Three teen guys on a journey to provide their perspective on today’s toughest spiritual battles facing young people. Our goal is to build up our brothers and sisters in Christ as we seek to further God’s Kingdom. The 412 Podcast gets it’s name from the Bible verse Ecclesiastes 4:12, which reads ““And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” We feel that as our relationship with each other grows stronger, our relationship with God the Father will grow exponentially.

    ARE YOU A FAN OF JESUS OR A FOLLOWER OF JESUS?

    🔥 ARE YOU A FAN OF JESUS OR A FOLLOWER OF JESUS? It's easy to say we're Christians. We can go to church, know Bible verses, listen to Christian music, and surround ourselves with other believers. But does that necessarily mean we're truly following Jesus? In this episode of The 412 Christian Podcast, Eli and Keeton dive into the difference between being a fan of Jesus and being a true follower of Him. We discuss what it means to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Christ daily — even when it isn't easy or comfortable. 📖 In this episode, we discuss: The difference between being a fan and a follower of Jesus What Matthew 16:24 teaches us about denying ourselves and taking up our cross Why simply believing in God isn't the same as living out our faith The importance of obedience, discipleship, and following God's Word How our actions and lifestyles can impact the way others view Christianity The temptation to blend in with the world instead of standing firm in our faith What we do when Scripture challenges us or God says no We close with a question we hope challenges you long after the episode ends: If someone watched your life for 30 days but never heard you say you were a Christian, would they know you were following Jesus? Our goal isn't to claim that Christians are perfect, but to encourage all of us to examine our lives and ask whether we're truly striving to follow Christ. 💬 Join the conversation: What do you think is the biggest difference between being a fan of Jesus and being a follower of Jesus?

    Do You Have SIN? | Strength In Numbers

    Do You Have SIN? | Strength In Numbers Why did we create a segment called “SIN” on The 412 Christian Podcast? And no, we’re not encouraging sin. 😂 SIN stands for Strength In Numbers, and in this episode, we talk about the heart behind the segment and why we believe Christians were never meant to walk through life alone. From Ecclesiastes 4:12 to starting college, entering the workforce, finding the right people, and dealing with struggles in our faith, we talk about the importance of having people in your corner—and just as importantly, being someone else's strength. You may feel like you're the only one struggling, but you're not alone. Find your people. Build each other up. Encourage one another. And most importantly, keep pointing each other back to Christ. “Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him, and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” — Ecclesiastes 4:12 Thanks for listening to The 412 Christian Podcast! If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who might need the reminder that they don't have to fight alone.

    Have We Been Getting the Holy Spirit Wrong?

    Have we been getting the Holy Spirit wrong? For many Christians, the Holy Spirit can be one of the most difficult parts of our faith to understand. Is the Spirit simply working through the Word? Is He a feeling we experience? How do we know when the Spirit is working in our lives? And what does it actually mean to be led by the Spirit? In this episode of The 412 Christian Podcast, Eli, Keeton, and Garyson sit down with Wes McAdams, preacher, author of Empowered by the Spirit, and host of the Radically Christian podcast, for a deep and honest conversation about who the Holy Spirit is and how He works in the lives of Christians today. Together, they discuss: • Why we should think of the Holy Spirit as a person—not an impersonal force• Whether the Spirit works through the Word alone• How the Holy Spirit works through the church, community, worship, and Scripture• The difference between unity and uniformity• Why spiritual transformation isn't simply about "trying harder"• What the biblical signs and miracles point toward• How we can misuse the idea of being "led by the Spirit"• Why the Holy Spirit isn't simply synonymous with a feeling or emotion• How the Spirit empowers us to use our gifts to serve others• What it means for Christians to be the temple of God's Spirit• How hope in our future inheritance empowers us to live with humility, meekness, and love Ultimately, the Holy Spirit isn't given to us so that we can pursue our own purposes. He works in us so that we can become more like King Jesus and help others become more like Him.

    What Is Your Oasis

    Life can often feel like wandering through a dry wilderness. We search for fulfillment in success, relationships, money, entertainment, or achievements—only to find ourselves still thirsty. In this episode of The 412 Christian Podcast, Eli and Keeton are joined by youth minister Brooks Jackson to discuss the powerful theme of Oasis and what it teaches us about following Christ. Together, they explore: • Why Jesus' temptation in the wilderness matters• The spiritual significance of an oasis throughout Scripture• How the Israelites, the Samaritan woman, and Jesus all point us toward the same truth• Why worldly fulfillment always comes up empty• How Scripture, prayer, and the Holy Spirit keep us spiritually refreshed• What it means to find true rest in Christ instead of the world If you've ever felt spiritually exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you're searching for something more, this conversation is a reminder that Jesus is the only source of living water that truly satisfies. "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink." — John 7:37 What is your oasis?
