The Faith of the Father(s) w/ Karl Gessler
The Faith of the Father (s) is a podcast devoted to proclaiming and demonstrating the reality of Jesus Christ—risen from the dead and actively at work today, healing the sick and casting out demons just as He did in the Scriptures.
Rooted in the careful study of the Bible and the witness of the Church throughout history, this podcast seeks to learn from the faith of the fathers—from the earliest believers to faithful witnesses in the present day. We hold that the ministry of Jesus did not end in the Gospels, but continues through men and women indwelt by the Holy Spirit and obedient to His voice.
Hosted by Karl Gessler, The Faith of the Fathers features candid conversations with those who have walked out of deep trauma, abuse, and bondage and have found real healing in Jesus. It also includes interviews with believers who have witnessed and participated in profound works of God—miracles of healing, deliverance, salvation, and even the raising of the dead—through courageous and faithful obedience to Christ.
At its core, this podcast affirms a simple conviction: God intends to govern the world through human beings filled with His Spirit, living in truth, authority, and love. By returning to Scripture and the lived faith of the Church, The Faith of the Fathers invites listeners to know Jesus not as a distant figure of the past, but as the living Lord who continues His work today.

hello and Gods blessings in Jesus to you and your family ✌🏽 Just a note regarding the conversation w brackin Kirkland about Luke 21. I agree and appreciate the preterist angle of interpretation you both hold regarding the Olivet discourse of our Lord. One thing I thought of while listening is regarding those who think this is talking about ‘the end of the world”. There may be many reasons they read it that way, but one obvious reason is simply the KJV rendition of the parallel passage in Matthew 24:3: where it reads “...what shall be the sign of the coming, end of the end of the world ?"If that’s the main version one reads or hear, it’s no wonder a modern reader would place it in the context of the end of the world. (versus the end of the αιωνος/)
