Project 16:15 is a faith-based podcast rooted in the mission pf Mark 16:15 - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." It's a raw, real, and intentional space where two hosts step into conversations that matter. Through interviews, testimonies, and honest dialogue, the show reaches people right where they are - whether they believe, doubt, or are just searching. Each episode blends: *Guest conversations (believers, non believers, and everyone in between) *Personal testimonies and life experiences *Street interviews and reactions *Gospel-centered discussions that aren't forced-but naturally woven into real conversations The heart behind Project 16:15 isn't just to talk about faith-it's to live it out in real time, inviting others into authentic encounters with truth, purpose, and ultimately, Jesus. It's not polished religion. It's not surface-level conversation. It's the Great Commission in motion-captured on camera.

    Episode #9 | God Is In The Waiting

    What do you do when it feels like God has forgotten you? Whether you’re waiting for a spouse, a child, healing, a promotion, direction, or an answered prayer, every believer eventually walks through a season where God’s timing doesn’t match their own. In this episode of Project 16:15, we have an honest conversation about what it means to trust God when the answer hasn’t come yet. We share personal stories, wrestle with difficult questions, and look at the lives of Abraham, Sarah, Joseph, David, Job, Paul, and even Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus to discover that waiting is never wasted when it’s placed in God’s hands. We also discuss: • Why “it’s God’s timing” isn’t always the most helpful thing to hear • How to encourage someone who is hurting • Whether God’s delay means “no” • How to celebrate others while you’re still waiting • The danger of comparison, doubt, and taking matters into our own hands • Why the strongest faith is often found before the miracle arrives If you’re in a season of waiting, our prayer is that this conversation reminds you that God hasn’t abandoned you. He is still working—even when you can’t see it. “The strongest faith isn’t worshipping God after the miracle. It’s worshipping Him while the prayer is still unanswered.” 📖 Key Scriptures: James 1:3–4 John 11 Romans 8:1 2 Corinthians 12:9 Galatians 4:4 Matthew 11:28–30 Job 2 & 38 If this episode encouraged you, consider liking the video, subscribing, and sharing it with someone who may be walking through a waiting season. 📱 Follow Project 16:15 Instagram: @project1615podcast TikTok: @project1615 “And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.’” — Mark 16:15

    Episode #7 | Stand Up & Be Men

    Project 16:15 Podcast Ep. 7 | Stand Up & Be Men | Biblical Manhood in a Confused World What does it actually mean to be a man? In a culture that either labels masculinity as toxic or redefines it altogether, the conversation around manhood has never been more important. During Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, the Project 16:15 team sits down to discuss what Scripture says about biblical manhood and why God’s design for men is still relevant today. Using 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 as the foundation—“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.”—we explore what it means to be a servant leader, protector, provider, husband, father, friend, and follower of Christ. In this episode, we discuss: • What biblical masculinity is—and what it isn’t • The difference between strength and aggression • Why emotional maturity matters for men • Toxic masculinity vs. counterfeit masculinity • The attack on young men in modern culture • Leadership in marriage and the home • Raising boys into godly men • Responsibility, discipline, and sacrifice • Why men need accountability and brotherhood • Standing firm in faith when culture pushes back • How Jesus perfectly models biblical manhood • The balance between the Lion and the Lamb We also tackle difficult topics facing men today, including pornography, passivity, isolation, addiction, fatherlessness, spiritual apathy, and the challenges of leading a family in a world that often rejects God’s design. Whether you’re a husband, father, son, mentor, coach, or simply a man trying to follow Christ faithfully, this conversation is for you. The world tells men to either dominate or disappear. Jesus calls men to something greater. He calls us to stand watchfully, lead sacrificially, love deeply, and live courageously. The greatest example of manhood isn’t found in a celebrity, influencer, athlete, or self-help guru. It’s found in Jesus Christ. 📖 Key Scriptures: • 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 • 1 Peter 5:8 • Romans 12:2 • Ephesians 5:23 • Ephesians 6:4 • 2 Timothy 1:7 • 1 Corinthians 13:11-12 • Genesis 2:8 If this episode encouraged you, challenged you, or helped you in any way, consider sharing it with a friend, brother, husband, father, or son. 🎙️ Join the conversation. 📩 Need prayer or someone to talk to?

