Podcasts about using scripture

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

What does genuine faith look like when we leave church and step into the realities of everyday life? How does our Sunday worship shape the way we show up at work, at school, in our homes, and in our communities? In this message, Pastor Ruthie Seiders invites us to consider a powerful and challenging truth from the book of James: faith that does not move us to action is incomplete. A living, authentic faith is not something we simply believe—it is something we practice. Drawing from James 2, Pastor Ruthie explores what it means to live out a working faith—a faith that connects prayer, worship, and belief with tangible expressions of love, mercy, justice, and compassion in the places God has called us to serve each day. Using Scripture, real-life examples, and stories from Grace Chapel's Faith and Work gathering, this message highlights how God is already at work through people across all ages, vocations, and life stages. This sermon wrestles honestly with questions like: Can faith be real if it doesn't shape how we treat others? How do faith and works relate without turning obedience into performance? What does it look like to love our neighbors in the ordinary moments of work and responsibility? James reminds us that even belief alone is not enough—even the demons believe. What marks genuine faith is love in action. From the faith of Abraham to the courage of Rahab, Scripture shows us that faith comes alive when it is expressed through deeds shaped by trust in God and love for others. Pastor Ruthie challenges us to imagine what might change if we truly believed that every person we encounter is a child of God, an image bearer, and that our work as followers of Jesus is to treat them that way. When we close the gap between Sunday and Monday, faith becomes visible—not just in words, but in lives shaped by grace. This message is an invitation to reflect deeply on how your faith shows up in the small, everyday choices you make—and to live out a faith that works for the good of others and the glory of God.

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.

In this week's sermon, Bishop Putnam brings a heartfelt and Spirit-led message titled “The Greatest of These Is Love.” Building upon recent teachings on love, Bishop Putnam dives deeper into the divine nature of agape—the selfless, sacrificial love that defines God Himself. Using Scripture from Mark 12 and 1 Corinthians 13, this message reminds us that while faith and hope remain powerful pillars of the Christian life, the greatest of these is love. Not emotion. Not sentiment. Not romance. But the agape love of God—unearned, unconditional, and transformative. “The Greatest of These Is Love” is both a reminder and a call to action—an invitation to receive afresh the Spirit of God and to let His love shape every interaction, every response, and every relationship. If you've ever wondered what it truly means to reflect Christ, this message will encourage you, convict you, and inspire you to pursue the highest virtue heaven offers—the love of God.

The spirit realm is not a playground. It is governed by divine protocols, spiritual jurisdiction, and Kingdom authority. In this teaching, Dr. Delisa Rodgers breaks down a critical truth many overlook in prophetic warfare and intercession: you cannot declare war in the spirit realm without divine authorization. Passion is not permission. Burden is not assignment. Noise is not authority. Using Scripture, this message exposes the danger of unauthorized spiritual activity and explains why prophetic declarations must be rooted in the counsel of the Lord, not emotional urgency or religious excitement. You will learn: • Why prophetic warfare requires divine mandate • What happens when believers operate outside their spiritual jurisdiction • The difference between spiritual boldness and spiritual recklessness • Why standing in the counsel of the Lord is essential before declaring or decreeing • How unauthorized warfare exposes people to backlash and unnecessary entanglements Key Scriptures taught in this message: 1 Kings 22:19–23 Jeremiah 23:18 Jeremiah 23:21 John 5:19 1 Corinthians 4:6 Even Jesus declared that He only did what He saw the Father do. If the Son of God required divine authorization, how much more must prophetic people operate with precision, accuracy, and Heaven's backing. This teaching is not about fear. It is about alignment. It is not about silence. It is about hearing God clearly before speaking. It is about protecting mantles, assignments, and the people God has entrusted to us. Everything shared here is unpacked in full detail in the book The Obligations of the Prophet in Spiritual Warfare If you are a prophet, intercessor, watchman, or someone who takes spiritual assignments seriously, this book is not optional. It is essential for safeguarding your calling and aligning your warfare with Kingdom protocol. Order your copy today at www.drdelisarodgers.com Your calling deserves accuracy. Your assignment deserves protection. Your warfare must be authorized. If this teaching blessed you, like, share, and subscribe so others can grow in Kingdom precision and spiritual understanding.

