There are many ways we can arrive Jesus' deity in Scripture, but in this video we will look at what Hebrews 1 in particular has to say about Jesus being God the Son.

For whatever reason, I the love of God never became foundational to me at an emotional level until recently, and remained mostly just a theological point. I want to share just a few passages and thoughts on God's love that I have found healing, and I hope you will feel refreshed and inspired to seek the Lord for revelation and experiential knowledge of His love for you.

I feel as though I need to apologize corporately for being unnecessarily abrasive in some videos, posts, and comment threads, where I have simply gotten in my flesh and acted outside of godly wisdom.
While I don't disagree with things I have said (that I can remember), I have said things that I shouldn't have, and the spirit behind them was not always pure or with others best interest at heart. I feel this could have been a stumbling block for people watching my content, because I haven't been the best example of closeness with Jesus or Christian character in the public sphere. For this, I apologize, and to anyone whom it's impacted negatively, I'm sorry for my behavior and lack of wisdom. I'm looking forward to making content again, feeling grace to do so, and hope to be more of a blessing than I have been in times past.

A few videos ago, I mentioned I entered into the toughest season in my walk with God at the end of 2019 and all of 2020. A lot of pain, a lot of circumstances I hadn’t faced before that exceeded what I could navigate, and a lot of dissatisfaction and anger at God amidst everything.
This began to produce subtle rebellion in me, and to make a long story short, I began a battle with looking at things I shouldn’t as a means of mood-altering, distraction, and self-medication. It gave way for lust to take root, and that’s the sin I want to confess. I confess that in this video, and share some things I hope may help you in your battle with sin as well, whether the same sin or a different one.
I want to eventually make content that will help people overcome sin (having once been victorious in this area, and hopefully staying free in the Lord this time around), and while I’m not asking for sympathy or compassion, I do hope to receive grace to work this into something positive in the Lord’s timing.How To Know & Experience Gods Love For You (Dr. Sam Storms)Steven Bancarz2020-12-17 | In this interview, I sit down with one of my favorite teachers Dr. Sam Storms to talk about the love of God. How can we know and experience the love God has for us? He wrote a book on this topic called, "The Singing God" which we draw from in this interview. Sam is the pastor of Bridgeway church in OKC, is on the board of directors for Desiring God (Piper's ministry), and serves as a member of the Council of The Gospel Coalition.
In this video I will be asking him a series of questions I have struggled and hang-ups I have had in my Christian walk with God's love for me. The Bible is full of passages about God's love, but it doesn't always hit our hearts. Should we be feeling God's love in our Christian lives? How can He love people so sinful, and why does He try to change us if He loves us as we are? These are some of the questions we will be wrestling through in this video. I hope it blesses you, and opens up your mind and heart to the affections God has for you.
Note* The link to Sam's book is an affiliate link from Amazon, which will help me out. If you feel more comfortable getting the book without this link, please feel free to get it another way. I really just want you to be blessed with the material :)Why Jesus Had To Die: The Gospel ExplainedSteven Bancarz2020-12-14 | In this video, we will be looking at what the Gospel is, what sin is, and why Jesus died on the cross. What did his death accomplish for us? Why did Jesus have to die? What must we do to be recipients of the atonement He provided, and what happens to us when we believe the Gospel?
While there are many facets of the Gospel I wish could have been covered at more in length (the meaning of "atonement", bodily resurrection, the eternal state, the handling of some objections, etc.), in this video we look at the bare essentials of saving faith and a basic overview of what Jesus accomplished for us and why. Perhaps videos can be made in the future elaborating on some of the themes contained in this video. I hope this video blesses you, and I pray that you will take its contents to heart.

How should we understand pandemics as Christian? Where does God stand in relationship to disease or other "natural evils"? And what has God promised us that can help assure our hearts during this time? By understanding the sovereignty of God and promises of eternal life, we can prepare ourselves emotionally for any pandemic that comes our way, COVID-19 included.

One posture is intended to mimick Shiva cutting the head off of Daksha and putting in on a stake. Yoga is not something Christians, or anyone else, should be practicing.

After a breakdown he had where he hit rock bottom, his entire family got drawn by Jesus independently, and they all came to Jesus at the same time. He didn't just go from orthodox Jew to Jesus, or from New Age to Jesus, he and his wife and son all did as well after being drawn independently from one another.
I sat down with Jeff to interview him about his story, later to be joined by his sons and wife on camera. Needless to say, it was an emotional and powerful discussion. As he is a vegan YouTuber, and as I myself an interested in health and wellness, Jeff and I spent time after his testimony discussing nutrition, fitness, and even veganism and how they can be understood by the church.

