No Doubt No Fear Only Believe | Christian Podcast | Bible Study & Testimony to Encourage Believers | Greg Ryan |
Greg Ryan
I created this podcast to encourage believers to follow a perfect example with imperfect actions and results using the Bible as your guide.

When you listen, you will learn perfection is not the goal, and it has never been. You are the hero of your story, and God wan ...

What role will AI really play in the future of our civilization? This question has been haunting me over the past few weeks.

343 In this episode, I talk about how the world is trying to make life easy, but Jesus said the way to life is difficult and there are few who find it. I teach that taking steps of faith is simple (so simple a child can understand it) but Jesus doesn't say it will be easy. One of the biggest struggles most Christians face is they are in a hurry. He…

342 In this episode, I talk about the one thing you and I can do to begin to walk by faith. Here's a big surprise...It's getting into the word of God.

As soon as Jesus heard the word spoken, He said to the ruler …

328 In this episode, I turn to Father Abraham to teach about why he is called the father of faith. I use Galatians 3:5-9 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Just as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Therefore k…

327 In this episode, I continue teaching about faith by asking two questions. What is the Law of Faith? What Concepts of Your Faith Need to Change? I use Romans 3:27,28 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of Works? No, but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. a…

326 In this episode, I continue to teach about faith by asking what faith looks like. Faith is a complex topic but being about to "see" faith will help you understand how to walk by faith and not by sight.

325 In this episode, I continue to teach about faith and I use a Bible verse from Luke to help us understand why faith should matter to Christians.

Nevertheless, when …

324 In this episode, I finish talking about the three questions you, and I need to answer before we begin to walk by faith and not by sight.

I believe the answer is found in Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This is a huge topic and I will use many episodes to try and explain fa…

319 In this episode, I finish my lessons on what changes I would make if I were in charge of the modern church.

318 In this episode, I finish the section on unity with the two things the body of Christ must do to walk in unity. There may be more than two things needed, but in my life, less is more, and simple is easier to implement than complicated. The two areas are abiding in the word of God and walking in love. Sounds pretty simple but it will take the Ho…
