Beyond Sunday

Send us Fan Mail A hardened heart doesn’t happen overnight. Pastor Lee Day sits down with George Lamb for a raw Christian testimony that starts with early faith, a painful moment of church hurt at 16, and a decades-long drift into alcohol, pride, and a double life. George describes what it looks like to keep it together at work while living in chaos at home, and how feeding the flesh never satisfi...

Send us Fan Mail Antichrist is one of those words people whisper about, argue over, or avoid altogether but the Bible speaks about it with startling simplicity. Pastor Lee Day opens 1 John 2 and shows why John ties antichrist to denial, especially denying that Jesus is the Christ. That focus changes everything, because it moves the conversation from speculation to discipleship: truth matters, conf...

Send us Fan Mail Every Christian says they believe in sharing the gospel, but a lot of us get quiet the second we’re outside church. That silence isn’t just “personality” or “being private” it’s often fear, shame, or the feeling that someone else will do it. Pastor Lee Day sits down with Ken Napier to talk plainly about what Jesus actually commands and what it looks like on a normal Tuesday. We gr...

Send us Fan Mail You can’t rebuild what you won’t face, and the hardest part of a comeback is admitting you’re hungry in the far country. We open Luke 15 and walk through the prodigal son’s turning point, the moment Scripture says he “came to himself.” That single phrase becomes our map for spiritual renewal, because real change starts when we stop blaming, stop forcing the wrong life to work, and...

Send us Fan Mail No room for Jesus sounds like an ancient Bethlehem problem until you realize how often we repeat it with a modern twist: a full calendar, a crowded mind, and a life that feels too packed to rearrange. We’re calling this one “Throne Room To No Room,” and we’re getting painfully honest about what happens when the Savior becomes an afterthought instead of the center. We start in Luke...

Send us Fan Mail Some seasons feel like a slimy pit: you’re trying to climb, you can’t get traction, and you start to wonder if you’ll ever get out. We open Psalm 40 and follow David’s words from that exact place, where he cries out, waits patiently, and then gets lifted up by God and set on a rock with secure steps. That single image becomes a roadmap for anyone who needs Christian encouragement,...

Send us Fan Mail Are you making Jesus known?  On this episode, we evaluate the truth, that people walking and living life all around us, have never had anyone share the Gospel message of Jesus Christ with them.  Listen to this episode and see how the Word of God can impact your life, as well as those around you, right now.    Support the show

Send us Fan Mail A prostitute ends up in the Bible’s “faith hall of fame” and that’s exactly why Rahab’s story hits so hard. We open Hebrews 11:31 and sit with the uncomfortable, hopeful truth: God doesn’t wait for a clean past before He calls someone by faith. If you’ve ever told yourself, “God can’t use me because of what I’ve done,” this message is a direct challenge to that lie and a reminder...

Send us Fan Mail A man doesn’t stumble into a new life by accident. He needs a safe place, a clean break from the noise that keeps pulling him back, and people who will love him enough to tell the truth. That’s why I invited Dana Debates to the table. Dana leads The Ark Ministries, a faith-based refuge in Boyton, Virginia, built to help men find restoration through Jesus Christ and a real brotherh...

Send us Fan Mail On Beyond Sunday, I’m sharing a big announcement that’s coming up fast: Sunday, September 20th is National Back to Church Day, a nationwide movement calling people to return to church, reconnect with church family, or visit for the first time. I’m also giving you a quick preview of the guests we’ve got coming to the table in the next few weeks, including stories of real ministry i...

Send us Fan Mail You do not wake up one day and decide to abandon God. Most of the time, you drift. You get busy, you get numb, and you slowly trade closeness with Jesus for spiritual autopilot. We open Jeremiah chapter 2 and let God’s “hard message” land where it needs to land: He remembers the devotion of our early love, and He also sees the moment we start looking elsewhere.  From there we conn...

Send us Fan Mail You can listen to someone else’s testimony all day and still dodge the one person you need to hear from most: you. So we’re doing something different. I’m “interviewing” you with a spiritual inventory built to expose drift, spark faith, and help you reset your walk with the Lord without guilt or games. We start with Psalm 5:3 and a question that lands fast: have you talked with Go...

