    Answering the SPICIEST Questions About Marriage, S3X, and Gender Roles | Live Free with Josh Howerton

    In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastor Josh Howerton and Jana Howerton dive into one of the most culturally controversial and biblically clear topics: God’s design for marriage. They unpack the theological foundation of headship and helpership from Genesis 2 and Ephesians 5, explaining why loving leadership and respectful support are not oppressive ideas, but protective ones. Rather than competing roles, Scripture presents marriage as a complementary covenant designed for strength, stability, and spiritual growth. The conversation moves into practical and often avoided topics including sexual integrity before and within marriage, emotional boundaries with the opposite sex, in-law dynamics, divorce and restoration, and how trust is rebuilt after betrayal. With clarity and conviction, they show how obedience to God’s Word—not cultural trends—leads to peace and flourishing in the home. In this episode, you’ll learn: What the Bible actually teaches about headship and submission Why “helper” is a position of strength, not weakness How words shape the health of your marriage The difference between loving leadership and passive abdication Why sexual boundaries protect covenant intimacy When divorce is biblically permitted — and when restoration is possible 💬 Comment HAT for this week’s giveaway 📲 Text MARRIAGE to 20411 for your next step 🧢 Visit LiveFree.shop for merch

    Christian Pastors Debate Bad Bunny Half Time Show!? | Live Free with Josh Howerton

    In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham tackle one of the most debated theological questions in Christianity: Does the Bible actually teach predestination? They walk through key Scriptures, clarify common misconceptions, and explain why God’s sovereignty and human responsibility are not enemies. Rather than dividing believers, a right understanding of this doctrine should strengthen confidence in evangelism and deepen trust in God’s character.    The conversation then moves to Luke 15 and the heart of the Father in the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and lost sons, unpacking the cultural background, exposing the danger of “older brother” religion, and offering practical tools for reaching the “one more” in your life through prayer, everyday conversations, and the B.L.E.S.S. method. The episode closes with cultural analysis around the Bad Bunny Super Bowl controversy, showing how Christians can stand firm in truth while still reflecting God’s compassion for lost people made in His image.   In this episode, you’ll learn: What the Bible really teaches about predestination Why sovereignty and evangelism are not enemies The powerful context behind Luke 15’s parables How to know if you’re drifting into “older brother” syndrome A practical framework for helping someone take one step closer to Jesus How to respond to culture with clarity and compassion 💬 Comment HAT for this week’s giveaway 🧢 Visit LiveFree.shop for merch 📲 Text APP to 20411 for the Lakepointe app

    Megachurch Pastor Reacts to James Talarico's INSANE Claims on ABORTION!? | Live Free with Josh Howerton

    Did Jesus stay silent on abortion and homosexuality, or are progressive politicians twisting Scripture to fit a modern agenda?   In this LIVE FREE reaction video, Pastor Josh Howerton responds directly to James Talarico’s viral claims on Joe Rogan that Jesus “never talked about” homosexuality or abortion and that Christians have made these issues central for political reasons. Walking carefully through Scripture, this episode dismantles the argument from silence, explains why Jesus’ affirmation of Genesis defines marriage clearly, and shows how the New Testament directly addresses sexual ethics and the sanctity of life. If you’ve heard these talking points online and felt confused, this is the biblical clarity you’ve been looking for.   You’ll learn: Why “Jesus never said it” is a weak theological argument How Matthew 19 defines marriage and excludes modern redefinitions Why Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 6 directly address homosexuality Whether abortion is truly absent from biblical teaching How cultural pressure reshapes theology and how to resist it Why the real issue is the authority of Scripture and the Lordship of Christ This isn’t about politics. It’s about truth.   👉 Subscribe for weekly conversations on faith, culture, and biblical clarity 📱 Download the Lakepointe Church App: Text APP to 20411   Stand firm. Think biblically. Live free.

