G.G.S. Pt 4 "New Covenant Truth or Calvinistic Theology: What's Shaping Your Beliefs?" (Episode 43[05/08/2026])

Fri, 08 May 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In this Episode(Episode 43) of "The Shield & Sword Podcast", your Hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) begin exploring the ways in which death is approached by the Church. Insights are made concerning the global Church’s earthly experience in places characterized by hardship and hostility beyond what America has experienced(due to America being founded upon Biblical Principles that exalt life, and liberty, etc.), and how that could affect one’s understanding and approach toward death. The two existing realities of God‘s desire for long life and human hostility through persecution are examined Biblically. The origin of death is briefly touched upon and contrasted with God’s life-giving nature. This Fourth Part("New Covenant Truth or Calvinistic Theology: What's Shaping Your Beliefs?") of the current G.G.S.(Gospel Guideposts Series) is sure to enlighten and encourage all those who listen!

G.G.S. Pt 1 "New Covenant Truth or Calvinistic Theology: What's Shaping Your Beliefs?" (Episode 40[02/02/2026])

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0500

In this 40th Episode of "The Shield & Sword Podcast", Your Hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) introduce the root issue of the contaminating influence of Calvinistic theology, namely unscriptural sovereignty, in Part One of "New Covenant Truth or Calvinistic Theology: What's Shaping Your Beliefs?" This Series was deemed important enough for a G.G.S.(Gospel Guideposts Series) tag to be placed on it, because one's beliefs about sovereignty touch literally every belief of what God is like and how He interacts with us. For this reason, this introductory Episode emphasizes that if our views are not shaped by clear New Covenant Truth then we are susceptible to the gravitational pull of any variation of unscriptural sovereignty. These varying degrees of deterministic contamination have been seen since the gnostics of the first century, but popularized by Calvinistic theology in more recent times, thus earning it the representative role of that which is contrary to New Covenant Truth as stated in the series' title. Be enlightened and equipped for a battle in which you may not have realized the side on which you are standing! "The Shield & Sword Podcast" is a Ministry of the FULL GOSPEL FAITH MINISTRIES.

Pt 1 "Knowing the Will of God" (Episode 35[09/01/2025])

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 05:00:00 -0400

In this introductory Episode, your Hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) concisely answer the foundational question of: "Does God desire us to know His will?" Considering that the topic of God's will is as potentially vast as the whole of Scripture, your Hosts focus upon the will of God in relation to His nature that is revealed in and through His Word, most clearly seen in the New Testament declaration of the Word Made Flesh, Jesus Christ. In addition, the recorded prayers of the Apostle Paul, as well as other New Testament leaders, are shown to consistently reinforce the desire for God's will to be known and understood by Believers. Practical advice is given for details of life decisions which the Bible does not specifically prescribe but guides by principles (i.e. spouse, vocation, location, etc). In Part One of "Knowing the Will of God" You will be encouraged afresh to perceive and pursue the will of God by His Word!

Pt 2 "A Crash Course in Calvinism: Calvinism's Contamination" (Episode 33[07/07/2025])

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 05:00:00 -0400

In this bombshell Episode, Calvinism's contamination of church history is traced back to the Gnostic Manichaean views introduced into the church by Augustine. Although unanimously condemned as heresy by the early church fathers for 400 years, these views paved the way for Calvinism, namely a deterministic/fatalistic definition of God's sovereign, micro-managing decree of literally everything. As Your Hosts(Bro. Derek Rich and Pastor Matney) will reveal, Augustine's Gnostic philosophies were smuggled into the church as orthodox in his dishonest effort to condemn as a heretic, a man named Pelagius, whose doctrine was not new to the earliest church fathers who also upheld man's free will/choice against determinism and Gnostic depravity, nor did Pelagius deny man's need for God's grace for salvation as often accused by proponents of Calvinism. In this second part of "A Crash Course in Calvinism", You will be startled to hear how the residue of "Calvinism's Contamination" has reached far beyond the issue of how men are converted, but to how the will and sovereignty of God are understood in every area. "The Shield & Sword Podcast" is a Ministry of the FULL GOSPEL FAITH MINISTRIES.

