Today, Pastor Jack reminds us that God sees us as holy and blameless, even when we don't feel that way. The closer we get to His light, the harder it is to see past our own flaws, and shortcomings. But, God doesn't focus on our mistakes, instead, He sees something greater. He sees the work that Christ has done in our lives.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that God chose us, but He also gave us the ability to decide for ourselves what to believe. Love isn't real unless it's chosen, and it's why God desires a true relationship with us, not a programmed response, but one that comes from a willing heart.
Unity Through Humility | Philippians 2:1-4 | Jack DoneyEvery parent wants their kids to get along. Paul felt the same way about the church in Philippi. They were doing so much right, but they weren't getting along with each other, and it was keeping his joy from being complete.In this message, Pastor Jack makes the case that being part of God's story means being part of God's family. He walks through what that looks like:Unite around what matters most: the mind, love, Spirit, and mission of ChristResist what can tear us apart from the inside, including a simple test for telling selfish ambition from godly ambitionHonor others above yourself, because the only path to unity runs through humilityIf there's a relationship in your life that needs reconciling, this message will give you the push to take the first step.
Pastor Jack teaches that God is the one who calls, leads, and accomplishes His purposes for our lives, and He alone is sovereign. Long before the foundations of the world were laid, God placed us at the very top of His priority list.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the Holy Spirit doesn't just live inside us, He wants to come upon us and empower us day by day. When we ask the Lord to refresh us, He gives us exactly what we need for the moment.

What happens when we do all the right things but lose our love? In this message, Pastor Jack challenges us to return to our first love and rediscover what truly matters to God.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that God has blessed us, meaning it's already done. So, if we're just getting by, it's not because Heaven ran short. It's because we haven't tapped into all that is already ours in Christ Jesus.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that God has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ. So, why should we worry when everything we need has already been provided by the Lord who loves us, and gave His life for our salvation.
Pastor Jack teaches how to walk and live by the Spirit, why God's Word is the foundation for recognizing His leading, and the difference between the natural man and the spiritual man.
Pastor Jack teaches that God calls us saints, no matter where we live or what we've done. It's not by our own goodness, but by trusting in Christ who cleanses us, and calls us His own.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus will reign in justice, and in mercy. None of us really want what we deserve — we want His mercy, and that mercy comes only through Jesus Christ.
This episode of DXP begins with a discussion about bohemian living as opposed to taking a more traditional approach and the pros and cons of each. We discuss the recent dust-up over Macklemore's supposed antisemitism, and then we turn our attention to Islamic terror attacks and whether it's really true that it is indeed the most violent of the world's major religions. We talk at length about a recent TikTok discussing the top 100 films and how that list evolves over time, and we conclude with another segment of "Pastor Jack's Off" in which Jack Hibbs insists that we are all miserable selfish wretches who hate Jesus and others.

Pastor Jack shares what truly happens when you are born again. Discover how salvation transfers you from darkness into God's Kingdom, makes you a new creation in Christ, and gives you access to the God-kind of life.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus will reign in righteousness — He'll simply do the right thing, every time. And the wonderful part is, when we follow God's Word today, He blesses us so much that people around us start asking why.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Christ will return at a time of great unbelief, when religion is popular, but hearts are far from Him. For the Christ follower, however, this is not a day to fear, since we will be coming again with Jesus Himself.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the second coming must be compared to His first coming, a real, physical arrival to this earth. Just as the disciples watched Jesus rise from the Mount of Olives, that same Jesus will bodily return, and every eye will see Him.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Israel is God's appointed timepiece, and everything is unfolding exactly as He said it would. When we see prophecy coming to life before our eyes, it should draw us closer to the Savior who holds the future in His hands.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the tribulation is still future, and the signs pointing toward it are all around us. But for the Christian, these events aren't cause for fear, they're a reminder that God is in control and His Word is coming true.
We kick off this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors with a discussion about Jason's elitism when it comes to accents. We reminisce about our favorite coming-of-age films, and then discuss whether there is any merit to the objections over NYC Mayor Mamdani being sworn in using a Quran instead of a Bible. We play a reel about dating from a man's perspective, and then interact with another video about the relevance of older pop music. We conclude with another segment of "Pastor Jack's Off" about godliness and the national debt.

