You pray.
You try harder.
You want freedom.
But somehow the fight keeps showing back up.
What if the struggle itself is proof that God is already working?
In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis exposes the real war happening beneath
temptation, conviction, obedience, and spiritual growth. This is not just about behavior
modification. This is about the battle between flesh and Spirit, truth and emotion, conviction and

2026-05-2019 minThe UnCommon Christian PodcastWhat to do in the Moment of TemptationMost believers don’t lose the battle in a big moment. They lose it in the gap.
The gap between the temptation… and the decision.
The pull… and the agreement.
The moment where feelings get louder than conviction.
In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis breaks down what actually happens inside
temptation and how to fight back before compromise becomes action. This is not just another
conversation about knowing truth — this is about learning how to use truth when the pressure is

In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis breaks down the real reason you keep
going back to the same sin, pattern, or struggle—and why trying harder hasn’t worked.
Because you’re not dealing with a habit. You’re dealing with a stronghold.

In this episode, Jon Ellis reveals that the issue isn’t just behavior—it’s belief. Many believers try
to change what they do without ever confronting what they believe, which is why cycles
continue.
Through Scripture and practical application, this episode unpacks how strongholds are formed
in the mind, how agreement gives patterns power, and what it actually takes to walk in freedom.
If you’ve been stuck in the same cycle, this episode will challenge your thinking and give you

Most believers aren’t losing because they don’t love God…
They’re losing because they’re fighting the wrong battle.
In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis breaks down one of the most
misunderstood areas of the Christian life: the difference between your flesh and real spiritual
warfare.
Not everything is the devil.
Not everything is you.

Many believers quietly struggle with this tension. We know what Scripture says. We feel the
Holy Spirit prompting us. Yet something inside us still hesitates.
In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis explores why obedience can feel difficult
in the moment and why sin often seems easier at first. Drawing from powerful biblical examples
like Peter stepping out of the boat and Abraham trusting God with Isaac, this episode reveals a
truth many Christians overlook: obedience rarely begins with full understanding.

Very few were actually shown how to follow Him.
Somewhere along the way, Christianity in the modern world became centered around decisions
instead of discipleship. We invited people to pray a prayer, attend church, and try to live a good
life, but many believers were never shown what it actually means to walk with Jesus day by day.
And the result is something many people quietly feel but rarely talk about.

2026-03-0541 minThe UnCommon Christian PodcastWe Stopped Saying What Jesus Said | Jesus Never Hid the CostWhat if Christianity didn’t become casual…
What if we simply stopped repeating what Jesus actually said?
In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis walks through Luke 14, John 6,
and several defining encounters from the Gospels to rediscover a truth many modern
believers rarely hear clearly:
Jesus never hid the cost of following Him.
He said:
Count the cost.
Take up your cross.
Deny yourself.
Sell everything.
And when people walked away…
He let them.
This episode isn’t about harsh religion or legalism. It’s about clarity. Because when the
cost is unclear, faith feels unfair. But when the cost i...

What if they’re walking away from a version of Him that was never deep enough to carry
them through a storm?
In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis tackles a sobering question:
What did casual Christianity produce?
When decisions outpace discipleship…
When attendance outpaces obedience…
When growth outpaces depth…
Faith may look strong, until pressure hits.
Through John 6, Matthew 13, cultural realities, revival at Southeastern University, and
the taproot analogy, this episode exposes why shallow faith collapses under weight,
and how rooted faith endures.

2026-02-2318 minThe UnCommon Christian PodcastHow Casual Christianity Became Normal - When Decision Replaced DiscipleshipHow did Christianity become this casual? How did a faith that once required surrender turn into
something that rarely disrupts us?
In this episode, Jon Ellis traces the subtle shift that took place in modern American Christianity;
a shift from discipleship to decisions, from formation to momentary response, from surrender to
convenience.
This isn’t an attack on evangelism. It’s not criticism of church growth. It’s a call back to biblical
discipleship. Jesus never hid the cost. He clarified it.
When the cost of following Him isn’t explained clearly, faith feels confusing. Shallow roots
develop. Comfort becomes assumed...
2026-02-1525 minThe UnCommon Christian PodcastFaithful But Exhausted. Why Tired Doesn't Mean You're Failing.Faithful doesn’t always feel peaceful.
Sometimes it feels heavy.
In this episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis speaks directly to
believers who haven’t quit, haven’t compromised, and haven’t walked away, but are
tired in a way rest alone doesn’t fix.
This conversation reframes weariness through Scripture, not shame. You’ll learn the
difference between burnout and betrayal, why growing weary doesn’t mean you’re
failing, and how God responds to faithful exhaustion with care, not condemnation.
Drawing from Galatians 6, Isaiah 40, 1 Kings 19, Mark 6, Hebrews 12, and Romans 8,
this episode offers clarity, permission to rest without quitting...
2026-02-0914 minThe UnCommon Christian PodcastRealignment Comes With Resistance - Why Obedience Feels Harder After You Start Following JesusFollowing Jesus doesn’t just change what you believe; it changes your direction. And whenever
direction changes, resistance shows up.
Many believers are surprised by how much harder obedience feels after they commit to
following Jesus. More tension. More pressure. More internal conflict. And when no one explains
why, faithful people start assuming something is wrong with them.
In this episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis unpacks why resistance often
increases after obedience, and why that’s not a sign of failure, but confirmation that realignment
is happening.
Drawing from Scripture (John 16, Romans 6, Galatians 5, Hebrews 12, James 1), Jon explains:

