The Big C Podcast

“Patience, a Believer’s Virtue" is brought to us by Aji. Patience is a fruit of the Spirit so we know that with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can have supernatural patience. Maybe it's a neighbor, childhood friend, or family member that really knows how to push your buttons. Patience is one of the great differentiators of the being a Christian so how can we be a witness to those around us by bei...

“Arise My Child" is brought to us by Kishore. So often we find ourselves getting bogged down by disappointment that we're not seeing the change in the world we'd like to see. Despite hours of prayer and fasting, we trust with our mouths that God can do anything but our hearts grow weary. This message is a great reminder that Jesus can bring the dead to life with just a word and continues to bring...

“The Joy of the Lord" is brought to us by Kishore. We do not believe that it's possible to become born again by the Holy Spirit and remain the same. Your view on your once "normal" way of living will begin to change the more you seek to become more like Christ. This episode, Kishore challenges us to judge our own sins more harshly than we judge others. We must take a long look at our own mistakes...

“The Rich in the Church Pt. 2" is brought to us by Aji. It is so easy for us all to fall into the trap of intimidation when it comes to money and social status. We must be so grounded in our belief that Jesus is the greatest gift to humanity that we will be joyous to give our riches away and to plead to the rich to lay down their own lives for Jesus. It's a difficult topic but we never want to shy...

“The Rich in the Church Pt. 1" is brought to us again by Aji. According to the 2018 Global Wealth Report from Credit Suisse Research Institute, if you have financial and real assets of at least $4210 to your name, you are richer than half the world’s population. In America especially, many of us live in complete abundance. So when Jesus said “it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom...

“It’s Never Too Late To Have A Better Ending" is brought to us again by Aji. Far too often we believe we are too far gone to be redeemed. But time after time in Scripture, we read of characters and stories that remind us that no one is ever too lost or broken to be made whole in Jesus. Scripture references: James 4:12-16 Proverbs 27:1 John 2:13-16 Matthew 21:13 Malachi 3:8-12 Psalm 102:11 Job 8:9...

“The Called Ones Pt. 2" is brought to us again by Kishore. Jesus really told us to love everyone. It’s so easy to get caught up in wanting to band together with people who like what we like and who hate what we think we should hate. I encourage you to hate the sin in your life before looking to the sin in others’ lives. Empathy starts with humility. Scripture references: Romans 8:28 Matthew 9:9 Ex...

“The Called Ones Pt. 1" is brought to us by Kishore. Kishore preaches a challenging message this week and wants to know: who is your tax collector? Why are we, as Christians, not going to the gathering of sinners to proclaim Christ? Why are we afraid to take the Gospel to the witch convention or the gay parade? Did Christ not die for us while we were still sinners? We'll tackle tough questions lik...

“All Rise, Here Comes The Judge” is brought to us by Aji. Aji brings a powerful message on the difference between righteous and unrighteous judgement. When is it okay to judge? Is it ever okay to judge? Let's see what the Bible has to say about it! Scripture references: James 4:11-12 (NKJV, Message, TPT, Interpretive Version) Matthew 7:1-2 (NLT, AMPC) Luke 12:56-57 1 Corinthians 5:3 1 Corinthians...

“Time To Get Emotional” is brought to us by Aji. As we continue our study in James, we get to chapter four verses seven to ten where James lays out ten commandments for us to follow in order to kill pride and be humble. This episode, Aji focuses on verse nine where we are called to weep and be mournful. It is a tough message to deliver to a group of men but a necessary lesson for us all to learn....

“The Biggest Issue in the Church Today” is brought to us by Kris. Judgment is a sin that has been plaguing the Church since its conception. It's something we all struggle with and Kris speaks directly to that in this episode. How important is it for us to avoid being judgmental? Can one act of judgement change the whole world for the worse? Let's find out! Scripture references: Matthew 7:1-6 Luke...

“Cleanse Your Hands and Purify Your Hearts” is brought to us by Ajibola. What hidden sins do you have in your life and what actions are you taking to rid yourself of those sins? When it comes to pride, we need to have accountability to change to a life of humility. So what does James have to say about all of this? Scripture references: James 4:6 James 4:7-10 Exodus 30:19, 21 James 4:4 Revelation 2...

“Faith and Healing Pt. 2” is brought to us by Kishore.  In this episode, we close up the story of the lame man who Jesus told to walk and his four friends.

“Faith and Healing Pt. 1” is brought to us by Kishore. What does it mean to truly "behold"? Sometimes we think we know what we need from Jesus at any given moment but if we just took a moment to stop and listen, maybe He has something so much greater than we can even imagine waiting for us. Kishore explores what that means and more on this week's episode of POPS! Scripture References: Hebrews 13:8...
