Lost Souls, Seeking Muslims, and Responding to Tragedy! - Episode #13

Summary of the episode: In this episode of The E.A.R. Podcast, host Brandon Queen sits down with Timothy Harris to explore chapters 36-38 of Loving Your Muslim Neighbor. These chapters dive deep into the heart of Christian outreach to the Muslim community, highlighting the importance of genuine love and care for lost souls, understanding secret Muslim seekers, and responding to terrorist attacks with grace and compassion.

The first segment discusses how being overly forceful in evangelism can push people away. Timothy emphasizes the importance of meeting people with grace and compassion, just as Jesus did with the woman caught in adultery. In the second segment, they dive into how Christians can reflect Christ’s love through respect and humility and explore the complexities of addressing difficult political topics like the Israeli/Palestinian conflict with compassion. Lastly, the episode tackles the challenge of staying bold in sharing the gospel, with Timothy urging Christians to resist the temptation to remain silent about their faith out of fear of offending others.

This episode provides a thought-provoking and compassionate look at evangelism. It encourages listeners to approach Muslim outreach with deep love, biblical truth, and grace in all circumstances.

Key Takeaways:

· Caring for the Lost: Drawing from the chapter "You Are Sad Over a Lost Game Than a Lost Soul!" Brandon and Timothy reflect on the biblical call to grieve for those who don’t know Jesus. They discuss passages like Luke 19:41 and Romans 9:1-3, emphasizing how Jesus’ sorrow over Jerusalem reflects God’s heart for the lost today.

· Many Muslims Are Secretly Seeking: Timothy sheds light on the hidden reality of Muslim seekers who are curious about Christianity but hesitant to express it publicly. The conversation centers around practical ways Christians can offer a safe space for these seekers and how Jesus' encounter with Nicodemus (John 3:1-2) can guide us in these delicate situations.

· Responding to Terrorist Attacks: In a world shaken by violence, the chapter "When a Terrorist Attack Happens, How Do You Respond to the News?" urges Christians to embody love even in the face of terror. Brandon and Timothy challenge listeners to follow Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5:44-45, praying for enemies and loving our Muslim neighbors even when tensions are high.

Keeping Your Faith: Amid Hatred and Division Dec 24, 2021

Synopsis: This has been a strange year for the American people. From COVID to unnecessary racial wars. We even have liberal people trying to tell black people how they should think and live.

When black people put down black conservatives, it does not help us a people and it weakens us as unit. This seems to be what the government wants from us.

If It Had Not Been For the Lord...Psalm 124 Aug 07, 2020

First Presbyterian Church Online (August 2, 2020)
This sermon by Rev. Bill Crawford simply reminds us that the Lord for us, He love is and He died for us! I hope this message powers you through this week and that you can feel the Lord's presence.
Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

124 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side—
let Israel now say—
2 if it had not been the Lord who was on our side
when people rose up against us,
3 then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their anger was kindled against us;
4 then the flood would have swept us away,
the torrent would have gone over us;
5 then over us would have gone
the raging waters.

6 Blessed be the Lord,
who has not given us
as prey to their teeth!
7 We have escaped like a bird
from the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped!

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

Love not Hate, and the Meaning of Words Jul 31, 2020

This episode is a discussion on which lives matter and what does it mean to the Christian body of believers. Although this episode is opinionated beliefs, it still follows the Christian teachings based on biblical ideology and principals that have worked or centuries.
#blacklivesmatter can be a group that just as guilty as perpetuating just at the KKK. We must learn to live amongst one another without using #adjectives to describe who or what we look like on the outside. As a reminder, my pastor once said "The man on the cross is better than the person in the mirror, always." When we learn to sit at the table with Judas, we will learn the love of Jesus Christ.
This country has its faults, two black eyes and a busted lip, but the healing begins when we all learn to love one another, and forgive their sins. We are all sinners and we all fall short of God's glory and we are all in need of a savior.
To my Christian brothers and sisters of a darker hue, please receive this message/discussion as way to orient you to a Christian thinking. I personally believe that BLM does not have the interest of all BLACK people at the front of their agenda. Don't you forget that Satan and hide behind an organization that appears to be good, however, it is pure evil manifested.
Luke Negron and I met on TicTok. Together the Pennsylvanian and Louisianan come up with this discussion as two different people, of two different ethos and of two different cultures. The one thing they have in common is the Love of Jesus Christ. Thats right, they are both Christians.