2026-02-0215 minThe UnCommon Christian PodcastPressure Makes Faith Loud - Why Pressure Tests What You’re Listening ToPressure doesn’t just test obedience, it amplifies voices.
In this episode, Jon Ellis goes deeper into what happens internally when pressure increases.
Why doubts feel louder. Why thoughts feel heavier. And why faithful believers often start
questioning themselves, not because their faith is weak, but because pressure removes the
filters.
Using Scripture from 1 Kings 19 and James 1, this episode explores how pressure exposes
which voices we’re listening to, how accusation leads to confusion, and how discernment can be
strengthened when everything feels noisy.
This conversation builds directly off the YouTube message “You’re Not Weak…. You’re Under
Pressure” and is designe...

Sometimes obedience doesn’t look like progress. Sometimes faith doesn’t feel victorious.
And sometimes standing still feels like failure.
In UNC020, Jon Ellis speaks directly to believers who didn’t quit, didn’t compromise, and didn’t
walk away, but still feel stuck because nothing has changed.
Using Exodus 14 and the moment Israel stood trapped at the Red Sea, this episode reframes
waiting as positioning, not punishment. You’ll learn why standing can be the most obedient
move you make, why silence doesn’t mean God is absent, and how God often move...

And standing is exactly what the enemy hoped you’d stop doing.
In this episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis speaks directly to the believer
who obeyed God, stood firm, and refused to compromise, but is now growing tired of doing the
right thing with no visible results.
Drawing from Ephesians 6:13, Galatians 6:9, and the example of Jesus in Gethsemane, this
episode reveals why standing isn’t passive, why endurance is spiritual warfare, and how
pressure is often the enemy’s strategy when temptation fails.

In this episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis exposes a truth many believers
aren’t prepared for: Obedience is Warfare. If following Jesus has made your life harder, more
resisted, or more pressured, not easier, you’re not failing. You’re engaged.
Drawing from Ephesians 6, Galatians 5, Luke 4, and 2 Corinthians 10, this episode breaks down
why resistance often confirms obedience rather than disproves it. You’ll discover how spiritual
warfare usually shows up, not through dramatic encounters, but through delayed obedience,

In this New Year episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis exposes why
so many believers feel spiritually exhausted: they’re trying to live the Christian life
without the Holy Spirit leading it.
The Spirit-filled life isn’t emotional hype or theological preference — it’s the difference
between survival and victory.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
● Why willpower and discipline can’t sustain obedience

In this Christmas episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis confronts the
quiet erosion of holiness in modern Christianity. Not legalism. Not perfectionism. But
what Scripture actually means when it calls believers to live set apart, not as an image
to protect, but an identity to walk in.
Christmas didn’t come to make us comfortable, it came to make us holy. And when
holiness is redefined or avoided, devotion fades, obedience delays, and spiritual hunger
slowly dies.
In this episode, you’ll discover:

In this episode, Jon Ellis breaks down what Jesus actually said about rejection and why
following Him will cost you socially, but will never cost you your identity. You’ll learn why
rejection is often revelation, how to stand strong when people walk away, and how the
Holy Spirit empowers you to stay faithful in a culture obsessed with approval.

Revelation 2:4-5, Jon reveals how drift begins, how it grows, and how to recognize it
before it steals your fire.

why Jesus didn’t invite us into a convenient Christianity, but a costly, courageous one.

getting real about the price of living set apart in a world that celebrates comfort and
compromise.
Many wear the name “Christian,” but few are willing to pay the price of true discipleship. Jesus
didn’t call us to fit in—He called us to stand out, to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow
Him.

you to live a bold, obedient, and set-apart life for Jesus. In a world where Christianity has been hijacked
by tradition and watered down by culture, we’re diving deep into what it really means to follow Christ.
In this first episode, we tackle the difference between a common Christian and an uncommon Christian.
We explore why faith is more than a title, how Jesus calls us to a transformed life, and what it means to
surrender fully to Him.
