Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

Your role is vital to the body of Christ. Your role is vital in the family of God. If you start slacking and your part is missing, the entire body suffers. Pastor Daniel is going to show you today why your engagement with God, with the body, and with the world is so crucial to the maturity of the family of Christ. Without your full engagement, the family can't reach full maturity. The body needs y...

Everything that you do, every moment of every day now and for the rest of your life, is a moment of ministry. And ministry simply services to God and to the world. Pastor Daniel is going to show you today that your life is so much more than a meaningless collection of minutes. Your life is laid out and chosen for you by the God of the universe. He has plans for you for ministry to the world. You c...

Pastor Daniel is going to bring us into the garden with Jesus in today's message. It's his last night on earth and he knows it, and he goes to the garden to pray. Jesus was All In for you and for me in that garden. He knew the pain and heartache that was headed his way, but he told his Father, “not my will, but yours.” How will you respond to Jesus today? Will you offer your life—what you do and h...

What was it that God had planned for you today? Did you ever stop to ask? Pastor Daniel is going to show us today that every day we have a choice. We can choose God's will or we can choose our own. And every day there is a battle for our allegiance. Maybe today you chose your own way, but the day isn't over yet! Stop right now and give the rest of your day to him! Your day doesn't have to send in...

What message did your parents send you with how they treated you? Were you welcomed into the world with joy and celebration? Were you a mistake, an inconvenience?

The most beautiful thing in the world is being fully known and fully loved. Pastor Daniel reminds us today that God knows all of your struggles and he knows when you give in to temptation. But that's why he sent Jesus. He knows you, and he loves you! He will always provide a way out of temptation. But even if you don't take the escape route—even if you fall into sin—he loves you. Allow yourself to...

Pastor Daniel is talking about when Satan tempted Jesus by giving him all the kingdoms of the world simply by bowing down to him. The tempting thing was gaining the crown without enduring the cross. Satan is still in the tempting business and he still wants to convince us that his way is easier. Don't give in and do things the easy way instead of God's way. God's way is always better! Pick up your...

Pastor Daniel is going to show us today that Jesus grew up as we do. He had human, fallible parents that he needed to submit to, and he did that perfectly. Can you imagine a teenage boy who truly did know better than his parents choosing to submit to them anyway?!? So he grew up as we do, but he did it right, all the time. He was tempted. He was hungry and thirsty and tired. And yet he went throug...

Have you noticed that history repeats itself? Humanity tends to find itself in cycles of war, famine, recession, and prosperity. There's only one event in history that has never and will never be repeated, and that's God becoming a man. Jesus Christ came down to earth and took the form of a man. He entered into our reality in order to save us. Pastor Daniel is going to dive into the divine mystery...

Pastor Daniel is going to share the mission of all believers in today's message. And that mission is to simply respond to Jesus. Jesus is asking you the question, “do you love me?” just like he asked Peter. How will you respond to him today? Do you love him? And if you do, will you feed his sheep? Will you reach out to the world around you and offer them the love of Jesus? Take a moment to respond...

Today, Pastor Daniel urges you to cling to the truth that Jesus has already won and let that seep into how you look at your battles. Instead of feeling hopeless and defeated, have faith that God will come through and make good on His promises...

Buried treasure isn’t easy to find. It takes persistence and a lot of digging to unearth the valuables hidden below the surface. And that’s just what you’ll experience with today’s passage. At first glance, it’s just a list of the Kingdoms that the Israelites defeated. But it’s really much more than that. Today, Pastor Daniel encourages you to dig down deep to see that this list is really a record...

People who have run marathons will tell you that there’s often a point in their race where they hit a wall and feel like they can’t go on. Can you relate to that?

Do you ever feel like your life is kinda like the movie Groundhog’s Day? It’s the same thing over and over. Well, today, Pastor Daniel reminds you that much of life isn’t made of exciting mountaintop moments. It’s the daily grind. It’s going to work, helping the kids, and picking up yet another pair of dirty socks off the floor. But, as you’ll be reminded today, that’s where the rubber meets the r...

No matter what happens, you always have a choice in how you respond. You get to decide what you’ll do.

Will you worry? Will you respond with anger? Or will you take a deep breath and choose to trust in the God w...

The Israelites are making their way through the Promised Land. So far, they’ve witnessed God intervene on their behalf in some pretty incredible ways.

Will you believe God and trust Him? That’s what following Him is all...

Have you ever been working with someone on a project and they just kind of took over? It probably felt like you weren’t really working together at all. Well, today, Pastor Daniel talks about how God wants to be included in your decision-making process from beginning to end. As you’ll see in this passage, things go crooked when you don’t seek direction from the Lord. So don’t leave God out. Let Him...

Have you had those moments? Have you felt that check in your spirit before? Today, Pastor Daniel helps you understand that those feelings are like a warning light for your life. You don’t just ignore them. You need to pause and see if that feeling is from the Lord. You ask Him if He has something to show you. That’s how you honor the check. You pause and you pray. And, as you’ll find, many times G...

Pastor Daniel isn’t pulling any punches today as he challenges you to consider where your heart is. Are you following the ethics of God’s kingdom or have you just absorbed the priorities of the culture around you? Because you have a relationship with God and are part of His family, you’re not a citizen of this world. You belong to Him. And so His ways and His values should be the ones that you see...

You might be too old to worry about a monster under your bed, but there are still things that grip your heart with fear. That’s why it’s not a coincidence that scripture has so many reminders to not be afraid. God knows your heart. He knows your struggles. And He wants you to know that He is with you. You don’t have to worry. You don’t have to be afraid. So, stay with us today as Pastor Daniel sha...

That’s such a huge shift in thinking-- To consider how your choices would reflect on God’s reputation in your community and the world. Like Pastor Daniel says today, you’re not used to thinking this way. Usually, your first priority is yourself. But, making your witness for the Lord your primary concern changes your starting point. Then you’ll begin to see life in a whole new way. And God will har...

Often your biggest failures follow right after your greatest triumphs. Today, Pastor Daniel shares that this is what happened to the Israelites. They were so caught up in the glory of their victory at Jericho tha...

Don’t believe the song… you’re not an island. See, our culture tells you that what you do doesn’t affect anyone else. But that’s just not true. Today, Pastor Daniel reminds you that, like a pebble thrown in the water, your choices have a ripple effect. What you do makes an impact on the lives of the people around you. You’re connected in ways that you might not even see. So when you go against God...

Even before the Israelites had any battles, God told Joshua that Jericho was theirs. God had given the city into their hands. He wanted them to have faith and trust what they hadn’t seen yet. Today, Pastor Daniel explains that God wants the same for you. You can walk with hopeful expectation and confidence that God will do the things that He said He would. You can believe that His word will come t...
