  • 217. Special Episode | Revisiting God Shares The Story Of Abraham And Its True Significance
    Feb 6 2025

    In this episode, we revisit Abraham’s powerful story and its deeper meaning in God's relationship with humanity. Why could Abraham hear and obey God so completely? What does his unwavering faith reveal about true obedience and trust in divine will?

    Jerry Martin explores Abraham's test, questioning whether such an extreme command could truly come from God. The Voice of God explains the necessity of absolute surrender, divine authority, and the spiritual transformation it brings. What does Abraham’s response to God teach us about faith, submission, and moral dilemmas in the Bible?

    We also examine Abraham’s contrasting responses—his silent obedience with Isaac versus his bold plea for Sodom. Why did Abraham challenge God’s judgment over Sodom but not question His command to sacrifice his son? Does God evolve through human interaction? Can divine commands be questioned, or is faith about complete submission?

    This thought-provoking discussion challenges traditional views on faith, obedience, and divine justice. We delve into the meaning of divine obedience, the nature of God's test of faith, and whether Abraham was a real person or a symbolic figure in religious history.

    Join us for this profound journey into one of the Bible’s most debated stories, exploring God’s voice and divine communication, the spiritual lessons from Abraham’s faith, and the complexity of obedience and morality in the Old Testament.

  • 215. What's On Our Mind: Exploring Life’s Purpose and Intimacy with God
    Jan 23 2025

    Questions? Comments? Text Us!

    In this thought-provoking episode, Jerry L. Martin and Scott Langdon explore profound spiritual and philosophical questions that strike at the heart of human existence. What is the purpose of life? How do we find meaning in our daily experiences? And what does it mean to truly fall in love with God?

    Drawing on Jerry’s divine conversations detailed in God: An Autobiography, they discuss the concept of a non-teleological approach to life, where meaning lies in the "doing" rather than achieving an ultimate goal. Discover how God’s relationship with humanity evolves through cultures, from Ancient Israel to modern interpretations of love, harmony, and growth.

    This episode examines profound topics, including divine encounters, God’s omnisubjectivity—engaging with all human stories—and the intimate nature of connecting with God in everyday life. It invites listeners to reflect on spiritual growth, the challenges of moral dilemmas, and the larger questions of existence.

    Through thoughtful dialogue, the episode illuminates the universe as a great act of love and explores how God participates in and grows alongside creation.
