In this episode of Crosstalk, hosts Charles and Daniel explore what it means to "think big" about God. They challenge listeners to move beyond limited, childlike perceptions of God's size toward a mature understanding of His transcendence, nearness, and holiness. Using Scripture and personal stories, they present three key principles: a bigger view of God produces wiser thoughts, recognizing God's nearness leads to wiser decisions, and understanding God's holiness inspires purer living. They emphasize intentional biblical thinking as essential for personal faith and passing sound theological understanding to the next generation.

Is Owen Benjamin actually King David? Obviously not—at least not literally. But could his life follow the same biblical pattern?In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, we explore one of the most unusual conversations we've ever had: comparing Owen Benjamin's public story with the life of King David found in 1 Samuel.Using Scripture as the foundation, we examine David's anointing, his relationship with Saul, Jonathan, persecution, fame, exile, and the possibility of biblical archetypes repeating throughout history.

### Key Message Herb taught that every believer already possesses God's power through salvation and the Holy Spirit, but many Christians fail to experience that power because they allow negative thoughts, doubt, worry, fear, and unbelief to influence them. He emphasized that spiritual victory comes from knowing God's Word, believing it, speaking it, and acting on it. ### Major Themes #### 1. The Power of God Is Available to Every Believer Herb repeatedly stressed that Christians have access to the same divine power that raised Jesus from the dead. The question is not whether the power exists, but whether believers are using it. #### 2. The Real Battle Is in the Mind A large portion of the message focused on thoughts. Herb taught that: • Satan's primary tactic is planting negative thoughts, doubt, fear, and unbelief. • Sin begins when wrong thoughts are entertained rather than resisted. • God's Word is the weapon believers use to reject those thoughts. His central argument was that believers must identify thoughts that contradict God's Word and actively reject them. #### 3. Knowledge of Scripture Produces Victory Drawing from the idea that people perish for lack of knowledge, Herb emphasized: • Reading and studying Scripture regularly. • Seeking understanding from the Holy Spirit. • Using Scripture to counter negative thoughts and spiritual attacks. According to the sermon, spiritual power flows when believers understand and apply God's Word. #### 4. Faith Requires Speaking God's Word Using passages such as Mark 11:23-24, Herb taught that: • Believers should speak God's promises with faith. • Words have spiritual significance. • Speaking in agreement with God releases faith and spiritual power. He encouraged the congregation to replace negative declarations with scriptural truths. #### 5. Forgiveness and Love Keep God's Power Flowing Herb emphasized that: • Strife, bitterness, and unforgiveness obstruct spiritual growth. • Love and forgiveness are essential elements of faith. • Believers should forgive as Christ forgave and avoid dwelling on past failures. #### 6. Identity in Christ Another major point was that Christians are: • Children of God. • Sealed by the Holy Spirit. • Righteous through Christ. • Protected and empowered to live victoriously. He repeatedly encouraged listeners not to define themselves by past mistakes, but by their relationship with God. ### Practical Takeaways Herb Encouraged • Reject negative and fearful thoughts immediately. • Study Scripture consistently and seek understanding. • Speak God's promises rather than circumstances. • Walk in forgiveness and love. • Believe that God's power is already working within you. • Focus on God's purposes rather than past failures. ### Sermon's Main Conclusion Herb's core conclusion was that believers already possess God's power through Christ, but must actively cooperate with that power by knowing God's Word, resisting negative thoughts, exercising faith, speaking God's promises, and living in love. In his view, spiritual victory comes from aligning one's thinking and speech with what God has said rather than with circumstances or fears.

