Send us Fan MailWe don't know her name.... Or her age, or anything about her, except: she was a slave - living behind enemy lines. But 1,800 years before Christ, this young girl captured the heart of Jesus before He Himself came to become a servant, and thought of others before Himself. Today, Pastor Michael dives into the intriguing story of an unknown slave - who points us directly to the heart of the King!! 

The Idols We Can't See Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: 1 John 5:21 1 John Series, Part 26 Episode Summary In the final installment of the 1 John series, Pastor Michael opens with a skit about two people who can see each other's ridiculous hats but can't see their own - because idolatry always feels like somebody else's problem. Through the very last verse of 1 John, we discover that modern idols don't come in wood or stone. They come in the form of money, success, control, affirmation, distraction, and politics - all promising to give what only Jesus can. Key Points - An idol is a good thing treated like a God thing - anything we depend on to give us what only Jesus can provide - We rarely reject God openly; we reshape Him into something we can manage - just like Israel with the golden calf - Every idol targets a real need: security, worth, belonging, confidence, peace, hope, or rest - The question isn't how much time we spend on something, but what we're expecting it to give us - Idols creep in slowly - like a friend who needed a place to crash and changed the locks Main Takeaway Idols promise to give what only Jesus can. Your phone, your money, your plans, and even your family can be good things - but they are terrible gods. John spent five chapters showing us what is real, and closes with one last warning: don't fall for anything fake. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Memorable Quotes - "Idols promise to give what only Jesus can." - "An idol is a good thing that gets treated like a God thing." - "The human heart is an idol factory." (John Calvin) - "We are wired for worship. If we refuse to worship God, we will replace Him with something else." - "Idols don't kick the door down like a burglar. They creep in under the door like a stink bug." - "You can't satisfy your thirst with salt water, and you can't satisfy your soul with anything but Jesus." Reflection Question What do you instinctively run to when life feels out of control, or when you're bored, scared, lonely, or exhausted? What are you expecting that thing to give you that only Jesus can? Tune in to hear the hilarious "Bro, What's With the Hat?" skit, the mystery of who ate the last Dino Nuggie, and why the golden calf disaster was not as different from our lives as we'd like to think.

Are distractions hijacking your calling?In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Pastor Michael talk about how to move past feeling spiritually stuck, experience a breakthrough, and unlock your godly inheritance. Distractions, negative environments, and generational curses and cycles are used by the enemy to hijack your purpose and legacy. The lie is to believe you're at the mercy of your circumstances. The temptation is to be obsessed with the problems. But freedom is found when you shift your gaze to Jesus and focus your thoughts on Him and who He has declared you to be.Join Rabbi and Pastor Michael as they unpack a powerful battle plan, share how to steward your home environment as a sanctuary, and why it matters to reclaim your family's unclaimed inheritance, turning past disappointments into a redeemed legacy for the kingdom of God.

In the opening of the Gospel of John, Pastor Michael unpacks how Jesus — the eternal Word — is the light and life of all creation, the fulfillment of every promise, and the one who became flesh to dwell among us. Have you ever considered how seeing Jesus clearly changes the way you see God the Father, yourself, and your purpose?

Certainty for an Uncertain World Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: 1 John 5:20 1 John Series, Part 25 Episode Summary In part 25 of the 1 John series, Pastor Michael gets personal about his struggle with uncertainty - the weather app, the "we need to talk" texts, the waiting room that has become a permanent residence. Through the final verses of 1 John, we discover that the answer to uncertainty isn't more information. It's knowing Who has the wheel. We can't be sure about tomorrow, but we can be sure about Jesus. Key Points - The Son of God has come - our faith is not in humanity reaching up to God, but in God stepping down to us - Jesus gives us understanding to recognize what is from God, even when we don't know the full road ahead - We are not just supposed to know about God - we are in Christ, joined to Him in relationship and identity - Eternal life isn't just the prize at the end - it begins the moment you believe and is wrapped up in Jesus Himself - No amount of struggle, anxiety, or uncertainty can cancel the truth that we belong to Jesus Main Takeaway We can't be sure about tomorrow, but we can be sure about Jesus. God doesn't answer our uncertainty by telling us everything that's coming - He tells us Who Has Come. Faith isn't knowing every turn ahead; it's knowing Who has the wheel. Memorable Quotes - "We can't be sure about tomorrow, but we can be sure about Jesus." - "The answer to uncertainty is not information; it's in Who you know." - "God doesn't answer our uncertainty by telling us everything that's coming. He tells us Who Has Come." - "Faith isn't knowing every turn ahead; Faith is knowing Who has the wheel." - "When you take The Hand of Jesus, He won't let go." - "Jesus didn't just show up to help us manage our spiritual battery. He Is The Source of Life." - "We will never walk any step of this journey alone." Reflection Question What area of uncertainty are you trying to control right now - and what would it look like to release that demand to know everything before you move? Tune in to hear Pastor Michael's hilarious confessions about weather apps, GPS exits he has definitely not missed, and why a possum with reflective fur is actually deeply theological.

