Simple Discipleship - UNFILTERED

Part b of Part 1 goes so much deeper!  Continue this journey with us into The Book of ACTS!!!

The early church nearly fractured over one question, and it sounds uncomfortably familiar today: do new believers have to take on extra rules to really belong? We walk through Acts 15 as the Jerusalem Council wrestles with circumcision, the Law of Moses, and the flood of Gentiles coming to Jesus. What stands out is the way God settles ...

Bro. Ernie continues taking us deeper into The Book of ACTS!!! Get your Bibles and notebooks ready!

A crowd sees a real miracle and immediately tries to turn the messengers into gods. That’s the pressure point in Acts 14, and it’s where Paul and Barnabas show us what spiritual authority actually looks like: they refuse worship, they reject celebrity culture, and they push every ounce of glory back to the living God.

EPISODE 100!!! Join Sis. Diahanna, Sis. Audia and Sis. Anne as we tell about our journey in the Summer of 2026.

3,846 miles in a rental car will test your patience and your posture, but it can also turn into a rolling altar. We sit around the table and tell the full story of our August mission trip from Forney, Texas to the Crow Reservation with as a Crow Flies Ministries, led by Sister Beth Landrum. From family dinner in Rio Rancho...

Sis. Diahanna and Sis. Anne headed out to a prayer event in Israel October 7, 2026 and we were forever changed.  Sis. Audia shares some of her experiences in Israel from 6 years ago.  Listen to our story below.

The news can make Israel feel like a headline you scroll past, but standing in the land changes what you think you know. We’re sharing our Israel travel testimony the real way, with the sore feet, the tight fl...

Part "b" goes even deeper!!!  Hold on!!!

Jesus tells the Samaritan woman at the well that he can give “living water” and that single phrase opens a trail that runs through the whole Bible. Around the table, we dig into the Gospel of John chapter 4 and ask the question behind the question: what did “living water” mean in Israel’s world, and why would Jesus expect it to land with spiritual weight ins...

Bro. Ernie continues taking us deeper into The Gospel of St. John!  Get ready!!!

Jesus doesn’t drift into John 4, he aims for it. When the pressure rises and the Pharisees take notice, we watch Jesus leave Judea and choose a route most people avoided: straight through Samaria. That one decision forces a bigger question for all of us: what does God do on purpose that we keep calling “coincidence”?

Around...

Thank you for joining us "Around the Table" with Sis. Tammy Michell and her awesome husband Bro. Jeff.  Listen as she shares a bit of her testimony and reveals how God is using it all for His good and His Glory!!! 

A hot meal can fill your stomach, but it can also start a relationship that pulls somebody back from the edge. That’s where this conversation goes as I sit down with evangelist Tammy Mitchell, president of...

Class resumes as Bro. Ernie continues this study into The Book of ACTS.  Get your Bibles, Notebooks and highlighters ready!  

The gospel doesn’t drift into a city quietly. It lands, it divides the room, and it forces a decision and Acts 14 shows that clash in full color. Around the table, we keep our “simple presentation” moving through Acts 14:1–13, starting in Iconium where Paul and Barnabas preac...

We didn't intend on discussing 9/11, but it just happened...candid, raw stories of where we each were...what we felt and how we feel today.  Have we forgotten?

9/11 is one of those dates that instantly rewires your memory, and we start there by going around the table and telling the truth about where we were, what we saw, and what we felt. Shock, grief, and fear hit fast, but so does something people do not always admit out lou...

Bro. Ernie continues taking us on this journey into The Book of ACTS.  Today we finish up Chapter 13...hold on tight!  Get your Bible, your highlighter and your notepad! Let's go!!!

Almost the whole city shows up to hear Paul preach and that’s when the pushback gets loud. We’re in Acts 13:42–52, watching a wildfire moment of spiritual hunger turn into open contradiction, blasphemy, and persecution, and th...

Bro. Ernie takes a deep dive with us as we finish up the The Gospel of St. John, Chapter 3. Get your Bibles, notebooks and highlighters ready!   

John 3 is familiar, but the details can still stop you in your tracks if you slow down long enough to listen. We sit around the table and follow Jesus’ words to Nicodemus with fresh eyes, starting with the “born again” phrase and building a vivid picture from na...

Bro. Ernie continues taking us on this journey through The Book of ACTS.  Get your Bibles, notebooks and highlighters ready!

If you’ve ever wondered why one preacher says “just believe” while the Book of Acts keeps repeating repentance, baptism, and receiving the Holy Ghost, we’re putting that question under a bright light. Around the table, we work through Acts with a simple but demanding tool: comparis...

Listen as we gather "Around the Table" with Bro. Ernie Perez and Sis. Anne, Sis. Audia and myself as we dig a little deeper into the writings of Luke.

Luke doesn’t open with hype he opens with receipts. We slow down in Luke 1:1-4 and ask why a New Testament writer would emphasize eyewitnesses, an “orderly account,” and the word certainty. If your faith has ever felt shaky under pressure, this conversation brings yo...

Join us in class as Bro. Ernie continues to take us on this journey into The Book of ACTS!  Get your Bibles, your Notebooks and Pens ready!!!

Paul ends a synagogue sermon with a line that should stop all of us cold: “Behold, ye despisers… and perish.” Why would a Spirit-led preacher warn religious people like that? We sit around the table and walk slowly through Acts 13, especially Paul’s claim that for...

Join us for this truly "around the table" discussion.  We talk true repentance...and encounters that last a lifetime.  

Some faith questions can be answered with study, but some can only be answered with a moment you can’t unlive. Around the table, we go straight into the tension between Christian apologetics and personal encounter, and why the “defense of the faith” feels hollow when it is separated from...

Bro. Ernie continues the journey into The Book of ACTS - get your Bible, your notebook and your highlighters ready!!!

Belief is easy to say, but hard to live and Acts 13 forces the question: if faith never produces repentance, what did we actually believe? Around the table, we continue our simple discipleship Bible study through Acts 13 (part two), tracking Paul’s sermon in the synagogue at Pisidian Antioch and watching how he...

Join us around the table as we continue this journey into the Book of ACTS.  Bro. Ernie continue into Chapter 13 a little deeper.  Get ready!

The resurrection isn’t a vague spiritual idea. It’s a claim with witnesses, prophecies, and consequences. We pick back up in Acts 13:31-41 and follow Paul’s logic as he preaches Jesus risen from the dead, seen by many, and proven through the Scriptures the first bel...

Bro. Ernie leads the class through a deep dive into what John is saying about being born again!  Get your Bible, your notebook and let's go!

You can read John 3 a hundred times and still miss how practical Jesus is being with Nicodemus. We slow the conversation down and take Jesus at His word: “born again” is not presented as a slogan or a quick moment, but as a real birth process that starts with an experience and ...

Join us around the table today as we go a little further into ACTS 13 with Bro. Ernie...unapologetically.  

David’s name gets used as a shortcut for greatness, but Scripture refuses to airbrush his story. We start with Acts 13 and the line that stops a lot of readers cold: God promises “the sure mercies of David” and ties that promise directly to Jesus’ resurrection. So what are those mercies, and why wo...
