  1. Annihilationism, Hell, & the Weight of God’s Holiness

    JAN 2

    Annihilationism, Hell, & the Weight of God’s Holiness

    What if shrinking God’s wrath also shrinks His love? In response to recent comments from Kirk Cameron, we step straight into the debate around annihilationism—whether the wicked simply cease to exist—and test it against Scripture, God’s holiness, and the staggering worth of Christ’s sacrifice. With clear definitions and an open-handed tone, we unpack why Jesus spoke so often and so specifically about hell, how Matthew 25 ties “eternal life” and “eternal punishment” together, and why the smoke of torment rising “forever and ever” in Revelation poses a serious challenge to temporary judgment. From Eden to the cross, we explore the difference between behavior and motive, and how judgment restores order so we can draw near on God’s terms. We take on the common objection that “temporal sins” can’t warrant eternal consequences by reframing sin as an offense measured by the infinite value of the One offended. If sin were small, a finite being could pay it off; but Scripture insists the price is too costly—hence the necessity and beauty of an infinite Savior bearing an infinite debt. We also address consciousness after death, “soul sleep,” and why soul and spirit language in the Bible calls for humility rather than neat labels. With care, we note where near‑death testimonies echo biblical patterns—angelic protection, spiritual deception, and striking consistencies—without letting anecdotes drive doctrine. The pastoral heart of the conversation beats loudest: fear may wake us up, but love keeps us. Don’t choose Jesus just to dodge hell; choose Him because He’s the treasure above heaven itself, the fountain of living water, the bread from heaven. If you care about truth, love people far from God, or simply want a sturdier hope, this one matters.

  2. The Christmas Controversy | Kingdom or Commercial?

    12/17/2025

    The Christmas Controversy | Kingdom or Commercial?

    The holiday arguments are loud, but the center is quiet and clear: the kingdom of God is not about eating, drinking, or a date on the calendar. We wade into the Christmas debates with receipts, Scripture, and pastoral wisdom, showing how to keep your conscience clean and your love strong without slipping into legalism or compromise. We start by dismantling the common claims about December 25. Drawing from early church voices like Hippolytus, Tertullian, and Julius Africanus, we show how Christians honored the Incarnation long before Nicaea and long before Sol Invictus was linked to that day. From there, we tackle the “Jeremiah 10 bans Christmas trees” meme and explain why the text targets carved idols, not living room decor. History, context, and hermeneutics matter—and they free us from recycled internet myths. Then we turn to the heart work: Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 8–10. Some believers celebrate; others refrain. Both can honor Christ. The stronger brother yields freedom for love; the weaker brother is protected, not mocked. We explore how to hear the Spirit in gray areas, where to draw bright lines against real evil, and how to avoid making private convictions into universal laws. Along the way we address correction vs forbearance, forgiveness that protects our witness, and hard questions about marriage, suffering, and boundaries. The throughline is simple: present your body as a living sacrifice, let the Word discern your motives, and let your practices—holiday or otherwise—flow from a life saturated with Jesus. If you’re ready to trade outrage for wisdom and fear for freedom, press play. And if this conversation helps you walk in righteousness, peace, and joy, share it with a friend, subscribe, and leave a review to help others find the show.

    Political Islam | Discerning Sharia's Trend in the West

    What if the global order that kept the seas open and the dollar strong is the same order that must weaken for prophecy to unfold? We dig into the petrodollar’s origins, why America’s role as world policeman must eventually fade, and how this correlates to an Islamic invasion built around Sharia—more than a religion, a system. From “house of war” vs “house of peace” to the logic of taqiyya and the many faces of jihad, we connect headlines to history without losing sight of people Jesus loves. We field hard questions on Sunni and Shia, the authority of the hadith, and expectations around the Mahdi and Isa. The parallels with biblical categories are jarring: a unifying leader, a global religious impulse, and language at the UN that sounds like covenant-making. But our aim isn’t to sensationalize. It’s to anchor hope. We explain why Islam doesn’t fit the “Judeo‑Christian” frame, how its works-based pillars collide with the gospel of grace, and why food laws and rituals miss the center: a new heart, a new Spirit, and a new allegiance. The most urgent takeaway lands at home. A faith that costs nothing produces crowds, not disciples. Drawing lessons from the revival in Iran, we talk about why persecution clarifies love, how nominal Christianity withers under pressure, and how to recover the simplicity of following Jesus—deny yourself, pick up your cross, and live by the Spirit. Discernment matters too: not every manifestation is holy, and the Spirit leads with self-control, truth, and obedience. If you’re ready to swap outrage for intercession and fear for fidelity, this conversation will steady your heart for whatever comes next.

