Episode 196Series: On the Mission Field - 20In this installation of the Removing Barriers podcast, we head back to the mission field and talk to David Gates, missionary to Dearborn, MI. Dearborn is in southern Michigan and is a suburb of Detroit. It is famous as the hometown of Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company, as well as for its status as the city with the largest Muslim population in the country. It also has the largest mosque in the nation. With these stats, we may be tempted to engage through fleshly predispositions. David Gates, however, explains in this interview how Dearborn is no different from any other U.S. city, and how a love for Christ and for souls will help us override those predispositions and see the lost souls behind the mosques, the hijabs, or the calls to prayer. Who are the people of Dearborn and how can we best witness to them? Join us on this episode to hear of the work God is doing on this mission field!Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here:Spotify: https://cutt.ly/Ega8YeI Apple Podcast: https://cutt.ly/Vga2SVdEdifi: https://cutt.ly/Meec7nsvYouTube: https://cutt.ly/mga8A77Podnews: https://podnews.net/podcast/i4jxoSee all our platforms: https://removingbarriers.netContact us:Email us: https://removingbarriers.net/contactFinancially support the show: https://removingbarriers.net/donateAffiliates:Book Shop: https://bookshop.org/shop/removingbarriersChristian Books . com: https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/home?event=AFF&p=1236574See all our affiliates: https://removingbarriers.net/affiliatesNotes:Mission Board: https://www.mwbm.org/Website: https://gatesforarabs.com/
Episode 195What do you think about para-church ministries? This is one of those subjects where if you ask a hundred Christians, you may get a hundred different answers. In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast we talk with recurring guest Shawn Henly about the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF), a worldwide college campus organization that claims it seeks to establish and advance witnessing opportunities of students and faculty. If that sounds a bit like Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ), you would be right. But what many of us do not realize is that these organizations, though established with good intentions, are completely infiltrated with unbiblical ideologies like feminism, woke-ism, and racism. We must expose these things to encourage reform and repentance. Shawn Henly of Cross Crusaders has been actively trying to warn and inform Christians of IVCF's departure from the scriptures for a long time now, and he joins us to peel back the rot underneath the veneer of christian evangelism. Don't miss this conversation--it will be a wake-up call for us to be vigilant against the works of darkness and take nothing for granted.Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here:Spotify: https://cutt.ly/Ega8YeI Apple Podcast: https://cutt.ly/Vga2SVdEdifi: https://cutt.ly/Meec7nsvYouTube: https://cutt.ly/mga8A77Podnews: https://podnews.net/podcast/i4jxoSee all our platforms: https://removingbarriers.netContact us:Email us: https://removingbarriers.net/contactFinancially support the show: https://removingbarriers.net/donateAffiliates:Book Shop: https://bookshop.org/shop/removingbarriersChristian Books . com: https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/home?event=AFF&p=1236574See all our affiliates: https://removingbarriers.net/affiliatesNotes:InterVarsity: https://intervarsity.org/Cross Crusaders: https://www.crosscrusaders.com/
Episode 194In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we are delighted to have Tricia as a guest to discuss homeschooling! Tricia is a successful homeschool veteran, having educated her own children and now providing help and encouragement to others. Homeschooling participation had been steadily increasing since the 1980s, but 2020 caused an explosive increase that intensified interest and criticism. The perfect storm of fear, government control, and social unrest shut the world down, and the ideologies infecting the school system were laid bare. Confidence was at an all-time low and suddenly, homeschooling was not just for fundies, zealots, hippies, and conspiracy theorists. Parents began to see it for what it was all along: a reasonable course of action for the education of their children. But is homeschooling the best option? Should we be encouraging parents to educate their children when most of them are not trained educators? What about socialization and extracurricular activities? Tricia has faced the skepticism and criticism that comes with the decision to homeschool, and she helps us peel back the curtain to see it through a lens of wonder and possibility, answering the objections and championing the merits.

