Today on Anchored By the Sword Podcast, I'm honored to welcome my friend Nikita Koloff—and y'all, this conversation is powerful, redemptive, and deeply encouraging.I first met Nikita back in 2022 at the NRB Convention in Nashville, and it feels wild how fast the years fly by. What hasn't changed is the impact of his testimony and the way God has completely transformed his life.Nikita grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota, raised by a single mom after his father left when he was just three years old. He went on to become a standout football player, earning academic All-American honors, before stepping into the world of professional wrestling—where many know him as “The Russian Nightmare.” He had a wildly successful career, retiring early at just 33 years old… but success didn't equal fulfillment.In this episode, Nikita shares:How fame and success still left him emptyThe divine appointment that led him to church on October 17, 1993Surrendering his life to Christ at the altar—and never being the sameLearning to serve through missions and discipleshipLaunching Koloff for Christ Ministries and preaching in over 1,500 churchesMinistering in 36 countries and to crowds of over 70,000 peopleHis heart for men's ministry, discipleship, and calling men higherOne of the most moving parts of this conversation is Nikita's story of redemption and reconciliation with his father. After decades of distance, God restored their relationship—to the point where his father eventually said, “I love you, son,” for the first time at age 84. Nikita was with him when he went home to be with the Lord, and his father's final words to him were once again, “I love you, son.” Only God can write stories like that.Nikita also shares the verse that continues to anchor his life and ministry:Colossians 1:10 — a prayer to live a life worthy of the Lord, please Him in every way, bear fruit, and grow in the knowledge of God.This episode is a reminder that:Success without Christ will always fall shortGod is working behind the scenes long before we say “yes”Redemption is never too lateSaying yes to Jesus can change generationsWhether you're a wrestling fan, a leader, a parent, or someone searching for purpose—this conversation will meet you right where you are.

We teach through Matthew 13 and trace how the seed of the kingdom multiplies when our hearts become surrendered soil. We move from hard, shallow, and thorny ground to generous trust, deeper roots in community, and a communion moment where perfect love casts out fear.• Why the seed is the message of the kingdom• How God shares secrets with the hungry• What hard, stony, and thorny soils look like now• Why roots form through discipleship and community• How mammon deceives and chokes fruitfulness• First and best giving as worship, not transaction• Practical stories of prayer, generosity, and trust• Good ground as surrendered, not perfect• Communion as an exchange of fear for love

This Sunday we continued our Hearts Wide Open series with “The Surrendered Heart.” We looked at Genesis 4 and the story of Cain and Abel to discover what it means to give God our first and best as an act of trust and love. If you've ever felt anxious or unsure about finances, this message is a practical invitation to surrender, seek the Kingdom first, and experience the joy and freedom that comes from a wide-open life.Sent ChurchWeAreSent.church

I break down how Trump's retreat on immigration enforcement — refusing to invoke the Insurrection Act, pulling ICE from hostile blue states, and parroting Democrat talking points about “non-criminal” illegal labor — has emboldened blue-state insurrection while completely neutralizing red states. Now blue states will impose this tyranny on us in red states when they take over at the federal level, but thanks to Trump's bad endorsements, we will not have the infrastructure to fight Democrat tyranny the way blue states are successfully thwarting Trump. I also show how Trump is championing federal supremacy on all the wrong issues like gun control, AI, and land use, but not on immigration.    Learn more about your ad choices.

As we look at the Bronze Basin, we're invited to slow down, examine what we're carrying, and allow God to shape us through reflection, awareness, and surrender. Prayer becomes a daily practice of paying attention to God and offering every part of ourselves to Him.

Many of us know the Bible well. We love Jesus. We genuinely desire to live faithful, committed, and sincere lives. And yet… something in us still wonders if there's more. In this message, we explore how the Holy Spirit transforms us, empowers us, and gently directs our lives—not to make us someone else, but to help us live as the new creations we already are in Christ. This isn't just about getting more of God—it's also about giving more of ourselves to God. Open hands. Surrendered hearts. Willing obedience. Rather than being defined by past failures or mistakes, we learn to be open to what the Spirit may be inviting us into next. #OPEN2026 #HolySpirit #NewCreation #FaithFamily #KingdomLife

In this week's episode, The Surrendered Heart, we look at Mary's encounter with God in Luke 1:26–38 and discover what happens when ordinary people respond to God with extraordinary faith. Christmas reminds us that the impossible becomes possible when God moves in grace and we answer with humility, surrender, and trust. Mary's “yes” to God calls us to offer the same—allowing His presence to shape our hearts and His purpose to guide our lives.Support the showFind us at!Calvary.us ← Website

Pastor Tina talks with us about how we cannot have spiritual growth without surrendering ourselves to the Holy Spirit. We have to surrender all our anxiety, anger and circumstances, no matter how traumatic. Change is fruitful from the Holy Spirit! Jesus knew His disciples didn't understand this. We have to give up self sufficiency and humble ourselves and rely on God. The opposite of surrendering is striving, God is asking us to give up this focus on ourselves. God wants us to have things and desires, but doesn't want them to have us. Your surrender is a posture towards God! God has planned our our life, why do we resist this? We cannot become detoured by our own desires.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Juli Slattery, who has spent 15 years helping Christians navigate the complex terrain of sexuality in light of faith. We explore why so many struggle to surrender their sexuality to God and why the traditional church approach often falls short in addressing the real-life challenges people face today. Juli dives into how unresolved sexual issues can create barriers in our relationship with God and explains why identity—rather than behavior—is the key starting point for true transformation. She uncovers four common identity traps—self-discovery, shame, performance, and relationship—that can derail spiritual and sexual growth. Juli also challenges us to rethink the purpose of sexuality, offering practical insight on why simply stopping sexual sin is not enough and how surrendering sexual brokenness leads to lasting freedom. Resources:Order Juli's NEW BOOKJuli's PodcastJuli's Website GET STARTEDFree eBook: 7 Keys To Understanding Betrayal TraumaFree eBook: 5 Steps to Freedom From PornSchedule Your Free 15-Minute Counseling ConsultationJoin A Pure Desire Online Group SOCIALSFollow us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramFollow us on X (Twitter) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Following Jesus starts where surrender begins. In this message, we look at Jesus' call in Matthew 4:19 and discover that following Him isn't just believing—it's choosing to trust His leadership over our own. We explore why surrender can feel so difficult, what keeps us resisting the way of the Word, and why God is truly worthy of our trust. From His proven track record, to the power of His Word, to His ability to fulfill every promise, this message will stir your faith to say again, “At Your Word, Lord—I'll follow.”
