    Episode 466: Overcoming Adversity Pt. 1

    A coach doesn't tell you to think happy thoughts in the middle of a game, he tells you to put your game face on. Todd and Katie build their approach to adversity on that picture: a believer is in a real contest against a real opponent, and people lose it for two reasons. They misidentify the adversary, and they treat their response as something that happens when they feel spiritual instead of something they do every day. Ephesians says we wrestle not against flesh and blood, which means there is a fight, and the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy things bigger than you, like your marriage, your ministry and your family. Being attacked doesn't mean you did something wrong. Todd's answer to "why me" is that you breathed. Fear is the enemy's first tool because a mind game is cheaper than a brawl. Todd uses his Gators beating the number four team and then getting exposed by Missouri a week later to show that a beaten opponent comes back with something new, so you have to be ready before the attack starts. Fear has to be fed by past experience or by what you've been told, and 1 John 4:4 says the one in you is greater. Katie lays out a team framework: defense is the authority you stand on (submit to God, resist the devil, and he flees), and offense is declaration, because we believe our own voice most. Neither half works alone, and neither works without consistency. Todd saw gifted students at his Bible school in Tampa fail in the first year because the daily discipline wasn't there. The second half gets practical. Spirit, soul and body all have to be strong: praying in the Spirit and being filled with the Holy Ghost, caring for a body you may have worn down yourself (the devil didn't stuff the cheesecake in your mouth), and guarding a mind weakened by alcohol, gummies, weed, screens and isolation. Proverbs 24:10 says that if you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small. Todd closes with his own case. He has never had a left hip socket, and he refused special allowances in sports and asked what he had to do to compensate. The rules don't change, he says, and what changes is inside your mind. Katie's daily list is to take authority over your thoughts, submit to God, resist the enemy, look after your body, guard your mind, and do it again tomorrow.

    Episode 465: How to Effectively Walk By Faith Pt. 2

    Faith is not something you accumulate. It's something you do, every day, in the direction of what the Word says regardless of what your circumstances look like. A lot of believers have quietly confused possession with action, and James 2:18 cuts right to it: the proof of faith isn't the declaration, it's the production. We talk about why hearing the Word isn't enough on its own, why the same teaching room produced completely different results for people who sat next to each other at Kenneth Hagin's school, and what actually has to happen for the Word to move from your head into your heart. Speaking without corresponding action is where most faith conversations break down. You can declare increase over your finances until next year, but if you're not sowing, the declaration alone won't produce a result. The Word says sow and reap, which means faith speaks and faith moves. We also get into why resistance is not the enemy of faith but the requirement for it. The same way a muscle only grows under load, faith only develops when you've been working it in the small things. People who never activated their faith in everyday situations often find they have no muscle when something serious arrives. Discouragement is a faith killer because it cuts off vision, and without vision there's nothing pulling you forward. Proverbs 4:20-22 lays out the practice plainly: attend to His words, keep them in front of your eyes, in the midst of your heart, and they become medicine to all your flesh. The footsteps of the righteous are ordered. The assignment is to keep walking. Published on Subwave https://subwave.app/@thelastdayspodcast/post/episode-465--how-to-effectively-walk-by-faith-pt-2

    Episode 464: How to Effectively Walk by Faith Pt. 1

    The enemy of faith is not doubt or fear. It's sight. The moment you require proof before committing, you've already negated faith. We've been working through what it means to walk in faith not as a concept to believe in but as a lifestyle built around it every single day. That includes confronting one of the clearest patterns in decades of leadership: the three-year cycle, where people put in real effort and then, right around that mark, find reasons to step away. The breakthrough almost always lives on the other side of that wall. The ones who leave reset the clock and later wonder why the same challenges keep showing up. Philemon 1:6 puts a sharp edge on all of it. The word translated "communication" in the Greek is koinonia, which means distribution. Faith is not something you keep to yourself. It is an export, and the acknowledging of every good thing in your life is itself an act of faith. We also walked through the storm passage in Mark 4, where Jesus tells the disciples to go to the other side and then falls asleep at the back of the boat during the worst of it. The instruction didn't change when the storm hit, and neither does the assignment when things get hard. Facts are real, but facts are time-stamped. The word of God isn't. Walking by faith means operating out of truth rather than circumstances, which is not denial. Faith doesn't deny the storm. It refuses to let the storm determine the outcome. The authority to rebuke what comes against the assignment has already been given. At some point you stop looking for someone else to pray it away and stand up and use what you have.

    Episode 463: Raising A Family, From Our Son's Perspectives Pt. 2

    Philippians 4:8 was the operating standard in this household, and the father describes applying it without apology as "mind control." Not because children should never have an unruly thought, but because a thought taken captive doesn't shape your words or your actions. Both sons confirm they never saw their parents contradict that standard, and when mistakes happened, real apologies followed, specific ones, not vague acknowledgments. That consistency between what was taught and what was lived is the foundation the whole conversation builds on. Offense is a pride issue. Church hurt, at its base level, is an offended person seeing everything through the lens of what is happening to them, which disqualifies them from serving anyone else. The Matthew 18 process exists precisely for these situations, but what people actually do is talk about the person to other people, and the offense spreads. What a parent does in moderation, a child will do in excess. The fruit of that pattern is visible now among ministers publicly tearing each other down on social media, and it traces back to what was or wasn't enforced at home. Discipline wasn't uniform across the two boys. One was unbothered by spankings but devastated by an early bedtime. The other was the inverse. The point was never a single method; it was finding what got each child's attention and applying it consistently, without taking days off because you don't feel like it. The parent-as-friend model gets treated here as a category error. Children need someone who holds the line while providing unconditional love, and both have to be consistent. Families that get that combination right produce adults with the internal capacity to handle a no, extend forgiveness, and walk in faith they watched modeled rather than merely announced.

