We all have unique personalities and different opportunities, but each of us can share Jesus with someone.
Romans 7:4 — Why is the doctrine of union with Christ so important? Many people consider theology to be useless and irrelevant for their everyday life. They want what is practical. In this sermon on Romans 7:4 titled “Union – Its Privileges and Purpose,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones expounds on the great theological doctrine of union with Christ and its everyday importance. He says the Christian has hope anew each and every day because they have died to themselves and now live in Christ. The doctrine of union with Christ teaches that they are no longer slaves to themselves, but are now slaves to Christ. They are inheritors of all the promises because they are one in Christ Jesus. This is the pure and unmatched hope of the gospel: God in Jesus Christ for His people. What of those that do not know Jesus? It is only in Christ that anyone can have true hope and all those that reject His gospel reject the only way of salvation. This is why the church must preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The church is not only the bride of Christ, but also the ambassador of Christ in the world. This sermon asks all if they have this hope. Are they now one with Christ?
We had Pete Enns back on the stream to dive deeper into questions from his "God of Justice" lecture, and man, did we get into some rich territory. Pete walked us through the fascinating tension between Deuteronomy 17's positive view of kingship versus First Samuel 8's harsh warnings - showing how the Bible itself contains multiple voices wrestling with power and justice rather than giving us simple answers. We explored why some Christians see social justice as heresy (spoiler: it's rooted in centuries of individualistic gospel interpretation), how the biblical texts often reflect hindsight commentary on failed systems rather than predictive prophecy, and why our modern drive for binary, black-and-white answers actually misses the beautiful complexity that makes scripture so relevant to our messy human experience. Tim and I got into the weeds on deconstruction, the liberating terror of discovering the Bible isn't a rulebook dropped from heaven, and how we might learn to negotiate with ancient texts the way Jesus did - amplifying calls to justice while cutting out the boundary-drawing exclusivity. Plus Pete dropped some wisdom on everything from MAGA theology to why every generation has to figure out what it means to "take up your cross" in their own time and place. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Peter Enns (Ph.D., Harvard University) is Abram S. Clemens professor of biblical studies at Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania. He has written numerous books, including The Bible Tells Me So, The Sin of Certainty, and How the Bible Actually Works.

A Scripture verse quoted out of context and wrongly applied is very dangerous. Satan did just that when he tempted Jesus. In this message from Ephesians 6, Pastor Lutzer observes the power of God's Word as it puts the enemy to flight. Believers are told to counter Satan's attacks with the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/172/29

In this explosive episode, we dive into the rising tide of political violence, media bias, and government corruption threatening our nation. From viral social media posts glorifying attacks on conservative figures like Charlie Kirk to the shocking hypocrisy in how “hate speech” is defined, we unpack the dangers facing Americans who dare to speak freely. We examine real-world consequences, including corporate censorship and societal backlash, and ask the hard questions: who decides what speech is acceptable, and how far will the left go in criminalizing dissent? Our special guest, Dr. Kandiss Taylor, candidate for Georgia's 1st Congressional District, brings her unique perspective as a 22-year educator, counselor, and administrator. Known for her bold campaign slogan, “Jesus, Guns, & Babies,” Dr. Taylor shares her vision for restoring accountability in public office, protecting families, and reforming education and mental health policy. Together, we explore how faith, family, and freedom intersect with public service, and what it takes to stand firm against the rising tide of ideological extremism and government overreach. We're also covering the response of Conservative Media to Charlie's assassination. Milo Yiannopoulos, the provocative British commentator and bestselling author, as he returns to challenge mainstream narratives and defend free speech. From his fearless critiques of political correctness on college campuses to his unflinching takes on media hypocrisy. Ben Shapiro and Megyn Kelly rise to the challenge. This episode is a must-listen for anyone committed to protecting liberty, exposing corruption, and standing up for truth in a polarized world.
Within conspiratorial history, the number 33 appears to hold mystical significance, largely due to its connections with Freemasonry. There are now many conspiracy researchers who have been digging into the 33 coincidences, comparing Charlie Kirk's assassination to John F. Kennedy's and how the number 33 and secret society coincidences have been revealed. In the manuscript ‘King Kill 33′ by James Shelby Downard and Michael A. Hoffman II, a ‘King Kill' ritual took place in Dallas, Texas, when President Kennedy was shot, and his death was televised for all of the world to see. It was similar to the crucifixion of Christ as an entire nation watched; he was labeled a martyr, the prince of Camelot, a Christ-like figure whose assailant died later, similar to Judas. The shadow government, or cryptocracy, uses many tools of psychological warfare to set the mood for the Revelation of the Method. To ignore the esoteric connections to historical events is myopic in nature. We must accept that some mysterious beliefs and myths shape our lives and those of the elite.