Pastor Adekoye Sanni teaches on "Reset Your Heart," explaining that true gratitude goes beyond politeness or mood and must become a lifestyle. Using Scripture (1 Thessalonians 5:18, Colossians 3, Psalm 103), he explains how acknowledging God's goodness and recognizing Him as the source resets the heart, strengthens faith, and brings peace in every circumstance. He outlines levels of gratitude, contrasts gratitude with complaining, and calls believers to cultivate intentional thankfulness so their hearts remain steady whether prayers are answered immediately or delayed.

Resilience is the ability to move forward with strength after stress and burnout. In this episode, we explore how true strength is built through strategy, capacity, and steady progress rather than intensity alone. Using Scripture and the metaphor of a wise warrior, this episode introduces Strength as a key pillar of the Living F.R.E.S.H. formation pathway—focused on sustainable, whole-body resilience.

Watch Part 1 on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VjeIYxYkLok In this first installment of our 4-part Dysphoria series, Mark and Amber Archer confront one of the most aggressive cultural deceptions of our time—gender ideology—through a clear, uncompromising biblical worldview. Why is this film being censored, banned, and rejected by major platforms and churches?Because truth exposes darkness. Using Scripture, firsthand testimony, and documented evidence, Dysphoria Part 1 examines how the denial of God's created order has led to confusion, harm to children, and the erosion of parental rights. This episode lays the biblical foundation for understanding why gender confusion is not a social breakthrough—but a spiritual and cultural deception Scripture warned us about. ⚠️ Parental discretion advised — this episode is intended for adults. Key Scriptures Explored: Ephesians 5:11 Romans 1:18–32 Genesis 1:27 Leviticus 18 Jude 1:7 Why This Matters: — Parents are being silenced — Children are being targeted — The Church is being pressured to affirm lies — Truth is being labeled as hate This episode equips families, churches, and leaders to stand firm, speak clearly, and act courageously in defense of truth and the next generation. 00:00 – Introduction 02:45 – Cultural Pressure vs Biblical Truth 08:30 – Ephesians 5:11: Exposing Deeds of Darkness 13:20 – Genesis 1:27: God's Created Order 18:35 – “Something Is Very Wrong” – Cultural Breakdown 22:20 – Testimony: A Family Pulled Into Gender Ideology 27:00 – The Role of Schools & Social Contagion 33:00 – Parental Rights vs Institutional Authority 47:55 – What Comes Next in Part 2 ▶ Watch / Rent / Purchase Dysphoria:

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.

"You Are Not Being Fixed, You Are Made New" In this powerful message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks the life-changing truth of the old life versus the new life in Christ. This sermon challenges the idea that Christianity is about self-improvement or behaviour modification, revealing instead that salvation is a complete change of reality, realm, and identity. Using Scripture, Pastor David explains that the old self is not being repaired, healed, or upgraded — it has passed away. In Christ, you are already a new creation, relocated from darkness into the Kingdom of God. The struggle many believers face is not a lack of effort, but living from an old perspective instead of a new reality. The question isn't whether you are trying hard enough — the question is whether you are living from who you already are in Christ.

Growth 101: Getting the Basics Right focuses on the how-to of prayer, not just the idea of praying. Prayer can feel confusing if no one shows us how. While spontaneous prayer is good, Scripture calls us to consistent, focused prayer, modeled by Daniel. This sermon introduces the ACTS model as a simple, biblical framework for prayer: Adoration (praising God for who He is), Confession (agreeing with God about our sin to restore fellowship), Thanksgiving (cultivating gratitude and humility), and Supplication (bringing requests to God for His glory and our good). Using Scripture to guide each part helps believers pray confidently, consistently, and in the Spirit as they grow in their relationship with God.

Before you say “I do,” you must discern the altar you're marrying into. In this episode, Dr. Delisa Rodgers delivers a prophetic, trauma-informed warning for those seeking covenant. Not every family altar releases blessing. Some altars are built on silence, control, and generational compromise. What looks like “family dynamics” in the natural may be spiritual agreements in the unseen. Using Scripture, Hebraic insight, and biblical examples such as the house of Eli, this episode exposes why love alone is not enough to heal broken foundations and why marriage does not dismantle family altars, it multiplies them. You'll learn: • How family systems reveal spiritual governance • Why silence in the face of abuse is alignment, not neutrality • How God exposes patterns before covenant to preserve destiny • The difference between emotional attachment and discernment • Why missing someone does not mean you misheard God This episode is for anyone who is dating, engaged, recently separated, or praying for clarity before commitment. It is especially for those who have been taught to overlook red flags in the name of faith. If you are ready to stop negotiating with warning signs and choose wisdom without guilt, this conversation will shift how you view covenant forever.

