    Pharaoh's Magicians Reveal a Dangerous Christian Habit

    What if one of the greatest obstacles to experiencing God's power is our constant need to prove our own? While rereading the book of Exodus, I noticed something I had never paid much attention to before. When God sent the first plagues upon Egypt, Pharaoh's magicians immediately tried to replicate them. Water turned to blood? They turned more water to blood. Frogs covering the land? They produced more frogs. Instead of trying to undo the suffering, they added to it—all in an effort to prove they still had control. The more I reflected on that response, the more I realized how often we do the same thing. It's easy to see this tendency in Pharaoh or even in skeptics who refuse to consider the possibility of God. But what if Christians struggle with the same problem? When we're exhausted, insecure, anxious, or facing difficulties, how often is our first instinct to work harder, fix ourselves, or prove we're capable rather than surrendering the situation to God? In this episode, we explore the surprising lesson hidden within the early plagues of Exodus and how the magicians' response mirrors our own tendency to grasp for control. We'll talk about what true surrender looks like, why spiritual disciplines can sometimes become tools of self-reliance, and how admitting our weakness may be the very thing that opens the door to God's strength. Sometimes God isn't asking us to become better magicians. Sometimes He's asking us to stop pretending we're magicians at all. Join me as I share a personal study, my own struggles with surrender, and the simple prayer that has helped me begin letting go of control and trusting God more deeply.   Email: truthbetoldbiblepodcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TruthBeToldYouTube Logo: Matt Hernandez Music: Acoustic Indie Folk Years By MarkJuly   #ChristianPodcast #BibleStudy #Exodus #ChristianLiving #FaithInGod #TrustGod #SurrenderToGod #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianEncouragement #BiblicalTruth #GodsWill #FaithJourney #ChristianYouTube #JesusChrist #ChristianTeaching #LetGoAndLetGod #TrustingGod #ChristianDiscipleship #WalkingWithGod #BibleTeaching #FaithOverFear #ChristianContent #SpiritualFormation #KingdomMindset #ChristianMessage #JannesandJambres #HotepandHuy #PrinceofEgypt #10Plagues #TenPlagues #Moses #Pharaoh #Egypt #fyp #fypyoutube

    Charlie Duke's Incredible Journey: From the Moon to Faith in Christ (Interview)

    In this special episode of Truth Be Told, we sit down with Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke—the 10th man to walk on the Moon, former Apollo 11 CAPCOM, and the youngest person ever to set foot on the lunar surface. Drawing from his historic experiences exploring the Moon and viewing Earth from space, Duke reflects on wonder, humanity, purpose, and the profound questions that have captivated people for generations. We discuss the relationship between science and faith, whether space exploration strengthened his belief in God, the possibility of intelligent extraterrestrial life, and whether the discovery of aliens would challenge Christianity. Charlie also shares the remarkable story of his spiritual transformation after Apollo, the search for meaning beyond achievement, and what seeing Earth from the Moon taught him about God, humanity, and our place in the universe. Whether you're interested in apologetics, theology, space exploration, Christianity, or the Apollo program, this conversation offers a fascinating perspective from one of the few people in human history to have walked on another world.   Email: truthbetoldbiblepodcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TruthBeToldYouTube Logo: Matt Hernandez Music: Acoustic Indie Folk Years By MarkJuly Image/Audio/Video Credit: NASA   Relevant Links: Charlie's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Moonwalker-Dotty-Duke-ebook/dp/B01FBES2AE/ref=sr_1_2?adgrpid=1345804784361678&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.wUR3m6BhutUnDBIp04DcWyT7tqGM-EcSB6QMg_JkEa5qgm27mtjVe3MiCiIv5b1GyvjESo6wZku1NYpDOQNOeM95v54OFDMxqasaK382hn35IdhSsQTxE20CCqxL1SrsRZWBoEpzh5GIMEyGVk7g7g.MbBghDTbXPj002dHfCUgTRxmmJ2vLaRILBvg-2hn_3I&dib_tag=se&hvadid=84113081114533&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=60677&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvtargid=kwd-84113996446174%3Aloc-190&hydadcr=22536_13494472&keywords=charlie+duke+book&mcid=bbde435edecb3065b7b5f37954d267b0&msclkid=0d015659ab78162b889b3c6c22dec1ce&qid=1781893545&sr=8-2 Duke Ministry For Christ: https://www.dukeministryforchrist.org/ Charlie's Website: https://charlieduke.com/   #CharlieDuke #Apollo16 #FaithandScience #TruthBeToldPodcast #CharlieDuke #Apollo16 #MoonLanding #ApolloProgram #NASA #Astronaut #SpaceExploration #Christianity #ChristianPodcast #FaithAndScience #ScienceAndFaith #ChristianApologetics #Apologetics #BiblicalWorldview #ChristianWorldview #GodAndScience #EvidenceForGod #Theology #Faith #ChristianThought #ReasonAndFaith #ChristianLiving #AliensAndChristianity #ExtraterrestrialLife #LifeInTheUniverse #MeaningOfLife #Purpose #Wonder #Humanity #SpaceAndFaith #MoonWalker #ApolloAstronaut #NASAHistory #ExploreTheUniverse #ChristianInterview

