Removing Barriers
Many barriers exist that can prevent us from seeing the cross clearly. We want to attempt to remove those barriers and share the gospel. But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear (1 Peter 3:15). For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (Romans 1:16)

Muslims try to shut down Christian evangelism, a former lieutenant governor commits murder-suicide, scientists just can't let go of millions of years despite evidence, and a sad generational case in Trinidad all remind us of the desperate need for evangelism and ministry to the lost all across the globe. Political and social commentary can be made one way or the other, but Jesus Christ and Him crucified is th...

Jason Windnagle and his family are called to minister to the American servicemembers stationed in South Korea. They also reach out to and minister to the South Koreans around them. People may think that servicemembers have a true understanding of the gospel, but you will discover as you listen to this episode that this is overwhelmingly NOT the case! The U.S. Armed Forces are a cross sect...

On this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Phil Stringer and Dr. Jim Scudder to discuss arguable the most polarizing nation in the world today: Israel. In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, the political right in the United States has in many ways splintered (some would even argue it has fractured), and the issue underlying this change seems to be Israel and the U.S.' staunch support of...

The Lord Jesus Christ is the head of the church. He died and rose again to redeem her, and He prayed for her even while He was yet on this earth. The body of Christ is a disparate collection of sinners saved by the grace of God through faith. As members of the same body, scripture clearly calls us to do things for one another. Do you know what those things are? Join us on this episode as we go through all the verses we c...
Episode 232
Dr. Phil Stringer joins us on the Removing Barriers podcast to discuss whether dispensationalism is biblical. Critics say it is merely a theological fad of the 20th century that we must abandon for the frameworks of early church fathers. Increasingly, dispensationalism has come under intense scrutiny as a conduit to wrong theology, wrong eschatology, and even wrong politics. Are the critics right? What is dispensationali...

While discussing Donald Trump, Joy Behar, the ever-productive source of insane speech, claimed that Jesus never called Himself the Messiah. She said that with a straight face, full conviction, without hesitation or doubt. When rebutted by her cohosts, Behar declared that it would be narcissistic for anyone to declare themselves the Messiah, even if, as in Jesus' case, you really are. Trump's narcissism was the context fo...

On this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we discuss H. R. 22, the SAVE America Act. The bill has passed in the House but faces significant challenges in the senate, even with the strong bipartisan support. What is the SAVE America Act? Can it really do much to safeguard the nation's elections after the unfettered illegal immigration into the country? Is it true that the bill either will or can be used to disenfr...

Evangelist David Sommerdorf sits down with the Removing Barriers podcast to discuss his newest book Legalism, Liberty, and Lawlessness. If there was ever a time where Christians were confused about the differentiation between these things, it could certainly be today. Whether we are holding on to a standard as proof of justification or whether we are dismissing all standards as legalism to live with no Christian distinct...

On a cold January day in Minneapolis, a young mother senselessly and tragically lost her life protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. How her life was lost is intensely disputed; she was either a radicalized leftist that tried to kill an ICE officer with her car or she was an innocent wallflower just trying to get out of a dangerous situation. The truth, of course, is somewhere in the middle, but the tra...