Drawing from Scripture, she offers practical encouragement and four truths to help you live boldly and obediently, even on the days when your emotions waver.

In this episode of CrossPolitic, Gabe and Toby address the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk and deliver a wake-up call to the American church. They argue that the church has catastrophically failed in its duty as shepherds, receiving an "F minus" grade for allowing wolves to infiltrate education systems while pastors refuse to warn their congregations about the dangers of public schools. They critique the humanistic unity message being promoted in response to Kirk's murder, explaining how this false religion, which elevates humanity rather than God as the ultimate standard, actually breeds the very violence it claims to oppose. The conversation takes a hard turn toward biblical truth, with the hosts drawing from 2 Corinthians 6 to emphasize that there can be no unity between light and darkness, between Christ and those who hate Him. They challenge the "thou shalt be nice" mentality that has captured much of American Christianity, calling instead for believers to recognize the fundamental war between Christianity and humanism that has raged for over 150 years.

Life can change in an instant. And, in that moment, the illusion of control can either take you down a path of fear and worry or a path of surrender and peace. In today's podcast, Laurie Brooker, from our community group in Trussville, Alabama, shares her story of how the Lord guided her to trust His sovereign plan as He strengthened and upheld her through the loss of her husband and a cancer diagnosis of her own (all in the same year). Laurie will courageously remind you that while life can sometimes place unwanted titles on you, God can bring joy out of the pain and goodness into your story. _________________________________________________________ Verse of the Week: Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Challenge of the Week: Laurie spoke often of how her community surrounded her in the suffering her family was experiencing.

Jonah, the reluctant prophet, was called to prophesy against the pagan capital of the world, Nineveh. He attempted to shun the assignment until God explained it to him a little more clearly! His message to Nineveh:40 days and you get yours! The greatest miracle in the book of Jonah was Nineveh's repentance, within the allotted 40 days, on speculation! They reasoned that maybe, if they repented, God might change His mind. They did. And He did. A century later, Nahum was sent to ask them to repent and Nineveh failed. Judgment resulted. Obadiah prophesied against Israel's enemies. His book provides insights into the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ and why some countries will apparently escape the rule of the Antichrist. These are three small books of the Bible that contribute a critical perspective for all of us. This study contains 8 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 10-01-2010

Content creator and evangelist Bryce Crawford joins Levi and Jennie for a joy-soaked, faith-filled conversation that moves from “communion-flavored” energy drinks to the moment Jesus met him at a Waffle House and rerouted his life. Bryce opens up about anxiety, depression, and the night everything changed, plus why hugs, listening, and Scripture are his go-to tools for sharing the gospel in everyday moments. You'll also hear the heart behind his street conversations and live podcast nights, the hunger he's seeing in Gen Z for God's Word, and a powerful story of prayer, healing, and a man finding his way home. It's playful, honest, and deeply encouraging—an episode to replay when you need courage to love people where they are.

