What does the Gospel of John reveal about who Jesus really is? In this message from The Gospels, we journey through the Book of John and discover Jesus as the Light in the darkness, the Bread of Life, the Living Water, the Good Shepherd, and the Way, the Truth, and the Life. John gives us a beautiful picture of a Savior who doesn't simply offer us information about God—He invites us into a relationship with Him. At the center of John's Gospel is the incredible truth that God so loved the world that He gave His Son so that we could have life. Wherever you are today, Jesus is still the Light when you feel lost, the Living Water when your soul is thirsty, and the Good Shepherd who knows you and cares for you. The Gospels See Jesus. Know Jesus. Follow Jesus.

Don Ross is the founder of Manhood Tribes, a former pastor of 20 years who now works in digital marketing and has spent over two decades helping men cut through the noise around masculinity and build real brotherhood. Married 22 years with two boys, he's built his work around five marks of manhood and, more recently, helping men prepare for what he believes are the biblical end times. This is a unique episode. Don walks Larry through the specific signs he sees converging right now, the nation of Israel and the temple, the move toward digital currency, and the gospel reaching every ethnic group, then pivots to what actually matters for the average man: building community, growing real-world skills, and developing a genuine relationship with Jesus rather than just checking religious boxes. If you've felt the anxiety of scrolling the news and wondered how to lead your family through uncertain times, this conversation offers a grounded, faith-centered answer.   Timeline Summary [3:29] – How close are we to the end times, and what that phrase actually means [5:28] – Why the anxiety men feel scrolling their phones connects to the bigger picture [7:33] – The specific signs happening now that are unique in human history [9:05] – Introducing Don Ross, Manhood Tribes, and the epidemic of male loneliness [12:35] – The Euphrates River drying up as a minor sign [13:29] – Israel reestablished as a nation in 1948 and the Ezekiel dry bones prophecy [15:10] – The Temple Institute, the red heifer, and preparations for a third temple [20:41] – Why the dome of the Rock and secular Israeli politics have stalled the temple [25:05] – Global commerce, the mark of the beast, and central bank digital currencies [29:23] – How state-controlled currency mirrors China's social credit system [32:29] – The third and more hopeful sign: the gospel reaching every ethnic group by 2033 [35:27] – Why the decline of masculinity collides with this moment in history [37:13] – Larry on feeling spiritually ready but not practically prepared [44:05] – What Covid revealed about government control, framed carefully as speculation [48:39] – Why building a bunker is the wrong first step [50:34] – The five marks of manhood: strength, courage, skill, honor, and allegiance [51:34] – Monthly challenges, from cold showers to learning vehicle maintenance [54:20] – The spiritual anchor and connecting relationally to Jesus [56:56] – Knowing Jesus as a person, not just checking the church and Bible boxes [1:03:44] – Larry's hike through Garden of the Gods and the decision that brought him peace   5 Key Takeaways Watch the Season, Not the Date — The instruction was never to predict the day, but to recognize the season and be ready. Don points to several signs converging at once as reason to pay attention rather than panic. Loneliness Is a Crisis, and Community Is the Answer — Most men believe they have to figure life out alone, and the isolation is at an all time high. Real brotherhood is what helps men survive hardship and become better husbands and fathers. Don't Build a Bunker, Build a Community — The prepper instinct is individualistic, but the biblical model is to love your neighbor as yourself. The right next step is building strong community that can support each other through any storm. Grow Real Skills as a Man — Strength, courage, skill, honor, and allegiance are traits you develop over a lifetime. Practical challenges like cold showers or basic vehicle maintenance build the grit and capability most modern men have lost. Know Jesus as a Person — Faith isn't just going to church, reading the Bible, and praying as a checklist. It's a relationship built through conversation, listening, and shared experience, the same way you'd cultivate connection with a spouse.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1523 Manhood Tribes on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ManhoodTribes Roommates to Soulmates (cohort 3, starts September 16, free preview calls September 8 and 9): https://thedadedge.com/soulmates Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals (November 15, Cardinals vs Rams, State Farm Stadium): https://thedadedge.com/nfl The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood by Larry Hagner: https://thedadedge.com   Enjoyed This Episode?

