In this Gospel Revolution podcast, Mike Williams and Glenn Klein started off the discussion with the historic announcement by Barack Obama that he believed all people should be able to get married regardless of same-sex or opposite-sex couples. It was historic because Barack Obama is the first American President to ever make that statement. Dena Brehm of Dallas, Oregon also called in to discuss religious child abuse and Mike brought up raising children according to the Bible and specifically according to Proverbs. He and Dena both found it was a great mistake and Mike pointed out that Solomon, the author of Proverbs, later wrote that it was all "vanity"...it doesn't work...it is wrong...it is abuse. Thanks to Grant Miller who called in from North Manchester, Indiana to tell us that he came to understand that Jesus was the last Adam that took away the sin of the first Adam and that was the remission of sin for us all, he just decided to believe it and his heart soon followed. Grant not only believed it, he started to live it and feel it. Thanks also to Doug Bowman of Littlerock, Arkansas for calling in about another issue of religious child abuse: telling a child that unless they do something, i.e., accept Jesus, or whatever else, they will go to hell - that's child abuse. Finally, we want to wish Moses Ngata and all the Gospel Revolutionaries in Kenya AMANI (peace)!

ORIGINALLY AIRED 4 APRIL 2012: In this Gospel Revolution podcast, Mike Williams and Glenn Klein started out the conversation about how Mike first started preaching the Gospel in the early '80's and it boiled down to a concept of we were all sinners because of the sin of Adam and we were all made righteous because of the righteousness of the Last Adam (Jesus Christ). Our guest on this podcast was Ivan Rogers, the author of the book "Dropping Hell and Embracing Grace." Ivan has been a pastor for over 60 years and now is 82 years young. For decades, Ivan taught the commonly accepted message of evangelical Christianity that taught a fear of hell. Ivan was quite gracious and revealing in explaining some of Christianity's history with a doctrine of hell and the final outcome of the interview resulted in the subject that "all" were condemned by one man and "ALL WERE REDEEMED BY ONE MAN!" Thanks also to our first-time caller, Brad Wilson and his wife Holly of San Tan Valley, AZ, for their encouragement and gratitude for our work in continuing to get the message of the Gospel out to the world!

In this Gospel Revolution podcast, Mike Williams and Glenn Klein addressed an email question from Steven Ames of Agoura, California. He asked about the meaning of Hebrews 9:28 and commented that it sounded like "the so-called second coming". Mike pointed out that Jesus would appear without sin at his coming again which was when he rose from the dead. That was the "coming" that was spoken of. Thanks to long-time friend Ken Vanderveer of Atwood, Oklahoma, Dena Brehm of Dallas, Oregon, Dena Morgan of Noblesville, Indiana and Girma Colston of Stratford, Virginia for calling in and contributing to this Gospel conversatation.

In this Gospel Revolution podcast, Mike Williams explains early in the show that, because he embraces the Gospel of Jesus Christ, he can no longer call himself a Christian. A key point to the news that the Gospel announces is that Christ has made all mankind "One". There is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free... Christian or non-Christian in the verdict of God based on the work of his son, Jesus Christ. Thanks to Moses Ngata of Kenya for emailing us with a question and requesting that we play "Together As One" by Lucky Dube. Thanks also to Shane Windorski of Weston, Wisconsin and Krisan Panther of Waterloo, Iowa for calling in and sharing their freedom with us tonight!

In this Gospel Revolution podcast, Mike Williams and Glenn Klein talked about suicide in a way that would not be heard from many in Christian circles. The issue of recognizing self-pity was highlighted as a big problem for people and Mike noted it is not easily recognized either. We heard via email from the President of The Gospel Revolution School of the Scriptures in Kenya, Moses Ngata. We were overjoyed to hear all the names of the "students" of the school and even more overjoyed to hear that pastors are actually seeking Gospel information "by night" in the region. Special thanks to Richard Mull of Garden Grove, CA for sharing powerful truth of the Gospel with us tonight and for expressing his own opinion of what Creflo Dollar preaches and coined the expression "Craplo Dollar." Also thanks to Kim Baker of Lihue, HI for his question tonight.

