This podcast episode delves into the concept of the "shoes of peace," as articulated in Ephesians 6:15, emphasizing their significance in the context of spiritual warfare. We examine how these shoes represent the readiness afforded by the Gospel of peace, enabling individuals to stand firm against anxiety, fear, and chaos, which are often perpetuated by the adversary. Throughout our discourse, we reflect on the transformative power of peace in our lives, highlighting that true peace is rooted in our relationship with God and manifests in our interactions with others. By fostering an understanding of our foundational peace with God, we explore how this assurance empowers us to navigate the complexities of life with confidence and grace. Thus, we invite listeners to consider where they most need to stand in peace and how they might extend that peace to others in their communities.

Takeaways:

This episode is part 17 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.

This episode covers Mosiah 15:1-9 and its clear teaching of modalism. These verses sound like something a Oneness Pentecostal might say.

This episode explains the Trinity and how Oneness Pentecostalism differs with clips from Dr. David K. Bernard of the UPCI.

Then, we compare what Oneness theology says with what Mosiah 15:1-9 claims about Jesus. Also, the Joseph Smith Translation changes Luke 10:22 to make Jesus say that the Father and the Son are the same person. (Note: I mistakenly said Matthew 11:27 in the audio, which is the parallel gospel account.)

It seems undeniable that Joseph Smith was dabbling in modalism while writing the Book of Mormon.

In this episode, we dive into 4 biblical questions to identify false teachers, grounded in the doctrine of Sola Scriptura. Learn how to evaluate teachers by asking: Do they submit to Scripture’s authority? Do they believe Scripture is sufficient? And do they proclaim the true Gospel and contend for the faith? Drawing from key Bible passages like 2 Timothy 3:16, Ephesians 4:14, and 1 Corinthians 2:2, this guide equips you to guard your faith against false teachings that draw our attention away from Christ. This video offers practical, Scripture-based ways to discern teachers so that you can avoid those who teach contrary to God's word.

May this episode expose the false teaching entering the church and bring glory to God.

The salient point of our discussion centers on the intricate relationship between free will, divine purpose, and the nature of prayer. We delve into the profound implications of understanding that while God invites us to engage with Him, it is crucial to recognize the distinction between merely asking for our desires and seeking alignment with His will. Throughout our dialogue, we explore the concept that God’s answers to our prayers—whether they manifest as "yes," "no," or "not yet"—serve a greater purpose in our spiritual growth and maturity. Additionally, we emphasize the necessity of cultivating an intimate relationship with God through prayer, Scripture, and community, highlighting that our journey of faith is one of continuous learning and discovery. Ultimately, we encourage listeners to embrace the complexity of their spiritual journeys, acknowledging that both questions and uncertainties are integral to deepening their understanding of God and His plans for their lives.

• This episode emphasizes the importance of understanding that our discussions are not necessarily reflective of absolute beliefs, but rather explorations of thoughts that arise in the moment.
