  • Starving in a Feast: When "More" Isn't the Answer
    Jun 17 2025

    We say we want more clarity from God, more detail in Scripture, more proof to believe. But what if we're starving, not because God hasn’t spoken or provided enough evidence but because we haven’t listened? This episode challenges the idea that we need “more” and instead asks: What are we doing with what we’ve already been given? You’ll be reminded that God has spoken, his Word is enough, and faith grows by trusting what’s already been shown, not by demanding more signs.

  • The Balanced Believer: Mind, Body, Bank, Spirit
    Jun 10 2025

    Is it possible to be spiritually on fire but physically, mentally, or financially falling apart? This episode confronts a dangerous myth in Christian circles—that holiness means neglecting other parts of your life. We will dive into why followers of Jesus should stop settling for dysfunction in areas God clearly cares about and examine how imbalance in any one area can drag down the rest. God didn’t call you to be mediocre in every other area while being “super spiritual.” He wants your whole life.

  • The Poison Disguised as Culture
    Jun 3 2025

    In this episode, we'll confront a hard non-microwaved truth: Not everything culture celebrates is harmless. From viral mantras like “live your truth” and “do you” to deeper societal shifts around race, justice, identity, and pleasure—have we been drinking poison dressed in the clothes of freedom, fun, or fairness?

  • Eating Away From God ... or Toward Him?
    May 27 2025

  • We’re at War: Should We Make Friends With Our Enemies?
    May 20 2025

    In this episode, we will confront the real battle lines in life—spiritual, internal, and relational. Are you fighting the wrong enemies while compromising with the ones who truly oppose God's will? Discover why loving your enemies doesn’t mean befriending them and how compromising with darkness always leads to loss. It's time to stop seeking approval from what you're meant to resist—and stand firm in the war you're already in.

  • Call Out or Lift Up? When to Rebuke and When to Restore
    May 13 2025

    Do you naturally lift people up—or feel called to call them out? In this episode, we'll wrestle with the tension between calling out arrogance and lifting up the ashamed, because both require Spirit-led wisdom. One of the worst things we can do is kick someone when they’re already down—but just as dangerous is empowering someone who's stuck in sin and denial.

  • The False Peace Killing Our Homes
    May 6 2025

    Families are avoiding godly conflict in the name of comfort, but real love demands real battles for truth. Silence and compromise open the door to deeper sin. If you’re tired of watching your family drift from God while everyone smiles and stays silent, this is for you. It’s time to battle in the Spirit, not avoid in fear. In this episode we'll dig into the dangerous false peace that’s killing spiritual growth inside our homes.

  • The Dangerous Comfort of a Partial God
    Apr 29 2025

    Who do you say God is? A friend? A jerk? A judge? A healer? A provider? So often, we reduce the Creator of the universe to a single role that suits our comfort, our desires, or our limitations. In this episode, we’ll dive into how we limit God's identity—choosing his mercy but rejecting his justice, calling him Father but ignoring his discipline, seeing him as our provider while forgetting his holiness. Let’s wrestle with the truth of who God is.