Pastor Jack teaches the foundation of living as a spirit-led believer. He will show us the difference between the spirit, soul, and body, how renewing your mind changes the way you live, and why following the Holy Spirit will sometimes lead you beyond what is easy or comfortable.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus could come at any moment, and no prophecy needs to be fulfilled before He does. So living with that expectation changes how we walk, drawing us to holiness and away from the things of this world.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the rapture is our blessed hope, and it was promised by Jesus Himself. He told us He's gone to prepare a place for us, and that He'll come again to bring us home.
*This episode was originally released on Jan. 30, 2026*In this episode of the Pastoral Thoughts Podcast, Pastor Jack sits down with Rob Gassman for a thoughtful and Scripture-centered conversation on the relationship between Israel and the Church.Together, we explore the miracle of the Jewish people, the biblical covenants God made with Israel, and why Scripture presents Israel and the Church as distinct yet divinely connected parts of God's redemptive plan. We also address common misunderstandings surrounding replacement theology and consider the prophetic future of Israel as revealed in the Word of God.This episode is designed to help believers think biblically, carefully, and reverently about God's faithfulness to His promises—and how that faithfulness strengthens our confidence in Him today.
Pastor Jack teaches about the danger of contaminating your faith with shortcuts, outside voices, and things God never told you to bring along.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that angels reveal God and minister to believers, even escorting us into His presence at death. But that comfort belongs only to those who truly know Christ.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that angels have a mission to serve God, and they stand ready to do it. They minister to us, and they're at work in our lives even when we don't see them.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the angels were created with a passion to worship God. They never grow tired or bored, and if we're honest, they must wonder why we don't praise Him with that same joy.
This episode of DXP begins with a bit of brain fog, after which we discuss recent TV shows like Your Friends and Neighbors and The Bear. We spend the bulk of the episode discussing the Lindsay Clancy case—we play a video by a woman concerned about how the response of women to Clancy's crimes could set the feminist cause back a hundred years. We hear from Alan Watts on the topic of dreams, and then spend time addressing the accusations of "doomerism" against Greta Thunberg. We conclude with a segment of "Pastor Jack's Off."
Pastor Jack concludes our Learning to Let Go series with "That One Thing". Surrender: The willing release of my drive to control my life, entrusting myself to the love, wisdom, and leadership of Jesus. What are you holding on to? What would I struggle to give Jesus if he asked for it? We don't surrender because everything we're holding is bad. We surrender because nothing is better than Jesus and all he offers. —— If you want to support what God is doing through Cityline, click here: https://www.citylineonline.churchcenter.com/giving Want to learn more about Cityline and how to get involved?

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus made the ultimate commitment for His church, paying a debt on the cross that we could never pay. He alone comforts us, guides us, and He's with us not only as we fellowship together, but every step of the way.
Today, Pastor Jack reminds us that the church is so much more than a building we gather in. But, before we can ever understand what a church is, we must first fix our eyes on the one who created it and the one who gives it life, Jesus Christ.
Today, Pastor Jack reminds us that believing in Jesus is only the beginning. We're also called to receive Him, trust in Him, and remain close to Him every day. The closer we stay to Him, the more our faith is strengthened, and the more our doubts and fears begin to fade away.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus is the only one who can truly relate to us and faithfully intercede for us. He knows our weaknesses and understands every struggle we face. He sits at the Father's right hand, He's always ready to hear from us when we come to Him in prayer.
Today, Pastor Jack reminds us that coming to Christ is far deeper than a moment, or a decision. It's realizing He is the one worthy of our trust. Real faith isn't just believing in him, it's surrendering every part of our lives to him, no matter where He leads.
Pastor Jack continues our Learning to Let Go series with "Surrender to Love". What are you afraid would happen if you completely surrendered your life to God? The two fundamental emotions we all experience are Fear and Love. Every other action and emotion grows out of these. Before asking "What do I need to surrender?" instead we have to ask; "Who am I surrendering to?" —— If you want to support what God is doing through Cityline, click here: https://www.citylineonline.churchcenter.com/giving Want to learn more about Cityline and how to get involved?

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that deep down, every heart already carries the weight of guilt, no matter how well we hide it. And when we finally come to Jesus and admit our need, that guilt is gone, and we're truly free.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that, apart from Christ, we are without hope and without a future of Heaven. His death on the cross opens the way to not only forgiveness, but a new life that only He can give.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that redemption is not only initiated, but accepted, and completed entirely by God. Jesus paid for our sins in full, so we can stop striving and simply rest in what He's already done.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that every person, in every culture, is searching for a way to be made right with God. We can't buy it, work for it, or hand it off to someone else, because Christ alone is our Redeemer.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that God is one in essence, yet three distinct persons. It sounds impossible, but once we see it in Scripture, it changes what we know about the God we love, and who loves us.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that rejecting Christ isn't really about the evidence at all. It's a decision made from the heart. If Christ is real, then we're accountable to Him, and that's exactly what He's calling us to embrace.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus Christ isn't just present in creation, He is the Creator of it. The Lord who made the heavens and the earth is the very same Jesus who came to redeem us, and that changes everything we were led to believe about our existence.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that creation itself testifies of God, not of evolution. From the stars in space to a single blade of grass, the design we see all around us points towards a creator behind it all.
