Podcasts about Christians

Today, we honor Charlie Kirk's martyrdom, exposing the left-wing ideology behind his assassination and rebuking Christians who slander his legacy. Allie debunks claims that he was racist, homophobic, or judgmental. We celebrate the revival sparked by his boldness and call believers to double down on biblical truth, with Erika Kirk promising that Turning Point USA will become bigger and better than ever before. Join us to reject toxic empathy, embrace courage, and stand firm in Christ's redemptive plan, undeterred by evil.  Share the Arrows 2025 is on October 11 in Dallas, Texas!

What do you think of when you hear the word ‘church'? There's confusion and a lack of clarity about what it means to be a church, but today's guest wants to re-present the fundamentals so that we're more responsible with our witness. Dr. Eric Mason is full of wisdom and he's got a new book out September 30 called Rebranding the Church: Restoring the Image of God's People in the World. Dr. Mason says we've over-corrected in a lot of ways as Christians, going from “holier than thou” to “holiness don't mean nothing.” We aren't committed to maturing in our faith. We don't have a sober-minded view of our own sin, of other people, or of Christian leadership. We're driven by humanistic individualism, thinking we can do this life apart from the community. So let's talk about getting back to the church God intended for us to be a part of. Connect with Dr. Eric Mason: https://www.instagram.com/pastoremase/ | https://www.pastoremase.com/ Grab a copy of Rebranding the Church: Restoring the Image of God's People in the World: https://www.amazon.com/Rebranding-Church-Restoring-Image-People/dp/0593602110/  This Episode is Sponsored By: https://liberty.edu/Perry — Get your application fee WAIVED when you start your future with Liberty University today! https://www.covenanteyes.com/perrys/ — Get Victory by Covenant Eyes FREE for 30 days with promo code PERRYS Scripture references:1 Peter 4Revelation 2Ezra 7:101 Timothy 1:51 Corinthians 2:2Acts 20:27 Subscribe to the Perrys' newsletter: https://withtheperrys.myflodesk.com/zhfus4jx1sJoin Preston's discipleship community for men: https://www.patreon.com/PrestonPerry/membershipTo support the work of the Perrys, donate via PayPal: https://paypal.me/withtheperrysShop BOLD Apparel: boldapparel.shop Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Should Christians seek mystical experiences as a way to grow closer to God? Pastor John looks at how Paul responded to his own visions.

What would it look like if the Church truly lived out the radical faith found in the Book of Acts? In this compelling message, Francis Chan urges believers to go beyond passively hearing God's word and begin living lives marked by deep repentance, bold obedience, and authentic transformation. He challenges the Church to break free from spiritual complacency and embrace a lifestyle that reflects the sacrificial, Spirit-empowered way of the early Christians. Chan paints a vision of a community where older generations uplift the young, resources are freely surrendered for Kingdom work, and God's supernatural provision follows fearless steps of faith. This is a passionate plea for revival rooted in humility, surrender, and a willingness to give up comfort and control. The result? A Church that is fully alive, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and unafraid to dive headfirst into the unknown for the sake of the Gospel.

What if the very thing you fear most—suffering—was actually the place God wanted to meet you most deeply?In this episode, Jerrad opens a new series through 1 Peter, a letter written to Christians facing intense persecution under Nero. With raw honesty and pastoral encouragement, he reminds us that suffering isn't a sign that God has abandoned us—it's often the very soil where our faith takes root.Drawing from Peter's opening words, Jerrad shares personal stories of walking with grieving families, parenting through pain, and clinging to identity in Christ when the world speaks lies. More than tips or quick fixes, this episode centers us on the truth that even in suffering, we can bless God—because our hope and inheritance are secure in Jesus.With insight from 1 Peter 1:1–5 and the broader historical context, you'll discover:Why Peter calls us “elect exiles” and why that matters for your identity todayHow to hold onto hope when life feels like it's falling apartWhy remembering who you are in Christ can anchor you through hardshipThe difference between the world's identity labels and God's declaration over youNine reasons Peter gives us to bless God, even in sufferingWhether you're grieving, discouraged, or just need a reminder of where your true hope lies, this episode will help you lift your eyes to the One who guards both your inheritance and your soul.Scriptures Mentioned1 Peter 1:1–5Exodus 14–15Philippians 1:62 Corinthians 4:16–18John 16:33Psalm 34:18Resources & LinksToday's Sponsor: World Watch NewsInvite Jerrad To Speak At Your ChurchBecome A Monthly Partner

How should Christians react to political violence? In this deeply reflective episode, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford tackle hard questions about faith, politics, and the role of the church in society. With a week marked by tragedy, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk and a series of shootings, the hosts explore what a kingdom response looks like in these turbulent times.  From condemning all acts of violence equally to affirming the dignity of every human being, they emphasize the need for a cruciformity—a life shaped by the values and teachings of Jesus. They discuss navigating cultural challenges with wisdom, rejecting the polarizing rage economy, and fostering a community rooted in justice, love, and mutual accountability. How can the church rise above partisan responses and embody the upside-down kingdom of God? What does it mean to lament, honor complex legacies, and act with hope amidst despair?  This conversation challenges listeners to rethink their approach to cultural issues, faith, and the call to stand as exiles and strangers in today's society.

