Episode 1: Do we expect government to do something it was never designed to do?

In this episode Rick unwraps how God’s desire is to communicate and have relationship with us, which has been His plan from Genesis to now.

Episode 2: If this present era is called “the dispensation of grace,” does that imply that people before this age experienced God differently? Was grace operating differently before the cross and resurrection?

Episode 1: When people use the word “grace,” are they always talking about the same thing? How does grace as God’s character differ from “the dispensation of grace” as a theological system?

Episode 3: Rick and Dan discuss why it’s dangerous to turn spiritual gifts into status symbols, measurements of spirituality, or proof of worth. And how the function of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers is to build up the body rather than control it.

Episode 2 : Dan talks about the significance of Jesus descending into death and then ascending “far above all heavens” and what that reveals about His authority and sufficiency.

Episode 1: Rick and Dan discuss that Paul did not present gifts as badges of spiritual achievement, but as expressions of Christ’s life flowing through people who are already accepted. We can move from pressure to participation.

For years, I had interpreted my struggles through the lens of failure, weakness, and inadequacy. But grace confronted those beliefs head-on. Lori joins Rick as he shares a personal story.
