Hardwired with Jeff Wickwire

Have you ever experienced false teachers in your walk with Jesus? Have you ever been unsure of what to believe in our rapidly evolving world? Today in his message, Pastor Jeff shows you the importance of weeding out bad teachings. When someone claims to be a prophet or have alternative knowledge beyond the Bible, it’s not a good sign. Turn to God’s Word first in everything you do and be reassured...

When you accepted Jesus into your life, did you realize the deepness of His promises? Did you know that He’s always had a divine purpose for your life? Today in his message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that you must never forget God’s beautiful plans. No matter how sure you may be of what you’re supposed to do, it’ll never trump what He has in store. Remain vigilant to God’s still, small voice a...

Think of the past sins of your life, especially those that came before you knew the love of Jesus. They mark your past like scars on a burn victim, they may never fully heal. But yet, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that in the eyes of God, you have been justified and sanctified. Your past no longer defines you, but rather you have been made into a new creation by the blood of Jesus. Don’t dwell on...

How many sources of absolute truth can you think of off the top of your head? You won’t be able to come up with more than one! The Bible is the ultimate source of truth because it is the inspired word of God. Pastor Jeff wants you to be sure today that when you hear the word of God, you can trust it to be true, and you can trust the wisdom within to be applicable to the modern day. When you addres...

One of the reasons you can trust Scripture as deeply as you do is that there is a high amount of confidence that the Bible has been accurately preserved for millennia. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that there are hundreds of manuscripts dating back to 100 AD, and the accuracy of the transcriptions means that the ancient scribes did a fantastic job preserving these texts. When you are reading Scrip...

Have you ever read a ridiculous claim about someone online, only to find out later on that there were details that were made up that spoil the whole story? Well, Pastor Jeff argues today that the book of Enoch doesn’t belong in the canon of the Bible because of some of the outlandish claims that it makes. Enoch may be a valuable text from the ancient world, but the inconsistencies with the rest of...

Have you ever heard the song, “Jesus Take the Wheel”? It’s a song about someone surrendering control of their life in a moment of crisis. But Pastor Jeff wants you to know that if you want to resist the desires of your flesh, you can’t just surrender to God when things are hard, and expect to see lasting change in your life. The Lord wants you to give up control of your life when things are going...

In a world of rapidly evolving standards, what are we supposed to do as Christians? Do we let certain beliefs infiltrate who we are? Or do we cling to what we know to be true? Today in his message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that no matter what the world throws at you, nothing matters more than remaining true to God’s Word. When you’re unsure of what to believe, start there. The wisdom of man w...

In our world today, it’s easy to live a life full of double standards. We live in a culture that says it’s okay to do what you want to do, so long as we know who God is, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Today, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that when you give your life to Jesus, you make a commitment to live a life set apart from the rest of the world. The more you remain entrenched in...

Do you ever wonder why you still desire to do sinful things? Well, Pastor Jeff gives you the comfort that this is a deeply human experience. Even though you are a child of God, you are undergoing the process of sanctification. You don’t instantly become righteous with the flip of a switch, you have to train yourself over a long time to squash those sinful desires. But the work of sanctification is...

In a restaurant environment, employees are taught to take many steps to avoid outside contamination. The smallest contaminant can ruin a batch of food due to the risk of illness. Well, a holy lifestyle can be contaminated by outside sources as well. Pastor Jeff teaches about how the family line of Seth, who followed and obeyed God, began to intermingle with the family line of Cain, who lived in si...

Do the long lists of names in Biblical genealogies make you drowsy? It can be difficult to find meaning in a list of names of people who lived thousands of years ago. But Pastor Jeff gives you a compelling reason to take genealogies seriously in today’s message: they help you trace the lineage of Biblical figures from Adam all the way to Jesus Christ. By looking at the lineage of people who were b...

