Jesus' Outsider

The mantra is, "Men don't sing." Countless articles, programs, and talking heads in the worship world tell us that men in the congregation just will not sing. Experience seems to line up with this idea. Perhaps we need to be asking what will men engage with when it comes to music? Is there a way for a Real Man to sing? ©2019 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

Our culture has changed. We're no longer living in an environment that supports the church. In fact, if they think of us at all, it's with hostility. In this climate, who are we to be? It's time to get back to the basics and rediscover what it means to be a holy nation and to live Christ's mandate that we be one. However, there are some caveats on that unity from the Word we need to address for the health of the Body. ©2019 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

Our culture has changed dramatically in recent years. It's the most turbulent and divided it's been in my memory. This brings up the question, have we passed the tipping point, the point of no return? What role, if any, would a revival play in transforming the culture? Will we see a Christian nation, or at least Christian friendly nation again? ©2019 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

Abortion is a huge issue for our culture and recent developments in politics have made the lines clearer than they have been in decades. However, the reality of abortion is more than just a political talking point or part of a candidate's platform. There's a very real personal side of it. In studio is a special guest, My Lovely Bride and Pastoral Care Director for Jesus' Outsider Ministries Kimberly Kerby, sharing her experience with abortion and talking about how we can handle women who have had or are considering one. ©2019 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

There are times when we must stand up. When evil runs rampant in the land, truth must ring against it. Abortion has become a sacred thing to a large segment of the American culture. What is there at its root? There is more than meets the eye to this issue. ©2019 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

They look innocent. Most of you have them on your phones or use them all the time. However, these apps and sites can be some of the biggest gateways to pornographic content available. There are common denominators to all of them that can be used to screen them. Parents, teachers, pastors, and anyone interested in sexual purity need this information. ©2019 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

Have you ever really considered this wonderous salvation? I'm not asking if you're following Christ with that question. This isn't about evangelism. The question asks you, Christian, if you've ever really thought about or studied salvation. Even touching on it is overwhelming. ©2019 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

When I was young in the faith, back in the early 90's, there was a question I heard asked so often it became a cliche. "You say Jesus is your Savior but is He your Lord?" Now, years later, that question is on my mind again but with a difference. Part one of Faith ©2019 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

At the end of a year of challenges and triumphs, has God still shown Himself faithful? We return to the air with more of our story from this year and how it continues into the next. There might even be a little Scripture in there just for good measure. ©2018 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

At Christmas time, the line between the secular and sacred often becomes blurred in the minds of many Christians. This is especially true with music as Christmas carols and hymns are sung by both secular and Christian artists. A recent popular version of "Mary Did You Know" by a secular singing group has caused a stir and some controversy. Should it have? Does sin in the life of a performer negate the beauty of the performance? (From The Archives, Original Broadcast Date: December 15, 2014)

How arrogant we humans are! So often are we caught up in our expectations and schedules that we miss what's right in front of us. In Part 2 of Scheduled Miracles & Other Madness, we continue to look at things the modern church does that conflict with God's ways out of our good intentions and desire to see His glory on Earth rather than open rebellion. We also seek to find the Lord where He actually resides. (From The Archives, Original Broadcast Date April 28, 2013)

In what turned out to be part one of a series, we look at some of the bad (and mostly unScriptural) habits the church has fallen into. If the truth be told, some of these have really been bothering me for a while and, if I read some blogs correctly, I'm not alone. Some of these are specific to certain movements within the church but a lot of them apply to everyone. (From The Archives, Original Broadcast Date April 25, 2013) 

Our culture is full of double standards, some real, some perceived. There are many movements that are attempting to counter these standards, often with disastrous results. Most of these are counter to the truth of Scripture, but there is one that is Biblical. It might surprise you. (From The Archives, Original Broadcast date: April 24th, 2015)

Why do we need to talk about all this dark stuff? There is a need to understand what it is to be as wise as a serpent yet harmless as a dove. There is a reason to bring the deeds of darkness into the light. (From The Archives, Original Broadcast Date: 07-31-2014)

It's become a dirty word. We don't like to say it much less actually think about it. Don't you dare say the O-word! (From The Archives, Original Broadcast Date: April 11, 2018) ©2016 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

It's election season again. This is one of the most challenging times to be a Christ follower. This isn't about who to vote for but about how to handle the debate. No matter who you support, remember our real job here. (From The Archives, Originally Broadcast February 1st, 2016) ©2016 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

Violence is rising again, much of it political. In the face of it and the shooting at the synagogue in Pittsburgh, I could not remain silent. No matter your political views, If you claim the name of Christ, this message is for you.  ©2018 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

The relocation to Nashville has afforded a new opportunity, the chance to visit churches not knowing a soul. Experiencing a true first time visitor reception in several churches has been a bit of an eye opener. There have been things done right and others, not so much. ©2018 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

Throughout this past several months, Jesus' Outsider and our household have been going through a lot of changes. This week, we're updating you on where things are and further testimony of God's faithfulness. You will be encouraged by His actions in our lives and see how He will move in yours. ©2018 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

Our testimony is one of the most powerful tools in we have in sharing the Gospel. Mine isn't a pretty one, but it's a tale of redemption that may encourage you. If Jesus can take hold of and transform me from what I once was, He can reach anyone. Part two is the change He has wrought in me. Part 2 of 2 (From The Archives, Original Air Date: 03-21-2012)