    Show Me Your Glory | When Suffering Clashes with the Spirit with Eric Swithin

    Watch on YouTube What if the most beautiful worship you’ll ever offer comes from the bottom—when all you have left is trust? Director and combat veteran Eric Swithin sits down with us to unpack Show Me Your Glory, a film forged in prayer that gathers verified testimonies from around the world and refuses to skip the chapters on suffering. We talk through why Scripture pairs miracles with waiting and weakness, how God “recycles” pain into ministry, and what real fruit looks like beyond hype: people saved, faith strengthened, and Jesus at the center. Eric shares personal stories of healing, provision, and spiritual warfare, but the heartbeat is obedience. Saying yes when you’re afraid often unlocks the provision you can’t engineer—whether that’s a storm diverted in prayer or the courage to keep filming when funds run thin. From there we lean into a question everyone asks: how do you hear God’s voice? Eric’s field-tested approach is simple and demanding—saturate in Scripture to know the Shepherd’s tone, cultivate stillness, test impressions by peace and the Word, and move with humility as confirmation comes. Over time, hearing God becomes daily bread, not rare dessert. We don’t dodge the tensions in the church. We name the ditches—gifts edited out on one side, spectacle and profiteering on the other—and call for a middle way: Bible-rooted, Spirit-empowered, done in order and aimed at God’s glory. As lying signs and wonders rise, we offer clear guardrails: confess Jesus as Lord, watch the fruit, follow the Spirit’s discernment, and don’t chase spectacle. We close with a sharper invitation: settle whether the Holy Spirit truly lives in you, not with lip service but with surrender that changes desires. If your heart longs to see God magnified in both miracles and midnight seasons, this conversation will steady your steps and stir your faith. If this resonated, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review telling us how you’re learning to hear God’s voice. Your stories help others find their way.

  5. The Disclosure Deception | Choose Your Kingdom

    The Disclosure Deception | Choose Your Kingdom

    Watch on YouTube Headlines are calling it “non-human intelligence,” but the deeper question is allegiance: which kingdom are we dealing with, and how do we respond without fear or naivety? We take you from congressional hearings and military UAP videos to the places most shows won’t go—historical occult roots, theological implications of “life out there,” and what it means when abduction accounts end the moment someone invokes the name of Jesus. We unpack how Genesis, Romans 8, and the incarnation define the limits of “ET salvation,” why today’s interdimensional language actually fits the biblical category of spiritual beings, and how media has front-loaded the culture for ontological shock. From orbs to “foo fighters,” from automatic writing to the “gray” archetype, the pattern looks ancient: the same spirits in new costumes, tailored to each era’s imagination. We trace the line that connects pop-sci hopes, evolutionary narratives, and modern disclosure talk to a pressure campaign on worship—not just belief. Then we zoom into the now. AI hype, quantum promises, neural interfaces, and transhumanist dreams offer a counterfeit path to immortality. Tie that to financial control systems and you can see why Revelation 13 is less about sci-fi and more about loyalty. The mark begins with worship; the tech is just the delivery system. So what should followers of Jesus do? Stay in the Word. Stay in prayer. Stay in a healthy local church. Learn to test spirits. And be ready to demonstrate the superior kingdom like Elijah on Mount Carmel: not with spectacle, but with obedience that carries authority. If you’re looking for a clear, sober guide through the noise—one that respects evidence, engages Scripture, and refuses fear—this conversation is for you. Listen, share with a friend who’s curious or confused about UFOs and “disclosure,” and leave a review so others can find it. Your take: are we seeing aliens, demons, or something else—and where will you place your worship?

