PODCAST

Conversations with Ray Martinez

My podcasts vary from interviews with people, storytelling of my past experiences, and sharing other stories that are uplifting, caring, and sensitive topics most people don"t want to engage in, but listen to with interest and concern. Some of the podcasts contain Christian connotations and current events at the time of the podcast. The intent is for uplifting moments while sharing life lessons and reasonable thinking.

What is family, Community & Unity? | Gal 3:7-14

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

2022/05/23

In India, animals are worth more than the human. In Hatti, people think they are cursed. Anyone can curse another with Voodoo. What do you do if you feel like you are cursed? Everyone who doesn’t trust Jesus is cursed. The Scripture says: “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us.” If we only had faith in Christ, the curse is lifted. This is a clear message of unity, family, and community. Faith bounds us together like family and it makes us the family of God. All

Have you committed the unpardonable sin? | Mark 3:28-30

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

2022/05/16

The "blasphemy challenge" is an internet-based project that invites young people to submit videos to Youtube or other video internet hosts, in which they record themselves blaspheming or denying the existence of the Holy Spirit. The Pharisees said that the work of Jesus by the Holy Spirit was really the devil's work. Nobody should say that the work of God is Satan’s work. God will forgive anyone who is really sorry. But to say that God’s work is Satan’s work is a different kind of sin. It means that

The apprentice | Mark 1:16-18

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

The call of Jesus was straight forward….come and follow me. Another way to translate that is “come and be my disciple." In the first century world, Discipleship was the apex of the Jewish education system. There were three levels to Jewish education. The terminology, “Christian” is used 2 or 3 times in the new testament and only in a negative light. Whereas disciple is used 268 times in the NT, more than any other moniker to be the sons and daughters of God. Jesus’ followers were called “disciples”

Curt Brian Moore Eulogy | April 23, 2022

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

2022/04/25

My cousin, Curt Moore, passed away on April 3, 2022 @ 11:20pm. The family asked me to deliver the eulogy, which I am very grateful about, for the Mass that was held April 23, 2022 at 1:00pm. Cousin Joannie Moore conducted the Rosary on behalf of the family as well. Curt will always reside in our hearts forever more. He leaves us a legacy of friendship, family, and loyalty in our fondest moments of life. St. Paul said in 2Corinthians 5:8, "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."

Mind your own business | Col 3:2-3

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

2022/04/25

The average person has more than 6,000 thoughts in a single day. That’s a lot of thinking! There are so many distractions in our lives. Even with the chaotic pace of our days, there are quick and simple ways to focus on being mindful. The practice of mindfulness is simply bringing awareness to the current moment, without judgement. God wants us to take our thoughts deep inside our minds and stay focused on him or be constantly thinking about His guidance. The scripture teaches us to "love the Lord

Living the dream--a new life | Rom 6:4-10

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

2022/04/18

The believer’s power over sin and the ability to lead a new life stem from identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. From God’s perspective, Jesus’ death to sin is ours as well. His rising to new life means that we also begin to lead a new life, and in the future our bodies will also be raised. In scholastic achievments, we can read a book and know what it says, but we may not necessarily believe it. In the life of Christ, we cannot possibly “know God’s word” without believing in

When is the rapture? | 1Th 4:13-18

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

2022/04/16

The timing of the rapture in relation to the tribulation is one of the most controversial issues in the church today. First, it is important to recognize the purpose of the tribulation. According to Daniel 9:27, there is a seventieth "seven" (seven years) that is still yet to come. While this does not necessarily indicate that the church could not also be present, it does bring into question why the church needs to be on the earth during that time. Another crucial passage on the timing of the

Reach out and touch someone | Mark 1:41

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

2022/04/07

Experiments, and research has uncovered an astonishing number of poor health outcomes that result when we are deprived of touch. The correlation between anxiety, depression and stress and touch is large and inversely related. There is something about “touching” that is so relevant and needed not only for healing, but for comfort, and a unique way of communicating. The laying on of hands was an action referred to on numerous occasions in the Bible to accompany the conferring of a blessing or

