Welcome to the Speak Life Podcast

 

We are a Gospel ministry reaching those in the field, on the water, on two wheels, behind a badge, and with a gun for Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 18:21 says that life and death are in the power of the tongue. We choose to speak life. L’chaim welcome to the speak life podcast.

The mission is to restore and strengthen the family; make followers of Jesus Christ, give hope, and to encourage one another. Rev. Blanchard officiates at weddings, funerals and provides pastoral service nationally to the individuals, couples and families. You can help this ministry grow: https://giv.li/p2nj61

We're helping others make better life choices, and provide a mobile Christian worship that transforms lives. We are making sense of things Eternal for those of us trying to live right, and enjoy the life we have.

Giving you what you might have missed in church when you were loving the outdoors, working, riding or serving. #hunters, #fisherman, #gunowners, #lawenforcement  #security, #veterans, #bikers

What is the church?  The church can be understood in two ways: the visible and the invisible. The visible church is comprised of all who claim the name of Christian and who gather together for worship and participation of the sacraments: the Lord's Supper and Baptism. The members of the visible church claim the name of Christian. But, the visible church contains both believers and non-believers. In other words, there are people in the visible church who are not really saved. The members of the invisible church are the actual body of believers. They are the ones who are truly regenerate and have trusted, by faith, in the true Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The true Christian is indwelt by the Lord Jesus (John 14:23) through the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the Christian church is figuratively said to be the body of Christ. * Rom. 12:5, "So we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another." * Eph. 4:12, "For the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ." The word "church" comes from the Greek "ekklesia" which means "gathering" or "assembly." Therefore, the church is the gathering of the believers who come together to participate in fellowship with one another as they worship God and hear from His Word, the Bible. The church as a whole has been equipped with people possessing different spiritual gifts (Rom. 12:5-8). The purpose of the gifts is Eph. 4:12-13, "for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ."
