God turns the light on so we can see and understand. His wisdom is yours for the asking. Let there be light! http://www.prayerdrive.com/

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

Going all in for Jesus doesn’t lead to comfort, it puts you in combat. In this episode, Jon Ellis equips you with the mindset and spiritual weapons you need to stand firm when life hits back. Whether you're facing attacks in your mind, your marriage, or your mission, this is your battle cry to armor up and fight like an Uncommon Christian. Discover why resistance doesn’t mean failure, how to recognize spiritual warfare for what it is, and what it means to pray, speak, and stand with Holy Spirit power. When life gets harder after saying yes to Jesus, it doesn’t mean you failed, it means you’re a threat. Learn how to fight back and stand firm.

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. NOTE: Due to technical difficulties, we were unable to capture the entire message.

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:

In this powerful message, Hunt or Be Hunted, Minister Kendrick Scott dives into 1 Peter 5:8 — “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” The Word reminds us that we are in a spiritual battle where passivity is not an option. Minister Scott challenges believers to rise up with discernment, courage, and authority — not living as prey to the enemy, but as hunters equipped with the Word of God, prayer, and the armor of the Spirit. www.kingdomrock.org

Comfort zones feel safe—but they can kill your calling. In this powerful episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis challenges you to identify and break free from the counterfeit comforts holding you back from fully following Jesus. From Abraham leaving the familiar, to Peter stepping out of the boat, to the early church choosing boldness over safety—we see that God’s call always costs something. With a moving tribute to Charlie Kirk, a timely challenge for today’s culture, and a real-life story of costly obedience, Jon reminds us: Jesus didn’t die to make us comfortable. He died to make us dangerous to darkness. If you’re ready to stop playing it safe, surrender what’s keeping you stuck, and live the bold, uncommon life God designed you for—this episode will shake you out of casual Christianity and into courageous faith. Grab Jon’s new book I’ve Prayed the Prayer at TheUncommonChristian.com for a deeper dive into breaking free from cultural Christianity and stepping into real surrender.

Arguably the number one thing most people ask Pastor John is “How do I find God’s will for my life?” Religion has made the will of God some great mystery — like it’s something to search for our whole lives. We expect to get a job, hold an office, start a ministry or receive a title. We are looking for the answer in a destination, but what if it’s simpler than that? The core verse for this series is Romans 12:2, which contains two different sentences. The first says that we’re transformed by the renovation of our thoughts; the second says that we will learn to know the will of God once our mind is renovated. This week, we’re continuing (and possibly concluding) our Transformation Series with a message about God’s will.

Sister Myeshia Cain ministered from I Corinthians 15:8 on the importance of a dogged pastor being in covenant with God. The Holy Spirit seals the covenant and the oil of the Spirit keeps us going forward. Scripture: I Corinthians 15:8 - Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

Bishop Fred Foster of Assembly Of The Saints Ministries in Villa Rica GA ministered from I Timothy 5:17-18 on the elders who rule well are worthy of double honor. He showed us from the Word of God the blessing that comes from being a blessing to a dogged pastor. Scripture: I Timothy 5:17-18 17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. 18 For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”

In this powerful message by Bishop Barry Walker of A Place of Refuge Carrollton and the Bishop of the Refuge Connection of Churches, he ministers from II Timothy 2:3 & II Timothy 2:12 on the importance of a church being one that endures as a good soldier of Jesus Christ so that they will reign in Him. Scripture: II Timothy 2:3 - You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. II Timothy 2:12 - If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us
