The Madison Church PodcastSteady Faith In Unsteady TimesWhat do you do when the results don’t match your prayers? We walk through Acts 12 with clear eyes and an open heart, tracing the jarring contrast between James’ execution and Peter’s surprising escape, then zooming out to ask what genuine faithfulness looks like when outcomes diverge. Along the way, we confront our cultural reflex to equate success with virtue and suffering with failure, and we trade quick fixes for a deeper, steadier trust.Together we unpack Luke’s deliberate storytelling: the same church, the same faith, radically different endings—and no blame game. We sit with the d...

Madison Church: South Hill PodcastThe Spiritual Gift of Faith W/ Pastor BradIn this week’s message, Pastor Brad invites us to rediscover the beauty and power of the spiritual gift of faith: not just as belief, but as the Spirit-given gift that moves mountains. Drawing from Hebrews 11, Mark 9, and stories of Madison’s own journey, we’re reminded that faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance in what we cannot see. Whether you feel full of faith or are praying, “Lord, help my unbelief,” this episode calls us to walk by faith in Christ trusting the One who has carried us this far.
2025-11-0529 minThe Madison Church PodcastFrom Secret Knowledge to Embodied Love: Dismantling Gnosticism’s Grip on Modern FaithWhat if the quiet crisis in modern Christianity isn’t doubt, but distraction—a version of faith that sounds right and changes little? We go straight at the subtle Gnosticism that still haunts church culture today: the lure of secret knowledge, the shrug toward the physical world, and the fantasy of escape. Then we lay it beside Paul’s charge in Romans 12 to offer our bodies as living worship and James’s blunt verdict that faith without works isn’t weak—it’s dead. The result is a practical roadmap for moving from belief to embodiment, from thoughts and prayers to pre...

2025-10-0724 minThe Madison Church PodcastAgainst Secret Faith: Colossians, Matthew, and the Gnostic TemptationWhat if the ideas blurring your faith are older than you think—and far sneakier? We trace the enduring pull of Gnosticism, the age‑old promise that secret knowledge can lift you above ordinary life, and we measure it against the clarity of Scripture. Colossians 1 stands like a lighthouse in the fog, naming Jesus as the visible image of the invisible God, the creator who holds all things together and reconciles heaven and earth. That vision doesn’t invite escape from the material world; it dignifies bodies, limits, and place as the arena where grace takes root.From t...

Their failure wasn't a lack of knowledge or even wrong practices; it was that they had substi...

This singular act transformed his experience from mere physical healing to complete salvation.
