In this episode, Jay Fettig sits down with returning guest Joshua Collins to discuss the simplicity of the Gospel. They delve into the Hebrew definition of love and its connection to the second greatest commandment, highlighting the distinction between worldly love, which can be manipulative, and God's unconditional love. The conversation explores how we respond to God's love, and how we can practically implement it in our daily lives. They also touch on the idea of being set apart and how our actions can transform the world, referencing the story of Paul in the Bible and the concept of being grafted in and born again. They challenge the idea that we often get caught up in rule-following, and instead, encourage viewers to ask themselves if people see Jesus through their actions. This thought-provoking episode will inspire you to re-examine your relationship with God and how you can live out His love in a practical way.

Join Wayburn Dean and host Jay as they delve into the transformative power of song, from Grammy-winning heights to the unexpected depths of prison ministry. With 35 years of singing experience, Wayburn shares his first prison encounter, where he witnessed something he'd never seen before - authentic and spiritual worship that transcended the prison walls. But what is the real purpose of music? Is it to evoke a feeling or to play to the audience of One? Jay reflects on the albums he used to listen to growing up and how not all music today is of God. He also tackles tough questions, like which Psalms are invalid because of David's sins, and how to lose the Spirit of God. Through his story, Wayburn Dean illustrates the dangers of pride and the importance of seeking a genuine connection with God, even in the darkest of places.

Join Jay Fettig and guest Steve Vander Molen on this episode of The Rules & Tools Podcast as they seek to understand God's plan and share a remarkable story of faith and loss. Steve takes us back to 2024, when his family embarked on a 1,000-mile snowmobile trip in Northern Canada. The dramatic turn of events at mile 26 changed everything. Jay and Steve dive into the heart-wrenching experience of when Steve's cousin died for 18 minutes, and how they reacted to the situation. Steve shares his initial desire for God to spare his life, but how God's plan was different from his own. They explore how this experience ultimately led to Steve's cousin's best friend coming to faith and how it relates to God's plan in Scripture. This inspiring conversation highlights the difference between our hope and God's ways, and how, in some situations, we may never understand God's plan until we reach heaven. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on trusting in God's sovereignty and finding purpose in trials.

In this video, we're discussing the importance of discernment in our walk with Christ. How can we spot an impostor, and what are the signs of someone who diminishes the power of Jesus? We'll explore how Thomas's doubt was addressed by Jesus, and how this relates to the concept that "greater is the one who has not seen yet believes." We'll also examine the common misconception that archeology "proves the Bible is true," why this would make archeology the ultimate truth, and why this line of thinking can be problematic. Have you disrespected the sovereignty of God Almighty in your life? We'll discuss the importance of honoring God's authority and why inviting Him to come in is not a biblical concept. Finally, we'll also be discussing the divisions in the church and how this affects our witness to the world. We hope you enjoy this message!