In this message, Coleton concludes the Lord's Prayer series by focusing on one of the most overlooked phrases Jesus ever taught us to pray: "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." (Matthew 6:13) Many Christians are comfortable praying for daily needs, forgiveness, or God's will, but often neglect this final request. Yet Jesus intentionally ends His model prayer by teaching His followers to pray against spiritual evil. Coleton explains that this isn't reserved for unusually spiritual Christians or for a specific period of history—it is meant to become a normal part of every believer's prayer life. Using Scripture, historical examples, and practical application, Coleton reminds us that while Christians should never seek out spiritual warfare, we are also never called to ignore it. Instead, Jesus gives us a weapon: prayer. Through prayer, we ask God to fight for us, protect us, and advance His kingdom against the kingdom of darkness. Jesus Teaches Us that Prayer is Spiritual Warfare Coleton opens with a story from his father, who taught him never to start a fight—but if one became unavoidable, fight hard enough that the enemy would never forget it. He uses that illustration to explain Jesus' teaching. Jesus isn't telling Christians to obsess over demons or look for spiritual battles everywhere. Instead, He is preparing His followers for the reality that they already live in a spiritual war. Prayer is how believers fight. The Lord's Prayer gradually teaches us how to approach God: Our Father — Remember who you are talking to. Hallowed be Your Name — Worship Him and remember His greatness. Your Kingdom Come — Ask God to display His rule and goodness on earth. Give Us Daily Bread — Trust Him to provide what you need. Forgive Us Our Debts — Confess sin and receive His grace. Deliver Us from the Evil One — Ask God to protect you and defeat the enemy. Coleton points out that Jesus intentionally ends His model prayer here. That means fighting spiritual evil isn't an optional part of Christianity—it is part of ordinary Christian prayer. Bible Passage Matthew 6:9–13 1. Jesus Knows This Is What Is Really Wrong with the World Coleton explains that beneath every broken relationship, every injustice, every war, every addiction, every lie, and every act of rebellion lies a deeper spiritual problem. Jesus did not primarily come to overthrow governments or fix political systems. He came to destroy the works of Satan. The greatest enemy of humanity isn't another nation, another political party, another religion, or another group of people. The deepest problem is sin and the spiritual kingdom of darkness that opposes God's purposes. This explains why so much of Jesus' earthly ministry involved confronting demons, healing people oppressed by evil, and setting captives free. Rather than teaching His followers to hate people, Jesus commanded them to: Love their enemies. Pray for those who persecute them. Turn the other cheek. But when it comes to Satan and spiritual evil, Jesus tells believers to fight. Coleton spends time explaining Daniel 10, where Daniel prayed for understanding for twenty-one days. God immediately heard his prayer, yet an angel was delayed because of conflict with spiritual powers described as the "Prince of Persia." This passage offers a glimpse behind the curtain of history. Events on earth often reflect a much greater conflict taking place in the unseen spiritual realm. Paul teaches the same reality in Ephesians: our true struggle is never against flesh and blood. That changes how Christians view the world. Instead of seeing people as the enemy, we begin praying against the spiritual forces influencing hearts, cultures, governments, and communities. Bible Passages Matthew 6:13 1 John 3:8 Daniel 10 Ephesians 6:12 Quotes "Spiritual beings are associated with nation-states... Michael fights for God's people, while the prince of Persia is a demonic power." — D.A. Carson "Daniel was learning that the ultimate power struggle was fought out in a realm of which most people know nothing... the world crises we see are reflections of an older, more ruthless conflict." — Sinclair Ferguson 2. Jesus Knows Every Believer Will Experience Spiritual Conflict Coleton reminds us that no one escapes spiritual warfare. Whether someone believes in Christ or not, the enemy is active. For unbelievers, Satan blinds people from seeing the beauty of the gospel. This explains why many reject Christ despite God's incredible offer of mercy. For believers, conversion does not end the battle. In many ways, it begins a new one. Peter warns Christians that the devil prowls like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Paul tells believers to put on the armor of God because spiritual conflict is inevitable. Coleton carefully avoids extremes. He reminds the church that not every hardship is caused by demons. Not every sickness... Not every temptation... Not every mental illness... Not every difficult circumstance... The Bible teaches that sometimes our own sinful desires lead us into temptation. Other times physical problems simply require ordinary wisdom and medical care. Still, Scripture clearly teaches that Satan actively seeks to: tempt believers toward sin, accuse them with guilt, destroy marriages, create division, attack families, discourage God's people, oppose God's work, and steal joy, peace, hope, and confidence in God. Because Jesus knows His followers