Her life has since took a complete 180 degree turn away from 50 years of New Thought and over 20 years as a New Age teacher to being sold out for Jesus.
As a former advocate of things like angel cards, tarot cards, metaphysics, meditation, and channeling, and as a teacher of these things for many years, Doreen Virtue as a born again Christian has one of the most dramatic Christian Testimonies out there.
This is a life stream of her story and events that have taken place in her life since her conversion, including her breaking totally away from HayHouse and leading her audience through the One Year Bible study.

Instagram: instagram.com/reasonsforjesusYou Are Gods: What Did Jesus Really Mean?Steven Bancarz2017-06-05 | In John 10:34, Jesus tells that Pharisees that it is written in the Law that "you are gods". He is quoting from Psalm 82:6 where it says, "I said you are gods, sons of the Most High. All of you". In the New Age movement, this verse is misinterpreted in a gnostic context (such as that taught by the Gospel of Thomas), or the mystical context of Christ Consciousness (such as that taught by Eckhart Tolle or Deepak Chopra) to support the idea that we are all little gods. It's asserted that Jesus was a mystic, or that Jesus was a Buddhist, or that there are some secret teachings of Jesus that the church omitted from its theology.
In this video, we will do a Bible study on what Jesus really meant in the New Testament, what the Pslamist meant in the Old Testament, and how we can know Jesus was not teaching that we can have some kind of spiritual awakening or gnosis whereby we become gods.

I went in totally open-minded and excited, and I left disappointed.
This movie denies the very heart of the Gospel, and contains a watered down version of God that contradicts the Bible. Emotionally moving? Sure. Psychologically helpful? Sure. But theologically it is sneaky, deceptive, and heretical. This video is a movie review of the Christian movie "The Shack", where we look at the false theology and heresy promoted by Paul Young.

It gives forces of darkness legal ground to operate in your life and to oppress you. In this video, we talk about the power of occult objects and go through a list of objects to burn. Things like tarot cards, magick books, esoteric books, books about channeling, and other such thing can open up doorways to demons of the occult.
Instagram: instagram.com/reasonsforjesusHistorian Vs Atheist: Is Jesus A Knock-Off Of Pagan Gods?Steven Bancarz2017-03-07 | Historian and New Testament expert Gary Habermas, Ph.D., debates a Skeptic Magazine editor on the resurrection of Jesus and the idea that his story was copied from pagan gods. This debate took place on Lee Strobel's show called "Faith under Fire" which aired in 2005.
Reasons for Jesus is an apologetics-based website dedicated to providing justification for a Biblical worldview and a rational defense for faith in Jesus Christ. On this site we will be looking at answers to questions, responses to objections, and positive reasons for why Jesus is exactly who he claimed to be: The Son of God and the only means of salvation.
In the New Age movement, the second coming is believed to be a metaphor for a global shift in consciousness. In this video, we look at the truth about the second coming from the words of Jesus himself.
The most prominent teacher of mysticism and New Age philosophy in the West Deepak Chopra goes toe to toe in a debate with Christian apologist Greg Koukl on Lee Strobel's show "Faith under Fire". This episode called "The Future of Faith" aired in 2005.
Chopra, who has written two books on the topic of Jesus, seems to be at loss for words as the well-researched Koukl keeps correcting him on his false view of Jesus, his false doctrine, and the historicity of the Gospels. Chopra's Eastern/secular interpretation of Jesus does not seem to hold water when confronted with someone who teaches apologetics and defends the faith for a living.
These two segments were the only ones I could find that were decent quality. Full debate can be found here (poor quality): youtube.com/watch?v=qYyWOu_xIMo
In this video we will look at how the idea of Christ Consciousness is not only a false philosophy, it was warned of specifically by Jesus as a sign of the end times in the New Testament. In this video, we do a Bible study showing why this false gnostic theology does not reflect the teachings of Jesus. Don't be deceived by this false teaching of the New Age movement.

Instagram: instagram.com/stevenbancarzProof The New Age Movement Is SatanicSteven Bancarz2016-05-18 | In this video, we look at how the New Age movement and the pagan, occult, esoteric beliefs it holds to come directly from Satanism and the Luciferian doctrine of Helena Blavatsky and Aleister Crowley. This video debunks the idea that New Age spirituality is harmless by showing how the same kinds of occult beliefs taught in the New Age are also taught by Anton Levay, the author of the Satanic Bible.
