How Biblical Stewardship Changed My Life
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. Scripture is clear: God owns everything, and one day every Christian will give an account—not for salvation, but for faithfulness.If you enjoyed this episode, consider liking this video and subscribing.

You Can Know Theology and Still Not Follow Jesus
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.If you enjoyed this episode, consider liking this video and subscribing.

Spiritual Warfare and Demon Possession
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 explains how believers can fight without fear and without falling into sensationalism.If you enjoyed this episode, consider liking this video and subscribing.

Was Forrest Frank's Healed Back a True Miracle?
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.

Why Gen Z is Flocking to Eastern Orthodoxy
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 that.If you enjoyed this episode, consider liking this v...

Why We Removed Someone From Our Church
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 and necessary commands.If you enjoyed this episode, consider liking this video and subscribing.
