Everyone hates a pedophile. Even pedophiles hate pedophiles because they hate themselves. Thank God, there is forgiveness and redemption in Jesus! But Jesus gave no light warning to those who sin against children. Jesus said, "It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble." Luke 17:2.But since pedophiles hate themselves and don't want to be pedophiles, we should have compassion and help them get set free. And in order to set people free, we need to understand how someone comes to do something so evil in the first place.  A school Principal, upstanding citizen, father, and husband shares his story today about how he fell into the most despised of sins. America has laid the groundwork for a plague of this sin and the curses that come with it. I designed this episode to motivate you to stand up, take action, and intercede for the present and future generations.❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgessle...  / karlgessler  Social Media➡️Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...➡️Telegram - https://t.me/FaithoftheFathers➡️Truth Social - https://truthsocial.com/@UCLOvq6O4aIX... ➡️Gab - https://gab.com/KarlGesslerSupport the show

Millions of Christians do not fully believe in God's love. In fact, no living Christian fully believes in God's love because the Bible says, "There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear," 1 John 4:18 NASB.Every human has some level of fear, so we must conclude that we also have a measure of unbelief in God's love. One tell-tale sign that you lack faith in God's love is the presence of the Spirit of Offense, a spirit that abounds among religious people. But you can be free of this evil spirit and become a fearless warrior for Christ.❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgesslerfamilybandhttps://www.patreon.com/karlgesslerSocial Media➡️Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089357625739➡️Telegram - https://t.me/FaithoftheFathers➡️Truth Social - https://truthsocial.com/@UCLOvq6O4aIXLrkKxwXkq3uA ➡️Gab - https://gab.com/KarlGesslerSupport the show

The Northern and Southern states alike have always revered General Robert E Lee and General Stonewall Jackson. Without a doubt, Lee is a father of this country, but is he also a father of our faith? Recently, certain people in our media have vilified Lee as a white supremacist whom we should forget. But why should we suddenly condemn a man that we have long revered? What do we lose if we lose Robert E Lee? What do we gain if we retain his memory? General "Stonewall" Jackson is also deeply loved by the Southern United States and respected by the North. Jackson gained his nickname because of his bravery in battle, which sprung from his faith. Should Christians listen to the public pressure to condemn Jackson wholesale today?In Today's podcast, Don Hendrix joins me in the studio to talk about the importance of nuance in history and the importance of recognizing the greatness of these two men of faith and character.Telegram: The Faith of the Fatherswww.karlgessler.comSupport the show

Some of us confess Christ and get baptized but still struggle with the same old sins. That is not how things are supposed to work. There is a key to victory available.Christianity is nothing more than an intellectual idea without the baptism of the Holy Spirit. But many Christians are confused about it. Don't all Christians have the Holy Spirit? What does the Baptism of the Holy Spirit have to do with speaking in tongues? And is the gift of the Holy Spirit something I can acquire by choice, or do I have to ask God, wait and hope that I receive it? I've questioned many things concerning the Baptism of the Holy Spirit over the years. Recently, I tried to give my best explanation, and it seems that God confirmed my conclusions with an unlooked-for testimony. The bottom line is: You can receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit immediately. Today's podcast will explain how your life can be changed by the Holy Spirit TODAY.Telegram: The Faith of the Fatherswww.karlgessler.comSupport the show

Does your body or the earth matter to God, or are we trying to live in a de-railed story? That is what we are asking about this week's podcast. Why? Because the Sadducees challenged Jesus on His belief in the coming resurrection of the dead. Resurrection is not the same thing as "going to heaven," as many Western Christians assume. Jesus' answer has a tremendous impact on the way you approach the life you are living right now.  And in the second half of the podcast, Joseph Smith, the director of Teen Challenge Alabama, joins us to share his testimony of deliverance from pain pill addiction through Jesus!To learn more about Alabama Teen Challenge, please check out this link:https://alatc.org/Show Your Love! Become a Podcast Partner!Patreon.com/karlgesslerLearn more about Jesus here:https://www.karlgessler.com/thegospelforplanetearthTravel on Family Ministry adventures here:https://youtu.be/1YIuMun2eYUFor Free Music from Karl Gessler, visit:https://www.karlgessler.com/thekarlgesslerbandShare your thoughts on today's discussion and join the larger conversation on our Gospel For Planet Earth facebook page.https://www.facebook.com/TheGospel4earthSupport the show

Should politics and religion be separated? Many Westerners would quickly shout "Yes!" But if God cannot take part in our politics, what exactly, "belongs to God"? Jamin Hendrix joins Karl in the studio again this week to talk about the meaning behind Jesus' words in Luke 20, "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. And Give to God what belongs to God." Today's Government in China doesn't want God or anyone else involved in their politics and they are using science-fiction-type technology to reach unprecedented levels of control over their citizens, not least, the Church! How is the Church responding? Eugene Bach joins us on the phone to give us his insider's look at these startling developments taking place in China today.