Pt 1 "A Crash Course in Calvinism: Calvinism's Collapse" (Episode 32[06/02/2025])

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 05:00:00 -0400

In this Episode, Your Hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) begin to introduce a subject that they will further unveil at a later date on "The Shield & Sword Podcast". The Topic on hand is Part One of a Two Part subject, "A Crash Course in Calvinism"; the contents of Part One will focus on the subtitle, "Calvinism's Collapse." Your Hosts discuss the doctrine of Calvinism by focusing on the acrostic, TULIP. In addition to this, they read a reputable Calvinist’s own explanations of the acrostic(TULIP), and reply with Biblically measured responses . A vital point is made as to where Calvinists often prefer to begin with “Total Depravity”, rather than where one must begin with what they call God’s “Sovereign Decree” or “Determinism.” A small sampling of the Scriptural and logical fallacies of Calvinism are explored, thus exposing its collapse into absurdity, with even blasphemous implications. Calvinism’s irreconcilable contradictions prove its own application to be the sword on which it dies. "The Shield & Sword Podcast" is a Ministry of the FULL GOSPEL FAITH MINISTRIES.

For further reading regarding calvinism and its error, Your Hosts recommend:

"Hindrances to a Biblically Defined Faith" (Episode 30[04/07/2025])

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 05:00:00 -0400

In this 30th Episode of "The Shield & Sword Podcast", Your Hosts(Bro. Derek Rich and Pastor Matney) have an open and candid discussion concerning "Hindrances to a Biblically Defined Faith". Some key, yet seldom mentioned elements of that definition are presented, i.e. According to Jesus, Faith in God involves believing what you say will come to pass. Subtle hindrances are examined that have not been dealt with in previous Episodes, such as not being a person of your word or not being a determined person, to name a couple. Such unrefined character traits make a healthy, effective Faith more difficult to operate in, especially in situations of urgency. Our lifestyle, developed in the Spirit of Faith, will prepare us for specific moments when trials and difficulties arise. In this 30th Episode, you will be challenged and called by Grace to be someone, perhaps of the minority, in whom the Lord "shall find Faith" according to His definition! Let's grow and go forward in the kind of Faith that pleases God! "The Shield & Sword Podcast" is a Ministry of the FULL GOSPEL FAITH MINISTRIES.

Pt 8 "Suffering: A Biblical Perspective" (Episode 29[03/03/2025])

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 04:00:00 -0500

In this eighth and final part of the current series, "Suffering: A Biblical Perspective", Your Hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) emphasize how our understanding of God's Will, specifically as it relates to suffering, must be consistent with His desires that are expressed as possible, even if they do not seem probable due to a fallen world and human tendencies. Even Jesus, who was cognizant of the Scripture's prediction that He would be despised and rejected, wept over His people's(Israel) rejection of Him because it was contrary to God's Will. A couple of such divinely desired possibilities are that all be Saved and come to Repentance, and that His people(Believers) live godly, honest lives in peace and tranquility. Fascinating insights into the Apostle Paul's perspective on persecution are shared from the Book of Acts, as well as a special look into the statement in Hebrews 5:8b that says Jesus "...learned obedience by the things which he suffered;". Ultimately, the listener is exhorted to not accept false narratives about suffering, even if emotionally stimulating, because they give place to that from which we Redeemed and over which we were given the Right in Christ to resist.

Pt 5 "Suffering: A Biblical Perspective" (Episode 24[10/07/2024])

Mon, 07 Oct 2024 04:00:00 -0400

In this particular episode(Episode 24 - Part 5 of "Suffering: A Biblical Perspective") of "The Shield & Sword Podcast", your hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rick) delve deeply into the categorical errors that are often made when applying the numerous New Testament passages about suffering, which in all actuality describe the early church's historical context of persecution. The Apostle Paul, for one, clearly recognized that the suffering He experienced at the hands of his persecutors was due to their rebellion against and not their reflection of God's good will toward Paul(a vital distinction). Paul's thorn in the flesh is addressed in a concise, yet clarifying manner. A very eye-opening truth is presented concerning the costly misconception that God wills that someone experience His revealed will in His Word(i.e. conversion resulting in Salvation) at the expense of willing someone else to experience that which is contrary to His revealed will(i.e. car accident, cancer, etc., resulting in premature death, even eternal damnation). You will find this episode very impactful! "The Shield & Sword Podcast" is a Ministry of the FULL GOSPEL FAITH MINISTRIES.

Pt 4 "Suffering: A Biblical Perspective" (Episode 23[09/02/2024])

Mon, 02 Sep 2024 05:00:00 -0400

In this riveting Episode(Twenty-Three, Part 4 - "Suffering - A Biblical Perspective") of "The Shield & Sword Podcast", Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich, examine a common idea relating to God's purpose of suffering. A quick exegesis is given to perhaps the most frequently referenced passage used in explaining such items as God's divine purpose in all things good and bad, Romans 8:28. Contrary to popular opinion(mostly driven by a calvinistic paradigm of the Scripture), God does not agree that the “ends” justify the “means” when those means involve His planning and preferring of evil or suffering at the cost of compromising His nature and the integrity of His Word, as identified in Romans 3:8. Rather, He can REDEEM that for which He is not RESPONSIBLE, as presented in Romans 12:21. Our Redeemer is more pleased and glorified when we zealously maintain the aforementioned distinction, and we are all the more comforted and endeared to Him because He is truly a good Father.

