Ep 44 - Special EpisodeIs the current movement sweeping America a true spiritual revival—or something else entirely?In the wake of recent events, churches are packed, leaders are speaking Jesus' name, and talk of revival is everywhere. In this episode, we urge believers to pause and ask critical questions: Which Jesus are people proclaiming? Is this the gospel of the kingdom—or a gospel mixed with nationalism and politics?In this timely episode, they explore: ✅ Why "Jesus plus anything" equals nothing ✅ The difference between revival FOR God vs. OF God ✅ How to test the spirits in this cultural moment ✅ Why God is not American (and why that matters) ✅ The danger of confusing political movements with spiritual awakening ✅ What true repentance and revival actually look likeThis isn't about being cynical—it's about being discerning. We want to see genuine revival, but we must ensure people are meeting the real Jesus Christ, not a political figurehead or cultural Christianity.⚠️ Key Warning: Paul said if anyone preaches another gospel, let them be accursed (Galatians 1:8-9). When the gospel gets mixed with politics, nationalism, or any other agenda, it loses its power to save.

Today Frank explains what Paul meant  in his letter to the Corinthians concerning the equality in the relationship of men and woman with God and how the world and other believers hearing the Gospel might judge us.   Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those seeking to know more about the Real Jesus and how to be an active disciple.

500 years ago, when the Roman Catholic Church was basically “the” church, a young Catholic priest found himself deeply convicted as he read through Scripture. The church's teaching did not align with God's Word. He tried to reform the church from within but was kicked out, forced to start a protest church that we are part of today – the Protestant Church. We believe God's Word is our highest authority and are calling Catholics and every person on earth back to God's unchanging truth. Let's learn

Rough Waters, Real Jesus: w/Darren Tyler

Jesus fulfils prophecy as the Son of God and Son of Man. Revealing His divine authority to save, forgive, and judge. Through His death and resurrection, He alone gives access to the Father - calling us to trust Him and share His saving love. Our response, therefore, is to trust His promises, rest in His providence, and share the good news of His saving love. Visit hopecitychurch.uk.com to find out more.

Have you ever heard someone say "I'm spiritual but not religious" or "everything happens for a reason"? These well-meaning phrases attempt to bring comfort and order to life's chaos, but they often represent a blurred vision of Christianity—one that promises easy answers instead of genuine transformation.Pastor Stephen challenges us to consider whether we've reduced Jesus to a vague spiritual concept that makes us feel better without demanding anything from us. Drawing powerful parallels between ancient Gnosticism and modern spirituality, he reveals how both distance us from the real, flesh-and-blood Jesus who transforms lives. The apostle John confronted this distortion by emphasizing he had personally seen, heard, and touched Jesus—a defense against those who would turn Christ into merely an idea rather than a person.When we blur Jesus into a comfortable spiritual concept, we create a faith that works fine when life is easy but crumbles when facing real challenges. The diagnosis we didn't want, the strained marriage despite our best efforts, the dream job that becomes a nightmare—these realities require more than spiritual platitudes. They demand a real Savior who entered our messy world and walks with us through pain rather than simply explaining it away."A blurred faith thrives in isolation, but clarity grows in community," Pastor Stephen reminds us. He challenges everyone to identify areas where they've made faith more about comfort than Christ and to invite Jesus into concrete aspects of their lives—eating habits, relationships, work ethics—while sharing struggles with trusted companions. This embodied discipleship transforms not just individuals but entire communities.Ready to move beyond vague spirituality to experience the real Jesus who can carry you through life's hardest moments? Join us next week as we continue exploring how Scripture's view of the body differs radically from our culture's perspectives of either escape or perfection.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, consider subscribing to Madison Church on your favorite podcast platform.

In this episode of Your Week with St. Luke's, we'll explore Jesus' command in John 15 to “love one another as I have loved you” alongside the vision of the early church in Acts 2, where believers devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, prayer, and radical generosity. Pastor Jenn reminds us that Jesus redefined friendship as sacrificial love, a love embodied in bold, risky action for the sake of others. Drawing from John Wesley's rule to “do good,” she emphasizes that acts of love are not optional niceties but channels of God's grace and powerful witnesses to Christ. The Acts 2 church demonstrates how this love becomes structural, reorganizing life around community and care for the vulnerable, which in turn draws others to faith.

Jesus told the Pharisees that the two greatest commands were to love The Lord and to love your neighbor.  Expanding on that, Paul tells the Corinthians that we need to consider others beliefs when we are around them so that we may not cause them to stumble in their faith.Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those seeking to know more about the Real Jesus and how to be an active disciple.

