In Chapter 5 we see three types of individuals. Hypocrites Disciples Religionists   Scene 1 - (Acts 5:1-11)  Hypocrites - ("an actor" appearances matter most)   Then:  Ananias and Sapphira sold property to give to the group and made it look like they gave it all to the apostles'. But without letting the group know Ananias and Sapphira held back a portion of the sale for themselves. (This wasn't wrong - but what was wrong was making everyone thing they had given it all) Somehow Peter knew Ananias and his wife had lied about giving it all to the group and Peter tells Ananias that he has lied not just to the group but to the Holy Spirit, which is the same as lying to God. And then suddenly Ananias dies.   Three hours later…   Peter asks Sapphira if she and Ananias had given all precedes to the group and she says yes and she dies too. Great fear seized the whole "church" (the people of God) when they heard about Ananias and Sapphira.    Now: God is saying we are to take Him seriously. Not that we are perfect, but that we walk with Him. We see the danger of hypocrisy from this story. God is asking us to be genuine in our faith, to be humble before Him, to focus on Him and not in how we appear to others.    Scene 2 - (Acts 5:12-16) Disciples - (followers of Jesus - following Jesus matters most)   Then: The apostles performed many signs and wonders and the believers met together in Solomon's Colonnade. More and more men and women believed and were added to their numbers. People brought the sick into the streets for healing.   Now: We see there is power in the name of Jesus, there is power in the Jesus movement and power in the Holy Spirit. We are to follow Jesus wholeheartedly, to be committed to the Lord Jesus.   Scene 3 - (Acts 5:17-42) Religionists - what matters most is power and position regardless of what God says.   Then: We see the Sadducees are filled with jealousy and arrested the apostles. Then during the night an angel of the Lord opens the doors of the jail and tells the apostles to go and stand in the temple courts and tell the people all about new life in Christ. They go to the temple courts and began to teach the people and that set in motion a series of events: People reported that the apostles had escaped The captain of the temple guard and his officers did not use force to re-arrest the apostles as they didn't want to anger the crowds. All 12 apostles are brought before the Sanhedrin to be questioned.  The Sanhedrin had told them earlier they could not teach in the name of Jesus Peter and others respond that they must obey God rather than human beings and that God raised Jesus from the dead - who they had killed by putting Him on a cross. They told that God's plan was repentance and forgiveness of sin. They tell how they were witnesses just as the Holy Spirit is, and that the Spirit was given by God to those who obey Him.  Then when the Sanhedrin hear all this they want to put the apostles to death. But Gamaliel (Pharisee who was respected by the people) speaks up - giving an impassioned address encouraging the Sanhedrin not to act precipitously, giving previous examples of rebels and outcomes. Gamaliel's speech persuades the Sanhedrin.  Instead of being killed the apostles were flogged (this is a brutal beating) and were told to no longer speak in Jesus' name. Yet they left the beatings rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering for the Name of Jesus. They continued day after day to preach in the temple courts and homes and never stopped proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.   Now:   This tells us the importance of following Jesus. Pastor gives a personal testimony of great opposition that he experienced and how he and others were told to stop talking about the Holy Spirit. He concludes with sharing that the group resigned their positions, and were more concerned about obeying God than obeying people. The result was Awake Us Now and God's blessing is reaching more people than ever thought possible from around the world. He share how he and the ministry continue to rejoice as we see the incredible power of the risen Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit and the amazing love of the Father. Pastor ends with stating God's desire Is that all people be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth in Christ Jesus.   This week's READING ASSIGNMENT:   Acts chapter 5-6 (read and reflect on these two chapters together     Now What?

Preaching Point: Jesus teaches us to measure genuine faith by how comprehensive we love God and how sincerely we love others. Text: Matthew 22:34-40 (ESV) The Great Commandment 34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

Air Date: 6/17/2026 Today we trace a pattern that repeated across half a dozen states this primary season: working-class candidates running on the cost of living beat the opponents party leadership hand-picked and funded. It looks like ordinary election news, but it's more pieces of a larger shift already underway; away from a politics of left against right and toward a new era of the elite vs working people.

