Love is Calling
Drawing on faith in Christ, I discuss the challenges of life along with the victory and true freedom available in belief in Jesus alone. Born again in 1987, I have traveled a road that has taken many paths and has at times been very traumatic. Raised in a dysfunctional family, sexually abused at a young age, separated from parents at times, along with the devastation that comes from decades in a fellowship which became a religious cult, it felt like the fear, guilt and shame was irreversible and simply my lot in life. But God! God has opened my eyes to the amazing truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Him crucified, and who I am in Him. My identity as a blood bought child of the Living God, through no work on my part other than simply coming to Him in faith, obliterates the religious requirements of man, and HIs great love has set me free from the fear, guilt and shame of my past. If He can change my trajectory from barely existing to victorious, He can do the same for you. -Banner Kidd

I've taught through the letter that Paul wrote to the Galatians more than once, putting words in Paul's mouth and assigning meaning that isn't contextually accurate with all his letters nor with the gospel accounts, nor the entire context of the whole counsel of God from Genesis to Revelation. I have been delivered from that and the Spirit has given me revelation of Jesus to teach Galatians for the amazing message of freedom from the law and a loving dependence upon the Spirit of God by faith in Jesus Christ in His finished work. I hope you will join me with an open heart and mind.

The Apostle Paul went through immense hard times, beaten to within an inch of his life 5 times, and more! But he was assured by vision of what God had in store for him. Whatever you face in life, and we face a lot under this curse that we have inherited, if you're born again into the royal family of God through Jesus Christ, you have a paradise awaiting you. I'll be 69 years old in about 23 days and I've seen and experienced a lot of tragedy, death of a child, decades in a legalistic manipulative cult, and I can testify that Jesus has seen me through it all! And I know, being assured of by faith that paradise with Jesus awaits me. And He will walk through this life with me, comfort me, and receive me into His loving arms when my time comes. If He did that

Beginning to dig into Galatians Chapter One, we travel through Verse 10, keeping the context of Paul's calling and equipping as an apostle being by God and through God and not by and through men. Man tends to add to and subtract from what God has already said and done. When Jesus said, "It is finished," somehow we heard, "I'm finished, except...." There is no except. There is nothing man can add. Works to attain, the law, the rules of your church or mine, or what is added by a pastor, teacher, preacher, Bible college or seminary is not only not needed, but it is in the way and precludes the finished work of Christ. It is a gospel that is no gospel at all. Join me as we continue this exciting look at the letter to the Galatians.

Looking back into the past and recognizing how past experiences had a part in setting me up and making me ripe to join in and even lead a cult brings some understanding the Apostle Paul's letter to the Galatians. His is a full throated declaration of independence from the legalism of the religion of Judaism. In my experience, I believe I can clearly identify with him and his message. Today, as then, there is a variation called "Messianic Judaism," that attempts to add keeping the "law of Moses," to the simple gospel of Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Please join me as we look at the Letter to the Galatians, verse by verse, and hear what the Spirit is telling us through His apostle.

Love is Calling
A Cult. Death. Tragedy. Victory
Life is relentless and impartial in its seemingly endless march. Alone, we're helpless to the events that seem to upend our lives. But, through all that life throws at us, in faith in Christ Jesus and God's great love, we are more than conquerors.
-Romans 8:35-39
