Mike Slater examines the stark contrast between worldly justice systems—often flawed by human bias, political agendas, and incomplete accountability—and God's perfect, eternal judgment that weighs the heart and ultimate truth. Drawing from biblical principles and current events, the discussion highlights how earthly courts and policies can fail to deliver true righteousness, leaving believers anxious amid injustice, while divine judgment promises impartiality, mercy for the repentant, and accountability for all. Listeners are encouraged to find peace not in relying on fallible human institutions, but in trusting God's sovereign authority over every ruler, law, and outcome. This is part one of two.

It starts by intentionally seeking God's Kingdom first and His righteousness, desiring Kingdom instruction to guide your daily life. Once we receive the instruction, we must embrace it by choosing habits and patterns that reinforce the truth God revealed–letting go of the old way, not nursing and rehearsing the past, but nurturing and cultivating God's vision for your future. This happens little by little, consistent baby steps forward. Do not despise small beginnings–it's less about achieving the goal itself and more about who you are becoming in the process. God doesn't want you to just be inspired. He doesn't want you to operate in your own strength. His desire is for you to be transformed into His very likeness. Join Rabbi and Pastor Michael as they discuss the importance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a significant date that falls in Shevat; the power of aligning with a Kingdom-minded community; and the transformation that comes when we encounter the Father-heart of God.

The Underground Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: Luke 12:35-46 Episode Summary Recorded on a Saturday night before a predicted winter storm, Pastor Michael addresses a week in which church protestors made headlines. Using a creative allegory read by his 15-year-old son Elijah, he reminds us that the Jesus Movement has always been underground - not about hiding, but about unshakeable loyalty to a different Kingdom while living as infiltrators on a rescue mission in enemy territory. Key Points – The Church isn't the establishment - we're the resistance on a rescue mission, not another cog in a political machine – Jesus left behind faithful followers to spread His teachings until His return, knowing they'd face opposition from the world's power structures – The danger isn't persecution - it's forgetting our purpose and getting distracted by culture wars, preferences, and complacency – When churches stop being a movement and become a club for member comfort, they drift from their mission – Our weapons aren't political or violent but spiritual - we win people to Jesus, not just culture wars – Jesus will return unannounced, and we must be found faithful, watching, and actively sharing the Good News Main Takeaway We aren't the establishment - we are the resistance on a rescue mission. The Jesus Movement has always been underground, made up of people with courage to live by different values and refuse to be reshaped by the dominant culture. Our calling isn't to make unbelievers act like believers through politics, but to show them the transforming love of Jesus. We're not-so-secret agents planted by the True King, and we must stay faithful to that mission. Memorable Quotes – "We aren't the establishment - we are the resistance, and we're on a rescue mission." – "An underground movement isn't about hiding - it's about unshakeable loyalty." – "They were obsessed with how dark the world was, instead of sharing the light. They were so caught up in guarding doors, they forgot they were supposed to open them." – "Our ultimate purpose isn't to win culture wars - it's to win people to Jesus." – "We are not the ruling power - we never have been. We are The Underground." – "We need to do more than trying to get unbelievers to act like believers. We need to show them the love and peace and transformation of Jesus." Reflection Question Have you forgotten that you're part of an underground movement on a rescue mission, getting distracted instead by culture wars, preferences, or the comfort of Christian community rather than actively sharing Jesus with people who need Him? Tune in to hear the powerful allegory of The Great and Powerful King read by Pastor Michael's son Elijah, why his dog is wreaking havoc on his allergies, and what Jesus' shocking language about servants being cut in pieces really means for us today.

God continues to speak to us, guide us, and encourage us today through the Holy Spirit. We just need to be willing to receive and listen.
This is a conversation Matt & Pastor Michael had almost 4 years ago. It dealt with a video that was being shared at the time of Stephen Colbert apparently sharing his faith on his late night show. You be the judge of what exactly he accomplished in his sharing. Want more Restless? There is years of backlog episodes like this behind the patreon pay wall.

Acts Series Message: 18 Episode: 3 of 3 Broadcast: January 21, 2026 Key Verses: Acts 9:19-31 In this episode of Walk in Truth, Pastor Michael Lantz teaches through Acts 9:19–31 in a message titled "Preparing Paul," exploring the often-overlooked season of growth, testing, and preparation in the life of the Apostle Paul after his dramatic conversion.

Family Resemblance Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: 1 John 3:8-9 Episode Summary In Part 9 of the 1 John series, Pastor Michael returns from the holiday break to talk about family resemblance - not just physical traits, but spiritual patterns. Using hilarious stories about his wife's seven sisters and a bee-in-the-jorts incident, he tackles a challenging passage about whether our life patterns show we belong to God's family or the devil's family. This isn't about perfection - it's about patterns. Key Points – John isn't asking "Have you ever sinned?" but "What does the pattern of your life say about what spiritual family you belong to?" – Jesus came not only to save us from sin's penalty but also from sin's power - He's the Chainbreaker who disrupts destructive patterns – A saved person can fall into sin, but they can't remain comfortable there - being in sin will make a child of God deeply unhappy – The difference between the two families is stumbling into sin versus settling into sin – Some family patterns are destructive and need to be broken: "It may run in the family, but it runs out with me!" – Anyone can claim to be a Christian, but true believers show a family resemblance to Jesus in their life patterns Main Takeaway If God is your Papa, it changes your pattern. This passage isn't about perfection - it's about patterns. A fish can jump out of water, but it can't be happy on land for long. Similarly, a true follower of Jesus can fall into sin, but they can't remain there comfortably. When we mess up, we don't run away from God - we run TO Him. Spiritual family resemblance matters far more than whose nose you got, because eternity is at stake. Memorable Quotes – "If God is your Papa, it changes your pattern." – "It may run in the family, but it runs out with me!" – "God is not looking to bust you as soon as you mess up. It's the opposite - He wants to rescue you, so messing up doesn't become your pattern." – "Jesus doesn't just forgive your past; He disrupts your patterns." – "If you are one of God's kids, being in sin will make you VERY unhappy." – "It's the difference between stumbling into sin and settling into sin." – "Don't let fake Jesus people stop you from connecting with the real Jesus." Reflection Question What patterns in your life reveal your spiritual family resemblance? Are there destructive family patterns you need Jesus to help you break so they run out with you? Tune in to hear the unforgettable story of a bee flying up Michael's jorts during a phone call, why his wife's seven sisters were impossible to tell apart on a landline, and the powerful truth that struggle against sin is actually a sign of spiritual life.

The Protestant Chaos Dilemma (Day 7 - The 12 Days of Restless) We try and react to clip that online Roman Catholics were using to drag Protestants from the Caleb Hammer show. Pastor Michael was unable to because it was unintelligible to him. So we discuss if the lack of hierarchy and chaos 'inherent' to protestantism is a good reason to reject protestantism. Welcome to the 12 days of Restless where we will be releasing daily podcasts every day. We hope you enjoy day one. We also hope you will support this show on patreon.