    Look Up And Live

    Why do some sermons about sin leave us burdened while others leave us transformed? In this episode, we explore the tension between warning and invitation in Christian preaching. While sin is real and destructive, the Gospel is ultimately good news. Drawing from the teachings of Jesus, the story of the bronze serpent in Numbers 21 we examine how true repentance is more than turning away from sin—it's turning toward life in Christ. What happens when Christians become experts in their wounds but lose sight of the cure? Why did Jesus proclaim, "Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand"? And how can preaching expose sin honestly while inspiring hope, faith, and transformation? If you've wrestled with legalism, grace, repentance, discipleship, or the balance between truth and hope, this conversation offers a biblical perspective on what it really means to "look up and live."   Email: truthbetoldbiblepodcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TruthBeToldYouTube Logo: Matt Hernandez Music: Acoustic Indie Folk Years By MarkJuly #Christianity #Gospel #Repentance #JesusChrist #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #Faith #KingdomOfGod #John3 #Numbers21 #ChristianTeaching #GraceAndTruth #faith #bible #Jesus #bronzeserpent #Moses #God #repent #evangelism #Gospel #theology #apologetics

    Remembering How Good The Good News Really Is

    Bad news is everywhere. We hear it from the media, from social media, and sometimes even from the pulpit. But are we so conditioned to expect bad news that we've forgotten how to receive good news? In this episode, we explore the biblical and psychological power of renewing the mind, gratitude, and intentionally dwelling on the realities that should transform us. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and insights from counseling psychology, we examine three life-changing truths that many Christians know intellectually but struggle to fully internalize: Jesus Christ died for you, you have direct access to the presence of God through the Holy Spirit, and God has chosen to use you in His work on the earth. What if the Gospel is even better news than we've allowed ourselves to believe? And what if learning to remember it, repeat it, and be grateful for it could reshape the way we live? If you've been discouraged, anxious, spiritually weary, or simply in need of hope, this conversation is a reminder that the good news is still good.   Email: truthbetoldbiblepodcast@gmail.com  Logo: Matt Hernandez Music: Acoustic Indie Folk Years By MarkJuly

    Do Christians Ever IDOLIZE Salvation??

    Do Christians sometimes love salvation more than the God who saved them? Salvation is one of the greatest gifts ever given—but what if it was never meant to be our ultimate goal? In this episode, we explore a challenging question: can salvation itself become an idol when our deepest desire is simply to be safe, avoid judgment, or make it into the Kingdom? Scripture calls us to much more than self-preservation. Men like Moses and Paul were so captivated by God's purpose that they were willing to sacrifice their own comfort—and even their own salvation—for the sake of others. The Bible speaks of those who have been saved, are being saved, and will be saved. Salvation is a process that reconciles us to God, but reconciliation was never the end of the story. We are saved for something. God is creating a family, bringing many sons and daughters to glory, and inviting us to participate in His work. We'll discuss: -Why the Christian life can become stagnant when our primary focus is simply "making it" AND -How everything changes when God Himself becomes our greatest desire. Drawing from Scripture, the Westminster Shorter Catechism, and Jesus' own words in John 17:3, we'll examine what it means to glorify God, enjoy Him forever, and find our purpose in knowing Him. Salvation is not a trophy to place on a shelf. It is a gift meant to be used. The question is: what are you doing with it? Check this episode out as we consider why God saved us, what He is accomplishing in the world, and how our lives can become aligned with His purpose rather than merely our own security.   Email: truthbetoldbiblepodcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TruthBeToldYouTube Logo: Matt Hernandez Music: Acoustic Indie Folk Years By MarkJuly   #ChristianPodcast #Christianity #BibleStudy #Faith #JesusChrist #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTruth #Discipleship #Gospel #KingdomOfGod #Salvation #EternalLife #KnowGod #LoveGod #FollowingJesus #ChristianGrowth #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #BiblicalTeaching #ChristianDiscussion #PurposeInChrist #GodsPurpose #GlorifyGod #ChristianMotivation #Theology #ChristianTheology #ChristianWorldview #KingdomMindset #FaithOverFear #LivingForGod #John173 #WestminsterCatechism #GospelMessage #ChristianEncouragement #BiblePodcast #FaithPodcast #JesusIsLord #ChristianContent #BiblicalWisdom #ChristianCommunity #DoYouKnowGod #WhyDidGodSaveUs #MoreThanSalvation #RelationshipWithGod #ChristianQuestions #DeepFaith #ChristianPerspective #KingdomLiving #LoveGodFirst #CreatedForPurpose

