In the King James Bible, a unique distinction is made that isn’t clearly found in any other English versions of the Bible. It is a difference in terms that has a serious impact on the way we understand the New Testament. It also comes to influence our understanding of our very mission as Christians, our view of prophecy, and our eschatological outlook.
What is this major discrepancy that is often misunderstood? Well, it’s the terms “Kingdom of God” and “Kingdom of Heaven." These two similar phrases have two categorically unique impacts on our understanding of the gospels and the narrative of scripture. Come to find out, these two kingdoms differ in their presence, their primary audience and their nature. Defining these terms helps us to rightly divide the Word of God.
Today we are honored to be joined by LFBI instructor Greg Axe, pastor at Crest Bible Church and author of The Kingdom of God & The Kingdom of Heaven, to discuss the differences in these two concepts and what they mean to our theology.
Evangelism holds a significant place in the life and mission of the Christian, but the truth is very few of us are doing it. Throughout Scripture, we see Jesus and the apostles engaging people in a way that reflects boldness and urgency — so what makes us so afraid of confronting people with that same degree of urgency?
On todays show, we are going to be speaking with Pastor Dylan Novak, who is a man on a mission to bring the gospel to one of the least reached people groups — celebrities. God is using Dylan to lovingly confront movie stars and musicians with the gospel. Since the start of his ministry, God has given him the opportunity to share the gospel with over 1,000 celebrities.
Dylan’s view of confrontational evangelism and his heart to “redeem the time” makes him an ensample to all of us who desire to have a more active and personal evangelism ministry.
Hey Everyone,
Today is the last day of the semester and there are few things we want to remind you of.
Praying for you all,

In today’s episode, we’re tackling a topic that challenges cultural norms and theological assumptions: polygamy. What was once considered a fringe practice in the U.S. is now gaining more visibility, prompting questions about marriage, ethics, and faith.
What does the Bible say and how should Christians understand this subject? In the Old Testament, we see polygamy in practice among patriarchs and kings who had multiple wives – but how did God perceive that? Are there instances in which God condones the practice?
To help us navigate this topic, we’re joined by missiology professor James Fyffe, a missionary himself, who spent time ministering in cultures where polygamy is a longstanding tradition. Today we will look to God’s word to find out not only what the Bible says about polygamy, but how this question may impact people in ministry and on the mission field.