Can we really know that Jesus rose from the dead—or are Christians limited to saying the resurrection is merely the best explanation of the evidence? ⁨ @philbair  joins us to discuss his new book, The Knowable Resurrection: The Epistemic Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Phil argues that the resurrection can be defended with a specific kind of rational certainty through a trilogy of epistemic arguments—an approach that differs from both traditional historical cumulative cases and the Minimal Facts approach. In this episode, we unpack what it actually means to know something, why the disciples being convinced that Jesus rose matters only if they were in a position to know whether He rose from the dead, and whether skeptical appeals to some undiscovered alternative explanation should carry any real weight. We also discuss skeptical methodology, naturalistic assumptions about miracles, whether Phil's argument requires libertarian free will, whether his approach ultimately reduces to probability, and whether the same methodology could be used to defend competing religious claims.

In this message from our series The Gospels, we journey through the Book of Luke and discover a Savior whose heart is full of compassion, grace, and hope. Luke gives us some of the most beautiful pictures of Jesus in Scripture—a Savior who welcomes the outsider, seeks the lost, heals the broken, forgives the sinner, and brings good news to those who desperately need it. From the Good Samaritan to the Prodigal Son, Luke reminds us that no one is too far away to experience the love and grace of God. Wherever you find yourself today, Jesus sees you, Jesus welcomes you, and Jesus is still calling you closer. The Gospels See Jesus. Know Jesus. Follow Jesus.

What does the Gospel of Mark teach us about following Jesus? In this message from our series The Gospels, we journey through the Book of Mark and discover Jesus as the One who moves with compassion, authority, and purpose. Mark shows us a Savior who calms storms, heals the broken, reaches the overlooked, and calls ordinary people to follow Him. The story of Mark reminds us that Jesus is not distant or uninvolved. He meets us in the middle of our storms, responds to our needs, and invites us to trust Him as we follow where He leads. As we begin a new school year, this message is also a reminder that the same Jesus who walked with His disciples walks with us today. Whatever season we are entering, we don't enter it alone. The Gospels See Jesus. Know Jesus. Follow Jesus.

When you know Christ, it changes how you live. In week 2 of our Jesus Over Everything series, we look at Colossians 1:9–14 and how staying close to Jesus shapes our choices, gives us strength, and produces fruit in our lives. Following Jesus isn't about trying harder—it's about knowing Him more and trusting the One who saved us to sustain us.

300th Celebration is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. 300 Episodes. One Mission. One Faithful God. It’s hard to believe… What started as a simple conversation around God’s Word has now become 300 episodes of asking honest questions, opening the Bible, and growing together in our relationship with Jesus. This milestone is even more special because Episode 300 was recorded LIVE in Honduras! Throughout this episode, Bill, Bob, and Pete look back on the journey, share stories that have never been told, reflect on the lessons God has taught them, read incredible listener testimonies, answer rapid-fire questions, and look ahead to what God may have in store for the future. But the greatest celebration isn’t reaching 300 episodes. It’s seeing what God has done through His Word. We’ve heard from listeners who rediscovered the joy of studying Scripture, pastors who became more intentional disciple-makers, families who began meaningful conversations around the dinner table, and people who moved from simply following religious traditions to walking in a genuine relationship with Christ. To everyone who has listened, watched, prayed, shared an episode, or encouraged someone else to join the conversation… Thank you. You are part of this ministry, and we’re grateful to have you on this journey with us. As we celebrate Episode 300, our prayer remains the same as it was on Episode 1: Know Jesus. Love His Word. Live It.

We begin our new sermon series, The Gospels, by exploring the Book of Matthew and discovering what it means to move from believing God can to confidently trusting God will. Matthew introduces us to Jesus as the promised King and Messiah, revealing God's faithfulness through every promise He has made. This message will challenge and encourage you to grow beyond believing in God's ability and into a deeper confidence in His willingness to work in your life according to His perfect plan. Whether you're facing uncertainty, waiting on God, or simply longing to know Jesus more, this message will strengthen your faith and remind you that God's promises never fail. See Jesus. Know Jesus. Follow Jesus.

