Dewey Bertolini's Podcast

Oh, my friends, you are in for an intellectual and spiritual treat, a veritable banquet table of biblical truth. As you are about to hear in this PODCAST, THIS is where I live. I rather suspect, if I may be so presumptuous, that this is where you live as well. Get ready for a massive amount of encouragement, courtesy of our old friend, Peter.

This humble little PODCAST offering represents an essential, easy-to-follow clinic on how to stand firm against the devil. All courtesy of Peter, of course. A most-practical “how to” on which your spiritual life and mine depends.

(Fun Fact: Of all of the thousands of messages I have given over the years, THIS one is my devoted daughter's all-time-favorite!) “It’s the holiday season.” A statement, as you will hear on this PODCAST, that cuts two ways. For far too many of us, this is not “the most wonderful time of the year.” For you, or someone you know, it’s the loneliest time of the year. But it does not have to be.

As you will hear in this PODCAST, it all comes down to one phrase, three simple, yet-when-taken-together profound words. Get ready for you weekly dose of enriching encouragement. All courtesy of Peter, of course. Please remember that depending upon your web browser and connection speed, it may take up to 60 seconds for this podcast to begin to play.

As you are about to hear in this PODCAST, you and I arrest the attention of the entire Trinity when we come to be characterized by THIS. Want to know what the “this” is in that sentence above? Keep listening. You are in for a blessing for sure. Please remember that depending upon your web browser and connection speed, it may take up to 60 seconds for this podcast to begin to play.

More than a PODCAST; this is a wee bit of a glimpse into the depths of my sizable soul. And perhaps into yours as well. All courtesy of Peter, of course.

This PODCAST will cause you to gather your loved ones a little closer to you, and to hug them a little tighter. A remarkable story indeed, courtesy of our dear old friend, Peter.

May I make a prediction? My prediction is this: As you listen to the PODCAST, you will be awash in waves of encouragement. As you’ll hear, a crazy night to be sure. But one in which Peter’s message of hope and healing came through loud and clear.

You are about to meet, courtesy of Peter and this PODCAST, one of the most remarkable individuals in all of the Bible. A supremely godly servant; yet, a man horribly conflicted. We’ve entitled this message, “The Man Who Forgot to Remember.” We could just as well have entitled it, “Payday Someday.” You are in for a treat and a blessing.

As you will hear in this PODCAST—IRONICALLY and ESPECIALLY in light of the fact that just two days ago was “National Coming Out Day”—Peter’s message to us today could not be more needed, nor more timely. PLEASE listen with an open mind and an open heart. And please remember that depending upon your web browser and connection speed, it may take up to 60 seconds for this podcast to begin to play. God bless you richly as you listen.

As you will read in the book of Hebrews, and hear on this PODCAST, “Jesus learned obedience from the things he suffered.” Wait! What??? How could Jesus, who was always consistently obedience, learn obedience? And what does that mean for us, in our lives, today? And every day?

The picture that you are about to hear me paint in this PODCAST is my Single. Favorite. Scriptural. Snapshot of Jesus, second to none. Courtesy of our old friend, Peter, who was onsite and who witnessed this up close and far too personal in real time as it happened. I have a hunch that after hearing this, you will never think of Jesus in quite the same way again. May my stuttering and stammering words be a blessing in your life.

You—YOU!!!—are being prayed for. Right now. Today. Every day. Every minute of every day. As you are about to hear in this PODCAST, you are being prayed for. What a glorious truth. What a soul-sustaining reality. What a blessed assurance. Please remember that depending upon your web browser and connection speed, it may take up to 60 seconds for this podcast to begin to play. God bless you richly as you listen.

I mentioned it only briefly, in passing really, last week. Time to talk about it in earnest this week. As you will hear in this PODCAST, THIS is our hope. A bright and beautiful hope indeed! BTW, the cheering you will hear in the background are the precious high school students whom I met at Hartland Christian Camp in July. A better group of students you will not find. Anywhere. May it be a blessing, to you as it was to them. Enjoy. Please remember that depending upon your web browser and connection speed, it may take up to 60 seconds for this podcast to begin to play.

One final picture. As you will hear in this PODCAST, there is embedded within the pages of the Old Testament one standout picture (one among so many) that we must consider together. 50 chapters were devoted to the painting of this one picture. (By way of contrast, do you remember how many chapters are devoted to painting the picture of the creation of the world? Two!) When it came to painting the picture of Christ dying for our sins once for all time, God—forgive the cliché—spared no expense in painting this one. This podcast—my stuttering, stumbling, verbal depiction of this painting—is singularly dedicated to the enrichment of your soul. Enjoy!

As you are about to hear in this PODCAST, there is no more precious a proclamation, made by Peter to us, in the entire Bible than this one. Nor is there a more precious a picture, painted by God Himself, of this proclamation, than this one. My earnest prayer is that this message may be a blessing in your life today.

Once again, while I am away speaking (at my final conference of the summer), I have not left you Podcast-less! Welcome to Decision Night at Hartland Christian Camp. As you will hear in the PODCAST, even though this message was not delivered at Safe Haven, it is the perfect followup to last week’s discussion of Passover. I mentioned last week, and will remind you now, that before His arrest, Jesus had to keep a divine appointment in the Garden of Gethsemane. I didn’t explain that then; I do explain it now. If you want to know what it meant for Jesus to bear the weight of your sin (and mine), this is THE picture of exactly what that meant.

As you are about to hear in this PODCAST, a more precious and precise portrait of Jesus has never been painted. A picture worth thousands of words. Here you will hear a few hundred of mine. Jesus said, “Do this in remembrance of Me.” May we remember never to forget.

“Once for all time.” As you are about to hear in this PODCAST, a more precious premise has never been written. “Once for all time.” What does it mean to you? What does it mean to me? If it’s meaning doesn’t send your soul singing, nothing will. Please remember that depending upon your web browser and connection speed, it may take up to 60 seconds for this podcast to begin to play. God bless you richly as you listen.

It is without a doubt one of the weirdest passages in all of the Bible. As you are about to hear in this PODCAST, Peter’s words in 1 Peter 3 present to us a theological oddity, certainly a curiosity, an enigmatic phrase that focuses our attention on that time frame between Not-So-Good-Friday and Easter Sunday, and for good measure invokes the memory of Noah and the Flood. What in the world is going on here? And what does it mean to us today? Get ready for a fantastical journey from which Jesus emerges victorious. He wins! And when He wins, we win! Enjoy!
