The Vine
Jesus said, “I am the vine, you are the branches”. The term “THE VINE” is two-fold. First it’s a representation of Christ as the Word of God made flesh. The main theme of the podcast is GOSPEL in nature. Secondly, “THE VINE” is an internet slang with an underlying theme of communication of the aforementioned truth. We as “branches” must remain in “the Vine” in order to bear the fruits of the Spirit which brings glory to the Father. The podcast may include at times various guests discussing the Holy Bible, their personal relationship with Jesus in their life experience, and how it relates to the issues of the world around us. This is not a podcast geared to tearing people down, but, to build up, edify and encourage! Topical controversial issues will be placed in the mirror of the truth that is conveyed in the Scriptures and discussed in monologue and dialogue style type of communication. A relaxed atmosphere where information and truth collide.

Mind Your Peace
All you have to do is turn on the news and you can see the chaos happening in the world. We're seeing wars, famines, natural disasters, and growing division within the body of Christ at alarming rates. The enemy’s goal is simple: to steal, kill...
The Walking Dead
When I look at some social media posts, watch some church services online & even listen to how Christians communicate, it leaves very little to the imagination as to why we see the body of Christ as powerless as it is in these last days. Yo...
The Persecution of the Church
It’s no mystery. The Scriptures clearly states that in the last days the church of Jesus Christ will suffer persecution. Heck, we don’t even need to be in the end times before the church experiences persecution & tribulation. 2 Tim. 3:12 st...
Exposing Three Chief Ruling Spirits in These End Times
Holy Spirit, speaking through Paul, educates the church in regard to spiritual warfare in the book of Ephesians chapter 6 verses 10-18. Paul even tells us in 2 Cor. 2:11, “…for we are not ignorant of his (Satan’s) devices’. God told Is...
Liberal Christianity
Liberal Christianity is a term people use to identify themselves as a follower of Jesus Christ but approaches the Bible, doctrine, & Christian tradition with openness & flexibility with a progressive mindset. What has happened in today’...
Having No Fellowship with Darkness: Once Saved, Always Saved? Part 2
I firmly believe that ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Meaning, I don’t believe in reinventing the wheel. If God has given a revelation of Scripture to someone else in the Body of Christ, then I will use that to support my position in a podca...
Once Saved, Always saved?
As some of you may know, part of the vision of this podcast is to take controversial subjects & put them in front of the mirror of Scripture to validate the extent of that truth, because God’s Word is indeed truth. Unfortunately, there are ...
Faith & Confession: The Key to a Christian's Success & the Power to Change Circumstances

Middle East Crisis. The End Times/Radical Islam - Part 2: Christian Support for Terrorists.
It really doesn’t surprise me of the ignorance & deception in the Body of Christ. I mean, is there any sound doctrine out there? I’m being facetious of course. I know there is. I also know there are those that love God with all their heart ...
Real Christianity: Studying the Word of God Part 1
This podcast was done out of necessity. There is an attack today against the Word of God such as we’ve never seen in the history of the world. The righteous standard & holiness of God declared within the Holy Scriptures is being bombarded f...
New Years Resolutions
New Years Resolutions…I’m pretty sure we’ve all made them at some point in our lives. Even if we don’t label them as such. Admit it, you’ve always wanted to take advantage of a new year, a fresh start, another kick at the can, if you will, to a...
What Jesus Will You Serve in 2024?
It's one thing to hear & accept what the world states about their take on the person of Jesus Christ. It's a total other thing to hear & accept what church-goers state of their belief on who they think Jesus is. The definition of a Chri...
Middle East Crisis. The End Times/Radical Islam
In light of recent events in the Middle East I have decided to , once again, not continue with my series on Real Christianity, but instead focus attention to events happening in our world. The vision of the podcast is to place world events in t...
Racism from a Biblical Perspective
I remember as a kid growing up in the 70’s and watching TV. There were two TV shows in particular that would never be allowed to air in this day & age, All In The Family & The Jeffersons. Little did I know that watching these 70’s Sitco...
Being Your Best Self
I remember watching a commercial on TV back in 1981 from the Army and the main tag line was, "Be all that you can be..." Well in this episode I go into some detail on what the Bible tells us on how we can be our best selves! Be blessed!
Person, Purpose & Getting Things Done
This revamped introductory episode explains the purpose of the podcast & gives a brief description of me, the podcaster. A message the Lord gave me which I believe is for the Body of Christ in general... Getting Things Done. Be blessed!
Impacting a Nation
In this 6th episode I took a break from my series on Real Christianity. As led by the Spirit I share a message that I recently preached about a month ago but is not a live recording. I break down the state of our nation (applies to any nation f...

Have you ever hungered for more of God? Have you desired to know the mysteries contained in God's Word? What about your calling? Do you want to discover God's ministry calling for your life? How about this...Have you been struggling with charac...
The Gift of Tongues - Part 1
If there's one specific thing that brings division in the Body of Christ, it's the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues. Think about it for a minute. Why, within the church, the one single Body of Jesus Christ, do we have all of these denomina...
The Infilling of the Holy Spirit - Part 2
When a person receives Jesus as their personal Lord & Saviour, he or she receives a measure of faith to receive Holy Spirit which is a seal upon the believers heart guaranteeing their inheritance into the kingdom of heaven! However, this ex...
Real Christianity Part 2: The Infilling of the Holy Spirit - Part 1
Jesus promises abundant life to all who call on His Name (John 10:10)! Yet, in this modern age I do not see this promise manifested in the Body of Christ nor in the lives of those who identify as Christian. Arguably the biggest reason is becaus...
Part 1: What it Means to be a Christian
I have been doing podcasts sporadically over the last 2 yrs. I speak on subjects that Holy Spirit brings to my heart because only He knows the hearts of the listeners. This would be referred to what Scripture calls, "A word in season". This mor...
