Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

Change can be a struggle. It doesn’t matter what it’s about, change- and the uncertainty it brings with it- is uncomfortable. Well, today, you’ll see how God switched up the way He provided for the Israelites. Their daily manna stopped once they entered the Promised Land because God wanted to provide for them in a different way. Stay with us as Pastor Daniel helps you think through how to respond...

God’s ways don’t always make sense to us. And that’s exactly what you find in today’s passage. God is giving the Israelites their final instructions before their first battle in the Promised Land. And He tells them to be circumcised. That seems counter-productive, right? Well, Pastor Daniel shares that God is after our faithfulness and wants what is best for us. You’ll find that what didn’t make s...

You might’ve heard people talking about living their best life. But what does that really mean? And how do you know it’s the best? Well, today, Pastor Daniel explains that God created you to live connected to Him in a way that brings hope and purpose to your life. When you let Him harness your natural gifts and talents for His work, you’ll experience a fullness of life that can’t be found anywhere...

Have you ever smelled or tasted something that triggered a memory for you? It’s almost like you’re transported back in time. Well, today, Pastor Daniel shares how remembering is a powerful force in your life. God knew this when He directed the Israelites to make stone memorials of how He came through for them. Just like the Israelites, you also need these markers to help you move forward in hope a...

God wants you to know Him. To know who He is and what He’s all about. And that’s actually the main purpose of the Bible. It allows us to glimpse God’s heart for people and how He’s at work in the world. Today, Pastor Daniel explains that you can learn a lot about God by studying all of His different names. Joshua uses several of these names for God as a reminder of the different aspects of who God...

Do you think God is big enough for anything that happens in your life? Today, you’ll see that the Israelites were on the cusp of entering the Promised Land. It was a time of big unknowns. They knew that battles were in their future. They had a lot to be scared about. But they were able to step into the inheritance that God had for them because they knew He was on their side. Today, Pastor Daniel s...

Athletes and coaches of any sport will tell you that the head game is just as key as the physical aspect. Wins and losses begin with what happens between your ears. But this isn’t just a sports thing. Today, Pastor Daniel shares that your attitude is key in being able to successfully navigate the ups and downs of life. Being able to experience the abundant life that God has for you requires you to...

There’s no such thing as a hopeless case to God. He knows everything about you, the good and the bad. He knows it all and He still loves you. And, as Pastor Daniel shares today, not only does God love you in spite of your laundry list of failures, but He wants to use you in the amazing work that He's doing in the world. You’ll see this in the example of Rahab, who, despite her sordid past, went on...

Change can be hard, especially when you’re trying to shift foundational thought patterns and behaviors. That’s why God’s encouragement to be strong and courageous is still so applicable to you today. It’s going to take bravery and grit to change things in your life so that you can live in line with God’s way. And, as Pastor Daniel shares today, the payout of those decisions to follow God will alwa...

God always comes through. He does what He said He would do even if it’s not in the timeframe you expect. Today, Pastor Daniel invites you to journey through the book of Joshua in a new series called Conquest. During these studies, you’ll see how God fulfills His promises to His people under the leadership of Joshua. Pastor Daniel points out how Joshua grew into an effective and faithful leader bec...

It’s hard to change the way things are done, to swim against the current of history and culture. This is especially true when it comes to ushering justice into places of brokenness. What you’re doing can feel pointless, like a drop in the bucket that’s not really going to make a difference. But, today, Pastor Daniel reminds you that God will be faithful to keep you in what He’s called you into. He...

God wants us to be involved in the things that He’s doing in the world. In fact, this is how justice happens. As God moves in your heart, you see how things ought to be and you step in to help make that happen. Today, Pastor Daniel explains that your connection with the Holy Spirit births something new in you that wasn’t there before…the desire to serve. When you’re willing to step into the mess,...

