    Answering YOUR Big Questions About the Baptism in the Holy Spirit

    The baptism in the Holy Spirit has been one of the most debated, misunderstood, and life-changing experiences in the Church for generations. In this episode of Creating the Future, Dr. Brent Simpson and Pastor Ada Simpson sit down for an honest, biblical, and practical conversation about the baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, spiritual empowerment, and how the Holy Spirit transforms everyday believers. This isn’t a conversation about hype, emotionalism, or weirdness. It’s about power, intimacy with God, and living the Christian life the way it was always intended to be lived. Together, they discuss: • What the baptism in the Holy Spirit actually is — and how it differs from salvation • Whether this experience is for every believer or only certain Christians • What the Bible really says about speaking in tongues • Why so many believers feel spiritually exhausted and powerless • What to do if you’ve prayed to receive but nothing seemed to happen • How people actually receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit • How to navigate this topic when family members or spouses disagree • Why spiritual fire sometimes fades — and how to reignite it This episode is filled with biblical teaching, personal stories, pastoral wisdom, and encouragement for anyone hungry for more of God. Whether you come from a Pentecostal background, a skeptical background, or no church background at all, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to pursue a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit. ✨ Connect with Dr. Brent: 💬 All Social Media: @DrBrentSimpson 🌐 BrentSimpson.com 💬 MyAriseChurch.com 🎙️Check out my last message: https://www.youtube.com/live/Me5kZgmz-0s?si=t4mcfz-06kMlpin5

    Do These Bible Verses Really Silence Women? Understanding 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Corinthians 14

    In Part 3 of this powerful 3-part series on women in ministry, Dr. Brent Simpson and Pastor Pete Kramer, Teaching Pastor at Arise Church, tackle the two passages most commonly used to prohibit women from speaking, teaching, or leading within the Church. For many Christians, these verses have shaped the entire conversation surrounding women in ministry. But are these passages being interpreted correctly? What was happening culturally and contextually when Paul wrote them? And how should modern believers approach difficult and debated Scriptures with both conviction and humility? In this episode, Dr. Brent and Pastor Pete carefully examine the historical context, theological interpretations, and broader biblical framework surrounding these controversial passages. Rather than avoiding the difficult texts, they walk directly into them, discussing both sides of the debate while challenging listeners to study Scripture deeply and thoughtfully. This conversation is honest, nuanced, and rooted in a desire to faithfully understand the heart of Scripture while remaining committed to biblical authority.  In this episode: • The two passages most commonly used against women in ministry • “Women should remain silent in the churches” explained • Understanding 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Corinthians 14 • Historical and cultural context behind Paul’s words • Different interpretations Christians hold today • The importance of interpreting difficult passages carefully • How Scripture, theology, and church practice intersect • Why this conversation still matters in today’s Church ✨ Connect with Dr. Brent: 💬 All Social Media: @DrBrentSimpson 🌐 BrentSimpson.com 💬 MyAriseChurch.com

    The real reason you feel so overwhelmed and why it’s destroying America

    Welcome to Creating the Future with Dr. Brent Simpson, where we dive into stories, truths, and deep questions that help shape our faith, our families, and our future. What’s Really Going On? You’re not crazy. You’re not weak. And you’re definitely not alone. We are living in the most informed generation in human history…—and somehow also the most anxious, overwhelmed, and divided. In this episode, Dr. Brent breaks down what’s actually happening beneath the surface. Why does it feel like everything is getting worse… even when the data says it’s not? Why does your mind feel constantly overloaded? And what is the real cost of living in a world where you’re exposed to everything, all the time? This conversation will challenge the way you see your phone, your news feed, and even your own thoughts. What We Cover in This Episode: • The shocking rise in anxiety—and what changed around 2012 • Why your brain is overwhelmed (and it’s not your fault) • How social media and constant information are rewiring your thinking • The “negativity instinct” and why bad news sticks • Why the world is actually getting better—but feels worse • How misinformation is eroding trust and dividing society • What Socrates warned about—and why it matters today • The dangerous connection between information overload and anxiety • A biblical perspective on truth, clarity, and peace in a noisy world A Different Way to Live In a world drowning in noise, clarity is a choice. This episode isn’t about ignoring reality—it’s about learning how to see clearly again. To filter wisely. To think deeply. And to anchor your life in something stronger than headlines and algorithms. Because peace isn’t found in knowing everything… It’s found in knowing what actually matters. Key Takeaway You are not overwhelmed because you’re incapable. You’re overwhelmed because you’re carrying more than you were designed to carry. Share This Episode If this episode helped you, share it with someone who feels overwhelmed right now. It might be exactly what they need to hear.

