This morning, in my time alone with the Lord, I praised Him for how He is using this podcast in my endeavor to "drench" it with biblical truth. Humbled and grateful, I decided to record this episode. From my heart to yours: Dennis

In the previous episode, "It's Time for a History Lesson: the Origin of the Gay Christian: an Example of the Identity Crisis Festering in the Evangelical Church," I said it was one of the most important episodes that I've recorded. This episode continues that theme. You may want to check out "The Gay Christian, Upside-Down Kingdom Bible, and Preston Sprinkle (May 28-29), also "A Call to Preston Sprinkle" (May 29). This episode and the one before it grew out of those episodes. Please print this in your thinking: Jesus died for the sin of homosexuality, and all that defines it. Jesus said,"...repent and believe the gospel" (Mark 1:15). In Acts 3:19, Peter said, "...repent and return that your sins may be wiped away." Paul, in Acts 17:30, said, "God is now declaring to men that people everywhere should repent." In the previous episode, I talked about gay Christianity and its three branches. Revoice and Side A, instead of calling people to repent of same-sex practices, celebrate them. Side B excuses them. Each blocks Jesus' command to repent and believe the gospel - what Paul said God requires of all people everywhere. I believe gay Christianity is the greatest threat to today's evangelical church, especially the children. I pray that God will use this podcast to open eyes to that sad and dark reality - and replace their influence with biblical truth.

This is a long episode - but one of the most important that I've recorded. I am skipping my usual introduction, asking you to jump right to the episode. It will speak for itself. Thanks.

On April 17 and 18, 2024, I recorded "A Prodigal Comes Home" - my personal journey. Of the many episodes I've recorded, they have received the most downloads. On April 29, 2026, I recorded "My Journey to Becoming a Prodigal." It has also received many downloads. The interest is "out there." This is their abridged version, for men and women who served in Christian ministry and became prodigals, as I did: often a symptom of burnout and neglecting our personal spiritual growth, even not knowing how to go about it. In this episode, if you are recovering, I take you to Romans 8:28-39 as the "medicine" for your healing; and if you are still a prodigal, why you can step out of your "personal pigpen" (Luke 15: 11-32) and come home to your Father who waits for you. I am speaking from how applying these amazing verses in my life healed me. From my heart to yours, Dennis. Please check out June 18, the powerful "A Call to Prodigals...and June 2, "What Gave Me the Audacity to Record this Podcast." They align with this episode.

Less than 90 minutes ago, I shared the gospel with a man named Terrence. Please pray for him. As you listen to this podcast, you will know why I am asking.

On May 25th, I recorded "Taking a Beloved Scripture out of Context: John 3:16" (check it out). That's what I had done with Romans 8:28: "God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." I stopped there, as I had done with John 3:16. I should have interpreted 8:28 in light of Romans 8:1 and 8:29-39. Synthesizing these verses as a whole, and all of Romans Chapter 8, taught me how to let go of my regret. If you are haunted by regret, please drench yourself in all of Romans 8. God takes our regret and works it for good: the freedom Jesus' blood paid for and for His glory. Don't shortchange yourself of what Jesus has done for you, as I used to do. Does it hurt Him? It must. Because He loves us. Please check out "What Gave me the Audacity to Record this Podcast?" - especially if God is calling you to minister to His church, or you are there already. It's the forerunner to this episode. I believe living our lives in Romans 8 is the authenticity people sense coming from the pulpit, pastoral care, what they read in Christian books and blogs, and what they hear on Christian podcasts. If the church ever needed authentic biblical ministry from those who live it in their personal lives, now is the day.

On June 16, I recorded: "If Your Relationship with Your Parents Needs Healing, how God Healed my Relationship with my Father may Encourage You." This episode may be more encouraging: a call to send a love letter to someone that could change your life and the person who receives it- like the love letter I talk about in this episode. From my heart to yours, Dennis
