Don’t You Want Somebody To Love

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Remember Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane singing, “Don’t You Want Somebody to Love?” Well, absolutely! There’s nothing wrong with wanting somebody to love, somebody to share life’s adventures with, and somebody to sit beside you through the good days and the difficult ones. But when it comes to Christian dating, maybe there’s a better question: Don’t you want somebody to love who loves the Lord, too? In this episode, we’re talking about dating as a single adult, the difference between chemistry and Christian compatibility, premarital sex, and the dangers of becoming unequally yoked. Are you dating the person in front of you, or the person you hope they’ll eventually become? Are you looking for a godly companion, or compromising your convictions because you don’t want to be alone? Because finding somebody is one thing. Finding somebody who shares your faith, respects your convictions, and wants to walk in the same direction spiritually is something else entirely. You can want companionship without compromising your Christianity. You can desire marriage without making it an idol. And you don’t have to settle for a relationship that pulls you away from the very God you’re trying to serve. Maybe you don’t just want somebody to love. Maybe you want somebody to love Jesus right alongside you. Let’s talk about dating with purpose, recognizing the fruit, and remembering that loneliness is never a good reason to abandon your convictions.

Halloween: Holy, Hype, or Demonic

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Every October brings the debate: Should Christians celebrate Halloween, or is there dark history hidden beneath costumes and candy? From ancient traditions and satanic associations to church Fall Festivals and claims that it’s “just harmless fun,” this episode examines the debate through the lens of Scripture. Is changing the name enough to change the nature of an event? Are Christians practicing biblical discernment or simply following tradition? Join Unfiltered with Jessie B. as we separate fact from assumption, explore what the NKJV Bible teaches, and consider how believers should respond with convictions grounded in God’s Word. 🎃 No scare tactics. No sugarcoating. Just Scripture, discernment, and an honest conversation. And here’s the challenge: Before you defend your position, make sure you can support it with God’s Word—not just tradition, emotion, or what someone posted on Facebook. Let’s stop arguing to win and start studying to grow. Because the goal isn’t to be the loudest Christian in the room. It’s to be a believer whose choices glorify God.

Love Is Truth

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Is loving someone the same as agreeing with everything they believe? And when did tolerance start requiring Christians to rewrite Scripture? On this hard-hitting episode of Unfiltered with Jessie B, we're tackling the controversial conversation surrounding LGBTQ acceptance, biblical truth, and the difference between loving people and affirming everything they believe or do. From an Instagram reel that sparked a heated debate to accusations involving race, personal experience, and hypocrisy, Jessie B challenges double standards, and exposes the danger of selective Scripture, and asks the question many are afraid to confront: Are we allowing God's Word to shape our beliefs, or are we reshaping God's Word to fit our beliefs? With NKJV Scripture, unapologetic honesty, a little humor, and a challenge to Christians and culture alike, this episode explores holiness, grace, repentance, and what it truly means to be a new creation in Christ. Because love doesn't require compromise, truth doesn't justify cruelty, and none of us gets a free pass on accountability.

Infallible God Fallible People

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Today, we’re confronting an uncomfortable truth: too many people have judged an infallible God by the failures of fallible people. We all know someone who has been hurt, disappointed, rejected, or mistreated by someone who claimed to represent Christ. And instead of separating the behavior of imperfect people from the character of a perfect God, they’ve allowed that experience to shape their view of Christianity—or convince them they want nothing to do with God at all. But let’s be honest: people can misrepresent God without changing who God is. Hypocrisy doesn’t disprove holiness. Religious abuse doesn’t invalidate truth. And someone’s failure to live by the Word of God doesn’t make the Word of God any less true. We’re going to examine the difference between God’s character and human behavior, why putting our faith in people instead of God will inevitably disappoint us, and why we must be careful not to let someone else’s sin become our excuse to reject our Creator. Yes, Christians can hurt people. Yes, churches can fail people. And yes, those failures deserve to be acknowledged—not excused or swept under the rug. But when did another person’s failure become the standard by which we judge God? You may have a legitimate reason to be hurt by people, but that doesn’t make your conclusions about God legitimate.

The King James Bible & Modern Translations

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Holy Book or Sacred Cow? Well, that depends on you. In this episode, we’re going to challenge some traditions, examine a few myths surrounding the King James Version of the Bible, and take a closer look at some of today’s most popular modern translations. And let me warn you right now: we might kill a few sacred cows along the way. And if you’ve ever watched a sacred cow die, you know it can get messy! Some of you will agree with me. Some of you will disagree. And that’s okay. I’m not here to tell you what you have to think, and I’m certainly not here to attack anyone for the Bible translation they choose to read. But I am here to ask some uncomfortable questions. Are we defending the Word of God, or are we defending a tradition we’ve been taught never to question?

Difficult People = Difficult Narratives

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! Today the talk is on difficult people. Not annoying people. Not the grouchy people who seem to make giving someone else a bad day their life’s ministry. We’re going to talk about how to respond Biblically to those who accuse you, gossip about you, lie about you, and manipulate the narrative to make themselves the victim therefore avoiding responsibility. At the end of the day, its not that person or the gossip committee we have to answer to. God doesn’t need anyone’s version of a story. God sees and judges rightly which can be a warning, or can be a comfort.

When Faith Becomes Problematic

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! We all know about persecution of Christians, we’ve heard the news reports and the occasional testimonies of those who have survived persecution. There’s also another avenue that doesn’t get talked about as much and that is what happens when your Christian faith costs you something that may be painful. What happens when some family deems you “too religious” to have anything to do with you? What happens when the friends you thought you would have forever, distance themselves or just walk away completely because you’re “not fun anymore”? What if your convictions cost you financially? Is Jesus still worth it?

Christian In Label or Life?

Text Me! I’d love to hear from you! If someone where to ask you why you chose Christianity and not one the thousands of other religions and beliefs systems in the world, what would you tell them? Would you be able to explain the Gospel, repentance, salvation… and do so without the typical “Sunday School Answers”? 1 Peter 3:15 says But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
