JED BREAKS BREAD

Ep 115 | Mailbag #1

Today I answer listener questions: 

1) Why is fasting rarely discussed or practiced amongst Evangelical Christians? 

2) Can Satan and his demons influence our thought life? Can they read our minds? 

3) As a Christian, how should I response to Gay Pride Month?

Ep 114 | Transgenderism: One Of the Greatest Lies Satan Has Ever Told

What lies has Satan told? The question should be, "What lies has Satan NOT told?" According to Jesus, Satan is a liar and the father of all lies. 

Though Satan has lied in many ways throughout history, none have been more effective as promoting human destruction than the three lies that he has convinced the world of in the last 150 years or so. 

1. That we all evolved from one species to another by random chance

2. That a baby in the womb is just a clump of cells and the mother can decide what happens to the baby

3. That the very biology of the individual is irrelevant when it comes to gender identification. 

Today's episode will focus on lie #3, the lie of transgenderism. 

Ep 113 | ”NEFARIOUS” Movie Review

I don't normally do movie reviews, but the movie "Nefarious" was too good to NOT review!

This review explains the purpose of the movie and then answers whether the movie accomplished the purpose or not. Additionally, this review will provide theological insight as to the main premise of the movie and explains why every Christian should see it. 

If you'd like more information on the movie, check out the IMDB page here: Nefarious (2023) - IMDb. You can also find user and critic reviews of the movie on Rotten Tomatoes. 

Ep 112 | The ”He Gets Us” Campaign

How should Christians think about the "He Gets Us" campaign? Is this something that churches should partner with or participate in? At least one local church in my area is advertising with a "He Gets Us" banner - how should we think about this? 

This episode offers three major critiques of the "He Gets Us" campaign and a bonus critique if you make it to the end! Please practice discernment when considering whether to support or be involved with this or other similar movements. 

Ep 111 | What False Doctrines Should I Look Out For?

In conjunction with the recent sermon series that we've been preaching through 2 Peter at the Grace Brethren Chapel, I wanted to present some of the additional research I've done that will warn true believers about false doctrine. 

There are four main categories to be on guard against: 

1. Anyone promoting works-based salvation

2. The Word of Faith movement

3. The "God is Love, Not Judge-y" movement

4. The _________ Identity Christian

Ep 110 | Becoming (Godly) Wife Material

What characteristics and qualities should a young woman seek to develop as she prepares for marriage? And what qualities should a young man look to see in a woman? 

This episode will give 4 different areas for young women to consider as they pursue Christlikeness and a spouse. 

Ep 109 | Becoming (Godly) Husband Material

As a single man, what should you be doing to "attract" a spouse? Considering that February is the month of romance, this episode will provide three areas for young (or older!) men to grow in so that they can be the kind of godly candidate who is marriage-able. 

Ep. 108 | Sin is the Root of Human Woe

This episode explains the human condition known as sin and the effects of sin in everyday life. 

Ep. 107 | Bringing Resolution to Reality

As the calendar year changes, many people have the tradition of making resolutions. Unfortunately, a high percentage of people fail at their resolution and wind up discouraged and in the end, nothing changes in their life. 

This episode will provide three steps or considerations for helping you bring your resolutions to reality, so that you can grow in sanctification and Christ-likeness. 

Ep 106 | The Results Are In...

How should we interpret the results of the 2022 elections from a Christian perspective? 

In this episode, I describe two truths from Scripture that we can apply to this election cycle.
