Lions Unchained: Recent Episodes
Carl Joseph Ministries
The lion is emblematic of courage, strength and ferocity. Someone once said, “A lion doesn’t lose sleep over the opinions of sheep.” Which one are you? A lion stands above the crowd, embracing leadership when others are unwilling. Churchill wasn’t qualified by many to lead Britain in the darkest hours of WWII, yet he famously quipped, “I was not the lion, but it fell to me to give the lion’s roar.” The attributes of a lion speak volumes of what we should aspire to and its Carl’s passion to hear you roar! Carl shares powerful testimonies of what God has done in his life, along with insight from his extensive research into God’s Word, Geopolitics and current events. Join ‘Lions Unchained’ for a new podcast, each and every Monday…Get ready to roar!
If you mentioned to a friend in passing that you ‘talk to God’ they might think you are off your rocker, however, listening to the Holy Spirit should be a daily habit in every Christians life. As we cultivate the practice of daily Bible reading (logos), our capacity to hear God’s still small voice (rhema) […]

This messianic psalm is quoted three times in the New Testament, and is a beautiful expression of praise to God. David is in awe of God’s creation and amazed at a God who chooses not only to glorify himself in the heavens, but glorify a weak, sinful people by making His abode amongst them. Ralph […]
The post Psalm 8: God’s Crowning Achievement first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries.
How we respond when others are blessed is a true reflection of our own capacity to receive from God. The elder brother in the story of the prodigal son has disdain for his wasteful younger kin. How you see yourself will ultimately define your ability to fulfill Gods calling on your life. The story of […]
The post From Servanthood to Sonship: Part 3 (LIVE) first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries.
Some church goers think they’re better than others, because they obey all the rules, thereby trying to win favor with God. This false sentiment is a Pharisaical disposition, where rule keeping is their personification of righteousness. This mindset was prevalent in the elder brother of the parable of the prodigal son. It also serves as […]
The post From Servanthood to Sonship: Part 2 (LIVE) first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries.
God’s love is so unfathomable, we struggle to comprehend its extent. When Christ shed His blood on the cross, His aim was to replicate many ‘sons of God’ in His image. God sees you as His son or daughter, not a hired hand and this distinction is found in the epistles which speak of Christ […]

Does scripture teach that a believer is eternally secure, even if they decide to abandon Christ altogether? This doctrine is taught in Calvinist and Baptist circles, primarily, but does scripture really teach eternal security, ‘no matter what’? The Apostle Peter warns, it is better to have never known the way of righteousness than to have […]
The post Once Saved…always Saved? first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries.
Many Christians are ignorant of numerous scriptures which refer to the importance of our everyday speech. In fact, our words are the very means by which our faith is activated. Words also express the treasure of our heart, either good or bad. When our heart and mouth are aligned, faith is activated in a powerful […]

This is the first of the imprecatory psalms, one in which the author seeks the destruction of his foes. But can we pray the same prayers in this dispensation of Grace? Should a Christian pray for vengeance, like Old Testament Saints? This is no doubt, a controversial petition which Carl addresses directly, in this insightful […]
The post Psalm 5: Vengeance is Mine first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries.
One day in the not-too-distant future Christ will rule and reign in a theocracy on this earth. A theocracy is a form of government with divine guidance. This future dispensation is known as the millennial reign of Christ, encompassing a one-thousand-year duration, where King David will once again, sit on the throne of Jerusalem, as […]

The Book of Psalms has been a source of inspiration for Carl down the years. It is also where he finds himself the most, when seeking God’s direction for his life. He now shares some of the more treasured psalms on a personal level and historical psalms of notoriety. Psalms were meant to be sung, […]
The post Book of Psalms: Introduction first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries.
God sets boundaries for our protection. In fact, the ten commandments are ten edicts of protection for our benefit. God’s boundaries encompass the spheres of morality, marriage, property, government, and nation states. Our God sanctions and upholds the boundaries which are clearly outlined in His word (Deut 32:8). On a practical note, by defining clear […]

Doublespeak is language which deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words and there’s plenty of it going around these days. Someone once quipped, “Doublespeak is the official language of every government,” and it’s hard to argue with that statement. You could also argue it is the language of most mainstream media outlets, […]

These words were popularized by the recent movie, ‘V for Vendetta,’ but what most Americans might not realize, is the poem from which it stems, has been recited by Britons each year, for the past four centuries.