Have you ever wonder what it would be like if you were actually on Noah's Ark? Have you ever wondered if there really was an ark or an actual worldwide flood? And have you ever wondered if, supposing those incidents were not meant to be taken as literal, face-value facts, would that undermine the authority of scripture? And finally, if a man came into your city hall, or your church, and started throwing things around and dismantling speakers and microphones, etc. would you ask him where he got his authority or would you ask someone to call the police?

Frankness is something that I highly value. I would rather know what someone is thinking, even if I don't agree with it, than to try and guess. In this week's podcast, I am joined by my Uncle Frank who is indeed frank in his thoughts and opinions. This is somewhat of a pioneering episode as we try to infuse a more conversational tone to the podcast. Frank was raised Catholic and then was a practicing Mormon for a number of years. Today, Frank considers himself Catholic and believes in the resurrection, but he says that he does not know Jesus personally.

"This is a good book, but it is very dangerous." Majid was warned by his father. His Islamic teacher also warned him saying, "If you read this book and you lose your Islamic faith, your blood will be on your own neck!" Yet, Majid's hunger for the truth was too strong to hold him back. He did read it and he did lose his Islamic faith and so much more. But He also gained so much more! In this week's podcast, we are hearing part two of Majid's story. You can hear part one "The Violence of Islam" by listening to last week's episode.

The long-awaited moment has arrived, the moment when God returns to His people in Zion! Not surprisingly, there are fireworks when God doesn't look like what people expected. This week, we are focusing on the meaning of Jesus' ride into Jerusalem on a donkey and His subsequent cleansing of the temple. But first, Karl is joined by a special guest co-host, Josh Saltz as they talk about talking about theology and the different ways we find motivation for the discipline of reading God's Word.Support the show

Many people claim to follow Jesus, but which Jesus are we talking about? Jesus didn't always meet the expectations of His contemporaries in the Gospels and He still is full of surprises and challenges for us today. What do we do with Jesus when He isn't what we thought? Will we follow Him if it means losing everything we know? What if it means even replacing our personal identity with something radically new? This week, Karl and Susie make a second dig into the 19th chapter of Luke's Gospel, wrestling with a parable that many have found difficult to decipher over the years.

Jesus said that it is easier for a camel to "go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" and yet, in today's podcast we will meet a rich man who does just that.

"God, if you are up there..." how many Christians have uttered these words as the prelude to their conversion? I don't know the statistics but I would guess that the number is fairly high. John Thompson threw these words at the sky as he was overwhelmed with a sense of hopelessness and meaninglessness, and God answered, though maybe not as John expected. This week, my brother-in-law, John Thompson, shares with us his story of coming to Christ after a life of drugs and gangs in Philadelphia.

Why is it hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God? Is it actually impossible? Can you establish a kingdom of justice on earth without getting wealthy people to back your revolution?

Jesus told His disciples to pray. But why are we supposed to pray? What does prayer accomplish? What were the disciples themselves praying about? How did they view prayer? And why is Jesus partial to children? Is this unusual? What is the nature of the Kingdom of God that it should be especially meant for children?

Does God answer every prayer? Is there such a thing as a bad prayer or is every prayer good just because it is prayer? This week, Susie and Karl are going to share with you an interview with Dennis Raber, a man that they met in Ohio who experienced a great sickness after his Amish father "prayed" for something bad to happen to him.

Petr Jasek grew up in the shadow of communism in the Chek-Republic. Both of Petr's parents suffered because of their faithful witness to Christ. As a result, at a young age, Petr was aware of the plight and needs of our suffering brothers and sisters around the world. Petr made it his vocation to serve the persecuted church as he was brought on staff with the Voice of the Martyrs to serve the Church in Africa. But on his last venture into Sudan, Petr was not allowed to return home. His entire trip had been caught on videos and in pictures by government spies who were suspicious of his activities. Even though Petr had committed no crime, he was placed in a small prison cell with several other men...all of them were members of ISIS! In this week's podcast, Petr shares his testimony of God's faithfulness in the midst of uncertainty and suffering. What thoughts are stirred in your heart by this week's podcast?

