In the final message of this series, Pastor Phil explores one of the most pivotal moments in Israel's history—the fall of Jericho. reveals as a timeless lesson of faith, obedience, and divine authority. Just as Jericho's walls represented Israel's barrier to the Promised Land, our personal “Jerichos” symbolize strongholds—fear, doubt, pride, or unbelief—that hinder us from living the abundant life in Christ. Through prayer, worship, obedience, and faith, we experience what only God's power can achieve: spiritual victory and transformation! Learn why true victory begins with submission to Jesus, the Commander of our lives, and how faith in action is the key to possessing your promised land.

Has God chosen some to go to heaven and some to go to hell before they were even born? The Rev. Dr. Joel Lehenbauer (Executive Director, LCMS Commission on Theology and Church Relations) joins Andy and Sarah to talk about the "crux theologorum" or main theological question of "why some and not others" in the doctrine of election, including what Scripture says about election, the historic Lutheran teaching on election, what other denominations believe about election or predestination, and how the doctrine of election is really about the hope we have in Christ.

In Part 7 of our “From Bondage to Abundance” series, Pastor Phil walks through Joshua 5:1-12 and shows how God leads His people from wilderness wandering into a life of victory in the Promised Land. Crossing the Jordan means advancing against the enemy and taking back stolen territory. But when you do, the battles are just beginning. The Hebrews would fight more battles in the Promised Land than they ever did in the wilderness. Through these battles, they were able to live in victory, freedom, and abundance.Before you can win the war without, you've got to win the war within. Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he shares how to win the war within so you can live on mission and walk in freedom and abundance.Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifelsConnect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kcBooks & Resources https://livingproof.co/resources/books Listen to The Well Podcast ⤵Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2Find Your Next Step: https://alife.livingproof.co/Watch more sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

Living in bondage suggests more than a one-time condition—it speaks of a present, continuous state of being. It is waking up each day under the weight of something that was never meant to rule over you. Bondage is living under the control of sin, fear, guilt, shame, addiction, the approval of others, or even the haunting memories of our own past. It is allowing these things to dictate our thoughts, shape our identity, and determine our choices.

Have you ever considered that the silk against your skin might be doing more than just making you pretty? That those tight laces aren't merely decorative—they're a bridge between your body and your submission? That's the topic of this week's episode of The Weekly Hot Spot, Sissy Bondage Wear.Clothing has always been a tool of control. From Victorian tight-lacing to modern locking corsets, what we wear shapes not just how others see us, but how we experience our own submission. Ms Erika brought this topic to the table after an inspiring conversation about how bondage wear serves as a constant reminder of "who and what you are" when you're in your sissy headspace. It's the difference between simply wearing a dress and being held by it.As Femdoms, we'll explain the tension between restriction and reward—the "princess paradox," if you will. Can a sensual Dominatrix wield a hobble dress with the same effectiveness as a strict protocol Mistress? (Spoiler: absolutely, but the psychological impact shifts.) We discuss how locking ankle straps, spreader bars, and even DIY budget-friendly options like repurposed pantyhose can create that coveted feeling of helpless feminization without breaking the bank.Finally, we talk about our favorite locking mechanisms, from padlocks to numbered tags that look like tiny zip ties. We emphasize safety when doing solo distance domination play.This conversation is for the sissy who wants to understand how a simple Ace bandage cincher or hobbled heels can shift sissy training into a profound feminization experience.Have you discovered the transformative power of restrictive feminization? What's your essential piece of sissy bondage wear—the item that instantly drops you into submission?If this episode leaves you aching to explore your own wardrobe of restraint, remember that Erika and I'm available for private phone and text sessions where we can design your perfect sissy bondage protocol.

Joshua 3 provides a powerful example of trusting God when your next step feels scary. In part six of this sermon series, Pastor Phil Hopper uses the story of the Israelites crossing the Jordan to illustrate dying to self, daily surrender, and bold obedience to God's Word. As Israel's priests step into a flooded Jordan River, you'll see how biblical faith, obedience, and trust in God break spiritual bondage, defeat fear, and release God's promises in your life. Drawing from Galatians 2:20, Romans 6:6-7, and 1 Corinthians 15:31, you'll learn why there is no resurrection power without crucifixion and what it means to say, “I die daily.” If you're ready for spiritual breakthrough and freedom from sin, this sermon will help you walk by faith, obey completely, and trust God with every outcome.

