Christianity Episodes

God’s judgment is never meaningless. In Isaiah 1:24-27, we see that God’s discipline has a purpose—to remove what is impure and restore what has been broken. While sin deserves judgment, God desires redemption. His refining fire is not meant to destroy His people but to make them holy once again.In today’s episode, we’ll discover how God transforms lives through His refining work and why His promise of restoration is still available today through Jesus Christ.

The father in the parable of the prodigal son is more than a loving parent—he is a picture of the heart of God. When viewed through the customs and culture of first-century Judaism, the father’s actions become even more remarkable. Every step he took challenged cultural expectations and demonstrated grace, mercy, forgiveness, and restoration.In today’s episode, we’ll examine the father’s actions through the lens of Jewish customs. We’ll discover why he ran to his son, why he embraced him before hearing his confession, why he gave him a robe, ring, and sandals, and why he celebrated instead of shaming him. Most importantly, we’ll see how this points us to Jesus, who endured the cross “for the joy that was set before Him,” making restoration possible for every repentant sinner.

Habitual sin is one of the most dangerous patterns in a believer’s life—not because it always feels severe, but because it slowly dulls conviction and distances us from God. In this episode, we confront the reality of repeated sin through the lens of Scripture.Looking at 1 John 3:9 and Revelation 3:15–17, we examine the difference between struggling against sin and settling into it. We also reflect on real biblical examples—Abraham’s repeated deception and David’s fall with Bathsheba—to understand how even faithful people can fall into patterns if they are not vigilant.This episode is a call to wake up, repent, and pursue true freedom in Christ.

Spiritual growth isn’t automatic—it requires intentional surrender. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to “lay aside” the things that hinder our walk with Christ. Peter doesn’t just tell us what to pursue; he clearly identifies what must go.If we want to grow, we must crave the Word—and if we crave the Word, we must clear out what corrupts our appetite. This episode challenges believers to examine their hearts, remove spiritual toxins, and return to a pure hunger for God’s truth.

What is your salvation really worth?In a world where everything seems to have a price tag, it’s easy to lose sight of the true cost of redemption. The apostle Peter reminds us that we weren’t bought with temporary, perishable things like silver or gold—but with something infinitely more valuable: the precious blood of Jesus Christ.This episode lays the foundation for our entire series by focusing on the sacrifice that made our salvation possible. When we truly understand what Jesus paid, it changes how we live, how we worship, and how we see ourselves.

We live in a world that is confused, compromised, and constantly pulling us in the wrong direction. So how do we live godly lives in the middle of it?In today’s episode, we look at what Scripture says about standing firm when everything around us is falling apart. God hasn’t called us to blend in—He’s called us to stand out. From battling the flesh to walking in humility and guarding our testimony, this episode is a practical and biblical look at how to live right in a world gone wrong.

Endurance is not just about strength—it’s about focus. In Part 2 of Run With Endurance, we shift our attention to the One who makes finishing possible: Jesus.Drawing from Hebrews 12:2–3, the story of Peter walking on the water in Matthew 14, and Paul’s relentless pursuit in Philippians 3, this episode reveals a powerful truth: when your focus drifts, your faith weakens—but when your eyes stay on Jesus, you find strength to keep going.If you’ve been feeling weary, distracted, or close to giving up, this episode will call you back to what matters most—fixing your eyes on Christ and pressing forward no matter what.

Before we can run the race God has set before us, we must first deal with what’s holding us back. In this episode, we examine the “weights” and sins that hinder our spiritual progress and learn how to release them. Through Scripture, we see that running well requires intentional focus, discipline, and surrender.

Why do some walk away from Jesus while others run toward Him? In this episode, we contrast the rich young ruler and Zacchaeus—two wealthy men with two very different responses to Christ. One clung to what he had and walked away sorrowful. The other let go and found salvation.We explore what it truly means to surrender, why letting go is often the hardest step, and how what seems impossible for us is completely possible with God.

In a time where truth is often softened, altered, or avoided, believers are called to stand firm. This episode explores what it means to earnestly contend for the faith without drifting into compromise or silence. Through powerful moments—from Jesus cleansing the temple to Paul confronting Peter—we see that guarding truth requires both courage and conviction.This is not about being combative—it’s about being faithful.

In Ephesians 3:16–19, Paul prays a powerful prayer for believers—that they would be strengthened by the Spirit in their inner man, rooted and grounded in love, and able to grasp the immeasurable love of Christ. This passage reminds us that spiritual strength doesn’t come from our circumstances, our willpower, or our achievements. It comes from Christ dwelling in our hearts by faith.In this episode, we explore what it means to be strengthened from the inside out, to live deeply rooted in the love of Christ, and to experience a love that surpasses knowledge. When we truly understand His love, it changes how we stand, how we endure, and how we live.