Holy Wars — Show Notes: Fight Laugh Feast Documentary In this Fight Laugh Feast documentary, CrossPolitic traces the inescapable question of holiness from Moses at the burning bush through the Great Awakenings, the Crusades, and into the present culture war — arguing that holiness is not private sentiment but public, world-transforming fire.

Time of Grace's Mike Novotny, author of "Newlywed:  A Christian Guide for Loving Year One," points out that so much attention is paid by many engaged couples on the ceremony, but not on the assumptions and expectations each has about married life.  How do you work through these assumptions and expectations to develop a common gameplan for the marriage.  Pastor Bob Castro offers an analysis of the spiritual elements of the epic sermon in Steven Spielberg movie "Disclosure Day." Does it really undercut belief in a Creator God and the Christian faith? The Reconnect with Carmen and all Faith Radio are made possible by your support. Give now: Click here

Aussies love a bargain, and for many of us, whether it was right or wrong, the allure of a cheap knock-off of a big-name, big-ticket item was too compelling to ignore. 

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme, “Chivalry.” Dr. Fazale Rana, also known as Dr. Fuz, joined us to discuss how biochemistry points to God’s design, explaining that discoveries in DNA and the unique human capacities for altruism, empathy, and chivalry reflect what it means to be made in the image of God. Dr. Fuz is the President, CEO, and Senior Scholar at Reasons to Believe, a non-profit that focuses on revealing God in science. Next, Seth Troutt joined us to talk about authentic masculinity, explaining how men can reject counterfeits such as passivity and toxic masculinity by pursuing godly character, Christlike responsibility, and biblical chivalry. Seth is the Teaching Pastor at Ironwood Church in the Phoenix metro area and author of “Authentic Masculinity: Leaving Behind the Counterfeits for God’s Design.” We then had Hutz Hertzberg join us to talk about the growing hunger for Christ-centered education, explaining why parents are rethinking their children’s schooling and how classical Christian education offers an alternative rooted in biblical truth. Hutz is the chairman at Hope in Truth and currently the Chief Education Officer of Turning Point USA’s education arm, Turning Point Education.

In this episode, I'm joined by historian, national security intelligence veteran, and author Ralph DeFalco to discuss his new novel The Counterfeit. Set in a chilling near future, the novel imagines an America defeated in a Pacific war, politically fractured, economically broken, and increasingly authoritarian. At its center is a daring intelligence operation involving identity, deception, resistance, and the fight to preserve freedom from within. Drawing upon a five-decade career in intelligence and national security, DeFalco blends geopolitical realism with thriller pacing to explore questions that feel increasingly relevant in today's uncertain world.

when we come down from looking at God's sovereignty to view the workings of the human heart, we see that there were certain instrumental causes which operated on the minds of the one, as there were certain instrumental causes which influenced the wills of the other. Those that "received Him not" were under the influence of certain workings. They knew nothing of divine sovereignty; they had no idea that what they said and did was according to God's "determinate counsel" (Act 2:23). Indoing what they did, they followed the bent of theirown minds; and thus they were seemingly left to theexercise of their own will, while God really orderedevery action, that it might be to His own glory.

In 1971, a boy named David Vetter was placed into a germ-free protective bubble within seconds of being born. His immune system just did not work, leaving him with no ability to fight off even the most common germ or illness. Reading that story, I found myself wishing I could put the Church in a bubble just like it, where every piece of false teaching would be automatically filtered out. But Jesus made it clear that that is not the world we live in. As He neared the end of the Sermon on the Mount, He gave His highest spiritual alert, not about a danger coming from outside the Church but from within it: “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves” (Matthew 7:15, NIV). Three steps from Jesus Himself will equip you to recognize a counterfeit prophet, reject their teaching, and never be fooled.

In this eye-opening episode of "Strange Encounters," Rick Burgess tackles several growing trends that many Christians are embracing without asking the most important question: Does it line up with Scripture? As spiritual deception becomes harder to recognize, Rick examines three growing trends that many Christians may be overlooking, including the controversy surrounding the Passion Translation, the debate over UFOs and demons, and the rise of modern breathwork practices. Rick explores a larger question: How do believers discern what is truly from God and what is not? Hear biblical answers and clear spiritual guidance as Rick Burgess applies Scripture to help believers navigate the spiritual war happening around us in this episode of "Strange Encounters." From: Mia Knight Learn more about your ad choices.

