This was a difficult episode to record and it will no doubt be difficult to listen to. Especially if you followed the ministry of Ravi Zacharias and held him in high regard, as we did.

It was recently revealed through allegations and a subsequent investigation by RZIM and a third-party law firm that Ravi had participated in an ongoing scheme of sexual abuse against multiple women. This news came close on the heels of his death last year from cancer.

Please take the time to listen to the entire episode, including the victim's statement that we...

Oneness believers have often been accused of being Modalists. This is not a new argument, it's been going on for nearly 2,000 years.

Is this accusation fair?

What exactly is Modalism?

Do modern, Oneness Pentecostals actually believe in Modalism?

We address these questions and more in this episode.

In previous episodes, we've discussed some verses that may have been misused in the Oneness vs. Trinity and some verses that, when used in context, are less than ideal for either side.

In this episode, we continue a previous discussion of the nature of God, specifically in regard to the doctrines of Oneness and the Trinity. We started this conversation back in 2019 but held off on releasing the rest of the series, due to our desire to give the subject the treatment it deserves. We are finally ready to have the discussion at length.

In this episode, which is basically part 2 of the series introduction, we discuss some reasons why this series is necessary, both for our oneness and trinitarian listeners.

A quick update from Jaredith.

We are kicking off 2020 a little late, but with some big plans!

We had some technical issues with this recording. We were able to fix most of those, but among our plans for 2020 is an upgrade to our recording equipment.

In this episode, we discuss some of our personal accomplishments (and big changes) in 2019 and share some plans for the future. We have some exciting guests that have committed to being interviewed this year.

2020 holds some exciting things and we hope you will all come along for the ride!

In this episode, we attempt to lay a groundwork for our discussion of the nature of God, specifically in regards to the doctrines of Oneness and the Trinity.

We wanted to take the time to lay out our intentions because of the sensitive nature of the topic. It's too easy to use words as weapons when dealing with deeply held beliefs.

We think that we can do better.

As Oneness believers, we want to be taken seriously by Trinitarian believers and we believe that the inverse is true, as well. Too many times I've...

**CAVEAT**
**We are very critical of some practices of the church and even more critical of some of the unBiblical aspects of church culture. It is not our intention to offend ANY of our listeners, whether Apostolics, other Pentecostals, Baptists, Catholics, etc. What we do want to do is challenge ALL of our listeners to rethink orthodoxy in light of Scripture. We are especially hard on Apostolics but that is only because we love the church we are a part of and want to hold it to the highest standard. We believe there is a Biblical precedent for this...
