The UnLearn

Family, as we close out another season of The UnLearn , today’s episode brings us back full circle to the very reason this platform was created and to the mandate God placed on my heart: To challenge everything you thought you knew about God so you could encounter and know Him personally for yourself. I pray this podcast has truly blessed your life, and that our journey together has awakened your...

Today’s podcast invites us to rethink repentance. Too often, repentance has been presented with harshness, judgment, or condemnation, causing many to associate it with shame and guilt rather than seeing it for what it truly is - a loving invitation to return to God and stay in the continual flow of cleansing and intimate fellowship with Him. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. This...

Buckle up! Just as a car has indicator lights to warn us when something needs attention, the Holy Spirit serves as our internal alert system. He speaks through that still, small voice, a hesitation in our spirit, that gut feeling in the pit of your stomach, or a gentle conviction in our heart. God has perfected our standing in Christ, yet He is continually shaping our condition into holiness and t...

Many people are living in fear for different reasons – the kind of fear that causes us to respond to life in unhealthy ways, distorts our thinking, and even causes us to question God’s love for us. But this fear does not come from Him. It originates from the enemy, the father of lies, who seeks to deceive us into doubting our worth and identity in Christ and the goodness of God. To fear the Lord i...

Who doesn’t feel a sense of excitement at the sight of a beautifully wrapped box? The colors, the ribbon, the presentation—all of it draws us in. Yet so often, we become captivated by the packaging that we lose sight of the gift hidden inside. In much the same way, life can distract us with what appears impressive on the surface—status, image, success, reputation. But a person’s true worth is not...

When someone says, “I’ve got receipts,” they mean they have proof to back up what they’re saying and can verify their version of events. Oh, we talk a good game, we claim to love others, and we say that we know God, but where are the receipts? A tree is known by the fruit it bears. In other words, if there is no fruit being produced in your life as the result of your faith + good works, then what...

One of my favorite movies growing up was The Wizard of Oz . Yet it wasn’t until much later that I recognized its profound truth: the characters spent the entire journey on that yellow brick road searching for what they already possessed. In the same way, the “wizard” of this world convinces us that we are incomplete — that we're lacking or missing out on something. This lie fuels discontentment, d...

Anything worth having in this life will cost you something - and the same is true of our relationship with God. Salvation is free, but discipleship will cost us our lives. For this reason, we should not think it strange when tests and trials come. Suffering is not optional for the Believer; it is part of God's redemptive plan. Many of us want to experience the POWER of His resurrection without the...

The prosperity gospel has deceived many into believing that if we are not living a “dream life,” walking in perfect health, or experiencing visible wealth and influence, then we must lack faith or have somehow missed God - or worse, missed the blessing altogether. It’s all a lie! Ain’t nothin' wrong with you! In fact, it is often in seasons of waiting, suffering, and necessity that true riches are...

Promotion of self has become one of the most pervasive forms of idolatry today. Technology has amplified this through our obsession with selfies, social media, and constant self-curation - shifting the focus from glorifying God to glorifying ourselves. In 2 Timothy 3, Paul warns that “in the last days people will become lovers of themselves.” He was not speaking of unbelievers, but those who belon...

There’s a popular catch phrase that’s trending, “100%”. I’m sure you’ve heard it and probably even said it yourself. It’s a quick way to signal total agreement or with absolute certainty . In other words, it’s a sure thing! The mistake we’ve made is buying into the world’s “100%” - chasing the bag, trends, fads, and formulas that feel and look like success - even spiritual - but many of these purs...

In a world where we are expected to conform, we more often than not, fail to see that God is more interested in the uniqueness in which He made you. Learn to embrace the freedom that comes with being the origin of His creation.

We are called to live in the world, but not of the world – to be engaged without becoming entangled. As we move through daily life, it’s inevitable that we will pick up dirt from our interactions with a fallen culture. That is why it is a necessity to regularly wash our feet and cleanse our hearts and minds from worldly influences that cling to us. We wash our feet through prayer, worship and the...