Episode 193Series: What Do You Believe – 6There is no shortage of religions and cults that promise salvation, joy, peace, or happiness. Followers can number in the billions as is the case with Islam, or it could be millions, as is the case with the Branhamists. Branhamism is the curious theology and collection of doctrines espoused by William M. Branham, a self-proclaimed prophet and faith healer. On today's episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we sit down with recurring guest Leopold to discuss all the tenets of this cult: its history, its leader, and its followers (many of whom persist today despite the evidence). Leopold runs the ministry Edimof, dedicated to teaching biblical truth and exposing false religions. Let us evaluate Branhamism by the Word of God, prayerfully trusting the Lord to remove all the barriers this cult creates to keep people from having a clear view of the cross.Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here: Spotify: https://cutt.ly/Ega8YeI Apple Podcast: https://cutt.ly/Vga2SVd Edifi: https://cutt.ly/Meec7nsv YouTube: https://cutt.ly/mga8A77 Podnews: https://podnews.net/podcast/i4jxoSee all our platforms: https://removingbarriers.netContact us: Email us: https://removingbarriers.net/contact Financially support the show: https://removingbarriers.net/donateAffiliates: Book Shop: https://bookshop.org/shop/removingbarriers Answers in Genesis Bookstore: https://shrsl.com/2tu8i Comp and Save: https://shrsl.com/2tu8i BulbHead: https://shrsl.com/4ft37 Share a Sale: https://shrsl.com/2jz4fSee all our affiliates: https://removingbarriers.net/affiliatesNotes: Edimof: https://edimof.org/ Edimof Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@espritdediscernement3554
Episode 192Series: On the Mission Field - 19The Fahringer family is on their way to Chile! In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, Geoffrey Fahringer takes precious time out of his day to tell us more about the country of Chile, the spiritual needs there, and his family's desire to minister to the people there. Chile is a long, narrow, beautiful strip of land in South America spanning from the base of Peru all the way down to the tip of the continent, and jumping the ocean to claim certain parts of Antartica. The people groups are diverse, but the need is the same: a saving faith and growing relationship with the Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ. Geoffrey Fahringer would have never in a million years seen himself as a missionary because he was far along the path of military service and law enforcement. But after the Lord saved him, it became increasingly clear that God had plans for his family in that beautiful country. Geoffrey and his family surrendered, and today we get to hear all about what God has been doing to bring a gospel witness to the people there.

Episode 191Sydney Wilson was a 33-year old woman who was killed by a police officer during a requested mental health wellness check after she attacked the officer with a knife. In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we discuss the tragic incident involving Sydney's death, the actions taken by Officer Peter Liu, whether police-involved mental health checks are conducted in such a way that promotes help for the afflicted and safety for the responders, whether Officer Liu had any other options, and whether this was a case of police brutality, insensitivity, or incompetence. No matter where you may fall on the issue, Sydney Wilson is still a soul for whom Christ died. Join us as we navigate through this sensitive topic, seeking to understand the complexities involved while promoting a clear view of the cross.Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here:Spotify:https://cutt.ly/Ega8YeIApple Podcast:https://cutt.ly/Vga2SVdEdifi: https://cutt.ly/Meec7nsvYouTube:https://cutt.ly/mga8A77Podnews:https://podnews.net/podcast/i4jxoSee all our platforms:https://removingbarriers.netContact us:Leave us a voice message:https://anchor.fm/removingbarriers/messageEmail us:https://removingbarriers.net/contactFinancially support the show:https://removingbarriers.net/donateAffiliates:Book Shop:https://bookshop.org/shop/removingbarriersAnswers in Genesis Bookstore:https://shrsl.com/2tu8iComp and Save:https://shrsl.com/2tu8iBulbHead:https://shrsl.com/4ft37Share a Sale:https://shrsl.com/2jz4fSee all our affiliates:https://removingbarriers.net/affiliatesNotes:Fairfax Police release video of Reston woman:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JggL4jJeFfg
Episode 190 Bonkers - 11 In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we continue our series titled "This World Has Gone Bonkers," where we grab headlines from all over that highlight the madness in our world. We will discuss the power the American president apparently has to just declare an amendment ratified and the law of the land, even when it isn't so. If you didn't realize he had that power, you're in good company, because we sure didn't realize it, either! We also discuss the hottest (no pun intended) dance gone viral as Los Angeles burns to the ground: the Newsom Shimmy! The tone-deaf governor debuted the moves for local news outlets while gleefully announcing ongoing talks with speculators on how to divvy up the charred remains of LA. If that isn't bonkers enough, we also discuss a Satanic temple opening a religious abortion clinic, as well as some doctors who withheld study findings on transgender mental health because the results did not support their activism.

