Understanding what you believe and why you believe it, are of the utmost importance in these last days. Who is Jesus to you? And why is He important to your faith?

Most Christians aren’t being persecuted with violence, they’re being persecuted with people. Unfriended. Misunderstood. Labeled. Screenshot. Canceled. In this episode, Jon Ellis breaks down what Jesus actually said about rejection and why following Him will cost you socially, but will never cost you your identity. You’ll learn why rejection is often revelation, how to stand strong when people walk away, and how the Holy Spirit empowers you to stay faithful in a culture obsessed with approval. This teaching is bold, pastoral, and prophetic, exactly what Gen Z and Millennials need to navigate the pressure of modern-day cancel culture. If you feel alone, overlooked, or unfollowed because of your faith… this episode will give you courage, clarity, and the conviction to stand with Jesus, even when it seems like you stand alone. Ever felt unfollowed, misunderstood, or quietly excluded because you chose to stand on Scripture? You’re not crazy, and you’re not alone. Jesus warned His followers that cultural rejection would come, and He taught us how to stand firm when the pressure hits. In this bold and pastoral episode, Jon Ellis equips you with clarity, courage, and practical steps to stay faithful when approval fades. If you’re ready to rise above cancel culture and live Uncommon, this episode will strengthen your resolve.

In this message by Pastor Dobbs, he ministers from Isaiah 1:19 on how we as believers should be willing to obey the Word of God. When we do, we shall eat the good of the land. God knows where good things are here on the earth. Scripture: Isaiah 1:19 - If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;

In the American church, we have turned the account of the birth of Jesus into some sort of Christian mythology. We only talk about it in December, keep it separated from the rest of the Bible and do our best to downplay the supernatural aspects. It’s like we keep it in a red and green spiritual Christmas tote that we only pull out of storage on Thanksgiving and then put back promptly on December 26. Despite this fact, the first reference to Christmas in the Bible isn’t even in Matthew or Luke. It’s also not in Isaiah or any of the other prophetic books. It’s in Genesis. There is no mention of wisemen, no angelic visitations and no mangers, but there it is — right there in the first book of the Bible. It’s there that we find both the subtle sin and the surprising solution that created Christmas in the first place.

The love of Christ actually fills us. Father wants you to experience His love in your day to day life. And His love is so comforting in these troubling times. http://www.prayerdrive.com/

The God of all power, love, and grace has made a decision. He has decided to live in our hearts. So we will never be alone. We'll always have all we need to live an abundant life in Christ. Jesus lives in our hearts. http://www.prayerdrive.com/

Most Christians don’t walk away from God in a moment, they drift away slowly. In this episode, Jon Ellis exposes how distraction, routine, busyness, and subtle compromise quietly pull believers away from their first love. Using Hebrews 2:1 and Revelation 2:4-5, Jon reveals how drift begins, how it grows, and how to recognize it before it steals your fire. If you’ve been feeling spiritually numb, distant, or stuck in routine, this episode will help you identify the drift, reverse it, and return to the hunger, devotion, and fire you were made to carry as an Uncommon Christian. Spiritual drift doesn’t feel like rebellion, it feels like routine. In this eye-opening episode, Jon Ellis shows how subtle distraction and quiet compromise can pull you away from God without you even noticing. You’ll learn how to return to your first love and reignite the fire that drift tried to smother.

What if the wise men only went to where Jesus was because they were excited about the astronomical changes going on in the eastern sky? The shepherds, the innkeeper and countless descendants of King David could have easily all had other things on their mind. We don’t know whose lives were changed as a result of their role in the Christmas account, and as a result, it’s possible they all missed Jesus. If you look around, there’s a lot of things going on during this season — shopping, decorating, cooking, wrapping, vacationing, attending parties and more. It would not be hard to have something to do every day of December. It’s easy for us to shake our heads in judgment at how spiritually dull the people of the Bible were, but in all of our running around this time of year, are we also missing Jesus?