will encounter spiritual opposition, He teaches them to pray for God's protection regularly. Bible Passages 2 Corinthians 4:4 1 Peter 5:8 Ephesians 6:10–13 Matthew 4 Mark 5 Matthew 9 Matthew 12 Luke 13 Matthew 15 Matthew 16 Mark 9 Acts 5 Luke 22 John 10:10 Quotes "After a man is converted... Satan gathers all his forces... because he cannot bear to lose his subjects." — Charles Spurgeon 3. Jesus Wants Us to Fight—and Prayer Is One of Our Greatest Weapons Coleton emphasizes that prayer is much more than bringing requests to God. Prayer is warfare. Paul teaches that Christians do not fight with worldly weapons but with weapons empowered by God to destroy spiritual strongholds. Coleton reminds us of the story where the disciples could not cast a demon out of a boy. When they asked Jesus why they failed, Jesus answered that this kind only comes out through prayer. Prayer is not powerless. Prayer invites the power of God into spiritual battles that human strength can never win. The Christian does not defeat darkness through cleverness, politics, anger, intimidation, or force. We fight by depending upon: the Holy Spirit, God's Word, faith, and prayer. Bible Passages 2 Corinthians 10:3–4 Matthew 17 (or Mark 9 parallel) Quotes "Christians can wage a successful campaign in the spiritual realm only when they abandon human resources and totally rely on spiritual weapons." — D.A. Carson "We must all practice violence... he who prays is fighting against the devil." — Martin Luther "While others fight, Christians pray." — Origen How Should Christians Respond? After explaining why Jesus included this prayer, Coleton gives several practical responses. Live with Awareness, Not Fear Christians should recognize spiritual warfare without becoming frightened by it. Jesus has already defeated Satan through His death and resurrection. Believers are filled with the Holy Spirit, and God's Spirit is infinitely greater than the enemy. Every time demons encountered Jesus in the Gospels, they were terrified of Him—not the other way around. Bible Passage 1 John 4:4 Pray for Discernment Coleton warns against seeing demons behind every inconvenience. The Bible teaches balance. Sometimes problems are spiritual. Sometimes they are physical. Sometimes they arise from our own sinful desires. Believers need wisdom to recognize the difference rather than becoming fearful or superstitious. Bible Passages James 1 1 Timothy 5:23 Know the Scriptures When Jesus faced Satan's temptations in the wilderness, He answered every attack with Scripture. God's Word is called the sword of the Spirit because truth defeats lies. The better Christians know God's Word, the better prepared they are to resist temptation and deception. Bible Passages Matthew 4 Ephesians 6 James 4:7 Make This Prayer Part of Your Daily Life Coleton challenges the church to actually pray the prayer Jesus taught. Pray for: your marriage, your children, your workplace, your church, your community, your city, your government, and everyone God has entrusted to your care. The power is not in our words. The power is in the God to whom we pray. Quote "Satan dreads nothing but prayer... He laughs at our toil... but he trembles when we pray." — Samuel Chadwick Persevere in the Battle Coleton closes with an illustration from the final days of World War II. After realizing Germany had lost, Hitler issued the Nero Decree, ordering the destruction of his own nation's infrastructure so the Allies could not benefit from it. Though defeated, he sought to cause as much destruction as possible before the end. Coleton compares this to Satan. The cross and resurrection settled the outcome. Jesus has already won. Satan knows his defeat is certain. Until Christ returns, however, he seeks to steal, kill, destroy, and create as much devastation as possible. That is why Christians must not become discouraged when they experience spiritual opposition. Spiritual conflict is not necessarily evidence that you are outside God's will. Often, it is evidence that God's kingdom is advancing through your life—and the enemy wants to stop it. Jesus has already won the victory. Now He invites His followers to participate in that victory through faithful, persistent prayer. Discipleship Group Questions Why do you think Jesus chose to end the Lord's Prayer with, "Deliver us from the evil one"? What does that reveal about the Christian life? How does understanding that "our struggle is not against flesh and blood" change the way we view difficult people, cultural conflicts, or personal hardships? Coleton emphasized that not every difficulty is spiritual warfare, but some certainly is. How can Christians grow in discernment without becoming fearful or overly focused on the demonic? Which of the practical responses challenged you the most: living without fear, praying for discernment, knowing Scripture, praying regularly against spiritual evil, or persevering? Why? What specific people, places, or situations in your life need to become part of your regular prayer for God's protection and deliverance from the evil one? Culture of Gospel Share this with someone in your life who doesn't know Jesus Every one of us senses that something is deeply broken in the world—and often within ourselves. Jesus teaches that the answer isn't simply trying harder, but trusting the One who has already defeated the deepest source of evil and invites us to live in His victory, freedom, and peace.

