In this podcast, Elders Randall & DeBorrah K. Ogans share biblically based insight, guidance, and advice on Life & Living, Marriage & Relationships, Family & Parenting, Faith & Belief, Church & Religion, Spiritual Health, and more. Weekly episodes encourage listeners to live life out loud, walking/living in the light, doing what the Lord requires of us in every area of life. What does the Lord require of us? To act justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God. Jesus said "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life". To walk in the light is to have a daily commitment to living out a righteous life. Blessed(happy) are those who walk in the light of His presence. His word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. For it is in Him that we live, and move, and have our being. This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son, cleanseth us from all sin. Always keep in mind, the transforming power of the Lord, is truth. Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and everything else will be added unto you. If you haven't already, make a commitment today, to start Walking In the Light. Subscribe to the Podcast and let us aid you in your walk with the Lord.
In this episode we want to pay tribute to Father’s Day, by looking at “Divine Fatherhood”, using Psalm 103 as our reference.
This Psalm emphasizes the importance of providing heartfelt adoration and fervent devotion to the Creator, highlighting the infinite mercy of God, and illustrates how He is a compassionate Father who provides healing, forgiveness, and spiritual renewal to those who trust Him. &nbs...
Today, we live in a spiritual war zone. Every morning is a fresh calibration of chaos, as we wake to reports of rampant "evil acts" and a government that seems to thrive on iniquity. The atmosphere is thick with a specific brand of warfare where "evildoers are running rampant, wreaking havoc throughout the land." The natural instinct is to react—to fret, to fume, or to descend into a state of paralysis.
However, na...
In our modern era of global uncertainty, the feeling of living on the precipice of catastrophe is an all-too-familiar weight. We live in a state of constant digital "wavering," where the latest headline can trigger a cascade of "fears" and insecurities.
Yet, this psychological instability is not a modern invention. Two millennia ago, the fledgling church in Thessalonica was grappling with a remarkably similar crisis—a c...
Step onto the Via Egnatia in the mid-first century, and you would feel the electric pulse of Thessalonica. As the capital of the Roman province of Macedonia, this was a city of sensory extremes. To your left, the tang of salt air drifts from a favorable, prominent seaport crowded with merchant vessels.
To your right, the staggering height of Mount Olympus—the Greek Pantheon—looms in keen sight across t...
Our daily lives are frequently besieged by "joy robbers." These modern stressors—the high-stakes anxiety of trying to get ahead, the daily friction of traffic jams, and the relentless pressure of overextended schedules—can leave us feeling immobilized.
Quite often, the simple challenge of just getting to work on time can become a battleground for our peace of mind. Many of us find ourselves weary, worrying, ...
The Second Epistle of Peter, focusing on the apostle’s urgent warnings against deceptive religious leaders and their manipulative tactics.
We stress that a deep personal knowledge of Christ and a steady "diet" of scripture are the primary defenses against spiritual stagnation and cult-like control.
We live in a time where "vague loyalty" has become a quiet epidemic. We find ourselves drifting, tethered only t...
In the book of Exodus in the twentieth chapter, we find the 10 Commandments.
"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you", is the fifth of the Ten Commandments.
This command requires respecting, obeying, and caring for parents, and is notably the first commandment accompanied by a specific promise of long life.
In this episode, we pay tribute to “M...
In our contemporary moment, the atmosphere is thick with what can only be described as a "scandalous" political climate. We move through a world where the environmental safety of our planet is compromised by a global pandemic, and where the "perilous days" are marked by the shadow of the Russia-Ukraine war, systemic racism, and the trauma of senseless mass shootings. For many, the feeling of being an outsider—a stranger...
The Book of James is the original manual for emotional intelligence. In an era defined by high-performance stress, digital volatility, and a relentless search for authentic purpose, we often look to the latest psychological trends to find stability.
We struggle with affective regulation, find ourselves paralyzed by "words we regret," and wonder why our modern search for the "good life" often feels hollow. Yet, some of t...
We are living in a strategic moment where the current culture necessitates a renewed, unshakeable focus on biblical foundations. This framework is not merely a suggestion; it is a tactical necessity to combat the spiritual warfare and cultural fragmentation ravaging our society. We must recognize that the shift from God-centered living to cultural conformity is the root of our current crisis.
The disruptions of this era are ca...
The purple passion fruit is a masterpiece of the natural world. We are drawn to it for its unique flavor and the "vine" that carries it.
The passion fruit is a vigorous climber, but its very strength requires careful management. To keep the vine within its bounds and ensure it remains "tasty" and productive, regular pruning is an absolute necessity. Furthermore, this plant flourishes only when the conditions of its surroundings are ...
Jesus Christ—His life, crucifixion, and eventual resurrection—stands as a cornerstone of global culture and the foundational pillar of the Christian faith. Easter is “Resurrection Sunday”.
For many, the details of "Resurrection Sunday" are so familiar that they risk becoming routine. We recognize the broad strokes of sacrifice and victory, yet the sheer historical and spiritual weight of the event...
Palm Sunday serves as the threshold of "Holy Week," a period that serves as a profound case study in radical humility and the volatile nature of the human heart.
To the casual observer, it is a parade. To the cultural historian, it is the commencement of a narrative that shifts violently from public triumph to state-sanctioned tragedy.
It is here we see the ultimate subversion of power: a King who does not demand ...
Have you ever tried to do something nice for someone, and you know you had genuinely nice, pure, unadulterated good intentions, and you are totally misunderstood?
They allowed their inner circle of advisers to convince them that you have a secret agenda, so they gather a bunch of others to come against you, and now the situation is spinning out of control.
Trust is often forged in the fires of being maligned...
In this episode we explore the suffering, praise, and prosperity of the Messiah, and the profound connection between King David’s emotional distress in Psalm 22, and the suffering of Jesus Christ on the cross.
There is a specific, heavy frequency to human suffering—a feeling of being completely "unreachable," even standing in a crowded room. This sense of isolation, often described as a deep, dark cavernous place, ...
The carnal mind is inherently at odds with divine principles, often functioning as a breeding ground for instability and dread. In our modern age, this "troubled mind" frequently feels besieged by the "thorns and thistles" of life—those sudden distractions and obstacles designed to pull us off the narrow path.
We feel surrounded, not just by circumstances, but by a pervasive sense of isolation.
However, Psalm 27 o...
From asteroid strikes to global plagues, our culture is obsessed with the mechanics of our own demise. But for those who treat the Book of Revelation as a mere horror script or a roadmap for disaster, in this episode, we continue to show how Revelation is a Valid Prophecy. Revelation—from the Greek Apokalypsis, meaning "unveiling"—is not designed to paralyze us with fear, but to offer "HOPE for NOW." By shifting o...
For many, the Book of Revelation is the "scary" finale of the Bible—a dense thicket of terrifying beasts, cataclysmic plagues, and cryptic warnings that seem more like a fever dream than a spiritual guide.
Many often avoid it, assuming its complexities are too disturbing or irrational for our modern sensibilities. It’s the book that makes many people uncomfortable.
Yet there is a profound irony in...
In our culture, marriage is often treated as a legal contract—an agreement between two people that can be torn up when the terms are no longer satisfying. But "Holy Matrimony" is a "Covenant". It is a sacred relationship designed and sanctioned by God, our Creator and Maker.
A Covenant is a sacred vow witnessed by God and made to God in the presence of witnesses... for Christians it is the most sacred solemn agreement th...
Are you on the brink of saying 'I Do'? Have you considered the solemnity of these words and the commitment they imply?
Ask yourselves:
Are We Ready for Marriage?
How Compatible Are We?