    How is Empathy Weaponized to Manipulate You?! (ft. Allie Beth Stuckey) | Live Free with Josh Howerton

    Are Jewish people who don’t believe in Jesus still saved, and what does the Bible really say about Israel, stewardship, and the end times? In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham tackle one of the most misunderstood theological questions in Christianity today. Walking through Luke 19 and Romans 9–11, the conversation addresses salvation, ethnicity, faith, and God’s ongoing plan for Israel, cutting through sentimentality, political pressure, and internet half-truths with clear biblical reasoning. The episode also breaks down Jesus’ teaching on stewardship, rewards, money, and faithfulness. In the second half, we’re joined by Allie Beth Stuckey, host of Relatable, to discuss why Hillary Clinton recently published a hit piece targeting her, and what it reveals about power, truth, and cultural intimidation when Christian convictions refuse to bend. You’ll learn: Whether ethnicity or sincerity can save anyone. How Romans 11 explains God’s plan for Israel and the coming revival before Christ’s return Why the destruction of the Temple in AD 70 confirms Jesus’ authority and prophecy What Luke 19 teaches about stewardship, faithfulness, and eternal rewards Whether tithing is biblical and the deeper principle behind giving God the “first” Why faithfulness matters more than fame, applause, or platform 👉 Subscribe for weekly conversations on faith, culture, and biblical truth 🎁 Comment Whataburger or In-and-Out on YouTube and Spotify for this week’s LIVE FREE giveaway 📱 Download the Lakepointe Church App: Text APP to 20411   Stand firm.

    Megachurch Pastor Reacts to Billie Eilish & Jelly Roll's Grammy Speeches | Live Free with Josh Howerton

    Does the Bible shape how you feel about culture, or how you see culture?   In this LIVE FREE special reaction episode, Pastor Josh reacts to the GRAMMYs, Billie Eilish’s “No one is illegal on stolen land” moment and Jelly Roll’s bold, Jesus-centered acceptance speech, and uses Scripture to show the difference between using the Bible as a mirror and as a lens (James 1) for evaluating what’s happening in the world. You’ll also hear a clear contrast between performative courage that wins applause and real courage that risks something, plus why Romans 1 explains a culture that celebrates lawlessness while calling biblical conviction “hate.”   You’ll learn: The two ways Christians must use the Bible: mirror vs lens (James 1) Why “stolen land” talking points collapse under basic history and logic How selective outrage gets weaponized to advance an agenda Why “you don’t live in a fascist dictatorship” if dissent gets standing ovations Romans 1’s warning: a society that approves what God condemns What Jelly Roll’s testimony reveals about the power of Scripture, repentance, and public witness The difference between conservative Christians vs Christian conservatives 💻 Join Live Free Nation: If these bonus reaction episodes are helpful, drop a comment on YouTube: your feedback tells us whether to keep doing them.   Stand firm.

    Megachurch Pastor Reacts to Rhett McLaughlin GASLIGHTING Christians | Live Free with Josh Howerton

    Are Christians forbidden from engaging in politics, or is Scripture being selectively weaponized to keep believers silent? In this LIVE FREE special reaction episode, Pastor Josh responds to Rhett & Link’s viral commentary on Christianity and politics, breaking down the biblical errors, cultural assumptions, and spiritual forces underneath the argument that Christians should “stay out of power.” This episode draws a clear line between faithful doubt vs. deliberate deception, and explains why political passivity is not a virtue, but a strategy the Bible warns us about. You’ll learn: - Why Jesus rejecting Satan’s offer was not a rejection of political authority, but of acquiring it the wrong way - The difference between refugees from doubt and apostles of unbelief (Jude 22–23) - Why “My kingdom is not of this world” is commonly misunderstood, and what Jesus actually meant - How secularism turns politics into a substitute religion (and why the state becomes god) - Why voting is not a sacrament, but a moral decision between available options - What it means to be the salt of the earth and how Christians are called to slow decay, not retreat - Why culture didn’t become political, the government became theological - How Scripture views power, dominion, and Christ as King of Kings over every sphere 👇 DROP A COMMENT: Do you want more reaction/test-drive episodes like this? 🎁 GIVEAWAY: Comment on YouTube for a chance to win a LIVE FREE hat. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for unapologetically biblical clarity 🔔 Turn on notifications so you don’t miss future episodes
