They also address the reality of addiction in the church and why healing requires honesty, accountability, and a deeper desire for Jesus than for sin. At the center of the conversation is a simple question:What are you giving up in exchange for constant distraction?
In this episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Tim sits down with pastor and author Seth Troutt to discuss one of the most debated topics in culture today: biblical masculinity.

The conversation explores:biblical masculinity vs cultural masculinityGen Z, social media, and digital discipleshipAndrew Tate and competing visions of manhoodpornography, purity, and datingmarriage and sacrificial leadershipfatherhood and spiritual formationmale loneliness and friendshipAI relationships and technology addictionraising boys into godly menSeth also explains why many young men feel lost today, how technology is shaping identity, and why the church has an opportunity to offer a compelling vision of God's design for men.

Acts 2:29-33 | The Promise Fulfilled in Jesus (Podcast)
In this episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim wrestle with a sobering question many Christians never stop to ask:Can someone spend years in church… and still miss Jesus?Using the story of the road to Emmaus in Luke 24, this conversation explores how two disciples walked with the resurrected Jesus and still failed to recognize Him. They knew the scriptures. They had followed Christ. They understood the events surrounding the cross. Yet somehow, they were still spiritually blind to the fact that Jesus Himself was walking beside them.The discussion dives into how the same thing can happen today through routine, familiarity, distraction, and cultural Christianity. Drew and Tim unpack the danger of going through the motions in church, becoming spiritually numb to worship, sermons, and even the gospel itself. They explore how easy it is to know church culture, Christian language, and religious routines while still lacking genuine intimacy with Jesus.Throughout the episode, they discuss spiritual blindness, false versions of Christianity, the importance of scripture, and how distractions like social media, personalities, politics, and constant content consumption can slowly pull believers away from true relationship with Christ. The conversation also challenges listeners to stop chasing emotional moments, constant “words,” or religious performance and instead pursue deeper intimacy through prayer, obedience, and the Word of God.Drew and Tim also talk honestly about worship becoming routine, how believers can prepare their hearts before church, and why many Christians today may love the idea of Jesus more than they truly know Him personally. At the center of the episode is a reminder that Christianity is not about checking a religious box—it's about truly encountering Jesus and following Him with surrender.No matter how long someone has been in church, there is always a deeper level of intimacy, obedience, and revelation available in Christ.
In this episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim tackle one of the most divisive conversations in modern Christianity: false teachers, discernment, church culture, and the rise of “heresy hunter” content online. Right now, social media is flooded with clips calling pastors heretics, false teachers, or wolves—and many Christians are left wondering:What actually makes someone a false teacher?Is every bad sermon automatically heresy?Can a pastor say something wrong without being condemned?And what's the difference between biblical discernment and a critical spirit?This episode dives deep into:what scripture says about false teacherswhy context matters with online sermon clipshow church culture can unintentionally produce critical peoplethe dangers of outrage-based Christianityand why believers must know scripture for themselves instead of living off internet callout cultureDrew and Tim also share personal stories from ministry, discuss public Christian leaders like Joel Osteen, Steven Furtick, and Ravi Zacharias, and wrestle honestly with the tension between grace, truth, discernment, and accountability. At the center of the conversation is a simple reminder:Our eyes ultimately belong on Jesus—not internet controversies.

What if the real reason we don't have revival… isn't God—but us?In this convicting episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Tim and Drew confront the uncomfortable truth many believers avoid: we say we want revival, but we resist the surrender it requires. Drawing from the bold teachings of Charles Finney and real-life ministry experience, this conversation exposes how passivity, fear, and hidden sin quietly block the move of God in our lives. From the tension between God's sovereignty and our responsibility to the danger of “waiting on God” as an excuse for disobedience, this episode will challenge how you think about revival.You'll also hear a powerful breakdown of why revival starts personally—not corporately—and why small acts of obedience matter more than hype moments. If you've ever felt stuck spiritually, struggled to follow through on what God is asking, or wondered why revival feels out of reach, this episode will hit deep. The truth is simple but piercing: you don't need more information—you need activation. Revival isn't coming to your church until it starts in you.Check out our merch store! https://eyesonjesuspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/Get all our links in one easy place! https://linktr.ee/eyesonjesuspodcastGet the Eyes on Jesus 90 Day Discernment Devotionalhttps://a.co/d/3v8963sJoin our Group on Facebook- Eyes on Jesus podcast community https://www.facebook.com/groups/eyesonjesuspodcastEmail feedback, questions or show topic ideas to eyesonjesuspodcast@outlook.comFor more information on Drew Barker: Follow Drew on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pastordrewbarkerDrew's church's website https://yes.online/For more information on Tim Ferrara: Get all his links in one place- to his social media, all 3 of his books, and more at https://linktr.ee/discerning_dad
