    111 | Candace Owens & Turning Point: Deciphering the Madness

    Send us a text I did not want to make this episode. I hate clickbait culture. I hate capitalizing on current events. And I hate watching tragedy turned into content. But after months of listening, observing, and being asked nonstop about Candace Owens, Turning Point, and the death of Charlie Kirk, I felt compelled to speak from a biblical perspective. This episode is not about picking sides. It is about Christian ethics, discernment, free speech, and fruit. Scripture tells us to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. Yet we live in a moment where outrage is rewarded and patience is mocked. I walk through the controversy, explain why asking questions is not wrong, why free speech matters, and where I believe Candace Owens crosses a line biblically. Not because of conclusions, but because of fruit. The ends do not justify the means. Truth does not fear exposure. And fruit never lies. This is not political commentary. It is a Christian examination rooted in Scripture.

    110 | Why "NO" Is The Best Thing God Could Tell You

    Send us a text There are moments when God’s answer isn’t yes, isn’t later, isn’t maybe... it’s no. And for most of us, that’s the hardest answer to accept. But in Scripture, especially in 1 Samuel 8, we see something shocking: sometimes God’s no is the most protective, loving, and necessary thing He could ever give us. Israel wanted a king so badly that they didn’t care about the cost. They wanted control, predictability, and their own version of security. And God loved them enough to warn them, confront them, and ultimately allow their decision to expose what was broken inside them. This message explores why God’s no is often better than our yes, why He blocks certain desires, and how His denial is actually His direction. If you’ve ever been frustrated, confused, or disappointed by God, this teaching will bring clarity to what He’s doing beneath the surface.

    109 | One Decision That Will Determine Your Next 5 Years

    Send us a text Everyone wants a different life in five years. We pray for breakthrough, we set goals, we read books, we cut toxic people, we grind harder… and yet we remain the exact same person year after year. Why? Because most people overlook the one decision that actually shapes every part of their future. This isn’t about manifesting success or chasing a highlight reel. I’m talking about the one posture that Scripture commands and that quietly builds resilience, joy, stability, and spiritual maturity. It’s not emotional, it’s not circumstantial, and it’s not about pretending life is perfect. It’s the one decision that reveals what you really believe about God. If you want a completely different life in five years, this is where it starts.

    105 | Elon Musk, Netflix, and Why its so Easy to Rage Bait Christians

    Send us a text In this episode of The Future Is Now Podcast, Spencer Nakamura unpacks the chaos surrounding Elon Musk’s “Cancel Netflix” movement—and asks the question few believers are willing to: Are we thinking biblically, or just emotionally? Spencer explores the cycle of outrage culture, the difference between canceling vs. testing, and why followers of Jesus must develop spiritual discernment in an age of manipulation. Later in the show, Spencer reacts to William Matthews’ deconstruction story (former Bethel worship leader) and a viral “Subway Takes” video where a non-believer exposes the Church’s lack of urgency about evangelism. This isn’t about outrage—it’s about maturity, urgency, and truth. Learn how to test the spirits (1 John 4:1), train your discernment (Hebrews 5:13-14), and lead culture instead of following it.