We’ve all experienced moments when our hearts cried out, “this is not how it’s supposed to be!” The reality is that this world is a broken place. All of creation is expectantly waiting for things to be made right again. Today, Pastor Daniel helps you see that you can wait with hope. It’s a choice that you make to trust in the Lord and His promises. So, even though things are broken now, you can li...

Some people love going to the movies more for the trailers that come beforehand than for the feature film itself. They want to see what’s coming soon so they’ll know if they want to see it or not. Well, have you ever thought about how your life is like a trailer? Today, Pastor Daniel explains that people are watching you see what it’s like to live connected to God. It makes you wonder, will what t...

Thinking about the future can leave you feeling unsettled, especially in these turbulent times. And not knowing what to expect can cause you to operate out of fear, shackling you to a small life. But, today, Pastor Daniel shares that it doesn’t have to be that way. The Bible actually has a lot to say about what’s going to happen…and these are truths you can count on. Keeping your focus on heavenly...

Jesus was the same way. He could interact with the rich and powerful, and He could have compassion for a leper. Listening to Pastors Daniel and Gabe, you’ll get a better idea of what ‘following Jesus’ is supposed to look like. Yes, Jesus is God, but He’s also a human man who met people where they were in life.

Resistance is futile. You’ve probably heard this before… even if you’re not a Star Trek fan. Basically, it means: you’re going to lose so why even bother trying to fight. But, today, Pastor Daniel explains that the Bible tells you something different. You’ll learn that resisting your self-focused tendencies is essential to being able to serve. You have to push back against your pride and selfishne...

Resistance bands are giant rubber bands used to stretch muscles and build them stronger. They do what their name implies: provide resistance to pull and activate your muscles. Well, today, Pastor Daniel explains that God wants to help you activate your spiritual life so that you can grow in character and in your walk with Him. And fasting provides the resistance you need to pull you out of your co...

Justice is a word you’ve probably heard a lot lately. I’m sure you, like everyone else, want the world to be a more just and peaceful place. But how do we get there? How do you help make that happen? Well, that’s part of what Pastor Daniel unpacks for you today. You’ll discover that it begins with caring about the things that God cares about. When you let His heart for people transform yours, you’...

Do you want your life to matter? Do you want to make a difference in the world? Well, today, Pastor Daniel shares that God is inviting all of His people to join Him in the work He’s doing. You can be a part of the healing and hope He provides. But this isn’t something that just happens. You have to choose to join in, to love sacrificially again and again. So, what do you think? Will you take that...

And this world is full of chaos, right? So much so that it’s tempting to despair and just let the bad guys have it all. But as Pastor Daniel and his guest, Gabe Moreno, will be talking about, Christians have been given the responsibility – and the power – to bring some of God’s kingdom to this sad, broken-down world.

You hear about living your best life…but what does that really mean? And how do you do that? Well, today, Pastor Daniel shares that the Bible offers some insight into this. You’ll learn that it’s not about what you wear or where you go. No, your best life is one lived connected to the Lord. It’s the life He created you for. So simply respond to Jesus today. Every minute you wait is more time you m...

How would you feel if you won an all-expenses-paid trip to go on your ultimate dream vacation? It would be amazing, right?! What was so out of reach has suddenly become a reality. Well, today, Pastor Daniel explains that God is inviting you into an amazing experience you never could’ve afforded on your own- a relationship with Him. And Jesus totally covered the cost. You don’t have to work to make...

It so does! God wants a relationship with you. And nothing you can do will change that. Like it says in the book of Psalms, His goodness and unfailing love continually pursue you. Jesus came on a rescue mission for you. You can push Him away and turn your back. You can even deny His existence. But He’ll never stop loving you. Today, Pastor Daniel will walk you through what the truths found in Isai...

In this Instagram world, it’s easy to fall into the habit of looking like you have it all together. To cultivate an image that doesn’t even hint at how broken and hurting you really are. But this isn’t what Jesus wants for you. Today, Pastor Daniel explains that because of the love of Jesus and His work on the cross, you can be transparent and real about what’s going on in your life. You’re like e...
