The Voice in the Wilderness

Truth in a Time of Cultural ConfusionIn this episode, we explore a recent NC public proclamation that elevates the teachings and traditions of Islam and how these cultural shifts impact Christians today. As hostility rises globally and jihadist conflict continues, many troubling ideologies are finding increased acceptance in the public square.From documented expressions of hatred to strategic efforts designed to weaken America spiritually and culturally, believers must be discerning. Islam's core creeds—including the proclamation that there is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet—stand in direct opposition to the foundational truths of Christianity.This episode examines: • Why certain belief systems are being publicly commended • Whether these traditions should be held up as models of virtue • The spiritual dangers of confusing false religion with biblical truth • The urgent need for Christians to return to the pure words of God • The call for repentance, vigilance, and clarity in our communitiesNorth Carolinians—and believers everywhere—must wake up to the spiritual infiltration taking place around them. The answer is not fear, but faithfulness. Not compromise, but courage. Not silence, but Scripture.It is time to remember, memorize, and speak the Word of God with boldness.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

A Biblical Alert: Discernment in the Days AheadIn this episode, we take a closer look at a recent state‑level proclamation recognizing Ramadan and discuss why moments like this raise important questions for believers about culture, values, and spiritual discernment. With just over one percent of the population observing the occasion, many are asking what it means when government statements affirm the values of various world religions.Rather than reacting in fear or confusion, we turn to Scripture for clarity.Next week, we'll examine Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution alongside a biblical perspective as we examine Islam and Christianity.We also explore the importance of standing firm in the Word during a time when many voices compete for influence. The Christian must be alert, discerning, and grounded. As always, truth must be judged by the Bible, not by culture, tradition, or public sentiment.Stay tuned for a timely “Biblical Alert” as we look at what it means to live faithfully, think biblically, and walk wisely in a world filled with competing messages.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

No Excuse — Running the Race of Christian CharacterIn this episode, we take an honest look at Christian service, Christian education, and the spiritual priorities that are being lost in our generation.Today, we have more tools, more resources, more materials, and more opportunities for spiritual growth than ever before. From study guides and apps to online preaching, commentaries, and teaching tools — we are truly without excuse. And yet, stunningly, many of these helps are being pushed aside and replaced with worldly, carnal substitutes.Sports overshadow Scripture. Activities crowd out devotion. Fun replaces formation. Fashion outranks holiness. And Christian character is dismissed as “boring.”What happened to the admonition of Psalm 1? “Walk not in the counsel of the ungodly.”Instead of walking in truth, many are walking in trends. Instead of hungering for Scripture, many hunger for social approval. Instead of shaping hearts for Christ, we shape schedules around entertainment.In this episode, we explore: • The drift in Christian education and youth culture • How spiritual tools are being traded for worldly distractions • Why godliness and holiness must return to the center • The urgent call to cultivate serious Christian character • The Scriptural reminder to reject ungodly counsel and delight in the law of the LordThis is a call back to focus. A call back to holiness. A call back to prioritizing what God prioritizes.Let's get back to the Book. Let's run the race with purpose. Let's raise a generation that knows, loves, and lives the Word of God.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

The Race for Your MindArtificial Intelligence is advancing faster than ever—and many people are asking real, honest questions: Will AI take my job? Will it influence my thinking? Will it consume my time, money, or creativity?In this episode, we take a grounded, biblical look at the concerns—and opportunities—surrounding today's technology. There is a race happening right now: a race for your mind, your critical thinking, and your spiritual focus.We compare this modern race with another intense competition: the sled race that Homes just won, a victory requiring strategy, strength, endurance, and courage. That determination is a picture of the spiritual race every believer is called to run.AI can be used for good. It can also be twisted for harm. But technology itself is simply a tool. The enemy may use it one way—but the Lord can empower His people to use it for ministry, outreach, and Gospel advancement in these end‑times.In this episode we explore: • The real dangers—and real benefits—of AI • How to stay vigilant and keep your mind anchored in truth • Why believers must remain temperate, disciplined, and spiritually alert • How God can help us “do more with less” and bear fruit even in challenging days • The last great race on earth: the spiritual race set before usDon't let culture—or technology—do your thinking for you. Run your race with purpose. Trust God for “more, much, and impossible” fruit. And stay vigilant for the glory of God.