    UnRedacted: Why Knowing the Bible Isn't Enough Without the Spirit's Power

    What if the Christianity you were handed left something out? Not because someone removed pages from your Bible, but because there may be things sitting right there in Scripture that you were taught not to expect, pursue, or experience. In this episode of the SMC Podcast, Amanda joins Henry in the SMC bunker for a deeply personal conversation about Henry’s journey from seminary-trained pastor and committed cessationist to confronting a question that changed the trajectory of his life: Am I allowing Scripture to determine my theology, or am I allowing my theology to determine what Scripture is permitted to say? Henry shares openly about a season of bondage when biblical knowledge, discipline, willpower, and trying harder weren’t producing freedom. That struggle forced him to go back to Scripture and reconsider what he believed about the Holy Spirit, and eventually opened the door to a much bigger conversation about: • Identity in Christ • The authority of the believer • Spiritual warfare • Deliverance and freedom • Hearing God • The baptism of the Holy Spirit • Spiritual gifts • Biblical discernment • What it means for a man to spiritually lead and protect his family This isn’t about becoming charismatic, changing denominations, or blindly accepting someone else’s theology. It’s about having the courage to open your Bible and ask: Holy Spirit, is there more? Is there more freedom than I’ve experienced? Is there authority I’ve never understood? Is there a spiritual battle I’ve been trying to fight entirely in the natural? Have I explained away things in Scripture because they didn’t fit what I was taught? For men who want to become the Priests, Protectors, and Providers God has called them to be, these aren't merely theological questions. They affect how we lead our families, confront bondage, recognize the enemy, pray, fight spiritual battles, and walk in freedom. Henry's new book, UnRedacted: Awakening to the Life God Actually Intended, grew out of this journey.

Open your Bible. Look at the Scriptures. Test everything. And ask God: “Is there more?” ▶️ Subscribe to the SMC Podcast for conversations on biblical masculinity, spiritual warfare, freedom, identity, leadership, and becoming the man God created you to be. 🎯 Get information on upcoming training events 🔥 Join The Forge, our free online community --- Resources: SMC: https://smctribe.com Men's Online Community (The Forge): https://smc-tribe.mn.co/plans/1900584 --- Henry and Amanda Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@HenryAmandaPodcast --- Henry and Amanda: https://www.henryandamanda.com/ Justice Reigns: https://justicereigns.org --- Henry on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@henryhastingssmc Henry on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/henry_hastings/ Henry on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HenrywHastings Henry & Amanda Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/henryamandapodcast/ Justice Reigns on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justicereignsor...

    Winning the War Within: How to Take Every Thought Captive

    Where is the battleground for spiritual warfare? It isn't in a far-off land, it's right between your ears.

In this episode of the SMC Podcast, we dive deep into the battlefield of the mind, spiritual strongholds, and the vital role of biblical identity in breaking destructive cycles. Learn how to identify lies, take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and renew your mind through Scripture so you can step boldly into who God created you to be.

    Breaking the Stronghold: Finding True Freedom From Porn

    Are you or someone you know trapped in a cycle of temptation and spiritual bondage? In this episode of the SMC Podcast, we tackle one of the most devastating weapons used against Christian men today: pornography. It isn't just a bad habit, weakness, or moral failure—it is a spiritual weapon designed to destroy Godly men and their ability to advance the kingdom of God on earth. Jesus didn't come just to forgive sinners; He came to set captives free! Drawing from Scripture, we expose the enemy's playbook, dissect the "Balaam Strategy" of seduction, explore the deeper roots behind addiction, and outline God's biblical blueprint for walking in complete liberty. "Freedom isn't merely removing pornography from your life. Freedom is allowing Jesus access to the places where the bondage began."

    You're Not Powerless: The Believer's Authority Explained

    Most Christians live far beneath the authority Christ has given them — begging God for power He's already delegated, and asking for orders He's already issued. In this episode of the SMC podcast, we break down what biblical authority actually is, where it comes from, and how to walk in it without sliding into pride or control. Drawing on Matthew 28:18, Colossians 2, Ephesians 1-2, Luke 10:19, and Philippians 2, we unpack why authority flows from position and not performance, what it means that Christ "triumphed" over principalities and powers at the cross, and why the most dangerous men in the Kingdom aren't the loudest — they're the most humble. You'll walk away knowing exactly what you have authority over, and why submission to God is what makes that authority effective. If you've ever felt powerless against temptation, a spiritual attack, or the enemy's lies, this episode is for you. You are not powerless. You are not abandoned. And you are not fighting alone. Chapters: 00:00 Intro 04:52 Point 1: All Authority Belongs to Jesus 08:32 Point 2: Christ Defeated Satan and His Task Organization 13:56 Point 3: We Represent God's Government on Earth 21:15 Point 4: Authority Must Be Exercised With Humility 29:46 Closing: Know Who You Are 🎯 Get information on upcoming training events 🔥 Join The Forge, our free online community --- Resources: SMC: https://smctribe.com Men's Online Community (The Forge): https://smc-tribe.mn.co/plans/1900584 --- Henry and Amanda Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@HenryAmandaPodcast --- Henry and Amanda: https://www.henryandamanda.com/ Justice Reigns: https://justicereigns.org --- Henry on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@henryhastingssmc Henry on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/henry_hastings/ Henry on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HenrywHastings Henry & Amanda Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/henryamandapodcast/ Justice Reigns on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justicereignsor...

    The Baptism of the Holy Spirit: The Power You Need to Advance the Kingdom

    The Baptism of the Holy Spirit: The Power You Need to Advance the Kingdom   Believing in Jesus isn't the same as receiving power from on high to advance His Kingdom. In this episode, we trace the baptism of the Holy Spirit through the book of Acts — from John the Baptist's prophecy, to Pentecost, to Samaria, Cornelius's household, and the disciples at Ephesus — to show why this baptism is a distinct, subsequent gift from salvation, and why you need it for spiritual warfare, healing, and kingdom advancement today.   We'll look at why many believers (including ministers who "teach accurately") have never received this baptism, what the biblical evidence looks like when someone does receive it, and how to contend for it in your own life. Chapters: 0:00 Intro — Spiritual warfare recap & why this episode 1:39 Jesus's 40 days teaching on the Kingdom (Acts 1) 3:56 Prophesied & fulfilled: John's prophecy to Pentecost (Matthew 3, Acts 2, Mark 16) 7:48 Philip in Samaria & Simon the sorcerer (Acts 8) 13:17 Cornelius's household receives the Spirit (Acts 10) 14:59 Ephesus: Apollos & the twelve disciples (Acts 18–19) 22:34 Paul in Rome & how to receive this power (Acts 28) 25:14 Closing encouragement   If this teaching helped you understand the baptism of the Holy Spirit, share it with someone who needs to hear it, and subscribe for more episodes on spiritual warfare and advancing the Kingdom of God. 🎯 Get information on upcoming training events 🔥 Join The Forge, our free online community --- Resources: SMC: https://smctribe.com Men's Online Community (The Forge): https://smc-tribe.mn.co/plans/1900584 --- Henry and Amanda Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@HenryAmandaPodcast --- Henry and Amanda: https://www.henryandamanda.com/ Justice Reigns: https://justicereigns.org --- Henry on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@henryhastingssmc Henry on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/henry_hastings/ Henry on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HenrywHastings Henry & Amanda Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/henryamandapodcast/ Justice Reigns on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justicereignsor...