Evan Gaertner and Mike Yagley finish their conversation on Dr. Martin Luther’s Bondage of the Will. This episode includes a discussion on free choice – the will and the reason cannot strive after God without God. Whenever the will and reason are described as us moving to God, this should be condemned because this is the opposite of faith. The only path to faith is our brokenness and trust in God’s revelation of promise in Christ Jesus. Beer Break FLVR!

Loads of dark malt and cacao nibs give this dark brew the smooth bitterness and luxurious body befitting a decadent liquid dessert!”
As we launch into chapter 2, Paul continues to vehemently contend for the gospel of grace alone through faith alone, in Christ alone. We'll see how he highlights the beauty of the gospel and then explore the incredible implications for the times when we have absolutely blown it through our sin and disobedience. For those times of sorrow and regret, the gospel of grace gives us the right to pass out of darkness and live in the light!
“Free will” is not a phrase found in the Bible. The concept seems to have been brought into Christian theology by the church father Tertullian (160–240), who likely borrowed it from Stoic philosophy. Augustine (354–430) wrote a treatise called "On Free Choice of the Will" early in his career but altered some of his views later, which led to much debate and confusion on the issue throughout the Middle Ages. The Roman Catholic Desiderius Erasmus (1466–1536) wrote a treatise on free will against Martin Luther, to which Luther replied with his "Bondage of the Will" in 1525. The second article of the Formula of Concord upholds Luther's biblical teachings on free will but also clarifies misunderstandings about Luther's teachings that had persisted in the decades after 1525. The central question of this article is: After the fall, what are unregenerate human beings able to do, from their own will and intellect, toward their conversion and regeneration? (See FC SD II 2.) The answer logically follows from the preceding article on original sin, which exposes us as guilty, condemned sinners under God's wrath. Until the Holy Spirit converts us to Christ, we are powerless to enter a saving relationship with God or even prepare ourselves to receive God's grace. This teaching also safeguards the truth of the Gospel: God does everything necessary to save us and we, by faith, receive His salvation totally as a gift. Rev. Carl Roth, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Elgin, TX, joins Andy and Sarah to talk about the “Searching Scripture” feature in the February 2026 issue of the Lutheran Witness titled “Article II: Free Will” on Article II in the Formula of Concord. This year, “Searching Scripture” is themed “Following the Formula” and will walk through the Formula of Concord in the Augsburg Confession. Follow along every month!

Evan Gaertner and Mike Yagley discuss how our identity is found in our relationship with God instead of our works. When our relationship is secured in the righteousness of Christ, then our will is free to share life with God and with other people. Without Christ, our lives are lived in bondage to our transactions. You can learn more by reading Dr. Martin Luther’s Bondage of the Will. Beer Break This episode features a beer from a Wisconsin brewery, Stubborn Brothers Brewery. Mike and his wife went for a ride in their camper around Lake Michigan. He had a great Reuben there and enjoyed the beer. American Wheat. Shawano has to be a great city because this is where this beer is from, but also because this is where Evan was born.

Decisions shape your destiny. In his sermon, “Unbelieving Believers,” Pastor Phil Hopper shares how the Israelites' choice at Kadesh Barnea turned a short journey into forty years of wilderness wandering. It's decisions, not good intentions, that define your destination. The example of the Israelites in the wilderness shows how fear, insecurity, apathy, and complacency keep believers in captivity, even after God has set them free. In this sermon, discover two ways the devil tries to keep you in captivity and how to have the “Promised Land faith” to step into freedom!Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kcBooks & Resources: https://abundant-life.com/resources/books/ Listen to The Well Podcast ⤵Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2 Find Your Next Step: https://alife.livingproof.co/Watch more sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