This is far from the first time a leftist obsessed with trans-ideology has murdered conservative Christians.

"An actor, he first mocked at Christians before Julian the Apostate. On one occasion, when he was mimicking the Christian mystery of Baptism, he was dipped into the water, pronouncing the words: 'In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.' When he emerged from the water, he cried out: 'Now I am a Christian!' Everyone thought that this was in jest, as always, but he held firm to it, stopped mocking Christians and finally suffered for Christ. He was beheaded in 361, and entered into the Kingdom of Christ." (Prologue)   We rightly condemn worship that is purely external; but the life of St Porphyrius reminds us in a striking way that the 'externals' of the Faith have a power that can work to convert the heart of man. St Porphyrius used the words of Holy Baptism not only carelessly but mockingly, yet by God's grace he emerged from the waters truly renewed into Christ.

The study of Philippians 3 offers a refreshing counterpoint to our culture's constant pursuit of novelty. When Paul writes, "For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe," he strikes at the heart of effective spiritual leadership.Drawing from basketball analogies, this episode explores how the greatest NBA players—Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan—never outgrew practicing free throws. Similarly, spiritual maturity isn't about discovering exotic new truths but mastering foundational ones. Just as championship games often come down to free throws, our spiritual effectiveness depends on consistently returning to basic gospel truths.The Apostles' Creed serves as a powerful example. These twelve simple statements weren't elementary teachings to eventually outgrow—they were core truths Christians would "repeat until the day we go to glory." From God as Creator to the resurrection of the body, these fundamentals provide spiritual protection in a world constantly pulling us away from truth.Paul's stern warnings against "dogs," "evil workers," and "the mutilation" reveal his concern about legalism creeping into the church. Those imposing religious requirements missed the essence of true faith. Paul counters with a beautiful definition of genuine believers as those who "worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh."This tension between legalism and grace remains relevant today. As leaders, we must guard against both legalistic tendencies and the temptation to seek novelty over substance. Our cultural drift away from foundational truths makes Paul's message more urgent than ever—repeating core values isn't tedious; it creates safety for those we lead.What free throws of faith do you need to keep practicing? Which foundational truths need renewed emphasis in your leadership? This episode challenges us to embrace the power of spiritual repetition in an age obsessed with the new and novel.My hope is that this podcast helps grow your faith and equips you to accomplish your dreams and goals!Follow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookFollow me on TikTok

The recent proposal to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War represents more than a simple change in terminology—it reveals a fundamental shift from defensive protection to aggressive warfare as a primary orientation. This linguistic change challenges Christians to examine whether our ultimate trust lies in military might or in the God who calls us to be peacemakers and transforms symbols of violence into instruments of redemption.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “I am under attack, I must not be in God's will”?  The truth is—you might not be. But sometimes, the very challenges we face are evidence that we're right in the center of God's will. Too often, people assume that once they become Christians, God makes life easier. But that's not always the case. In fact, when we live boldly for God, the enemy often takes notice and stirs up all kinds of opposition. That's exactly what we see in the life of Daniel. As we continue in our series Stand Firm, Pastor Jeff Moes leads us in to Daniel 6 that the spiritual attack Daniel faced was actually evidence that he was doing something right. And the same may be true for us. This Sunday, we'll ask the question: How do you stand firm when you're under attack? --WebsiteFacebookInstagramSunday SetlistConnect with us!How can we prayer for you? Let us know.

How is your worship?  Who is the center of your worship?  Oftentimes, Christians call music, worship, and worship, music.  According to Scripture, worship is much more than just the music and instrumental part of our faith.  In John 4, Jesus breaks down worship and his view of worship, and how we can worship him in spirit and truth.  

The National Football League has added "male cheerleaders" to the mix — a recent phenomenon. How to Christians respond to the sexualization and homosexualization of the NFL? We pursue a discussion on the gender blender in dress, hairstyle, body movements, etc. It's not so much the feminization of the male, as it is the softening and emasculating of the modern male. What's the remedy?