In a world that constantly presses against our faith, we are not called to shrink back — we are called to stand. In this episode, we explore Paul’s charge in Ephesians 6:10–13 to put on the whole armor of God and his reminder to Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:5–7 to stir up the gift within him.Standing firm is not passive. It requires spiritual strength, a guarded mind, and a heart that refuses fear. God has not given us a spirit of fear — but of power, love, and a sound mind.If you’ve been feeling weary, intimidated, or spiritually drained, this episode will remind you: you were built to stand.

Unbelief rarely announces itself loudly. It doesn’t usually begin with rebellion — it begins with drifting. In this episode, we walk through Hebrews 3:12–19 and confront the danger of a hardened heart. God’s warning to Israel in the wilderness is a warning to us today: proximity to miracles does not guarantee perseverance in faith.We’ll talk about the slow creep of unbelief, the deceitfulness of sin, the importance of daily exhortation, and what it truly means to endure to the end. This is a sobering but necessary reminder: guard your heart, stay tender, and keep believing.

Salvation is more than a moment—it is a miracle filled with eternal gifts. When we come to Christ, God doesn’t just forgive us; He cleanses us, removes our sin, gives us His Spirit, and secures our future forever.In this episode, we walk through the beautiful truths of what every believer receives at salvation. From a clean heart to the indwelling Holy Spirit and the promise of eternity with Jesus, we discover the fullness of God’s saving grace.If you’ve ever wondered what truly happens when someone is saved, this episode will strengthen your faith and remind you just how rich salvation really is.

In Deuteronomy 9:7–29, Moses calls Israel to remember—not their victories, but their rebellion. This passage is a sobering reminder that God’s faithfulness has never been a response to human righteousness. Time and again, Israel provoked the Lord, yet God relented—not because they deserved mercy, but because of His covenant and the intercession of Moses.In this episode, we explore the spiritual danger of forgetfulness, the necessity of honest repentance, and the power of standing in the gap through intercessory prayer. This message invites listeners to confront their own spiritual memory loss and to trust the mercy of a God who responds to humility, repentance, and prayer.

Yesterday we confronted misplaced priorities and neglected obedience. In this continuation, we move from conviction to correction. Drawing from Haggai’s call to rebuild the house of the Lord, Jesus’ words about treasure and the heart, and the early church’s devoted lifestyle, this episode challenges us to examine what we are truly investing in. God is not just calling us to stop building our own houses—He’s inviting us to rebuild His place in our lives.

In Proverbs 3, the writer lists two things we must make sure is at the very center of our lives. In fact, he tells us not to let them forsake us, it’s that important. Is your life centered on these two things?

As we turn our thoughts to the new year ahead of us, many of us will utter the phrase, “In the New Year I will…..” We’ll make our new year resolutions-things we want to change about us and the life we live. Sadly, many of those resolutions will fail in the first couple weeks. In todays episode, I’ll show you some resolutions we can make to be the Christian that God wants us to be.

On this Christmas Eve, it is my annual tradition to read THE Christmas Story.

Today, we are looking, again, at Proverbs 2:12-15. We see, in these verses, how easily we can fall away from the right path, into the evilness of false teachings. Unless we study and apply the Bible, we will fall for any and all teachings-whether they are biblically sound or not. This episode gives practical advice, through Scripture, to help make sure you stay on the right path, the path that is led by the Spirit.

Today, we are looking at Proverbs 2:10-2 to discover the benefits of Godly wisdom. I’m not talking about intelligence, I am talking about the skill and ability to live the way God wants. Some of the smartest people I know have no knowledge. In these verses, we will see what wisdom does for us, and what wisdom keeps us from.

Did you know that most Americans (exact percent shared in the episode) feel they are above average in intelligence? Worldly wisdom doesn’t mean anything to God. In fact, He said He will destroy the wisdom of man. How, then, can we attain the true wisdom that God desires us to have? Take a listen to todays episode to learn how to Find True Wisdom

Do you know what time it is? In todays episode, we are studying Romans 13:11-14, where Paul is challenging us to realize the time we are living in, and make sure we are living wisely.

Why do we try and cover up or hide our sins? It’s not a new concept. In todays episode, we look at some people in the Bible who had tried to cover up or hide their sin, along with some reasons why we try and hide sin. What are you trying to hide today?
