Hunger determines capacity, and capacity is entirely up to you. What you say out loud, and how often you say it, cements what you believe about your own situation. Venting and faith are opposites: you cannot hold both at the same time. Speaking defeat repeatedly is not processing, it is reinforcing, and there is a hard difference between talking with someone who can pray with you and reframe the s...

Fake has shortcuts. Real takes time. Pastor Todd and his wife work through what that means across worship, ministry, social media, and personal growth, starting with a striking story: a woman at their church got into a screaming fight with her roommate in the hallway right after a service, then later claimed God had sent her to Tulsa to be Pastor Todd's "surrogate wife." The point isn't the drama....

Todd and Katie open with something they've watched happen up close: people who had a genuine call, a real encounter, a pure heart for ministry or public life, who drifted so gradually they never noticed. The pattern is consistent. Something real starts, grows, and then the growth itself becomes the distraction. The standard for staying connected isn't casual spiritual maintenance. It's diligent se...

Nobody climbs a mountain the same day they decide to climb it. Todd opens with that image to make a point most people in ministry resist: hearing from God is the beginning of the process, not a pass through it. The vision is real, the calling may be real, but between the word you received and the thing actually happening, there is a stretch of preparation that does not shrink just because the visi...

Faith doesn't store. Past victories don't buy a season of coasting, and the ground behind you disappears the moment you stop moving forward. We've watched it happen repeatedly: someone walks through something massive, sees the breakthrough, comes out the other side, and then settles into a kind of spiritual relief that quietly becomes drift. Paul warned that someone who has instructed many could s...

The devil runs a short playbook. He tells every person the same three lies: you're not important, you're not loved, and you're not forgiven. Those lies work because they breed isolation, and isolation is where the enemy does his best work. When you drift from the body of Christ, the guard comes down and he punches harder. That's not a metaphor for being more spiritually intentional. It's a descrip...

The Greek word behind "witnesses" in Hebrews 12 is martyr, people who held on without ever seeing the full promise and resisted unto death. That's the standard the writer sets before asking what your excuse is. Saying goodbye to yesterday isn't a sentimental exercise. It's the honest work of identifying what stopped producing a long time ago and having the courage to admit it's dead weight. Effort...

A word from God is a starting point, not a finish line. Receiving a clear direction from the Lord doesn't remove the tests between here and where you're going. Every level of a building has to be inspected and pass on its own terms, and spiritual growth works the same way. We cover why the call was real and the tests are also real, and why pointing to what God said is not a substitute for doing yo...

Todd and I have spent years watching people make decisions they were absolutely convinced God told them to make, only to watch those decisions fall apart completely. The most reliable test for whether you're genuinely hearing from God is whether it lines up with the whole counsel of Scripture, not a verse grabbed out of context and pasted onto what you already wanted. God will not lead you into im...

​How To Go Beyond Pt. 1 Published on Subwave https://subwave.app/@thelastdayspodcast/post/how-to-go-beyond-pt-1

Pastor Todd draws on Joshua 1 and Numbers 11 to make the case that God's plan doesn't change when circumstances do, and the past is no place to live. Published on Subwave https://subwave.app/@thelastdayspodcast/post/letting-go-of-yesterday

Feeling stuck is not a spiritual condition, it's a signal you've outgrown where you are. The roots you've been putting down are doing exactly what they're supposed to. Published on Subwave https://subwave.app/@thelastdayspodcast/post/walking-in-the-fullness-of-gods-plan-for-you

Pastors Todd and Katie argue that spiritual growth stalls when people skip the small, unglamorous steps God actually requires of them. Published on Subwave https://subwave.app/@thelastdayspodcast/post/going-deeper-in-god-pt-2

Todd and Katie discuss why anointing and assignment rarely arrive on the same schedule, and what it actually takes to go deeper in God. Published on Subwave https://subwave.app/@thelastdayspodcast/post/going-deeper-in-god-pt-1

Gideon started with 32,000 soldiers and God trimmed that number down to 300, about one percent of the original force. The fearful ones weren't a neutral presence; they were a liability whose fear would have spread through the whole army. That counterintuitive math runs through everything here: subtraction can be the source of increase, and what looks like loss is sometimes the removal of the thing...

Purity is a process, not a one-time event or a badge you earn. The image of a river makes this concrete: a river is most powerful when it has banks. Remove the banks and the water spreads into a swamp with no current and no clean flow. Spiritual constraints work the same way. The Word of God is the structure that makes a powerful life possible, and what is in the heart eventually comes out of the...