Patrick shares Pastor Rob McCoy’s moving words on grief, humility, and the need for prayer over self-promotion. He challenges listeners to seek out full context before judging, especially as cherry-picked soundbites and heated rhetoric fan confusion and division online. Callers struggle with discerning truth from spin, while Patrick insists that Christians ground themselves in charity and honest dialogue, always returning to what Christ would have them do amid the noise. Audio: Charlie Kirk’s Pastor Rob McCoy speaks out “This is not the time to get clicks” (02:54) Audio: Minister talking about what happens when you demonize political opponents (20:42) Elizabeth (email) - He is the “alleged killer” or can be referred to as “the one police say killed Charlie Kirk.” (22:06) Marvin - How can we fact check what we see and hear online when it comes to Charlie Kirk? (25:08) Audio: What Charlie Kirk really said about the Civil Rights Act (28:03) Cindy - We need to help others have Jesus in their heart through Charlie's death (35:01) Audio: Roadmap to CK assassination – montage of government officials saying there is a rise of fascism that needs to be stopped (38:57) Audio: Senator Eric Schmitt OBLITERATES the “both sides” nonsense – if we want to get to unity, let’s be honest (47:03) Addison - How can I respond charitably to those of my friends who insist that Charlie was bad guy? (49:07)
Patrick tackles everything from spouses nodding off at Mass to pressing questions about mixed-faith relationships and finding trustworthy news for Catholic classrooms, all with real listener calls and a dash of humor. He doesn’t shy away from controversy either, one caller presses him on whether celebrating violence online should mean losing your job, prompting Patrick to challenge listeners on character, consequences, and genuine Christian witness. What emerges is a fast-moving blend of everyday Catholic struggles and tough conversations, always anchored in faith and real-life experience. Rosy (email) – How can I help my husband from falling asleep at Mass? (00:55) Crella (email) – How do I talk to someone who refuses to renounce Methodism, and even tries to convince me that the Holy Eucharist is not the real blood and body of Jesus Christ, but just a symbol? (06:44) Katie - Do you have any alternatives to CNN10 that can be played in Catholic schools. The teacher plays it in one of my kid's classes. (14:14) Mary Anne (email) – People should not be fired for celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk. (22:17) Emma - My sister told me she is going to a Protestant service with her friends. Do you have any advice on what I can say to warn her about this? (31:18) Bridget (email) - Patrick, if you needed surgery and the best surgeon is happy about ANYBODY'S death and so is the second-best surgeon and so is the third best......would you take the fourth best? I don't think I would. (37:11) Richard (email) - How might a faithful Catholic respond to this 'religious hero' worship? (40:11) Calvin - Falling asleep during the homily. Sitting more towards the edge of the bench instead of leaning back on the pew has helped me. (47:27) Audio: Scott Jennings – I’m not losing any sleep over the people being fired for celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death (49:10)
Patrick examines the dangers of celebrating violence and the real impact of radicalization. His conversation weaves personal stories, tough questions about forgiveness, and practical guidance on Catholic living, all while fielding heartfelt calls about ethical investing, over-sexualization in culture, and feelings of spiritual unrest. Wrestling with complex issues and sharp questions, Patrick brings depth, candor, and encouragement to anyone grappling with faith in a chaotic world. Audio: you’re being asked not to celebrate Patrick and Cyrus talk about gently walking with those with different points of view (01:17) Luke - Humane Vitae and Theology of the Body. Do these books relate to the over-sexualization of the culture today? (03:51) Mike - I listen to your show a lot. I don't feel any love from you, just judgement. What should I do? I feel like life has no meaning. (13:02) Patrick shares an email about ways to combat falling asleep at Mass (23:15) James - Mike is saying he isn't able to experience forgiveness. The parable of the prodigal son might help him. (25:29) Marty – On people getting fired for bad behavior: I am a school bus driver. If I go into road rage, my boss would hold me accountable. People should be held accountable for what goes on in private life. (27:14) Linda - If when you die and go to Purgatory, does your body and soul go to heaven when Christ returns?

(45:35) Audio: First, the left tried to convince us the man who killed Charlie Kirk was a conservative. That failed. Now, we're seeing multiple attempts to frame this as some transgender love story. Scott Jennings takes on Montel Williams (47:39)

All who call on the name of Christ are in a lifelong battle. That's why we have been given the armor of God: five pieces for self-defense, and one weapon for offense. In this message from Matthew 4, Pastor Lutzer exposes three temptations Satan gave to Jesus. Jesus shows us, more than anyone else, how to wield the Word of God against Satan.