The Prodigal son is one of the most beloved and familiar parables of Jesus. But have we heard all that Jesus wants to say through this parable? I don't think so. Down through the ages, this parable has continued to inspire, to challenge, and to give hope to those who hear it. Nevertheless, I believe there is still more for Westerner Christians to harvest from this parable.Support the show

Gracia grew up as a good pastor's daughter near Witchita Kansas. After marrying Martin Burnham, a man who was called to fly supplies to missionaries living in remote jungle villages, Gracia and Martin moved to the Philippines where they served for sixteen years. Little did she know that she would one day be in the national news headlines for having been kidnapped by Muslim Terrorist for over a year.

Throughout Luke's Gospel, there is a growing tension between Jesus and the many varying expectations of Israel concerning the Kingdom of God. Much of the dynamics of the dialogue between Jesus and His interlocutors is lost on Westerners who have been culturally conditioned to assume that Jesus is a teacher of ethics, a healer, and someone who offers a way of hope for a better after-life. We are often blinded to the political maneuvering that is recorded throughout Luke's Gospel because we have been taught that Jesus isn't or should be interested in such things. Nothing can be further from the truth. Jesus is not only involved in political maneuvering, He is good at it too!

How would you answer that question? Many people read Jesus' parables as though they were short stories about God, how to get to heaven, and how to be a good person. And when Jesus talks about "the Kingdom of God" many of us assume that Jesus is talking about heaven as a place we will go to when we die. Many times, when a Christian dies, we say that they "entered the Kingdom."  So, when Jesus asks the rhetorical question "What is God's kingdom like?", we expect Him to describe a destination called "Heaven" to us in the next breath, but He does not.  Instead, Jesus says that the Kingdom of God is "like a mustard seed that someone took and placed in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky made nests in its branches." Luke 13:19. We have to admit that if Jesus was trying to describe heaven, this is a rather shocking description. How in the world could heaven be like a Mustard seed growing into a tree? What is Jesus really talking about?Subscribe to the blog and get free music here:www.thegospelforplanetearth.comSupport the Podcast here:https://www.patreon.com/karlgessler/overviewSupport the show

The Gospel is good news, not simply good advice. The Gospel is news, it is not a theory. We do not say that some people believe that the Twin Towers in New York collapsed on September 11, 2001; we say that it happened because it did. In the same way, the Gospel is the news that the Kingdom of God has arrived in and through the person of Jesus. And we know this is true because Jesus has been raised from the dead. Can this good news change you even if you do not understand it? Most definitely. The events of September 11, 2001 have changed the world we live in whether future generations know it or not. And the events surrounding Jesus, His crucifixion and His Resurrection, have changed the world even if people don't know about such events.  In today's podcast, we are going to meet a man who was healed by Jesus, though he only knew Jesus by the name "Hallelujah" in the first months after his healing encounter. This former devote Muslim was radically changed by the reality of the living person of Jesus and now fully knows and follows him. You will be moved by his story! We will also be finishing up the 12th chapter of Luke and exploring what Jesus was talking about when He told His followers to paying attention to "the signs of the times." Is this the end of the world?! Or was Jesus talking about something quite different? If you would like to connect with brother Salman, you may email him at:[email protected] you like to ask a question to be answered on the podcasts?

This week's podcast is PACKED! We are returning to Luke 12 as we try to understand just what Jesus is warnings to His disciples about being afraid and what His exhortations mean for us thousands of years later! Could this be the solution to igniting Christian faith once again in the Western world? Plus, Karl sits down for a chat with Brent Burke who shares his story of coming to faith in a Baptist Church but finding himself more at home today in Anglicanism. What? Why? How? These are the questions we are pursuing as we invite you to join in the journey of life and faith on God's great planet earth!For more info on the Family Ministry Night on May 17th check out this link: https://www.facebook.com/events/382389498903507/For a free download of the "We Will Not Fear" Album from Karl Gessler: https://www.karlgessler.com/thekarlgesslerbandFor more on the Jordan Michael Tuesday Show:https://jordanmichaeltuesday.com/Support the show

How far should you go in the fight for life? Should Christians who believe that life begins at conception use graphic images of abortions to make their point? The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR) has started a campaign called the "Genocide Awareness Project (GAP), which uses the graphic images of abortions to expose what they call a current "genocide," which is taking place in the United States. Recently, I participated in a couple of these GAP events along with my two friends, Jamin and Dominic. In this week's podcast, the three of us gathered together to unpack what we saw, heard, and experienced. Are graphic images of abortions something that we should be using to make our point?