    Episode #6 | Heroes Of The Bible

    PROJECT 16:15 PODCAST | EPISODE 6 Heroes of the Bible: Gideon, Elijah & Samson | Broken People, Big Faith & the Gospel What makes someone a “hero” in the Bible? In Episode 6 of the Project 16:15 Podcast, Brad, Cole, and Cam sit down to unpack three powerful — yet deeply flawed — figures of the Old Testament: Gideon, Elijah, and Samson. Too often, biblical heroes are presented as larger-than-life figures who had unwavering faith and perfect character. But Scripture tells a different story. Gideon struggled with fear and insecurity while hiding in a winepress. Elijah called fire down from heaven yet found himself exhausted, isolated, and asking God to take his life. Samson possessed incredible strength but repeatedly fell into pride, compromise, and temptation. This episode explores a powerful truth: God uses imperfect people to accomplish His perfect will. Together, we break down: ⚔️ Gideon — fear, calling, obedience, spiritual warfare, idolatry, the Midianites, the “Angel of the Lord,” and how Gideon points us toward Christ. 🔥 Elijah — Mount Carmel, confronting false prophets, spiritual burnout, the broom tree moment, hearing God in the whisper, and what faith looks like after the mountaintop. 🦁 Samson — strength without discipline, compromise, Delilah, redemption, Nazarite vows, and the surprising ways Samson foreshadows Jesus. Throughout the conversation we wrestle with questions like: • What actually makes someone a hero of the Bible? • Can God still use broken, fearful, prideful, or exhausted people? • Why does Scripture refuse to hide the failures of its heroes? • What do Gideon, Elijah, and Samson reveal about Jesus? • How do these stories apply to our own struggles with fear, temptation, burnout, insecurity, pride, and faith? Most importantly, this episode points to the reality that every biblical hero ultimately falls short — except One. Gideon couldn’t save perfectly. Elijah couldn’t sustain himself. Samson couldn’t overcome his flesh. But Jesus could. Because while Gideon, Elijah, and Samson were shadows, Christ is the fulfillment. Whether you feel like: • Gideon hiding in fear • Elijah exhausted under the broom tree • Samson trapped in compromise and consequences There is hope — because God still meets ordinary, broken people exactly where they are. “The same God that called Gideon out of hiding still calls us today.” ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Opening prayer & episode intro 01:33 – What makes a biblical hero? 06:12 – Gideon: fear, calling & the winepress 09:26 – The Angel of the Lord & Christophany discussion 12:07 – Gideon, idolatry & spiritual warfare 38:59 – Elijah: Mount Carmel & false prophets of Baal 44:34 – Elijah’s broom tree moment & burnout 48:56 – God speaks in whispers, not just fire 52:53 – Samson: strength, Delilah & downfall 53:36 – Samson as a shadow pointing to Christ 74:13 – Heroes of the Bible & the Gospel connection 93:44 – Final reflections & prayer 📖 Key Scriptures Discussed Judges 6–8 (Gideon) 1 Kings 18–19 (Elijah) Judges 13–16 (Samson) Isaiah 9:4–6 2 Timothy 1:7 Hebrews 11 🎙️ About Project 16:15 Project 16:15 exists to proclaim the Gospel, wrestle with Scripture, engage culture through a biblical lens, and point people toward Jesus Christ. “If God can use Gideon, Elijah, and Samson — He can use you.” 👇 Drop a comment below: Who is your favorite hero of the Bible — and why? #Project1615 #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #HeroesOfTheBible #JesusChrist #Gideon #Elijah #Samson #Faith #BiblePodcast #Christianity #ChristianYouTube #BiblicalTruth #ChristianMen #OldTestament #Gospel

    In this episode of Project 16:15, we dive deep into the powerful documentary Sheep Among Wolves and unpack what it reveals about the underground church in Iran. This is not a light conversation. We talk about: Real persecution happening right nowWhat true faith looks like under pressureThe contrast between Western Christianity and the underground churchWomen leading the movement in one of the most dangerous places to follow JesusWhat it actually means to “count the cost” of following ChristThis episode challenged us—and it will challenge you too. Are we taking our freedom for granted? What does our faith actually cost us? And are we living like the early church… or just going through the motions? We also break down Scripture, church history, and hard truths about faith, persecution, and discipleship.
