At this time of year residents of the USA reflect on what they are thankful for. Throughout the Scriptures we see instructions telling us to give thanks.  Upon reflection we all have many things to be thankful for. However, as people we often times become ungrateful and unthankful. What does being unthankful produce in our lives. How did being unthankful impact humanity? This is a very important un-talked about subject worthy of ou...

There is no author in all of Scripture who gives thanks more than the Apostle Paul. Yet, Paul very rarely tells anyone thank-you. How did our apostle to the Body of Christ express his thanks? This Thanksgiving let us try our best to be imitators of the Apostle Paul and follow his pattern of giving thanks!

Thank you for joining us as we celebrate our 200th episode of Differing Things! Throughout Christianity it has been taught that Jesus was forsaken by the Father at the time of His greatest need. This is a view that should terrify all believers. If the Father can forsake Jesus at the time of His greatest need, why would He not forsake us? Just what is being taught by the Scriptures and how should we understand Jesus' quotation of Ps...

Man's idea of justice is often different than God's idea of justice. Man seeks revenge, while God seeks to rehabilitate. These differences often skew our thinking when it comes to God's future plans. Man, often places upon God our standard of justice. Thank goodness God stays faithful and accomplishes what He set out to do!

Whether in the pub or in the pew, there is one question you can always count on hearing: “Did you see that game?” Sports are prominent in culture and relevant to life, which is why the average sports show often spends as much time talking about ethics, racism, crime, and sexuality, as it does athletics. What is the meaning of sports? This week's Differing Things Podcast attempts to answer this question. Do not forget to leave your...

A while age our Host Bill Petri presented a study about Progressive Revelation and a Bible outline. He attempted to answer the following questions: How do all the books of the Bible relate to each other, and what are they about? Why does Paul read so different than the rest of the Bible? Today's Differing Things looks at these very questions. If you are curious about the Bible or want to study it deeper, this is the perfect startin...

John 3:16 is the most well-known verse in all the Bible. Many Christians use it as a verse to present salvation to the unsaved. By doing this they prove their own ignorance of the Scriptures. John 3:16 is not a verse on how one gets saved today. It is a verse on how the Hebrew people were to be saved in their kingdom program. The present dispensation of the grace of God has a different message. Today's Differing Things Podcast look...

How often have you heard the question "Why do bad things happen to good people? The answer may shock you. The Apostle Paul gives a very clear concise answer. Paul also gives us the solution to all of our problems. The problem is most individuals either fail to read Paul's writings, or they misapply, or misunderstand what is written.

One of the most powerful verses in all of Scripture is Philippians 3:10. It is divided by its main words and can be stated in its four phrases. 1.) The all-governing passion: "That I may know Him." 2.) The effectual power: "The power of His resurrection. 3.) The essential basis: "The fellowship of His sufferings." 4.) The progressive principle: "Conformed to His death." How do these phrases help us with our Christian life and ident...

Why are so many Christians illiterate about the Scriptures? In the west we have had religious freedom for a long time, and yet our freedom has turned to illiteracy. What impact does this have on our Christian life, and why is it so important?

    The Burden

    The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