Psalm 123 with Rev Bill Crawford Jul 29, 2020

This sermon touches on what Psalm 123 means to the Christian and how it is relevant in your lives today. Pastor Bill Crawford reminds us that "the justice of God has been served by his Son" Jesus Christ. We often get caught up in what injustices are committed and not so much on the justice that is served. Pastor Bill Crawford reminds us that "Jesus is the radiance of the Glory of God" and hour radiance is embedded in Christ Jesus.
We have to remember that "the man on the cross is better than the man in the mirror, always." I pray this sermon finds you well and helps you understand God.

Pilgrim’s Progress

Topical Memory System
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did eer such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
His dying crimson, like a robe,
Spreads oer His body on the tree;
Then I am dead to all the globe,
And all the globe is dead to me.
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Dedication and Introduction - S5-E1 (Unknown - Book Review) Dec 20, 2019

Season 5 - Episode 1: Dedication and Introduction
Synopsis: Is it ok to be unknown so that Christ can be known? Yes, of course it is! The E.A.R. Podcast presents to you a brand new season! Season 5 entitled, “Unknown” with Rev. Dr. Matthew Everhard. This podcast series is being made for the ordinary Christians who can have extraordinary influence. We often seek the fame of notoriety and being known by the masses. The goal is for Christ to be known to as many people and understanding that we are the tools God uses through His word to redeem souls for His glory alone. There is an underlying issue with that we all can admit that we can be what Matthew calls “humble bragging” and we can often miss the opportunity to really share the gospel with lost people.

the anguish of the grave came over me;
I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
Then I called on the name of the Lord:
“Lord, save me!”

Psalm 116:3-4
Call out to God for help!

Season 1 Episode 13: How Can I Pray for Non-Christians? S1 Ep13 (Bonus)

Introduction to Episode:During today's episode, we take our conversation back to season one prayer. During this dialogue, we talk about how one can pray for non-Christian friends and family. We know that it is getting harder to raise a family in world that rejects Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

And we certainly don't want to pray this. In fact, what we need to understand is that pray for our non-Christian friends, is one of the primary ways that God has given us love our knowledge to show them that love and to help them see that God loves them as well.

The Beauty of the Local Church through Diversity with Tim Russell S2 Ep14 (Part 2) Aug 16, 2019

Season 2 Episode 14 - The Beauty of the Local Church through Diversity with Tim Russell (Part 2)
Introduction: In this final episode of the Beauty of the Local Church, we continue our discussion of diversity in the local church with Tim Russell, and how molded Revelation 7:9 is molded into Christ Church. During this episode, we ask the hard question that if we say we're not racist, then why do our churches still look segregated on Sundays? This has really been a discussion about unity and Christ, and I think will be helpful food for thought. Not that everybody would agree with all the points we made, but essentially, it gives us some ability to have a civil and yet a Christian candid discussion about unity in the body of Christ.
Co Hosts: Tim Russell is an ordained minister in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Tim has served in a variety of leadership roles in the education realm. He has lead the Westminster Academy to a successful reaccreditation through Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS). Tim is the Pastor to Middle Adults at Second Presbyterian Church where he and his wife, Kathe both attend. Tim obtained his bachelors degree from Geneva College in English/Education 1979 and a Masters of Divinity from Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary in 1983. Tim's newest leadership role is serving on the Revelation 7:9 Task Force with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church.

