Hardwired with Jeff Wickwire

Do you wish you knew more about how God is going to resolve the world’s problems? Wouldn’t it be easier to go through life knowing how everything is going to pan out? Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that it’s not your job to know how and when things are happening. In fact, only God has the full picture of what is going on in the world. Your job, as difficult as it may seem, is to rest in the p...

Is the God you serve a real God or a figment of your imagination? You’d better figure that out while you still have time because Pastor Jeff reminds you that every other god besides the one true God is a false one, and they will leave you high and dry when you need them the most. Instead, look at the example of Daniel, who had been given the power to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream by the Go...

Standing up for what is right may not be an easy task. It’s like trying to swim upstream in a river, it feels like the whole world is trying to push you in the opposite direction. But Pastor Jeff encourages you today to stay the course. If you are really standing for the truth, God will be with you, and He will bless you even more down the road. Daniel and his friends gave up rich food and good wi...

King Nebuchadnezzar was a wise, if evil, ruler. He knew that the way to truly conquer the nation of Israel was not just to take their land, but to squeeze out their culture by forcing them to assimilate into the pagan Babylonian society.

He will never leave your side and is always working everything for your goo...

Earthquakes, hurricanes, and all kinds of natural disasters can pommel a building and push its foundation to its limits. It takes lots of engineering to make a large building be stable. Well, Pastor Jeff warns you today that just like those buildings, your foundation will be tested as well. If you don’t build a strong foundation on the rock of Christ, you don’t stand a chance against what is comin...

The whole point of the Sermon on the Mount was for Jesus to show the people listening to Him how they could live a life that was pleasing to God, and how they needed a Savior to rescue them from the punishment of death and sin. When you build your life on the teachings of Jesus, you can withstand the storms and the struggles that the world will use to try and knock you down. But if you build your...

The day is coming when every person who has ever lived will stand before God to give an account of how they lived their life on Earth. Unfortunately, there are many who will point to their accomplishments and faithfulness as their reason why they should be allowed into Heaven, instead of acknowledging that the only thing that can buy their salvation is the blood of Jesus. Pastor Jeff doesn’t want...

When you look at a famous Christian teacher on social media, what is their content primarily focused on? Pastor Jeff wants you to be aware of false prophets because, in this day, there are countless people trying to make a career by telling people how God wants them to live, without backing up their claims in Scripture. Instead, you should be looking to the Bible to read the words of Jesus for you...

When’s the last time you truly progressed in your faith? For some, maybe it was earlier today, for others, maybe it’s never happened. Today, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that no matter where you stand in your faith, you should always be striving to move forward.

Sin is a disease that has infected all of mankind, but it’s easy to point out the sin in other people’s lives without addressing what is going on in our own hearts.

Instead of just judging people in order to make you feel better about yourself, use your judg...

Worry is a tricky thing to deal with. It really is another word for fear, because, in the end, you worry about something because you fear the outcome that it may have in your life. You worry about finances because you fear poverty, you worry about your relationships because you fear loneliness. But Pastor Jeff reminds you today to not worry about the things of this world because God has you in the...

There are many philanthropists in the world who give large amounts of money to good causes, but many of them attach their names to their efforts to gain attention from it.

Instead, you should seek to bring glory to your Father in Heaven with your actions. He is...

When you do good things, who are you seeking to please? Pastor Jeff points out how the Pharisees used to make grand gestures with their prayer, fasting, and giving in order to look good in front of people, but Jesus warned that their reward wouldn’t matter in Heaven. Rather, do what you do to bring glory and honor to God, and see how He can reward you for your efforts. Do you want to build up brow...

Have you ever wished your enemies would just drop dead? Wouldn’t it be better if they just ceased to give you trouble, and went away forever?
