• New! Episode 34; A Chip Off the Old Block
    Nov 5 2025

    What happens to the genetic code after spiritual transformation? When a person becomes a new creature through salvation, they become one with Christ, and one with the body of Christ. One Christian is representative of the general assembly of Christians, on a spiritual level, even with those Christians that have passed on to their final reward. The faith that is passed on from generation to generation is the family inheritance, and the fruits of the spirit are the proofs of a changed life.

  • New! Episode 31; Fruit of the Poisonous Vine
    Jul 13 2025

    Welcome to Episode 31 discussing activities that are habit forming, and our routine is to turn to those things in moments of boredom or sadness, in search of happiness or fun. Those activities that are available to us are not all spiritually good for us and not all healthy. In fact the easiest sources of dopamine are likely those things that are actually not permitted under the perfect law of liberty.

    Too late you say? Already addicted? There's hope! Spiritual transformation is prevent to break addiction and put us back on the right path. Also, surrounding ourselves with a spiritually healthy environment can teach us how to have good clean fun.

    We hope that you will find this challenging and encouraging! Visit us at www.avondalecog.org or email us at biblestudy@avondalecog.org. Thanks for listening to the Higher Calling Podcast presented by the Avondale Church of God.

  • Episode 29 Part 1 Fighting Unbelief Through Trust and Confidence in the Word of God
    Jun 7 2025

    Welcome everyone to Episode 29 of The Higher Calling podcast presented by the Avondale Church of God! During the last couple of episodes we have been talking about an objective reality that we don’t always see due to illusions, or non-real things that we perceive, which can turn into delusions which are non-real things that we believe. In this episode we are putting together the concepts all the way back from Episode 22 through current and perhaps wrapping up the unbelief series.

    Discussing concepts like the Unfair, Deceptive, and Abusive Acts and Practices of the enemy, God's Credit Score, and the credibility of God.

    We trust that you'll find the discussion both challenging and encouraging. As always, thank you for listening, and if you have any comments or would like to contact us for any other reason please visit www.avondalecog.org or email us at biblestudy@avondalecog.org.

  • Episode 27; Fighting Unbelief With An Excellent Spirit
    Apr 5 2025

    Welcome everyone to Episode 27 of The Higher Calling Podcast presented by the Avondale Church of God! During the last couple of episodes we have been talking about an objective reality that we don’t always see due to illusions, or non-real things that we perceive, which can turn into delusions which are non-real things that we believe. Demonstrating spiritual maturity means having attributes of carefulness, clearing, indignation, godly fear, vehement desire, zeal and revenging disobedience.

    We trust that you will find the discussion both challenging and encouraging.