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Run to Obtain — The Race We Cannot LoseDid you know that the story behind Saint Patrick's Day is far more complex than most people realize? Many historical traditions shifted over time, and interpretations changed—raising the question: Was the original story reshaped? Even AI has some unexpected insights on what happened and how the celebration evolved.From there, we turn to something far from folklore: the very real races taking place in our world today.Just as mushers in Alaska once pushed through brutal conditions to save lives in the historic serum run—an event still remembered through the Iditarod—one determined racer named Holmes continues to chase the win. That relentless pursuit gives us a picture of something far more important:We are all running a race.A race against cultural drift. A race against spiritual compromise. A race with eternal stakes.The Apostle Paul said, “Run, that ye may obtain.” Are we striving for a corruptible crown… or an incorruptible one?In this episode, we look at: • How traditions shift over time • What AI observes about those traditions • The endurance required in the Christian life • The danger of running after the wrong prize • The encouragement believers need to stay faithful to the finishNo matter the noise of the world around us, the calling remains the same: Run your race. Run it well. Run it to obtain.I pray you are running faithfully.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Run That Ye May ObtainHistory records many remarkable races—but few compare to the legendary 1925 serum run to Nome, when brave mushers risked everything to save children from a deadly diphtheria outbreak. That “last great race,” still commemorated today, reminds us that some races are worth everything.In this episode, we draw powerful parallels between that historic rescue mission and the races being run in our world right now:

The Truth About Jesus, Deception, and the Battle for SoulsWhat does Islam actually believe about Jesus? The answer may surprise you. In this episode, we explore what Scripture declares about Christ—the Creator, the Truth, and God incarnate—who came to save sinners. To call upon the name of the Lord and be saved, we must believe the truth about who Jesus is.The Gospel must be preached boldly, especially in a generation surrounded by deception, violence, and spiritual warfare. Around the world— and even within our own borders—evil influences drive people toward acts of destruction, confusion, and chaos. Darkness resists truth, and whenever truth is proclaimed, hostility rises.We also discuss the sobering realities of our time: moral collapse, ongoing national debates, and the staggering loss of life taking place across the country. Yet in all this, one message stands unshaken:Jesus is the only way. The truth still stands. And believers must be strengthened with all might.In a world filled with noise, fear, and opposition, followers of Christ are called to stand firm, proclaim the Gospel, and stay grounded in the Word. The battle is real—but so is the victory found in Jesus.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this episode, we confront why extremist groups use chants of violence and how their ideology clashes with the truth of Scripture. We contrast the world's systems—including those that rely on human effort or religious works—with the Gospel's message that salvation comes only through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.We examine biblical prophecy, the promised return of Christ to the Mount of Olives, and the spiritual battle over truth in our world today. This episode boldly proclaims that Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life—and that every sinner can receive God's gift of salvation by being born again.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In a world growing louder with uncertainty, how do we stay awake, aware, and spiritually grounded? This episode asks the hard questions many avoid: Can we become desensitized to danger? What's happening in our own neighborhoods? And what do global tremors—both literal and figurative—mean for us today?We explore concerns close to home, including public safety and the uneasy reality that many communities wrestle with. We also look outward, examining unusual seismic activity and the rising number of earthquakes detected each year. As records show major quakes exceeding long‑term averages, we consider what these signs might mean for a world already strained by growing global tension.But this is not a call to fear. It's a call to vigilance, discernment, and spiritual awareness. Drawing from the prophetic warnings that “when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors,” we reflect on what it means to be a witness to all nations in a time that feels increasingly significant.From Louisiana to America, China to Russia—the message is the same: Wake up. Pay attention. Look deeper.Are we the generation that will see these things fulfilled? Join us as we discuss the signs, the headlines, and the deeper spiritual meaning behind them.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Blessings on the Road — A Traveler's Tale You Won't ForgetYou won't believe what happened to us this weekend.Travel introduces us to all kinds of people—some encounters feel risky, some surprising, and others become unexpected blessings. In this episode, we share a story from the road that reminded us just how powerful simple obedience can be.Wherever we travel, we carry GO250 Gospel booklets and hand them out along the way. And this weekend proved once again: you are either a missionary… or a mission field.This episode is a challenge to every believer: Pack your pockets with tracts. Share the Gospel at the bank. At the grocery store. On vacation. On the highway. At every stop along life's journey.You are an Ambassador for Christ—and when you sow the Gospel seed faithfully, you will begin to see the blessings God places along the highways and byways of your day.Join us for this unforgettable story and be encouraged to carry the message of Christ everywhere you go.