It's never been easier to tear someone down from behind a screen. But what does that mean for Christians called to speak truth in love—not just in person, but online too?In Episode 99 of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Tim and Drew tackle the increasingly urgent topic of social media anonymity and its spiritual implications. In a time when online platforms reward outrage, controversy, and clicks over truth, many believers are losing sight of how to engage with others in a way that reflects the heart of Christ. This episode was sparked by the recent and sobering situation involving ministry leader Josh Buice, who was revealed to have operated multiple anonymous accounts used to slander fellow Christians. His fall serves as a sobering example of how hidden sin can flourish behind the veil of digital anonymity—and how integrity, accountability, and love must remain non-negotiables in our online lives.Anonymity Breeds Temptation:Operating behind a nameless handle makes it easier to say things that would never be said face-to-face—and often, those words cause real damage.Social Media Has Rewired Human Interaction:We are more connected than ever but often more isolated, harsh, and reactive. The lack of real-life interaction leads many to forget there's a person on the other side of the screen.Christian Truth Without Love Becomes Harmful:Even if what's said is “right,” if it's not said with grace, it becomes another clanging symbol in an already noisy world. As Christians, we are called to season our speech and reflect the love of Jesus, even online.Controversy Gets the Clicks:Algorithms promote what is outrageous, not what is edifying. Without intentional boundaries, believers can find themselves more focused on stirring division than sowing peace.Integrity Still Matters—Even When No One Sees:Just because it's anonymous doesn't mean it's harmless. Hidden activity online eventually leads to consequences, personally and publicly.We're Talking to Real People:Bots aside, most of our interactions online are with actual human souls. We're not debating avatars—we're influencing lives, for better or worse.Check Your Motives:Ask yourself: Why am I on social media? Is it to spread hope and truth, or to gain validation and vent frustration?It Might Be Time to Log Off:If your time online leads to more bitterness than growth, it may be time to unplug, regroup, and invite God to reset your heart.We're celebrating a major milestone next week as Tim and Drew are joined by their wives for a personal and heartfelt conversation about life, faith, and family. It's one you won't want to miss!

Is simply praying a prayer enough to guarantee salvation? In this thought-provoking episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim take on one of the most widely accepted practices in modern evangelical Christianity—the Sinner's Prayer. Rooted in revival movements and popularized through evangelistic crusades, this simple prayer has become a hallmark of Christian conversion. But has it led people into genuine faith or a false sense of security? Through honest conversation, biblical insight, and personal reflection, the guys challenge listeners to examine whether true salvation is marked by a moment or a lifestyle. They also explore what it means to be a disciple of Jesus—not just a convert—and how churches can better nurture new believers beyond the altar call.

Send us a textCharlie's voice trembles slightly as she recounts the unimaginable horrors of her past. Born in the South and raised in poverty, her childhood was marked by sexual abuse from her grandfather while her mother turned a blind eye. School offered no escape—bullied mercilessly for her appearance, she dropped out in seventh grade, seeking acceptance wherever she could find it.The streets provided temporary community but ultimately led her into the hands of human traffickers when what seemed like an innocent car ride became a nightmare. Trapped for years under threats to her family's safety, Charlie witnessed murder and endured repeated assaults. Yet in this darkness, an unexpected light emerged—her pregnancy and the birth of her daughter gave Charlie a reason to fight for freedom."I looked at her every day and thought, 'I don't see that person,'" Charlie explains, referring to her attacker. That precious relationship became her anchor through the storm. Years later, a DNA test revealed that her daughter's biological father wasn't her trafficker but a kind truck driver Charlie had briefly dated—a revelation that felt like divine confirmation that beauty can indeed rise from ashes.After multiple suicide attempts and a desperate plan to exact revenge on her captors, Charlie found herself following strangers' directions to a women's shelter. "The most beautiful lady walked in the door... Miss Susie. She looked like an angel," Charlie recalls of the woman who helped her start a new life. Four years clean from drugs and with her own place for the first time, Charlie now views even her health challenges as blessings that keep her safely grounded.Her message resonates with breathtaking simplicity: "Nothing's too big, nothing's too hard. Just trust in Jesus." Throughout unimaginable trauma, Charlie's faith remained her lifeline, proving that even in our darkest moments, hope persists. Her story isn't just one of survival—it's a powerful testament to resilience, redemption, and the unwavering strength of faith when everything else has been stripped away.If you would like to be a guest and share your story, click this link: https://thepromoter.org/story/ Thanks for Listening, and subscribe to hear a new episode each week!
