Episode 24--God’s Promises Revisited
The notjustanotherreligionandpoliticspod's Podcast
I want to revisit God’s promises. If you remember, I first discussed God’s promises in episode 13. But I really wanted to bonus God’s promises especially in light of the mayhem we are all currently living through. 2020 has been tougher than many of us have had to endure, and unfortunately, although there is a little light at the end of the tunnel, 2021 has had its own challenges.

Speaking of John, there is some back and forth that I found in my research, that there were apparently two men named John around that time period and there is some question as to which John wrote Revelations.

Hello, Civilla Morgan here! Welcome to episode 08 of the Not Just Another Religion and Politics Podcast! Thank you for tuning in! So here’s the deal:
I want this podcast to speak to people, not yell at people. Whether you are a Believer or not, a Christian or not, I want this podcast to be so plain in its language, that even if you have never stepped foot in a church, you will get this. You will get who Jesus is, and you will get what relationship with Him could be like, despite what people--Christians and non-Christians, try to do to get you to turn your back. Come along with me. I promise it will be a really cool experience!

Discussing doubt:
So if there is an ebb and flow, is doubt natural? And if so, why did Jesus berate Peter?
Scriptures mentioned by our guest:
- Matthew 14:25-
- Verse 28-30
- Mark 9--’Lord I believe, help my unbelief’
Episode Takeaways:
‘There is a constant between tension and faith and doubt.’
‘Doubt is a by-product of a misplaced focus.’
‘Faith and doubt can’t co-exist.’
‘Faith is a by-product of a Christ-centered focus.’
‘Ask the question ‘what are we praying for?’
‘It is better to fight doubt than to give up.’
‘I don’t believe any of us are doomed to doubt.’
‘It’s the people who step out in faith who get to walk on the water.’
Closing commentary:
Don’t forget, I would love to hear from you on the question:
‘Who is God?’