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Redeem the Time — Daylight Is WastingImpossible and dire circumstances surround us. Unguarded borders have unleashed incalculable danger on our families, our homes, and our citizens. Crime, chaos, and spiritual darkness now press upon our nation with unrelenting force. Who would ever want to step into this mess and try to clean up the devastation?The Word of God has an answer.In this episode, we turn to the Old Testament where Jeremiah records the word of the Lord concerning the Philistines and the Pharaoh who struck Gaza. These ancient events reveal powerful truths for today. From them we learn:How the Middle East fits into the ongoing spiritual warHow the Devil strategizes across nations and generationsHow our Sovereign Lord secures victory in every ageAs global threats rise, so do the dangers at home. Terrorists already walk our streets. Enemies of truth sit in our own Congress. And the adversary works tirelessly to infiltrate our families, our schools, our churches, and our youth.Noem's father once told his family, “Daylight is wasting.” Scripture says it this way: Redeem the time. And the reason is simple—He is coming soon.Stand firm. Be vigilant. Time is short, and the battle is real. But so is the victory in Jesus Christ.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Be Sober. Be Vigilant. The Enemy Is Still the Enemy.When life feels “fun,” easy, or carefree, that is often when the enemy strikes hardest. The Bible warns us to walk in wisdom, not foolishness — for “there is treasure to be desired… in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man spendeth it up.” Are you guarding what God has given you, or squandering it?In this episode, we draw a line between global battlefronts and the spiritual frontlines inside our own homes. As governments maneuver, nations align, and threats rise — from China supplying hostile nations to terrorists already within our borders — believers must remain watchful, grounded, and equipped.Just as countries guard their borders, parents must guard the gates of their homes:cell phoneslaptopslibrary contentfriendshipsyouth groupsinfluences that quietly shape the heartWe must teach, train, equip, renew, and refresh our families daily.The truth is sobering: The enemy is still the enemy — in government, in culture, and even in churches across America. Sleeper cells plot. Opponents of truth sit in Congress. The Devil infiltrates families. The battle is real. But so is our victory.Scripture calls us to be: Sober. Resist. Stand. Build. Battle. (Ephesians 6:10)And take hope: there is coming a day when the Devil will launch his final attack — and Christ Himself will bring every enemy to nothing.Stand firm. Stay alert. The time to be vigilant is now.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Jesus Is Still Building His ChurchIn a world shaken by war, conflict, and spiritual darkness — from Iran to every corner of the globe — one unshakable truth stands firm: Jesus Christ is still building His Church. And as He declared in Matthew 16:16–19, “the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”In this episode, we take a closer look at what Jesus meant when He said “My Church.” Not man's church. Not a government's church. Not a cultural church. His Church.You'll discover:Jesus Himself is the builder. No trauma, crisis, persecution, or world event can stop His work.The Church is Bible-founded — anchored in the doctrine, truth, and authority of Jesus Christ.The Church is blood-bought — purchased with the precious sacrifice of Christ alone.The Church is Spirit-empowered — believers are strengthened by the power of Christ Himself, just as Ephesians 6:10 commands: “Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.”The Church is unstoppable — no government, no nation, no ideology can overturn what God has ordained.Whether the world is in chaos or peace, whether nations rage or governments oppose, this truth remains: Jesus is building His Church — and nothing can stand against Him.Be encouraged, strengthened, and reminded of who we are, whose we are, and what foundation we are standing on in these last days.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Where Will Your Forever Be?In a world growing darker by the day, Scripture asks us a question that cannot be ignored: Are we saved—or lost? Isaiah declares, “Arise, shine, for your light has come… behold, darkness shall cover the earth.” The contrast between light and darkness has never been more urgent or more real.This episode takes us back to a remarkable moment in history. Even powerful leaders within the Persian empire—men of influence, authority, and earthly strength—were compelled to seek out the true King. As Matthew 2:1–13 recounts, they traveled far to bow before Jesus Christ, the Light of the world.From Esther to Ezekiel to Daniel, we see again and again that God's spotlight has fallen on this region throughout history—and today, the spiritual battle for these souls continues. Every soul in Persia, as in every nation, will spend eternity either with Jesus Christ or in the torment prepared for the antichrist. There is no middle ground. Only two destinations. Only one Savior.Isaiah 60 points us toward the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise: the return of Jesus Christ and His eternal Kingdom. His light will triumph. His reign will be established forever.This week, our dear friend stepped into that eternal light—into the presence of Jesus, into everlasting life and joy. Their journey is complete.But one question remains:Where will your forever be?Join us as we explore prophecy, history, and the unshakable truth of God's Word. The light has come. The darkness is real. And eternity is closer than we think.