By Daniel Lausted - This message explores Jeremiah, Chapter 5 to learn how easily a nation that had everything, and we ourselves can become comfortable with lies that sound good but are not true. Using Scripture, we learn the importance of actively seeking God's Word every single day to keep our spiritual senses sharp

Ever feel like God took something from you and never gave you a reason why?You're not alone, and you're not being punished.In this message, Pastor Mike Rosado breaks down "Kingdom math" — the idea that sometimes God subtracts before He multiplies, empties before He fills, and takes something away before He builds something greater in its place. Using Scripture, real talk, and a story about Muhammad Ali's biggest loss, this message will change how you see every "L" in your life.If you've lost a job, a relationship, an opportunity, or a season of your life and you're still trying to make sense of it... this one's for you.This is Week 2 of "Through the Wilderness," a series about going from transition to transformation.

Pastor Tim Helland joins host Wendy Jones on Next Steps 4 Seniors: Conversations on Aging to discuss how faith and perspective can transform the way we face life’s trials especially while caring for aging loved ones. Drawing from personal experience as a caregiver and a father, Pastor Tim shares how biblical truth brings lasting hope in the midst of grief, stress, and uncertainty. He reflects on the emotional and physical toll caregiving takes—citing that 70% of caregivers over 65 die before the person they care for and emphasizes the importance of spiritual resilience. Using Scripture like James 1:2 (“Consider it pure joy when you face trials…”), he explains how true blessing is found not in comfort, but in trusting God’s eternal kingdom. This conversation offers encouragement, reminding listeners that real hope isn’t in this life alone, but in the life to come.

April 19, 2026 - Sunday AM Bible Class In this episode from a "common sins and struggles" class, Joey leads an interactive discussion about gossip — its definition, why it's sinful, and how it harms everyone involved. Using Scripture as the guide, the class examines gossip alongside related sins such as slander, being a busybody, and careless speech, and emphasizes how these practices contradict Jesus' commands to love one another. Key biblical texts cited include Matthew 22 and John 13 on loving others, Ephesians 4:29–31 on unwholesome words, James 4:11–12 on judging our neighbor, 1 Peter 2:1–2 on putting away slander, numerous Proverbs about restraint, and James 3:5–6's image of the tongue as a small fire that can ignite a forest. The instructor also uses real-world illustrations (tabloids, workplace hearsay, and the ‘‘Johnny Depp'' hearsay example) and classroom contributions from participants to show how gossip spreads and why it's so hard to undo. The episode unpacks: a practical definition of gossip (sharing negative information about others without permission, knowledge, or full facts); the three groups affected (the gossiper, the hearers, and the person gossiped about); and the spiritual and relational damage gossip causes. It highlights common ways gossip is disguised—wrapped in prayer requests, framed as seeking advice, or softened by phrases like "bless your heart"—and warns against putting ourselves in the judge's seat that belongs to God. Practical solutions and takeaways include: learn to hold your tongue and restrain unnecessary words; go to the person involved rather than spreading the story; remove yourself from gossiping conversations; refuse to repeat anything you wouldn't sign your name to; apologize and make amends when you slip; avoid demanding intimate details when someone asks for prayer; and always ask before speaking, "What good will this do?" The class closes by urging listeners to practice different speech habits that edify, give grace, and reflect fervent love for one another. Next session preview: the instructor will return to discuss being overly critical and how that vice connects to the same struggles of the tongue. Duration 41:40

