Recap. The now, 14-week study dissecting covenant, marriage, and divorce via a biblical interpretation. These three concepts play a vital role in our society creating identity, legacy, and spiritual covering. How does divorce change our identity? How does marriage contribute to our livelihood? This episode recaps all the topics we have discussed over the last few weeks to grow in our understanding of making/breaking covenant.
"The host contrasts covenant and marriage, discusses submission and sacrificial love, and examines the spiritual consequences and hope of forgiveness under Christ's sacrifice. Speaking personally, the host shares struggles, challenges, and practical questions about maturity, obedience, and reconciliation, urging listeners to evaluate their own commitments, grow in humility and forgiveness, and protect the covenantal unity of marriage."

Hosea 1-3. We are now entering the third phase of our series Covenant breaking down the concept of divorce. Covenant begins with God, but He is also your first and greatest offense when getting divorce. What does it mean to be unfaithful to God? This episode breaks down the visible example of adultery in our modern world. Can same sex marriage honor God? The word says the two shall become one flesh, yet a soul tie is an adjoining of two not a unification to be one. Special guest, Megan Calderin will share her testimony as a visible compilation of the series, rejecting same sex marriage while embracing the love of Christ by way of covenant. The powerful moment when God, the originator of covenant sets her free from the bondage of homosexuality, proclaiming “who the Son sets free, is free indeed!”.  A powerful encounter with God and an amazing display of his justice, his mercy, and his love. Join us today in spreading the God who is at work even to this day, here at The Mill Press!

John 10:7-9 & John 10:14-16. You do not overcome spiritual forces by force, but by the identity Christ has perfected in you. In covenant we come to understand, the Lord is the originator, the sustainer, and the finisher of covenant. A man washes a wife with the word, and the Word made flesh washes us with his blood, that we can receive a new identity. This episode explores Gods global plan for salvation and defines the invisible proof of covenant. God’s intention has always been global, but constantly we see hostility and war amidst his creation, how then can we be as one under God? Jesus has redeemed the promise and law to be as one for those found inside covenant.

Deuteronomy 21:15-17. Spiritual warfare is a daily part of life. This, however, is usually engaged with a narrow point of view from what history defines as war. Spiritual warfare is as hostile as you’d expect war to be. There is an imposing force setting itself against the kingdom of God and His citizens. This is seen in the descendancy of Isaac and Ishmael, two brothers claiming rights to the land, an inheritance and its possessions. What are the legal proceedings of spiritual warfare? What is inherently yours, and what needs to be taken? This episode explores the legal distinction when engaging spirits in everyday life. Jesus, the firstborn of all creation coming to redeem, fulfill, and take possession of the land. Spiritual Warfare is biproduct of sin, and a reflection of disbelief in the word of God. Abram was told he would receive an heir who will inherit "the great reward" the presence of God after denouncing material possessions. Yet, he was unfaithful to the promise of God, and conceived Ishmael, likewise our doubt conceives situations that call for warfare. Your every spiritual struggle is tied to a material wanting (your heart), yet the righteous will live by faith. Where does your practice of faith begin in this material world? How do we approach a life holiness while living amidst a sin filled world? You fight!

Genesis Chapters 14-17. Covenant begins with God who calls you by name. Yet, many individuals in the bible went through a spiritual rebirth, which included new name to bring about their purpose. As a wife takes on a new name and along with her husbands possessions, so are those who enter into covenant with God. How then, can we be certain of the identity given to us? Abram became Abraham, Sarai became Sarah, Jacob became Israel, and Simon became Peter. The bible is filled with individuals whose name is defined by their character. In a world of constant validation, how do we break away from the identity crisis that causes us to lose our inheritance? Abram had a son by a slave woman named Ishamael, and palestine was born. Abraham had a son by his wife Sarah named Isaac, and Israel was born. These two brothers have been at war through generations, each declaring their rightful inheritance. This episode will discuss the spiritual rights of ownership in spiritual warfare. The gaining of territory versus the inheritance we receive, not by works, but through the dead of another. This is a foreshadow of our great inheritance, the gift of salvation, the promised Messiah born to us in this Christmas season 2,025 years ago.