    Politicians, Scripture, and the Claim That Jesus Never Asked Us To Worship Him

    Politicians quoting Scripture doesn’t automatically make their message biblical. In this episode , we respond to a claim made by James Talarico, a democrat running for U.S. Senate in Texas, that “Jesus never asked us to worship Him” and examine what the Bible actually says about the identity of Christ. From forgiving sins to accepting worship after His resurrection, the Gospels paint a clear picture of who Jesus claimed to be and what it truly means to follow Him. We also discuss the increasing use of Christian language in politics and why believers need discernment no matter which side of the aisle is speaking. Whether Scripture is being used to gain support, justify ideology, or soften unbiblical teaching, Christians are called to know God’s Word deeply enough to recognize truth from distortion. We’ll examine: • Did Jesus claim to be God? • Why did Jesus accept worship? • What does it mean to follow Christ? • Can Christianity exist without worshipping Jesus? • The danger of reshaping God to fit political agendas If we aren’t rooted in Scripture ourselves, we’ll always be vulnerable to people who use it incorrectly.   Email: truthbetoldbiblepodcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TruthBeToldYouTube Logo: Matt Hernandez Music: Acoustic Indie Folk Years By MarkJuly   #Christianity #JesusChrist #BibleStudy #Apologetics #TruthBeTold #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalTruth #JesusIsGod #Faith #Theology #ChristianYouTube #BibleTeaching #Discernment #ChristianLiving #GospelTruth #PoliticsAndReligion #Bible #ChristianContent #Scripture #FollowJesus #JamesTalarico #DonaldTrump #ChristianPolitics

    Bryce Crawford vs. Kenneth Copeland: Is There A Difference?

    There has been a LOT of discussion online surrounding Bryce Crawford, Christian influencers, money, ministry, and where the line is between making a living and exploiting the Gospel. After publicly challenging prosperity preacher Kenneth Copeland, Bryce Crawford launched an energy drink brand, announced speaking tours, and began selling high-priced tickets — leading many Christians to ask: 👉 Is this biblical? 👉 Is profiting from ministry wrong? 👉 At what point does influence become self-promotion? 👉 Can Christians build platforms without compromising the Gospel? In this episode of Truth Be Told, we examine what Scripture ACTUALLY says about money, ministry, dishonesty, motives, and preaching the Gospel. We discuss: Bryce Crawford and the current controversy Why Kenneth Copeland’s teaching is dangerous What the Bible says about pastors and ministers making money Paul refusing financial support in certain situations Ananias & Sapphira and the real issue behind their punishment Whether wealth itself is the problem Christian influencers, branding, merch, and monetization Why discipleship is bigger than social media numbers The danger of replacing personal ministry with passive support online Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that YOU have a role in the Great Commission. Christianity was never meant to be something we only watch from a distance through influencers, podcasts, and platforms. The Gospel spreads through relationships, discipleship, conversation, sacrifice, and faithfulness.   Email: truthbetoldbiblepodcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TruthBeToldYouTube Logo: Matt Hernandez Music: Acoustic Indie Folk Years By MarkJuly   #Christianity #Bible #Jesus #Christian #Faith #God #BibleStudy #Gospel #Truth #Church #ChristianPodcast #ChristianYouTube #Apologetics #Theology #BiblicalTruth #Discernment #ChristianInfluencer #BryceCrawford #KennethCopeland #ProsperityGospel #Ministry #ChristianDebate #ChristianReels #ChristianContent #Discipleship #GreatCommission #Evangelism #BiblicalTeaching #ChristianDiscussion #FaithOverFeelings #FollowJesus #BibleTeaching #TruthBeTold #ChristianCommunity #Scripture #Podcast #YouTubePodcast #CultureAndChristianity #DefendTheFaith #theology #apologetics #faith #spirituality #religion #bible #biblical #holybible #Jesus #Christ #JesusChrist #God #Christianliving #church #scripture #fyp #fypyoutube

    A Layered Approach to Parables

    In this episode, we dive deep into the parables of Jesus in Matthew 13 and wrestle with a question many Christians rarely stop to ask: are we always reading the parables the way Jesus intended? From the Parable of the Sower and the Wheat and Weeds to the Mustard Seed, the Leaven, the Net, and the Pearl of Great Price, Jesus tells layered stories about the Kingdom of God that often resist simplistic interpretations. Sometimes Jesus explains the meaning directly — and sometimes He leaves room for discussion, curiosity, and deeper reflection. What if the point of the parables isn’t just identifying “who represents who” in every story? What if Jesus intended His disciples to wrestle with these teachings in a more profound way? In this conversation, we explore: • The purpose of parables in Jewish rabbinical teaching • Why Matthew 13 can challenge rigid Bible interpretation • The Parable of the the Pearl of Great Price • How the Kingdom of God reveals both God’s value to us AND our value to Him • Why biblical interpretation requires humility, curiosity, and context This episode is for anyone who has ever struggled with understanding the parables of Jesus, wants deeper Bible study insights, or is seeking a richer understanding of the Kingdom of God.   Email: truthbetoldbiblepodcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TruthBeToldYouTube Logo: Matt Hernandez Music: Acoustic Indie Folk Years By MarkJuly