What really happened between the cross and the resurrection? Where did Jesus go after He died—and why does it matter today? In this powerful Bible teaching, we explore one of the most misunderstood lines of the Apostles' Creed: “He descended into hell.” Using Scripture, theology, and real-life ministry experiences, this message reveals what Jesus accomplished in the unseen realm—and why His resurrection was far more than forgiveness of sins. You'll discover: What the Bible actually says about hell, Hades, and the afterlife Where people went before the resurrection of Jesus Why Jesus said He would be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth How Jesus defeated Satan, stripped him of authority, and took the keys of death Why the resurrection restored what humanity lost in the Garden of Eden What this victory means for your life, your faith, and your authority today This message is rooted in Scripture (Luke 16, Acts 2, 1 Peter 3, Ephesians 4, Revelation 5, and more) and brings clarity, hope, and confidence in the finished work of Jesus Christ. If you've ever wondered: What happens when we die? Did Jesus really descend into hell? Does Satan still have authority today? …this teaching will answer those questions clearly and biblically. 👉 Stay to the end for a powerful invitation to receive Jesus as Savior and Lord. Luke 16 | Acts 2:24 | 1 Peter 3:19 | Ephesians 4:8–10 | Colossians 2:15 | Revelation 5 | Revelation 20 🔔 Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe if this teaching encouraged you or helped strengthen your faith.

By David Chornomaz - The message teaches that sin should not be dismissed as mere weakness. Using Scripture and examples from King David and the Apostle Paul, it shows that while human weakness can lead to sin, sin itself is a serious violation of God's law that God hates. Proper repentance requires recognizing sin

Spiritual apathy often develops quietly, gradually dulling conviction and weakening a believer's witness. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar explore how comfort, distraction, and self-sufficiency can cause hearts to drift from zeal for God's glory into lukewarm indifference. They clarify that apathy isn't always open rebellion but a slow forgetfulness of eternal realities, the urgency of the gospel, and the call to obedience. Using Scripture, they show how comfort can lead to spiritual numbness and emphasize that repentance, humility, and honest self-assessment are vital for renewal. The discussion encourages believers to reject sentimental views of Jesus, submit to His authority, and diligently pursue Him through prayer and the Word. Ultimately, the gospel not only saves but also sustains, and renewed zeal arises from remembering our dependence on Christ, setting aside distractions, and responding promptly to God's voice with courageous obedience.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!

After 20 years as an evangelical pastor and church planter, I've reached a conclusion I never thought I'd reach: I will never vote Republican again — and as a Christian, I believe I have no other choice. This isn't a political rant. It's a theological reckoning. In this episode, I make the biblical case for why MAGA Christianity is incompatible with the teachings of Jesus. Using Scripture, history, and observable evidence, I walk through why the Republican Party has become a haven for religious grifters — men like Franklin Graham, Robert Jeffress, and Paula White — who have traded the Gospel for political power and access to Donald Trump. I also announce a new weekly series: The Bible vs. MAGA — a systematic, verse-by-verse refutation of Christian nationalism and the theology that props it up.

In this week's episode of Raising Kids on Your Knees, we're diving deep into one of the most powerful—and often misunderstood—character traits we can cultivate in our homes: humility. Using Scripture as our guide, we explore what true biblical humility looks like, how pride subtly sneaks into our lives and parenting, and why teaching our children to walk humbly before God sets them up for lifelong wisdom, unity, and spiritual strength.Together, we unpack five key Bible verses on humility, learn how pride disguises itself in both bold and quiet ways, and discover practical steps for helping our children depend on God rather than on us. You'll also hear encouragement for navigating hard seasons, receiving compliments with grace, serving others with joy, and modeling humility in everyday moments.If you're a Christian parent longing to raise children who love Jesus, walk in wisdom, and reflect His character in a world obsessed with self, this episode will equip and encourage you.Keywords: Christian parenting, humility, pride, spiritual growth, raising godly kids, biblical character, family discipleship, Christian mom podcast, spiritual parenting, Proverbs 11:2, Philippians 2:3, Romans 12:3, James 3:13, 1 Peter 5:6Listen to Legacy - A Mom Podcast https://RaisingKidsOnYourKnees.org/podcastJoin the Prayer Tribe https://mailchi.mp/24bba9787d3e/raisingkidsonyourknees Listen to last week's episode on Integrity https://open.spotify.com/episode/1PJ1fxl5lTUvDQP0vf2poP?si=9b88a99e7bd44719Flying Arrow Productions

