Podcasts about pastor jack

This week's episode begins with a discussion about Welcome to Wrexham that jumps to politics more broadly. We then play some listener voicemails about topics like gym saunas, football, and how Christians navigate the grieving process. We play a TikTok about how boring heaven will be, and then hear from another caller about how to deal with Elon Musk's wealth. We play a snippet of a conversation between Bill Maher and Joel Edgerton, and then conclude with another segment of "Pastor Jack's Off."

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that when the Bible calls Jesus the Son of God, it means He is fully God, equal with the Father. And it's at His name, and His name alone, that every knee will one day bow and confess that He is Lord.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus is over all things, holding the whole creation together by the power of His word. The same Lord who named the stars and orchestrates the heavens is the One who governs every moment of our lives.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus existed before all things, before the universe, even before the spiritual realm. The Bible calls Jesus the Word who was with God and who was God, the eternal "I am" with no beginning and no end.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the discipline of duty means doing the will of God, even though the rough times. Following Jesus isn't always easy, but it's always worth it. God has challenged each of us to do great things for His kingdom while we still have the freedom and the opportunity to do so.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that knowing God's will naturally leads to desiring God's will. When the Holy Spirit is at work in our lives, we find ourselves wanting what God wants and embracing a more excellent way.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the discipline of duty starts with knowing God's will. We can't serve effectively until we understand God's specific plan for our lives. When we seek Him through His Word and prayer, He promises to instruct us and teach us in the way we should go.

As summer brings a change of pace, it also gives us an opportunity to recover something many Christians have lost—the biblical rhythm of rest. In this episode of the Pastoral Thoughts Podcast, Pastor Jack Young and Pastor Jon Mager discuss the biblical principle of the Sabbath and what it looks like to practice intentional rest in a world that celebrates constant activity.Drawing from Scripture and Pastor Jack's recent article on Summer Sabbaths, they explore why God designed rest as a gift rather than a burden, how Jesus modeled healthy rhythms of ministry, and why slowing down can actually make us more effective in serving the Lord. They also discuss practical ways pastors, ministry leaders, and busy families can build times of refreshment into their lives without becoming lazy or neglecting their responsibilities.Whether you're feeling spiritually drained, physically exhausted, or simply looking to establish healthier rhythms, this conversation offers biblical encouragement and practical ideas for finding renewal in Christ.In this episode you'll discover:The difference between biblical rest and laziness.Why God built Sabbath principles into creation.How rest strengthens rather than weakens ministry.Practical ways to schedule "summer sabbaths" for yourself and your family.How seasons of rest prepare us for greater faithfulness in the work God has called us to do."Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that durability means drawing closer to God, especially during hard and dangerous times. Trouble is not a reason to quit. A strong believer follows Christ, not just in word, but in actions as well.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that we need to resist false doctrine and fight against evil in our world. As believers, we can't just be spectators while darkness advances around us. Instead, we're called to stand firm on God's Word, even when it's hard or unpopular.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we must consider what's at stake. Our faith in Jesus Christ is the most valuable thing we have, and everything else in life depends on it. When we understand the eternal significance of staying faithful, it changes how we approach every challenge.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that doubt must be overcome, and it can be overcome through faith and God's Word. It's the only weapon strong enough to defeat doubt. Daily devotional time with the Lord not only pushes any doubt we have away, it deepens our trust, and keeps us growing spiritually.

We kick off this episode with a discussion of how much better Entourage is than The OC. We then talk about a video highlighting Spotify's most streamed songs of the last 66 years (some real surprises on there). We play a few voicemails—one about unknowing (which leads to a broader conversation about epistemology), another about whether we used to have those "preacher voices" when we were pastors, and another about the World Cup. We wrap up with a very brief edition of "Pastor Jack's Off."

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: The world calls marriage a contract. The Word calls marriage a covenant. In Genesis 2, God gives Adam his ezer, and in Ephesians 5, Christ gives himself for his bride. This week Pastor Jack teaches on why covenant, not contract, is the path to real, joyful marriage. ABOUT THE HEIGHTS CHURCH: We are a church making disciples of Jesus for the renewal of Denver.

In today's message, Pastor Jack teaches us how to break the power of lack—whether in our finances, relationships, confidence, or peace—by aligning our minds and words with God's Word instead of speaking defeat or focusing on negative circumstances. He emphasizes that the fear of the Lord is not about being afraid of God, but rather having a heart of reverence, awe, and honor that leads us to practice His Word. Pointing to scripture, Pastor Jack reminds us that death and life are in the power of the tongue, and that we must use our faith-filled words to bind negative forces, command evil to let go of our blessings, and boldly claim God's promises of increase and complete fulfillment. He encourages us to stand strong, take responsibility for bringing Christ's influence to our communities and nations, and contest any space the enemy tries to steal in our lives. Ultimately, Pastor Jack calls us to a deep, wholehearted commitment to Christ, urging us to believe we receive what God has promised so that we can walk in total freedom and break the spirit of lack once and for all.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that doubt must be defeated at all costs. Doubt robs our spirit, destroys our hope, and kills our future by blinding us to what God is doing in our lives. Like a spiritual infection, doubt can poison our entire walk with Christ.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that doubt must be confronted head on. We can't ignore it, we can't pretend it's not there. Doubt is a killer that will systematically destroy our faith. It's why we have to face it and fight it with everything we have.