The Law vs. The Label: Staying Free in Christ"So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law." — Galatians 5:1The Battle for the MindI've been reading and studying the book of Galatians and really thinking about what it means to have complete freedom in Christ. When Paul wrote to the Galatians on Christian liberty, he was addressing a specific crisis: legalism. Judaizers had entered the church teaching Gentile believers that they had to obey the Old Testament Law—specifically circumcision—to be truly saved.Paul wrote to settle the score on:Works vs. God's GraceTrue Freedom vs. Religious SlaveryThe Power of the Holy Spirit vs. The Desires of the FleshNew Life in the Here and NowWhen we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are made free and new. We don't just look forward to an everlasting life in heaven; we get to partake in an abundant life on earth here and now. We are called to walk in the very "newness of life" Paul describes in Romans 6:4:"For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives."This abundant life will have challenges and trials. I bring this up to remind you of your responsibility to develop a total dependence on the Lord. It is through these challenges that we grow and become spiritually mature.From Bondage to VictoryThe word "freedom" means so much to me because I know what it feels like to be trapped in bondage to the attacks of the enemy. But I also know what it's like to see those chains of oppression fall in the name of Jesus, never to return.Your freedom in Christ is secure when you put your faith in Jesus and make Him your Lord and Savior. We await a hopeful future when Christ will return to fully restore all things—a life where every tear is wiped away (Revelation 21:4-5), where sin no longer rules, and every broken Read the rest at: https://open.substack.com/pub/litwithprayer/p/the-law-vs-the-label-staying-free?r=5sajy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
If you want to answer the question, “Who am I?” you must look at the character of God, because WHO you are is defined by WHOSE you are. In his sermon titled “When God Speaks,” Pastor Chad Glover preaches from Exodus 19, where God reveals Himself to the Israelites as awesome, amplified, available, and audible. You will see how the God who shook Mount Sinai still speaks through His Word today, inviting you to come near enough to hear His voice. Listen to this sermon if you're hungry to hear God's voice, reclaim your God-given identity, and step out of bondage into abundance.Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kcBooks & Resources: https://abundant-life.com/resources/books/ Listen to The Well Podcast ⤵Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2Find Your Next Step: https://alife.livingproof.co/Watch more sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

What does it look like to experience freedom in Christ? In this sermon, Pastor Phil Hopper uses the crossing of the Red Sea in Exodus 14 to reveal how God brings deliverance from sin. When the Israelites felt trapped between an impossible sea and an imposing enemy, God showed His power and promise to save by parting the sea. This sermon will help you see how God will make a way in your own Red Sea moments, where fear, pressure, and spiritual opposition try to push you back into bondage. Learn how God's detours are divine directions, how crises become classrooms for deeper faith, and how obedience puts God's power in motion.

We begin 2026 with a question: What if the most decisive battles in our time aren't fought with ballots or bombs—but with the imagination?Watch the full conversation on YouTube Russell Moore talks with historian and author Joseph Loconte about The War for Middle-earth, his book on how World War I and World War II forged the friendship, faith, and fiction of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Together they explore why The Lord of the Rings and Narnia weren't escapist detours from reality, but a deliberate counter-assault on cynicism, propaganda, and the will to power—written by men who had seen the trenches up close and knew exactly what modern darkness looks like. Loconte and Moore talk about why World War I has slipped from our cultural memory, what protected Tolkien from the disillusionment that swallowed so many of his peers, and why both writers keep insisting that deeds done in the dark are “not wholly in vain.” They also discuss Lewis's warning about the “cataract of nonsense” in modern media, and why genuine friendship is almost never built by chasing “community”—but by pursuing a shared mission so compelling you find yourself fighting alongside someone. Loconte shares the origin story of the Lewis–Tolkien friendship, why grace—not grit—is the hinge point in both Middle-earth and Narnia, and where to start if you've never read either author: The Screwtape Letters for Lewis, and Tolkien's short, haunting “Leaf by Niggle.” Resources mentioned in this episode: By J.R.R.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show once again: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control, Stargate Project, Freemason, Jesuit, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, loving mother, founder, content creator, faithful servant to the most high, gardener, floral design extraordinaire, singer and songwriter, poet, poetry reader, creative writer, and someone I'm so grateful to call my friend: KadayaIn case you missed either of Kadaya's incredible episodes she did here on this show, here is a brief synopsis of her testimony as well as some things we will be talking about today: From the tenderest years of childhood, Kadaya faced unimaginable darkness - trauma-based mind control rooted in MONARCH programming, involving things like electroshock, near-drowning, and ritualistic horrors designed to fracture the soul and form dissociative identities. Whisked away to Masonic lodges, churches, the Vatican, and secret spaces for advanced Stargate conditioning, her extraordinary intelligence and spiritual gifts were weaponized by shadowy forces - Freemasons, Jesuits, and elite bloodlines - for sinister purposes. Outwardly, her life appeared as a picture-perfect childhood, but beneath the veil, her fragmented parts endured unspeakable torment, often cloaked as covert operations.Armed with this sacred strength, she boldly confronted her handlers and perpetrators, shattering the invisible chains that bound her mind and soul. Freedom came at a staggering price - betrayal from family, friends, and even her husband, who obtained a protection order, stripping her of her children, home, and stability. Enduring relentless gang-stalking and targeting, she found sanctuary with Restoration in Christ Ministries, where deprogramming and memory integration became pathways to wholeness. Though a flawed system separated her from her beloved children, Kadaya's unquenchable fire burns brighter: she battles tirelessly for their liberation and shines a bright light on hidden systemic evils.In recent episodes, we've journeyed deeply into Kadaya's powerful testimony - from the depths of programming and rituals, signs and symbols hidden in plain sight, through family trials and breakthrough freedom, to profound healing and beyond. On today's episode, Kadaya will be revealing and unveiling even more occulted knowledge and personal testimony through disclosure including personal updates on her life, being used as a remote womb, about neuro-linguistic programming, triggers in the news, Presidential rememberings, the black awakening, uniting survivors out of isolation, reuniting with ghosts from her past, more visuals and graphics that will be shown on screen, and even some poetry readings from Kadaya's incredible collection of poems that have been created and written through her healing process. You won't want to miss a moment of this episode. In typical Kadaya fashion, every moment will be gripping, eye-opening, inspiring, and informative all at once.

