    Stop Chasing a Prophetic Word and Start Obeying God

    How do we know when God is speaking, and what should we do with a prophetic word? We explore the difference between words of knowledge and prophecy, how to test what we hear against Scripture, and why humility matters when praying for others. Along the way, we talk about anxiety and identity, the reliability of the Bible, church hurt, and healthy leadership. This conversation is an invitation to grow in discernment, obey what God has already said, and trust Him in the ordinary moments of life. In this episode: • Why we can trust Scripture and how ancient manuscripts and Bible translations shape the conversation • An honest discussion about anxiety, emotional reactivity, therapy, and the labels we carry • Church hurt, healthy leadership, and why asking questions and pursuing accountability matter • The purpose of spiritual gifts and the difference between words of knowledge and prophecy • How to pray for others with compassion, simplicity, consent, and room for the Holy Spirit • How to test spiritual impressions, share prophetic words with humility, and avoid forcing major life decisions • Why everyday obedience matters, along with five practical keys for growing in prophetic ministry SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

    Prayer Training Starts Here: The Theology, the Spirit, and Why Everyone Gets to Play

    Before you can pray for people with power, you need a foundation. Not a formula, a foundation. Pastor Jon has taught this prayer training all over the world, and in this episode he walks us through it from the very beginning, starting with the question most people never ask: what do you actually believe about whether the ministry of Jesus is still for today? In this episode: The biblical case from Genesis to Acts for why the Spirit didn’t stop moving when the apostles died and why that changes everything about how you show up to pray for someoneHow Jesus did ministry, why “He was God” is not the full answer, and what obedience, identity, and the filling of the Spirit have to do with how we do ministry now What kairos time means in Mark 1 and why Jesus announcing the Kingdom of God carried so much significanceThe three things that marked Jesus’ life: obedience, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit remaining, along with what it takes to cultivate a life in step with HimDeliverance in India, holy laughter at a Saturday night conference right before COVID, a 15-year-old whose story started changing in a ministry moment, and a backpack that God had been setting up for years SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

    The First Classroom in Hell Is a Bible Study Without Context | Live at The Send

    Satan quoted Psalm 91 to the Son of God. His citations were accurate. His chapter and verse were right, yet he omitted the very next line, the one that promised his own demise. The first classroom in hell is a Bible study without context. This episode is a live teaching from The Send where Pastor Darren and Angela unpack Matthew 4, counter-formation, and what it looks like to be formed by Jesus in a world that is actively forming you into something else.

    Sexual Integrity, Purity in Dating, and What the Bible Actually Says

    Masculinity makes it safe for femininity to flourish. And men have to lead the way in purity before they ever lead in a relationship. This episode covers the complementarian design of masculine and feminine working together, sexual integrity in dating, Proverbs 5 and 7, Ephesians 4, and what it actually looks like for a man to set the tone in communication, in conflict, and in purity. In this episode: Angela's story: Albanian culture, a powerful mother, and how Jesus made her more feminine than anything elseWhy masculinity and femininity need each other; and what goes wrong when one is absentMen leading through self-sacrifice, communication, conflict, and emotional toneProverbs 5 and 7 on sexual integrity; the eyes, the heart, and the trapNot even a hint; Ephesians 4 and the standard that applies to everyonePornography is as addictive as cocaine; don't quit, and here is what helpsFinding a higher joy in Jesus Christ is the only thing that actually replaces lust SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

    The Father Wound, Passive Men & the Biblical Standard Nobody Is Talking About

    What does it actually mean to be a man of God — and why is it so hard to find in the church, in dating, and in everyday life? This episode covers the full biblical picture of masculinity: from the wounds that produce passive men, to David's six-attribute blueprint, to the complementarian beauty of the masculine and feminine working together. In this episode: • What intentional pursuit actually looks like — and why mixed signals leave women stuck and confused • The Simba Complex: running from your calling, living in hakuna matata, and what it takes to step into your true identity • Toxic therapy culture vs. radical accountability — the difference between a vocabulary for your wounds and actually healing from them • Why passivity in men almost always traces back to a boy who was never initiated into manhood • Responsibility as masculinity — what Genesis 2 reveals about the garden and why nothing flourished until man showed up to tend it • Knowing God as the fuel of manhood — Moses, the burning bush, and "show me your glory" • Beauty and the Beast as the most accurate picture of the masculine and feminine working together that culture never meant to give us SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

    Stop Waiting for Permission to Be Strong — Derek Mack on Biblical Masculinity

    The version of Jesus most people carry in their minds — gentle, passive, blonde-haired, blue-eyed — is not the Jesus of Scripture. The real Jesus turned over tables, carried heavy stone, wept publicly, welcomed the outcast, and went to the cross without flinching. This episode is a conversation with Derek Mack about what genuine biblical masculinity actually looks like when Jesus is the model instead of culture. In this episode: • Why our domesticated version of Jesus has produced a domesticated version of men • The Greek word androzomai — play the man — and why Polycarp heard it from heaven before he burned • Andrew Tate and why half-truths are more dangerous than outright lies • The Peter Pan generation — living in Neverland, escaping into video games, avoiding the call to grow up • Why the fatherless crisis is at the center of everything happening with men right now • 1 Corinthians 16:13 and the call to be on guard, stand firm, be courageous, be strong, and do everything in love • Stop waiting for permission to be strong SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.