When you purchase something at the store, you’re usually offered a receipt as proof of your purchase. It proves to the other store employees that the items you bought belong to you, and were paid for with some kind of currency. Well, Satan may try to lay claim to the souls of believers, but Pastor Jeff reminds you that you have been bought and paid for! Jesus purchased your salvation with His bloo...

Do you believe that you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes your parents did? Maybe there are a lot of people in your family that struggle with addiction, or with abusive tendencies, and you think that you will end up just like them. Well, Pastor Jeff assures you today that Scripture doesn’t teach that those curses are handed down by God. Rather, if you repeat your family’s mistakes, you will b...

When the darkness of this world consumes you, do you forsake the name of Jesus? When disaster is at its peak, do you curse Him? or worship Him anyways? Today in his message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that when you stand firm for God’s Gospel, you store up treasures in Heaven. Even when it seems impossible, God will always come through. Let Him do wonders in your life and be forever changed by...

It’s safe to say that as Christians, we’ve all been persecuted at one time or another. No matter if it’s our family members or someone from the internet, adversity in our faith can’t be avoided. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that in the midst the world’s mistreatment of Christians lies an eternal promise: you are saved by God’s grace. When the world is relentlessly tearing you...

One of the easiest ways to avoid spreading false rumors about someone is to bring things up with them in private. By taking the hard step to talk to your neighbor about an offense or a disagreement, you give yourself and your neighbor the opportunity to understand each other, and to get ahead of any potential conflict that the enemy may be trying to draw out of you. Pastor Jeff teaches you today t...

To Satan, you’re nothing more than a pawn. He doesn’t care about you, but he wants to use you to sow division within the body of Christ. And Pastor Jeff reminds you that the enemy will pit you against those closest to you, to split up families and friends. Because when believers are isolated from each other, it is easier for them to fall away from the path of Jesus, and back into lives of sin. Whe...

Do you remember what your life was like before you knew Christ? Did you feel the pull that Jesus had on your life, the people that He placed in your path to lead you to a relationship with Him? Well, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that you may be part of God’s plan to bring someone else into the flock of Christ. You can’t know how or when it’s going to happen, but the important thing is for you to...

Have you ever had a puppy follow you around everywhere you go? Even when you try to use the bathroom or leave the house, the puppy never wants to leave your side. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that in many ways, Jesus pursues you like an affectionate pet, but instead of Him needing something from you, He stays with you because you need something from Him. The presence of Jesus is what fuels...

Nowhere in Scripture does it say that the Christian life is going to be easy? In fact, there are many examples in the Bible of people suffering and even dying for their faith. But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that God gives you the strength to not only endure the trials but to thrive and even grow because of them. When you are weary and beaten down by the world, remember that God is on your side,...

Of all the religions in the world, there is only one that worships a living, breathing God: Christianity. Even when there’s a living prophet or “guru,” they themselves always die. Today in his message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that if you want to worship a God who’s alive and never passing away, give your heart to Jesus. There’s no prophet, statue, or golden plates from the forest that will s...

Have you been comfortable with sitting on the sidelines? Have you been getting used to waiting in the wings instead of putting in the work for God’s kingdom? In today’s message from Pastor Jeff, he shows you the dire importance of being on the field for Jesus. He doesn’t want the army reserves, He wants active soldiers, battle-tested in the spiritual trenches. Change the trajectory of your life by...

Do you have the courage to lay down your life for the Gospel? Well, Pastor Jeff thinks it’s a pretty difficult thing for anyone to be willing to do. But the courage that Jesus gives you is strong enough to overcome any punishment or consequence mankind can dream up. Fear comes from the enemy, and Satan would like no more than for you to cower and hide away from opposition, so that your light may b...

What does Pastor Jeff mean when he calls the Bible a great sword but a terrible club? It means that Scripture is great for teaching and correction, but shouldn’t be used for personal arguments or to win an argument out of anger. God’s word is much too valuable to be used to tear down your neighbor. Rather, you should be going into God’s word alongside your neighbor, and finding ways to build each...