It seems like a ridiculous question. The philosopher Rene' Descrates said famously "I think, therefore I am". But what are we? Are we animals? Are we a random collision of molecules? What does it mean to exist or to be created? What is our purpose? And can we exist without one? In this week's podcast, I will be sharing a portion of a message I gave during a concert with my band (The KGB) ,at Barker Heights Baptist Church, earlier this year.  In the message I focus on Genesis and explore the meanings behind what "creation" in the Bible is all about and how the Western world is coming dangerously close to ignoring the boundaries that give us our meaning, purpose and existence.https://www.karlgessler.com/single-post/2018/04/09/People-are-animalsFor more on John Walton's work:https://www.amazon.com/Lost-World-Genesis-One-Cosmology/dp/0830837043Support the show

Jesus warned His followers to "fear the one who, after he has killed, has the authority to cast you into Hell." Luke 12:5. Whom and what is Jesus talking about? What are YOUR thoughts on Hell?

What is a good Samaritan? We don't know what that name sounded like to the first century Jews and neither do we really grasp the impact of Jesus' famous parable of the Good Samaritan. In this week's podcast, as we explore Luke 10 further, we ask why some Biblical manuscripts are different than others and why, not only Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan, but why many of His actions were considered controversial and crossing cultural boundaries.

What does it mean to be human? Are we a random collection of sticky molecules that happen to be able to walk, talk and breathe? Are we more than the sum of our material parts? This week, Susie and I are taking a break from the normal format of the podcast to explore a little deeper into this question, "What is man?" and also to take more time to think through the ramifications of the actions and attitudes of Jesus concerning the women involved in His Kingdom of God movement in Luke 8. What did Jesus think about gender roles? Would Jesus be at the Women's marches or promoting the N.ational O.rginization of W.omen? Does this have anything to do with Jesus' Gospel message? You will have to listen to find out what we think. Cause I am sure not committing it to print! Just kidding.

The world is full of good guys and bad guys. But deciding whom the good guys are and whom the bad guys are is a significant challenge, but one that we are all up for facing whether we acknowledge it or not. Even the most dedicated Pacifist and the most loyal Universalist will be able to identify enemies to their causes when truly pressed. The world of Luke and Jesus was no different. The Jews had their own ideas about who was “in” with God and who was not and hence, who is "good" and who is not. The question is, how will Jesus determine who is in line to inherit God’s blessing, (i.e. who are “God’s people”, "true Israel", or "the good") and will it line up with the views of the most influential cultural movement of the day, the Pharisees? How will Jesus' redrawn lines match up with our own expectations of whom God should or shouldn't receive? That is what we will discover on this week’s Gospel for Planet Earth Podcast.

“Father, let me dedicate all this year to Thee…” These lyrics penned by the Lutheran Hymnist Lawrence Tuttiet, have been always what comes to mind this time of year ever since I heard Matt Redman’s modern rendition of it over a decade ago. And of course this is very appropriate since the hymn was written to be sung on New Year’s day! Happy New Year everyone! I am dedicating this year to the Lord entirely. I have dedicated myself, my family, and my calendar to the Lord. I am excited to see what He will do! On this week’s podcast, Susie and I talk about the significance of the New Year before we dive into Luke 4 and hear about Jesus’ claim that the “favorable year of the Lord” was beginning in the movement that He Himself was starting.

Imagine driving through an American city with a church building on the corners of the streets every few blocks. There is a Chic-Fil-A down the road providing employment for the many church-goers in the area, many of whom are also homeschooled. The economy is strong and family values are respected. You might imagine that you were driving through the Bible belt, with the one difference being that the churches on the corners are not Baptist, Presbyterian, or Pentecostal, but Mormon, “The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints”. That is what it is like driving through Salt Lake City, Utah. In this week’s Podcast, join Susie and I and our family as we travel through the Great Northwest and reflect on our brief stay in the Salt Lake City area. We will be pondering the differences between the Mormon culture and the culture of the Bible belt or Christian culture in general. What is the difference? Are Mormon’s Christians? What makes someone a Christian? What makes someone a good person? What is the Gospel?