Pastor and author Phill Tague joins Bleeding Daylight to share his powerful journey from legalistic Christianity through rebellion and crisis to authentic covenant faith. After growing up in a loving but rule-focused Christian home, Phill experienced a profound spiritual awakening that transformed his understanding of what it means to truly know Jesus. His story includes a life-threatening climbing accident that crystallized his surrender to God's purposes and led to planting Ransom Church.   In this vulnerable conversation, Phill challenges listeners to move beyond what he calls "spiritual pornography" - the airbrushed version of Christianity that promises intimacy without cost. Using his 24-year marriage as an analogy, he explores how genuine love for God naturally leads to obedience, not as rule-following but as a response to relationship. His book "Jesus Be the Centerfold: Choosing Covenant Faith Over Airbrush Christianity" offers a provocative look at authentic faith that will challenge both longtime believers and those disillusioned with church culture.   WEBLINKS Phill Tague's Website Jesus Be the Centerfold on Amazon Ransom Church

Christian husbands today are called to lead like Jesus—but not the soft, watered-down version our Western culture has created. In this video, “Lead Like the Real Jesus. Not the Western Watered-Down Version,” we break down what it means to lead your marriage and family with boldness, sacrifice, and truth.Too many men have been taught a counterfeit version of Jesus—passive, people-pleasing, and weak. But the real Jesus was strong, courageous, and unshakable. He was compassionate, yet confrontational with sin. He laid down His life, but He never compromised His mission. Husbands are called to reflect that example in their homes.If your wife doesn't trust your leadership, if your family feels out of order, or if you've been leading from insecurity or fear, this teaching will show you how to reset. Learn how to lead with authority rooted in Christ, set standards in your home, love your wife like Christ loves the church, and build a marriage that honors God.This is not about domination—it's about biblical order. When husbands follow the real Jesus, wives and families flourish.Desire to become a High Level Husband who is on Fire, Free, and Followed?

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Breaking Through to the Real Jesus, Part 2 Series: Unveiled Scripture: Mark 2:1-12 Episode: 1413 Bible Passage Summary: In Mark 2:1–12, Jesus returns to Capernaum, and a large crowd gathers as He teaches inside a house. Four men bring a paralyzed man, but unable to get through the crowd, they lower him through the roof. Jesus, seeing their faith, tells the man, “Your sins are forgiven.” This shocks the religious leaders, who accuse Him of blasphemy, since only God can forgive sins. To prove His authority, Jesus then tells the man to get up, take his mat, and walk—and the man is instantly healed. The amazed crowd glorifies God. Key themes include faith in action, Jesus' authority to forgive sins, and healing as a sign of divine power.

Most people want to relate to Jesus on their own terms, but a “fake Jesus” that we create to meet our needs can't really change or challenge us.

We need to have faith in Jesus not in the world..As disciples we need to step out of our comfort zones and share Jesus wherever we are in life.

In this episode of Chasing Elephants, Jeff sits down with author, speaker, and ministry leader Shane Pruitt to talk about his timely and thought-provoking new book, Not My Jesus. Shane challenges us to confront one of the most pressing issues in today's culture: the tendency to reshape Jesus into an image that fits our personal preferences, cultural trends, and political categories. In a world where truth is often traded for comfort, many have crafted a version of Jesus who affirms their desires, aligns with their ideologies, and avoids making them uncomfortable. But the question remains…Is this the REAL Jesus of Scripture? You can purchase Not My Jesus at Lifeway.com or wherever books are sold.

In this powerful discussion, Adam and the crew unpack the hunger for authentic faith among young believers today. Contrary to the narrative that Gen Z is running from God, this generation is seeking Him in His purest form. The conversation challenges us to strip away cultural adaptations of Jesus and instead present the raw, transformative power of the Gospel.A moving story of a young woman who broke down in tears after hearing the simple truth of salvation reminds us of Romans 1:16 — that the Gospel itself is “the power of God for salvation.” Together, the hosts reflect on how we can avoid diluting the message with unnecessary additions and instead boldly proclaim Christ's redemptive work. Inspired by Gen Z's boldness to take the Gospel to school quads and city streets, this episode calls us to cultivate the same passion and authenticity in our own walk with God.--Connect with:Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Pastor Sammy https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Chelsie Baham https://www.instagram.com/chelsiebaham/Vivi Diaz https://www.instagram.com/viviiidiaz/Allan Walters https://www.instagram.com/alllanwalters/Christian De La Rosa https://www.instagram.com/christian__delarosa/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Get Aaron Levy's book, JOHN: 21 Daily Drips of Dialogue: https://a.co/d/7lGB90i--Have a question?
