God rarely asks us to wait for certainty before we obey; He...

In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 007), I explore the story of an unnamed centurion in Jerusalem and what his response teaches us about hearing the voice of God. While the crowd refused to listen and the religious leaders argued among themselves, one centurion paused long enough to hear the truth. Through Acts 21–23, we discover that God is still speaking today, but the challenge...

In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 006), I continue our Centurion series by looking at the remarkable story of Cornelius in Acts 10.

In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 005), we begin the “Centurion” series by standing at the foot of the cross through the eyes of the Roman centurion who witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus.

In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 002), I continue our series on the gifts of the Spirit from 1 Corinthians 12, focusing on the intuitive gifts—word of wisdom, word of knowledge, and discerning of spirits. These are not natural abilities, but supernatural gifts the Holy Spirit distributes as He wills, often speaking into situations, people, and spiritual atmospheres in ways that g...

In this episode of the Travis Rutland Podcast (Ep. 001), I begin a foundational series on the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