Alexander Solzhenitsyn was the “writer who took down an empire” His work, the Gulag Archipelago, detailed the horrors of life in the Soviet Union and made a global mockery of the evil regime.The Gulag Archipelago is a massive tome and can be challenging for many to digest. However, Sean Berube extracted helpful nuggets from the work and explored its themes. Those themes are relevant for Christians today, just as they were for Christians struggling under the Soviet Union.How can Christians destroy evil empires? Can individualbelievers make any impact at all when so much seems systematically designed to suppress truth, goodness and beauty?Listen to this episode and gain valuable insights into truths Solzhenitsyn dusted off all those years ago. You will be encouraged and reminded that there is more strength in Christians – and the Church – than you imagine.If you find this episode helpful, please give us a positive rating and review wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

Lately, it feels like the world is getting darker by the day. Christians are being persecuted, evil is getting louder, and sometimes it feels overwhelming. In this episode, I just wanted to sit down and talk about what's really going on beneath the surface—the spiritual layer we often forget is there.This isn't about fear, but about courage. About choosing to stand boldly for Christ, even when it's hard. About remembering that our battle isn't against people, but against spiritual forces we can't always see.0:00 – Charlie Kirk's death and the power in the truth3:24 – There's a spiritual layer beneath it all4:38 – Do not fear persecution8:41 – Live a life that pleases God10:42 – Guard your heart ✨Watch the Podcast on YouTube✨www.youtube.com/@deathtoselfpodcastbyPearl✨Follow the podcast on TikTok✨https://www.tiktok.com/@deathtoselfpodcast?_t=8rotqEVc0Nb&_r=1✨Follow the podcast on instagram ✨https://www.instagram.com/deathtoselfpodcast?igsh=MWV1a243cGhxZTRlcw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr✨death to self playlist on Spotify ✨https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3YZWX13cOazDMzGIrmFQ5s?si=2S6-P19dRZe_bM3qCpt37A&pi=e-N_m0vvPIQR66✨death to self playlist on Apple Music ✨https://music.apple.com/za/playlist/death-to-self-playlist/pl.u-oZylDglIGaXvyMv

During his ministry, Jesus repeatedly referred to himself as the Bread of Life. His words would have stirred echoes of the Torah: “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.” Just as bread sustains the body, the words of the LORD nourish the soul. Yet, Jesus's teachings were not always easy to digest. His words could be unsettling and paradigm-shifting, turning long-held beliefs on their heads. Some who heard him turned away. But Simon Peter recognized the truth. When others left, he confessed, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” In this series, we will dive deep into one of Jesus's most famous teachings, the Sermon on the Mount. We will consider how these words of life nourish us, even as they challenge us, and how we might apply them to our lived stories today. Dostoyevsky once said that “beauty will save the world.” This week, Rick Callahan invited us to consider how Jesus' call to be Salt and Light echoes the call for Christians to fill the world with Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. While many of us find it easy to focus on the first two, it's not always clear where Beauty fits in. Rick helped us explore how doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God (Micah 6:8) can make the world a more beautiful place, helping us live into Jesus' command to be Salt and Light in a world desperate for healing and transformation.

As we kick off our new series, Rise Up, Pastor Zach reminds us that Peter was writing to Christians in a hostile culture—not to shrink back, but to step up in faith. He shared that while life is hard, hope is available through Jesus, and because of that, hopeful living is possible even in difficult times. God begins his encouragement to us not with commands, but with hope, showing us his heart and his power to sustain us.

How strong is your faith? How's your prayer life? And do we realize that those are the same question? Only those with faith can pray - really pray - and when we do pray, our faith grows. But that feedback loop works in reverse, too, and many Christians find it easy to seek answers in the "self help" section, and difficult to seek God. Here's a message that should help all of us, then. It's called, Faith, Hope, Love in Prayer, and here's Jim with Part 1.

A Memory of Violence: Syriac Christianity and the Radicalization of Religious Difference in Late Antiquity (U California Press, 2025) traces the rhetorical strategies of religious radicalization that encouraged fifth- and sixth-century miaphysite Christians to be willing to suffer physical deprivation and harm rather than abandon the church that the late Roman Empire defined as heresy after the Council of Chalcedon in 451. These Syriac texts created genealogies of orthodoxy and heresy, represented their heroes as martyr saints, and reminded their followers of God's coming judgment. Later they gained renewed relevance when they were copied and translated under the emerging 'Umayyad caliphate of Islam. This book reshapes representations of late antiquity by centering Syriac Christianity in these complex and politicized doctrinal conflicts. Tracing these rhetorical strategies not only sheds light on early Christian history in the Middle East, but also provides a rich case study of religious schism, devotion, and survival that continues to resonate today.