    Why Do History’s Greatest Thinkers Get Silenced?

    In this episode of Creating the Future with Dr. Brent Simpson, where we dive into stories, truths, and deep questions that help shape our faith, our families, and our future… In 399 BC, a man was sentenced to death in Athens. No army. No violence. His only crime—he asked too many questions. So why does society feel threatened by someone whose only weapon is an idea? In this episode, we look at a pattern that shows up across history. From Socrates to Galileo, from Nelson Mandela to Martin Luther, there’s something consistent—when ideas begin to challenge the foundation of what people believe, systems of power respond. Because every system is built on shared beliefs, and when those beliefs are questioned, everything starts to feel unstable. We talk about why thinkers are often silenced, how asking the right question at the right time can shift the way people see the world, and why that can feel dangerous to those in control. This is where philosophy, culture, and faith all intersect. Even Jesus led this way—asking questions that exposed hearts and opened minds. My hope is this challenges you to think differently about the power of questions. Because the right question doesn’t just inform—it unlocks. And sometimes, the most disruptive thing you can do is simply ask what others are afraid to. ✨ Connect with Dr. Brent: 💬 All Social Media: @DrBrentSimpson 🌐 BrentSimpson.com 💬 MyAriseChurch.com 🎙️You can listen to the podcast here: https://creatingthefuture.podbean.com/

    Did Socrates Predict America’s Future?

    In this episode of Creating the Future with Dr. Brent Simpson, where we dive into stories, truths, and deep questions that help shape our faith, our families, and our future…What if the challenges we’re facing today aren’t new at all? What if they were identified over 2,000 years ago by a man who paid for his ideas with his life? In this episode, I kick off a new philosophy series by looking at Socrates—who he was and why his critique of democracy still matters. He questioned a system where every voice carries equal weight, regardless of wisdom, and warned that it could lead to decisions driven more by emotion than truth. We explore the danger of the crowd, why persuasion often wins over wisdom, and how societies don’t collapse overnight—they drift when truth is replaced by what people want to hear. My hope is this leaves you thinking differently—asking better questions about truth, leadership, and the future we’re building. ✨ Connect with Dr. Brent: 💬 All Social Media: @DrBrentSimpson 🌐 BrentSimpson.com 💬 MyAriseChurch.com 🎙️You can listen to the podcast here: https://creatingthefuture.podbean.com/

    They Can Be Wrong Without Being Racist: Why We Should Stop Labeling Everyone We Disagree With

    In this episode of Creating the Future with Dr. Brent Simpson, where we dive into stories, truths, and deep questions that help shape our faith, our families, and our future, I sit down with Pastor Vago Lightbourne from The Truth Center Church in Brandon, Florida for a timely and honest conversation. We’re tackling a cultural issue that has become increasingly common—and increasingly confusing: the overuse of the word “racism.” Somewhere along the way, disagreement started getting labeled as hatred. But is that accurate? And more importantly, is it helpful?In this conversation, we unpack the difference between being wrong and being racist, why labeling people too quickly shuts down meaningful dialogue, and how we as Christians can lead the way in truth, grace, and discernment. This isn’t about ignoring real racism—it exists, and it matters. But it is about having the wisdom to recognize that not every disagreement is rooted in a sinful heart. We also explore how to have difficult conversations without demonizing people, how to examine our own hearts honestly, and how to reflect Christ in a culture that often jumps to conclusions. This episode will challenge you to think deeper, speak wiser, and lead better conversations in your world. ✨ Connect with Vago Lightbourne: 💬 All Social Media: @VagoLight 🌐 https://www.mytcc.us ✨ Connect with Dr. Brent: 💬 All Social Media: @DrBrentSimpson 🌐 BrentSimpson.com 💬 MyAriseChurch.com 🎙️You can listen to the podcast here: https://creatingthefuture.podbean.com/