In this Gospel Revolution podcast, Mike Williams and Glenn Klein talked about the fact that the Gospel does nothing, BUT it is the good news, and as one of our callers tonight, James Taylor said, the good news "meditated on me"! The Gospel is news, but as that news sinks in, it frees us from judgment and guilt. The result of the relief of those heavy weights is that we can deal with things in this life no matter how they turn out. Thanks to Moses Ngata, for all he is doing in Kenya. Thanks to Lee Lau Sung of Hong Kong for sharing his love for the Gospel to add to his monthly contributions to get this message out to the world. It's because of Lee Lau and others, we are doing just that! Thanks also to Jackie Barnard for calling in from Huachuca City, AZ for asking about the "Great Commission" in Matthew 28 and pointing out the fact it was not original text, and thanks to Tom Tonsky of Canton, OH for emailing in promptly that it was never in any of the earlier or even much later manuscripts of Matthew. For more, you must listen.

In this Gospel Revolution podcast, Mike and Glenn had a couple big announcements. We are going to start a new publishing company called "Geneva Press", which will not only publish Mike's upcoming book "One - The Gospel According to Mike", but is poised to provide a platform for other Gospel Revolutionaries who are also prolific writers to publish their works and insight into the Gospel. We are also excited to announce that we will provide Moses Gachau Ngata of Kenya with all the materials we have to offer to instruct and share the Gospel in Kenya. Thanks to Pep Washburn for calling in from Marshfield, WI as well as Shane Windorski from Weston, WI, Jackie Barnard from Huachuca City, AZ, and Tom Tonsky from Canton, OH.

In this Gospel Revolution podcast, Glenn Klein and Mike Williams kicked of the 2012 Start of Spring Pledge Drive with all the reasons why someone should not religiously pledge to support our efforts. Not exactly a way to manipulate someone to give, but just the way we like it. It does take supporters to cover the thousands of dollars it costs every year to provide hundreds of hours of free podcasts and other things we do to get the Gospel out, but we don't manipulate anyone at all. That's unfortunately the tactic of the many internationally known ministries mentioned in this podcast. We want to thank Howard Wirch of Dauphin, Manitoba for sharing a little diddy of a re-rendered version of "Jesus Loves Me" and his financial contribution as well. We also want to thant Marcus Deel of Kihei, Hawaii on the great island of Maui for contributing to the show as the devil's advocate. Special thanks also to Peggy and Jesse Zuniga for calling in from Waterfield, Maryland for sharing their love of the Gospel and also making a financial pledge.

In this Gospel Revolution podcast, Mike Williams and Glenn Klein open the show with a commentary on a joke gone bad by an Australian interviewer who tried to tell the Dalai Lama a joke about "being made one." The poor interviewer flopped because the Dalai Lama, even with the help of a translator didn't get the gist of the joke. Mike picked up on the theme of "One" and related it to and equation of "One" found in the Gospel. That equation is simply that one man, Adam, sinned, and the One Man, The Last Adam, Jesus obeyed. That is the ultimate equation because through the first Adam's sin, all were dead in him, but all who were dead in the first Adam were made alive in the Last Adam. We were raised in him and made one. Not only one with everything, but one with God. Ergo the title: Flood of Righteousness. That flood came through the flood of grace for all humanity in the work of Christ by the grace of God. That grace brought righteousness and grace, like a flood of water poured into every crevice of every rock and and unreachable place to NO END and brought righteousness to humanity and all creation. We want to thank Jan Heller of Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin, Kookie Davida of Castor, Alberta, and Marjorie House of Fenelon Falls, Ontario for calling in and contributing so much more. We also want to send out a special thanks to Moses Ngata of Kenya, who walks over 40 miles (60 kilometers) just to get internet access and listen to the Gospel Revolution. Moses has been a priceless contributor to the Gospel and this revolution!

In this Gospel Revolution podcast, Mike Williams and Glenn Klein discussed the recent tornadoes in Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and Alabama. They also discussed comments made by televangelist Pat Robertson, who when talking about theses same tornadoes on a recent broadcast and said it was the fault of the people who were hit by these tornadoes for building houses "where tornadoes occur". Mike and Glenn both discussed the "flip-flop" positions Pat Robertson takes on such issues because in this particular episode Robertson said God did not send them, but we know that in other natural and man-made disasters, he said they were the judgment of God. We want to thank Matt Perry of Ackworth, Georgia, Jeannie Hope of Edmonton, Alberta and Jesse and Peggy Zuniga of Waterfield, Maryland for calling in with their refreshing and inspiring contributions that so greatly enriched this show!