In this message by Pastor Dobbs, he teaches from John 10:10 on the fact that Jesus came with a purpose. One purpose is to give His people life and life more abundantly. Scripture: John 10:10 - The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Winning When You’re Tired, Anxious, and Under Attack Most Christians aren’t losing the battle because their faith is weak, they’re losing because their thought life is unprotected. In this episode, Jon exposes the real frontline of spiritual warfare: the mind. Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, burnout, comparison, and identity lies are not just emotional struggles, they’re spiritual attacks with mental symptoms. Jon walks you through how the enemy weaponizes your thoughts, how to tear down strongholds, and how to renew your mind with the Word of God so you can finally walk in clarity, confidence, and peace. If you’ve felt overwhelmed mentally, spiritually exhausted, or trapped in your own head, this episode gives you the tools, Scriptures, and Spirit-led truths you need to win the war for your mind and live the life of The Uncommon Christian. Your mind is a battlefield, and the enemy knows it. In this episode, Jon shows you how to defeat anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and spiritual exhaustion by taking back control of your thought life through the power of God’s Word and the renewing of your mind. This is the roadmap to winning the war in your head and walking in uncommon clarity and freedom.

Every year in the fall, Pastor John sits down and re-reads the Christmas accounts from Matthew and Luke, asking the Lord to show him something fresh. This year, he was struck by the difficult decisions that had to be made in order for the birth of Jesus to take place exactly the way it did. These were gut-wrenching and dangerous decisions. We have certainly faced gut-wrenching and dangerous decisions before, and there will be more of those types of decisions off and on the rest of our lives — not just once or twice but over and over. This week, we’re exploring some principles we can glean from these Christmas accounts to help us have courage as we face hard choices.

Pastor Dobbs ministers from I Thessalonians 5:16-18 on the importance of choosing to rejoice, pray and be thankful. It is a decision that we must make daily which I believe is possible by the power of the Holy Spirit operating in our lives despite our circumstances. Scripture: I Thessalonians 5:16-18 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Why Is This Happening to Me? | Pastor Mark A. Stroud Have you ever looked at the challenges in your life and wondered, "Why is this happening to me?" In this powerful message, Pastor Mark A. Stroud examines the story of Gideon and the nation of Israel as they faced hardship and oppression. Their struggle wasn't random—it was a direct result of turning away from God and following the idols of the land. Discover the timeless truth that our circumstances often reveal the state of our relationship with Christ. In This Message, You Will Discover: The critical question Gideon asked and the profound answer that reveals the root of many of our life struggles. How easy it is to replace God with the "idols" of modern culture—things that compete for our time, attention, and loyalty. The essential steps Israel had to take to repent, turn back to God, and be restored to right fellowship with Him. The direct relevance of this ancient story to today's culture and how we can avoid the same spiritual pitfalls. Practical ways to leave the idols behind and commit to building a strong, resilient faith in Christ that stands up to every challenge. Are you ready to turn your "Why?" into a commitment to restoration? Watch now and let God move you back into alignment with His perfect plan! Scripture Reference: Judges 6

The miracle working Power of God is powerful and it's active in our lives today. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is active in our physical bodies. http://www.prayerdrive.com/

We have a rich and glorious inheritance in Christ Jesus. Meditating on these truths will surely brighten your day. http://www.prayerdrive.com/

Comfort is the silent killer of calling. In this episode, Jon exposes one of the greatest idols in the modern church, the idol of convenience, and shows how comfort is slowly suffocating courage, obedience, and real discipleship. Using Amos 6:1 and Matthew 16:24-26, Jon unpacks the danger of living “at ease in Zion” and why Jesus didn’t invite us into a convenient Christianity, but a costly, courageous one. He also shares a powerful real-life story from a recent deer hunt in Illinois where simple obedience, sharing the gospel at gas stations and food stops, led to breakthrough moments that comfort would have stolen. If you’ve ever felt stuck, numb, passive, or spiritually sleepy… this episode will wake you up, call you up, and push you into a bold, Spirit-led faith. You were not saved to stay comfortable. You were saved to carry a cross.

When you think about Christian holidays, most people think Easter and Christmas pretty quickly, but it’s possible that Thanksgiving is as much a Christian holiday as any other. The giving of thanks is at the core of what we do and who we are as believers. Followers of Jesus should be the most grateful, gracious, and appreciative people in the world. Here’s why — the word thanksgiving is not complicated. It’s two parts: thanks and giving. It means that we give our thanks to someone outside ourselves. Gratitude requires that you recognize the contributions that have come from some source other than you. That’s easy for a follower of Jesus because we know that everything we have comes from God.