In today's devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster continues the series “Lamps With Oil and Lamps Without Oil” from Matthew 25 and brings us to a solemn but hopeful truth: when the Bridegroom comes, those who are ready will be secured forever.Using Scripture alone, this message explains that redemption is not based on tradition, church membership, or good living—but solely on the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Peter reminds us that we were not redeemed with silver or gold, but with the blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.Pastor draws attention to the moment in Matthew 25 when “they that were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.” That shut door speaks both of those who are shut out and those who are shut in—secure eternally with the Lord. Just as God shut Noah into the ark, God secures His redeemed people in Christ.This devotion also clearly explains:What it means to be redeemedWhy all believers are secure in ChristHow salvation is instant when one truly believesThe biblical steps to being ready: realization of sin, repentance, faith in Christ aloneThe message closes with a loving but direct invitation: only those who are ready will go in. The question every listener must answer is simple—but eternal.

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.

Pressure doesn’t just test obedience, it amplifies voices. In this episode, Jon Ellis goes deeper into what happens internally when pressure increases. Why doubts feel louder. Why thoughts feel heavier. And why faithful believers often start questioning themselves, not because their faith is weak, but because pressure removes the filters. Using Scripture from 1 Kings 19 and James 1, this episode explores how pressure exposes which voices we’re listening to, how accusation leads to confusion, and how discernment can be strengthened when everything feels noisy. This conversation builds directly off the YouTube message “You’re Not Weak…. You’re Under Pressure” and is designed to help believers stay clear, steady, and obedient when pressure hasn’t let up. Pressure doesn’t mean you’re failing, but it does reveal what you’re listening to. In UNC021, Jon Ellis explores how pressure amplifies voices, tests discernment, and exposes the difference between conviction and accusation. This episode helps believers recognize internal noise, strengthen spiritual clarity, and remain faithful when obedience feels slow and costly.

This Thursday episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast dives into the often misunderstood world of gender roles and seeks to offer Biblical freedom and joy in places that have previously been understood as stifling and rigid. Throughout the conversation, hosts Natalie Ambrose and Melissa Bearden maintain anchors in a Biblical Worldview regarding gender and the various roles that girls and women play within the Kingdom of God.    After a fun discussion of 'girls' chores' versus 'boys chores', Melissa and Natalie settle into the contentment and joy God has for girls of all personalities, strengths, and preferences—all aiming to edify and refine God's people and to embrace the world around us for the sake of the pure Gospel message.    The Raising Godly Girls Minute in the middle of this episode opens the door to some great discussion on the color pink and how that can morph and fade for some girls. Melissa shares her mothering journey of teaching her girl to embrace who God made her to be and now relishing in the fruit of that ongoing conversation now that her daughter is in college.    Using Scripture as a guide, Natalie offers three key anchors to guide families' understanding of Biblical femininity and gender roles—especially as girls grow into the next generation of Christian leaders.      Three Things to Consider:    Scriptures to Guide a Christian Girl's View of Gender Roles:    Proverbs 31:30—no matter a girl's place on the spectrum of 'girly' to 'tom boy', she can reflect her Lord through a heart that wants to walk with Him.   Luke 1:46-48—Known as 'The Magnificat' this passage of Scripture showcases Mary's open heart to follow the Lord's command for her life. Your girl can have the same heart to follow God as Mary!   Galatians 5:22-23—The Fruit of the Spirit passage of Scripture is a great reminder that no matter the strengths, every girl can grow in areas that reflect Christ.    Scriptures Shared in this Episode:    Proverbs 31:30   Luke 1:46-48   Galatians 5:22-23     Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.      To find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.     

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

Summary In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley calls believers back to the bedrock of Christian faith: doctrine rooted in the Word of God. While many come to faith through the local church, Easley argues that too few believers develop a biblical worldview strong enough to withstand cultural pressure. Salvation must be settled—anchored in Christ alone—but growth requires more than experience or emotion. It requires truth. Tracing the cultural shift from theism to humanism, modernity, and postmodern relativism, Easley explains how truth has been diluted and authority rejected. Words like tolerance, inclusion, and equality, while common in modern language, carry meanings shaped by the world—not Scripture. When believers adopt these definitions uncritically, theology quietly erodes. Easley warns that doctrinal drift rarely happens through sudden rebellion but through slow, subtle shifts—like tectonic plates beneath the surface. Using Scripture from 2 Timothy and the teaching authority of Jesus in Mark's Gospel, he reminds listeners that truth is not subjective and doctrine is not optional. Just as Vince Lombardi returned his team to the fundamentals, Easley urges Christians to return to the basics: God has spoken, His Word is authoritative, and belief must shape life. Why you believe what you believe is not merely important—it is crucial. Takeaways Salvation must be settled once for all, grounded in Christ alone with full assurance. Experience without theology leaves believers vulnerable to cultural confusion. The world's definitions of truth, tolerance, and equality are not biblical by default. Doctrinal drift happens slowly when believers stop grounding themselves in Scripture. Truth and authority belong together because God has spoken clearly in His Word. A “gentle dogmatism” rooted in Scripture is essential for faithful Christian living today. To read the bible online, click here. Click here for other Michael Easley Sermons.