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 15:00:00 -0400

In this third B.F.B.(Bonus Feature Broadcast), your Hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) are joined by first-time special guest, Rev. Trever Metheny of Coweta, OK., to discuss the severity of the failed current administration and the significance of this presidential election to our future as the United States of America. Profound insights are shared as to what brought our nation face to face with the current problems of our day. Such examples would be the long range plan of indoctrination by public or government education, as well as accommodating media outlets that help to foster lies instead of basic, unbiased reporting. As Believers, we must be willing to fulfill both our immediate and long term strategic roles as salt and light(Matthew 5:13-16), occupying until Christ returns.

Pt 3 "Suffering: A Biblical Perspective" (Episode 22[08/05/2024])

Tue, 06 Aug 2024 15:00:00 -0400

In this Third Part of “Suffering: A Biblical Perspective”, Your Hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) continue on with the importance of defining God's Will in a way that pleases Him. Our conclusions about His involvement in our suffering must uphold the Truth that there is no darkness in Him at all. His nature is why Heaven is described the way it is. It may be surprising to us who have been tempted to think that God is less affected by human suffering to see that Scripture actually declares that He is affected much more profoundly than we can comprehend. A statement of major importance is set forth as follows: God's will(or preference, for sake of clarity) cannot be defined by what He can turn for good or Redeem from, but by what He desired beforehand. God is Thankfully, Redeemer of less than His preferable situations, in ways that bring about our good and His Glory. Nevertheless, what Jesus would do in a given situation is what would bring optimal human good and Glory to Him. A few significant current events are also addressed.

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 15:00:00 -0400

In this Twenty - First Episode of "The Shield & Sword Podcast", more foundational truths are laid out in Part 2 of “Suffering: A Biblical Perspective” in order to prepare the way for upcoming in-depth exegesis of passages containing words/concepts like suffering, affliction, tribulation, persecution, etc. Your Hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) cannot overemphasize the vital understanding that God is not the Originator of suffering, and that we must let God be God regarding questions about how New Testament Scriptures referring to God's eternal plan for those in Christ would correlate and should be understood had God's genuine desires and demands for humanity always been upheld. You will also benefit from the presentation of distinct categories/kinds of suffering and the importance of properly distinguishing those categories as we move into the agents involved. “The Shield & Sword Podcast” is a Ministry of the FULL GOSPEL FAITH MINISTRIES.

Mon, 15 Apr 2024 00:00:00 -0400

In Part 5(Episode 18) of the current Gospel Guideposts Series, "Redeemed From The Curse of The Law", your Hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) further explain how God took great effort articulating in the ears of all the people the nature of Blessings and Cursings from two distinct mountain tops in Scripture. In a similar manner, as God appointed spokespersons to announce the Sinai Covenant, He has made us able ministers of the New Covenant so that the reading of the Will and Testament are plainly stated and clearly understood to those who will listen. Ministers of the Word are exhorted to prioritize the understanding of those that listen to them even above that which pertains to emotions. When properly understood, our Redemption from the Curse of the Law and the benefits enjoyed through the Blessing of Abraham, ultimately brings healthy expressions of both deep reverence and great joy! In Christ, we have a Redemption worth rejoicing about! "The Shield & Sword Podcast" is a Ministry of the FULL GOSPEL FAITH MINISTRIES.

Pt 3) by further exploring the topic at hand, "Redeemed from the Curse of the Law". According to the Apostle Paul, “the Blessing of Abraham” is a result of Christ’s Redemptive work on our behalf which should be believed and received as New Covenant Children of God in Christ, the Seed of Abraham. Attention is given to the distinction between a servant vs Sonship mentality; you will see how to better identify with and walk in the Blessing of Abraham. As mature Sons who serve, we should follow the example of our “Faith Forefather”, Abraham, who maintained his love, trust, obedience, humility, generosity, etc., while being greatly Blessed in silver and gold, livestock and resources, as well as authority and influence. Also, in context, the Blessings and curses(obedience to the Word vs disobedience) found in Deuteronomy, along with insightful(and possibly somewhat surprising) pointers concerning contributing factors in one’s length of life are shared. Wherever you find yourself and whatever your experience has been, start walking the Word out by Faith, and like Abraham, watch THE BLESSING overtake you!

