Today’s episode — “As Far as It Depends on You” — is a challenge from the Apostle Paul that feels almost impossible in our world today. We live in a culture of outrage, division, and noise. Everyone’s shouting — but few are listening. Everyone’s fighting — but few are standing for truth with peace in their heart. Romans 12:18 says, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace wit...

Because what happened back then — is happening again. The same pressure to bow. The same attempt to silence faith. The same call to compromise what’s holy.

And today, I want to call you into something ancient — something burning, holy, and alive. Something forged long before modern man began measuring time by clocks and calendars. We’re talking about the rhythm of heaven — the sacred order of days and seasons through which God trains His warriors and sanctifies His people. This is not about being “religious.” It’s about being formed. It’s about recla...

The world around us urges us to “find our tribe” — to gather with those who understand us, who think like we do, who affirm who we are. And that longing is real. But have you ever wondered why we long for it so deeply? Why our souls ache to belong? It’s because that desire — that instinct to be part of something greater than ourselves — isn’t just human culture. It’s divine imprint. It’s God’s ver...

Today, we’re diving into a question that lies at the heart of everything we believe, confess, and live by: What is sin? But before we go back to the ancient text, I want to start right here — in our time — in the way we often misunderstand sin. I saw a meme recently that said: “Society is just sinners judging other sinners for sinning differently.” That hit me hard. Because it’s true, isn’t it? In...

This one comes straight from the heart, because today… we’re talking about our favorite hymns . Not just mine — but my bride’s as well. Music, as we know, is one of God’s greatest gifts to His people. Luther himself said, “Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.” And I think he was right. Hymns are more than just melodies — they are sermons set to son...

Today’s episode — number 133 — is titled “Faith That Stands in the Fire.” It’s taken from 1 Thessalonians, chapter 2 , and it’s about boldness in the face of persecution, truth over popularity, and joy that comes when faith endures the test. The Apostle Paul and his young companion Timothy had been through the wringer. They had been beaten, imprisoned, mocked, and warned to keep quiet. But instead...

This episode is dedicated to every first-born son listening — whether you’re a young man just finding your footing, or a seasoned warrior of faith who’s carried the weight of leadership your whole life. From the beginning, God set apart the first-born — both human and animal — as His own. The first-born belongs to Him. And when we understand what that truly means, we begin to see how it all points...

Crusaders I am so sorry for the volume issue in this episode of my #1 Grandson. After the first five minutes I went old school and used my speaker on my phone holding it up to the mic, and that helped. I am proud of this 12-year-old who is growing and will be an awesome man in the short future.

Today’s episode is called “Iron Sharpens Iron — Challenge Accepted.” That comes from Proverbs 27:17 (NASB): “Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” It’s a simple verse — short enough to memorize in a breath — yet it carries a lifetime of meaning. It tells us that the Christian Walk isn’t passive. It’s not about sitting still and hoping things improve. No, we’re called to be sharpened —...

Today’s episode 129 is titled ‘Resist the Life of Ease.’ Our age tempts us to choose comfort, convenience, and passivity over endurance, diligence, and courage. But the Scriptures call us to something higher — to share in the life of Christ, to be strengthened by grace, and to become faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to us. We will look at three themes: How to handle life’s challenges wi...

Our forty years of experience in marriage with some practical do's and don'ts. Ya, some are pretty simple, but hey, I'm a slow learner!

We live in a time when believers are tempted to shrink back. But Scripture calls us to stand up, armor up, and fight the good fight. Paul tells Timothy: “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called.” (1 Timothy 6:12, ESV) This is not about fists or politics — this is about spiritual combat. Let’s learn together how to fight as God’s warriors.

“Revival without the Bible is not revival. Emotion without repentance is not conversion. Church without Christ crucified is not the Church. Be alert, test everything against the Word, and cling to Christ alone.”

God created us for Eden — fellowship with Him.• Sin cast us out of Eden, separating us from life. God began pointing us toward restoration through covenant promises. The Passover showed deliverance through the blood of the lamb. Jesus is the Lamb of God who opens the way back to Eden. The resurrection is the dawn of the new creation — the garden restored. Salvation is by grace through faith, not b...

Today’s episode is one that’s been on my heart for a while. We’re going to talk about the story of Israel — a people rescued from bondage, brought through the wilderness, and called to be a nation set apart for God’s purposes. And we’re going to look at how that story mirrors the journey of the United States of America. Yes, our nation — imperfect as it is — was founded on Christian principles. Me...

It’s a phrase I’ve used before, but today, I want us to sit in it and wrestle with it. Because it really captures the tension we’re living in right now. On one hand, we have the timeless wisdom of Scripture—commandments, practices, and rhythms God gave to His people not just for holiness, but also for health, strength, and well-being. On the other hand, we have the arrogance of modern man. We beli...

The title for today says it all: “I’m Mad at Hell, and I Ain’t Going to Take It Anymore!” This episode is a call — not to lawlessness, not to vengeance, but to holy, disciplined, and resolute action . We will stoke the fire of righteous indignation, polish the sword of God’s Word, and issue marching orders for every believer who will stand for the innocent. Before we go any further, let me be plai...

is Part Three of our Truth Series. We’ve asked: How did we get here? in Episode 119. We’ve looked at The Cost of Rebellion in Episode 120. And tonight — we get practical. Because knowing truth is not enough. Even defending truth is not enough. We must walk in truth. This episode is called: Walking in Truth — How to Live Like God’s Word Is Real. ”

Part Two of our Truth Series. Last time, we asked: How did we get here? We traced the journey from Eden’s first lie, through the chaos of today, to the world we now see — divided, confused, desperate for answers. Tonight we dig deeper. Because truth is not just a theory. Rejecting truth has a cost. And rebellion against God doesn’t end with freedom — it ends with chains. This episode is called: Th...

Today we begin a brand-new three-part series on Truth. Not the watered-down, feel-good slogans the world throws at you. Not the half-truths of politicians. But the truth of God’s Word — the only truth that holds this world together. This first episode is titled: How Did We Get Here? How did we get from a garden where humanity walked with God, to a world divided by war, deception, and hostility? Ho...

The shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk has shaken us to our core. It was a brutal act meant to silence, meant to instill fear, meant to remind us that we live in a fallen and broken world. But here’s the truth: as believers, as followers of Jesus Christ, we cannot — we must not — turn away from this moment. This is not just politics. This is not just tragedy. This is spiritual warfare. Today,...

We’ve seen that purpose is not hidden—it’s already revealed in Christ. We’ve seen that purpose plays out through our vocations, our daily callings, our unique gifts. But now comes the challenge: how do we live this purpose boldly? How do we stand firm in a world that constantly tries to distract, confuse, and redefine us? Let’s dive in. Call or text us at 260-267-0414 Follow us on Facebook, YouTub...

Last time, we tore down the illusion—that purpose is something we have to chase, like a hidden treasure map. We saw from scripture that God is not a God of confusion, that He created us intentionally and without mistakes, and that our purpose is already revealed in Christ. Today, we’re going deeper. We’re going to talk about how God reveals purpose in our lives—not just in broad strokes, but in th...