Guest Bios Show Transcript The Bible is meant to provide truth, refuge, and hope. But what happens when the Word becomes a sword of fear, confusion, or shame for those already wounded by abuse? In this podcast, guest host Lance Ford speaks with theologian and longtime advocate Steve Tracy about how Scripture has often been misused—and at times deliberately weaponized—against survivors. Rather than defending theology at all costs, they focus on telling the truth about the damage such misuse can cause.

The greatest wealth transfer in history is happening right now, but what is really being passed from one generation to the next?In this episode, Alex talks with Scott Kubie, President of Orchard Alliance, about how money shapes families far beyond bank accounts. Using Scripture and real world experience, Scott explains why this moment is more emotionally charged than ever and how unspoken fears, secrecy, and silence around money can quietly shape kids, marriages, and faith.

The World | Straight BibleWhat does the Bible actually mean when it says “love not the world”?In this episode of Straight Bible, we break down the biblical definition of “the world” — not as nature or people, but as systems, structures, and orders that stand in opposition to God. Using Scripture alone, we examine how the Bible contrasts the world system with the Kingdom of God, and why Christians are called to live in the world but not of it.We cover:The biblical meaning of cosmos vs aionWhy the world's systems are broken by designLust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of lifeThe danger of mixing the world into the churchWhy Christianity is not about reforming systems—but new birthHow wealth, poverty, and comfort can both become spiritual trapsWhat it truly means to be a pilgrim, stranger, and citizen of another kingdomThis is not opinion. This is not church culture. This is Scripture interpreting Scripture.If you've ever struggled with how to live faithfully in a corrupt world system, this episode will sharpen your understanding and reset your priorities.Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts via the Nephilim Death Squad feed.Patreon (Watch Live episodes, early & ad free): https://www.patreon.com/NephilimDeathSquadWebsite & Merch: https://nephilimdeathsquad.comListen/Watch:Audio Podcast: nephilimdeathsquad.carrd.co/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NephilimDeathSquadX: https://twitter.com/NephilimDSquadInstagram: https://instagram.com/nephilimdeathsquadFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/share/1AscxBNoH4/ Contact: chroniclesnds@gmail.com TopLobsta:X: https://twitter.com/TopLobstaInstagram: https://instagram.com/TopLobstaMerch: https://TopLobsta.comRaven:X: https://twitter.com/DavidLCorboInstagram: https://instagram.com/ravenofndsMatt Hepner – The Standard Coffee:Instagram: @thestandardcoffeeWebsite: https://www.thestandardclcl.com/ Sponsors/Affiliates:Weld Protein Energy Drink: ​​Drink WeldLittle Palm Coconut Water: Little PalmMilk & Honey Coffee co: Milk & HoneyEllas Popcorn: ellaspopcorn.comRife Tech – https://realsrifetechnology.com/ (Code: NEPHILIM for 10% off)Purge Store – https://purgestore.com/ (Code: NEPHILIM for 10% off)Credits:Intro Animation: @jslashr on XMusic: @Dallas_spitfire on X | https://gmbpod.com/ 00:00 Introduction: Broken Systems in America01:07 Personal Journey with Faith and the World04:35 Experiences with Different Church Communities06:29 Defining the World in Biblical Terms10:22 The Lust of the Flesh, Eyes, and Pride of Life12:24 The Story of Jericho and the Cursed Things27:59 Lessons from the Parable of the Sower34:10 The Flow of Money and Financial Discipline34:53 Struggles of the Poor and Financial Decision Making35:45 Generational Poverty and Financial Balance37:25 The Love of Money and Spiritual Reflection40:01 Personal Journey: From Construction to Sales42:58 Balancing Wealth and Spirituality45:25 Scriptural Guidance on Worldly Temptations59:10 Meditation and Biblical Prosperity01:03:30 Spiritual Discernment and Worldly Blindness01:05:08 Understanding the God of This World01:07:04 The Story of Samuel and Israel's Demand for a King01:09:26 The 501(c)(3) Church and Modern Kings01:18:24 Jesus' Temptation and the God of This World01:27:39 Faith as the Victory Over the World01:30:13 Wisdom from Above vs. Worldly WisdomBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nephilim-death-squad-biblical-conspiracy--6389018/support.☠️ Nephilim Death Squad — New episodes 5x/week.Join our Patreon for early access, bonus shows & the private Telegram hive.Subscribe on YouTube & Rumble, follow @NephilimDSquad on X/Instagram, grab merch at toplobsta.com. Questions/bookings: chroniclesnds@gmail.com — Stay dangerous.