The Beauty of the Local Church through Diversity with Soon Pak & Rufus Smith S2 Ep13 (Part 1) Aug 09, 2019

Season 2 Episode 13 - The Beauty of the Local Church through Diversity with Soon Pak & Rufus Smith (Part 1)
Introduction:During today's episode, we talk about key factors of diversity in the local church, and how Revelation 7:9 is molded into Christ's Church. We have used the term throughout the episode of diversity to point to the more biblical word would be unity. This has really been a discussion about unity and Christ, and I think will be helpful food for thought. Not that everybody would agree with all the points we made, but essentially, it gives us some ability to have a civil and yet a Christian candid discussion about unity in the body of Christ. So I think this dialogue on this podcast will give a format for discussing in the light of unity in John 17.

Co Hosts: Rev. Rufus Smith, IV is the Senior Pastor of Hope Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) in Memphis, Tennessee, a mega Presbyterian congregation. Over the past 8 years, Hope EPC has transitioned from a pre-dominantly Caucasian to a multi-ethnic church in the deep south, with 30% of members being people of color. In 2016, he Founded the Memphis Christian Pastor’s Network (MCPN) an ethnically & denominationally diverse clergy-only network. MCPN “bridges the trust-gap” between pastors via candid conversation, supplication, and social interaction—outside of church walls. Cultivating greater trust enables this consortium of 57 pastors to strategically collaborate and leverage their influence to close the “economic disparity gap” in our beloved city.
Rev. Soon Pak is the Pastor of Discipleship at Ward Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Northville, MI, a suburb of Detroit. He attended Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando for his Masters in Divinity and is currently pursuing a Doctorate of Ministry in Adaptive Leadership at Fuller Theological Seminary.

Season Two - The Beauty of the Local Church Series May 13, 2019

The Beauty of the Local Church Series - Season Two

“To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:21)

In volume three of the Westminster Society Journal, our contributors consider the important role of the local church in the Kingdom of God. Viewed dismissively as totally irrelevant by some and simply unnecessary by others, our authors argue precisely in the opposite direction: despite many critiques, the local church is beautiful, necessary, and deeply meaningful. She is after all, the Bride of Christ. Not only is the local church indispensable in the lives of ordinary believers, but it is the very means through which the Gospel of Jesus Christ is carried to our broken and hurting world.

Working from a robustly biblical and theological perspective, each of these essays argues for a soundly biblical, and theologically moored conception of the local church. Contributors for this volume include local pastors, church elders, New and Old Testament scholars, and seminary professors.

The Westminster Society exists as a networking group to promote fellowship and unity amidst Reformed churches, and to foster biblical scholarship and confessional churchmanship among believers and church leaders.

I Pray, But I Really Don't Like to Pray - S1 Ep10 Apr 19, 2019

Season 1 Episode 10 - I Pray, But I Really Don't Like to Pray
Introduction to Episode: During this episode, we look at how Christians pray but don't like to pray. We as Christians let our feelings get int the way and we become lazy and complacent in our prayer life with the Father. Throughout the episode, we talk about personal moments when the flesh got in the way of spending time with the father. We are reminded that we can tell the Father how we feel even to the point of not wanting to pray.
Co-Host: Originally from Welsh, LA, Rev. Bo Kyle is an Assistant Pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Meridian Mississippi. Before Bo’s arrival at FPC in August 2015 he served for seven years as the Director of Middle School Ministries at the Chesterfield Presbyterian Church in St. Louis, MO. Initially, Bo came to St. Louis to attend Covenant Theological Seminary, where he studied from 2007-2010, completing his Master of Divinity Degree. Bo is married to Lindsay with two beautiful daughters, Cora and Carolyn. Bo loves sports and fishing. Bo Kyle is an ordained minster in the EPC.
Episode Summary: As we read scripture, we see Jesus on His knees before the Father in the garden of Gethsemane begging Him to take the cup from Him. Jesus knew that He had to be that sacrificial lamb but He prayed anyway as He was one with the Father. Jesus teaches us that no matter how we feel, we should still pray and talk to the Father. Bo shares is personal testimony of how he prays but has fallen away at times from prayer. Hint the title of the episode. Bo reminds us that when we go to the Father in prayer, we are not our adolescent selves stumbling upon words to say to our crush. We can boldly go to the Father through the Son with the Holy Spirit interceding for us. Yes, we can get weak, but the Holy Spirit is our comforter.

