Who is the "REAL ISRAEL" (Part 2)
Welcome to the Part 2 journey where we  explore a controversial yet crucial subject:
Who is the "true Israel"?
For centuries, the idea of Israel being the chosen people has been deeply ingrained in religious narratives, particularly within Christianity. 
But what if we challenge this belief?
 What if we dare to explore the concept that every nation is equally valued in the eyes of a loving  GOD? 
What if we look and see what the Bible actually says about  Israel? 
In this Part 2 episode, we'll unravel the layers of historical context, theological interpretations  of the Bible , and the implications of redefining the chosenness of Israel  in today’s American church culture. 
So get ready to challenge your beliefs, and embark on a journey of understanding what the Bible  actually says to us about who is the true Israel.

Often times in today’s American church, 
We have manufactured experiences that are very entertaining very charismatic. 
Thousands if not millions of dollars are spent on producing more and more  entertaining,  stimulating and engaging Sunday "event" type productions.
The majority of "American churches" share one base concept, "how do we get bigger?" 
Often this is driven by the need to create increased financial donations for bigger budgets.
Join Pastor Van  Bradeen and  Vincent McGee as they  go back and investigate what the Bible actually says about church.
Is it a business?
Is it a social club ?
Or is it the actual body of Christ ?
The good news is, the Bible is very clear on what a "Chruch" is for!

What does the Bible say about who  true Israel is? 
You do not have to go far in  today’s, modern world to hear about the conflict involving Israel. 
There are many divided opinions especially in “religious circles” of who to stand with.
Some say to stand with Israel some to stand with Palestine, some don’t even know where to stand at all.
Join us today on our part one of a continuing  series  who is the real Isreal? (Part 1)
In this series we discuss who is true Israel, and  more importantly what the Bible is teaching us as  Christians about Israel, not only historically but also what Israel means for christians today.
Enjoy this in-depth conversation and find the truth of who the true

Why do Christians often seem more focused on holding others accountable rather than extending LOVE?" Join us as we navigate this complex topic with grace, understanding, and a desire to foster meaningful dialogue.
In many Christian communities, there's a strong emphasis on accountability, adherence to moral standards, and upholding traditional values. While these aspects are undoubtedly important, sometimes they can overshadow the fundamental principle of LOVE that lies at the heart of Christianity. We'll unpack why this might be the case, exploring historical contexts, theological perspectives, and societal influences.
Throughout the episode, we'll consider how the balance between accountability and LOVE can be struck in a way that reflects the teachings of Jesus Christ. Is there a way to hold others accountable without sacrificing compassion and empathy? How can Christians embody the love and grace that they believe God extends to all?
Join Pastor Van Bradeen and Vincent McGee as they engage in a compassionate and respectful conversation about faith, accountability, and the transformative power of LOVE. Whether you're a devout Christian, a spiritual seeker, or simply curious about these topics, this episode offers valuable insights and perspectives that can resonate with people of all backgrounds.
Tune in to Live Love Today and join us as we explore how we can live out our faith authentically while embracing a message of LOVE and gace in a world that often feels divided.



 


 

 









 
 


 

Does "HE" get us? 
In a world that often demands perfection, especially in religious enviroments,  it's easy to feel like we fall short. But what if there's a deeper truth that transcends our failures and flaws?
Does Jesus Get us, even if we are not perfect ?
On this episode we explore the profound concept of grace through the lens of faith, truth and what the Bible actully says. YES, Jesus get us! 
Despite our imperfections, we are deeply loved and accepted by Jesus. Drawing from the stories we see in the Bible, we uncover the transformative power of grace. Love and how it offers us a path to redemption, regardless of our past mistakes or shortcomings.
Join us as we embrace the liberating truth that Jesus's love knows no bounds and that we are cherished and loved just as we are, flaws and all.
This is Live Love Today. Enjoy!