In this message, Pastor Dobbs ministers from Philippines 4:8 on the importance of meditating or thinking on the right things according to the Word of God. Scripture: Philippians 4:8- Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

This week, we’re continuing our Boldness Series. Acts 4:13 says the members of the Sanhedrin saw the boldness of Peter and John — and that’s true. Boldness is visible, but if we’re not careful, we will think boldness always looks the same way. We might start to believe that boldness is simply a set of behaviors and that repeating those behaviors will always be the boldness God wants from us. In reality, boldness is not behavior; it’s belief. Instead of coming from a commitment to a set of behaviors, it comes from a commitment to a set of attitudes and beliefs. Sometimes, boldness manifests itself in ways you would expect, but other times, it looks very different. This week, we’re looking at some diverse pictures of boldness and trying to figure out what those pictures have in common.

In this teaching by Pastor Dobbs, he ministers from Philippians 4:6-7 on how to be anxious for nothing. Paul understood the seriousness of one becoming anxious and he gives us the remedy through the Word of God on how to be anxious for nothing. Scripture: Philippians 4:6-7 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

We’ve made following Jesus sound too cheap. Our culture says, “Just believe.” But Jesus said, “Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Me.” In this bold opening to the Uncommon Discipleship arc, Jon Ellis unpacks Luke 14:25–33 and exposes why shallow faith isn’t saving anyone. True discipleship isn’t built on emotion, it’s built on endurance. Drawing from the testimony of Black Sheep Ministries, Jon shows how real transformation only comes when we surrender everything. This episode will challenge you to count the cost, confront compromise, and rediscover what it really means to follow Jesus in a culture that’s falling apart. Because following Jesus will cost you something, but not following Him will cost you everything. Order Jon’s book I’ve Prayed the Prayer and discover what real repentance and discipleship look like at TheUncommonChristian.com. If your faith doesn’t cost you anything, it’s worth nothing. Count the cost, follow Jesus for real.

We are clay jars — fragile, imperfect vessels made of flesh. Yet God chooses to place His fire, His Spirit, and His glory inside of us. In this powerful message, Pastor Timothy Elder teaches how the Holy Ghost ignites us from within, strengthening what is weak, purifying what is broken, and shining through the cracks of our humanity. kingdomrock.org

In this follow-up episode, we shift from John Gallagher’s personal journey into what he’s building now. What is Black Sheep Recovery Warfare? How does John balance prophetic boldness with pastoral care? And what does it actually look like to wage warfare for the addicted, the broken, the outcasts? We also unpack how John’s message has begun to go viral, through video, social media, and the testimonies of lives changed. From his podcast platform to live events like the Run To You Tour, we explore how movement begins & spreads. If you’ve ever wondered how a redeemed addict turns into a voice for many, this is your episode. What started as one man’s redemption has become a movement shaking the South. In part two, Jon Ellis and John Gallagher dive into how Black Sheep Ministries went from a recovery story to a revival story. From spiritual warfare to viral videos, this episode reveals how God turns pain into platform, and why no one is too far gone to be used for His glory.

We’re living in the last days. The Church of Jesus Christ must begin to stand strong in the mist of darkness. But we must stand with the combination of Word and Power. The Glory of God must once again be seen and experienced within the halls of the Church House. To accomplish this, God’s people must repent and Bring Back the Glory. Kingdomrock.org

The Bible says the Old Testament passages were given to us as examples. In many cases, the things that played out in the physical world represent things that play out for us in the spirit world. This means that we can look to how they fought battles in the Old Testament to help us know how to fight our battles now. If you’ve ever felt outmatched in a fight, you’re not alone. Rarely did the children of Israel have a tactical or numerical advantage, but the Bible shows us over and over that things are not always as they appear. This week, we’re talking about Gideon’s once again to see what we can discover about bold warfare.