G.G.S. Pt 2 "Redeemed from the Curse of the Law" (Episode 15[02/05/2024])

Mon, 05 Feb 2024 19:00:00 -0500

In G.G.S. Part 2 "Redeemed from the Curse of the Law", Your Hosts(Pastor Matney & Bro. Derek Rich) discuss several reasons for which the law was given. God's good and just character is upheld while addressing possible, and even some popular misconceptions. The law DID NOT testify to God being unrealistic in His expectations for humanity, rather the law EXPOSED humanity's unwillingness to comply and rely upon God. Obedience was the expressed goal under both law and Faith, but the law highlighted our disconnect from the source of strength, while FAITH HIGHLIGHTS our connection to that grace through Christ. Powerful insights are shared regarding God's pre-law dealings with Cain and Abraham as welI His post-law dealings with mankind. You will be more in awe of the love and wisdom of our God in His Redemptive plan through Christ! "The Shield & Sword Podcast" is a Ministry of the FULL GOSPEL FAITH MINISTRIES.

In this 10th episode of "The Shield & Sword Podcast", Pastor Matney shares some of how the Faith Conference came into being. He tells of how the Lord gave him such a strong burden and vision for a conference devoted to the all-encompassing topic of Bible Faith. God's Word has placed a high priority upon our Faith. If every area of our lives is to please God, then every area must be characterized by Faith. Co-host, Bro. Derek Rich, also joins Pastor Matney to unpack how Faith, as defined and recognized by God, is perhaps one of the most assumed virtues, while often being misunderstood. Several remarkable passages are explored and explained, shedding light on how God is pleased by our receiving from Him through Faith. You will find this power-packed episode to be well worth your time and consideration. We thoroughly trust that You'll be Blessed by this 10th episode, "Vision for the Annual Faith Conference", and also, we'd love to meet you at the 8th Annual Faith Conference 2023 hosted by Pastor Travis Matney and New Life Holiness Church in Lake Placid, FL.

G.G.S. Pt 5 "Dominion: The Missing Message" (Episode 9[09/2023])

Sun, 24 Sep 2023 18:00:00 -0400

In this fifth and final part of "Dominion: The Missing Message"(a continuation of the "Gospel Guideposts Series"[G.G.S.]), Pastor Jeff Owen(Pastor of the Gospel Lighthouse Holiness Church in Texarkana, AR.) joins the hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) to discuss the reality of Dominion in the life of Jesus Christ. As the Last Adam, Christ not only brought us the clearest revelation of the Dominion for which humanity was made, but He also restored it to those who believe on Him. He declared and demonstrated the Gospel of the Kingdom which is the Good News that God's superiority over all His enemies can be experienced. Our Master built His Church with a group of followers whom He had trained to walk in His Authority. Now as the blood-bought, Spirit-indwelt and empowered Body of Christ, we are called to walk in Dominion over sin and self, sickness, and Satan. Some very helpful perspectives are shared concerning when our experience looks different than Dominion and so much more. You will find this finale to be greatly challenging and encouraging!

G.G.S. Pt 4 "Dominion: The Missing Message" (Episode 8[08/2023])

Sun, 27 Aug 2023 01:00:00 -0400

In Part 4 of the series, "Dominion: The Missing Message"(a continuation of the "Gospel Guideposts Series"[G.G.S.]), your hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) shed some light on specific Old Testament insights concerning God’s giving of Dominion to man, such as an exemplary description given by Pharaoh(Genesis 41:40), as well as an exemplary demonstration in the case of Elijah speaking concerning the rain(First Kings 17:1). Also, the necessity of going beyond "second hand revelation" of God’s Word is emphasized; what we don't know can in fact hurt us. Lazy theology and cliche answers often expose the lack of understanding concerning the relationship between the Sovereignty of God and the Dominion given to man(as the Scriptures indicate that God Sovereignly chose to do). A strong case is made that every unfulfilled desire of God and every contrary thing to the Will of God stems from either the misuse of free will or the failure to exercise Dominion(or the disuse of Dominion). Not by external influences but by His own choice to value relationships of love and trust(better understood as the Integrity of His Word), God is voluntarily prevented from the forcible, unilateral intervention which would require Him to dominate/overthrow man’s free will or to disannul/overturn man's Dominion(further explanation of these, and other statements, will be given in future Podcasts); to do so would mean the removal of the image of God from mankind and the forfeiture of His(God's) intentions. In short, a creation in which God causally predetermined everything, at the expense of love and trust, was never His Will.

