    89. Living in Denial | What It Really Means to Follow Jesus

    Have we misunderstood one of Jesus’ most quoted commands? “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself…” — it’s a familiar phrase, often quoted and rarely questioned. But why did Jesus say it? In this episode, we dive into the context behind the command—a moment when Peter, speaking from a culturally-ingrained view of Messiah, tries to correct Jesus. What seems like bold loyalty is actually a subtle rebellion—a human-centered perspective that Jesus flatly rebukes as Satanic. But here’s the twist: this isn’t just about Peter. It’s about us. You’ll discover how Jesus draws a stark line between “the things of man” and “the things of God”—and how every thought, decision, and desire is part of one of two teams. Neutrality? Not an option. We’ll explore: Why Peter’s rebuke of Jesus wasn’t just misguided—it was spiritually dangerousWhat it really means to “deny yourself” in a world that glorifies selfHow our version of Jesus can sometimes look more like our ambitions than our SaviorThe shocking reality that choosing self often means siding with Satan Join us for a bold, eye-opening message that reminds us: following Jesus doesn’t begin with self-fulfillment—it begins with self-denial.

    88. Recentering Christianity | Why Marginal Things Should Not Be the Central Focus

    In this episode, we explore a prevalent danger in modern Christianity: the temptation to elevate secondary issues to primary importance. From cultural debates to church preferences, it's easy to let marginal concerns distract us from the central message of Christ. We'll look at Biblical examples, real-world implications, and practical ways to recenter our faith on what truly matters—Jesus Himself. If you've ever felt like church is missing the main point, this episode is for you.

    87. Cain Went Out From the Presence of the Lord | What the Story of Cain Teaches Us About the Evil of Our Own Hearts

    In this sobering episode, we peer into the tragic story of Cain—not just to study a man who fell, but to hold up a mirror to our own hearts. What led Cain to go out from the presence of the Lord? It culminated in murder, but it began with a subtle, growing disregard for God’s commands—an inward rebellion that turned into outward wrath. His story reveals the path many still take today: from spiritual apathy, to resentment of righteousness, to complete self-absorption. Cain's fall is not just ancient history—it’s a warning. Join us as we unpack Genesis 4 and discover how to recognize and resist the same impulses that lead only to tragedy.

    86. Strive Not With Your Maker | Accepting the Humble Means of God's Deliverance

    What if the thing you're resisting is the very thing God wants to use to deliver you? In this week's episode, we’ll dive into Isaiah 45 and uncover a stunning prophecy—one that predicted both the fall of Israel and their miraculous rescue, not through a mighty prophet or a Hebrew king, but by a pagan ruler named Cyrus. Centuries before it happened, God had a plan. And yet, Israel was reluctant to accept the humble means of their deliverance.This lesson will challenge the way we see God’s methods. We’ll explore how pride causes us to question our Maker, how we often despise His simple and sometimes unexpected means of deliverance, and why the wisest response is simple...surrender.

    85. The Other Reasons For Revelation | Getting a Clearer Image of God Through the Moral Law, the Bible, and Jesus Christ

    In this episode we complete our examination into the revelation—God's self-disclosure to man. We learn how the conscience and our ability to reason point to a moral law outside of ourselves that strongly suggest not only the existence of God, but also at what type of God might exist—namely, one who cares about the way we live our lives and how we treat our neighbor. We also find that the Bible provides us with a higher clarity portrait of God's nature compared to other forms like nature or morality. But it does so not by dismissing lower methods of revelation, but by building on top of what has already been revealed. And we conclude by realizing that at the top of the pyramid of revelation stands God Himself as revealed in the person of Jesus Christ—the express image of God the Father. Join us for this in depth look at the incredible doctrine of revelation!