Host Jeff Shepherd explores the complex legacy of the Azusa Street Revival in this episode, beginning with powerful testimony from two people who, as children, received lasting healings — one from deafness and one from tuberculosis — that endured for seventy years. These testimonies anchor the program's repeated point: God still heals, even amid flawed movements and confused leadership. The episode traces historical roots leading to Azusa Street, profiling Frank W. Sanford and his commune at Shiloh, Charles Fox Parham and his Bethel school (including his teachings that tongues were the sole evidence of the Spirit and his emphasis on divine healing), and William Seymour, the Black preacher who became the central figure at Azusa Street in 1906. Shepard reviews both contemporary praise for Azusa's miracles and sharp criticisms from respected Bible teachers who described chaos, occult influences, and moral failures within and around the meetings. Key topics include eyewitness accounts of extraordinary phenomena and disorder at Azusa, comparisons to later movements such as the Toronto Blessing, and the author's contention that many of these manifestations resemble the Kundalini or serpent energy rather than healthy fruit of the Holy Spirit. Scriptural framing is applied using Deuteronomy 18:9–12 and 1 Corinthians 12: the program affirms that spiritual gifts like healing and miracles are real, but warns that signs and wonders without faithful Word ministry invite deception. Shepard emphasizes discernment: genuine moves of God can be infiltrated by counterfeit spirits, and believers must test everything by Scripture, adopt a Berean spirit, and hold fast to the person of Jesus. The episode balances testimony of authentic miracles with sober historical critique and practical application: search the Scriptures daily, know the real Jesus, and remain anchored in the unchanging Word to avoid being deceived. Listeners can expect history, firsthand testimony, doctrinal analysis, and pastoral exhortation on how to recognize true revival versus imitation, all delivered with a call to love God, love family, and make a godly difference in the community.

DESCRIPTION A bombshell investigation into alleged fake college degrees tied to the H-1B visa program is sending shockwaves through the workforce debate. Charlie breaks down reports of counterfeit engineering, nursing, and medical credentials, the role of foreign diploma mills, and why critics say American graduates have been paying the price for years. Plus, the political battle behind immigration policy, corporate lobbying, and the growing scrutiny of visa programs that were originally designed to fill high-skilled positions. PODCAST SUMMARY Charlie examines explosive allegations involving fraud within the H-1B visa system after reports surfaced that authorities in India uncovered large-scale diploma mill operations allegedly producing counterfeit academic credentials. According to the discussion, investigators have identified thousands of fake degrees spanning engineering, healthcare, nursing, and other professional fields. The episode explores concerns that the visa program, originally intended to address shortages of highly skilled workers, may have been exploited by fraudulent applicants and organizations seeking access to U.S. employment opportunities. Charlie argues that these developments raise serious questions about credential verification, workforce oversight, and the impact on American graduates entering STEM-related professions. The conversation also examines the political and financial interests surrounding immigration policy, including the role of corporate lobbying and visa expansion efforts. Charlie contends that labor market competition has been artificially influenced by policies that increase the supply of workers in certain industries, putting downward pressure on wages and employment opportunities. Additionally, the show highlights investigations conducted by state officials and discusses how enforcement actions overseas may have exposed weaknesses in credential verification systems used by employers and government agencies. The episode concludes with a broader discussion about trust in institutions, workforce qualifications, and the need for greater transparency in programs designed to bring skilled labor into the United States. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reports of counterfeit academic credentials have intensified scrutiny of the H-1B visa system. Investigators have reportedly uncovered diploma mills issuing fake degrees across multiple professional fields. Engineering, healthcare, and nursing credentials are among the areas receiving increased attention. Questions remain about how credentials are verified during employment and visa approval processes. American STEM graduates continue to face challenges in a competitive labor market. Corporate lobbying remains a major factor in immigration and workforce policy debates. Visa programs intended for skilled workers are facing renewed calls for oversight and reform. Workforce credential verification may become a larger national policy issue moving forward. SOCIAL MEDIA TITLE The H-1B Bombshell: Fake Degrees & Real Consequences SOCIAL MEDIA DESCRIPTION A major investigation into counterfeit college degrees is raising serious questions about the H-1B visa program, workforce competition, and the future of American jobs.

