• Episode #6 Voting Your Values: Bibles: Free Speech, and Tech Companies
    Nov 2 2024

    Welcome to real-life ministries and our series Voting Your Values. In the final episode, we discuss the critical importance of freedom of speech and religion. The First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." 1 Peter 3:15 encourages Christians to "Always be prepared to answer everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." The First Commandment, "You shall have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3), underscores the importance of individual faith and the freedom to worship.

  • Episode #5 Voting Your Values: Bullets, Gun control, Gun myths
    Oct 24 2024

    Welcome to real-life ministry. In this episode we explore the right to self-defense, this episode examines the Second Amendment: "The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Romans 13:4 supports the role of authority in maintaining order. Jesus' instruction to His disciples to "buy a sword" (Luke 22:36) highlights the implication of being prepared for self-defense in a world where threats may exist. The commandment "You shall not kill" (Exodus 20:13) relates to the moral imperative of protecting life, suggesting that self-defense is a legitimate right when life is threatened.

  • Episode #3 Voting Your Values: Building Blocks: Marriage, Family and Children
    Oct 10 2024

    Welcome to real-life ministries! In this Voting Your Values episode, we discuss the fundamental institutions of marriage, family, and children. The Constitution's Tenth Amendment affirms that powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved for the states and the people. In Genesis 1:28, the creation mandate calls for humanity to "be fruitful and multiply," emphasizing the importance of family and the continuation of society. Ephesians 6:1-4 reinforces the significance of family: "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right." The Fifth Commandment, "Honor your father and your mother" (Exodus 20:12), underscores the importance of familial respect and structure.


    We also delve into how the Far Left has been indoctrinating our children through LGBT and the Trans Agenda. Learn how they have infiltrated the public school system, and you, as a parent, can counteract this growing problem.

  • Episode #2 Voting Your Values: Booming Economy: private property, business
    Oct 3 2024

    Welcome to Real Life Ministry and our series Voting Your Values. Today, we discuss what most voters say is the most important issue this election: the Economy and the role of business in society. Today, socialist ideas are prevalent, and the left wishes to abolish private property. On the other hand, the Bible gives examples of why private property is essential and how we should be good stewards of what God gives us.

    Genesis 1:28, the Genesis mandate, states, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it," highlighting our responsibility to cultivate and manage the resources God has given us. Proverbs 22:29 emphasizes the value of skill and diligence in work. The Eighth Commandment, "You shall not steal" (Exodus 20:15), emphasizes respecting property rights and the fruits of one's labor, advocating for the inherent right to possess property.
