    Oct 24 2025

    We continue our “Fall Features” Series with another special guest interview…and it’s a topic with which our “Deeper in the Word” audience should be VERY familiar!


    Because this episode, we are joined by renown author, speaker and Bible teacher, Ms. Ava Pennington of Bible Study Fellowship International, who will discuss her new book, entitled Flourish: Grace-Centered Practices to Protect and Grow a Fruitful Life in Christ, which is designed to help readers grow in their Christian walk, specifically through fostering a greater understanding and applicability of the Fruit of the Spirit in their lives (as those nine attributes are outlined in the Book of Galatians 5:22-23).


    Join us as we learn how to cultivate these spiritual characteristics and disciplines in our lives so that we are effectively “Bearing Fruit” for the Lord!

  • "Custody Battle" [Sea 6 | Ep 19]

    "Custody Battle" [Sea 6 | Ep 19]
    Aug 18 2025

    Yunno…if you’ve ever been involved in a custody battle – or know someone who has – you know they can be long and protracted…AND, they can get extremely ugly at times. Truly, custody battles often can and do get VERY bitter and bring out the very worst in people.


    Well, friends…..did you know that YOU AND as Believers I are engaged in a battle that goes on DAILY for our very souls? EVERY DAY there is a REAL custody battle going on for the soul of every Believer, where good and evil are LITERALLY fighting within EACH of us, for CONTROL over us


    So the REAL question becomes…….which one will you allow PARENTAGE to? Which one will YOU assign full parental rights, full custodial rights?


    Come fellowship with us and see how we can learn to pick the RIGHT custodial parent to assign our care and control over to, so that we don’t end up unnecessarily engaged in a “Custody Battle”!

  • "Fruit of Our Labors" [Sea 6 / Ep 18]

    "Fruit of Our Labors" [Sea 6 / Ep 18]
    May 27 2025

    When we speak about the “fruit of our labors”, we’re talking about the outcome or rewards of our efforts in doing something…..that is, you see that the work you put into doing something starts to pay off.


    Well, when we talk about following Christ and trying to live a Christlike existence, there are certain markers or qualities which prove whether or not you will see the fruit of your labors; that is, whether you’ll be able to tell if your efforts are paying off. They are known as the fruit of the Spirit, and these nine characteristics demonstrate that the Holy Spirit is present in your life. So how do you go about manifesting them, and how can you tell if you truly embody them?


    Come fellowship with us during this week’s episode of “Deeper in the Word”, as we explore the nine fruit of the Spirit in order to allow us to examine our lives and see if our efforts to live Christlike are proving the “Fruit of Our Labors”!

  • "Heaven Forbid" [Sea 6 | Ep 17]

    "Heaven Forbid" [Sea 6 | Ep 17]
    May 12 2025
    Question: do YOU think you’re going to Heaven when you die? Well, I guess the first question should be whether or not you first BELIEVE that Heaven is a real place. If so, then the issue of you going or not going becomes paramount. But perhaps what’s even MORE paramount is WHY you think you’re going to Heaven when you die…like, what’s your BASIS for thinking that? And are you SURE you’re correct in your reasoning? Because here’s the shocking truth: many Christians who THINK they’re going to Heaven when they die are going to be utterly dismayed and heartbroken when they discover that THEY AIN’T GOIN’. And that’s not me making a judgement about them, that comes STRAIGHT from the mouth of Jesus Himself! Come fellowship with us during this episode of “Deeper in the Word” as we challenge YOUR notion about whether or not you’re going to Heaven by giving you the FACTS associated with that invitation….because “Heaven Forbid” you meet Jesus and He ends up REJECTING you and DENYING your access to the Kingdom of God!

    "A Call to Worship" [Sea 6 / Ep 16]
    Apr 15 2025
    It’s Holy Week! A time when we celebrate the sacrifice which Christ made for us when he went to the cross and died for our sins for all time., and what our RESPONSE to that sacrifice should look like. In fact, there’s a particular posture we should ALWAYS take when it comes to the reverence and adoration we show to the Lord….one of continual and true WORSHIP. But what does TRUE worship even look like? How do we go about demonstrating it? So goes this Holy Week episode of “Deeper in the Word”, where we examine this important aspect of glorifying God, highlighting it in particular as we contemplate the coming of Easter. Come celebrate “The Super Bowl Week of Christianity” with us as we explore the foundations of true worship, WHERE that worship should originate, and the precise elements necessary to effectuate that worship!

  • "State of the Art", with special guest Mr. Hooman Khalili

    "State of the Art", with special guest Mr. Hooman Khalili
    Apr 7 2025
    As many of you know, “Deeper in the Word” and Benevolent Faith Ministries take very seriously our commitment to our international listeners, particularly those in countries where believing in the Gospel of Jesus Christ is prohibited or even illegal. The Bible tells us that we are ALL brothers and sisters in Christ, no matter what our geographic locations may be. That’s why what has been going on in Iran is of such importance to us…Christianity is spreading like wildfire in that country, and so of course the OPPOSITION to that spread has been just as intense. Fortunately, there are folks who are trying to highlight the atrocities occurring in that country, and sometimes through unorthodox means. That’s where this episode’s guest comes in….as an Iranian-American who is deeply entrenched within the entertainment industry, he’s using his platform to bring attention to the plight of Christian Iranians through a very unique manner. Come fellowship with us for this important episode and see how his efforts to improve Persian/Jewish relations are making an impact around the world. Topics include what the Bible says about Persian/Jewish relations, how the use of artwork in the form of murals (get it? Start of the ART?) is highlighting the struggles of Iranian Christians…AND, how a FIRE almost broke out during this very interview!

  • "Undignified Praise" [Sea 6 / Ep 14]

    "Undignified Praise" [Sea 6 / Ep 14]
    Mar 31 2025
    Whether singing in your car or singing praise and worship, sometimes we get so caught up in the music and in the moment, that we can’t help but to let loose in total joy. It may look weird to some, and it MIGHT be downright offensive to others…because some in the church are more concerned about what OTHERS think or what OTHERS will say if they let themselves go and freely praise God. This is the situation that King David faced in our text today, where the king’s wife, Michal, accused David of being undignified in public worship. But as David is going to show us, biblical worship involves AN AUDIENCE OF ONE, and God encourages His worshipers NOT to be ashamed or reluctant to display their faith publicly. Check out this latest episode of "Deeper in the Word" and learn HOW and WHY you should always come to a place where you’re giving God your BEST “Undignified Praise”!
