WAA Podcast Episode 50: The Holidays and Myths About Church Dropouts (1:19:56)

Welcome to the 50th podcast episode of "What's an Adventist?"


The majority of Adventists celebrate the holiday season with their friends, families and churches. Within Adventism it is encouraged to take the opportunity to reflect on the gift of Christ as well as find opportunities to reach out to others who are less fortunate. One of Adventism's founders wrote "When you have a holiday, make it a pleasant and happy day for your children, and make it also a pleasant day for the poor and afflicted. Do not let the day pass without bringing thanksgiving and thank offerings to Jesus."


This week on WAA, Jesse Sias and Abraham Miranda, with the help of our WAA listeners, spread some holiday cheer by talking about some of the things Adventists do during the holidays and what some of our listeners are thankful for. Jesse and Abraham also talk about some of the myths around why young adults drop out of church. (Click on title to hear podcast)

We also want to thank the Lord for blessing this ministry and for giving us an opportunity to share our faith in this manner. WAA will be back in 2012 with more topics, guests, and commentaries.

WAA Podcast Episode 49: Fundamental Belief 3: The Father (58:14)

Welcome to another podcast episode of "What's an Adventist?"

Ever think of God as a Father? Well Jesus did. Jesus taught his followers over and over again to look to the Father as the source of all things and to trust in His care. Even Jesus himself prayed earnestly to the Father for guidance and sustainability. No wonder that Jesus taught us to depend on a heavenly Father for all of our needs.  The Bible teaches us that "God the eternal Father is the Creator, Source, Sustainer, and Sovereign of all creation. He is just and holy, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. The qualities and powers exhibited in the Son and the Holy Spirit are also revelations of the Father. (Gen. 1:1; Rev. 4:11; 1 Cor. 15:28; John 3:16; 1 John 4:8; 1 Tim. 1:17; Ex. 34:6, 7; John 14:9.)

This week Jesse Sias and Abraham Miranda continue a podcast series on the fundamental beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and talk with Adventist Pastor Tony Gonzales about Fundamental Belief 3: God the Father. Pastor Gonzales helps us explore this part of God's nature as revealed in the Bible and reminds us that our heavenly Father is truly a person who is interested in each one of us.
