The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love Everything that was done at Sound Doctrine Church was by the power of God’s selfless love and you turned that into something vile I mean after all Prosecutor Simmons objected to us having an abuse prevention policy in place at the church What he said was well why is it so necessary in a church so small that you have an abuse prevention policy That’s just madness That’s even the standard in most churches is that the Sunday school teachers get a background check And we even did the minimum but we went on with the power of God Everybody kept everybody in count Everybody knew what was going on walking in line But he’s picking it out like it was an evil twisted thing when it wasn’t Correct But what kind of vile Darkness has to be Judge Lori K Smith would let that kind of insinuating type thing like having and a jury sitting there hearing that like he’s attacking an abuse without any evidence Okay what’s the evidence that that was somehow something evil It’s just a question it’s satanic in nature.

Can betrayal and deceit dismantle a longstanding religious community and publishing powerhouse? Witness the incredible unraveling of Sound Doctrine Church and Winepress Publishing, where insider sabotage and exploitation of trust set the stage for a dramatic downfall. As Enumclaw Police seemingly turned a blind eye to harassment and threats, church members faced not only external pressures but also treachery from within. Cora, a former IT department member, took betrayal to new heights, undermining the company with malicious intent and causing chaos in one of the most trying times for the employees. His actions were just the beginning of a larger scheme that would forever change the future for Winepress and its authors.

Enter Jezebel, who saw opportunity in the chaos and leveraged inside knowledge to seize control of Winepress's creative assets. With cunning legal strategies and manipulation, she founded a new publishing company using stolen works while masquerading as a trustworthy figure in the Christian market. This episode exposes her hollow triumphs and the trail of shattered dreams she left behind. From exploiting the vulnerability of a community to her lack of originality, we unravel how she managed to convince former Winepress authors to rebrand their works under her new imprint. Join us for a riveting exploration of how trust was manipulated and creativity was stolen, leading to a victory that was as empty as it was audacious.

What happens when religious freedom meets the heavy hand of the law? Our latest episode takes you through the tumultuous journey of the Sound Doctrine Church in Enumclaw, Washington, where the church's traditional Christian practices have come under the judicial microscope. Allegations suggest a disturbing pattern of manipulation by Prosecutor Simmons and his team, targeting the church for its unique and devout practices, such as the "poor boxes" initiative. This case raises profound questions about justice and religious liberty, challenging us to rethink how faith-based communities are often misunderstood and misjudged within the legal system.

Tune in to explore how believers are called to transcend worldly influences and embrace a more meaningful Christ Mass.

Are the rules guiding your faith actually holding you back? Join us as we tackle the intriguing concept of "likable legalism" in Christian faith, exploring how a seemingly harmless adherence to specific principles can become a pitfall, much like the practices of the Pharisees and Sadducees. You’ll gain insight into how even well-meaning religious frameworks can mirror the rigidity of bygone eras, offering comfort but potentially stifling true spiritual growth. This episode promises to challenge your perspective on what it truly means to live a faith-driven life beyond the confines of legalistic norms.

By examining biblical figures like Solomon and the initial journeys of the disciples, we shed light on how "likable legalism" can subtly shape our attitudes and actions, often without us realizing. We’ll contrast the notion of living by one’s strength as opposed to being transformed by the Holy Spirit, highlighting examples from contemporary churches to everyday life. You’ll hear how even those outside the religious sphere might adopt similar moral frameworks, using them as anchors amidst moral ambiguity, all while missing the deeper transformation faith offers.

As we move forward, we embrace the idea of surpassing the comfort of rule-based living by seeking a deeper relationship with Christ. By drawing from the teachings of John the Baptist and Jesus’ disciples, we emphasize the necessity of spiritual maturity and good stewardship. We also delve into the nature of godly marriage, urging listeners to prioritize spiritual growth over rigid conventions. Prepare to be inspired to lay down the legalistic safety net and journey toward a complete surrender that welcomes both the joys and challenges of true faith.
