What is real proof of faith?

In this episode of Sons of Issachar, we continue our Restoration series by examining a foundational question: how do we know what is true? Is faith based on personal experience, or is it grounded in something more certain?

Looking back at the Restoration Movement, faithful preachers emphasized that true biblical faith is built on facts and evidence revealed in God’s Word—not on subjective experiences or claims of direct, personal operation of the Holy Spirit apart from Scripture.

In this discussion, we explore:

• The difference between faith based on evidence and faith based on experience
• How Scripture presents faith as rooted in truth that can be known and understood
• Why restoration preachers rejected emotional or experiential “proof” as authority
• The role of God’s Word as the foundation for belief, conviction, and unity
• How Christians today can build a confident, evidence-based faith

Faith is not blind—it is built on what God has revealed. When we anchor our belief in Scripture, we stand on a foundation that is sure, knowable, and unchanging.

If we are committed to restoring New Testament Christianity, we must return to a faith grounded in facts, evidence, and the truth of God’s Word.

In this episode of Sons of Issachar, we continue our Restoration series by examining one of the most important — and often misunderstood — subjects in modern Christianity: the work of the Holy Spirit.

Throughout the Restoration Movement, faithful men emphasized a vital biblical truth — that the Holy Spirit works through the revealed Word of God. Rather than relying on subjective feelings, private revelations, or emotional experiences, restoration leaders called believers back to Scripture as the Spirit’s inspired message.

In this discussion, we explore:

• The Holy Spirit’s role in revealing divine truth
• How the Spirit operates through the Word of God
• Why understanding this principle is essential for unity
• How confusion about the Spirit has led many away from restoration principles
• The confidence Christians can have when guided by Scripture

God is not the author of confusion. The Spirit revealed truth, preserved truth, and continues to guide believers through that truth today.

If we are serious about restoring New Testament Christianity, we must understand how the Spirit works — and trust the Word He revealed.

In Season 3, Episode 3 of Sons of Issachar, Bill and Scott dig deeper into the foundational principles of the Restoration Movement and why they remain essential for Christians today.

This episode focuses on five powerful restoration truths:

✔️ The unity of God’s people
✔️ The authority of the New Testament
✔️ Respecting the silence of Scripture
✔️ The certainty that we can know and understand God’s Word
✔️ The truth that the Holy Spirit works through the revealed Word

In a religious world filled with division, opinion, and uncertainty, this discussion calls believers back to clarity, confidence, and conviction rooted in Scripture alone. Restoration is not about nostalgia — it is about returning to God’s design for His Church.

If you care about biblical unity, scriptural authority, and faithfully following God’s pattern, this episode is essential listening.