In this message by Pastor Dobbs, he ministers part 2 from Matthew 24:13 on the importance of enduring to the end so that one can be saved. One lesson that Jesus taught us all is that we must endure to the end if we want to be saved and the ultimate gift is salvation where we will be ultimately delivered, ultimately protected, and ultimately prosper in heaven. Scripture: Matthew 24:13 - But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

“When you’re closer to hell than heaven, sometimes only God can pull you out.” In this episode, Jon Ellis sits down with John Gallagher, the founder of Black Sheep Recovery Warfare,one of Mississippi’s most powerful recovery movements. Together, they walk through his radical journey from addiction, despair, and darkness, to surrender, redemption, and purpose. We trace the moments when everything crumbled, the signs he couldn’t ignore, and the supernatural encounter that changed everything. This is redemption in real time, bold, gritty, and undeniably uncommon. John Gallagher’s story is proof that no pit is too deep for God’s grace. Once trapped in addiction, he’s now leading one of Mississippi’s most powerful recovery movements, Black Sheep Ministries. In this episode, Jon Ellis sits down with John to unpack the raw, unfiltered moments that led from destruction to deliverance. This is redemption in real time, bold, gritty, and undeniably uncommon.

Last week, we began a series on boldness. Some people have a negative view or understanding of boldness. They confuse it with rudeness or arrogance. In reality, though, it should be defined as the power to live according to your purpose and priorities. For followers of Christ, the power comes from the Holy Spirit, and the purpose and priorities are established by God and His Word. This week, we’re continuing to talk about Gideon from the book of Judges. The first bold thing Gideon did was to lift up his head. He was hiding in a wine press trying to thresh some grain, so his family could eat. His first step towards getting out of that pit was just to lift up his head. It’s no different for us; if things are going to change in your life, you must have the boldness to lift up your head.

In this message by Pastor Dobbs, he ministers part 1 from Matthew 24:13 on the importance of enduring to the end so that one can be saved. One lesson that Jesus taught us all is that we must endure to the end if we want to be saved and the ultimate gift is salvation. Scripture: Matthew 24:13 - But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

Pastor Dharius Daniels from Atlanta said at a recent conference that we sometimes have to choose closure without clarity. These are moments in which the matter has been settled even though we don’t understand everything, and it’s a liberating truth. When you have questions weighing you down and situations you can’t explain, it can either keep you stagnant or just walking in circles. Instead, we want to learn how we can continue to move forward. If you have been walking through a season of doubt, confusion or questioning, it’s time to lift up your head. The season of head-hanging and stagnation is over. Stop looking at where you’ve been and look up to see where you’re going. Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice for us to give us an abundant life, but you will never find God’s abundance looking down or looking back. You have to lift up your head and let the King of Glory into your everyday life.

In this message by Pastor Dobbs, he ministers from Matthew 24:13 on he who endures to the end will receive the ultimate deliverance, the ultimate protection, and the ultimate prosperity which is to be with Jesus throughout eternity. Scripture: Matthew 24:13 - But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

Is your obedience even making a difference? Are the late nights, uncelebrated faithfulness, and quiet sacrifices really worth it? In this episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis breaks down why eternal reward is always worth the cost, even when no one is clapping. Through Galatians 6:9, Hebrews 10:36, and Matthew 6:20, you’ll be reminded that: ● The harvest is coming, if you don’t quit ● Your obedience is shaking ground under someone else’s feet ● And the real reward isn’t applause, it’s “Well done, good and faithful servant.” This episode will challenge you to stay faithful, call out cultural comfort, and remind you why your unseen obedience matters more than you think. Plus, get a sneak peek of next week’s special guest: John Gallagher from Black Sheep Ministries, whose story proves that reward always follows obedience. When faith feels thankless, remember: the reward is real. In this episode, Jon Ellis shows why obedience today is building you an eternity you can’t even imagine.

In this powerful message, Pastor James Richardson reminds us that our pain is not wasted when placed in God’s hands. Drawing from Paul’s imprisonment in Philippians, Pastor Richardson reveals how what appeared to be a setback was actually a setup for the gospel to spread further than ever before. Though confined by chains, Paul’s purpose was not restricted—his message reached guards, rulers, and believers alike. Through this sermon, we are challenged to see our trials through a divine lens—to understand that adversity can become an altar, and suffering can be the stage where God’s glory shines brightest. Pastor Richardson encourages believers to trust that God uses every hardship to produce perseverance, deepen faith, and advance His kingdom. No matter what season you’re in, “Pain to Purpose” will remind you that even in your darkest place, God is working to turn your struggle into strength and your story into salvation for someone else. www.kingdomrock.org