Why Seeing Jesus Through the Eyes of an Entrepreneur Could Change Your Life, Business, and Calling This expanded feature article is designed for publication, distribution, teaching, and discussion within the Jesus Entrepreneur Collective. It explores one of the central ideas of the episode: many people know Jesus as a religious figure but have never seriously considered Him as an extraordinary communicator, leader, craftsman, entrepreneur, and builder of people. A Remark Worth Remembering During a business presentation, a young businessman approached Stan Hustad and said, 'I didn't know Jesus was that smart.' What sounded awkward became a profound insight. Many people separate faith from the marketplace. This episode invites us to reconnect them. Rediscovering Jesus Throughout the program Stan argues that Jesus understood people, stories, leadership, influence, timing, service, courage, reputation, and purpose. These are not merely religious ideas; they are the foundations of flourishing organizations and meaningful lives. The Hidden Eighteen Years One of the most thought-provoking themes is Jesus' long period as a working craftsman before His public ministry. Those years remind us that ordinary work can become preparation for extraordinary influence. Why a Collective? A collective is more than an organization. It is a community of people united around a shared mission, encouraging one another while contributing their own gifts. Stan suggests that this reflects the way Jesus gathered people. A Marketplace for the Twenty-First Century The conversation reaches into today's world of AI, entrepreneurship, media, technology, and rapid change. The question is not whether technology matters, but whether timeless wisdom still has something essential to say. The program answers with a confident yes. From Success to Significance The closing challenge asks listeners to think beyond paying the bills. What if our greatest regret would not be failure, but unused opportunity? The invitation is to become the kind of entrepreneur who builds people as well as businesses. Memorable Quotations "I didn't know Jesus was that smart." "Great movements begin as communities before they become organizations." "Don't merely make a living. Build a life that outlives you." "The greatest venture you will ever build is your own life." Things to Remember Jesus belongs in Monday's marketplace as much as Sunday's worship. Leadership begins with serving people. Community multiplies influence. Purpose gives success lasting meaning. Things to Share Discuss the question: 'Was Jesus the greatest entrepreneur in history?' Share this episode with business owners, students, pastors, and leaders. Start conversations about integrating faith, work, and innovation. Personal Action Challenge For the next seven days, identify one teaching of Jesus that can be intentionally practiced in your work, leadership, or relationships. Keep a journal of what changes. Invitation The Jesus Entrepreneur Collective exists to help thoughtful men and women discover timeless principles for today's marketplace. Stan Hustad invites listeners to join the conversation, grow together, and become builders of organizations, communities, and lives that reflect wisdom, courage, service, and hope.

The battle against sexual sin isn't just about willpower—it's about surrendering humbly to God's transformating grace. In this episode, Mike interviews Josh Rowand from Pure Life Ministries about the realities of sexual sin, the importance of honest confession, and the transformative power of the gospel in overcoming addiction. They explore practical steps for men and women struggling with lust and how the church can better support those in need.

This is an important lesson for everyone.  The name Jesus is not a name to be cursed.  It is not a name to be used in jest.  It is not a name to be used casually.  It is not a name to be used to make a profit with, and it is not a name to be rejected.   The name Jesus is a name to be worshipped.  It is the name of the Son of the Almighty God.  It is the name of my Lord and Savior.  It is the name that all men, all demons, and all powers, are subject to, and will bow down to.  There is power in the name of Jesus, soul saving, demon conquering, life transforming power, in the name of Jesus. Yet, so many people reject Jesus as the Son of God, and all of the work that He has done to bring salvation to a dark world mired in sin.  It is important to see the significance of this failure to believe that Jesus is the Christ.  The Bible tells us that “he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”  It is the rejection of Jesus Christ as your Savior that will determine where you spend eternity.  In heaven with Him, or in Hell without Him.  Not good works versus bad works, not how much money you give, not how eloquent you speech is.  None of that will decide your eternal fate.  The Bible says, “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord Jesus shall be saved.” In our lesson today, Paul's focus was to bring the people of the region to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.  The Holy Spirit would do mighty works through Paul, making this one of his most effective ministries.  Millions of people would hear the Word of God as the gospel message radiated out from Ephesus like the spokes of a wheel.  Churches would be founded in the region around Ephesus, and people would come to know the Lord Jesus as their personal Savior.   Click on the link below to hear a message on how you can know Jesus, the Son of the Living God.   This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS.

