I've just completed rebuilding my personal CV (academic resume, or Curriculum Vitae).  Curriculum Vitae (CV) is a Latin phrase meaning "Course of Life."  It refers to the document people in certain professions create to demonstrate their career-long growth in expertise, experience, and education.  CVs are unlike resumes.  The word "resume" is a 19th century French word meaning "to sum up," meaning that a resume is only supposed to 'summarize' one's life work in the most abbreviated fashion possible, typically a page or two.  In the case of higher education and some other fields, CVs are expected to be substantial and detailed.  They are supposed to document claims to expertise, experience, and education, providing the reader with proof of each.  For this reason, CV's/Expanded Resumes are substantial and usually quite long documents. Here you will find my current CV, one that I built and published personally.  It represents an entirely new approach of building such a resource based on the description above.   There are many images and live links in the document that provide additional content.  I hope you enjoy it.  Additional resources are available at www.freddycardoza.com.  Contact me if you have any questions or would like to learn more.           

What should Christians know?  Is there a body of beliefs that represent what it means to be a Christian?  Are there essential ideas that comprise a Christian way of thinking? Is there such a thing as a biblical worldview? Are there truths that, if known, could help us live with more certainty? Should people expect to live their lives in spiritual confusion? These are the types of questions answered in this podcast, Episode 002 - What Mature Christians Should Know. Take the journey with Podcast Seminary Dean, Dr. Freddy Cardoza, long-time pastor and professor, who explores the idea with you, to help equip you to grow in your faith.   Don't forge to subscribe!

Podcast Seminary helps you grow in your faith.  We do this by creating content in every major thought space: audio podcasts, written blogs, video vlogs, and a host of social media.  Podcast Seminary has been launched to address issues related to faith, Christian discipleship, and ministry. Our resources are created to inspire, inform, and instruct people to get informed and be transformed by the power of truth. Our content is being arranged into 9 essential categories of truth that every believer should understand in order to build a Christian worldview and to be a fully-informed disciple.  Our 9 Essential Categories Foundations Formation Ministry Apologetics Bible Theology Leadership Life Specialized These categories are essentially what the Apostle Paul meant in Acts 20:27 when he said that he did not hesitate to proclaim the "whole counsel of God."  In other words, truth should be provided to people in systematic, comprehensive, practical, and biblical ways.  Most Christians do not receive this type of discipleship experience, and that leads to personal confusion, biblical illiteracy, and a lack of spiritual power.  Though resources in these areas, we will help people fill the gaps in their biblical and discipleship knowledge, then be equipped to live with integrity and power.  Resources are being created for both spiritual seekers and devoted believers.  To request resources you need, simply email the Dean of Podcast Seminary, Dr. Freddy Cardoza, with your ideas at dean@podcastseminary.com or through our general communication loop, feedback@podcastseminary.com.

Why do we do some of the things we do?  What mysteries lie beneath human behavior, including bad behavior? How can some people make decisions that harm themselves and others, and still live with themselves? How can people who do horrible things look themselves in the mirror?  How do sociopaths slip that far into such a dark place?  And, even if we are good people, how do we do sometimes do bad things without feeling bad about them?   This session deals with the issue of the "broken moral compass."    We'll talk about: Keeping secrets from ourselves The effects of lying to or ignoring our conscience How to make decisions by understanding the difference between "matters of conviction, conscience, and choice" The different conditions our conscience can have (strong, weak, seared), and what each of them means. Join us in this exciting discovery of our own hearts and the deep recesses of the human condition. It'll help you understand yourself and others better, leading to better relationships with people and with God.

Christianity is the world's largest religion with over 2 Billion professing believers.  Christianity developed from the Jewish faith, with Jesus of Nazareth, a Jew, being identified as the Messiah of the World.  Christianity spread rapidly, ultimately becoming the official religion of the Roman Empire, in addition to spreading into the Eastern Hemisphere.  This made Christianity global, as it spread to all continents.  Christianity has three major divisions, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestant.  In this podcast, these movements and the essential beliefs of Evangelical Christianity are discussed, along with points of contrast and comparison between biblical concepts and the teachings of other religions.  The conclusion is that, contrary to popular belief, Christianity does not teach the same thing as other religions and that the different religions communicate completely different concepts of God that force people to decide which, if any, faith is true and should be followed.             Christianity: Christian Beliefs Contrasted with Other Religions from Freddy Cardoza

Islam is a religion with, according to some, up to 1.6 Billion followers worldwide.  It is a faith that arose from the Saudi Arabia, but grew throughout Arabia, into broader Asia, Europe, and Africa, then beyond. The history of Islam is complex.  The Quran documents the development of Islamic thought and the Hadiths provide additional information about Muhammad and his life.  Those have given rise to an enormous religion comprised of both peace-loving people and, in some areas, large percentages of extremists.  Islam and Muslims sometimes confuse and confound people of other faiths, and this session was created to help inform people of what Islam teaches, while contrasting Muslim beliefs with the Christian faith and the teachings of Jesus Christ.  Below you will find a slide deck.  It's provided to help you better understand this podcast by allowing you to manually flip through the slides while listening to the lesson.   Islam: A Christian Looks at the Muslim Faith from Freddy Cardoza Enjoy.
