2021/12/08

Last week I learned of the passing of one of God's servants, Pastor Ken Hereford. He attended Bible college at Maranatha Baptist Bible University where he received a degree in Theological Studies after which he launched into church planting here in the stateline area of Illinois and Wisconsin. One of these churches, Grace & Truth Church, actually met in my classroom in its early days.

191 - Pastor Appreciation

Basic Bible Podcast ·

2021/11/07

Ok, so this episode is a little late due to an unexpected stay in the hospital But, here we are at last celebrating pastor appreciation month. So, basically, I shoved a microphone in front of several confused pastors and asked them each, "When, as a pastor, do you feel most appreciated?" My prayer is that through this episode you will not only gain a better appreciation for your pastor, but learn how to express that appreciation in a meaningful way.Recommended Resources:For God's Sake, Rest! by

189 - Legalism and the Slippery Slope

Basic Bible Podcast ·

2021/10/11

Legalism is something every Christian must fight against. We all have the urge a time to measure our faith (or the faith of others) but some outside, extra-Biblical standard. In hopes of solidifying our faith, legalism only drives us away from Christ leads to depend on our own strength and virtue. This week's podcast features a clip from a sermon preached by one of my favorite preachers, Bob Bixby of Redeemer Church in Freemont, CA. Pastor Bob was once my pastor and still continues to be a mentor

You hear that knock on the door and you know its not a salesman. Two well dressed men with pamphlets and Bibles are trying to talk to you about your soul.

Episode 183 - A Hope Filled Life

Basic Bible Podcast ·

2021/08/10

Everyone needs hope. We all cling to some sort of hope. But, as believers, what is our ultimate hope? Where can we turn for hope? The Scripture offers us not merely an optimistic feeling based on good intentions, but a solid confidence found in the gospel. In his book, A Hope Filled Life, Pastor James R. Wilkes seeks to give a theology of hope grounded in the Word of God. You won't want to miss this episode. Not only is this author a great pastor, but he was my pastor for many years growing

2021/08/02

Last week Evangelist Tom Farrell went to be with the Lord at the age of 69 after suffering from a brain tumor. I have found memories of hearing Dr. Farrell preach at the Wilds Christian camp several times when I was a teenager. He preached with passion and loved the Word. This week I'll share my greatest memory of him, this interview I conducted with him at the Wilds about 25 years ago. This also has the distinction of being the very first interview I ever recorded with anyone! I was only a

177 - Jesus and John Wayne

Basic Bible Podcast ·

2021/06/15

This is the interview I've been looking forward to post. Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez is convicting and fascinating history of the modern evangelical movement. While I don't agree with every conclusion she draws, the book is well worth your time. There are lessons on patriarchy, abuse and the mishandling of Scripture that should give us much to think about and even act upon. Kristen was very kind to give us a few minutes of her time on what was an incredibly busy day for her as
