The Truth Of The Matter Is

The Word of God can be easy to read at times and hard to read at times. The key to be a good student is to be willing to search and be wrong. Everything in the Bible should not be taken literally and everything in the Bible should not be taken figuratively. The challenge is finding out when we should read it in that lens. Continuing in the Gospel of Matthew series we come across a passage that requires time to unpack and after list...

These words are also used to measure performance. Whether it’s in the past or presen...

Here on The Truth of the matter is I do my best to post once a week. However as a student of God's Word I found myself taking an additional week of study.

The truth of the matter is The Lord God can show up in subtle ways.  The question is are we paying attention to when He does? The question that we often ask on the podcast is how has the Lord been a blessing to you? It's a fundamental question, yes but that reflection component is so essential. This week on the podcast Johnathan spends more time giving the Word of God credit as to how he was blessed this past week as opposed t...

Merry Christmas. If you are traveling, be safe. If you are going to see family and friends make sure you tell them that you appreciate them. In This episode I decided to unpack Luke 2:19. If you are on the road, taking the train, getting on a plane this is for you! Any time I was traveling for the holidays I always wanted to have content to listen to but guess what? Everyone was busy and took off, so I wanted to do something differ...

 There comes a time when you read the scriptures that you are going to have more questions than answers. Does that mean you should be concerned? No. Here's why: what makes the Word of God interesting and such a mystery is that it will leave you with the opportunity to search for those answers. It will give you the opportunity to get on your knees and ask God for his to reveal things to you. Matthews 7:7 NLT says, Keep on askin...

This Week I Returns after (Mia) for 2-3 weeks due to work related commitments. Instead of continuing with the Gospel of Matthew Series This week I felt inspired to go much deeper into a conversation that got started at the outskirts of the genesis of this podcast dealing with episode 1. It was episode 1 that I never went back and provided a much more comprehensive breakdown of what the Bible has to offer in greater detail followed ...

Continuing with the Gospel of Matthew series we move on to unpack Matthew 11:2-5. It was this passage of Scripture that inspired the title of episode 178.  It was this passage of Scripture that made me realize what we hear can definitely impact what we might believe and what we will ultimately see. As people of faith there is nothing more straightforward than this: Walking by Faith, concentrating not on what is seen but on wha...

Continuing through the Gospel of Matthew series we move on to Matthew chapter 11. I found myself completely stopping at verse 1 and it reads: When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities. At first It seemed like such a basic sentence it's time to move on but because we just had finished chapter 10 before eventually moving on to chapter 11 verse 1 really sums up ...

Explaining the value of having someone who is a father a parent to give experience perspective.