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Living on God's Standard TimeIn science, global coordination depends on standards—UTC for time, strict conventions for meteorological data, and universal frameworks that keep the world in sync. But there is a greater, unchanging standard that governs all creation, and it is found in the Word of God.In this episode, we explore Isaiah 59, where Scripture declares: “So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun… When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.” This is not poetic imagery alone—this is God revealing that He has established a spiritual standard across the earth. A covenant standard. A time standard. A truth standard.We are living on God's standard time, aligned to His prophetic clock in these end times and last days. And when the enemy rushes in, that divine standard—His Word—pushes back the darkness. It equips. It defends. It drives the enemy to flight.In this episode, you'll be encouraged and reminded:Do not disarm yourself in this warfare.God's Word is your standard, your truth, and your life.The Redeemer has come—and is coming again.Join us as we call upon Jesus, stand firm in Scripture, and watch God reveal Himself in powerful ways across the earth.Even so, come, Lord Jesus.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Noah Webster—master linguist and author of the 1828 dictionary—built his work on the unshakable foundation of God's written Word, the King James Bible. Webster knew 28 languages and compiled more than 70,000 words, yet he understood a truth that many ignore today: human reason alone can't preserve morality or sustain a free nation. Without God's Word, people lose their anchor.In May 1948, the United States and Great Britain helped establish the modern State of Israel—a nation preserved for God's purposes throughout Scripture. Israel's existence guards God's truth, prepares the world for Christ's return, and stands as a testimony to prophecy fulfilled. Though surrounded by 21 hostile nations in the driest part of the fertile crescent, Israel remains at the center of God's unfolding plan.Today, Scripture, the Savior, and the saints are all woven into the prophetic events happening before our eyes. Every day, God's revelation becomes clearer. And the King James Bible reminds us: “Knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep.” The fields are white unto harvest, and the opportunity before us to reach souls is greater than ever.This episode calls us to lift our eyes, sharpen our discernment, and recognize the signs of the times. Jesus is coming soon—and the urgency of the Gospel has never been more real.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

What should we do when we grow weary in serving the Lord? In this episode, we look honestly at the challenge of discouragement—and discover the biblical tools God gives us to keep going. Even when the work is hard, Scripture calls us to look up, press on, rejoice, and pray on. These are not just difficult days… they are days of great opportunity.We also ask a vital question: Is Jesus the One building your church? We explore some of the things that weaken or hinder the work of God—and how to stay focused on what truly strengthens His church.Plus, you'll hear lighthearted but meaningful stories about a couple of children who found themselves in the midst of it all… and the lesson tucked inside those moments.If you're feeling tired, stretched, or in need of encouragement, this episode is for you. Let the Word of God remind you to stay faithful, stay joyful, and keep your eyes on Him as you continue the work He has called you to do.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In 1948, the modern State of Israel was established—an event that triggered the fulfillment of several key Bible prophecies and reshaped world history. But how much do we truly understand about Israel, Palestine, and the biblical truths surrounding them? In this episode, we open God's Word for clear, scriptural insight on a topic often clouded by misinformation.Today's digital world has been called one of the greatest “web con jobs” in history, and many believers have unknowingly absorbed distorted ideas about culture, politics, and prophecy. But the Lord reminds us that “man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.” If we want discernment, we must return to Scripture—not to scholars who deny its inspiration and authority.We also discuss how modern culture often flaunts a lack of wisdom and spiritual understanding. From public displays of broken homes to the glorifying of sinful lifestyles, America is broadcasting confusion to the world. Yet Jesus warned, “Take heed that the light which is in thee be not darkness.”Join us as we seek biblical clarity on Israel, discernment in a deceptive age, and a deeper understanding of what God sees—and what He expects—from His people today.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Where do our doctors, lawyers, teachers, and politicians come from—and what shaped the way they think? In today's episode, we take a closer look at the education, worldview, and influences forming the leaders of our nation. Across the world, including in 21 Arab nations with millions who follow a religion calling for the destruction of Israel, worldviews matter—and they shape destinies.But more importantly, we turn to the one source of true power, promises, and purity: the Word of God. If the Bible a believer holds has been “corrected” or rewritten by scholars who don't believe in its inspiration, then how can it equip us with the power of God to resist the devil?We also look at the concerning trend within Christian schools and colleges, where the student culture often mirrors that of secular campuses. Has discernment faded? Do we truly understand the enemy's strategy? Scripture warns us: “Take heed that the light which is in thee be not darkness.”In this episode, we explore the urgent need for biblical clarity, spiritual discernment, and a return to the authoritative Word of God. If your life feels unstable or corrupt, you're facing problems that only God's truth can correct.Join us as we seek wisdom for these confusing times—and a renewed commitment to walk in the light.