April 3

Bible v. Science
It’s an age-old dilemma: trying to harmonize what the Bible says with what modern science proclaims. Is truth nothing more than the interpretation of facts? Where does faith come in? Dr. Jennings suggests some insights and guidelines.
 MP3
April 10

The Aging Brain
Like it or not, we’re all aging. If we want to protect ourselves from what’s becoming more and more common these days, dementia, what should we do? Can brain function loss really be prevented? Dr. Jennings weighs in.
 MP3
April 17

The Impact of Fear
Life isn’t exactly for the timid. Fear is part of the experience. But can fear impact our physical health, relational abilities, and even the health of society in general? The Bible says fear can cause men’s hearts to fail. Dr. Jennings suggests an alternative.

God View
“And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Dr. Jennings amplifies Paul’s insights.
 MP3

Healthy Aging
It’s a fact of life that we’re all aging. No matter if we’re eight or eighty, the clock is ticking. If we’re smart, we’ll want to know the answer to this question: can we age healthfully? Dr. Jennings suggests guidelines for fighting the destructive forces we all must face.

Rest The Brain
When you’ve experienced a good night’s rest, your body feels great the next day. That same type of transformation happens in your brain as well. Bodies and minds need both rest and sleep.
 MP3
May 15

Feeding Thoughts
“You are what you eat.” You also “think what you eat.” Food is being implicated concerning many brain functions. What we eat impacts our ability to think and reason in life-changing ways.
 MP3
May 22

Interpreting the Bible
How is it possible that two people can read the very same Bible text and come away with two very different interpretations? It has to do with what came before.
 MP3
May 29

Fear of Death
There are some who are actually afraid of dying—and that fear can drive behavior. Should we be afraid? How should we look at death, so we can live life in a more positive state of mind?
 MP3
June 5

Forgiveness Myths
God calls us to forgive one another. How many times? “Seventy times seven” Christ suggests in Matthew 18:22. So, why is it sometimes so hard for us to forgive even once?
 MP3
June 11

Antidepressants
We all feel down in the dumps on occasion. Not to worry. We pop a pill and we’re on top of the world again, right? However, we should exercise caution when self-medicating depression.
 MP3
June 18

Old Testament
A lot happens when we move from the Old Testament to the New Testament. It’s almost like a whole new God shows up. Or are we simply not paying attention to the script?
 MP3
June 25

Resolving Guilt
Some describe it as a feeling in the pit of the stomach. Others say it’s that nagging sense that something isn’t right with the world. Guilt can be useful—or it can be very misleading.
 MP3

It’s been called the permanent solution to a temporary problem. And it is on the rise. Dr. Jennings identifies the risks and provides some tools for the prevention of suicide.
 MP3

Telling Right from Wrong
The devil has made right and wrong almost interchangeable. He’s removed the barriers separating them. Dr. Jennings suggests how to begin telling one from the other.
 MP3

The Truth about Hell
We’re heard about it. We probably feel uncertain about it. One thing is for sure. It’s somewhere we don’t want to be. Using Scripture and reason, Dr. Jennings reveals the truth about hell.
 MP3

Near Death Experiences
How should we deal with the concept of “near death experiences” when we read glowing reports about them? Dr. Jennings explains that, while the experience is real, the interpretation often isn’t.

 MP3

Roads We Travel Part 1
Proverbs 14:12 states bluntly: “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.” That death may be physical, spiritual, social, or even mental. Dr. Jennings explains.
 MP3
August 20

Roads We Travel Part 2
We’re all traveling toward a deeper and more fulfilling understanding of our God and, yes, as the Beatles said, it can seem long and winding. Dr. Jennings suggests a road map to follow.
 MP3
August 27

The False Allure of Universalism
“Universalism” is an area of Christian theology focused around the view that all human beings will ultimately be “saved” and restored to a right relationship with God. Is that truth or error?
 MP3
September 3

Laughter
Remember the “Mary Poppins” song “I love to laugh. Ha, ha, haha. Loud and long and clear?” Dr. Jennings makes the connection between laughter, health, and God’s Word.
 MP3
September 10

Does God Do Harm
Medical doctors work under the directive to “Do no harm.” They’re in the business of healing, not destroying. Does that mantra also apply to God? Dr. Jennings examines the issue.
 MP3
September 17

Mind Change
Can our brains be changed by what we hear? Dr. Jennings explains how we’re all affected by what we observe and believe and how we can guard ourselves against the lies so prevalent today.
 MP3

Solutions for Sick Societies
Humans and animals aren’t the only things that can get sick. So can whole societies. Is there a cure? Dr. Jennings says YES! The prescription some straight from the Bible.
 MP3
October 15

Sanctuary Lessons
“Let them build me a sanctuary,” God told His people in the Old Testament. Why? What purpose would it serve? The answer, says Dr. Jennings, is as much about theater as it is about salvation.
 MP3
October 22

Why Do We Need the Holy Spirit
He’s ready to help us through life. He’s insightful, a great teacher, and an amazing comforter. But, the Holy Spirit is much more than what most people think He is. Dr. Jennings explains.
 MP3

Does God Punish the Wicked
You sin, you get punished—and then die. Seems simple enough. But from where does that punishment and death come? Dr. Jennings reveals the surprising source of the wages of sin.
 MP3

Is God in Control?
“Don’t worry,” some say concerning troubling situations in the home, in the workplace, or in politics, “God is in control.” Comforting thought. But, just how accurate is it?
 MP3
November 12

God’s Design Laws for Life
When we hop into a car, airliner, or sit atop a tall building, we’re putting a lot of trust in those who designed them. We need to learn to trust the One who designed us just as much.