Over the past 8 years, my family and I have traveled thousands and thousands of miles across our great country to sing and display the Gospel in rescue missions, street corners, churches, drug rehab centers and anywhere we can. One of the opportunities that these trips have provided has been meeting various Christians, hearing their testimonies, and discovering that they are indeed our family too. Jesus himself said that “there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come..." Luke 18:29-30.  We've had the privilege of staying with many folks in their homes and experiencing the reality that we are family in Jesus. On one of our ​ journeys, we stayed with our brother in Christ, Jason Peters, who was working at that time with the Voice of the Martyrs in Bartlesville Oklahoma. On this most recent trip, we reconnected with Jason, this time in Colorado, where he is now involved in a unique work (Hope Haven Rwanda) involving his whole family in the country of Rwanda. On this week's podcast, Jason introduces me to Susan Hollern who is the founder of Hope Haven Rwanda. I was blessed to meet Susan and to hear her testimony as well as to learn much about Rwanda that I really did not know. Listen to the podcast and click on the link below to find out how you can serve Jesus and even get to know Him more through His people in Rwanda.Support the show

Halloween is here and all over the country people are celebrating horrible things...and candy. I don't know what the appeal of horror actually is, but as much as we seem to enjoy horror as entertainment this time of year, the truth is that most of us live with a great amount of unspoken or un-articulated fear on a day to day basis. Fear is a deadly poison to the human being and a detriment to those of us who desire to follow Jesus. On this week's podcast, and for the next several podcasts, we will be going inside the "We Will Not Fear Tour" as we make our way straight across the United States and back on a faith-inspired mission trip. We are trying to face our fears and demonstrate that Jesus is greater than them all! He is the Victor!

Some people teach that God will ultimately succeed in redeeming everyone in creation and no one will remain in Hell forever. There are different forms of this teaching, generally referred to as "Universalism", but this is the general description. Some positions are certainly more in line with orthodox Christianity than others which abandon it altogether.I have great sympathy for those who want Universalism to be true. There is much sentiment within the scriptures that supports this desire. First of all, consider the fact that Genesis says that "God saw ALL that He had made, and behold, it was very good" (Genesis 1:31 emphasis added). Consider too that the Apostle Peter said that "it is not God's will that ANY perish but that should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:8-9)Then there is the most famous scripture in the world: "God so loved the world that He have His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16.  The key here is that the eternal life is for all those "who believe in Him". This is not to say that judgment or Hell is a matter of God being vindictive toward those who disrespect His Son. It is more that God will not rescue those who do not want to be rescued. Consider Jesus riding into Jerusalem, bursting into tears saying "if only you had known the things that make for peace. But now they are hidden from your eyes..." (Luke 19:41-44) Not everyone wants to be rescued.But this is not the time to sit smugly and look down our noses at all those "foolish people" who are simply headstrong and rebellious. We all have a story and some people's stories are absolutely horrible. The abuse, neglect, and evil that some people have experience is more than they might ever be able to communicate to someone else. It seems to me that most people would follow Jesus if they were truly exposed to Him for long enough. But there are not enough of God's people who look enough like Jesus to get the job done! Jesus said of the Israel of His own day "the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord to send our laborers into his fields..."  (Luke 10:2) Most of the Israel of Jesus' day did indeed reject Jesus. But what if there had been more laborers? The story might have been different. Does that mean that these unharvested people are all going to Hell? Not necessarily. Those in danger of Hell or judgment or whatever you want to call it, might be those of us who refused to be the laborers more than those who never had the chance to hear the good news. We will be judged by what we don't do as well as by what we do. Jesus wept for all to be reconciled to God. Do we do the same? Do we seek new ways to communicate God's love to people who don't know it or do we sit smugly by content in our own standing before God but unconcerned about anyone else's. I am not a Universalist but I do believe that judgment day will be stock full of surprises both good and bad.In this week's podcast, Susie and I are discussing the concept of Universalism.

The church in the Western world has been in decline for some time now. We are struggling to find traction within our culture. Even within the walls of our church buildings we have found our effectiveness deeply wanting. We often say with words that the Gospel is “powerful” and changes lives, but it seems as though we rarely see it. What is wrong? Why is it that the Gospel is changing lives in China, India, and the Middle East, but the Western world seems not to be able to care less? Could it be that we have lost the full Gospel message? What IS the message of the Gospel? Can you put it into a few words? Maybe this is just the problem. Maybe we have tried to sum up the Gospel into quick and easy sound-bytes and have lost it in the process. The word “Gospel” means “good news”. What is this news exactly? The only real way to answer this question is to the listen to the four original evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. What did they say was the good news? And is that news still relevant today? Will the Western Church be surprised hear what they have to say? I believe that we will. Find out why in this week’s Gospel for Planet Earth Podcast!Support the show

"Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so...The most well know Bible verse in all the world is John 3:16:"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son..." This is truly an amazing message and yet, in our country, it seems to fall on deaf ears. Are we preaching this message enough? Or are we preaching one message in words and another message in deeds? What about the idea that the cross of Jesus displays God's love for us? Sometimes it seems that the message is that God is so angry with us, but took out His wrath on Jesus instead of us. This seems to conflict with the idea that God really loves us. It seems to imply more that God tolerates us because He has already vented His anger on Jesus. What is this "God is love" business really all about?

