CGM Presents: In the Word Podcast Dr. Stephanie Wright and Apostle Charles G. Wright

Episode 5, “The Garden Battles" Series: Step into His Presence"
Today, we will answer the question, “Why did Jesus pray in the Garden of Gethsemane and not somewhere else before he was arrested?”

Hello and welcome to Episode 5 of our series, “Step into His Presence.” My name is Stephanie Wright. Thank you for joining us today. It’s time to go into “The Garden Battles.”

 Why did Jesus spend his final hours in prayer in the garden—in this case, in the Garden of Gethsemane? This was not the only place Jesus had prayed before. He prayed in the mountains all night (Luke 6:12), in public (John 11:41-42, John 12:27-30), before Lazarus was raised from the dead (John 11:41‑45), and at many other times and places. So, why the garden?
 There are many theories, I am sure, as to why Jesus prayed in the garden the night he was arrested before his eventual crucifixion. Well, I would like to propose that Jesus prayed in the garden so he could defeat the devil in the garden. Remember, Adam and Eve failed the test when they were tempted by the devil in the Garden of Eden to eat the fruit of the tree of good and evil. They were strictly forbidden to eat from that tree, but they did it anyway in direct disobedience to God’s command. (Genesis 2:16‑17, Genesis 3).

Hello and welcome to Episode 4, in our series “Step into His Presence.” I’m your host Stephanie Wright.

We will be celebrating Resurrection Sunday or Easter in a few weeks. This is a good time to remember that Jesus died so we might be forgiven for our sins. And did you know that there is a link between forgiveness and hope? So today, we are going to “Step into His Presence for Forgiveness.”

Forgiveness is one of the topics I briefly mentioned in the first episode of the series, “Step into His Presence.” We also covered it in a previous podcast, but it is worth repeating, and this time, we are on YouTube—@cgmissionsinc.

Does forgiveness -or unforgiveness-affect or have an impact on hope? I Googled the question and found there had actually been research done on the topic, which said “yes” forgiveness can affect hope. Now, that’s what scientists discovered, and I thought that was interesting from a scientific perspective.  However, I wanted to consider what the Bible said about how forgiving someone can positively impact hope or, conversely, not forgiving can negatively impact hope. 

Let's get started on today's presentation on forgiveness and hope as we "Step into His Presence."

Hello and welcome to Episode 3 in our series, “Step into His Presence.” I am your host, Stephanie Wright, and today’s episode is “Consecrating to Conquer.”
 We continue discussing Jesus and suffering, but today, we will talk about “Stepping into His Presence” for consecration. We will look at Jesus and how–through His example–we (1) learn to consecrate ourselves in times of testing and (2) how we, like Jesus, consecrate ourselves to fulfill our calling. 

Thank you for joining us.

This is Valentine's week, and we are going to discover that "Love's Got Everything to Do with It." This is the second episode in the series "Step into His Presence." Today, we are going to talk about real love as demonstrated by Jesus Christ when He died for us on the cross. We will also talk about how He suffered for us and why we suffer as Christians. We will also consider the blessings that ultimately come from our suffering.

This is a reboot of the podcast from Day 2, of 2022 Christmas:

Charles George Missions Presents: Day 2 – Christmas Podcast – “Modern Day Shepherds”
Hello and welcome to Day 2 of our Christmas Podcast. We are bringing these daily Christmas podcasts to encourage and lift you up during this season. We are also lifting up the name of Jesus because this is who we celebrate at this time of year. Today we are going to look at the shepherds the caretakers of the sheep who were among the first to receive the good news of Jesus’ birth. We give special recognition today to the caretakers in our society – our health care workers, first responders, caretakers in the home, and all those who have been there in some way for those who are suffering during these challenging times. These are the modern‑day shepherds caring for the sheep. 
We will now start with what is known as our memory share where someone shares their favorite Christmas memory. Today, James McNear, a pastor, accomplished musician and composer, and founder of Macattack Records, will share his favorite Christmas memory and gift. Pastor McNear is the producer of CGM’s Christmas CD “We Love Christmas” selections of which we play on these podcasts. 

"We Love Christmas" singles or the entire album/CD may be purchase on our website at www.cgmissions.com/podcast