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Even on a snow day, the work of the Lord continues. In today's episode, we look back to the days of Ezra, when the work in the house of God came to a halt because Jerusalem lay in ruins. When the work stopped, even the king's revenue ceased—and rebellion threatened the kingdom. Yet under Nehemiah, the rebuilding resumed, the gates were restored, and God's people pressed forward.America today faces its own hostility toward God, and many forces work to halt spiritual progress. But just as in Scripture, we must continue the work in the power of God. Here in Asheville, North Carolina, students recently walked out of their classrooms in protest—another reminder of the confusion sweeping our nation.In this episode, I reference two thought‑provoking books—one by Peter Schweizer and another by Sharyl Attkisson—that shed light on the cultural and political upheaval shaping America today.Through it all, we thank God for those who stand firm, stay faithful, and continue the work He has called us to do.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

This week, as we pause to acknowledge the birthday of a U.S. President, but even more importantly, we turn our focus to the timeless calling of a father.In this episode, I'll share some personal reflections about my own dad and we'll explore what Scripture teaches about fatherhood. Together, we'll look at what Scripture says about a father's responsibility to lead and guide his children. The Bible calls us to “bring them up” with loving discipline and intentional instruction, and I've seen firsthand how powerful that calling can be.We'll also talk about the blessings that come when a father walks in God's will, embracing His design for the home. And we'll explore the difficult but important questions: What happens when a father doesn't provide—not just materially, but spiritually and emotionally? What does Scripture say about that? And how can we pursue God's vision for a healthy, Christ‑centered family?Join me for a personal and encouraging conversation on fatherhood, legacy, and God's purpose for our homes.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Has Presidents' Day drifted from its original intent? In this episode, we look back at the historical roots of the holiday and revisit the life of George Washington—surveyor, militia leader, and a central influence in the early American republic.You'll hear the story of Isaac Potts, a Quaker associated with witnessing Washington in a moment of solemn prayer, and learn how that experience shaped Potts' perspective during the Revolutionary War. The account reveals how deeply Washington's character has been woven into American storytelling.We explore the traits Washington was known for—Aptitude, Appearance and Attitude—and how these qualities influenced the early foundations of the United States. Join us as we trace the journey of a complex historical figure and consider how his life continues to profoundly affects us today.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this stirring episode, we examine how modern culture often elevates celebrity over substance — even in places where truth and historical depth should matter most. When a college history book gives more attention to pop icons than to the foundational figures of our nation, it reveals something deeper: we are forgetting where we came from, and what once held us together.We look back at the profound moral expectations held by early American leaders, who understood that character, discipline, and virtue were essential for any people seeking freedom. Their convictions stand in sharp contrast to the confusion and moral drifting we see in society today.But this isn't just a history lesson — it's a spiritual wake‑up call. Scripture reminds us that “Now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” The signs of the times point us to one truth: Jesus is coming soon.This episode urges listeners to:Rediscover the truth of their historyHold fast to biblical foundationsRecognize the urgency of the hourStrengthen their walk with ChristIt's time to open our eyes, awaken our hearts, and stand firmly on God's Word.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this powerful and heartfelt episode, we explore the sobering reality of end‑time apostasy—and why its warning matters for us today. Scripture tells us that in the last days, deception, compromise, and spiritual drift will grow. But this message is not one of fear or condemnation. It is a message of love—God's loving invitation for us to examine our hearts with honesty and humility.Have we allowed into our churches and homes the very things God calls abomination? Have we exchanged holiness for comfort, or obedience for convenience? Today, we're challenged to look inward and ask the most important question of all: Do we possess genuine faith?True faith in Jesus Christ brings transformation. It produces obedience, reverence, and a changed life. It turns us away from sin—not because we are perfect, but because the Holy Spirit is at work within us.Join us as we open God's Word and hear His “love note” to us—a reminder that He calls us not to empty religion, but to a true, living relationship with His Son. This episode urges us to return to the foundations of faith, pursue holiness, and walk in the light of God's truth.