We wanted to give others a chance to listen in on three friends who love Jesus talking about the word and truth. Each week we will release an entire conversation that is about an hour and a half. Every conversation will be three parts and be around thirty minutes each episode. Every Monday will be part 1, Wednesday part 2 and Friday part 3, and every week is a different conversation. We pray you find hope in every episode as we discuss different topics. These conversations may challenge you or encourage you. Always ask the Father about what you hear and let Him confirm His truth to you; never take what anyone says as truth without confirmation from Holy Spirit. We hope you are blessed by these podcasts!

    Struggling with Confidence Towards God? (Part 3 of 3)

    Email us: KingdomConversations25@gmail.com Why do so many struggle with having confidence towards a loving God?  Struggling with confidence towards a loving God often stems from projecting earthly experiences onto the divine, leading us to believe we must earn affection. When people face unanswered prayers or human suffering, it can feel incredibly difficult to reconcile pain with the concept of a completely loving Creator.  Projecting Human Flaws: People often project the actions of imperfect earthly figures (like strict or absent parents) onto God. This causes the misconception that His love is conditional or performance-based, rather than unconditional. The Problem of Suffering: Experiencing or witnessing trauma, loss, and tragedy makes it difficult to reconcile the idea of an all-powerful, loving Creator with the reality of pain and evil in the world. Shame and Guilt: A focus on personal shortcomings, past mistakes, or feelings of unworthiness can lead to self-condemnation. This often makes individuals feel they should hide from God rather than approach Him with confidence. Unanswered Prayers: When specific desires or prayers go unmet, it can breed doubt, leaving people feeling unheard or abandoned, which erodes trust over time. Desire for Control: Human nature gravitates toward relying on what we can see, manage, and understand ourselves. Surrendering control to an unseen God can feel unnatural and uncomfortable.

    Sin Is Caused By Lack (Part 3 of 3)

    Email us: KingdomConversations25@gmail.com Viewing "sin" as a symptom of lack is a powerful and historically recognized perspective. Philosophically, theologians like Simone Weil described sin as an attempt to "fly from emptiness". When we feel a sense of lack—whether it be a deficit of love, purpose, joy, or security—we often try to fill that void with destructive habits, greed, or selfishness. Looking at it this way, "sin" isn't just an act of malice; it’s an attempt to meet a legitimate human need in an unhealthy or unsustainable way. Support the show KingdomConversations25@gmail.com

    Ask Anything In My Name (Part 3 of 3)

    Email us: KingdomConversations25@gmail.com John 14:14 reads: "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it." (ESV) This verse is a profound promise regarding prayer, emphasizing that believers are invited to bring requests directly to Jesus, who acts with divine authority. Key commentaries and theological interpretations highlight these central principles: "In My Name" is Not a Magical Formula: Praying in Jesus' name is more than simply reciting the phrase at the end of a prayer. It means praying under His authority, acting as His representative, and presenting requests based on His merit and righteousness rather than our own. Alignment with God’s Will: The promise operates on the condition of aligning with Jesus' character and kingdom. Asking "in His name" inherently means asking for things that bring glory to the Father, which naturally shapes our requests to fit His will. Assurance and Comfort: The verse is part of Jesus’ Farewell Discourse to His disciples. By making this promise, Jesus comforts his followers, assuring them that his departure does not mean they are left powerless. Support the show KingdomConversations25@gmail.com