The Counterfeit Anointing • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give How the Enemy Mimics God's Message and How We Can Discern the Real Thing One of Satan's greatest strategies is not outright opposition. It is imitation. The devil has always been a counterfeiter. He takes what God is doing, mimics it, twists it, and then presents it as truth. He did it in the Garden of Eden. He did it through false prophets in Israel. He did it in the early Church. He's still doing it today. The enemy understands that most believers won't follow obvious darkness. Instead, he presents a version of truth that is almost right, but slightly altered. A little compromise. A little distortion. A little mixture. Paul warned the church about this very thing. 2 Corinthians 11:14 (NKJV) “And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” Notice that Satan doesn't come dressed like darkness. He disguises himself as light. How do we discern what is truly from God and what is merely a counterfeit? Let's examine ten ways. 1. The Real Message Exalts Jesus, Not Man Scripture: John 16:14 (NKJV) “He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.” 2. The Real Message Produces Repentance Scripture: Acts 3:19 (NKJV) “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.” 3. The Real Message Agrees with Scripture Scripture: Isaiah 8:20 (NKJV) “To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” 4. The Real Message Produces Holiness Scripture: 1 Peter 1:15-16 (NKJV) “But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.” 5. The Real Message Requires a Cross Scripture: Luke 9:23 (NKJV) “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” 6. The Real Message Produces the Fear of the Lord Scripture: Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV) “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” 7. The Real Message Produces Spiritual Fruit Scripture: Matthew 7:16 (NKJV) “You will know them by their fruits.” 8. The Real Message Draws People Into God's Presence Scripture: Psalm 16:11 (NKJV) “In Your presence is fullness of joy.” 9. The Real Message Stands Against the Spirit of the Age Scripture: Romans 12:2 (NKJV) “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” 10. The Real Message Endures the Test of Time Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:13 (NKJV) “Each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it.” The enemy has always been a counterfeiter. He counterfeited God's Word in Eden. He counterfeited miracles through Pharaoh's magicians. He counterfeited prophecy through false prophets. He counterfeited apostles in the early Church. And today he continues to counterfeit truth. That is why discernment is not optional for believers. 1 John 4:1 (NKJV) “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God.” The answer is not fear. The answer is not suspicion. The answer is intimacy with Jesus. The more familiar you become with the genuine, the easier it is to recognize the counterfeit. Bank tellers don't spend their careers studying fake money. They study the real thing. Church, know the Word. Know the voice of God. Know the character of Christ. Know the leading of the Holy Spirit. And you will not easily be deceived in this hour.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Rosie Ward, Ph.D., author of Future-Proofing Leadership: Navigating Change and Disruption to Thrive in an Uncertain World. Together, they expose the hidden "stuckness zone"—the widening gap between an increasingly chaotic world and the ancient, self-protective biological hardwiring that causes leaders to freeze, panic, or micromanage when disruption hits. Dr. Ward peels back the corporate mask to share a deeply personal look into her own journey, proving that no one is entirely immune to the subtle internal biases that quietly sabotage our best strategic intentions. If you have ever felt completely overwhelmed by rapid organizational shifts or wondered why your team defaults to a state of defensive paralysis when under pressure, this eye-opening conversation is your ultimate invitation to upgrade your inner operating system. By exploring the core human challenges beneath corporate strategies, this episode maps out a practical blueprint for stepping away from fear-based habits and moving confidently into authentic, resilient execution.

Preaching Point: : Jesus' rebuke must warn us against rejecting biblical truth through faulty reasoning and encourage us to trust God's power and God's Word, even when confronted with difficult doctrines.Text: Matthew 22:23–33 (ESV) 23 The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.' 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.” 29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

Looming on the horizon, is the coming Tribulation Period upon the world. And with it, a coming world leader. Where will he come from? What will be the source of his power? How will he control the world population. Rev. 13 addresses and answers many of these questions, and more. Join us as we continue our look at the Antichrist in this podcast message.

