Whole Faith Marcus & Jessa Myer Welcome to The Whole Faith Podcast, where we go deep into the things of God. We're your hosts, Marcus and Jessa Myer - a husband-and-wife team passionate about pursuing and telling the Truth. The more we study Scripture, the more we experience the ever-growing joy and pleasure found only in Jesus. We’ve been doing ministry together for the past 15 years, and one thing we’ve seen over and over again is that so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are desperately hungry for a deeper teaching of God’s Word. In each episode, we explore theology, doctrine, and practical wisdom that every believer should have the confidence to pursue. Join us as we uncover essential truths from Scripture and tackle difficult, sometimes controversial questions to provide you with biblical answers. Where the Enemy wants to keep the Church in a place of shallow faith and theological insecurity, our hope is that these conversations will equip you with boldness and assurance! Now, let’s grow deeper together Jew and Gentile Radio™ Jew and Gentile Radio David HaLevy and Aaron Marshall, a Jew, and a Gentile, take on some of the most challenging topics in the pursuit of truth, no matter where it leads. No subject is off the table. Does truth exist? Does God exist? Are miracles possible? Is the Bible reliable? Does God speak today? Did giants once roam the earth? Who should we vote for? Do politics even matter? All this and so much more on the Jew and Gentile Show!#christianpodcast #jewishpodcast #israelipodcast #messianic #israel #apologetics #apologeticpodcast #truthpodcast #conspiracy #pbdpodcast #valuetainment #joeroganpodcast #billmaher #atheism #theism #russlebrandpodcast #jordanpetersonpodcast #frankturek #bestpodcast #bestchristianpodcast #bestpoliticalpodcast #truth #faithpodcast #faith #dennisprager #prageru Heritage College and Seminary Heritage College and Seminary Heritage College and Seminary is a theological institution in Ontario, Canada.
