Unfiltered Christianity

In the fourth and final episode of our Holy Spirit series, we follow the Spirit from the formation of the early church in Acts to the aching cry of Revelation: Come, Lord Jesus. The Holy Spirit is not a formula to repeat, a system to control, or merely a source of power to access. He is the living presence of God within His people, leading, comforting, correcting, empowering, and drawing the Churc...

In this episode of Unfiltered Christianity , Joey and Victoria continue their series on the Holy Spirit by tracing one breathtaking thread through Scripture: the Spirit has always been moving, hovering, brooding, searching, and bringing forth life where there was none. From the Spirit hovering over the waters in creation, to the dove sent out from Noah's ark looking for a place to rest, to the Spi...

In this episode of  Unfiltered Christianity , we continue our series on the Holy Spirit by tracing His movement through the Old Testament. From creation to the tabernacle, from Bezalel's craftsmanship to Samson's strength, from David's longing to Saul's downfall, we see a Spirit who was never absent, but always moving, hovering, filling, empowering, and searching for a place to rest. Before Pentec...

In this episode of Unfiltered Christianity , we begin a new conversation on the Holy Spirit: the mysterious, active, life-giving presence of God. From the opening pages of Scripture, we see the Spirit of God hovering over the waters, brooding over what was "without form and void," bringing life, movement, and order out of chaos. Together, we wrestle with the language of "Holy Spirit," "Holy Ghost,...

In this episode of Unfiltered Christianity , we continue the conversation around soul work: the practice of slowing down, turning inward, and learning to listen to what your soul is actually carrying without judgment. Joey and the team explore how our hearts quietly form conclusions through pain, disappointment, jealousy, fear, and unmet expectations, and how God meets us there with truth, compass...

Christ Unites His Body to Himself explores the ache, longing, and holy tension of the Church living between what has already been accomplished and what has not yet been fully revealed. In Christ, we have already been raised and seated with Him in the heavenly places, as Paul says in Ephesians 2:6 , but we still groan for the fullness of union that is to come. We are not waiting to become His. We a...

This episode moves beyond the crucifixion and into the staggering implications of Christ's resurrection, ascension, and the birth of the Church as His living Body on the earth. What happened when Jesus rose from the grave was not merely resuscitation. Scripture reveals something entirely new: a glorified body, a resurrected humanity, and the beginning of a new creation. We explore the difference b...

In the second episode of our "Body of Christ" series, we move from the mystery of the incarnation into the mystery of communion, crucifixion, and union. If the first episode explored the staggering reality that "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:14), this episode asks an even deeper question: How did His body become us? At the center of Christianity is not merely a teaching, but a...

In this first episode of our series on "The Body of Christ," we begin with the most foundational and often overlooked meaning of that phrase: the actual, physical body of Jesus. Before the Body of Christ can be understood as the Church on the earth, and before we can grasp the mystery of the Bride seated with Christ in glory, we have to first return to the wonder of the incarnation. God did not re...

This episode is for the moments when you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or quietly falling apart and start to wonder what's wrong with you spiritually. Looking at God's response to Elijah in 1 Kings 19, we see something very different than what many of us have been taught. Before correction, before instruction, before any kind of spiritual fixing, God meets him in his physical and emotional need wit...

What does it actually mean to "wait on the Lord"? In this episode, the conversation moves past clichés and into something far more real: waiting not as inactivity, but as a posture of deep trust. Through honest dialogue and lived experience, this episode unpacks the tension of waiting, the space between what God has promised in His character and what hasn't yet shown up in reality. Drawing from Th...

Pain is real, but the story we build around it can quietly shape who we believe we are. In this episode, we unpack what we're calling "the pain story," the internal narrative that forms after painful experiences. It's not the pain itself, but the conclusions we draw from it that can begin to define us. Left unchecked, those conclusions can integrate into our identity, shaping how we see ourselves,...