G.G.S. Pt 3 "Dominion: The Missing Message" (Episode 7[07/2023])

Sun, 23 Jul 2023 01:00:00 -0400

In Part 3 of "Dominion: The Missing Message"(a continuation of the "Gospel Guideposts Series"[G.G.S.]), your hosts, Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich explore the results of when man, who was given dominion, yielded and submitted to the tempting voice of the devil. A very tragically overlooked perspective regarding the problem of evil and suffering is also emphasized. In spite of Satan's acquired, although illegitimate, authority in the world, we can see glimpses of people throughout the Old Testament who by faith and the power of God, experienced a taste of the dominion and authority for which we(mankind, but most notably, the Born Again Believers) were created. The momentum of this series is definitely building! "The Shield & Sword Podcast" is a Ministry of the FULL GOSPEL FAITH MINISTRIES.

G.G.S. Pt 2 "Dominion: The Missing Message" (Episode 6[06/2023])

Sun, 25 Jun 2023 15:00:00 -0400

In Part 2 of “Dominion: The Missing Message”(a continuation of the “Gospel Guideposts Series”[G.G.S.]), Pastor Matney and Bro. Rich dive deeper into the significance of mankind being made in the image and likeness of God. God intended man to be holy and blameless in an unending relationship of love and trust. A very profound observation is presented of how Adam and Eve were more aware of the spiritual part of their being than even the physical, as evidenced by their reaction after they sinned. With all the implications concerning God’s plan of Redemption, you will find this episode edifying and enlightening! “The Shield & Sword Podcast” is a Ministry of the FULL GOSPEL FAITH MINISTRIES.

Pt 4 "The Love of the Truth" (Episode 4[04/2023])

Sat, 27 May 2023 14:00:00 -0400

In this fourth and final part of the series("The Love of the Truth"), the topic of hinderances is further explained with an emphasis of how Satan, the father of lies, strategizes to infiltrate doctrine and belief systems. Sincere falsehood is not safe from harmful consequences. A shocking discovery of the kind of spirit/attitude behind the rejection of truth is also revealed. The right and wrong concepts of terminology like "tradition(s)" and "religion" are biblically differentiated. After the warning, the episode is concluded with a positive exhortation to continually renew our minds to the truth, which brings transformation in our lifestyle. As declarers and doers of the Word, we fulfill the worthy cause of taking truth to all the world! May we always be lovers of truth!

Pt 3 "The Love of the Truth" (Episode 3[03/2023])

Fri, 28 Apr 2023 16:00:00 -0400

In this episode, the hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Rich) begin discussing the uncomfortable but necessary responsibility of identifying hinderances to following the truth wherever it leads us. Each of us must maintain humility and honesty in our approach to understanding God's Word. There are many obstacles to objectivity in our interpretation of the Bible. Christians recognize that in order for a sinner to be saved, the sinner must be willing to admit wrong/error, repent, and receive the change that Christ brings. All of this is expected of the sinner when he/she is confronted with the light of God's truth. As Christians, it is needful to ask ourselves: "How do I respond when further light of the Word shines on my path? Am I as willing to admit error and adjust my beliefs/practice?" After all, we are called to "walk in the light as He is in the light" which implies a lifestyle of forward movement/progress in our spiritual growth and maturity.

Pt 2 "The Love of the Truth" (Episode 2[02/2023])

Fri, 28 Apr 2023 16:00:00 -0400

In this second part of the series, Pastor Matney and Bro. Rich dig into what the Bible itself says about truth, such as God being the Source of truth, His Word being the standard, and the Son being truth personified in a man. This being the case, our only reasonable and appropriate response is to both love and seek after truth supremely. God's truth sets us free, sanctifies, and safeguards us both in this present world and for all eternity. "The Shield & Sword Podcast" is a Ministry of the FULL GOSPEL FAITH MINISTRIES.

Pt 1 "The Love of the Truth" (Episode 1[01/2023])

Fri, 28 Apr 2023 16:00:00 -0400

In this inaugural episode, Pastor Travis Matney of New Life Holiness Church in Lake Placid, FL and Missionary/Evangelist Derek Rich begin with the most foundational of all choices that we must make: Settle in our hearts that the Bible is the Word of God and thus, the First and Final Authority for knowing truth. Themes such as the Uniqueness of the Bible, the Written Word and Uniqueness of Jesus Christ, as well as the Word Made Flesh are covered. This includes a profound observation of how Christ endorsed the Old and New Testament Scriptures, thereby confirming the Bible as the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God. The discussion concludes with the continuing confirmation of our experiencing God through the Scriptures, which is the purpose for which His Word was given to us.
