Thank you Dr. Bryan Loritts, another play of the day.  Thank you Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, TX, for hosting and sharing.  We both agree.  Bryan is an annointed speaker for a season such as this.  I strongly encourage you to listen to the rest of that message.  Simply click the YouTube link in the show description or search "Your God is Too Small" and Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. https://www.youtube.com/live/qg02n4VfoSM?si=Z7KAiIg7iMKBwyQKThat is such a mic drop that I'm a bit speechless.  Do you know a story like that?  If so, please let us know at FriDudes.com. On the flip side, I know people that filed for divorce for a lot, lot, less.  Heck, I've been upset with my wife of 30+ years for a lot, lot less.  As I've said countless times on this podcast, any relationship you care about, you don't have to be married to get this, any relationship you care about...will not last without grace.  Choosing to give grace, forgiveness.  Choosing to love.  For those 'IN LOVE', falling in and out of love is for rookies.  Sooner or later, you are going to have to choose to love on certain days.  Most certainly, you are going to need to choose forgiveness and grace to keep going.Back to you, that is your relationship with God.  You've cheated on God somewhere.  How do I know that?  Rom 3:23.  Yet we have this amazing gift in Rom 8:1.  Wouldn't we be the ultimate hypocrites is we didn't extend the same.  As stated before, doesn't mean you need to hug it out with that person that hurt you.  It does mean you hand over that hurt to God.  Quit carrying that hurt around like a tattoo on your face.  As for that unbelievable dude in that Play of the Day.  Think about it.  His selflessness kept a family together.  It kept a marriage together.  Most important, it added a new member to the forever kingdom.  A truly amazing story that I am already relaying.  Maybe you too.  Spread what works.Matt 22:  36-40

Message originally given April 27, 2025 at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Texas.

Evangelical pastor and radio host Tony Evans cited an unnamed "sin" as he stepped down as senior pastor at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, the latest controversy for high-profile pastors in America. Evans will be "temporarily stepping away from his senior pastor's duties," Shari L. Carroll, a spokesperson for the church, said in a Friday email to USA TODAY. On Sunday, the pastor said in a statement on the church's website that he has "committed no crime," but "did not use righteous judgment in actions." This week on Pass The Mic Pastor Tyler Burns and EP Beau York sit down to discuss the state of Mega Churches, Celebrity Pastors, Christian Influencers and ask the question 'is it time for the mega church to die'?

Two of the most well known pastors in America step down in a matter of weeks from one another as Tony Evans of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas Texas was released for his duties for a undisclosed sin. Also Robert Morris of Gateway Church stepped down after it was revealed he took advantage of a twelve year old girl back in the 1980's. We take a look at the reason that so many pastors fall victim to sexual sin and see if there is direct correlation to their doctrine and their living.