What if the biggest threat to your faith is not rebellion but distraction? Most people do not walk away from God in a single moment. It happens slowly. One decision, one season, one shift in focus at a time. In this powerful message from the Misfit Mindset series, Larry McCall explains why the Christian life is really a battle for your attention and how believers can stay focused on the path Jesus calls us to follow. Using Scripture from Psalm 143, Romans 12, Mark 12, and Deuteronomy 6, this sermon explores the two paths every person walks and why followers of Jesus often find themselves drifting without realizing it. If you feel spiritually distracted, worn down by life, or unsure where you stand with God, this message will help you refocus your heart and rediscover the life and peace that come from walking closely with Jesus.   Did you accept Christ today?

All sin separates us from God. Some sins—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, lust, gluttony—can destroy us. Jesus gives us virtues that overcome these vices.This 8-week series examines the Seven Deadly Sins not to shame, but to reveal our need for grace. Each week shows how these sins infiltrate life, harm relationships, and distance us from God—and how Jesus provides the way out. The final week focuses on virtue and victorious life in Christ.Today we focus on greed as a deadly sin rooted not in wealth itself but in a heart of disordered desire and scarcity. Pastor Joel argues that modern consumer culture fuels constant craving, convincing us we never have enough. Challenging the myths that greed only affects the rich or can be virtuous, the message warns that greed ultimately destroys individuals and societies. Using Scripture, especially the parable of the rich fool, it calls believers to choose contentment and generosity, finding true satisfaction in God rather than in accumulating more.Let's listen in…LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:• Dr. Rebecca DeYoungGlittering Vices and other recommended reading for this series• Avarice (Greed)• Thomas Aquinas, Clement of Alexandria (150-215 AD), Wallstreet movie, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith• Plutocricy• Augustine of Hippo“…our hearts are restless until they rest in you”• CS Lewis“He who has God and everything else has no more than he who has God only.”• Download the free study guide, complete transcript, and show notes here.• Scripture References: Luke 12, verses 15-21; 1 Timothy 6, verses 6-10; Proverbs 15, verse 27; Proverbs 11, verse 28; Proverbs 15, verses 16-17; 2 Corinthians 9, verse 7 • Find out more about Covenant Church at ⁠covenantexperience.com

Is truth objective—or just personal preference? In this episode of Redeeming Truth, our pastors address the growing rejection of biblical truth within modern evangelicalism. Using Scripture and data from The State of Theology survey, they explain what truth is, why it matters, and how abandoning God's Word leads to doctrinal drift, cultural confusion, and dying churches. This conversation calls believers back to Jesus Christ—the Truth—and reminds the church of its God-given responsibility to know, uphold, and proclaim the truth with courage, love, and conviction.

Jesus warned about those who cause children to stumble.Using Scripture to justify irreversible gender procedures for minors isn't love, it's false teaching with real consequences.

7 Lies the Church Taught You About How Jesus Handled NarcissistsIf you've ever felt guilty for setting boundaries, saying no, or protecting your peace, it may not be conviction - it may be mis-teaching. In this episode, we expose seven common lies many Christians were taught about how Jesus handled narcissistic, controlling, or deceitful people - and why those teachings quietly keep believers stuck in guilt, exhaustion, and self-abandonment.Using Scripture and cultural context, we unpack what Jesus actually modeled: truth without appeasement, love with boundaries, forgiveness without forced reconciliation, and discernment over religious pressure. From “turn the other cheek” to “submit no matter what,” you'll learn how these verses are often misused - and how Jesus Himself confronted manipulation, walked away from danger, and protected His mission without sinning.This episode will help you release false guilt, reclaim biblical clarity, and follow Christ without sacrificing your God-given boundaries.

