The For the Gospel Podcast is truly a blessing to listen to. As someone who has no degree in theology, I appreciate how the podcast breaks down deep theological issues and doctrines in a way that is practical and easy to understand. Every time I listen to an episode, I feel so blessed by the biblical teachings and it helps me grow in my faith. Pastor Costi and his team have created a wonderful ministry, and I pray that it will be used mightily for God's Kingdom to reach many lost souls.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is its focus on sound doctrine. The teachings are always rooted in the Word of God, and they provide valuable resources for believers to dive deeper into scripture. The guests on the show come from various backgrounds and bring unique perspectives, which enriches the discussions and allows for a well-rounded understanding of different topics. I also appreciate how the podcast addresses both theological and cultural topics, providing guidance on how to navigate these issues as a Christian.
In terms of criticism, one aspect that could be improved upon is the frequency of new episodes. While the content of each episode is excellent, there are sometimes long gaps between releases. It would be great to have more consistent updates so that listeners can continue to engage with fresh content on a regular basis.
In conclusion, The For the Gospel Podcast is an exceptional resource for anyone seeking solid biblical teaching and encouragement in their faith journey. The combination of practicality, sound doctrine, and diverse perspectives make this podcast stand out among others in its genre. I am grateful for Pastor Costi and his team for creating such an impactful ministry, and I look forward to listening to more episodes in the future.

Much of today's music scene and worship culture in the church prioritizes talent over character. In many churches, the ability to sing or play with excellence exceeds the need for spiritual maturity, character, and in some cases, genuine conversion. In this episode, Bob Kauflin, Devon Kauflin, and David Zimmer sit down with Costi Hinn to talk about the importance of who should be on stage to lead worship in our churches, along with practical wisdom for the “mercenary” culture of the Christian music scene.
Should a church turn the lights down, unleash the fog machine, and laser light the stage to help people have a more engaging worship experience? Does it matter if a worship service is presented in a trendy way? If creativity is a gift from God, should we limit how much we innovate when it comes to music and stylistic elements in a service? Does the Bible have principles we can use to govern the style of our worship services? These are important questions! In the third episode of our worship series with Sovereign Grace Music, we gain valuable wisdom on the style of a worship service.
It was John Piper who once said, "A congregation learns its theology by the songs they sing, not just by the preaching they hear.” Doctrine matters in our music, and it's vital that churches and leaders think through more than just the sound of music, and ensure that the content of the music is biblically accurate. In this episode, Sovereign Grace Music leaders Bob Kauflin, Devon Kauflin, and David Zimmer highlight that the road to heresy in the worship music industry is often paved with good intentions.
Expression in worship can often be relegated to the extremes of “emotionalism” or “stoicism.” Some argue that raising our hands in a worship service is nothing more than charismatic disorder, while others insist that if you don't cry or shout during worship you've not entered the holy of holies. In part 1 of this series on worship, Bob Kauflin, Devon Kauflin, and David Zimmer of Sovereign Grace Music sit down with Costi Hinn to think biblical about how we express ourselves in worship so that we avoid extremes and joyfully worship God in spirit and truth.

As a ministry that focuses on the truth… we are for the gospel. But by the very definition of being for something, that means we are then against what contradicts what we are for. In light of this, Costi Hinn continues his series on the gospel by exposing five common ways the gospel gets distorted and turns to the Bible for the truth.
Many Christians think they know the gospel because they've heard it before, but there is a big difference between “hearing” and “knowing.” The sign of truly knowing something is being able to articulate it, and that is where many of us need to be challenged. This week Costi Hinn kicks off a brand new series on the gospel that will strengthen your ability to share it with others.
