Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

We’ve gotten off track. We’ve forgotten that Jesus came on a rescue mission because we’re ALL broken and far from perfect. That we’re ALL created by God and bear His image. The reality of this truth should change how you treat people. The details and the differences fall away when you look at people as image-bearers. Today, Pastor Daniel urges you not to let anything keep you from seeing others as...

You matter. That’s what Pastor Daniel reminds you of in today’s teaching. He shares that God created you and, because of that, He cares deeply about you. He’s passionate about who you are and what’s happening with you because He made you. So, no matter what’s going on in your life…even if you’re at the lowest point you’ve ever been… God wants you to know that He’s here and He cares. You are not a...

A lot of people have a life plan. Whether it spans 5 or 10 years or is just a list of priorities to accomplish, they’ve got everything mapped out. Well, today, Pastor Daniel reminds you that it’s fine to make goals but to hold them loosely and leave room for the Lord to direct your steps. You see, God wants to lead you into amazing things, but you have to be willing to follow Him. So, let the Lord...

There’s a distinct difference between reading about something and experiencing it for yourself. The picture of that beach in Hawaii takes on a whole new reality when you feel the sand, hear the waves, and smell the salty air. Today, Pastor Daniel talks about how God is everywhere all at once, what theologians call omnipresence. But the amazing thing is that He wants to be living inside of you too....

You’ve probably heard life referred to as a journey. And to a great degree, this is true. But it’s not just some nebulous concept- it’s your everyday experience of moving through your moments. Today, Pastor Daniel reminds you that God isn’t some far-off watcher who’s disconnected from what’s really going on. He knows where you are, your struggles and your triumphs, your sorrows, and your joys. He...

Everyone wants connection. We want to belong somewhere. And that’s exactly what you’ll find when you begin a relationship with Jesus. Not only are you adopted into God’s family, but through Him, you can find deep and meaningful connections with other people who’ve trusted in Jesus. Because of Him, all your differences and everything in your past is set aside in the face of the grace, love, and acc...

You make thousands of choices every day. Some are big and some are little. But they can all have a huge impact. Today, Pastor Daniel shares that God is inviting you to follow Him, to follow His light in the decisions that you make. He reminds you that all those little choices have a snowball effect. They’ll radically change your life as you follow God one day at a time. So, even though it may be h...

Just like sore, red skin can be a sign of an infection, your emotional response to a situation can be an indicator of something deeper going on. Today, Pastor Daniel explains that anger and frustration often point to an area that God wants you to look at. He shines His light on the dark and broken parts of our lives so that He can bring healing to those places. So lean into those feelings and see...

There’s something profound about how when you’re in a very dark place, even the smallest glimmer of light totally changes everything. This holiday season, Pastor Daniel invites you on a journey to explore how Jesus, the light of the world, continually works to transform everything His light touches. You’ll be encouraged to make space for the Lord so that He can shine His light into the dark parts...

From the classroom to the streets, there’s a difference between knowing information and applying that knowledge in a way that makes your life better. Well, today, Pastor Daniel implores you not to let the things you know about God and how He says the world works best to merely take up space in your head. He shares that you become a radiant reflection of Jesus when what you know travels down from y...

Self-reflection is usually a very good thing. It helps you think through how you’re really doing and if there are areas of your life that you need to change. Well, today, Pastor Daniel encouraged you to take a good look at your life so that you can see if the choices you’re making are enabling you to live the full life that God wants you to have. Jesus wants you to live the rich and joy-filled lif...

All the research, books, and Ted Talks of the past several years have reminded us that the Bible had it right all along. Today, Pastor Daniel shared that the concepts of gratitude and thankfulness that are peppered throughout scripture make a profound difference when you apply them to your daily life. You’ll be encouraged to think about your focus. Are you grateful for what you have or are you dwe...

