There is much confusion and misinformation in the body of Christ today regarding what is commonly known as the "baptism of the Holy Spirit." Entire doctrines and churches have been launched based off of this teaching. But what does the Bible actually say about this "baptism?" What exactly is it? When does it occur? Who gets it? And what does it do for us, spiritually and practically? Dr. Kinley answers these and more questions in this week's program.

How has Jesus already defeated sin for you? And how can you live closer to that reality in the here and now? Dr. Kinley explains in this week's program.

The Bible teaches that we have an amazing inheritance waiting for us in Christ. In fact, we share in Jesus' inheritance. And while we wait for the full realization of what it means to be an heir, we can celebrate our freedom from the domain of darkness and fully participate in the present rule of Christ and the freedoms He provides.

The Bible says you are complete in Christ. And that means, in part, that you are sealed by the Holy Spirit and delivered from Satan's domain of darkness. From Colossians 2:10 and other Scriptures, Dr. Jeff helps us understand the amazing security and freedom we now have in Jesus.

Have you ever wondered if you are "enough?" If you are okay just the way you are? Better yet, does the Bible ever address this issue?? Does God ever say you're "enough," and if so, when and why would He say such a thing? Find out the answers from Dr. Kinley in this week's program.

And how do we distinguish between one's works being an evidence of our salvation vs trusting in them as a part of our salvation. Jeff clarifies in this week's podcast message.

What part does spiritual fruit play in the authentication of a person's salvation? Or, put another way, how do our works relate the genuineness of our salvation?

Jeff begins breaking down these complex questions in this week's podcast.

Have you ever wondered if God's will is something you can discover? Paul prayed that the Colossians would be "filled with the knowledge of His will." So, we must be able to know it if that's what Paul was praying. But how? How can we confidently discern what God wants and has planned for us? Jeff unpacks this mystery in this week's episode.

Paul was a first-century Christian "celebrity." And yet, that's not how he viewed himself at all. Instead, he saw himself and other ministers, missionaries as "bond-servants."

Jeff continues to examine the scriptural and theological implications of listening to those "night visions," and precisely how this leads us away from truth and into error.

"Just have faith." We hear that a lot in the Christian world, but what does it actually mean? How do we do it? What is it that enables us to grow in the exercise of our faith on a daily basis? And what does this "shield of faith" refer to? How are we supposed to use it? Jeff explains in today's episode.

In battle, it was critical that a Roman soldier have sure footing to give him stability and confidence, both in travel as well as in hand-to-hand combat.