    Episode 462: Raising A Family, From Our Son's Perspectives Pt. 1

    My wife Katie is usually on with me, but she's preparing for our ladies' conference, so I brought in my two oldest sons instead. Bryce is 24, married to Olivia, and on full-time staff with us at River of Tri-Cities Church in Johnson City, Tennessee. Ethan is 21 and in his third year of internship, spending most of his time evangelizing on campus and building Bible studies. We sat down to talk about the question I get more than almost any other: how do you raise kids who actually turn out? Both boys made the same point independently. They always had a clear picture of what obedience to God looked like because they could see it in front of them every day. Joshua said "me and my house," not just "my house." It starts with the man himself. A standard in the home is not about being harsh or rigid. It is about giving children a foundation they can build on when you are no longer making their decisions for them. Compromise for convenience is what destroys a standard. The little things, a movie that is "probably fine," sitting in the bar area because the wait is long, teach kids that the standard is negotiable under the right circumstances. We used Philippians 4:8 as the filter for what came into our home. We also never confused mistakes with sin. A kid who loads the dishwasher wrong gets corrected, not disciplined. A child who deliberately does what they know is wrong? That is a different conversation entirely. Even living a righteous life in front of your children and holding a consistent standard in the home is not enough on its own if you never push them toward their own relationship with God. At some point, your faith cannot be their faith. They have to get into the Word themselves, pray themselves, seek God themselves. We also never told these boys they had to go into ministry. The expectation was that they would serve the Lord, whatever that looked like. They landed in full-time ministry because that is where God led them, not because we told them that is what we needed them to be. The fruit takes time, but when you see it, it tells you everything about what was actually going on in the house.

    Episode 461: He's Calling YOU Into the Greater

    On June 28th, my husband spoke a word during service: in the remaining months of this year, God will accomplish in and through you what would normally take four years. I am not letting that fall to the ground unclaimed. A prophetic word is not a passive gift. Mary had to receive what Gabriel told her before the supernatural thing could take place, and the same is true for us. We have to mix our faith with the word, declare it, and refuse to let it sit dormant. The wall in front of you is not a dead end. It is a ramp. Reverence is where I want to spend real time, because anything you are around long enough you begin to take for granted. Proverbs 9:10 says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, not the fulfillment of it. Without it, there is no wisdom at all. The story of Eli in 1 Samuel 2 shows what it costs when we honor something else more than we honor God. I also walk through what Paul's approach in Athens teaches us about the difference between eloquent words and actual power. He was not going to out-talk the philosophers. He came in demonstration of the Holy Spirit, because that is what destroys the yoke. Habakkuk chapter two is a positioning scripture I keep coming back to: write the vision plainly so the one who reads it can run. Old ways do not open new doors, and the most dangerous sentence in any organization is "we've always done it this way." I share what my husband and I were working through in Slovakia, why God reduces the army before he wins the battle, and what I learned about authority and declaration during postpartum depression with our youngest son. The people who know their God will do mighty exploits. Write the vision, simplify the path, and run.

    Paul Was a Global Catalyst and So Should You Be

    Paul wrote two-thirds of the New Testament, planted churches across two continents, survived five near-death experiences, and his posture at the end of it all was still: I haven't arrived, I'm pressing forward. That example sits at the center of what it means to carry an active vision rather than mark time. Forgetting what's behind requires releasing failures and successes alike, and the kind of forward motion that actually means something starts there. A Hindu high priest traveled 500 kilometers from home to a crusade in Kanpur, India, carrying his granddaughter who had been paralyzed from the neck down since birth. He had seen a billboard with a face and the words "Let Jesus Heal You." He walked to the front of the room and placed her in my arms. She was instantly and completely healed, and that family walked out filled with the Holy Spirit, having renounced everything they believed before. God recognizes faith wherever he finds it, and healing always answers the question. The power of God is not meant to stay inside a building. It is supposed to saturate the people who gather in one, so that it oozes out into every ordinary environment they occupy: the break room, the sales floor, the craft store. Excellence is the testimony. The fruit of the Spirit visible in your character and the quality of your work earns the right to a conversation, and when that conversation opens, it opens naturally. Missions teams are going out, a revival week is scheduled for the first full week of 2026, and God does not need you to be finished before he puts you to work. He just needs a yes.

    Episode 459: The Anointing to Do Good

    Acts 10:38 contains a word most people read right past: *euergeteo*, translated "doing good," used only once in the entire New Testament. It doesn't mean being kind in a general sense. It means functioning as a benefactor, someone who by virtue of what they carry goes about pouring blessing onto the people around them. Jesus operated that way not as God, but as a man anointed by the Holy Spirit, which means everything he did was made available to humanity, not reserved for divinity. The alabaster box story in Mark 14 sets the right posture. The woman who broke it and poured expensive spikenard over Jesus did it with no audience in mind, took the criticism that followed, and had no platform to speak of. Jesus declared that the whole world would know what she did. That's what motive looks like when it's clean. The mammon test works the same way: God tests stewardship in the natural before releasing the supernatural, looking for people who can carry resources without absorbing the credit and release what flows through them without holding on to it. The anointing to do good isn't a specialized calling. It's the same anointing Jesus carried, now available through the Holy Spirit to anyone willing to function as a vessel rather than a reservoir. Run an errand for someone who can't. Feed a family. Send someone on a trip. Buy a Bible college student's rent for a month. 2 Corinthians 9:8 makes the scope plain: God furnishes in abundance for every good work, not just the ones that come with an audience.