It's Friday, December 22nd, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Texas Christians purchase 7 new cars for Chinese Christian refugees Christmas cheer and an outpouring of love by Christians in Texas continue to bless the Shenzen Holy Reformed Church (also known as the Mayflower Church), reports International Christian Concern. The 63 church members left China three years ago and traveled through South Korea, Thailand, and to eventual freedom in the United States to escape persecution in China. The Mayflower families have been staying in Tyler, Texas for the last several months where they began new jobs, settled their families, and took English classes. They now head to their permanent home in Midland, Texas, around the Christmas holiday. Amazingly, the Tyler Christian community bought seven new vehicles for the Mayflower families to help on their journey. The Mayflower Church members marvel at this generosity. Other ministries which have supported their cause include China Aid, Freedom Seekers, and International Christian Concern. Prague University student killed 14, injured 25 On Thursday, a student opened fire at a university in Prague, killing at least 14 people, and injuring 25 in the Czech Republic's worst mass shooting, reports the Associated Press.  Prague Police Chief Martin Vondrasek said the bloodshed took place in the philosophy department building of Charles University where the shooter was a student. The gunman, whose name has not been released, also died. Reportedly, he also killed his father earlier in the day. The chief described the shooter as an excellent student with no criminal record. And the investigators do not suspect a link to any extremist ideology or groups. The gunman suffered “devastating injuries” but it wasn't clear if he killed himself or was shot to death in an exchange of gunfire with officers. Republican Congressman discusses depravity and blackmail Republican Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee spoke to conservative podcaster Benny Johnson on Thursday and talked about blackmail and depravity in the U.S. Congress, reports Mediaite.com. Burchett and Johnson primarily spoke about why it took so long for the client list of notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to be ordered unsealed by a federal judge. However, at one point, Burchett claimed that many “good conservatives” and other members of Congress are being entrapped and then blackmailed to vote certain ways. Listen. BURCHETT: “Why in the world would good conservatives vote for crazy stuff like what we've been seeing out of Congress? Here's how it works.  You're out of the country or out of town or you're in a motel or at a bar in DC and, whatever you're into – women or men or whatever — comes up and they're very attractive and they're laughing at your jokes, and you're buying them a drink. Next thing you know, you're in the motel room with them naked. “Next thing you know, you're about to make a key vote, and what happens? Some well-dressed person comes up and whispers in your ear, ‘Hey, man, there's tapes out on you.' Or ‘Were you in a motel room on whatever with whoever?' And then you're like, ‘Uh-oh,' and [they] said, ‘you really ought not be voting for this thing.' “What do they do? It's human nature. No man or no woman actually is an island. They know what to get at. You know, if it's women, drugs, booze, it'll find you in D.C. and in most elected offices. I've been in this game my whole life. I spent 16 years in the state legislature in Tennessee and eight years as county mayor. And now I'm in my fifth year of Congress. The stakes are higher, but the game is still the same.” Numbers 32:23 says, “Be sure your sin will find you out.” New York Democrats targeting Chick-fil-A New York Democrat lawmakers are targeting Chick-fil-A, which is closed on Sundays, with legislation that mandates restaurants located in rest stops on the state Thruway to remain open seven days a week, reports NewsMax.com. Democrat Assemblyman Tony Simone of Manhattan, who is sponsoring the anti-Chick-fil-A bill, said, "Not only does Chick-fil-A have a long, shameful history of opposing LGBTQ rights, it simply makes no sense for them to be a provider of food services in busy travel plazas. A company, that by policy, is closed on one of the busiest travel days of the week should not be the company that travelers have to rely on for food services." Chick-fil-A has had a company policy since first opening in 1946 that the restaurants would be closed on Sundays to allow operators and team members "to enjoy a day of rest, be with their families and loved ones, and worship if they choose." If you would like to politely object to Assemblyman Simone's bill, call him at 212-807-7900 or email him at simonet@nyassembly.gov Tony Evans got re-married And finally, Tony Evans, pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas, recently married Carla Crummie in a “private ceremony surrounded by family and close friends” four years after the death of his first wife, Lois Evans, reports The Christian Post. In a social media post, the church said, “As we enter the celebratory Christmas season, we also celebrate the marriage announcement of our senior Pastor and his bride, Mrs. Carla Evans.”  Proverbs 18:22 says, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” The senior pastor had revealed he was engaged to Crummie during a celebration service for his birthday at his church in September. Flanked by his four children -- Priscilla Shirer, Jonathan Evans, Anthony Evans Jr. and Crystal Evans Hurst, this is what Tony Evans said to the church in September. EVANS: “As I worked through the ups and downs of singlehood, God in His sovereignty has brought someone into my life. (applause) This someone has traveled this similar road. In fact, she, [Carla Crummie], and her husband were on their way to Lois' funeral when her husband died.” Tony Evans had been married to Lois for 49 years before she died of bile duct cancer at the end of 2019. In a 2020 interview with The Christian Post, he said in addition to “helping me through school, mothering our four children, and leading them to the Lord,” his late wife assisted him both in starting their church and The Urban Alternative, a media ministry whose radio broadcasts are today heard by millions each week on more than 1,400 radio outlets across 130 countries.

DALLAS, TX (AURN News) — Pastor Tony Evans, the renowned author and pastor, recently tied the knot with Dr. Carla Crummie in a private ceremony. The news of their union was shared with the world through a statement posted on several social media accounts affiliated with Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, the church where Pastor Evans serves.

A conversation about expectation, immediate gratification, and disappointment with Elizabeth WoodsonWORSHIP INVITES US TO BRING OUR DISAPPOINTMENTS TO GODIt saddens me to think about how much we talk about Michal, David's first wife, without ever addressing the trauma that she endured throughout her life. As the youngest daughter of King Saul, she was often used as the pawn he chose to manipulate to kill David and it is evident that she was influenced by the idolatry her father practiced.When Michal helped save David's life in 1 Samuel 19, she took a household idol to distract Saul's servants and give David time to escape. However, no one ever slowed down long enough to address the pain she had, the disappointment she was navigating, and the rebellion that had begun to hide in her heart.It's hard to imagine someone reaching for a household idol today, but it may be more common than we realize.Today, we are reflecting on some of the themes in Session Two of Selah: Worship Invites You To Repentance.TODAY WE'RE REFLECTING ON GALATIANS 3:13-14 ESVChrist redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.A WOMAN YOU SHOULD KNOWToday, Ty and I get to close out this season by featuring one woman who has impacted both of us. Winter Brooke is someone who reminds me to prioritize my time with the Lord on IG so that I don't begin to idolize the algorithm or any desire for popularity. Get connected to her because she is definitely a woman you should know.MEET ELIZABETHElizabeth Woodson is a bible teacher, writer, and speaker, who is passionate about communicating the rich theological truths of Scripture.

