    Why Most Christians Don’t Finish What God Called Them To Do

    Click here to send Ryan a text message! Ep. #395 This video uses the story of Nehemiah to teach Christians how to stay focused, resist distraction, overcome opposition, and finish the assignment God has given them. Ryan walks through the story of Nehemiah and the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls to reveal a practical spiritual pattern for staying faithful under pressure. Nehemiah faced criticism, intimidation, discouragement, deception, rumors, and opposition, but he refused to leave the work God had assigned to him. This message is for Christians who feel pulled in too many directions by work, family, social media, politics, culture, conflict, fear, or spiritual distraction. You will learn how to recognize what is trying to pull you off track, how to stay focused on your calling, and how to keep building with one hand while holding the sword of God’s Word in the other.

    Did Trump Start a War… or End an Empire? | Dr. Mimi Song

    Click here to send Ryan a text message! Ep. #394 Join Ryan as he guest hosts The Tamara Scott Show to discuss Trump's recent actions in the Middle East.  Trump, Iran, China, globalism, biblical prophecy, and the post-World War II world order collide in this urgent conversation with Dr. Mimi Song on what Christians must understand about the times. Did Trump start another Middle East war — or is he dismantling the globalist empire that has shaped the world since 1945? This episode unpacks Trump’s strategy against globalism, the meaning of the Iran conflict, why China is connected to the story, and how these events may fit into a larger biblical worldview. Ryan discusses the post-WWII world order, American sovereignty, Iran’s role in global energy, China’s dependence on Middle East oil, the decline of globalist institutions, and why Christians need to be like the sons of Issachar — understanding the times and knowing what to do.

    The Test You're Already Taking (Ambassador for Christ)

    Click here to send Ryan a text message! Ep. #390 Learn what it means to be an ambassador for Christ at work, online, and under pressure—without compromise. What does an ambassador actually do? They represent the interests, values, and message of their King in a culture that doesn’t share those values. In this Bible study, we walk through what it means to be Christ’s ambassador (2 Corinthians 5:20)—and how integrity gets tested when the “bribe” shows up: money, promotion, approval, comfort, or secrecy. We also talk about the Bema Seat (2 Corinthians 5:10) and why God evaluates more than outcomes—He evaluates motives, character, and faith demonstrated through everyday obedience. This isn’t just about church ministry. Your job, your home, your relationships, your reactions under stress, and even your digital life all tell the world who you represent.