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to overcome what he calls a "lack attack"—which can manifest as depression, sorrow, bitterness, physical disease, or financial hardship—by using our faith to completely finish what we start. Drawing from Zechariah 4 and Haggai 1, Pastor Jack reminds us that what we begin in faith must be carried through to the end so that lack does not return and steal our blessings. He cautions us against letting our five physical senses or life's worries diminish our faith, calling us instead to rely on our spiritual senses, magnify the Lord, and actively rekindle our "first love" for God through continuous prayer, worship, and sowing seeds in our relationships and daily lives. Ultimately, Pastor Jack highlights that as we stay steadfast in faith and do not give up, we will drive out lack and step into the rest, healing, and restoration God has promised us.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that being dominated by Christ brings power, joy, and love we could never find on our own. When we hand Jesus the key to every room of our lives, we finally start living for others, just like He did.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we need the Holy Spirit more than ever in these last days. When we ask God to fill us and lead us, He answers, and the real us comes under His loving control.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the discipline of domination begins with refusing to let our flesh run the show. When our feelings, our eyes, or our pride start calling the shots, we have to surrender it all to God instead.

In today's message, Pastor Jack shares that God is actively searching the earth for our faith so He can release His power and miracles in our lives. Using the illustration of an emergency beacon, Pastor Jack explains that when we activate our faith, it signals God to move on our behalf, reminding us that He cares about every detail of our lives, both big and small. The central key to experiencing breakthroughs is training ourselves to align our words directly with God's Word and His will. When we discipline our speech to match Scripture rather than focusing on our weaknesses or inadequacies, our words carry divine authority, enabling us to overcome trials, receive healing, and step into the abundant, triumphant life God has chosen for us. As true worshipers who speak and act in agreement with God, we can confidently stand on His promises and watch Him perform the miraculous in our families, health, and daily lives.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that resisting distraction takes a preoccupation with the things of God. When we seek His kingdom first and stay vigilant, even the good things in our lives won't crowd out our walk with the Lord.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we conquer distraction by building a daily devotional life with God. When we make time for Him before the world starts screaming at us, we find a calm and a strength that everyone around us will notice.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the first step is to identify what tugs at us. When we honestly name the worries and the urgent things pulling us away, we can start to see how often we're like Martha, troubled about many things.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that real success isn't wealth or achievement, but a life fully sold out to the kingdom of God. When we let the Lord put a handle on our back, He can pick us up and use everything we have for His glory.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that recognition and fame can be a dangerous gift if we forget where it comes from. We were lost sinners saved by grace, and there's only One who deserves the glory — and that's Jesus.

This episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors begins with a bit of World Cup and Lakers banter (you can guess who brought up which), after which we listen to another voicemail about the topic of mythicism. We discuss the consistency of Christianity and simulation theory, and then discuss the baggy-clothes trend that has returned (although these kids probably think they invented it). We talk about Musk being the world's first trillionaire and the fallout from comedian Nate Bargatze's appearance at Trump's birthday event at the White House. We end with some remarks about GLP1s and another edition of "Pastor Jack's Off."

Pastor Jack kicks off our There Goes That Man series with "What Are You Looking For?" ENCOUNTERING JESUS Motivation: "What do you want?" Location: "Where are you staying?" Realization: "How do you know me?"

Today, in this special message Pastor Jack teaches that the same God who gave us life gave us liberty, and that the greatest freedom of all is a soul set free by Jesus Christ. It is a freedom so rich, and so complete, that it simply has to be shared.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that whatever we hold in our hands belongs to God, whether it's a dollar or a fortune. True distinction isn't gathering blessings for ourselves, but becoming a conduit God can use to reach others for Christ.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that disillusionment can turn into regret and regret left unchecked becomes bitterness that poisons everything. But forgiveness sets us free, not for the other person, but for us.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that confusion can grow into doubt, and doubt makes us hesitate when God says go. But receiving His Word into our hearts builds a faith that overcomes the world.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that disillusionment deceives us by breeding confusion, and confusion always brings fear close behind. So, when we begin to doubt what we know is true, we need to run back to God's Word, because that's always our rescue.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that godliness is formed in us through redemption, and salvation through Christ. So, when challenges, weakness, or disease comes, the Lord's grace is sufficient, and others will see the Gospel displayed in our lives.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that in a moment of suffering, our lives can change for the better. For the Christ follower, things that feel bad or look bad are just the very things that can turn things around for us.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that everyone suffers in life, but for the believer, we suffer with a purpose. Even something painful like disease can be used by God to build our character, strengthen our faith, or to impact others through our testimony.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the discipline of disdain is to show compassion instead of hate. People who criticize our faith often don't understand what they're doing, and we need to care about them and pray for them.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we don't handle rejection well on our own. We need God's spirit to respond the right way. So, being mocked for our faith is actually a good sign. It means we're doing it right, spiritually.

We kick off this episode of DXP hearing about Christian's first ever in-person World Cup game. We jump from there to the trend where tourists from all over the world are freaking out about how amazing they think America is. We play a couple of voicemails from listeners asking questions about last week's discussion of mythicism and then conclude by making fun of Pastor Jack-off's belief in the rapture.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that our natural reaction is to fight back when we're treated with disdain, but that can lead to further trouble. Instead, we're to remain calm, think before we speak, and let God handle it.

1 Peter 3:15 The post Happening Now with Pastor Jack and Ruslan KD appeared first on Calvary Chapel Chino Hills.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that true contentment comes from trusting in God's plan for our lives, and by being thankful right now and not waiting until things improve. When our focus is on the Lord, discontentment loses its power.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that contentment is something we learn. We don't naturally become content, we practice it by reading God's Word and applying it to our lives, and through choosing gratitude over complaining.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that discontentment doesn't stay small. It grows into complaining, bitterness and sadly, a lack of gratitude. But, at its core, discontentment shows a lack of trust in God and knowing that He wants what's best for us.
