Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

We all want people to love us, but Jesus said woe to the person who everyone speaks well of. That’s because pleasing everyone can be at the expense of making God happy. Keeping everyone happy involves compromising yourself, which can be a terrible snare in the battle for your heart. Today, Pastor Daniel explains how Paul speaks the truth to believers who are straying from God, because the goal is...

It seems like a new version of your phone comes out every other day, your new car loses its luster after driving it off the lot…even your spouse seems less wonderful after a few months of marriage. That’s the result of letting circumstance decide your happiness. As Pastor Daniel teaches today, happiness is the disposition of the heart, and when that’s Jesus…all the distractions of life become poin...

If you’re all about yourself, people will see you…but they won’t see Jesus. Today, Pastor Daniel begins a study through Galatians, and we’ll gain an understanding of the kind of apostle Paul was. Paul lived his life to point others to Jesus, who saves us because of grace. That has nothing to do with what we do or don’t do. That message was Paul’s focus, and in this message Paul is helping the peop...

God is the judge of all the earth, and He can do what He sees fit. That’s hard for us to come to terms with…because we want our own way. As we’ve followed Jonah, we’ve seen how God either delivers or destroys. Today, Pastor Daniel will continue to teach us about how similarly we deal with God in the same way as Jonah…his experience seems far removed from our own, but it’s not. God uses our circums...

We live in a world where people do terrible things. There are groups of people who hold beliefs that we can’t understand. Imagine a group of people who you feel are deserving of death. Now, put yourself on that list. As Pastor Daniel will teach today, the most amazing part of God’s character is the part that we can’t understand: that He forgives ALL. Jonah hated the people of Nineveh and didn’t wa...

God’s message of judgment is delivered to people who are lost, and who may be doing great wrongs. Those people aren’t easy to love, though if you have God’s heart they are the people you should reach out to. As Pastor Daniel points out today, most people don’t want to reach out to a Muslim country, but would rather go on a mission to Hawaii. Jonah didn’t want to go to Nineveh because the people we...

When you experience extreme injustice, gravitating toward a God who will brings things to right makes sense. Most of us don’t have that experience, and so we don’t understand the judgment that a just God brings. As Pastor Daniel explains, we’re all under condemnation, and with Jesus, the light of the world…all that sinful stuff is exposed. Jesus knew what He was coming into, and His will is that e...

God’s message of judgment is delivered to people who are lost, and who may be doing great wrongs. Those people aren’t easy to love, though if you have God’s heart they are the people you should reach out to. As Pastor Daniel points out today, most people don’t want to reach out to a Muslim country, but would rather go on a mission to Hawaii. Noah didn’t want to go to Nineveh because the people wer...

Even in rebellion, or hopelessness, there’s a part of you that’s reaching out to God. Jonah was running from God, and was brought to a low point because of his own decisions...but he still called on His Father. If you’re at a low point in your life, Pastor Daniel will encourage you today through this story of reconciliation. If you’re sick you need a doctor, that’s exactly why you need Jesus...He’...

This is the Audio for the Book Offer Interview with Pastor Daniel Fusco and Josh Brown.

The story of Jonah and the big fish is well-known, and it’s difficult to imagine a person in a more terrifying scenario. You’d think that if you were swallowed by a fish, you’d be praying...but Jonah was in the fish for three days and nights before he reached out to God. Today, Pastor Daniel considers what it means to pray, and the consequences of it. Jonah was running from God, but prayer brings...

Our rebellion affects others, and sin has consequences. This is evidenced by the experience of Jonah as he fled from the presence of God. As Pastor Daniel teaches today, God’s ways are rebellious. That sounds contradictory, but the way that the Lord deals with Jonah proves that He will go to extreme measures to get through to us. But, those around us will be affected by the storm that surrounds ou...

If you’re a believer, and God tells you to do something…it doesn’t always mean you’ll want to. As we’ll hear today, that’s the case with Jonah, as he not only refuses God’s direction…he flees the city completely. But as Pastor Daniel will explain, you can’t run from God. He has a reason for everything, and our reasons for not wanting to won’t make Him go away. His plans are always greater, better,...

