Majors Bobby and Anne Westmoreland | How Do We Enter New Communities?

As we began developing this series, a question that came up early on was, “Is everyone a missionary?” The question was, is being a “missionary”, a spiritual calling like preaching or teaching- or are we as Christians ALL missionaries? In this episode, Bernie, Cheryl and Karol unpack this question. Series: SENT https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/wordsoflife

In this final episode of Skeptics Welcome, Captain Ken Argot addresses the questions surrounding the end of days. From what took place in AD 70 to whether you’re a post millennialist or pre, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.   Series: SKEPTICS WELCOME https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/wordsoflife

Why Hasn’t Jesus Returned?

We’ve probably all heard the question, “If there’s an island of people who never hear about Jesus, do they go to hell when they die?” In this episode of Skeptics Welcome, Captain Ken Argot discusses this question along with many that revolve around a seemingly violent God.   Series: SKEPTICS WELCOME https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/wordsoflife

What Happens to Those Who Never Hear of Jesus?

Spoiler alert- Ken doesn’t give a number, but rather discusses the various theologies behind this topic.   Series: SKEPTICS WELCOME https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/wordsoflife

How Many Sins Does It Take to Lose Your Salvation?

Continuing with last week’s message, this week Ken discusses denominations. Why are there so many? Who has the “correct” interpretation of scripture? Why can’t we agree?   Series: SKEPTICS WELCOME https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/wordsoflife

Which Denomination is Right?

In this episode, Ken Argot addresses this question, “Can I be a Christian and Disagree with the Bible?” In this conversation we see that, quite often, it’s not scripture we disagree with but rather someone’s interpretation of scripture.   Series: SKEPTICS WELCOME https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/wordsoflife

Can a Christian Disagree with the Bible?

There are over 100 Billion, (yes, billion) Bibles sold or given away around the world each year. While no one can deny the popularity of the Bible, in today’s episode, Ken discusses the question, “Can the Bible be Trusted?”   Series: SKEPTICS WELCOME https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/wordsoflife

Can the Bible Be Trusted?