Many believers aren't spiritually weak because they aren't working hard enough, but because they've grown dull. In this sermon from Matthew 6:16–18 and Isaiah 58, we discover God's purpose for biblical fasting and why Jesus assumed His followers would fast, not if, but when.Using Scripture from the Old Testament, the life of Jesus, and the early church, this message explains what fasting truly is, what it is not, and how God uses it to bring freedom, healing, strength, discernment, and breakthrough. Isaiah 58 reveals that fasting is not about outward performance but inward transformation, aligning our hearts with God so He can act on our behalf.This sermon calls the church to a 21-day fast, not as a religious ritual, but as a way to sharpen our spiritual edge, humble ourselves before God, and seek renewal for our church, our families, and the salvation of souls.If your spiritual life feels exhausting, this message may show you why and how God wants to restore clarity, power, and intimacy with Him.Key Topics: Biblical Fasting, Matthew 6, Isaiah 58, Spiritual Renewal, Prayer and Fasting, Christian Disciplines, Hearing God's Voice, Breakthrough Faith, Strength Against Temptation, Churchwide Fast

In this episode of Directed Life, we explore why biblical prosperity, God's economy, and end-times prophecy are deeply connected. This conversation breaks down the difference between Kingdom prosperity and worldly financial systems, revealing how economic dependence can shape allegiance in the last days. Using Scripture from Genesis, Daniel, the Gospels, and Revelation, this episode examines themes like the Antichrist system, the mark of the beast, buying and selling, and how God designed prosperity as a covenant promise, not a prosperity-gospel distortion. We discuss why trusting God as the provider matters more than ever as global economic control increases. 

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. Join the dialogue as Remnant Radio continues to pursue that radical middle—fully open to the Holy Spirit, fully anchored in the Word.Reviewing Prophecies Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMsjeViSScFHAxEWVUTMiJvLHWHF7hOE10:00 – Introduction 4:30 – Psalm 25 and numerology-based themes for 20256:44 – “Reset of the nations” and Trump as “wartime president” 10:38 – War intensifying, spiritual warfare framing, and burdens on intercessors15:03 – Strategic-level spiritual warfare and worship/Tabernacle of David critique26:28 – “Enforcing victory,” economic collapse warnings, and Haman's sons as “principalities”48:11 – Israel, eschatology, and nationalism in prophetic words1:07:41 – Final exhortations on testing prophecySubscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach reflects on the events in Venezuela to ask a sobering biblical question: does judgment come for everyone?

Spiritual growth doesn't happen by accident. Just like our physical health requires regular checkups, our spiritual lives need honest evaluation and intentional care.In this message, we're invited to pause and examine where we truly are with God. Using Scripture as our guide, we walk through key areas of spiritual health including salvation, time with God, worship, community, serving, and generosity. The goal isn't guilt or comparison. The goal is growth.This sermon challenges us to ask better questions as we begin a new year. Not “Did I attend?” or “Did I look spiritual?” but “Am I actually growing?” Following Jesus means regularly examining our lives and choosing practices that help us mature in wisdom, faith, and obedience.If you want 2026 to be different spiritually, it starts with an honest self-check and a willingness to grow on purpose.Connect with us!Missioncity.church

As a new year begins, many people rush to make resolutions rooted in hope, emotion, and intention. In this teaching, Pastor Azizah Morrison draws a clear biblical distinction between abstract resolutions and inner resolve.Using Scripture, this lesson explores how true transformation begins with settled decisions of the heart, not temporary motivation. You will learn why so many cycles repeat, how double-mindedness produces instability, and why God emphasizes resolve over promises. From Daniel's quiet conviction in Babylon to Jesus setting His face toward Jerusalem, Scripture reveals that lasting obedience flows from inner finality.This message invites listeners to move beyond trying harder and into living governed, aligned, and spiritually settled. The teaching concludes with a prayer asking God to establish resolve within us for the year ahead.This is not a message about goals. It is a call to inner alignment.