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this episode, we take a serious look at end‑time events and the growing rise of what Scripture calls abominations. We explore how the ultimate expression of blasphemy and idolatry is the spreading of practices and lifestyles that stand in direct opposition to God's commands. But what else does God call an abomination—and why does it still matter today?We'll discuss why believers are warned to beware and be separate, recognizing that God is not the author of corruption, confusion, or moral distortion. Sin against God has never changed, and neither has His definition of holiness. Idolatry begins not with statues or shrines, but with an unthankful, darkened heart that drifts from truth.In our current dispensation, we're witnessing a sobering reality: abominations not only in the world around us, but within what Scripture calls the Temple of the Holy Spirit—our own bodies and lives. Join us as we unpack what this means, why it matters, and how believers can stand firm in a culture pulling further from God's design.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this episode, we explore the prophetic events surrounding the last half of Daniel's 70th week, including the moment when something is set up in the temple that brings desolation. We unpack the period often referred to as Jacob's Trouble, a time when the true Israelites will be divinely protected until the return of Jesus. Scripture describes an unprecedented attempt to wipe out the Jewish people—but Michael the archangel will rise to defend and deliver them.As we look ahead to these future events, we're reminded of our present calling: to stay faithful, watchful, and diligent. Until Christ returns, we continue the work God has entrusted to us—working, watching, and waiting with expectation.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this episode, we take a direct look at the claims of evolution and why I stand firmly on a creation worldview. When you remove God from the picture, the foundation of human purpose, dignity, and accountability begins to crumble. But more and more voices—even in the scientific world—are acknowledging that evolution doesn't hold the answers it once promised.We dive into why spiritual truth matters, what's really at stake, and how deception can lead us away from God's design. Don't let the enemy distort your identity or your origins. You were created with purpose, intention, and divine worth—not by accident and not from an animal ancestry.Join me as we explore biblical truth, expose the lies that confuse our culture, and encourage believers to stand strong in the reality of God's creation and God's calling.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Did you catch the Super Bowl—and more importantly, did you tune in for the halftime show everyone's talking about? In this episode, we dive into what is real and true. But we don't stop there.Beyond the lights and the noise, we explore a deeper truth: the will and work of God in the life of every child of God. When the world feels loud and chaotic, His purpose becomes our encouragement. As we look toward the future, we're reminded that Jesus is coming soon, and He has already promised ultimate victory in the end times.Join us for a conversation that moves from pop culture to eternal hope—anchored in the reality of our SUPERnatural, Sovereign Savior, who offers real truth for your life today.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Spiritual warfare is not a distant theory—it's a present reality. Scripture is unmistakably clear about Satan, sin, and the fall of Lucifer. In today's episode, we look honestly at the battle every believer faces and the victory every believer already has through Jesus Christ.Is it really truth to say, “The devil made me do it”? Or are we sometimes excusing what God calls sin? The Bible warns that sin will always cost more than we ever intended to pay—and that deception often begins in our own hearts. We're not called to sinless perfection in this life, but neither are we called to abide in sin or pretend we're immune to temptation.Every day, we engage in a very real conflict with darkness… but the good news is this: we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us. The enemy is real, the warfare is real, but so is our victory in Christ.This episode is a reminder to stay alert, stand firm, walk in truth, and rejoice—because the battle may be intense, but the outcome is already decided.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this episode, I share a personal story from my time sharing Jesus in New England — a place that felt worlds apart from my Southern upbringing. What I believed “wrong” behaviors were, many times, termed simply "cultural" differences. That experience opened my eyes to something important: not everything unfamiliar is sinful… but certainly not everything normalized by culture is approved by God.Today, we're living in a world where definitions constantly shift, words are reinterpreted, and truth is stretched thin. The lines that Scripture draws clearly are often blurred by society, and what the Bible explicitly calls sin is now embraced without hesitation — even celebrated. Little by little, we've become desensitized.This episode is a call to wake up, to re-center our understanding of right and wrong on God's Word rather than cultural trends, and to examine where we may have let culture redefine what God has already spoken.If you've ever felt the tension between cultural norms and biblical truth, this conversation is for you.