Is Jesus really who He says He is?The crowd in John 7 thought they had Jesus figured out. They knew where He was from. They had their assumptions. Their opinions. Their arguments.But knowing about Jesus isn't the same as knowing Him.The greatest obstacle to faith isn't always a lack of information—it can be the confidence that we've already made up our minds. Jesus invites us to move beyond assumptions and encounter Him for who He truly is.The question isn't whether you've heard of Jesus.The question is: Do you know Him?

What does it mean to know Jesus? How is knowing Jesus different from knowing about Jesus?

In this sermon, Pastor Aaron preaches this main point: Those who know Jesus truly, will experience the Spirit's power completely.

Guest: Joel Bryan | Host: Bob Moffitt. Bob says, "Young people are interested in life for what it can give them. What can I get out of life? How can I take advantage of the world? It seems that your focus is 'how can I help others?' We gain the most when we give the most. How much we grow, how much we're able to flourish depends not on self-seeking, but on asking the question, "How can I help others grow the most?" When we're able to do that, we flourish." And that's exactly what Joel Bryan, 24, is doing. Joel says, "I see the people around me. I think, 'How can I help these people to know Jesus more and love him more?'" Joel asks the question, "Who are the people around you who you see and you know, and how can you walk alongside them and be a guide to them, and they can be a guide to you?" Joel remarks, "Of all the different ways I spend my time, it's the things that have Jesus in the center that brings me the most joy, fulfillment, peace and contentment. Look around, pray, and ask, 'God, what do I have that you've given me that I can offer to someone else to be an encouragement and an example?'"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pastor Rod explains how to know Jesus.

Pastor Randy Bradley

In today's lesson, the apostle Paul tells us how we can know Jesus as God.  Many people know about God, and they may know a little about Jesus, but they do not know Jesus as God. Others, know a great deal about man-made gods, but they do not know the Creator, the true and living God, nor do they know Jesus as God.   They do not know the gospel message of the birth, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  They do not know that Jesus Christ has provided them with the very thing they need most of all, a perfect, completed salvation, which is given only by the grace of God.   They do not know that Jesus is the Christ, the promised Messiah, whom the whole creation is groaning for, waiting for, and looking for.  This is what today's lesson is about.  Bringing the gospel message to a world that does not know Jesus as God.   Paul's sermon takes place in Athens, which was the university city of the world.  Art, literature, philosophy, religion, mathematics, science, and democracy were all the stuff that Athens was made of.  When you think of the liberal theology and philosophy that exists in our universities today, this is what the entire city of Athens was like.  It was a place where the absolute truths of God's Word had been replaced with the absolute chaos of man's basest desires being met at his own whim.  For all its knowledge, Greek civilization was spiritually bankrupt.   God's Word tells us that Jesus came to reveal to men the true God, and Paul had come to Athens to proclaim Him.  Paul wanted to tell them about Jesus as God.  Paul knew Him as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, as the rock of ages, the Shepherd of Israel, and the fountain of living water.  He knew Him to be the incarnate Word, God manifest in flesh, Jesus Christ the Lord.   Click on the link below to hear a message on how you can know Jesus as God.

This 5/24/26 sermon by Michael Gowens is #24 in the Philippian series. It is based on Phi. 3:7-10. Paul's language reveals his personal passion and ambition. Gowens elaborates on the impropriety of ambition if it is self-centered and self-promoting, but argues that when a deeper knowledge of Christ and conformity to Him is the goal, it is not only a proper, but essential personal trait.

What happens to those who never hear the Gospel preached? Are they doomed to Hell since we know Jesus is the only way to eternal life? Let's consider what we know about God and what the Bible tells us as we seek the answer to this week's question.

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.

Shane and Pastor Nate are back for Episode 2 of the LF Podcast as they dive into one of the most important questions we can ask: What is the Gospel? In this conversation, they unpack the life-changing truth of God's Word and explore what the Gospel truly means—not just as information to know, but as the foundation for our lives and faith. Through practical discussion and biblical truth, they encourage listeners to understand the message of Jesus and how it transforms the way we live, love, and share our faith with others.Join us as we continue exploring God's Word, hearing stories from our church family, and discussing topics that help us as we strive to Know Jesus and Make Jesus Known.

