    holy aesthetic

    Everyone talks about aesthetic. Your feed, your room, your coffee shop, your fit. But there’s a Greek word in the Bible that only shows up one time in the entire New Testament, and it might change the way you see your whole life. In this episode of Amen Podcast, Pastor Alex and Lokelani Wilson walk through Philippians 1 verses 9 through 11 and unpack what Paul actually prayed for the church. Spoiler: it’s not about how your life looks. It’s about what you can see. We talk about the difference between feeling something is off and knowing something is off, why love without knowledge falls apart, why knowledge without love falls apart, and the two questions that will help you discern almost any decision you face. Plus, Lokelani shares what she’s discerning two days from her due date with baby number seven.

  2. The Authority of Christ

    APR 18

    The Authority of Christ

    We spent years in Matthew. And it ends here — not with a theology lecture, but with eleven doubting disciples on a mountain, a risen Jesus who doesn’t rebuke them, and a commission that changed the world. STUDY GUIDE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nkkLG3gMG6BC7PHbM8Lm9NHdX0VMDQr6/view?usp=share_link Matthew 28:16–20 is the final exhale of the greatest story ever told. And the thing that hits hardest isn’t the Great Commission itself — it’s who Jesus gives it to. Doubters. Men who walked with Him for three years, watched Him die, heard the women say He was alive, and still showed up to that mountain unsure of what they were even looking at. And Jesus says: All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go. In this episode we ask the question nobody wants to sit with — what is doubt actually costing you? Not just spiritually. In your marriage, your calling, your obedience, your worship. Because doubt isn’t neutral. If doubt takes root, death still reigns. Whatever you’re doubting God about — that thing has taken the throne. And the only cure isn’t more effort. It’s looking at the authority of Christ and saying to everything else: you’re not my dad. We also get into the Trinity — why Jesus is equal in divinity but subordinate in function, what it means that a human being is seated on the throne right now, and why the resurrection is the proof that the one with all authority over your life actually loves you and wasn’t forced. We close with the commission: Go. Baptize. Make disciples. Teach. And the promise underneath all of it — I am with you always, to the end of the age. This is the end of Matthew. And it’s just the beginning. 📖 Scripture: Matthew 28:16–20 📚 References: Ray Ortlund, John Piper, 1 Corinthians 15, Romans, Ephesians 2:8–9 🎙️ New episode every week | Verse-by-verse through the Bible 🏠 House Church Podcast housechurchkauai.com: available everywhere 💛 Support us ad-free: amenpodcast.com | Venmo: @amenpodcast | Cash App: $amenalex Get full access to Amen Podcast at amenpodcast.substack.com/subscribe
