Is this episode of Thread we witness the creation of fish, reptiles, and birds and we'll learn the answer to the age-old question, "Do animals have souls?" This question connects to another, larger one:  "Does God intend our life to be primarily conceived of as a "spiritual" life with its true allegiance to an unseen part of us, our souls, with the goal of going to an otherworldly place called, Heaven? Or does he intend our life to be primarily a physical life, firmly connected to Earth and all of its inhabitants? Is the ultimate destination of our lives as believers clouds and skies, or a recreated, and very physical earth?  All these questions start with day 6 of the Creation Overture.

In this episode, we study Day 2 of the creation narrative. On this day, we're told, God creates "the Firmament."  That's an old-world concept about the atmosphere around our blue planet.  We'll learn the importance of protecting our own infant creations once life begins and of creating a healthy, life-giving atmosphere in our worlds. Need more structure in your life?

What does he do with all his energies and abilities?In this episode, we'll open the Bible and read its perfect opening sentence, the one that tells us what this book is all about. Then, in the first paragraph, we'll learn about God by finding out how he chooses to introduce himself to mankind (with so many possibilities to choose from).

Hi! Welcome to Thread, Season 4! We're back with more verse-by-verse Bible study so you can build spiritual muscle through God's word.  For this season, we're choosing to go carefully  through Ge. 1-12 because it's the place to begin if you want to understand the message of the whole Bible properly.  Western Civilization, with its emphasis on the worth of each individual and the equality of all persons, is birthed with one verse in chapter one of Genesis, "So God created man in his image. In the image of God created he him, male and female created he them."Genesis has teaching about ecology, the dominion of mankind upon the earth, the spiritual war in the heavenlies, and the forsaken tree of life, the scene of the original rebellion that spoiled the creation and set in motion God's plan to reclaim the world He had created.I've spent the last 2 years studying Ge 1-12. It's been an amazing journey! I feel like I'm just now understanding the core story of the Bib

If you struggled to integrate the Bible and the current state of science, I believe this episode could really help you. As people of faith, we do not have to check our brains at the door. God gave us the ability to reason and to look into the nature of things and to experiment and to evolve mentally. What we need is not another level of denial about  proven scientific facts, but a deeper understanding of both science and the Bible and we'll see that they can both be friends. All truth is God's truth and science can only study what truly is as long as it stays out of politics and religion or anti-religion which is more the case today.In this episode, we work to understand the overall purpose of the Bible and of the Genesis narrative in particular.  Once we know what we are and aren't looking at, we can focus and see the amazing message God has sent to us through the creation narrative of Genesis 1-3, the foundation for the drama that continues throughout the Bible, to the crucifixion and resurre

Let's wrap up this season with the concept of a Powerful Servant. We see this example in the Apostle Paul as his examples of servanthood rewrote major life stages of people he spends time with. Servanthood is a powerful position, if you understand it properly. You become a catalyst to change people's moods, feelings, concepts... even re-write stories of their life!Join me and let's tie everything we've learned in the book of 2nd Corinthians!Support the show

It's like we've been on this long hike up a set of hills and have finally come to the peak. Time to sit a while, open the canteen, break out some food and enjoy the view from here. In the past 30 episodes we have walked with the Apostle Paul, a ministry pioneer in evangelism, pastoral care, apologetics, church planting, leadership development and discipleship. He has shared his heart, so transparently, about his experience in living a life of ministry. He has established his theology, life vision, and has shared with us some of the principles that have helped him to succeed in planting churches across the ancient world in a time of persecution and great testing.Support the show

Today, the real battle is not church growth, financial growth or personal growth.  It's church health, financial health and personal health. Healthy things grow. That's just what they do.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)

As believers we all know how important it is to claim our spiritual inheritance as God's children.  It's a good practice to train our  minds to believe that, "We are strong in him, because he is our strength."  In this passage the Apostle Paul shares a gem of a thought that motivates the best part of his personal ministry with others. It's not something you might expect.Support the show

Parenting is one of the most meaningful undertakings in anyone's life.  It has moments of glory. Days of routine and some of the deepest trials you can ever experience as an adult.

In this Thread Paul talks about the supernatural gifts of God that come by grace to all of us, gifts of power for ministry to set others free and he links these gifts to a pain we struggle with personally.Our status comes from our success, but our ability to minister to others comes from how deeply we have come to face and process the wounds inside of us—old wounds and fresh ones.  That’s where the power lies.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)

In this day of clergy scandals it is appropriate to ask who we should follow as our spiritual leaders. Some say, "No one but Jesus," but that doesn't really solve the problem because parents still need their kids to follow them or they can't parent, and the same throughout all legitimate channels of authority.Humans need to be organized to thrive and survive. We need leadership at varying levels, even in the church. Maybe not the thunderous power claimed by Pope's of the past, but some level of authority--of legitimacy.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)

Stories of religious abuse fill tabloids regularly. Religious abuse is a fact and rather than denying it, we need to learn to identify characteristics of abusive church leaders and either remove them from leadership or at least remove ourselves from the damage they can cause.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)

The good news is that we have been given a case of spiritual weapons, forged by God himself. These weapons have divine authority to demolish strongholds and take every thought captive until we live with the mind of Christ with our lives fully aligned with God's will for us and for the world.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RL4F28KKJPKWQ)

Ever seen one of those TV shows where someone gives a poor waitress a $100 tip and she goes to tears and tells this story about needing this money to keep the electricity on for her children in their tiny apartment?  Do you wish you could be a person who could do things like that for others?  You already are and in this Thread God wants you to catch the vision for your life that He has for you already. He's the King of all the Earth and if you are His child, then that makes you a prince or princess.Support the show