Most of us use faith for today's needs — breakthrough, healing, provision, and direction. But Scripture calls believers to something deeper: a faith anchored in eternity. In this powerful and eye-opening message, Pastor Marion Dalton teaches how developing eternal faith transforms how we handle pressure, suffering, fear, loss, and uncertainty. Using Scripture from 2 Corinthians 4, Hebrews 11, John 14, Colossians 3, and Romans 8, this sermon reveals how focusing on the unseen, eternal realm unlocks peace, confidence, purpose, and spiritual endurance. When heaven becomes real, temporary problems lose their control.

Your mind is not neutral ground.It is the battlefield of spiritual warfare.In this message, we break down how spiritual warfare often targets the mind first—through subtle thoughts, distraction, fear, and compromise. Using Scripture and practical insight, this teaching explains why vigilance matters, how the enemy operates, and what it means to stand firm and resist.HaSatan (Did the Devil Make You Do It?) part 17Rabbi Steve Berkson offers an in-depth exploration of Scripture to better understand the nature of our adversary, known as HaSatan or the Devil. • Reset / Review• 1 Peter 5:8–Be sober and watch…• Shepherd the flock• Be examples to the flock• When the Chief Shepherd appears…• Cast all your worries?• This is not a cult• Seeking someone to devour?• Be sober and watch• Resist the devil• The battle for your mind• Life is a game• You are here to do something • After you have suffered a while…• Because you can• Stand up and fight• You were called to this walk• PrayerListen to the Afterburn tomorrowSubscribe to be notified of new content each week.Learn more about MTOI:https://mtoi.orgThe MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-appFollow MTOI:https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwidehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mtoi_worldwide Contact MTOI: 

Does dying in sin cause a believer to lose salvation? A listener asked this sobering question, so in this episode of The FLOT Line, Rick Hughes explains the difference between a relationship with God and fellowship with God, between temporal carnality and prolonged carnality, and why divine discipline does not mean loss of salvation. Using Scripture, Rick clarified eternal security, the integrity of God, and the role of rebound in restoring fellowship. This lesson clarifies for believers that salvation is secure while challenging them to avoid prolonged carnality and to live within God's protocol plan.⬇Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/1068-transcript

Have you ever wondered why God feels distant—even when you believe, pray, and want to grow spiritually? In this message, we kick off a new series on Spiritual Disciplines by addressing a tension many Christians quietly wrestle with: the gap between discipline and desire. Is closeness with God about trying harder… or something deeper? Using Scripture, personal stories, and insights from Celebration of Discipline by Richard J. Foster, this sermon explores: Why discipline often feels heavy or legalistic The difference between outer discipline and inner disciplineHow spiritual habits are meant to form relationship, not replace itWhy Bible study is the foundation for spiritual growthHow God uses discipline to lead us toward peace, freedom, and transformation Whether you're new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, this message will help you reframe discipline—not as obligation, but as a pathway to intimacy with God.

What if the hardest path in your life is actually the right one?In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface unpack the biblical, psychological, and practical meaning of the narrow road—and why so many people misunderstand it.Using Scripture, real-world examples, and powerful analogies, the conversation reframes the narrow road not as religious restriction, but as God's process for transformation. The broad road promises clarity, comfort, and predictable outcomes—but only reveals its true cost later. The narrow road offers uncertainty upfront, but leads to life, maturity, and alignment with God's purpose.Garrett explains how the narrow road began with sin entering the world, how it culminates in Christ, and why walking it—not just knowing it—prepares you for eternal life and real leadership. Together, Garrett and Nick explore why certainty kills faith, why God prioritizes who you become over what you achieve, and how this dynamic applies to marriage, business, parenting, and suffering.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the narrow road exists and what it's designed to produceThe difference between knowing the gate and walking the roadWhy God is a God of process, not shortcutsHow belief, surrender, and trust are forged through uncertaintyWhy transformation—not outcomes—is God's primary goalHow the narrow road unlocks paths forward when life feels blockedIf you're frustrated, confused, or stuck—and the easy options feel empty—this episode will give you a new framework for understanding what God may be doing in your life right now.There is a way forward. It's just narrower than most people are willing to walk.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