DALLAS, TX (AURN News) — Dr. Tony Evans, 74, the renowned pastor and author, has shared the joyous news of his engagement during a heartfelt service at the Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas. The announcement came on Sunday morning, when Dr. Evans was joined by his four children to deliver the news to his congregation. Dr. Evans, who holds the distinction of being the first Black author of a study bible and a commentary, revealed that he is now engaged to Dr. Carla Crummie, hailing from Atlanta. Dr. Crummie has been an integral part of Dr. Evans' ministry, "The Urban Alternative," serving as a Kindness Ambassador. The congregation was moved by Dr. Evans' announcement, coming nearly four years after the passing of his beloved wife, Lois, in 2019. Mrs. Evans had battled gallbladder cancer, and the couple had shared a remarkable marriage lasting 49 and a half years. During the service, Dr. Evans expressed his gratitude to his congregation for their unwavering support during the challenging times of grief. "I want to just thank so many of you who have been grievers with us and allowed us to grieve with you in some of your times. And so that's part of life, it's outside of our hands, we had to put it in the hands of sovereign God," he said. "God in His sovereignty has brought someone into my life," he added.  This announcement marks a new chapter in the life of this esteemed pastor and author, as he embarks on a journey of love and companionship with Dr. Crummie.

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tony Evans, senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, proclaims that God is not colorblind. Nor is He blinded by color. The Lord does not want the racial distinctives that He created to be the ultimate source of our identity. The answer to today's racial division? The church can model biblical reconciliation and unity through service, not seminars or soundbites. Each of us must recognize that everyone is created in God's image.

For Father's Day, Stephanie welcomes NLF chaplain and Pastor Jonathan Evans for a no-nonsense conversation about our investment as parents for the Kingdom of God. With his trademark candid and bold kindness, Jonathan shares his approach to parenting, as well as what he learned from his parents, Lois and Dr Tony Evans. We discuss fatherhood in particular, but these principles apply to all forms of parenting and for everyone who ministers to children of all ages! So, parents, grandparents, family members and all youth leaders -- this episode will inspire you, challenge you, and help you remember how eternal your investment is! Jonathan shares, “God is calling you to go further, rise higher, and achieve more in His name than you could ever imagine. But you will never get to experience all that God has for you unless you are willing to rise up out of the depths of your own disappointments, get up off the couches of your own comfort zones, and pursue His plan for this season. Now.” Beyond parenting, Jonathan shades his quest for a deeper intimacy with God. He remembers living life on “cruise control,” comfortable where he was, following in the footsteps of his well-known and respected father (Dr. Tony Evans), until one day he realized he didn't know his own role or purpose in life. Jonathan didn't wait to figure it out; he took action and pursued what God had in store for him. His book, Your Time is Now urges us to get out of the “comfort” rut and do the same. Using the Old Testament leader Joshua as a model for stepping up to God's calling, Jonathan invites us to stop living at surface level, dig deeper, and step into our callings now, no matter what obstacles stand in our way. “Now is the time for you to live out your purpose for God,” says Jonathan. “Not when you're older. Not when you've settled down. Not when you feel like you've got nothing else to do…Now is your season.” In Your Time is Now, Jonathan invites us to shift our perspectives from an outward concern about what the world thinks, to an inward focus on the only One whose opinion really matters: God. No matter the season we find ourselves in or the challenges we face, Jonathan encourages us to stand on the truth that God can and will use us and this season for His purpose, if only we intentionally and actively pursue Him. If you missed our Mother's Day episode, we invite you to check out the phenomenally inspiring convo between Molly De Frank and Stephanie about how to digitally detox your kids!

Dr. Tony Evans, the senior pastor at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas, believes "there needs to be an awakening" within the Christian church amid seething division and vitriol.The failure of the church to lead the way on conversations surrounding issues like race has, according to Evans, led to social and cultural disarray."The division is so palpable, the vitriol is so visible and, because I believe that God won't skip the church house to fix the white house, there needs to be an awakening of the church to the biblical principles of unity," Evans told "The Prodigal Stories Podcast."