Getting Ready for JesusHow does one get ready for Jesus’ return? Empty your bank account? Untie your shoes? Get busy with evangelism? The real event of Jesus’ return is overshadowed in the Western world by popular, (but not necessarily Biblical), concepts of a rapture and cataclysmic final days of planet earth. The New Testament does indeed talk about Jesus’ return, or better said “re-appearing”, but not His “return” in the sense of Jesus being absent and a long way off in a place called heaven and then returning, as in travelling to earth, to take us away too. No, Jesus is already and forever present with His people. Jesus said at His ascension: “Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” Matthew 28:20. The Church exists because the manifest presence of Jesus. She could not exist without His presence, though buildings and organizations could, but that is another story. The story that the four gospels writers want to tell is not about the world ending and Jesus returning to take us away from the burning wreck, but about God Himself returning to His temple. In other words, the returning referenced in the gospels is almost entirely speaking of God’s return to His temple and His people in and through the person of Jesus, rather than Jesus’ re-appearing or supposed “return” thousands of years later. What people needed to be ready for then was the return that was happening right before their very eyes. God was returning to His temple and to His people and to His world to renew them all and to bring about a righteous judgment so that there will be righteousness in the streets and healing in the land. The world was not ready for Jesus’ coming then, and it is not ready for the announcement of His presence and Lordship today. And the truth be told, that announcement is often been muffled and muddled by the misled concepts of the rapture and the end of the world. It’s my desire to re-claim the gospel message of God’s return in the person of Jesus that we find in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.In this week’s podcast, Karl and Susie discuss the concept of “Getting Ready for Jesus’ return”.

"Foxes have dens," Jesus replied, "...but the son of man has nowhere to lay His head."  (Luke 9:58)Is Jesus a homeless pilgrim? Is that what Jesus was advocating and what Luke wants to tell us? Of the vast majority of Christians, those who truly study their Bibles are few. But of the few that actually do spend time reading the Bible, very few ever read it in large chunks. We have been trained to read the Bible for private devotions, to spend 15 or 20 minutes reading the word and meditating on "what it means to me". This is a very worthy exercise and one I would commend to every person in the world, but it is not how the Bible was meant to be read. Most people take it for granted that Jesus is a spiritual teacher who shows us the way to heaven. Therefore, His teaching is about great timeless truth about how to get to heaven, how to be a better person, and how to order your spiritual life. But that is not what the Bible is about and it is not what the Gospels are about. The word "gospel" means "good news" and the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) are about something that has happened, whether you like it or not, believe it or not, or have ever heard about it before. These works are not about good advice, but about good news. These books are not about timeless teachings but about historical events that have changed and are still changing the world for good.Yes, some of the things Jesus teaches contains timeless truth, but the message of each gospel writer and of Jesus Himself is more impactful, more audacious and more challenging than that. Each gospel writer claims, in his on way, that Jesus has accomplished the establishment of a new reality, a new kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Because of this accomplishment, everything is to be re-shaped and re-evaluated. There is new hope, new possibilities, and a new Lord in town. But we miss much of this by reading the Bible in small, isolated sections. We fail to see the big picture, the drama, and the accomplishment that Luke and the other gospels writers are so eager to announce to us.In this week's podcast, Susie and I discuss Luke 9:57-62 and the merits of reading the gospels in bigger sections at a time, or even the whole thing in one sitting! This is in anticipation of our Meeting Jesus in Gospel of Luke Conference coming up on August 6th at Hendersonville Presbyterian Church 699 North Grove St. Hendersonville NC 28792.