Today's culture is deeply obsessed with external packaging - often measuring worth by appearance and perception rather than truth and substance. But God operates by a different standard. He is not impressed by outside packaging, polish or perfection but the posture of your heart. Just because a package is damaged doesn't mean it doesn't have value. In God’s hands, what appears flawed on the outsid...

Does your need to know everything God is doing ever get in the way of simply obeying Him? We don’t have to understand every detail of God’s work in our lives. There are mysteries about Him that we will never understand in this life because His ways are not our ways and neither are His thoughts, our thoughts. When God asks you to do something you don’t fully understand just obey Him and trust Him m...

God's concept of time is different then ours. As a matter of fact He is outside of time. We think of the Millenium as somewhere way in eternity while God sees it as tomorrow. I try to show the coalition between a thousand years and one day. In our time it's a thousand years, in God's time it's tomorrow. Jesus is coming back tomorrow…Be Ready!

Sometimes when we’re going through the valleys of life, we can feel alone and question, “God, where are you?” Especially when we look at those who appear to be prospering. But don’t be discouraged. It ain’t over. You may be going through a valley right now but you’re coming out on the other side! Don’t allow what you see to deflect from what you know to be true in your heart. God is with you and H...

We seem to be bombarded with fake news today. So much so that it’s hard to tell what’s real anymore. But fake news is nothing new, it’s been around since the Garden of Eden days and many of us are allowing it to dictate how we live our lives. God’s children should never be consumed with fake news but rather we should obsess ourselves with good news, The Good News of His word. It’s the only thing t...

The wrong desires that show up in your life aren’t unique—every one of us faces temptations that try to pull us away from what we know is right. Remember, the enemy is strategic; he knows exactly what you like and how you like it! And no matter how strong, seasoned, or spiritually mature you think you are, no temptation is irresistible. But God is faithful to provide a way of escape, but you still...

Growing up, my father would discipline us using a switch from a tree in our back yard. Before he commenced to whooping our heinies, he would always say, "I'm doing this because I love you." But it 'sho didn't feel like love to me. Much in the same way, when God disciplines His children, it doesn't always feel good but I am so glad He loves me and checks me when I'm wrong. Discipline for the Believ...

Life itself cannot exist without exchange. Everything in humanity is built on the principle of giving and receiving. This is why no man is an island unto himself. We are all connected through divine exchange. And the greatest exchange offered to mankind happened on the Cross when Jesus died and took upon Himself the sins of the world. Yes, salvation is a free gift, but there is an exchange that mu...

Buckle up! We're in for a turbulent ride, but stay with me...I promise a smooth landing. The prosperity gospel has caused major damage in the Body of Christ by shifting our focus from surrender to selfish-gain . It promises blessings without obedience, prosperity without repentance and favor without faithfulness. We've even presented salvation as a fast food happy meal..."Get your salvation here w...

The Christian life is not about extremes - it's about balance, obedience, and reverence for God. When I grew up, being a Christian was extreme; we feared the Lord and we at least tried to live holy. Now, everything goes! No reverence. No respect. No honor. No fear. No consequences...or so we think. Yes. God is loving, patient, merciful and kind, but He is also a God of judgment and you will reap w...

The spirit of arrogance rules our culture today and often hides behind strong opinions and emotional reasoning. We feel entitled not only to speak but to be right. Opinions have become the new authority of the world. It’s no longer about what is true , but about how we feel and what we think. We’ve blurred the lines between personal opinion and absolute truth and elevated our opinions and preferen...

One of the greatest dangers to our walk with God is to forget who we are and whose we are. Many of us allow the cares of this world, cultural pressures, and self-ambition to cause us to slowly drift into living as though we belong to ourselves. We must go back to First Base – the foundation of our faith and remember the Lord our God - for it is He who has made us and not we ourselves!