What does it really mean when scripture says that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever?In this throwback solo episode, Megan Farner explores one of the most misunderstood phrases in scripture and challenges the common assumption that "the same" means "unchanging." Drawing from the King Follett Discourse, Lectures on Faith, the Book of Mormon, and broader spiritual principles, she examines how God's consistency may be rooted in perfect obedience to eternal law rather than the absence of growth or progression. Topics include: The true nature and character of God  Joseph Smith's teachings on eternal progression  The King Follett Discourse  Faith as a principle of power  The doctrine of Christ and spiritual transformation  Eternal laws, agency, miracles, and divine potential  What it means to become more like God If you've ever wrestled with questions about God's nature, eternal progression, or the relationship between faith and spiritual growth, this episode offers a thought-provoking perspective.Subscribe for more conversations on scripture, spiritual development, temple symbolism, and the path of discipleship.Timestamps00:00 Introduction 00:15 What Does "God Is the Same" Mean? 02:04 Why Understanding God's Nature Matters 06:00 The Problem with "Unchanging" Interpretations 07:05 Joseph Smith on God's Progression 10:47 God and Eternal Law 13:53 The Law of Gender & Divine Partnership 15:31 Polarity, Opposition, and Creation 19:25 Symbolism and the Law of Correspondence 21:59 Thoughts, Agency, and the Law of Attraction 24:40 Faith as a Principle of Power 27:27 Cause and Effect: The Law of the Harvest 29:01 Rhythm, Cycles, and the Doctrine of Christ 29:59 Consecration and the Law of Abundance 31:36 Oneness, Zion, and Atonement 33:03 Scriptural Evidence for God's Consistency 38:25 God as a God of Miracles 43:00 Faith, Repentance, and Spiritual Alignment 44:47 No Variableness, Neither Shadow of Changing 47:42 The Counterfeits of Eternal Law 55:51 Learning to Become Like God 58:16 Divine Potential and Co-Equality with God 01:00:28 Temple Covenants and Eternal Laws 01:01:24 Final Thoughts If you feel called to better understand and embody your divine femininity, consider if our next cohort of Return to the Garden is for you!

Most of us have learned to show our best and hide our worst. But what happens when the gap between your image and your reality gets too wide to manage? In this message from the Counterfeit Faith series, Luke Crawford unpacks what Jesus said about people who had perfected the appearance of having it all together — and why that kind of life leads nowhere good. If you've ever felt like you're performing a version of yourself rather than actually living, this one's for you.

True believers possess, proclaim and protect the gospel against all counterfeits. Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.

In this powerful message, Pastor Travis Lilley exposes the enemy's three most common counterfeits designed to pull believers away from God's truth and purpose. From the endless pursuit of “more,” to craving validation from others, to trying to control everything ourselves, the enemy continues to use the same tactics he used against Jesus in Matthew 4. But God has called us to something greater. This sermon will help you: Recognize counterfeit fulfillment and false security Find true contentment and identity in Christ Break free from the pressure to perform for people Trust God instead of carrying the burden of control Protect the “pea patch” God has entrusted to you Through biblical truth and practical application, you'll discover how to stand firm against the enemy's lies and live confidently in the Kingdom of God.

Chris has special guest, former host Nick Libretti, on the podcast to talk about JR's new private label, Genuine Cuban Counterfeits.

In the coming weeks, months and years we will see more and more talk of “the common good” as the solution and guiding principle for bringing order to the world. But the life of Christ and the teachings of the bible actually testify against this way of thinking, because it is fundamentally antichrist. That may seem like a bold claim, but today we will see what the bible actually has to say about the common good. * 00:00 - Introduction* 03:59 - What is the Common Good?* 13:55 - The Common Good as a Counterfeit of the Truth* 24:23 - What the Bible Says About the Common Good* 1:00:40 - Final Thoughts This is a public episode.