Episode 189 Series: What Do You Believe – 5 Hinduism is the world's third largest religion, surpassed only by Islam and Christianity. Having originated in the Indian subcontinent over 2,500 years ago, Hinduism is practiced by more than one billion people worldwide, 96% percent of which live in India. Hinduism came under the neon lights of American public discourse and scrutiny with Vivek Ramaswamy's candidacy for president in the 2024 election (see episode 142). What is Hinduism, and what do Hindus believe? Is it compatible with Christianity or does it stand in stark contrast? On this episode of the Removing Barrier podcast, we sit down with Jacob to answer these questions and come to a better understanding of that faith. Jacob is a stalwart Christian and, having been born and raised in India, has a more thorough understanding of Hinduism and how it differs from Christianity. He has graciously shared his time and knowledge with us, and we hope that this episode will help remove any barriers to Christ posed by Hinduism.

Episode 188 On this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we sit down in the studio with Mike P. from episode 50 to discuss Greek! The New Testament was in Greek, so it stands to reason that studying Greek guarantees a deeper and more thorough understanding of what the Bible says. Make no mistake, the Bible can be understood in the English it has been translated into, but studying Greek will deepen our understanding of the Bible and its profound importance and benefit cannot be overstated. Mike has been (and is still on) a personal journey in learning Greek and discovering how it unlocks a more solid grasp of God's word. He shares the meaning of the differences between Classical and Koine Greek, how this can enrich our comprehension of the Scriptures, and how it can help us bless and encourage others to embark on their own journey to more fully engage with this fundamental text. Don't let the prospect of learning a little Greek frighten you--you will be amazed discovering just how much the scriptures will open up.

Episode 187 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6, John 1:14, John 1:12-13) Our deepest desire here at the Removing Barriers Podcast is to remove those barriers that keep us from having a clear view of the cross. The enemy is hard at work with diversions, distractions, lies, and traps to keep us from the truth. So today, let us go back to the beginning, back to the first Christmas in Bethlehem, where the God of the universe abased Himself to become a baby in a manger. We have two special little guests in this episode to help us read the historical account of Jesus' birth, so join us as we worship the King and give thanks for His salvation. Merry Christmas to you, and may God grant you a blessed 2025.

Episode 186 "Nobody does guns like the U.S. does guns." -Aristotle, probably. We don't need a bad meme to know that of all the nations on earth, the United States is the only one with the right to keep and bear arms enshrined in the law of the land with absolutely no restrictions. There are more guns than people in the U.S., and the number of gun owners in any other nation pales in comparison. But the United States is also in significant moral decline, and the absolute tragedy of preventable gun violence is a harrowing reality that demands attention. What that attention should be, however, is hotly contested with no real resolution in sight. Though the problem is complex and multi-faceted, one area seems to be gaining steam, namely, the prosecution of parents for gun violence committed by their children. Whether for a school shooting or a single person attack, parents have been indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced for a crime they did not commit. Is this right? Should parents be responsible for major crimes their children commit? In what ways are parents responsible for the safety of their children and others when it comes to firearms? On this episode of the Removing Barriers, we sit down with gun expert and enthusiast Michael Jordan (of no relation to THEE Michael Jordan) to discuss the these questions, as well as role and impact society has in this matter.

Episode 185 It is no surprise that the institution of marriage is under attack in the West. This is not new, and for many decades now, the biblical tenets of marriage have been questioned, disregarded, eroded, and in some cases, destroyed or forgotten. Divorce lawyers, having made a living off the dissolution of marriage, have now taken to social media to add to the attack, under the guise of "real talk" or helping clients with "reality." How did we get here? What does the Bible say about marriage and how should we regard it? Talk about it? Consider it? Enter it? Maintain it? Is there ever a scenario in which we should end it? In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, recurring guest Pastor Todd takes the time to explain what biblical marriage is and what God says about it. Is it egalitarian or complementarian? Can it be whatever we want it to be, or has God declared the nature of it in His Word? Furthermore, is that word still applicable in 2024? Join us as we both remember and discover the truth of this foundational institution, and what we can do today to uphold it.

