Rick Fry in Real Time

Episode 1: Gospel Zero is a collaborative work by Andrew Farley and John Lynch.  The creative genius of these two writers has given us an interpretive glimpse of what modern day letters apostles might write to today’s church. Does God’s grace need to be balanced? Is there a place for “spiritual disciplines?” 

Episode 3: Rick and Steve establish that the rhema word of God is not only the bible, but also the words He speaks to us individually. John 3:33-34: He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true. For He whom God has sent speaks the Words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.

Episode 2: In the beginning was the Word (John 1:1) and this Word was fully God and Jesus existed in the beginning. It is true that this Word is Christ but at the same time God’s words were the Bible. Rick and Steve talk about the difference and the sameness of His Word.

Episode 1: Rick And Steve discuss the meaning of the words “logos” and “rhema” as they relate to the words of God.

Episode 3: Our discussion flows into Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.” Is that verse is taken out of context to get people to believe in Christ?

Episode 2: Steve and Rick discuss the plausibility of the back stories, and what Steve wished they had done differently.

Episode 1: Rick and Steve begin a discussion on how the TV Show The Chosen has impacted Steve’s life. How does the quality compare to other Christian productions?

Part 3: In this audio only episode Rick and Tony go over how patriarchy shuts down half the population, and adds to the difficulty of finding solutions to distractions because half the voices are not heard.

Part 2: In this episode Rick and Tony talk about how to find balance in our lives, family and with God in the distractions that came at us from all sides.

Part 1: Rick and Tony discuss some of the major distractions we experience in our lives.

Episode 3: Rick and Joel talk about the difference between being passionate or dogmatic about the message of Grace.

Episode 2: Rick and Joel discuss how when Christians are presented with this message of Grace, do they identify with a belief system more than a truth?

Episode 1: Joel Brueseke talks with Rick about the difference between the two covenants.

Studying scripture doesn’t require deep dives into academic papers. There are plenty of publications that are written to help you discover who you are in Christ. Today we discuss some of them. 

Rick and Larry talk about the importance of clarity about what “inerrant” means in the context of scripture. The Word of God (Jesus) is inerrant, and the original manuscripts are without error. God insured that what the original writer used the words God gave them.

In this week’s episode of In Real Time Rick has a deep conversation with Larry Eiss on the process of the difficulties of translating scripture. It begins with Romans 8:1 with a discussion on how some translations have different endings of this verse. While scripture remains inerrant there are many variances.

Hebrews 10:25: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Often when we meet with other believers one of the first questions we get asked is “where do you go to church?” It seems rather innocuous, but this question, has 4 purposes I want to explore.

In this episode Rick reveals the works-based approach the Four Spiritual Laws advocate in their approach to the gospel. In all the accounts in the New Testament Jesus never requires someone to confess or repent as a condition for salvation.

In this episode of In Real Time Rick asks why we continue to pray a prayer that has been answered. He goes through each phrase of the prayer and discover Jesus answered the entire prayer at the Cross.