Before my Dad suddenly passed away at the young age of 49, he used to casually say that “one day it would be fun to have a radio show”. My Dad loved to talk to people, but I think the radio show was more or less a pipe dream. But for me, it was a very exciting and appealing idea. When my father passed at such a young age, I decided that I didn’t want to wait for “one day” and, by God’s grace and provision, I was able to launch out on a local radio show with my own program that ran once a week for about six months. This is how The Gospel for Planet Earth was born. It was very exciting and I perceive that it was a success even though it was short lived (Eventually, I decided that podcasts were more economic and flexible. However, there is still a possibility that I would do a radio show again). It was exciting and I learned a lot. Particularly, I became more convinced that there is a growing crowd of people out there in our Christian culture who are not satisfied with some or many of the answers that they are receiving from mainline Christianity. There are many answers that I believe mainline Christianity is not able to answer because of the simple fact that exactly what “the gospel” is has been lost. Mainline Christianity teaches that the gospel is about how sinners get forgiven and can be assured their place in heaven. But the gospel according to the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, is about how God established His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Until we can recognize this and reorganize our scriptural interpretation around this fact, there are many answers that the church is giving that will fall flat in trying to scratch where it itches for those with serious questions in our churches and on the streets. This is the main reason why this podcast and blog exists.I have always been a candid person. But a true Christian must also learn to be candid with oneself as well, as Jesus warned that “the measure you use to judge others will be used to measure yourself.” (Matthew 7:1-3). I think that a huge key to asking good questions is learning to be candid with yourself. And this is also a MUST for good evangelism. So, for this week’s podcast, I thought I would dust off a show from the original radio program about seven years ago in which I interview myself. I think I am about due for another one of these as I trust I have grown since this recording. Maybe you have questions that you think I should be asking myself? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Please, listen, share, and comment below. This is a candid interview with myself on The Gospel For Planet Earth!Support the show

This question has always been absurd to me. Where did we ever get the idea that homosexuality and Christianity are compatible? Nevertheless, is seems that many Christians today are in doubt about how to answer this question. The truth be told, many people within our christian culture seem to be unable to define proper sexual behavior at all. It seems that our culture wants to say, "Is any sexual practice illegitimate?" and many want to answer with a loud "NO!" But the silent majority is struggling, searching and hoping for answers. No boundaries is a reality and for good reason. A country without borders is a country that is about to be invaded by an enemy. How do we discern what is proper sexual behavior? In this week's podcast Karl talks with David Arthur who spent over 30 years of his life, previously, in homosexuality and transgender-ism.

This week I have been in the studio working on a new music project, o for this week's podcast, I am dusting off the digital shelf to bring you a special podcast recorded with my wife last year concerning the doctrine of election. This was also recorded during the presidential election cycle of 2016.The popular Protestant doctrine of Election has been much contested down the years. Nevertheless, many aspects of this doctrine are the assumed standard for most mainline Evangelical Protestant denominations. There are some non-Calvinists or "Arminians", but they are not the dominant opinion in the American pulpits. Many people assume that if you are not a Calvinist, you are Arminian. I honestly know nothing of Jacobus Arminius except his name which I just looked up on Wikipedia! (Note to self: add Jacobus Arminius to reading list). Nevertheless, I have always had major concerns and have perceived many inconsistencies within the traditional Calvinistc teachings on election. In this podcast, I take a stab at explaining to my wife how I understand the Biblical doctrine of election. I am sure that this will not be my last attempt!Please, listen, comment, and share with a friend!Support the show

Music moves us, Movements produce music, and the Church has always been full of music and movements. But which comes first, the music or the movements? Which movements from the past still effect us today? What are today's musical movements that are shaking and shaping the Church in the West? From the Wesley's to D.L. Moody and Ira Sankey, to Haight Ashbury and ​​the Jesus movement, to Passion and Jesus Culture, Karl and Ricky Gessler discuss these and other, sometimes unmentionable players, ( i.e. "Stryper") in the Christian music world and in the world of culture on this week's Gospel for Planet Earth Podcast. ​Support the show

Gluten has become a great evil in the world of healthy eating. It does feel sometimes like eating healthy has become a new moral obligation. Sometimes, when we read the Bible, it seems that foods that are eaten or not eaten also has some kind of moral attachment. But the apostle Paul told the Corinthians that "food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do" 1 Corinthians 8:8. Yet in the book of Galatians, Jews eating at the same table with Gentiles is a major hot button!

Jim Beaver needed an escape as he grew up with wounds and hurts. Jim found part of that escape in his music, but still he needed real hope and real life. After struggling for many years, Jim was finally introduced to Jesus and His gift of the Holy Spirit that, in Jim's words, made him realize that "Oh! Jesus is real! This thing is real!" Now Jim still plays music, but not so much for an escape but more for an expression of who He now is in Christ. I first met Jim when we were both in high school and I was amazed by his guitar skills then, and even more so today. I am thankful that he uses his gifts to celebrate the Kingdom of God. In this podcast, Jim and I reflect on our parallel musical lives, asking the question "How has Jesus changed the way we think about music?" You will also get to hear some of Jim's amazing skills as wells as a sneak peak, live performance of a song from my upcoming album (scheduled to be released in August 2017).