We're kicking off a brand new sermon series, Solomon: The Man Who Had It All, with a foundational message that frames the entire journey ahead. In this message, Pastor Christian Lindbeck introduces the central question that runs throughout the life of Solomon and, ultimately, through every human heart: Am I building God's kingdom, or my own empire? Using Scripture from Genesis, 1 Kings, and the story of Solomon's rise and fall, Pastor Christian unpacks two ways to live — a wide, flourishing life with God enthroned at the center, or a small, self-driven life built on pride and self-determination. This message also launches our second year of Kingdom Builders, calling our church to intentionally choose rhythms, habits, and priorities that keep us focused on God's kingdom. This sermon sets the tone for the weeks ahead and invites each of us to honestly examine what we're building with our lives.

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of the 9941 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker and AntMan tackle a rapidly growing cultural trend: AI girlfriends, boyfriends, and digital soulmates. What starts as a discussion about emerging AI companion technology quickly becomes a deep, biblical examination of love, loneliness, identity, and God’s design for human relationships. The guys explore how artificial intelligence is being marketed as emotional companionship — even romantic partnership — and why that trend poses serious spiritual, emotional, and societal dangers. They reference real-world examples like hologram companions and AI chatbot “relationships,” including platforms that introduced erotic roleplay features and the emotional fallout when those features were removed. Using Scripture as their foundation, the conversation moves into what the Bible teaches about love, human connection, and God’s design for marriage. Passages from 2 Timothy 4, Proverbs 14, and Romans 1 are used to show how redefining love and pursuing artificial substitutes for real relationships leads people away from truth and toward spiritual harm. The hosts also address deeper heart issues behind the appeal of AI relationships — loneliness, sexual temptation, fear of rejection, and the desire for unconditional affirmation. They emphasize that while AI may seem safe and customizable, it ultimately replaces real sanctifying relationships and distracts people from Christ, the Church, and the gospel. The episode closes with a clear gospel message, reminding listeners that true love, fulfillment, and rest are found in Jesus alone — not in manufactured affection or digital fantasy. The guys issue a firm warning against pursuing romantic or emotional relationships with AI and encourage believers to trust God with their singleness, relationships, and longing for connection. *************** Follow the show: Instagram - https://www.Instagram.com/9941thepodcast Facebook - https://www.Facebook.com/9941thepodcast YouTube - https://www.YouTube.com/@9941ThePodcast Online - https://www.9941ThePodcast.com Shop - https://yeeyee.com/collections/faithSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Biblical truth exposing worldly thinking, spiritual distraction, and God's plan. A cosmic recruiter is someone who has been lured by Satan's counterfeits to the spiritual life and, through human viewpoint thinking, seeks to pull Christians away from God's Word and spiritual growth. Using Scripture and real-life examples, Rick Hughes explains how this system of worldly thinking captures attention, reshapes priorities, and diverts believers from their primary mission—growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.⬇Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/1065-transcript

Rather than defending theology at all costs, they focus on telling the truth about the damage such misuse can cause.

This episode dives into the high-profile prophetic words for 2025 released by Cindy Jacobs and the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders—and asks the hard question: what actually came to pass, and what didn't?In this Remnant Radio conversation, Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller walk through the major 2025 prophecies from Cindy Jacobs and ACPE, examining themes like national shaking, global conflict, economic turbulence, spiritual warfare, and calls to intercession and repentance. Using Scripture as the plumb line, they explore how Christians should approach national-level prophetic words, how to test them, and what it really means to practice prophetic accountability in the local church and the broader body of Christ.The guys discuss the tension between honoring prophetic ministry and refusing to give in to spiritual hype, asking honest questions about what to do when timing, details, or outcomes don't match what was proclaimed. If you care about Christian theology, charismatic gifts, and the future of prophetic ministry, this episode will help you think more clearly about modern prophecy, discernment, and integrity in the prophetic movement.
