    Episode 198: What Is the Unpardonable Sin?
    Jul 1 2024
    The word "pardon" means to relieve someone of the burden of their legal consequences. In a Christological understanding of this concept, Christ shed his blood and rose from the dead in order to suffer in our stead and relieve us of the consequences of hell (1 Cor. 15:1-4, Ro. 6:23, Ro. 10:9-10, Col. 1:13-14) . In his grace and mercy, he pardoned our sin (Eph. 2:8-9, Ro. 11:6). Now, in some Christian circles, there are some that hold to the idea that there is a sin that is so terrible that it is deemed unpardonable. They believe that to commit this sin will cause you to lose your salvation or perhaps prohibit you from ever receiving it. The problem is, among those that believe in the unpardonable sin, they can’t all agree on what it is, which makes it even scarier. Its ambiguity makes it feel like you are in a constant state of danger - walking through a minefield at night, hoping you don’t misstep because it might cost your eternity. This is obviously a topic with serious repercussions, so we have to know what the Bible is saying on this subject. To help us better understand what the Bible says about the unpardonable sin, we have invited Dr. Chris Best, missiology instructor to have a conversation with the provost of Living Faith Bible Institute, Brandon Briscoe, on this important topic regarding biblical soteriology.

    Good Grief: Understanding Loss Through God’s Lens Part 5
    Jun 26 2024
    In this episode of the Ps+ we learn how to biblically prevent our paralysis. During times of hardship, we are prone to drift into our own ways of coping that over time distort our perspective of ourselves, others, and God—leading us to getting stuck in and hopeless in our pain. It’s imperative for us to learn God’s way of understanding loss and grief so that we can respond rightly to our pain.

    Episode 196: II Peter 1, Partaking of Christ’s Divine Nature, Part 1
    Jun 17 2024
    II Peter 1 presents seven things the believer needs to add to their faith in order to mature in Christlike thought, behavior and speech. The promise of Scripture is that if these seven things are applied properly, the believer will grow in fruitfulness, a relationship with Christ now and an abundant entrance into His kingdom in the future (II Peter 1:8-11). Justin Trotter of Callie Harbin Baptist Church in Villa Rica, GA joins us today to walk through this passage, expounding what it means to grow in faith, virtue, knowledge and temperance. We examine these key components to fruitfully and faithfully living out the Christian life God has purposed for us as believers. In the next episode, we will walk through the last few things in this II Peter 1 list that the believer needs to add to their faith in order to receive a full reward at the judgment seat of Christ.

    Episode 195: An Introduction to Discipleship Central
    Jun 10 2024
    The Living Faith Bible Institute holds to a biblical philosophy of discipleship, which means a form of discipleship that looks like what Jesus offered his disciples, or what Paul offered Timothy and Titus: an up close and personal form of mentorship where a mature minister invests a biblical doctrine, principles and lifestyle into the life of a younger believer. For decades now, the churches in the Living Faith Fellowship have taken this discipleship approach very seriously — allocating people and resources to make discipleship their priority within their local churches. This approach to ministry has resulted in more zealous and mature church members, with greater biblical proficiency and personal maturity. With this in mind, the Living Faith Bible Institute has developed a new online resource to help pastors gain a biblical philosophy of discipleship as well as free training and coaching as their church implements discipleship. In this episode of the Postscript, Brandon Briscoe interviews Kenny Morgan, the Chair of the Foundations Program and Discipleship Pastor at Midtown Baptist Temple, to share with us about Discipleship Central and why this tool will help pastors and leaders effectively advance discipleship in their churches.