Did you know that Jesus prays for you?   In today's Gospel, Jesus says:   “I pray for them.” (John 17)   What an incredible truth: ✝️ Jesus intercedes for you ✝️ Jesus brings your needs to the Father ✝️ Jesus knows your struggles and your heart   You are not alone.   In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reminds us of the beauty of prayer, Holy Mass, and uniting our intentions with Christ.   Sometimes hearing someone say: ❤️ “I prayed for you today” can change everything.   But even greater than that:   Jesus Himself is praying for you.   Today, bring your intentions to Him and remember: you are deeply loved and never forgotten.   Come Holy Spirit.   #RiseUp #Catholic #Prayer #Faith #Jesus #Hope #HolySpirit

5th Sunday of Easter In this homily for the month of May, we reflect on Mary as the one who leads us closer to her Son, Jesus Christ—the Way, the Truth, and the Life. As spring brings new life and beauty to the world around us, we are invited to let this season become a spiritual springtime for our own faith by asking a deeper question: "How well do I really know Jesus?" Through prayer, Scripture, the Rosary, meaningful conversation, and the help of Mary and the saints, we learn that growing in faith is not just about knowing facts about Jesus, but truly spending time with Him as a friend. Mary, who knows Jesus better than anyone, gently guides us to love Him more and to encounter Him more personally in our daily lives.

Sin is serious business. It comes with great consequences and the one being the worst is separation from God for eternity. Praise God, if we know Jesus, we have an advocate with the Father! Someone like a lawyer who pleads our case before God and says, “They are not guilty because they know me.” But that's just it...do you KNOW Jesus? No really? Do you KNOW Jesus? Do you have an intimate relationship with him? Or do you continue to practice sin? Paul tells the church at Corinth that this man who is sleeping with his stepmom has to be disfellowshipped and put back into the world where Satan is his god. He does not belong in the body of Christ! It is strong language and we dive in deep in these podcasts!

There's one question that ultimately defines everything about your life and your eternity: Who is Jesus to you In Luke 7, two people sit in the same room with Jesus. One is religious, informed, and outwardly put together. The other is broken, desperate, and fully aware of her need. One walks away unchanged. The other leaves forgiven and full of love. This message exposes the difference between knowing about Jesus and truly knowing Him, and why that difference changes everything.- Why an intellectual or religious belief in Jesus is not enough- How real love for Jesus is revealed through worship and daily life- What actually produces a deep, personal love for ChristKey Scriptures:Luke 7:36–50Luke 12:51Matthew 10:34Philippians 3:8–10Take a moment to honestly answer the question this message asks. Is your relationship with Jesus personal, or has it become distant and routine? Ask God to deepen your love for Him and open your eyes to who He truly is. Share this message with someone who needs to wrestle with that same question.Bayou City Fellowship Tomball Campus | George Terry | May 3, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship

Seasons of uncertainty can feel paralyzing, but John writes to move believers from not knowing to knowing, from uncertainty to assurance. His desire is that we would be confident in our salvation and the finished work of Jesus. If we get Jesus right, we can walk free and confident in Him. John makes it clear that talk is cheap. It's not just about what we say, but how we live. If we truly know Jesus, not just know about Him but know Him by experience, there will be a desire to follow His commands. We won't be perfect, but there will be conviction and a consistent pursuit of obedience. The assurance of our salvation is not based on how good we are but on a life that shows evidence. If we know Him, it will affect how we walk, how we love others, and how we respond to the world. There will be fruit. There will be growth. There will be a tension with sin, not a submission to it. The question is simple: do you know that you know Him? Are you growing, pursuing Him, and loving like He loves?

There's a powerful truth we can't afford to miss: salvation is not something we earn—it is completely the result of God's mercy.In Romans 9:16–18, we're reminded that God's mercy is not based on our effort, our goodness, or our striving… it is His alone to give. Even in the midst of human rebellion, God is never at a loss. He is sovereign, just, and full of mercy.But don't mistake God's patience for permission. His mercy is an invitation—not to continue in sin, but to turn to Him.So how do we experience that mercy?• Walk in humility • Ask God for mercy • Know JesusWhen we truly understand the depth of His mercy, it changes how we live. It humbles us, draws us closer to Him, and leads us to live in awe of what He has done for us.Let's be a people who don't just talk about mercy—but who live in it daily.
