Why Christians Keep Failing the LGBT Conversation 02.06.2026 26min

What happens when we win the argument but lose the person? In this episode, Pastor Tony and Pastor Dean sit down to ask an honest question: have Christians failed the LGBT conversation? Not in our convictions, those don't change, but in our posture, our tone, and the way we engage the people right in front of us. They trace how the cultural conversation around homosexuality shifted over the last 40 years, why "this is just who I am" has become the defining claim of our age, and where that i...

I Only Knew Half of the Christian Blessing 19.05.2026 20min

In this episode, we explore what it truly means to live as a child of God. Many Christians understand forgiveness, but miss the joy and freedom of sonship.

In this Mother's Day episode, Pastor Tony and Pastor Dean open up about new babies, first Mother's Day advice, and what the Bible actually says about motherhood.

Why We’re Trying to Live Forever and Save the Earth 21.04.2026 18min

Everyone wants to live longer. Some are even trying to live forever. From biohacking to billion-dollar longevity experiments, the pursuit of extending life has become one of the defining obsessions of our time. But beneath that question is a deeper one: why do we want to live forever in the first place? At the same time, movements like Earth Day push us to preserve the planet at all costs—to protect, sustain, and ultimately “save” what we have. But can saving the earth actually address the de...

Why Did Jesus Have to Die? The Real Meaning of the Cross 17.03.2026 19min

This conversation dives deep into one of the greatest mysteries of the Bible: what happened during the three hours of darkness when Jesus hung on the cross.

What is Real Revival? 24 Hours of Prayer, Easter & the Lost 03.03.2026 25min

In this episode, we unpack modern worship lyrics, corporate prayer, and whether church-wide prayer initiatives are powerful or just hype. Reflecting on a 24-hour prayer gathering and looking ahead to Easter, we talk about what revival actually is—and what it isn’t. Revival isn’t emotionalism or a packed service. It’s a genuine work of God in the hearts of His people: renewed love for Christ, conviction of sin, and a fresh passion to share the gospel. Evangelism doesn’t create revival—revival ...

Ordered Loves: Enjoying God’s Gifts Without Losing God 17.02.2026 23min

What the Super Bowl Reveals About Our Worship 03.02.2026 20min

In this episode, we talk about how sports shift from entertainment to idolatry, and why time, money, and mood are often the clearest indicators. We discuss Sunday games, parenting decisions, athlete testimonies, and how Christians can enjoy sports without letting them shape our priorities — or our worship.

How Biblical Stewardship Changed My Life 20.01.2026 24min

What if everything you have—your money, time, talents, career, and opportunities—was never actually yours? In this conversation, we unpack the biblical doctrine of stewardship and why it’s far bigger than money.

Your New Year’s Resolutions Are Already Failing 06.01.2026 20min

You Can Know Theology and Still Not Follow Jesus 16.12.2025 28min

Most Christians never disciple anyone, and this episode gets honest about why. We talk about how churches often settle for content instead of the life-on-life model Jesus showed, where people actually see your faith in action. Looking at the way Jesus trained the Twelve and Paul trained faithful men, we explore why so many believers feel unready or unsure and why simple, intentional relationships still shape people more than any program ever could.

Spiritual Warfare and Demon Possession 02.12.2025 26min

In this episode, Pastor Tony and Dean dive deep into the two-realm reality the Bible describes—one seen, one unseen. Tony recounts a vivid and disturbing encounter with a demonized man, explaining what actually happens in real-life spiritual confrontations, how the enemy targets the mind, and why modern Western Christians often mislabel spiritual problems as merely psychological. This conversation exposes the schemes of the enemy, explores the biblical framework for spiritual warfare, and exp...

Was Forrest Frank's Healed Back a True Miracle? 13.11.2025 17min

In this episode we distinguish biblical miracles from extraordinary providence. Not every unusual event is a “miracle” because that erodes the meaning of the term.

Sanctification & Killing Indwelling Sin 09.10.2025 19min

Every Christian wrestles with sin, but does that mean you’re not truly saved?

What Christians Get Wrong About End Times 11.09.2025 17min

Why does the modern church struggle so much with eschatology, the study of the last days? Too often, conversations become sensational, focused more on prophecy charts and news cycles than on Christ Himself. In this episode, we unpack why every generation thinks their time is the end, the dangers of date-setting, and how fear-based teaching erodes trust.

Why Gen Z is Flocking to Eastern Orthodoxy 28.08.2025 19min

Gen Z is flocking to Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism, drawn by cathedrals, incense, and a sense of tradition they don’t find in modern evangelical churches. But what’s really behind this trend, and what dangers should we be aware of? At the end of the day, Christianity is not about icons, rituals, or even historical grandeur, it’s about the finished work of Jesus Christ. The gospel gives us full assurance of salvation by grace alone through faith alone, and nothing can be added to tha...

Why We Removed Someone From Our Church 14.08.2025 18min

Most churches today avoid it. Jesus commanded it. So why is church discipline almost nonexistent in modern Christianity? In this episode, we unpack the biblical, historical, and pastoral case for church membership and church discipline, two non-negotiables if we’re going to call ourselves a true New Testament church. From Matthew 18 to the Belgic Confession, from early church persecution to modern Lone Ranger Christianity, we trace how the church lost its grip on one of Christ’s most loving ...