Sermon Summary: “Who Hijacked Christmas?”   Christians Reclaimed Christmas The sermon explains that Christmas was not stolen from Christianity—Christians intentionally reclaimed it. Long before Christ, pagan cultures celebrated the winter solstice with fleshly festivals. Believers stepped into that moment and redirected the season to focus on God sending His Son. Rather than abandoning the season, the church redeemed it for truth. The Birth Matters Because the Resurrection Matters While the resurrection is the greatest event in history, the birth had to happen first. Christmas is celebrated not because of a date on the calendar, but because without the birth there is no cross, no empty tomb, and no salvation. Celebrating Christ's birth honors the beginning of God's redemptive plan. Defending the Virgin Birth A central emphasis of the sermon is the virgin birth. Jesus was not merely born—He was conceived by the Holy Spirit. This supernatural conception is essential to Christianity. If Jesus is not born of a virgin, He is not the Son of God and Christianity becomes just another religion. The church historically elevated Christmas to defend this truth when it came under attack. Jesus Is the Good Shepherd and God's Gift Through John 10 and the illustration of the candy cane, the sermon teaches that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for the sheep. The red represents His blood, the white His purity, and the shepherd's staff His care and protection. Jesus came to give abundant life and eternal life. Celebration Is Biblical Just as Israel celebrated God's miracles (such as Hanukkah), believers are encouraged to celebrate God's greatest miracle—Jesus Christ. Celebration does not equal compromise. Giving gifts reflects God's nature, because God loved and gave first. Materialism is a heart issue, not a Christmas issue. The Unseen Became Seen The sermon highlights that Christmas marks the moment when the unseen God became visible. Jesus stepped into human history, walked in our shoes, suffered, and redeemed humanity. His coming proves God did not abandon a fallen world but entered it to save it. Stand for Christ in Every Season Believers are called to stand boldly for Jesus—not just at Christmas, but in every moment of life. The world is imperfect, but Christians are light in darkness, using every opportunity to point others to Christ rather than withdrawing from culture. The Greatest Gift Still Offered The message concludes by reminding listeners that Jesus is still healing, delivering, restoring, and saving. He is the Anointed One who sets captives free. Christmas ultimately declares that God sent His Son as a ransom, offering forgiveness, healing, and eternal life to all who believe.     This sermon explains that Christians did not lose Christmas—they redeemed it. While many cultures celebrated pagan festivals around the winter solstice, believers intentionally reclaimed the season to celebrate the greatest gift ever given: Jesus Christ. Though Jesus was likely not born in December, the timing does not diminish the meaning. The focus is on why we celebrate, not the calendar date. The message emphasizes that the birth of Jesus is essential, because without the birth there could be no death, resurrection, or salvation. Christmas matters because it defends the virgin birth, which confirms Jesus as the only begotten Son of God, distinct from every other religious leader. If the virgin birth is denied, Christianity collapses into just another religion. Using Scripture from Isaiah, Luke, and John, the sermon highlights Jesus as the Good Shepherd, the Anointed One (Messiah), and God's help sent into the world. His supernatural conception, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection reveal that the unseen God became seen in human form. The sermon challenges believers not to abandon Christmas because of materialism or cultural misuse. A fallen world will always distort good things, but that does not negate truth. Instead, Christians are called to stand up in every moment—holidays, workplaces, families, and culture—to proclaim Christ. The message closes with a call to endurance and bold faith, urging believers to let God heal their wounds, stop focusing on imperfections, and consistently testify that Jesus is the Son of God, born of a virgin, crucified, resurrected, and still saving today. Christmas is not about traditions—it is about celebrating God's greatest gift to humanity.

