about amen podcast:

Alex, an ordained pastor, husband and father of 5 (almost 6), has been serving in online ministry together for 10 years. In 2019, he asked God what He wanted him to do. In an effort to use more of his gifts, Alex had the idea of doing live online social media church services with his wife and children. Nine months later, COVID-19 lockdowns began. Many would say the Wilsons were “ahead of the curve”, but they were simply obeying God’s call. The church services have since evolved into simple, weekly sermon-style podcast episodes, with the intention to encourage listeners to attend local, physical churches, but to abide in the teaching of the Word during the week. Every Sunday, Alex exegetically preaches God’s Word to thousands and Lokelani hosts the podcast, while also serving as co-editor and creative director. Alex is editor, videographer, teacher and preacher of our ministry. We also host a church service every sunday night at our home we call House Church. Amen Podcast is a ministry, a 501(c)3 non-profit religious organization with the mission to preach the good news of Jesus Christ and how it applies to everyday life. Our hope is that the preaching of God’s word will transform the believer and convict the sinner unto repentance and salvation.

what we believe

I. The Scriptures

The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction.

II. God

There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe.

A. God the Father

God as Father reigns with providential care over His universe, His creatures, and the flow of the stream of human history according to the purposes of His grace.

B. God the Son

Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus Christ He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.

C. God the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He inspired holy men of old to write the Scriptures. Through illumination He enables men to understand truth. He exalts Christ. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.

III. Man

Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation.

IV. Sin

All persons are born in sin and guilt and unable to keep God’s law because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve.

V. Salvation

Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer.

VI. God's Purpose of Grace

Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which He regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners. It is consistent with the free agency of man, and comprehends all the means in connection with the end.

VII. The Church

A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel.

VIII. Baptism and the Lord's Supper

Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Lord’s supper or Communion, the breaking of bread and drinking of wine (or in our case, grape juice), reminds the believer of the last supper Jesus shared with His disciples before His death.

IX. The Lord's Day

The first day of the week is the Lord's Day. It is a Christian institution for regular observance. It commemorates the resurrection of Christ from the dead and should include exercises of worship and spiritual devotion, both public and private.

X. The Kingdom

The Kingdom of God includes both His general sovereignty over the universe and His particular kingship over men who willfully acknowledge Him as King.

XI. Last Things

God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring the world to it’s appropriate end.

XII. Evangelism and Missions

It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and of every church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations.

XIII. Education

Christianity is the faith of enlightenment and intelligence. In Jesus Christ abide all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. All sound learning is, therefore, a part of our Christian heritage.

XIV. Stewardship

God is the source of all blessings, temporal and spiritual; all that we have and are we owe to Him.

XV. Cooperation

Christ's people should, as occasion requires, organize such associations and conventions as may best secure cooperation for the great objects of the Kingdom of God.

XVI. The Christian and the Social Order

All Christians are under obligation to seek to make the will of Christ supreme in our own lives and in human society.

XVII. Peace and War

It is the duty of Christians to seek peace with all men on principles of righteousness. In accordance with the spirit and teachings of Christ they, should do all in their power to put an end to war.

XVIII. Religious Liberty

God alone is Lord of the conscience, and He has left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men which are contrary to His Word or not contained in it.

XIX. The Family

God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by marriage (one male and one female) and biological and/or adopted children.