Matthew 6:9
Romans 8:26

Notable Quotes: "But there is one simple thing that we forget, all of God's wrath was poured out on that one single man, the Son of God, He bared all the sins of the world on His shoulders. He bare all the sins of the world in His beating, in his mocking, in being spit on, kicked, drugged and nailed to the cross. My sin, your sin, our sin him there." - Brandon Queen | "If we confess, that's a moment of prayer. And I think one of the most important parts of prayer is confession." - Rev. Bo Kyle

Motivation Monday #4 - New Beginnings Apr 15, 2019

Motivation Monday #4 - New Beginnings

New beginnings are great and exiting. But what happens when that excitement dies down? We become accustomed to the norm or our daily task become mundane and repetitive. What about God's unmerited Grace He freely gives? What about His mercies? Are they not new every morning? As believers, we can not forget that God's mercies are new every morning. That should be motivation to carry us through for weeks on out!

"New beginnings come from above. God the Father His due praise for He blesses us with new mercies daily." - Brandon Queen

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” (Lamentations 3:22-24)

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland” (Isaiah 43:18-19)

“He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him” (Psalm 40:3)

“See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind” (Isaiah 65:17)

To Whom Should I Pray and Why? S1 Ep9 Apr 12, 2019

Season 1 Episode 9 - To Whom Should I Pray and Why?
Introduction to Episode:During this episode, a crucial question is discussed, 'to whom should I pray and why?' This question raises a lot of questions and controversy among Christianity or people of different faiths. This episode is not to disrespect other denominations or make anyone feel unwanted. This episode is designed to teach and reproved in love. We have to remember that the name of the Father is hallowed and should be set apart. We ara a people redeemed but the blood of Jesus Christ that was given by the Father and carried out through the Holy Spirt. When we pray, it is the Father that gets first recognition, and in the name of the son, Jesus Christ and sustained by the Holy Spirit.

Co-Host:Gordon Duncan is an award-winning educator, salesman, teacher, manager, and writer. He has taught in the public school system, lobbied for school's accreditation, managed eye clinics, led sales' teams, and also publishes books on theology, church, and culture.

Learn more at www.evidentgrace.com.
Episode Summary:As we turn to scripture, Jesus teaches us to pray to the Father in Matt. 6:9. In the garden before Christ was betrayed, He prays directly to the Father. While on the cross Jesus prayed a prayer asking his accusers and murders to be forgiven. The Westminster Shorter Catechism #101 ask us 'For what do we pray in the first request?' Answer: In the first request (hallowed by your name) we pray that God will enable us and other to GLORIFY HIM in everything he uses to make himself known...

When and Where Should We Pray? S1 Ep8 Apr 05, 2019

Season 1 - Episode 8 - Where and When Should We Pray?
Introduction to Episode:
In preparation for today's topic, I read an article that our episode is based from. The article was written by Nathan Bingham and his opening sentence of the article he points out that "good communication" is one of the key elements of a fruitful marriage. I find a lot of relationships do not posses good communication. Nathan goes on to say that we are relational beings made in the image of God (Image Dei). We must remember that our prayer is our conversation with God as John Calvin once said. The when and where we pray should reflect a relationship with the Father and not a boastful event. When we pray we are to 1 Thessalonians 5:17.

