the world face persecution for doing those same things. We also share why we support children through Compassion International and how faith should move us toward real compassion, not just talk. From there, we lighten it up with back-to-school excitement, making new friends, and the ultimate childhood goal: getting your own room. If you’ve ever navigated sibling drama, privacy, or teaching gratitude in a busy home, you’ll recognize the humor and the heart. We wrap with what the girls love most right now, a sweet nod to family and Mexican heritage (and the food), plus a quick Michael Jackson moment that brings the whole table to life. Subscribe for more faith-based family conversations, share this with a friend who’s raising kids, and leave a review with your favorite takeaway. What does freedom mean to you today?

    The Gospel of St. John - Chapter 3, Part 1 - Bro. John "Ernie" Perez

    Bro. Ernie continues this deep dive into The Gospel of St. John - hold on tight!  Get your Bibles, your notebooks and your highlighters ready! Jesus doesn’t tiptoe around the big questions, and neither do we. From the moment He steps into the temple at Passover to the late-night meeting with Nicodemus, the Gospel of John shows a Messiah who confronts false worship, reads the heart, and calls people to real transformation. We sit down with Brother Ernie to pick up our John Bible study in chapter 2 and move into John 3: the temple cleansing, the shocking line “Destroy this temple,” and why the disciples only understood it after the resurrection. Along the way, we talk about sanctification as an ongoing process, why the Spirit brings truth to remembrance only when we actually learn and apply the Word, and why worship is always for an audience of one. Then we slow down on the phrase that has sparked questions for centuries: “You must be born again.” We unpack what it means to see the kingdom of God as spiritual perception, not just information, and why Jesus connects the new birth to water and Spirit. We also tie John 3 to Acts 2:38, the parable of the sower and the seed, and the reality that spiritual growth is a process that should produce fruit. The closing story hits home: kindness can become the loudest testimony when people are watching for something real. Subscribe for more Bible teaching, share this with someone studying John 3, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway: what does “born again” mean to you today?

    "A Simple Presentation into The Book of ACTS" - Chapter 13, Part 1 - Bro. John "Ernie" Perez

    Bro. Ernie continues this journey deep into The Book of ACTS - hang on!  Get your Bible, your notebook and your highlighter...let's go!!!! God doesn’t always whisper. Sometimes He speaks with enough clarity that the only real question left is whether we’ll obey. We sit down as a table family again after a summer break, share travel stories, and talk about those “Jesus never goes on vacation” moments when prayer and ministry show up in the middle of normal life.  Then we open the Bible to Acts chapter 13 and watch a healthy church at Antioch do something rare: they worship, they fast, they pray, and they listen. When the Holy Spirit says to separate Barnabas and Saul for the work God has called them to, the church doesn’t debate it into the ground. They fast and pray again, lay hands on them, and send them out. We also slow down to talk about what it means to “minister to the Lord” when God has no needs, and why everyday kindness to people is a real way to honor Jesus.  We dig into hearing God’s voice through Scripture and the pattern we see from Sinai to Samuel, and we give a straight warning about fasting and prayer: it isn’t a way to manipulate God, it’s how we crucify the flesh so God can speak and work through us with clarity. From Cyprus to the showdown with Elymas, Acts 13 also shows spiritual warfare, bold leadership, and a surprising conversion when Sergius Paulus believes after seeing God’s power.  If you want a deeper Bible study on Acts 13, Christian discipleship, fasting and prayer, and the missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas, press play and read along with us.