In this final broadcast of the series, Carl shares the importance of building a firm foundation if something is built to last. The Empire State building in New York, required a very deep foundation, and the granite stones found in Central Park are testimony to this. If you want to do something great for God […]
The post The BDSF Cycle: Part 4 (LIVE) first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries.
Joseph serves as a typology of Christ in the Old Testament and we can learn much from his altruistic life. Joseph was labeled a suffering servant and overcame many obstacles on his path to promotion. Joseph suffered at the hands of others, yet God used it for character development and faith building, as His vision […]
The post The BDSF Cycle: Part 3 (LIVE) first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries.
Some people are following their own vision, yet God desires us to seek His instead. Any fulfillment of a self-aggrandized vision will have no reward in the afterlife. If we do not seek God’s vision, we will perish (Prov 29:18). The birth, death and supernatural fulfillment of God’s vision is how God attains the glory, […]

Some contend that God works in ‘mysterious ways,’ and scripture alludes to this. Our ways are certainly not His. The goal of any Christian is to be conformed to the image of Christ, yet God’s means of transformation is far from logical. Carl begins a new four-part series on the mysterious ‘BDSF’ cycle which is […]

The precise age of the earth has baffled scientists and geologists down the centuries, ranging from 6000 to 4.5 billion years. Not only that, many Christians cannot agree on the exact age of the earth either. Does scripture allude to an ancient cataclysm which predates Noah’s flood? Could this calamity have something to do with […]

Presently the world’s Jewish population is close to 16 million. Being Jewish is an ancestral and religious identity, with most Jews, living in the state of Israel.

The Apostle Paul’s ‘thorn in the flesh’ is often used as an excuse for believers to quit on God. Some scholars claim Paul’s thorn was a metaphor for going blind because he mentions writing ‘large letters’ (Gal 6:11). But what if the answer to the mysterious riddle of Paul’s ‘thorn’ is found within the text […]
The post Authority of the Believer: Part 3 (LIVE) first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries.
Does God approve of everything He allows? If He is in control of ‘everyone’ and ‘everything,’ how can we justify so many ‘if’s’ in the Holy Bible? Surely this conditional connotation to God’s promises reveals a measure of personal accountability, which cannot be ignored. The Bible speaks of a ‘hedge of protection’ and ‘putting on […]
The post Authority of the Believer: Part 2 (LIVE) first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries.
Knowing our authority in Christ is perhaps the most important aspect of Christendom, after salvation. In this live broadcast (the first of a three-part series), Carl questions the false ideology that, ‘God is in control’ of ‘everything’ and ‘everyone.’ He shares scriptures pointing to our responsibility as believers and how we have a part to […]

Is ‘Christian Science’ merely another Christian denomination or is there a sinister undertone to the ‘Reading Rooms,’ scattered throughout the nation? 1st Timothy 6:20, warns of ‘science falsely so called,’ which refutes saving grace through faith, offering salvation via the tree of knowledge instead (Gen 2:17). In this insightful broadcast, Carl explores the origins and […]

Christians are often accused of being bigoted or overtly judgmental. Some claim Christians should never judge anyone, because Jesus spoke against it. It’s funny how critics often quote scripture to back up their own prejudice. In this lengthy broadcast Carl takes time to review key scriptures regarding judgement, and the conditions under which judgement is […]

Of the 217 Modern English Bible translations and counting, does once stand out as ‘the’ word of God? Most modern scholars do not believe we have God’s word in our possession today. They desperately seek original autographs in caves and caverns of the desert, much like Indiana Jones. Yet God promised to ‘show His word […]

The age-old question of why God allows suffering in this world has baffled theologians for centuries. But could the cause of our woeful predicament be found by simply looking in a mirror? Suffering came into this world because of choice and choice always wins. Suffering is the byproduct of sin which gained entrance into this […]
The post Why does God allow Suffering? first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries.
God made us righteous by Christ’s atoning blood sacrifice. Many Christians still hold on to a stubborn ‘sin consciousness’ which identifies them with their past. Despite Christ’s once and for all sacrifice, they still feel guilty of past sins. This shameful demeanor can only overcome by embracing ‘righteousness consciousness.’ Carl shares the importance of past […]
The post Faith, Hope & Love: Part 4 (LIVE) first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries.
Hope must come first. Without hope, we will never see the promises of God manifest in our lives. Many Christians are ‘hoping’ their prayers are answered but are not employing the principles of faith which are requisite for the manifestation of God’s promises. Hope is tied to our imagination and we must steward our imagination […]

Faith is a substance; therefore, it can be measured. Hope desires an outcome, but faith is how we attain the outcome. The Bible says, faith can waver, or even become shipwrecked, if we’re not careful. In this broadcast Carl shares the story of Charles Blondin, the famous French trapeze artist who, in the fall of […]
The post Faith, Hope & Love: Part 2 (LIVE) first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries.
Faith, Hope and Love have been described as the great triumvirate of Christendom. 1st Corinthians chapter 13, outlines which of them is the greatest of all.