What if the Exodus story is not just ancient history, but a picture of your own journey from bondage to abundance in Christ? In this message from Abundant Life Church, we open Exodus 12 to see how God delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt and how Jesus, our Passover Lamb, delivers us from the penalty and power of sin.Discover how the blood of the Lamb over the doorposts points to the cross, where Jesus was sacrificed so that judgment would “pass over” all who trust in Him. Learn why the first step into God's promised land of abundant life is applying the blood of Christ and leaving the old life behind.We'll explore key scriptures including Exodus 12, John 10:10, 1 Corinthians 5, and 1 Peter 2 to see how God calls His people out of darkness and into His marvelous light—transforming former slaves into a royal priesthood and holy nation, set free to worship and serve Him.Whether you feel stuck in spiritual Egypt, bound by sin, shame, or your past, this sermon will invite you to receive Jesus “in haste,” purge out the old leaven, and step into the freedom and new identity God has for you.Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifelsConnect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kcBooks & Resources https://livingproof.co/resources/booksListen to The Well Podcast ⤵Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2Find Your Next Step: https://alife.livingproof.co/Watch more sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

True freedom is often misunderstood as the ability to do whatever we desire. Still, Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar examine how Scripture defines freedom as living to glorify God and walking in righteousness. The guys explain that the idol of freedom emerges when something good is taken too far, causing people to violate God's commands in pursuit of their own desires. They emphasize that without Christ, humans are enslaved to sin, passions, and self-righteousness, and that true liberty comes through surrender to Him. Freedom is not chaos or lawlessness; it is the disciplined ability to function within God's boundaries and enjoy Him forever.The guys explore how civil freedom can often be confused with spiritual freedom. Even in a society with many liberties, humans remain bound to sin unless Christ reigns in their lives. They describe sin as addictive, like a drug that offers pleasure but leads to bondage, and they challenge listeners to think about what they are worshipping. Self-rule cannot coexist with devotion to Jesus, and the guys encourage believers to seek God's will every day, align their desires with His, and develop contentment in the unique path He has planned. Freedom is not measured by what we can do, but by obedience to the Lord who governs all parts of life.The guys also discuss how personal freedom affects others. Using examples from universities and conversations with college students, they show how passions can enslave people and how sin acts as a dictator in life. True liberty means doing what is right regardless of others' opinions, yielding to the fruit of the Spirit rather than the flesh, and living without fear or hidden agendas. The guys encourage listeners to examine their lives, consider how they spend unstructured time, and evaluate whether they are genuinely free or secretly controlled by desires, habits, or societal pressures.Finally, the guys remind believers that freedom is relational and transformative. Walking in the light and desiring the Lord above fleshly pleasures reorients identity, repentance, and surrender. They challenge listeners to resist modern distortions of freedom, from self-mutilation to justification of sin, and to remember that God's commandments lead to life, not restriction. The pursuit of man often rejects God, but when the Son sets someone free, they are free indeed. The guys call believers to continually return to Him, yield to His authority, and embrace the true liberty that only comes through Christ. Send us a textThanks for listening!