All religions are created equal. That is what we are taught to believe. “Religion” as we know the word today is, however, a misleading and largely unhelpful word when describing the world-views of various cultures and peoples. In today’s Western world, the word religion is used to categorize whole world-views as being superstitious or spiritual and, hence, having no real purchase on matters to do with the “real world” of space, time and matter. But this concept of religion is a modern myth. Suppose you could explore the different religions of the world on a personal level? What if you became a Hindu or a Muslim or a Catholic? For that matter, what if you spent time being an Atheist? How would it change your world-view? How would it affect your life and the lives of the people around you? This would be a dangerous experiment. Fortunately for you, someone else has tried it and lived to tell the story. On this weeks Gospel for Planet Earth Podcast, John Immel shares his story of a journey around the world religions to finally finding his home in Christ.Leave a Comment, ask a question, and get FREE music!www.karlgessler.com/contactShow Your Love!

Jesus told the Jews in Jerusalem that they could tear down their temple and He would rebuild it in three days. (John 2:19). Did Jesus intend to really build a temple? Did Jesus intend to build anything?What did Jesus intend to accomplish through His ministry and His suffering on a cross? Did He intend to “start the Church” and did that mean the same thing in the first Century as we mean by it today in the West? On this week’s podcast, I briefly explore these questions before giving a rough account of what I believe Jesus was building and what He was accomplishing for us today.If you enjoy these podcasts, please share with a friend and tune in Saturdays at 10am for Live Facebook Podcasts.

Easter is the pinnacle of the Christian calendar. In fact, it is the pinnacle of anyone's calendar because it is a celebration of the moment when the world turned its vital corner and God became King in and through Jesus. But what does this mean for us today? Bishop Jeremiah Kibobi is a former Bishop in the African Anglican Church. Bishop Kibobi shares with us his experience ministering in the Anglican church and why he left it to become a bishop of Visions of Glory Church which focuses on care for the widows, orphans, and the less fortunate.

Michael Titus grew up as a Muslim. It was all that he knew. There had been no proclamation of the Gospel in his village in over 100 years. But Michael had a dream one night that gave him a deep longing for real joy. Michael dreamed that he saw a car full and people who were laughing and singing with great joy. They stopped the car and shouted to him, "Get in! You only have one chance!" When Michael woke up, he began to ask, "Where can I find this in reality?" Michael did find the longing of his heart and this is how it happened...Leave a Comment or ask a question:https://www.karlgessler.com/contactShow Your Love!

Hung Yang grew up in communist China in the 1970s. Dr. Yang is now a citizen of the United States and teaches in a US University but before that, he was a loyal member of the Chinese Communist Party because he did not know that there was anything else to be. The young Dr. Yang did not even know that there was a book called “The Bible” until he was 20 years old and was studying English literature in a Communist school. The Bible is a highly restricted and sometimes forbidden book in China even today but especially in the late 70s and early 80s, Bibles were virtually non-existent in China. Dr. Yang would never have known about the Bible either had not Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and a few other English authors referred to the Holy scriptures in their literature. These minor references were enough to stir the young Dr. Yang’s interest. When he asked his teacher about the Bible he was rebuked and warned that it would be “dangerous” to inquire about that book! Dr. Yang was told that he must ask the head of the school if he really wanted to know something about the Bible, but it could get him in trouble…Dr. Yang persisted in seeking permission to have access to a Bible, all the while, he had to insist that it was for academic purposes only. Finally, the school master consented under the condition that Dr. Yang would only be allowed to have the Bible for two weeks and he must sign a paper promising to read the Bible for academic purposes only! Dr. Yang was then led to a secret room in the school, (a room he never knew existed!), in which there was a library for the books banned by the Communist government. After searching for a couple of hours, Hung Yang finally found what he was looking for in a box marked “Western Pornography”. In this box, Dr. Yang found an old, moldy, King James Bible with some missing pages which he then studied, (for academic purposes only of course!), for two weeks.Support the show

Jesus came to establish the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. One of the central ramifications of that accomplishment is that justice is brought to the poor and helpless.

Evangelism in the first century did not sound like evangelism in the 21st century. Why not? Why didn't Jesus ever ask people if they knew where they would spend eternity? Why didn't the disciples tell people that Jesus has made a way for them to go to heaven? In this week's podcast, Karl explores Stephen's words to the High Priest during his trial before his martyrdom.