Are our hearts truly ready to hear God's truth? In a culture where confusion is common and convictions are fading, this podcast calls believers back to the foundations that matter. God's truth produces real faith — the kind that reshapes lives, strengthens communities, and fuels the mission He has called us to.This episode challenges listeners to live with courage, responsibility, and clarity. We explore the unchanging principles of Scripture that form the bedrock of a healthy society and a vibrant Christian life. In a world that often redefines right and wrong, we contend for fundamental Christianity and American freedoms, God‑given rights, and the timeless standards that anchor moral freedom.If you're ready to stand firm, think deeply, and pursue God's calling with boldness, this podcast is your invitation. We'll drop a listening link in the comments. Let's reclaim truth, restore conviction, and advance the mission — together.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this episode, we explore a timeless truth: sin isn't confined to our past, present, or future—it remains a spiritual reality that shapes every generation. Drawing from the book of Amos, we uncover the prophet's urgent warning about what happens when people drift from God's truth. For nearly 2,000 years, the world experienced a famine of Scriptural teaching, and Amos' message echoes through that silence: rejecting God's Word carries real and lasting consequences.Together, we examine how taking a “preference-based” approach to faith leads to instability—like building life on sinking sand. It produces generations hungry for truth but unable to find it. Yet the hope of Amos' message remains: restoration begins with honest acknowledgment, genuine repentance, and a turning away from sin.Join us as we journey through Scripture, confront the realities of spiritual famine, and discover the path back to solid ground.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Winter weather has swept across WNC, covering everything in ice and snow—and it brings to mind a powerful spiritual truth: “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” In this episode, we look at the contrast between the purity God offers and the deep brokenness happening in our world.We acknowledge the heavy realities around us—exploitation, lawlessness, human suffering, and the destructive paths created by those who prey on others. These acts are not small missteps or harmless mistakes; they are real violations before a holy God. Scripture teaches that sin has consequences, and God cannot lie—He will judge rightly.But the heart of this conversation is not condemnation. It is hope. We explore the truth that there are no “little sins” or “white lies” when it comes to our standing before God. All sin separates—but all sin can be forgiven through genuine repentance.This episode is a call back to what truly matters: not preferences, not excuses, but repentance. Only God can wash us clean… as white as snow.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Teaching and guiding our children is not just a duty—it's a blessed and joyful calling.We explore the importance of exercising the freedom of school choice in America, recognizing that children often become the focus of politics because they represent both money and votes. But beyond the noise, one truth remains: we are called to train up our children in the way they should go.Join us as we talk about the power of intentional parenting—one child, one family, one soul at a time—and how one committed family can make a meaningful difference in the world.

✨ New Podcast Episode: Honoring Holocaust Remembrance DayToday's episode reflects on Holocaust Remembrance Day—a time to honor the six million Jewish lives lost, remember the resilience of the Jewish people, and acknowledge the ongoing reality of antisemitism in America.I also explore how, in a world filled with confusion, division, and moral uncertainty, we can seek a biblical perspective to better understand good and evil.
