    What Does Jesus Say About Pride Month? It's Probably Not What You Think

    Every June, Christians seem to fall into one of two camps. Some charge into the culture war with anger and condemnation. Others stay silent and avoid the conversation altogether. But what did Jesus actually do? In this video, we examine Scripture—not social media—and look directly at how Jesus engaged people who were living in sin. From the woman at the well, to the woman caught in adultery, to Zacchaeus, a clear pattern emerges: Jesus moved toward people.Jesus treated them with dignity.Jesus spoke truth.Jesus offered hope.We'll examine Romans 1, 1 Corinthians 6, Genesis, Luke 15, John 4, John 8, Luke 19, and other key passages to answer one question: What should a Christ-centered response to Pride Month actually look like? Whether you're a Christian, skeptical of Christianity, or someone who has been hurt by the church, this conversation is for you.

    Would You Die for Your Faith? (Most Christians Won’t Answer This Honestly)

    Would you die for your faith? It’s a question most Christians avoid—but one Jesus never softened. In this episode of Truth Behind the Mike, Mike Stone challenges believers to confront the real cost of following Jesus. We live in a culture where faith is often comfortable—but what happens when it isn’t? What happens when following Christ costs you your reputation… your relationships… your career… or even your life? Using both Scripture and real-world examples, this episode explores: * The difference between cultural Christianity and true discipleship * Where modern believers tend to “draw the line” * Why Jesus called us to take up our cross—not just believe * How recent events are forcing people to rethink what faith really means This isn’t about fear. It’s not about politics. It’s about one question: Is your faith real… if it only exists when it’s safe? ⸻ If this challenged you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Subscribe to Truth Behind the Mike for more bold, biblical conversations that encourage, challenge, and point you to Jesus. #Faith #Christianity #Jesus #Discipleship #Truth #Bible #ChristianYouTube #FaithInAction #followjesus TIME-STAMPED CHAPTER LIST: 00:00 — Would You Die for Your Faith?

    When Did We Stop Fearing God? | The Forgotten Truth in Modern Christianity

    Why does the Bible say “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”—yet the fear of God is rarely talked about in modern Christianity? In this episode of the Behind the Mike Podcast, Mike Stone explores the biblical meaning of the fear of the Lord, why this foundational truth has faded from many churches, and what happens to faith and culture when reverence for God disappears. Through scripture, historical examples, and practical insight, this message examines the tension between God’s holiness and God’s love and why rediscovering the fear of the Lord may be essential for spiritual renewal. Topics explored in this video: • What the fear of the Lord actually means • Why modern culture resists the idea of fearing God • How losing the fear of God affects the church • Biblical examples of encountering the holiness of God • Why reverence for God leads to wisdom and transformation If you’re seeking a deeper understanding of scripture and a stronger foundation for your faith, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
