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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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
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.

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.

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

Testimony 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Tammy Cinzio, Australia

 

Testimony 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for God.

Testimony 11

I would love to have a copy of “Healing the Mind” DVDs to have in my therapy office. I enjoy having clients check out materials to enhance their therapy experience. I have sat under Dr. Jennings’ teaching at an American Association of Christian Counselors convention and respect his work greatly.

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 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.

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.

Testimony 21

I am absolutly on fire with the message at Come and Reason! I can’t get enough! I’ve read your book, blog, and articles. I’ve listened to your Bible study podcasts, your radio show, and your series – all excellent! It wasn’t until the past couple of years that I have I like I’m becoming “healthy,” with more to share with others than just beasts and commandments! I used to be a Bible worker and preached when the pastors were gone until I had had enough. I didnt realize at the time what the problem was, but i know now… the message wasn’t properly focused. Now my flame is rekindled. All of your little examples are so perfect in explaining something “complicated” and making it easily understood! Now I’m trying to shape it into a life changing evangelistic series! Thank you!

M.T., USA

 

Testimony 15

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

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!

M.K., USA

 

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

Testimony 24

I wanted to thank you very much for presenting your understanding of God. I’ve always been troubled by this question: Why did Jesus have to die? Since my conversion I understood that The Father & Jesus are one, I did not have issues with that. But was there not any other way to save us than for Jesus to die? I guess I actually had a question about God – if He is so wise, how come He did not find another way? I did not see the real ‘beauty’  in the cross. Only when you explained the picture in the medical context, Jesus providing medicine for my selfishness, have I started to finally ‘see the light’. Thank you so much. Your seminar, “Healing the Mind,” are absolutely marvelous & have shared them with my family and many other people, including colleagues at work. Thanks, thanks, thanks. May God bless you abundantly in your ministry.

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

Testimony 54

I had a lot of pressure, as a pastor’s kid, to conform and be “good.” I was good at being “good.” I thought my life was going along well until it all started falling apart and I could not figure out why! In my search for “why is this happening to me, God?” I came across your book, “Could it be this Simple,” and God started revealing to me the many distortions I held about His character, His principles, and how He has designed His universe to operate. I remember thinking, “Wow, I have had this all backwards.” I was happy and angry all at the same time. Happy to have the light of truth break through the darkness, revealing a wonderful, beautiful way of understanding God and His plan for His children, and angry, because I felt deceived and cheated by the church, my family, and myself!

My heart thrills when I listen to your bible study lessons. Literally I have gone from death to life. It is a journey I look forward to every day, as God reveals areas this distortion affects. Praise GOD! I will ever be grateful to God for this ministry and your cooperation with the Spirit!

Karen S., Portal, AZ, USA

 

Testimony 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn’t for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, “Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!” My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of “repent or burn” towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won’t reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

Sofia S., Ashfield, MA, USA

 

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Paul C.,  Springfield, MA, USA