The Right & Wrong Alignments | The Todd Coconato Show  Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give TODAY ON THE TODD COCONATO SHOW The Right and Wrong Alignments As we move closer to 2026, one of the most critical areas believers must gain clarity in is alignment. Who you walk with will determine how far you go, how strong you stand, and how clearly you hear the voice of God in the next season. Not every relationship is meant to continue, and not every door that opens is sent by the Lord. In today's broadcast, Pastor Todd breaks down the biblical truth about right and wrong alignments and why God often requires separation before promotion. Using Scripture, discernment, and real life wisdom, he explains how to recognize who you are meant to partner with and who you are meant to bless and release. The Bible is very clear that alignment affects destiny, peace, fruitfulness, and spiritual authority, especially as we step into a more demanding and decisive season. This message will help you understand why some relationships bring strength while others bring strain, why certain connections sharpen your calling while others slowly drain it, and how God uses alignment to prepare His people for what is ahead. If you want to step into 2026 positioned, focused, and walking with the right people around you, this is a broadcast you do not want to miss. Very important broadcast.

In this message, we explore The Power of Revelation—how God's revealed truth brings light, clarity, and direction to our lives. Revelation is not just information; it is God uncovering what was hidden so we can walk in understanding and purpose. Using Scripture, we see that revelation exposes what is concealed, brings understanding even to the simple, guides us into God's purpose, and ultimately calls for a response from us. From Simeon's declaration in Luke to the response of the wise men in Matthew, this message reminds us that when God reveals Himself, we are invited to see, understand, and act. Key Scriptures: Luke 2:32 Luke 12:2 Psalm 119:130 Ephesians 1:17 Matthew 2:11 May this message encourage you to seek God's revelation, receive His wisdom, and respond with faith and obedience.

This Christmas Eve, Pastor Nate reminds us that the birth of Jesus is more than a familiar story — it is the moment God stepped into our world to realign our hearts with what we were truly made for. Using Scripture, the imagery of a wandering compass, and the breathtaking truth of God's relentless love, this message invites us to rediscover Jesus as our True North — the only One who can satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts. Whether you're feeling off-course or simply ready for a renewed sense of joy and direction, this message points us back to the good news of great joy: a Savior has been born, and He has come to bring us home.

In this eye-opening message, Pastor Jentezen Franklin teaches how the Jezebel spirit operates through manipulation, control, intimidation, and deception, often working quietly behind the scenes to undermine God-given authority and silence truth. Using Scripture, he explains how compromise, fear of confrontation, and lack of discernment allow this spirit to gain influence in lives, families, and even churches.With our studio kitties listening in

CHRISTMASThis morning we are going to look into and see if Jesus or as I like to say Yahshua Messiah, was born on December 25. Now I realize that within the Church world that it is taught that Jesus/Yahshua was born on December 25. But is that correct?Using Scripture from Yahweh's Word we will find out the truth on this subject. And then my friends you must draw your own conclusion. Keep in mind the words of Yahweh; Colossians 2:8, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Yahshua Messiah.” Luke 1   Luke meaning “Light Giver”5)  Herod = “hero-likeZacharias = “Yah has remembered” Elisabeth = “El of Oath”. Her son being that oath and promise  Abijah = “My Father is Yahweh” What is this course? This is the 8th course of 24. In which King David set up at his time of rule. Read 1 Chro. 24, especially verse 10. According to custom, each of the Priests must officiate for one full week in the Temple of Yahweh. The courses started at the first New Moon of the first month of the Jewish Civil Year. Now knowing this, Zacharias course fell on our June 13-19. This period of time important, for this sets the time of the birth and conception of John and His cousin Yahshua, our Saviour23           days = his week of June 20th. Note Zacharias lived app. 30 miles from the Temple. For a man his age, it took him 2 days to walk home, therefore making the date around June 22-23.24  after = “meta” association and companionship [relating to the events of Zacharias upon his arrival hom conceived = possibly June 23 or 24 hid = completely secluded. Probably to avoid all possibility of uncleanness, as in Judges 13:4-7, 12-14 five months = Nov. 2426  sixth month = Dec. 25  Galilee = “circuit” This name, which in the Roman age was applied to a large province, seems to have been originally confined to a little “circuit” of country around Kedesh-Naphtali, in which were situated the 20 towns given by Solomon to Hiram king of Tyre as payment for his work in conveying timber from Lebanon to Jerusalem. Joshua 20:7; 1 Kings 9:11 Nazareth = “the guarded one”36  cousin = therefore Mary must have some Levite blood within her.6th month = being the 24 or 25 of our December Take note both of these pregnancies are perfect. For they are from Yahweh! So therefore, Yahshua was conceived 6 months AFTER John, so this conception would be on Dec. 25!57  full time = a perfect 280 day's, March 28-29Luke 24  went up = literally true, the ascent from Nazareth to Jerusalem being at least 1500 feet.Joseph = increaseGalilee = “circuit” those 20 cities given to King of Tyre from SolomonNazareth = “the guarded one” City of David = also called Zion Bethlehem = “House of Bread” House of David = that King line out of Judah7   On that 1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles, Tishri 15th. This is why Yahshua is our true Tabernacle [Hebrews 8:2]. Now, this would have been on our Sept. 29, 4 BC manger = crib11  is born this day = That 1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles [go to charts of the calendars]in the city of David = BethlehemThe conception of John the Baptist on or about 23rd SIVAN = June 24 | in the year 5 B.C.The Gennesis (Begetting) of our Lord on or about 1st TEBETH = December 25 | in the year 5 B.C. The birth of John the Baptist on or about 4th–7th NISAN = March 25-28 in the year 4 B.C. The birth of our Lord on or about 15th TISRI = September 29 in the year 4 B.C.Have any questions?