Episode 184 In this compelling episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, MCG and Jay sit down with special guest Missionary Scott to discuss the topic of polygamy in light of scripture, exploring whether it's a sin or a matter of personal liberty. From biblical narratives to modern-day implications, they delve into the historical context and scriptural arguments against polygamy, while also addressing cultural practices around the world. Scott shares insights from his mission field experiences, discussing the societal impacts of polygamy and the challenges faced by those in polygamous relationships. This episode is a thought-provoking exploration of faith, culture, and the pursuit of a Christ-centered life.

Episode 183 The King James Bible, first published in 1611, has long been revered for its majestic prose and perceived accuracy. But what makes it stand out in our modern world of shifting norms and the new bible translations to suit them? In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we interview recurring guest Shawn Henly of Cross Crusaders about the KJV Bible and why many Christians choose it to the exclusion of all other Bible versions. Shawn Henly is a staunch advocate for the KJV, that it is God's perfectly preserved word for English-speaking people. He argues that while translations are not inspired, the KJV's source manuscripts (the Textus Receptus and the Masoretic Text) are the most faithful representations of the original biblical texts. Discover the history, myths, and controversies surrounding the KJV, and why some believe it to be the ultimate English translation. You won't want to miss this episode!

Episode 182 After a hotly contested and failed bid for president, incessant indictments and trials of a suspiciously political nature, fanatical opposition from all the established American institutions, and multiple assassination attempts (one of which would have surely been fatal had a miracle not changed circumstances at the last split second), Donald Trump became president elect in the fall of 2024. How could this have happened? In the aftermath, his opposition melted into despair and began blame-shifting, but one thing is undeniable: Trump won considerable support from demographics that previously wouldn't give hime the time of day. What changed? On this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, recurring guest Sam joins us as we compare and contrast the last three presidential election results and try to understand where Trump performed well compared to Harris and how that allowed the Republican party to win everything: the White House, the Senate, the House, and the popular vote to boot. In what is sure to be remembered as the one of the best political comeback stories ever, America made her choice crystal clear, and we want to examine how it all went down.

Episode 181 As of the recording of this podcast, Israel is still engaged in a multi-front war following the surprise terrorist attacks of October 7th, 2023. What is actually happening in that war? How is it affecting the United States, and should we be in any way involved? What should Christians be doing, if anything at all? In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we sit down again with the head of Jewish End-Time Ministries Dr. Henry Benach.

Episode 180 The United States is only a few days away from what is already one of the most consequential and riveting presidential elections in recent history. On November 5th, the American people will vote to make their will known. While some Christians do not participate in the democratic process, there are many who will. How should the Christian consider Trump in this election, with his legal woes, polarizing reputation, and vitriolic opposition? Should it matter to Christians that he is a convicted felon?

Episode 179 Bonkers - 10 What does CNN fact-checking, D.C.'s COVID eviction protection, a murderous doctor, Al Pacino, and demon pronouns all have in common? They all demonstrate that our world is absolutely bonkers! In this continuation of the series, we discuss CNN's attempted about-face, the questionable power of doctors over their patients, a transgender man grieving the realization that he cannot become pregnant, Al Pacino's near-death experience, a TikToker's demon pronouns, and Washington D.C. realizing they can't keep eviction protections in place 5 years after the fact. We must never forget that the spiritual underpinning of the craziness in our world is the presence, power, and corrupting effect of sin. This is spiritual warfare, and we must all be engaged in the battle.

Episode 178 Bonkers - 9 Today's episode of the Removing Barriers podcast is another installation in the Bonkers series. On the examining table today: Hezbollah's pagers, Steve Lawson's fall, creepy school photographers, California's SB1414 law, BLM's hypocrisy, and a person divorcing---themselves?!?! What in the world is going on? Join us on this episode as we hold up these news stories up to the lens of scripture, and be encouraged, dear Christian, that God is still on the throne and has already defeated sin. We look forward to the day that He delivers us from the presence of sin because these stories are stark reminders of its deadliness and just how bonkers our world really is.

Episode 177 Perhaps most people paying close objective attention to fatal police interactions with black citizens would roll their eyes whenever Benjamin Crump gets involved, but today we will discuss two such incidents where the officers involved may actually be wrong and Crump's involvement, while not ideal, is understandable. In May and July of 2024 respectively, Roger Fortson and Sonya Massey were killed in their interactions with the police. What were the circumstances that led to their deaths? Were the killings justified? In today's episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we will discuss these questions and more, never forgetting that Fortson and Massey were both souls for which Christ died.
