Welcome to The Lordship of Christ podcast. I am your host, Joe. And here we take the unchanging Word of God and apply it to the shifting realities of our world. The truth of God’s Word brings Hope, direction, and strength to everyday life. And when Christ Jesus is Lord overall, no part of your life is left unchanged. Life is a battleground for the soul, and only under the Lordship of Christ will we stand.

The Case Files - When Sin Wears A Cross : The Story of Caleb and Ashley Flynn - When Attraction Becomes Temptation

Every case tells a story. But beneath the evidence, behind the headlines, and beyond the reputations people build, lies a deeper question: what does the truth reveal about the human heart? Welcome to The Case Files — where we examine real cases of crime, deception, scandal, and human corruption through the lens of Scripture. Guided by the authority of God’s Word, we will confront the reality of sin, the danger of self-deception, the necessity of justice, and the sobering truth that outward appearances can never substitute for genuine righteousness. We are not here merely to expose the darkness in others, but to understand the depths of human depravity, the holiness of God, and our desperate need for His grace. Because every case deserves an honest examination, every accusation demands careful discernment, and every conclusion must bow to the truth. These are The Case Files. Let us examine the evidence — and let Scripture have the final word. When Sin Wears a Cross The story of THE STORY OF CALEB AND ASHLEY FLYNN Some of the most dangerous deceptions are not those that reject the name of God, but those that invoke His name while pursuing what He has forbidden. Welcome to When Sin Wears a Cross, a biblical examination of the human heart, the deceitfulness of sin, and the ways we can convince ourselves that our desires are God’s will. Through the lens of Scripture, we will examine a tragic true story and confront an uncomfortable question: What happens when we stop asking God to change our desires and start asking Him to approve them? Because sin does not become righteous simply because we pray over it, and deception does not become truth simply because we call it God’s will. This is When Sin Wears a Cross And this is The story of THE STORY OF CALEB AND ASHLEY FLYNN

Hollywood Christian - Kid Rock : Halfway 2 Jesus

There is something strange about Christian Hollywood. We have Christian singers on the radio. Christian actors on the screen. Christian bands selling out arenas. Christian artists standing on award stages, holding trophies, thanking God. We have Christian record labels, Christian radio stations, Christian concerts, Christian merchandise, Christian celebrities, Christian influencers, and an entire industry built around Christian entertainment. And yet, sometimes I find myself asking a very simple question: Where is Jesus? Not just His name. Not just the word “God.” Because your god could anything. Not just a lyric about being blessed, having a breakthrough, or making it through another difficult day. I mean Jesus. His holiness. His lordship. His cross. His resurrection. His call to repentance. His command to follow Him. His warning about denying ourselves and taking up our cross. Where is the Christ of Scripture in Christian entertainment? Welcome to Hollywood Christian.