If you’re spinning your wheels for things that have no eternal value, then you know spiritual frustration. Everything you’ve made, or saved…all those things go away when you die. Jesus was explicit that we should lay up treasures in heaven. Today, Pastor Daniel explains how Jesus is the source of all things that matter in eternity. A person has to abide in Him, or like a branch that falls from the...

If you were the owner of an apple orchard, you’d want the trees in it to be full of apples. Likewise, God wants His children to bear fruit…to see our lives lived full of love, joy, and peace. As we’ll hear today, Pastor Daniel teaches that as branches borne from our Father, we have to be connected in order to be fruitful. That fruit will not only glorify God, but will bless others as well. It’s no...

If you love somebody, you don’t want to hurt them. And as you’ll hear today, part of loving God means not wanting to break His heart. The first step to doing that is by obeying His commands. As Pastor Daniel explains, none of us are completely obedient… so, what does that mean for believers? His commandments aren’t burdensome, and through Him we can hear Him, and respond. We are growing, we fall,...

During the ministry of Jesus, He wasn’t offered thousands of dollars for speaking engagements, or lucrative book deals….His motives were pure, and the message is the same today. He is out for one thing, and that’s for the hearts of people to follow Him. As you listen to Pastor Daniel speak about how Jesus calls Himself the Way, the Truth and the Life, consider whether there has ever been another l...

If you’ve spent much time in a church, you’ve probably become accustomed to the image of Jesus on a cross. Today, Pastor Daniel will exhort us to step into resurrected life through Jesus. We can be stuck in a rut of continually wanting to die to ourselves--and we should give up our flesh--but Jesus is looking to do something brand new. We worship a resurrected Savior, and if we believe, then we ca...

Loss of life is never easy, no matter if it’s expected or not. It hurts because people were never meant for death. But, even though it’s a part of life…Jesus intervened. As Pastor Daniel teaches about Jesus, Lazarus, and how death is not what we think…consider a different perspective. God’s ways are different than ours. For us, death seems like an ending, but for believers…it’s merely a transition...

There aren’t many of us who could say that we aren’t stubborn when it comes to doing things a certain way. We consider our way the best…even when it comes to God. As Pastor Daniel teaches today, we’ll hear about some of the ways that God sees things differently, and why we often struggle against Him. Simply, His ways are higher and better than ours, and we don’t always like it…consider today why H...

If you are a part of the family of believers that follow Jesus, than you know the grace and power of the Good Shepherd. But, there are many people who don’t yet know Jesus, and today Pastor Daniel will share about how the body has to come together to seek after those sheep, leading them to the safety that the Shepherd brings. But first, you have to lay down your life just as He did…so He can remak...

To make orange juice, you pretty much have to pulverize the oranges. Part of Pastor Daniel’s message today explains how life comes from death…and the way that Jesus proved that through His statement, “I am the Good Shepherd.” A shepherd was willing to give his life for his flock, just as Jesus did for us. Today, you’ll be challenged to consider whether you’re willing to die to yourself…in order fo...

Most of us crave relationship with others…we were made that way, to be like our Creator. But relationships can be messy and hurtful as much as they can be joyful and fulfilling. Jesus came for the purpose of relationship with us…so we can truly know our Father. As Pastor Daniel teaches today, there is only one way to achieve that goal…and that’s through the Messiah. He’s the only door, and He open...

No one likes to be told that there is only one way to do something. But, if the one way to do something is exclusively true…than that’s the only way. Today, Pastor Daniel will teach about the statement we hear from Jesus, “I am the door.” Jesus says it clearly in the Word that He is the ONLY way…which makes a lot of us uncomfortable. . But it’s not bragging coming from the Savior…He is the only br...

Whether it’s someone close to you, or a person whose behaved badly in the news…we’re always silently judging someone. When we see someone caught in sin, what should be our response? To look inward. That’s the challenge we’ll receive today as Pastor Daniel examines how Jesus handled the situation of a woman caught in the act of adultery. The evidence against her was clear, there was a logical penal...
