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.

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?

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

There are three words that the enemy would tell you are words of doubt but are actually words of faith. You might believe these three words show weakness and foolishness, but instead, they show strength and godly wisdom. They sound like heresy to religious people, but they sound like refreshing honesty to people who are searching for answers. This week, we’re talking about those three words — I don’t know — and how we can constantly pursue Jesus without ever fully understanding Him. Why? Because the things of eternity can’t be contained in the things of earth. God’s ways and thoughts are higher than ours, but being honest and humble enough to say those words can help us grow closer to Him.

In this message, Pastor Dobbs ministers from James 5:11 on the blessing of endurance. James 5:11 tells us that those that endure are counted as blessed. The text references Job as one who persevered and in the end received what was intended for him. I believe we are blessed for enduring. and we will receive the blessing that is intended for us. Scripture: James 5:11 - Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

The phrase “Have faith in God” is far more profound than we realize. It's not passive belief; it's an active choice to trust God over your own sensory knowledge. We must recognize that the world system is constantly being manipulated, designed to cause us to think opposite of the Word of God. Choosing to trust in the reality of God’s infinite truth is the key to living a successful life. Tune in as Pastor Mark A. Stroud delivers the powerful message, "Fight for Love" which is "Have Faith in God," Part 2, and learn how to make that essential choice.

Isolation is the enemy’s plan—if he can get you to drift quietly, he can make you fall silently. In this episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis exposes the danger of isolation and shows why uncommon faith can only be lived out in community. From Hebrews 10 to the story of Elijah, Jon unpacks the truth that you don’t grow, heal, or overcome battles alone—you need people who will sharpen your soul and hold you up when you’re weary. You’ll also hear how men in the Titan Houses are breaking free from addiction and discovering the power of community that refuses to let isolation win. This episode will challenge you to take inventory of your circle, fight for accountability, and surround yourself with relationships that make you stronger. Because together—we don’t just survive, we thrive. Isolation is deadly. Jon Ellis shows why uncommon faith can’t survive alone—and how real community forges strength, accountability, and victory.

In this message, Pastor Dobbs teaches from Matthew 6:1-4 on enduring to give and to do good so that one can please God. As the Holy Spirit leads a believer in doing charitable deeds, as long as they keep a Biblical mindset, they will be rewarded openly. Scripture: Matthew 6:4 - that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.

Have you ever been in a situation where you knew you needed to take a stand? You may want to influence your friends at school or share your faith with someone at work. Many people want to stand up for their beliefs, but they wonder if they have what it takes or struggle with the fear of rejection. This week, Pastor Jay Mann shares a lesson in courage from someone who made history: Esther. She thought she was a nobody, but she did something brave and made a difference on behalf of her people. Together, we’ll learn the steps needed to find success and seize the moment — just like Esther.

Too many Christians live stuck in the gap—the space between what they know and what they’re actually doing. In this episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis exposes the danger of delayed obedience and the deception of casual faith. Using James 1:22, Peter’s step onto the water, and hard-hitting truths from his book I’ve Prayed the Prayer, Jon challenges listeners to close the obedience gap and step into courageous, Spirit-led living. This isn’t about knowing more—it’s about living different. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to obey, this episode is your wake-up call. Knowing the Word doesn’t make you uncommon—doing it does. Jon Ellis calls out the “obedience gap” and challenges you to live what you already know.

In this message by Pastor Dobbs, he ministers from Hebrew 10:36 on the need for endurance in a believer's life after they have done the will of God in order to receive the promise. One key fact about the promise is that it is worth enduring in order to receive the promise from God associated with the act of obedience. Scripture: Hebrews 10:36 - For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
