The Christian life isn't easy, and everyone who wants to follow Jesus must count the cost. Finishing well and enduring to the end should be the goal of every believer who longs to hear Jesus say these words to us, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Show notes: If you are a pastor, evangelist, missionary, or like-minded believer seeking fellowship, accountability, encouragement,...

Nearly 60 million men and women will die around the world this year. Using Jesus' statistics, most of them will die unsaved and enter eternity in hell. As Jesus' followers, we must do everything possible to *warn people and reach them with the good news. This is a call to a biblical sense of urgency. Show Notes: This episode was recorded during a message I preached on 4/19/2026 at New Te...

Christian churches in America are in imminent danger and don't realize it. Most churches boast of growing attendance, relevance, and success, yet the glory and Spirit of God departing from our gatherings is a reality. Drastic change is critical; or we risk Jesus’ words to the Laodicean church happening to us: "I will spit you out of my mouth." Let's look together at the absolut...

End-time Bible prophecy is the most debated topic among Christians in all of scripture. Healthy debate is good, but a dangerous, unbiblical precedent is being set. End-time Bible prophecy is being attacked from within the church by supposed shepherds. Let’s look at the deception that Jesus and the apostles warned us would come.  Show Notes: All audio clips and book quotes are unaltered and provide...

Paul’s life was one of determination and dependence as he pressed on. Jesus is coming soon. We must renew our determination and dependence on the Lord as we encourage one another and press on toward the goal together. Let’s look together at Paul’s living example of pressing onward toward the prize and how we should join in imitating him. Text us for prayer, comments, or ministry questions. Connect...

Prominent men are preparing the way for the Antichrist. Men like Yuval Noah Harari and others are distorting the truth with lies, and this will culminate in the soon arrival of a world leader who will control the global economy and system of worship. The onset of mass surveillance, digital IDs, digital currency, and AI will soon make the unthinkable a reality. Please take a moment to give us a rat...

The “new normal” isn’t normal, and deep down we all feel it. As society becomes desensitized to rage, violence, and unkindness, it’s easier to recognize the evil in others than the sin within ourselves. This episode challenges that reality and points to the true hope found in Jesus. Learn how He changes hearts and how sharing the Gospel can bring light and lasting impact to those we encounter ever...

Our lives are made up of decades, years, hours, minutes, and seconds, and there are 86,400 seconds in each day. Time is an immeasurably valuable commodity, a finite resource that we can spend, invest in, or waste just like money. We are all given a limited amount of time on earth to live, and then we die. In God’s grace and mercy, He knows when that time is for each person. As the awareness of sin...

Jesus said that there is one sin that won't be forgiven. When people think of the unforgivable sin, they generally have a list of the so-called big and small ones. Things like murder and rape are usually at the top, while gossip and pride are lesser offenses in society's eyes. But the Bible breaks through the confusion and tells us what the unpardonable sin is and how to avoid it. We&apo...

The sad news of the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk shed light on the elephant in the world’s living room. It exposed society’s underlying hatred of anything good, especially true Christians. Let’s take a realistic look at the reason behind the hate and what the Christian response should be. Show Notes:  Link to article: The World Will Hate You.

The Spirit-filled life is a term we often hear and read about, but what exactly does it mean? In this timely message, Pastor Ian Huxham provides a biblical overview of the Holy Spirit's role in our Christian life. He explains why being Spirit-filled, led, and empowered should be the norm, not the exception, in the daily lives of every follower of Jesus.  This episode is from one of the messag...

Many people are breathing a collective sigh of relief as it seems we've averted an all-out war in the Middle East. In reality, numerous geopolitical, economic, and social crises are at a boiling point around the globe, and many people remain unaware of them, leading to a growing false sense of peace and safety. Let's take a biblical look at the current realities we face and the troubles...

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil! When Isaiah spoke these words, he warned the people of his day about moral and spiritual blindness. Here we are, nearly three millennia later, and not only is most of humanity in a moral free-fall, but it’s normal for evil to be called good and good called evil. Let’s explore the personal implications and how we should respond to a world full of peopl...

When Jesus asked this question two thousand years ago, He was alerting His followers about the prevailing spiritual condition of people on earth at the time of His return. Jesus knew the answer: the close of the age would be marked by a mass defection from the truth. What will they be falling away from? The faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. Let’s look at the current defection fr...

We are witnessing a growing number of spiritual movements in our time that are masquerading as authentic revivals, but seem to originate from a different spirit. Let’s examine how this spiritual deception sets the stage for the coming global false end-time revival and the worship of the Antichrist.

Few people have impacted the world for Jesus as quickly as Keith Green did. His life on this earth was only a brief 28 years, but when he was born again, he used his platform as a singer & musician to win lost people to Jesus and fire up believers. Let's look together at Keith's life of no compromise and be encouraged to increased boldness for Jesus and love for others. Every blessin...

In this episode, we'll discuss how many Churches and Christians are encouraging people on their way to hell. How and why is this done? Some Christians do it unwittingly because their seeker-sensitive, purpose-driven church leaders have taught them to win people to a building, not Jesus.  Many Churches and leaders do it to tickle ears, keep their seats and services full, and care about man-ple...

China’s growing economic, tech, and military power makes it the elephant in the world’s living room we can’t ignore. Let’s examine how China’s rise in the end-times could affect us as individuals and globally. This should be a wake-up call to all of humanity, especially Christians. Show Notes: Click here to write letters to our fellow Christians in Chinese prisons. Text us for prayer, comments, or...

Although many Christian leaders presume we’re entering a golden age for the US and the world, I strongly disagree. End-time Bible prophecy points toward a widespread false sense of security, then sudden destruction. Let’s look at the shocking global events ahead for us and how we should respond to the supposed peace in our time. Donald Trump isn't the Prince of Peace; Jesus is. Show Notes : N...

In this conversation, we discuss the reality of spiritual warfare, emphasizing the active role of Satan in seeking to destroy men, marriages, families, and testimonies. I want to stress the seriousness of this battle and the need for discernment and vigilance as we live out authentic manhood in the end times.

Jesus said one of the signs of the end times is the love of many growing cold. We are rapidly approaching a time when brothers and sisters in the Lord will offend, betray, and hate one another. This is a call for true unity and genuine love among believers as love grows cold. Show Notes: Oswald Chambers: Click here for his books & devotionals, including My Utmost for His Highest. Please rememb...

Being liked and accepted by the world has become an idol and obsession to the growing apostate church across America and globally. It's time to stop playing Christianity as usual and being so earthly-minded, we're no heavenly good. Show notes: A.W. Tozer quote from the book The Quotable Tozer 2 . Dave Hunt Quote from the book  Whatever Happened to Heaven? Dave was the founder of The Bere...

Jesus isn't a "Sky-Fairy, Old Man Upstairs, or Homeboy." He also isn't a Hallmark Channel version of God or Genie in a Bottle that much of watered-down Western Christianity makes Him out to be. We need to live bold lives that don’t obscure the good news and diminish the great name of Jesus with tepid, religious, and hypocritical behavior. Show Notes : Here's the link to Pa...