Co-Host: Daniel Rose is the husband to Amy and father of Ethan and Libby. Daniel is the lead pastor with the Antioch Movement and part-time teaching pastor at Cornerstone Evangelical Presbyterian Church. In Daniel's words, the Antioch Movement focuses on "sending the sent." Daniel likes his coffee, beer, whiskey, film, music, fiction, and jogging. Daniel is a graduate of Central Michigan University with a B.S. in Psychology and a Minor in Religion. Daniel holds a Masters of Divinity from Michigan Theological Seminary. Daniel is an ordained Teaching Elder (pastor) within the Evangelical Presbyterian Church.

Podcast Episode Summary:
As we continue on our Journey learning about prayer and its importance, we must keep in mind that we relational beings and the Father wants to have conversation with us and he wants us to depend on and trust Him. In order to have "good communication" with the Father then we must pray without ceasing.

1 Thess. 5:17
Pray in public
Communication with your spouse
Praise God for the things He has blessed us with.
What is God's will for my life

Notable Quotes: "Because of our outward and continuous sin, we are dispicable to God, but he still loves and still sent his son to us as that sacrifical lamb for us." - Brandon Queen " "Getting on our knees is our response when coming in the presence of the Father." - Daniel Rose

During this episode, we have a casual conversion on prayer and philosophy. We attempt to bridge philosophy and prayer while exploring the the Philosophy of prayer through discussion. We reference Immanuel Kant, Bertrand Russell, and a Jewish Rabbi Dovid Gotthlieb. We talk about the atheist and agnostic view of prayer and philosophy.

Britton will began as an adjunct instructor at Baton Rouge Community College in the fall of 2019 teaching philosophy.
Podcast Episode Summary:
As we discuss philosophy and prayer, we look at statements made by people who spoke on prayer and we give our take on the two topics. We explore one question, does prayer have a point? We slightly go off script if you will, but we grasp the concept of prayer and philosophy.

Contrast of Science & Religion
Philosophy has both Religion and Science Incorporated within
Prayer & Meditation
Atheist

Notable Quotes: "Meditation removes all unconsciousness and you focus on your thoughts " -Britton Frost"I hate the American Dream, for the American Dream is boastful and sinful but a life of prayer is a way of life and acknowledgment to a creator God" - Brandon Queen

Introduction to Episode:
During this episode, we study prayer and the concept of what and who prayer changes. We explore the question, can we change the will or mind of God? As we explain the answer, another question pops up, why pray? Humans are often never satisfied with the answers to our prayers and we can be extremely vocal about the answer. Throughout our conversation, we are given three reasons on why we should pray and what prayer does to us as a people. Rev. Shane Folks give us his meaning to the word 'prayer' stating it is a two way connection. Because we are a child of the Father, we can go directly to him in prayer. We learn that our prayer does not bother God yet he turns his ear to us and listens.
Co-host: Pastor Shane Folks grew up in Sallisaw, Oklahoma where he attended (HS) and Immanuel Baptist Church. Pastor Folks attended and graduated from the University of Oklahoma and shortly after answered God's calling on his life. Pastor Folks moved to Louisiana where he attended the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary where he obtained his Masters of Divinity. Pastor Folks served several churches in Thibodaux and the surrounding areas. It turns out that what God had in store for Pastor Shane was a wonderful wife, Hannah. They were married in August of 2016 and have three "fur babies" -- Gus, Louise, and Calvin. Pastor Folks is not the pastor or Eastside Baptist Church in Sallisaw, Oklahoma. Fun Fact: Pastor Folks also has a masters in Muslim Studies from Columbia Int'l University and is currently seeking his PhD.
Podcast Episode Summary:

We forget to pray, because we are sinful and we do not want someone or something telling us we are wrong. We want to be in control and we often "replace" God with our sin stained minds and we mess everything up. So then, we blame God. Yet, we forgot to pray.
In this episode, we talked about Our Sinful Selves, God's Sovereignty and Holiness, Prayer as a letter of love, not a grocery list. Why do you think it is hard to pray?