In this final episode of the silence series, we explore a paradox that has the power to reshape how we understand connection with God and with each other. Silence is often seen as something personal, even isolating, yet when it is entered into together, it becomes a place of profound unity. This conversation unpacks the difference between solitude and silence, revealing why God is not only calling...

Drawing from Isaiah 58 and lived experience, this episode explores how the true fast God desires is not about outward denial, but inward transformation. In a world where our deepest cravings are no longer for food but for noise, validation, productivity, and...

What happens when everything that demands something from you is stripped away? Not just your schedule, but your voice, your roles, your need to respond, perform, and produce. What's left when you are no longer being something for someone else? In this episode, we step into silence, not as a concept, but as an invitation. An invitation to come away. To leave behind the noise, the pressure, the cons...

What if the goal was never to "get over" your pain? We live in a world that tells us to move on, stay strong, and push through, but pain doesn't disappear just because you ignore it. It settles. It shapes you. And if it's not faced, it spills out into everything around you. In this episode of Unfiltered Christianity, we step into a more honest conversation about pain, not as something to avoid, bu...

Discipleship is one of the most central callings of the Christian life, yet in many ways it has become misunderstood, diluted, or reduced within modern church culture. Too often, it is treated like a curriculum to complete, a class to attend, or a program to move through, when in Scripture it looks far more relational, personal, and transformative. In this episode, we unpack why true discipleship...

In this episode of Unfiltered Christianity , we take an honest look at one of the most subtle and destructive forces that can enter the life of faith: legalism. What often begins as a sincere desire to honor God can slowly transform into something very different. Rules replace relationship. Performance replaces intimacy. And the freedom Jesus purchased for us becomes buried under expectations we w...

There has always been a longing inside the church, a quiet groaning for something more real, more pure, more alive. The Unveiling is a conversation about that longing. Through honest dialogue about church history, spiritual identity, maturity, and the work of the Holy Spirit, we explore how the bride of Christ became veiled, not through one dramatic fall, but through subtle shifts, systems, perfor...

In this episode of Unfiltered Christianity , we enter into the sacred and often misunderstood theme of unveiling the bride . Beginning with Revelation 19 and moving through the story of Lazarus, this conversation explores the way God has been partnering with His people throughout history, not to repair what is broken, but to reveal what is already true. At the heart of this episode is a deeply per...

"Glory" is one of those words we use constantly in church, spoken, sung, prayed, yet rarely paused over. In this episode, we slow the pace and ask an honest question:  what are we actually talking about when we say "glory"? Drawing from Scripture, lived encounters with God, and everyday human experiences of beauty, awe, and power, we explore glory as something weighty, something that humbles us, o...

In this episode, we step into one of the most profound, and often intimidating topics in Christian theology: the Trinity. Rather than trying to define or solve it, we approach the Trinity as Scripture presents it, an expression of God's nature, not a theological equation to crack. We explore how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit operate in perfect unity, self-giving love, and mutual submission, from cr...

What if deliverance isn't a spectacle, a formula, or a dramatic moment—but a quiet, ongoing work of God restoring your identity? In this episode, we unpack how Christian culture has often sensationalized "deliverance," turning it into systems, scripts, and spiritual theatrics that look very different from what we see modeled in Scripture. Instead of focusing on what people are delivered from , we...

Conviction and repentance are often used interchangeably—but they are not the same thing, and confusing them can lead to shame, striving, and spiritual exhaustion. In this episode, we explore how conviction is initiated by the Holy Spirit , not by self-condemnation or willpower. Conviction brings awareness, light, and truth without shame.  Repentance, on the other hand, is our response : a turning...

Most people avoid conviction—yet Jesus said it would be one of the Holy Spirit's primary works. "When He comes, He will convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment."  John 16:8 In this episode, we unpack why the word conviction carries so much fear and misunderstanding, and how it has often been confused with guilt, shame, condemnation, or religious pressure. We explore the diffe...
