    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.

    Is Belief in Jesus Blind Faith… or Is There Evidence?

    Is belief in Jesus Christ based on blind faith… or credible evidence? In this video, we examine the historical, scientific, and philosophical evidence surrounding Christianity and the resurrection of Jesus. From the origin of the universe and the fine-tuning of physical laws to the historical case for the resurrection, we explore arguments that many historians, scientists, and philosophers take seriously. This video examines: • The origin of the universe and the Kalam Cosmological Argument • Fine-tuning in the laws of physics • The mystery of DNA and biological information • Historical evidence for Jesus of Nazareth • Non-Christian sources like Tacitus and Josephus • Gary Habermas’ Minimal Facts argument for the resurrection • N.T. Wright’s historical analysis of the early Christian movement • Why the resurrection of Jesus remains one of the most debated events in history Christianity stands or falls on the resurrection of Jesus. If it happened, it changes everything. Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, or simply curious, this video invites you to explore the evidence and decide for yourself. ⸻ 📚 Sources discussed include: William Lane Craig – Reasonable Faith Gary Habermas – Resurrection research N.T. Wright – The Resurrection of the Son of God Lee Strobel – The Case for Christ Stephen Meyer – Signature in the Cell ⸻ If this video made you think, share your perspective in the comments — even if you disagree.

    I Asked AI: "If You Were Satan, How Would You Destroy Christianity?"

    What if the greatest threat to Christianity in America isn’t persecution — but distraction? In this video, we explore a powerful thought experiment: If Satan wanted to turn Americans away from Jesus, how would he do it? Not through banning churches. Not through burning Bibles. But through busyness, comfort theology, political tribalism, cultural embarrassment, and shifting the focus away from the resurrection. This is a wake-up call for Christians and a serious challenge for skeptics. Because if Jesus really rose from the dead — that changes everything. 👉 Subscribe for more biblical insight, cultural analysis, and real conversations about faith. #Christianity #Faith #Jesus #Resurrection #SpiritualWarfare #BiblicalTruth #ChurchInAmerica #CulturalChristianity #Apologetics #gospel Chapter List – “What Would You Do If You Were Satan?” 00:00 – The Question That Changes Everything           “If you were Satan… how would you turn people away from Jesus?” 00:31 – Why I Asked AI This Question           Explaining the experiment and why AI was used to explore this strategy. 01:45 – The Real Strategy Wouldn’t Be Obvious           Why shutting down churches or banning Bibles wouldn’t be the primary tactic. 03:12 – Strategy #1: Busyness Over Depth           Keep Christians active — but spiritually shallow. 03:34 – Identity Without Intimacy           Replacing relationship with cultural Christianity. 03:55 – Strategy #2: Comfort Theology           Turning Jesus into a life coach instead of Lord. 05:30 – Strategy #3: Political & Tribal Confusion           Fusing faith with party identity so the Gospel gets distorted. 08:12 – Strategy #4: Sexual & Moral Redefinition           Normalizing confusion about truth, identity, and design. 10:05 – Strategy #5: Distract & Numb the Culture           Endless noise, scrolling, outrage, and entertainment. 11:56 – The War Over Truth Itself           If truth becomes subjective, Jesus becomes optional. 13:30 – The Final Warning           The most effective deception isn’t persecution — it’s subtle drift. 14:45 – What We Must Do Instead           Return to prayer, repentance, discernment, and real relationship with Christ.

    When Did We Stop Calling Evil... Evil?

    During the recent State of the Union, something stood out — not because of policy, but because of how we respond to moral issues in our culture. When did we stop calling evil… evil? In this video, we examine Isaiah 5:20, Romans 1, and the growing moral confusion in modern culture. This isn’t about politics. It’s about discernment. It’s about truth. It’s about whether Christians still have the courage to call right “right” and wrong “wrong.” Have we traded conviction for comfort? Have we allowed popularity to define goodness? Have we stopped testing everything through Scripture? Let’s wrestle with it together. 📖 Scriptures referenced: – Isaiah 5:20 – Romans 1 – 1 Thessalonians 5:21 If you care about biblical truth, Christian worldview, and cultural discernment, consider subscribing. ---------------------------------- More Videos Like This At: https://youtube.com/@truthbehindthemike ----------------------------------- Get 30-Days FREE of the Covenant Eyes VICTORY SHIELD APP: Use promo code "BEHINDTHEMIKE" https://www.covenanteyes.com/how-it-works/ ------------------------------------ #ChristianWorldview #Discernment #Isaiah520 #FaithAndCulture #BiblicalTruth Send us Fan Mail Support the show Watch these podcasts on YouTube!

    The Most Dangerous Place to Be Spiritually (Jesus Warned About This)

    Most people think spiritual danger looks like rebellion. But Jesus warned about something far more subtle — and far more dangerous. This video explores what the Bible says about lukewarm faith, spiritual drift, and how believers slowly lose passion for God without realizing it. In Revelation 3, Jesus delivers one of His strongest warnings to the church — a warning about becoming spiritually lukewarm. But what does lukewarm Christianity really mean? And why is spiritual indifference often more dangerous than outright rebellion? In this message, we talk about: • The slow fade of faith • How believers drift from God without noticing • The warning signs of spiritual complacency • Why lukewarm faith is so dangerous • How Jesus lovingly calls drifting hearts back to Him If you’ve ever felt spiritually dry, distracted, or stuck going through religious routines without passion, this message will help you recognize the warning signs and rediscover spiritual fire. ⸻ 📖 Scriptures Covered Revelation 3:14-22 Hebrews 2:1 Romans 12:11 Matthew 22:37 #ChristianMotivation #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #BibleTeaching #ChristianEncouragement #LukewarmFaith #WatchForTheDrift Time-Stamped Chapter List 00:00 – The Most Dangerous Spiritual Place    Indifference vs rebellion and the danger of the “slow fade” from God. 00:36 – The Comfortable Place That’s Spiritually Dangerous.     Why what feels safe, normal, and harmless can actually destroy faith. 00:47 – Jesus’ Warning to the Church of Laodicea (Revelation 3)    Understanding Christ’s strongest warning about lukewarm faith. 01:10 – What Lukewarm Christianity Actually Looks Like    Going through religious motions without passion, surrender, or dependence. 01:42 – How Good Believers Quietly Drift Away    How busyness, stress, and responsibilities slowly sideline God. 02:03 – The Slow Process of Spiritual Indifference    Why indifference grows gradually and is often harder to recognize than rebellion. 02:44 – The Danger of Thinking You’re Spiritually “Fine”    Laodicea’s wealth, self-confidence, and hidden spiritual emptiness. 03:10 – Jesus’ Loving Invitation Back    Correction, discipline, and the powerful image of Jesus knocking at the door. 03:35 – The Real Heart-Check Questions    Is faith shaping your daily life — or becoming background noise? 04:09 – Relationship vs Religion: Why Jesus Died    Why Christ came to restore relationships, not create religious routine. 04:25 – The True Spiritual Danger Explained    Comfort without conviction, belief without surrender, routine without           relationship. 04:38 – When Your Passion for God Feels Like It’s Fading    Hope, restoration, and God’s gentle call back to deeper faith. 05:00 – Final Encouragement + Call to Share & Subscribe Send us Fan Mail Support the show Watch these podcasts on YouTube!