 MP3

Truth and Evidence
Truth. It’s not exactly a favorite topic these days. Opinion is so much easier to explain and deal with. Speculation and conspiracy rule the roost. Who has time for the truth? We should!
 MP3
December 24

Medical Marijuana vs CBD Oil
It’s legal in many states and some say very effective. But there’s a downside. Medical Marijuana does contain some benefits, if you know where to look and what to leave out in the process.
 MP3
December 31

Testimony 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

H. S., Australia

 

Testimony 71

When I was 9 years old, I remember setting at our devotional table with a hunger and thirst for God that wanted more, deeper, BETTER. I can remember literally crying and pounding on the table, “I know these teachers didn’t mean to give us error. They taught what THEY had been TAUGHT, but didn’t ANYBODY READ THE BOOK?!?!?” It mattered to me then. It mattered to me as a teenager. It matters now as I teach bible classes. It didn’t have to be so hard as I watched so many give up and lay God’s great plan and gift of salvation aside as being “impossible.” Then, a friend sent me a link to Come And Reason’s website. I grew excited. YES! FINALLY! Then another friend told me to stay away, saying her son had just broken up with a girl because she was involved with Come And Reason and that “Tim Jennings preaches a false gospel.” But, AFTER many years of developing an authentic and, dare I say FUN relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit I see this message has been around a LONG time, since the apostle Paul, Ellen White, Graham Maxwell, Ray Foucher, and yourself (though I admit, you’ve made me back up, rewind and replay the clips, and get out my well-worn Bible on a few things.) I’m so thankful I have found LIGHT during these DARK days. I am not alone.

Testimony 68

Your message of design law vs imperial law is so uplifting and makes so much sense- it is a game changer for me. The fact that Jesus’s death is not a big payment by an angry God is , quite frankly, a relief.

Laura G., London, Ontario, Canada

 

Testimony 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!

Testimony 60

Just watched watched lesson 10 in the 1st quarter 2021 bible study classs on Isaiah. I want to thank you for your intellectual spirituality; it’s not an oxymoron! From the point of view of a teacher I also enjoy seeing how much personal pleasure you clearly take in not just tasting, but feasting on God’s word – it reminds me of Jeremiah not being able to hold it in! It makes me smile that your cup is so full and overflowing that you make it to Tuesday’s lesson (on a good day). It just goes to show the richness of God’s Word.

God bless the Come and Reason Team from our church here in Great Britain.

Andrew H., Great Britain

 

Testimony 3

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

C. F., NC, USA

 

Testimony 31

It was very touching to hear the testimony of your class share how viewing God’s true character has changed their lives. My feelings are the same – there is so much freedom in knowing that God LOVES me – regardless of my… just, REGARDLESS! I’m still blown away by the true gospel, the fact that God is not ready to strike us when we fail. He is not arbitrary. He simply loves us and warns of the natural consequences because He can’t stand to see us suffer. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GOD!!!

Ceil V.,  UT, USA

 

Testimony 9

I really enjoy with you the view of a gracious God. Thank you for sharing the work you are allowing the Lord to do in you.

Testimony 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into “Healing the Mind” information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the “Healing the Mind” lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say “Thank You!” My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

R. K., Anderson, SC, USA

 

Testimony 8

Thank you for the ministry you are sharing with us, it is a real blessing to us and especially to my husband and myself! You are encouraging us to think for ourselves and not just to except everything, without thinking it through, with God’s word!

Testimony 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

Anthony L., CA, USA

 

Testimony 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

Testimony 18

The Healing the Mind DVD set tarted me on a journey that has changed my relationship with our loving God more significantly than any other study, and brought me to your book and Bible study podcasts, which I now listen to daily, thanks to the availability of archived content on your site and on iTunes.

Testimony 67

I was introduced to Come And Reason by a friend of my mother-in-law, who gave me several CD’s of Dr. Jennings. The clarity of the message and recognition that God’s is a God of love was so clear, advancing beyond Dr. Maxwell’s message. However, grappled with Maxwell saying God used emergency measures for the fallen world. Now after several years of being a regular listener of the Come And Reasoning bible study class and attending Jennings’ meetings in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, things are becoming clearer for me. Design law versus imposed law has added so much to my personal understanding of theology. This message has really impacted my work in counseling so many people miserable because they are searching for and trusting human governments to create order and peace or believing in a God who says love Me or I will kill you. I am grateful that I have an alternative view to offer my clients that makes sense. I teach a bible study class on a semi-regular basis and I value the materials that Come And Reason so freely offers to aid me in presenting this vital message. Thank you for continuing to provide advancement in our very limited understanding of a Infinite God that is rational and believable.

Dr. Roger D, Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 10

I personally download and listen to each of Come And Reason Ministries Bible study class lessons and PDF study notes to use when teaching my class. Really appreciate the class especially when Dr. Jennings is teaching. Thank God there are persons like him doing His work and traveling to share His beliefs.