Send us Fan Mail One nervous “I don’t feel ready” night can change everything. We sit down at the Beyond Sunday table with Mark and Chacho from United in Christ Ministry Worldwide, missionaries serving since 2000, and walk through the real story of how God connected them through street evangelism and turned that moment into a lifelong partnership in the gospel. We talk global Christian missions in...

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Lee Day sits down with Chris Lee, Frankie Brown, and Billy Livingston to walk straight through Matthew 7:21-29 and face the difference between saying the right words and actually knowing Christ. We talk about why church activity, big moments, and “mighty works” can still miss the point if there is no real relationship, no surrender, and no obedience that flows from love. Th...

Send us Fan Mail Your marriage can survive betrayal and addiction, but only when the foundation is deeper than feelings and control. We sit down with Spencer and Jennifer Caudle for their first time on Beyond Sunday, and they share a vulnerable, hope-filled testimony of Christian marriage restoration. Jennifer grew up with the pain of divorce and carried a vow to never let her future family fall a...

Send us Fan Mail A lot of people don’t walk away from God in one big moment. They drift, one “reasonable” choice at a time, until prayer feels optional, church becomes a checkbox, and life fills the space with something else. Pastor Lee Day sits down with Chris Lee, a pastor’s son with a raw testimony, to talk about how that drift turned into Sunday racing, bar work, heavy drinking, blackout years...

Send us Fan Mail A funeral could be the end of a story, but for Doug Caldwell it became the moment God started writing a new one. Doug joins me to share a raw, relatable testimony about growing up in church, drifting away for decades, and still telling himself he believed even while he avoided real discipleship and regular church attendance. Then one day, at a funeral service, the Word of God land...

Send us Fan Mail He overdosed at 16, watched addiction shape his childhood, and carried a kind of shame that’s hard to explain unless you’ve lived it. Nick Newcomb joins us on Beyond Sunday to share a testimony that starts with constant moving, drugs and alcohol on the table. We talk honestly about what it feels like to realize your “normal” isn’t normal, how substance use escalates from weed and...

Send us Fan Mail Your calendar can be full and your soul can still be unprepared. We sit down as a family around Titus 3 and let Scripture confront the places where Christian maturity gets tested the most: authority, speech, and the everyday choice to serve. I’m Pastor Lee Day, joined by my wife Erica Day and my mom Sheila, and we take Paul’s command seriously, to be ready for every good work, not...

Send us Fan Mail Your ministry does not start when you walk into a church building and it definitely does not end when you walk back out. We open Acts 6 and follow the early church as it grows so quickly that real people get overlooked, then we watch how wise delegation protects the mission without treating service like “less than.” Stephen is chosen to handle a practical need, yet Acts 6:8 says h...

Send us Fan Mail Silence is expensive, especially when it costs the next generation their chance to hear what God is really like. We open with Psalm 100 and let it set the posture: joyful worship, gratitude, and a steady confidence that the Lord is good and faithful to all generations. From there, we lean into a direct question: if God’s faithfulness lasts, what are we doing to make sure our kids,...

Send us Fan Mail A packed church means nothing if we miss the real assignment Jesus gives us. We’re opening Luke 14 and sitting with the parable of the great banquet, where invited guests make excuses and the master’s command cuts through the noise: go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. We talk plainly about evangelism, gospel urgency, and wha...

Send us Fan Mail A valley full of bones sounds like the end of the story, but Ezekiel 37 starts with a question that still hits home: “Can these bones live?” We go line by line through the Valley of Dry Bones and talk about what it means when life feels drained, faith feels quiet, and your hope feels cut off. If you’ve been sensing spiritual warfare, pressure, or that heavy feeling you can’t quite...

Send us Fan Mail Losing a battle can make you ask the right question and still make the wrong move. We open 1 Samuel 4 with Israel stunned by defeat, and we slow down on the moment that exposes the real issue: they recognize God’s hand is not with them, but instead of repentance and patience, they reach for a shortcut. We talk about what it looks like to “play church” and why it never delivers rea...

Send us Fan Mail Comfort can be the most dangerous season of your faith, not because God is distant, but because we start drifting without noticing. We’re talking about the warning signs of spiritual complacency and why “don’t get comfortable” is not a catchy phrase, it’s a lifeline for anyone who wants to stay awake, clean-hearted, and faithful. We open Joshua 23 and sit with Joshua’s final messa...