Although this episode was recorded in 2017, its warnings are still pertinent today. America is under an all-out assault from globalist forces which seek to unhinge the nation from its Judaeo-Christian ideals and mold it into a ‘new order.’ Every traditional value is under attack. Moral and civil boundaries outlined in God’s Word are being […]

The tongue can transmit either a curse or blessing. David described harsh words as ‘sharp swords’ which sought to do him harm.

The Book of James is contentious for several reasons. In fact, Martin Luther tried to remove it from the canon of scripture…but why?

‘Sticks and Stones may break my bones,’ you’ve heard that before, but do you realize words have the power to not only wound but kill? This seems like an exaggeration, yet the Bible makes it clear; the words we speak, charter a course for either life or death. In this, the first of a three-part […]

America is a Christian nation no doubt, and our founding fathers encapsulated Christian ideology in the founding documents.

As we wrap up the series, Carl shares the seven traits for Christian success.

The Book of Joshua offers key insight as to how we may attain success. It involves, not only knowing God’s word but speaking it out, so faith may increase in our lives (Rom 10:17).

If fame, fortune, or prestige are your endgame in this life, then you have your priorities messed up.

The identity of the Antichrist (‘Son of Perdition’ – 2nd Thess 2:3), remains shrouded in mystery, yet the Bible offers precise clues as to where this dark and mysterious figure will arise from.

Our faith must be practical, in order to receive God’s promises. Considering the many options before us, Carl shares practical ways to attain God’s best outcome, when we pray.

The Book of Romans offers three paths; namely, the good, perfect, and acceptable will of God.

Someone defined trust as, “giving someone the complete authority to destroy you, but at the same time being confident they will never do it.” Sometimes it’s hard to trust God for His best because it requires an immense amount of patience.

Forgiving and forgetting are synonymous in the eyes […]

If faith works by love, then love is an essential component of receiving from God. Not only that, God’s love is both nurturing and corrective, yet most people focus only on the nurturing aspect.

Witchcraft is strictly forbidden in scripture but ‘the craft’ is exploding in popularity today, especially amongst young people.

In this third and final broadcast of the series, Carl wraps up his teaching on spiritual growth, reminding us of the importance of studying and applying God’s word, in a lifelong endeavor to becoming a fruit bearer.

Spiritual growth is a transformative process to become like Christ, in every way. Through the knowledge of ‘Him’ our growth is guaranteed. Everyone ‘must’ be born again (Jn 3:7).

John Calvin was a slick lawyer, who saw an opportunity to use the theological concept of predestination as a weapon against the Papacy of his day.

A few years ago, the mere mention of Globalism would be ridiculed by most as part of some right-wing conspiracy but today Globalism is openly discussed in many media outlets. Its far-reaching tentacles extend into literally every facet of our modern-day existence. This is not by accident but part of a much wider global agenda; […]

When we pray, we must realize that God always has our best interests at heart. Someone once said, ‘good is often the enemy of best.’ Too often believers will settle for what’s good, often missing out on God’s best for them. In the realm of prayer, patience is what separates good from best. Abraham inherited […]

Without doubt the foremost condition of every Christian at all times should be peace but, on the surface, so few believers actually appear to demonstrate it.

Abstinence from food or drink (commonly known as fasting) has long been practiced within religious circles for millennia and is not exclusive to Christendom.

The word ‘heart’ is mentioned nearly one thousand times in scripture. God cares deeply about our heart’s condition, and you should too. Its wellness impacts our very existence in more ways than you think. When we become ‘born again’, our heart is sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit but there is a tendency […]

Are the followers of Charles Taze Russell really Christians? Charles founded the Jehovah’s Witness movement, and he was described as an egotistical man, who frankly made some absurd claims about himself in his own writings. Some scholars have even claimed, he compared himself to the Apostle Paul or Luther on occasion and encouraged his followers […]
