The Followed By Mercy Podcast
Real Grace, Honest Hope
You might notice a new name and a fresh look, but the heart behind this podcast is the same. After years as the World Evangelism Podcast, I sensed God leading me to a deeper, more personal path centered on His relentless mercy and the kind of honest hope that can reach into every hurting place. That’s why this show is now called Followed By Mercy Podcast. The format may shift, and the tone may be a bit more personal, but my mission hasn’t changed: I still believe the world desperately needs to hear the good news of God’s love in Jesus Christ. You are welcome here if you’ve been with me from the beginning or just found us now.
What if God’s love is more personal, stubborn, and relentless than you ever imagined?
Welcome to The Followed By Mercy Podcast, where we get honest about pain, hope, and the kind of grace that finds you right where you are, five days a week. This isn’t about religious performance or church routines. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt worn out, unseen, or unsure if they belong in the story of God’s love. Every conversation is rooted in this reality: God loves you right now, just as you are, and He isn’t giving up on you.
Here’s what you’ll find in every episode:
Experience God’s Relentless Love
Every show starts by reminding you that the Shepherd knows your name, cares about your story, and isn’t offended by your failures or questions. This is personal—it’s about God’s unwavering affection for you.
Find Your Place in His Heart
Once you grasp how fiercely you’re loved, sharing that love with others doesn’t feel forced. It becomes the most natural thing in the world. Real grace overflows.
Prayer That Changes You
We pray together—not just for the world “out there,” but for the battles and hopes you’re carrying right now. These prayers are honest, rooted in Scripture, and meant for hearts that need a gentle touch from the Shepherd.
Discover Your Unique Role
Whether you’re called to go, give, serve, or show kindness in your corner of the world, God’s mercy meets you where you are. You’re not just a bystander. You are His beloved, invited into the story He’s writing.
When life knocks the wind out of you, this is a place to catch your breath. You’ll hear the encouragement that meets you on your hardest days, and your honest questions will be welcomed. No pretending, no heavy-handed advice—just the reminder that your Shepherd is right there with you, walking every step with you, even when you feel like giving up.
Why does this matter? Because some days, it feels like nobody sees you or cares what you’re going through. But the truth is, you have a Shepherd who never takes His eyes off you, lets you slip through the cracks, and never gives up on you. That kind of love can put you back on your feet, and it might be the hope someone else is waiting to see in you, too.
If you’re longing for more than just religious talk—if you want to know you’re not alone and that God’s mercy is following you all the way home, you’re in the right place. Whether you listen in the car, on a walk, or in a quiet moment, let every episode remind you: God’s mercy is after you right now, ready to bring real grace and honest hope.

The Foundations of Belief: A Journey through Genesis 1-11
Do you ever wonder how the foundations of our faith were laid or why certain biblical stories spark so much debate? Join us as we unravel the profound narratives of Genesis 1 through 11, exploring the creation story, the Great Flood, and God's covenants with humanity. We'll tackle the skepticism these chapters often face, guided by insights from scientist and Bible believer Henry Morris, who calculated that up to 7 billion people might have lived during the time of the flood. Discover why these stories are not just ancient myths but pivotal accounts of divine intervention and promises.
Our discussion includes personal reflections and memories that highlight the significance of God's promises, such as the rainbow covenant, which assures no more universal floods. We'll also delve into the institution of capital punishment in Genesis 9:5 and why it holds critical importance in God's early laws. Through these narratives, we revisit God's acts of mercy and grace, emphasizing that despite human wickedness, God’s love and salvation remain available. Tune in for a comprehensive look at these monumental beginnings and understand why the book of Genesis continues to be a cornerstone of faith.

Of course, some most interesting and exciting things take place in Genesis 1 through 11. They are the most maligned chapters in the Bible. God doubters and Bible disbelievers don't like Genesis 1 through 11. They hate the creation, of course, because if there is a creator, then there is a God and a judge. They highly dislike the flood because then God just stepped in and did something and, as you know, we saw earlier that up to 7 billion people might've been living on the earth when the flood happened. And at least that's what Henry Morris said, a scientist that studied the Bible, believed the Bible and then did the math and the work. Believed the Bible and then did the math and the work. And so they hate this.
Speaker 1:But a lot happens, and one of the things that happens is that God establishes a covenant with man and animals. In Genesis, chapter six, verse 18, he said but with thee will I establish my covenant and you shall come to the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your son's wives. And one of those covenants we've looked at briefly in another video in 821, he said I will not again curse the ground anymore, for man's sake, neither will I smite anymore every living thing, because you know you killed everything except what was on the ark. The fish lived, maybe some plant life floated, who knows? But the lot that was there was what was on the ark. And I want you to notice that man is still evil but that God is going to have mercy and grace. That's the story throughout the whole Bible, that God is a God of grace. You need to remember that. You can't earn your way to God. God loves you and God comes to us to save us. Part of that covenant was that there would be no more universal floods.
Speaker 1:I do not believe the Bible teaches that at all and I'm a Bible believer. I don't believe in a localized flood. I believe if it went above the highest mountain it got in the next valley. If it got in the next valley, it went above the highest mountain, it got in the next valley and went above the highest mountain. It got all around the earth. You say I don't see how that could happen. I don't see how the world could be created from nothing in six days.
Speaker 1:But I know when the Bible says it, god says it and he means it. But he says in Genesis 9, 11, I will establish my covenant with you. Neither shall all flesh be cut off anymore by the waters of a flood. Neither shall there be any more be a flood to destroy the earth. I think it's one of the most interesting memories I have.
Speaker 1:As a child we lived on a little bitty two or three room house up on the hill. No running water, I'm not even sure we had electricity, but I was very young. No indoor bathroom, obviously, but it's the earliest memory I have. My mother showed me a rainbow and said God made a promise and a covenant with that and I still remember. And she said that God had one time cursed the earth and God had destroyed everybody but eight people on an ark. And now he had promised that every time we saw that rainbow we could remember that God had made his promise and God was not going to destroy the earth anymore by the use of a flood, and I thank God for that. There'll be no more interruptions of the cycle of nature In Genesis 8, 22,. While the earth remains seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease. So you can just trust God on that. The last cataclysmic event that place at the flood and the next one will be when Jesus comes to take us home in the rapture and then later comes and sets up his kingdom on earth.
Speaker 1:In Genesis, chapter nine and verse five, god instituted capital punishment. He said and surely, your blood, of your lives, will I require at the hand of every beast, will I require at the hand of the man, at the hand of every man's brother will I require it? Whoso sheddeth man's blood by man, shall his blood be shed for the image of God is in him. So God established capital punishment, and so I just want you to know that God is making a lot in Genesis as the book of beginnings, and God is setting up a whole lot of things in the very beginning, and we give thanks to God for that. Thank you for listening. I invite you to give it a like and subscribe and share with some of your friends, if you would.