If given the option, would you choose a broken-down scooter or a luxury dream car? Well, today, Pastor Daniel shares that this is the choice each of us is given when it comes to the life we live. Are you willing to settle for a life that’s just so-so? A mediocre version of the life that you could have? God has big plans for His people to be a safe, grace-filled place for others to run to when the...

For all the generations of believers, past to present, the struggle has been the same. How do you live differently from the culture of the time without losing your ability to engage people? Today, Pastor Daniel shares that this is a perpetual struggle. When you begin a relationship with the Lord, you set yourself apart from the world and the way you used to live. But God wants you to maintain some...

In this culture so focused on personal performance, it’s easy to let this mindset trickle into your interactions with the Lord. But today, Pastor Daniel reminds you that this isn’t how God works. There’s no such thing as a good Christian. There’s only a good and faithful Jesus. You, like everyone else, are constantly messing up, choosing your way over His. But, God’s faithfulness never wavers. He...

Life is full of ups and downs. With each new season comes another set of challenges and difficulties. Today, Pastor Daniel shares that there’s a temptation to make yourself the hero of your story as if you were the one who made it possible to get through that tough time. But that’s not being honest. Jesus is the one who carried you through. He’s the hero. Keeping Him at the center will help you se...

For most of us, simply responding to Jesus isn’t about learning a whole bunch of amazing new things, but following through on what you already know. Today, Pastor Daniel urges you to take steps to do what the Lord has already shown you in His Word. When you say yes to Him, you’ll embark on a great adventure and grow deeper in your relationship with God. He’ll utilize your willingness to respond to...

Looking around at how the world works today, you can see how the desire for money and power drive decisions. Personal gain seems to be the top priority in many cases. But, as you’ll learn today, God wants you to have a different perspective. He wants you to put people first. Pastor Daniel shares that it’s not that the projects aren’t important…they are. But you can’t lose sight of the people they’...

When you’re falsely accused of something, whether it’s a big thing or small, your gut reaction is likely to get defensive! You want the truth to be known, to save face, to keep the faith of people who know you! But maybe, God wants you to trust Him instead. In today’s message, Pastor Daniel shares what this looked like in Nehemiah’s life, and how this faithful man’s response to false accusations h...

The community of believers that God has placed together in a church setting is a family – brothers and sisters connected through a common belief in the saving grace of Jesus! That evens the playing field – we’re all sinners, and all need salvation. So today, Pastor Daniel reminds you that as a part of this family of faith, your priority is to care for others. You need to build up the people around...

There’s a mindset in the world today that people think they can be anything they want – but they don’t want to do the work to become what they want to be! The same mindset can be found in the church, and today Pastor Daniel will be addressing it. If you have a ministry goal in your heart – like being a pastor or going overseas to serve other nations – then start working on it NOW! There are relate...

God never meant for the work of His Kingdom to be placed on one person! In his message today, Pastor Daniel will be talking with you about the importance of coming together as a community of believers to do what God has for us to do. There’s strength that comes from serving each other, building one another up for the glory of God. You do have individual talents and gifts, but are you using them to...

Although Nehemiah was an exiled Israelite, he wasn’t sitting around waiting for God to bring him home. Nehemiah was employed – and as you’ll learn today, he had a very important position! He worked for a King who didn’t follow the Lord, but who appreciated the hard work of Nehemiah. Pastor Daniel reminds you today that the work you do, no matter who it’s for, is meant to be a witness and is meant...

There’s a lot to be disheartened over in this world – poverty, racial injustice, war – to name a few. When someone or something hurts the people God loves and created, it hurts Him too! God’s inviting you to be part of healing the pain, even if it’s in a small way. Pastor Daniel shares today that if you’re seeking the Lord and His purpose for you, He will open your heart to what’s breaking His, an...

If people were like packages in the mail, we’d have the word “fragile” stamped all over us. The truth is that, no matter how tough someone may seem, we’re all breakable in many different ways. It makes sense then, that gentleness overflows when you abide in Jesus. God wants His people to interact with meekness, with strength that’s under control. Today, Pastor Daniel shares that calm and safety fl...