In this episode of Amen Podcast, we dive deep into one of Scripture's most debated passages about Jesus's second coming. We explore Matthew 24:29-31, where Jesus describes the sun being darkened, the moon losing its light, and stars falling from heaven.What did Jesus really mean by these cosmic signs? Are they literal or symbolic? We examine the Old Testament connections to similar language used in Isaiah and Ezekiel when describing the fall of nations, and discover how Jesus uses this apocalyptic imagery to describe both the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and His ultimate return.We discuss the three key characteristics of Christ's second coming - it will be unmistakable, universal, and unstoppable - and why this truth should give Christians hope, remind us of our eternal home, and provide help in difficult times. Rather than constantly looking for subtle signs, we explore how believers should live ready every day, focusing on sharing the gospel with compassion and truth.The episode concludes with practical application questions about living faithfully while anticipating Christ's return, emphasizing our call to be others-focused rather than comfortable in our faith.Support this ministry at amenpodcast.com This is a public episode.

I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.   American Conservative University Podcast (ACU) is not an official representative for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless. --------------------------------------------------------

Romans 7:4 — The truth that all Christians are united with Christ changes everything. It is no overstatement to say that the doctrine of Christians' union with Christ is one the most important truths for anyone to understand. It is this glorious doctrine that Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones expounds in this sermon on Romans 7:4 titled “Union With Christ: Its Nature.” Looking at the apostle Paul's epistle to the Romans, he shows that those who believe in the gospel have been delivered from sin and darkness once and for all. While all are born in Adam, all who believe are born supernaturally into Christ Jesus. It means that the law of sin and death no longer reigns in the Christian, and that they are now part of God's family and now forgiven from all sin. They are safe in salvation as Christ is loving and powerful. This doctrine is the ultimate hope against all depression, sorrow, and loneliness because it teaches that Christians have a great friend in Jesus. Listeners are encouraged to ask: “do you believe in Jesus? Do you believe that He has died for sinners? Do you have assurance that God loves?” There is great hope to all who have truly forsaken themselves and put their trust in Jesus.

In this special, unplanned episode, Alex and Scott share their raw reflections on this week's wicked events and how mission-minded Christians must respond in the present hour.

Gender identity, the origin of the universe, the sanctity of life, the cry for justice—the debate seems endless. If there ever was a time for Christians to understand and communicate God's truth about controversial and polarizing issues, it is now. Believers must develop convictions based on research, reason, and biblical truth. In this series, Avoiding Confusion, we will discover what the Bible has to say about the challenges we face and how we can communicate our convictions with love and respect.

Many followers of Jesus live with a faith that feels powerless. We settle for behavior management, curated church experiences, and good ideas rather than stepping into the life Jesus promised. But the book of Acts tells a different story. Ordinary men and women were filled with the Holy Spirit and became powerful witnesses of the risen Jesus.In this message, Pastor Darren unpacks Acts 1:8 and teaches on what it means to receive and grow in the power of the Holy Spirit. Power is not about hype or performance. It is the Spirit's presence enabling us to live transformed lives, proclaim the gospel, heal the sick, and partner with God's mission in the world.If you've ever wondered why your faith feels empty or how to experience more of God's presence and power, this teaching will give you a framework for stepping into it.

Sep 14, 2025  GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchThe Consequential Nature of Kingdom FaithMatthew 5:13-161. There is a problem we have to overcome, v. 13! Peter 4:1-4Four ways salt loses its saltiness… a) it is absorbed by its surroundings b) exposure to moisture c) confusion about the purpose of the church d) churches that try to make Christianity interesting instead of making Christians consequential 2. There is a responsibility to embrace, v. 14 a) identity- who God says I am b) activity- what God commands me to do3. True faith is distinguished by the number of people who are affected by it, v. 15-16Mental worship… 1. How is your life distinguishable from the unbelieving world? 2. What environments have been affected by your faith? 3. Do you think you really understand the ramifications of your identity? 4. Does God leaving you here in this world make you think God is missional or mindless?  5. Is the life you are currently living causing others to think about heaven? 6. Which does your faith need more: flavor or illumination? 

We're living in the midst of a mental health crisis—and Christians aren't exempt. It's time to debunk the myths that have us struggling in secret and hiding anxiety and depression behind a spiritual smile. Jesus is offering you real peace, so let's stop faking peace and fight for it instead!

In this message, we delayed our series in Ezra for a week to address the events regarding Charlie Kirk's assassination this past Wednesday. How are Christians supposed to think and act biblically in response to a tragedy like this? You can wath this message here.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's martyrdom, Pastor Josh McPherson calls the Church to stand boldly and continue to the preach the gospel of repentance. Now is a time for action. The Church enacts vengeance through revival. In the face of persecution and injustice, Christians respond with prayer, forgiveness, and action.Support the showThanks for listening!