Are you giving God your best, or your leftovers?In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Pastor Michael discuss the meaning and purpose of a firstfruits offering, and why it still matters for Believers today. Firstfruits is more than a financial or agricultural practice–it's a heart posture of honor, gratitude, and trust. Unlike tithing, firstfruits is not a command, but rather a freewill offering. It is the choice to give God your first and your best out of love and honor, applying to every area of your life: your time, gifts, and calling. Join Rabbi and Pastor Michael as they share how firstfruits is a mindset of generosity that aligns our hearts to build God's House before our own, and how firstfruits is also a spiritual pattern reflected in the Jewish people and Yeshua, the firstfruits of the gospel and the resurrection.#CurtLandryPodcast #ChristianPodcast #Faith #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTeaching #Generosity #FirstFruits #BiblicalFinance

Potential doesn't grow by accident—it grows because someone sees it first. On Next Gen Sunday, Pastor Michael Southerland explores the life of Samuel and challenges us to recognize, encourage, and invest in the God-given potential of the next generation... and the people already around us.

In Week 3 of 'A People Who Pray,' Pastor Michael reminds us that God's blessing in our lives is not an endpoint—it's a pathway meant to overflow for the good of others through intentional, intercessory prayer. How much of your prayer life is focused on the people around you rather than just yourself? Listen to the message, share it with someone who needs this reminder, and let us know in the comments how God is calling you to pray for others! Text: Psalm 67 Speaker: Michael Bayne

Living in a World of Lies Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: 1 John 5:18-19 1 John Series, Part 24 Episode Summary In part 24 of the 1 John series, Pastor Michael opens with a chicken coop fable about three baby chicks frightened by lies - and an old hen named Hazel who reminds them who they really belong to. Through 1 John's final verses, we discover three things we can know with certainty in a world flooded with deception: we are born to a new life, we belong to God, and the wicked one cannot own us. Key Points - Being born of God doesn't mean sinless perfection, but it means sin no longer owns us - we struggle with it rather than settle into it - "He who is born of God keeps himself" - we guard our lives and choices, not because we save ourselves, but because we are no longer casual about sin - Satan may attack our circumstances, but he cannot reverse the Cross, undo the Resurrection, or cancel our adoption - The "world" in this passage means human society organized against God - running the same lie as Eden: decide good and evil yourself - The devil's lies sound believable in the moment; the damage only becomes obvious later Main Takeaway No lie can change the truth that we belong to God. The devil knows which lies work on us - you're too broken, too guilty, too far gone, or you don't need God at all. But Jesus knew the full truth about us when He went to the Cross. You don't have to believe every voice when you know who you belong to. Memorable Quotes - "No lie can change the truth that we belong to God." - "You don't have to believe every voice when you know who you belong to." - "Struggle is a sign of life. A dead fish doesn't fight against the hook." - "The devil may touch the circumstances of your life, but he cannot touch the deepest truth about your life: you belong to God." - "You will not be untouched, but you will be unconquered." - "The forbidden fruit changes, but the lie remains the same." - "Changing the label on a jar doesn't change what's inside." Reflection Question What lie has the devil been whispering to you about your identity, your worth, or your standing before God - and what does it mean to replace that lie with the truth that you belong to Him? Tune in to hear the full fable of Buttons, Olive, Pickle, Big Red, and the wise old hen Hazel - and discover why the Colonel's bucket has nothing on the Farmer who cares for His own.