Are miracles in the bible literal? | John 2:23

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

2022/04/01

Yes, the miracles of the Bible are to be taken literally, just as all Scripture is to be taken literally, except those portions which are clearly intended to be symbolic. Each of the miracles in the Bible served a purpose and accomplished something that couldn't be accomplished in any other way. Once we begin to doubt the reality of any miracle, we have to discount everything the Bible says came about as a result of the miracle, which puts all of Scripture in doubt. --- Send in a voice message:

You've undoubtedly seen the ubiquitous Capital One ad campaign featuring celebrities asking that now famous question “What's In Your Wallet?” The company wanted to use the quote because it's an interesting question. The stuff in our wallet represents financial security, purchase power, and prosperity. Today we’re gonna be talking about what’s in your toolbox or what’s in your wallet. How do we use scripture to secure us, to reassure us, and procure our needs? --- Send in a voice message:

Do this for one another | Rom 15:5-8

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

2022/03/21

Being and serving one another is scripturally based for sure. Let’s think of some other scriptures, from the Words of Jesus, that discusses the idea of “one another”. If we don’t know how to comfort one another, Paul teaches us that God is “the source of all comfort.” Follow in his steps, one step at a time. We are taught to accept one another, to forgive one another, serve one another, honor one another, exhort one another, encourage one another. And then there are the do nots to one another. We

Correcting our ways | Phi 4:8-9

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

2022/03/12

Five other times in Scriptures the word “fix” is used by God to give us direction. God gives us a clear direction to keep our focus fixed upon His will; for us to permanently maintain our focus, our centre of attention, firmly on God. We are admonishes to keep our hearts and minds, our intellect and the very fibre of our being, always feasting on the word of God, constantly meditating on His word and doing His will. Satan can’t get your attention when your mind is preoccupied with something else

Drifting Away | Mat 6:33

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

People do not drift towards holiness. People do not gravitate towards holiness, obedience, prayer, scripture, and the delight in the Lord. We drift towards compromise and call it tolerance, we drift towards disobedience and call it freedom, we drift towards superstition and call it faith, we drift”… It’s important that we engage with faith driven effort. We have to be in pursuit. The biblical writers intend to instill steadfast hope in the readers to keep them from drifting about aimlessly through

Which way do I go? | Deut. 31:6

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

2022/02/26

Many times in our decision making process we don’t know which way to go. We might not know which way to go, but God does. The Scriptures are clear that God will show us our path in life. the scripture teaches us that if we are godly He will direct the very steps that we take and He really enjoys every detail of our life, even when we stumble, He says I’ve got your hand so you don’t get hurt. God sees us as his little children and he wants to watch every step that we take. Will we allow him to do so

Luke and Cleopus were engaged in a fervent discussion about the death of Jesus. One may have been doubting, but they were still spreading the good word, even though they are sadden that they have not seen Jesus, arisen. Jesus suddenly appears to them, without revealing himself, and asks what they are discussing? Jesus explains to them that he was from the beginning. In this podcast we discover why the law is still important to us today, and how Jesus played a role in all creation, including the

Rescue 911 | 2Peter 1:9

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

2022/02/12

There are times, we want to do God’s will, our way, instead of His way. Peter needed to assure his readers that their struggles to live godly lives in the face of false teaching and the world’s mockery would be rewarded. God knows how to rescue us. In other words we don’t know how, but God does. When we are at wits end and don’t know what to do, we refer to God and what He taught us: Trust God. Don't depend on your own understanding, seek Him out, and he will show you the way. God uses rescued

Control yourself with self control | 2Peter 1:6

Conversations with Ray Martinez ·

2022/02/05

Even what seems to be some of the smallest things in our life are many times some of the most difficult. Such as: our appetite, exercising to the point of injuries, and our tongue. The Bible warns us that if we do not have self control, we will be slaves to what controls us. Impulse control is never easy. All of us struggle with overcoming sinful impulses. We are not to feed our minds with that which will promote sinful thoughts. We are to pursue hard after God, replacing sinful thoughts with godly

Are we a giver, or a taker? | Luke 6:38

There should be a reason why you are giving. God gave out of love so that no one would perish if they would choose to believe on his son. Are you giving for personal recognition, for personal gain, or to influence someone? Or are you giving just for tax deduction reasons? Will you still give if the federal government takes away the tax deduction? The intent of your giving says it all. The silent donors or anonymous donors at fundraising events understand the law of giving. Don’t let your left hand