    Aftershock and Awakening | Kingdom Perspective on Current Events

    Watch on YouTube A single feed can shake a world—and also wake it up. When a public murder ricocheted across the internet, the outrage machine roared, but something else broke through the noise: a surge of raw hunger for God. We trace the shock, the manipulation, and the unexpected fruit, and we talk plainly about what it means to fight spiritual battles with spiritual weapons—prayer, intercession, truth, and a church family that refuses to fracture. We dig into how shared trauma forges a global zeitgeist, why media can govern emotions like sorcery, and how to build real discernment that tests spirits, checks doctrine, and measures fruit. Along the way, we pull back the curtain on distraction cycles—pharma disclosures, UAP hearings, UN votes—and we ask a simple question: who has your worship? The conversation also wrestles with Israel through a biblical lens, differentiating the modern state, the bloodline of Abraham, and the spiritual people of God grafted in by Christ. What encourages us most is what we’re seeing on the ground: standing-room-only worship, strangers buying Bibles, and people encountering Jesus outside formal religion. Social change never outruns spiritual transformation; bars close when hearts open. If your love feels thin and your feeds feel loud, come get re-centered: intimacy with God, Scripture in your bones, and a local church on mission together. Listen, share with a friend who needs hope, and help us spread the word—subscribe, leave a review, and tell us where you’re seeing signs of awakening.

    Prayer & Miracles from the Front Lines with Ryan Skoog

    Watch on YouTube What if the most powerful catalysts for spiritual revival aren't sophisticated strategies or cutting-edge methodologies, but something far more fundamental—prayer rooted in friendship with Jesus? Ryan Skoog, founder of Venture.org and author of "Lead with Prayer," takes us on a riveting journey into what he calls the "three uns"—unsafe, unreached, and unresourced areas of the world. Having witnessed unprecedented church growth in the most challenging environments imaginable, Ryan reveals the surprising truth behind the global revival that missiologists call the largest numerical expansion of Christianity in history. Through hundreds of hours interviewing Christian leaders across six continents, Ryan discovered that effective prayer isn't primarily about technique or discipline, but relationship. From a woman who walks with Jesus through war-torn Myanmar jungles to a New York financier who schedules "Waste Time with God" in his calendar, the foundation is the same—friendship with Christ. The contrast with Western prayer habits is stark. Research shows Christian leaders pray less as they gain more education and influence, essentially declaring through their actions, "I'm busier than Jesus." Yet neuroscience confirms what global church leaders demonstrate: relational prayer physically rewires our brains after just eight weeks of consistent practice. Ryan shares breathtaking stories of miracles, deliverance, and transformation happening regularly in places where prayer is not a checkbox but a lifeline. From entire villages converting after witnessing demonic deliverance to crippled children walking after prayer, these aren't anomalies but consistent manifestations of God's power in responsive environments. This conversation will challenge your concept of productivity, reframe your understanding of spiritual disciplines, and invite you into a more vibrant prayer life that starts with simply enjoying God's presence. As Ryan reminds us, we aren't called to approach prayer as experts but as enthusiasts, collecting prayer habits that transform not just moments but entire days in God's presence. Ryan is cofounder and president of VENTURE.ORG, a nonprofit that works in the toughest places of the world, serving war refugees, trafficked people, oppressed children, and the unreached. Ryan is also a serial entrepreneur who co-founded several travel technology companies and co-authored the Bestselling book Lead with Prayer and the devotional Chosen.

    Won by Love | From Satanism to Salvation with Riaan & Adele

    Watch on YouTube What happens when a former Satanist who orchestrated 8,000 witches to curse a woman ends up not only finding Christ but becoming her ministry partner? In this powerful episode of Blood and Oil, we witness one of the most extraordinary testimonies of God's redemptive work as Adele and Riaan share their journey from darkness to light. Adele Vrey, who spent decades in Satanism before encountering Christ during a failed kidnapping attempt of a pastor's son, wrote a book exposing occult practices in South Africa. Years later, Riaan Swiegelaar—then a spokesperson for the South African Satanic Church—was assigned to discredit her. Through a series of divine appointments, Riaan had his own encounter with Jesus and eventually partnered with the very woman he once considered an enemy. But this conversation goes far beyond their dramatic conversion stories. With refreshing clarity, they dismantle common misconceptions about spiritual warfare, explaining why "the devil has no legal claim on a Christian" and why focusing on Christ's finished work is infinitely more powerful than obsessing over demonic tactics. Their profound insight that "churches without power are misrepresenting the blood of Jesus" challenges comfortable Christianity and calls believers back to authentic, transformative faith. Perhaps most moving is their revelation about what ultimately breaks the power of darkness: "I knew how to fight and start a war with anyone," Adele shares, "but I had no defense against love." This truth forms the foundation of their ministry approach: invitation to encounter and relationship. As she put it, "pray in your prayer closet, but invite them for dinner."  Ready to experience spiritual warfare from a biblical perspective that emphasizes love over fear?
