The Bible After-Hours Anazao Ministries Podcast

The Church above pretends to wither be uninterested in politics or like only one side is an option for Christians. It acts as though political outcomes are more important than the process to get there. They prioritize wealth and influence over caring for the needy and foreigners in our lands.
.
This is the Underground Church, and we believe the Bible has an outline for the politically homeless. The Bible shows how God admonishes the leaders who care for the poor and needs, are honorable and have humility, over those who bring great wealth or power to the nation. How should the Church engage in politics? What should you do if you feel politically homeless? Are churches allowed to be political? Is the Catholic Church political? How do we honor our leaders and still engage honestly in our political setting? DO we prioritize wealth and influence or immigrants and the needy?
.
In this episode, we will:
Learn how Samuel was politically homelessSee how God's people engaged with politics in the BibleDiscuss what priorities we should bring into our politicsExamine whether human leadership is a good thing at all

The Church above has attempted to hide its own sin and acts like it doesn't do anything wrong. Many people have been harmed by actions the Church has tried to hide away. Many have lost trust in the Church because of how it has tried to hide its own sin or divert attention away from its own wrong-doing.
.
This is the Underground Church and we believe a better testimony would be an honest one where the church exposes the sin within its own community before calling out what's wrong in secular communities. What is transparency in the church? Should churches be transparent with finances? What is the purpose of accountability in the church? What does the Bible say about accountability? Are we supposed to hold other Christians accountable?
.
In this episode, we will:
Explain the importance of calling out other believersExplore the issues for oneself to hold in your strugglesDeconstruct how we protect the testimony of our communitiesDiscuss how to nurture an authentic, loving community

The Church above has a toxic view of masculinity, masked in an understanding that it's not about physical attributes. The deemphasize physical strength to mask how they over-emphasize other toxic traits of leadership, control, and manipulation. This idea of men as controlling leaders is unbiblical. The Bible teaches how men can be weak, poor leaders' and, how women can be strong and excellent leaders. Strength is found in God and in humility, not in intellect, strength, or the ability to control others.
.
This is the underground Church and we believe that humility is strength. What is true biblical masculinity? What are the principles of godly manhood? What are the pillars of the Bible manhood? What is biblical strength? What strength does God give us? Was there any female leaders in the Bible? Who are the female rulers in the Bible? What does the Bible say about female leadership?
.
In this episode, we will:
Define Biblical StrengthExplore the qualities of a true leaderDeconstruct toxic masculinity in the ChurchEncourage women leaders to rise up in the Church

The Church above teaches that sin and guilt pass down from our parents; they teach that our sins will be passed down to our kids and that we are doomed to repeat our parents' sins. All of these teachings are blatantly wrong. The Bible struggles with the idea of how our mistakes are passed down, but traches that the consequences may impact others but the sin is our own.
.
This is the Underground Church and we believe that our sins have consequences and that no one has to carry the burden of the sin or expectations of their families. What is the Catholic definition of original sin? What is the original sin and the actual sin? What are examples of generational sins? What does the Bible say about generational sins? Can sins be passed down? What is the inherited sin in Christianity?
.
In this episode we will:
Examine Biblical examples of when family is found guilty of each other's sinsExplore what real consequences of sin areWrestle with the story of Japheth and the parallelism of his mother and daughter