Send us a textIn this episode of The Public Square on the Pursuing Faith Network, Iggy and Mike continue the conversation on biblical masculinity—but this time by looking at what manhood is not.They react to a viral moment involving Myron Gaines, where a man approaches him and admits that after following his advice, he felt empty, disconnected, and even led into sin. Rather than taking responsibility for the message he promotes, accountability is deflected—and that moment opens the door to a much deeper conversation.Iggy and Mike unpack why so many men are drawn to self-centered versions of masculinity, how “me-first” teaching leads to emptiness, and why strength without humility and submission to God will always fall short. Using Scripture, discernment, and real-life experience, they contrast culture's definition of manhood with the biblical standard that actually brings life, purpose, and freedom.This episode isn't about attacking people—it's about protecting men from messages that promise fulfillment but deliver emptiness.

In this episode, Michael breaks down why daily prayer isn't optional—it's spiritual protection. Using Scripture as a battle plan, he shows how to stay “prayed up,” shut down the enemy's assignments, and walk into your day with clarity, peace, and authority.

"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." What if the organizations so many celebrate as symbols of unity, legacy, and purpose… are actually part of something much deeper—something unseen? In this revelatory message, Pavielle Bee exposes how Satan has weaponized deception to make spiritual bondage appear beautiful and allegiance to darkness look like empowerment. Using Scripture and insights, I uncover a strategy the enemy has been perfecting for generations—a war waged in plain sight, disguised as community, culture, and pride. This teaching explores: ✅ How spiritual warfare operates through deception and agreement ✅ The hidden power of vows, oaths, and rituals many overlook ✅ Why some believers unknowingly defend what's actually opposing God ✅ How to recognize when you're part of something that looks godly but isn't ✅ The path to true freedom and spiritual clarity "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." — Sun Tzu The question is… what if that war has already reached you?   NEXT STEP TO DISCOVERING GOD'S PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE

In this powerful episode 120 of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim tackle a question that's dividing many church leaders today: Should churches delete their social media? Is it a modern-day mission field—a place to reach the lost where they already are—or a minefield filled with distraction, comparison, and temptation?Tim argues that social media remains one of the greatest outreach tools of our time, a place where light can shine in dark spaces if used wisely. He believes the church must show up where the people are—online—and steward that influence for the Gospel. Drew, on the other hand, shares his growing conviction that God may be calling his church away from these platforms altogether. With rising anxiety, digital addiction, and performative faith, is it time for churches to reclaim focus and move back toward in-person community and discipleship?Together, they explore the tension between digital relevance and spiritual integrity—between engagement and distraction. Using Scripture, real-world data, and ministry experience, Drew and Tim wrestle with what faithful stewardship looks like in the digital age. Should the church remain on platforms owned by secular corporations—or build its own spaces to connect and communicate?This episode will challenge how you view your church's online presence—and help you discern whether your digital strategy is expanding God's kingdom or simply feeding the algorithm.Check out our brand-new merch store! ⁠⁠https://eyesonjesuspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/⁠⁠Get all our links in one easy place! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/eyesonjesuspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get the Eyes on Jesus 90 Day Discernment Devotional⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://a.co/d/3v8963s⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Group on Facebook- Eyes on Jesus podcast community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/eyesonjesuspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email feedback, questions or show topic ideas to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠eyesonjesuspodcast@outlook.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Drew Barker: Follow Drew on ⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pastordrewbarker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Drew's church's website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://yes.online/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Tim Ferrara: ⁠ ⁠ Get all his links in one place- to his social media, all 3 of his books, and more ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/discerning_dad⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
