Central to the task of the mission of God is discipleship. Yet many Christians today have forsaken this command in direct disobedience to their Lord. In this episode, we consider 7 simple steps to taking over the world for Christ and how God has given us the tools and strategy to accomplish it. --------------- Listen at https://www.theotivity.com/podcast/ OR on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3JavDAk Google: https://bit.ly/3j8aNXO Apple: https://apple.co/36T9zxf ------- #Christianity #ChristianPodcast #Evangelicalism #SeekYeFirst #GodsKingdom #KingdomGrowth #GreatCommission #MissionOfGod #datPostMil #PostMil #Postmillennialism #Eschatology #ReformedTheology

In this episode, I sit down with my brother-in-law to discuss his recent theological changes on eschatology and we also talk about the book, "Live Not By Lies: A Manual For Christian Dissidents" by Rod Dreher and its importance for us today as many governments move towards more totalitarian control of their citizens and what we should learn from history.

n our last episode, we considered some of the terms related to woke ideology and secular social justice. In this episode, we explore how this ideology really is an Anti-Gospel that is antithetical to the Christian worldview. It poses a major threat to the faith, and Christians should be prepared to recognize and respond to it from a Biblical worldview. --------------- Listen to the full episode at https://www.theotivity.com/podcast/ OR on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3JavDAk Google: https://bit.ly/3j8aNXO Apple: https://apple.co/36T9zxf ------- #woke #wokeness #socialJustice #BiblicalJustice #TheologyMatters #BLM #CriticalTheory #Evangelicalism #WokeTheology #CulturalTheology #Christianity #ChristianityAndCulture #CRT #Intersectionality #WokePreachers

The issues of wokeness and social justice are hot-button topics that are often misunderstood today. Yet many Christians are unaware and uninformed about these issues. Worse yet, many teachers and pastors have introduced these dangerous ideologies into Evangelical churches today. We must be prepared to recognize and respond to these issues in a Biblical way. This first episode seeks to help point out some of the dangers the church is facing and familiarize Christians with some of the terminology like Cultural Marxism, Intersectionality and Critical Race Theory. --------------- Listen to the full episode at https://www.theotivity.com/podcast/ OR on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3JavDAk Google: https://bit.ly/3j8aNXO Apple: https://apple.co/36T9zxf ------- #woke #wokeness #socialJustice #BiblicalJustice #TheologyMatters #BLM #CriticalTheory #Evangelicalism #WokeTheology #CulturalTheology #Christianity #ChristianityAndCulture #CRT #Intersectionality #WokePreachers #ReformedTheology

Nazi Germany was a devastating example of the depths of human depravity. The Nazis led the world into the largest and deadliest conflict in history with total worldwide death estimates between at least 65 to 85 million people. They systematically exterminated over 11 million people including 6 million Jews. We tend to think that this could never happen today... But is that true? Is it happening again? There are some important lessons we must learn about Nazi Germany and the failure of the Germany churches at that time. Here are 8 lessons Christians must learn from Nazi Germany. --------------- Listen to the full episode at https://www.theotivity.com/podcast/ OR on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3JavDAk Google: https://bit.ly/3j8aNXO Apple: https://apple.co/36T9zxf ------- #nazi #hitler #naziGermany #thirdReich #confessingChurch #theologyMatters #CulturalApologetics #publicTheology #fascism #christiantheology #government #politicalTheology #LessonsFromHistory

John Piper is a name that has become widely known in Evangelicalism. His sermons, books, articles and resources have impacted the lives of countless Christians as he seeks to declare the glory of God in all of life. One of the biggest impacts on my life of his ministry has been to help me delight in God more and become what he has called a "Christian hedonist". His most famous phrase, "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him" rings true in my life and helped to transform the way I thought about an old stuffy religion to a vibrant and joyous, life-giving faith.

I'm thankful for the way God has used these men to deepen my understanding of His Word and zeal for His Kingdom. My hope is that by doing these illustrations, I can both honour these men and also perhaps highlight their ministries for others to also be blessed. Each Reformed Preacher Portrait will have a timelapse of the illustration and an associated article which will have a short bio, how they impacted me, and some links to some my favorites of their resources so that others may also benefit.

John MacArthur's ministry is well-known, well-respected and well-criticized often! Yet few can deny the impact his consistency in focus on expository, line-by-line preaching has had on many. Many pastors and laypersons glean much insights from his commentaries, books, sermons, podcasts, and resources that Grace to You produces. MacArthur has been a great encouragement and influence on my faith - helping me to grow in my knowledge and love of God's word.

This is a digital sketch I did of Dr. Voddie Baucham Jr. in Adobe Fresco. Dr. Baucham is a husband, father, former pastor, author, professor, conference speaker, and church planter. He currently serves as Dean of Theology at African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia. He holds degrees from Houston Baptist University (BA in Christianity/BA in Sociology), Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (M.Div.), Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (D.Min.), an honorary degree from Southern California Seminary (D.D.), and additional post-graduate study at the University of Oxford, England (Regent’s Park College). So, needless to say - he is an immensely qualified writer. I recently finished reading his new book, Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming Catastrophe, and it is phenomenal! In it, he takes on one of the biggest ideologies sweeping our cultures today - Critical Social Justice. This timelapse video has a few short clips of him speaking on the topic to peak interest, however, I highly recommend getting a copy of the book! It is one of the most thorough and well argued treatments of Critical Social Justice, Critical Race Theory, Antiracism and Intersectionality that is available today.
