  • The Church’s Money Problem

    The Church’s Money Problem
    Feb 12 2026
    The early church did not operate on a mandated percentage. They met in homes. They shared what they had. Money moved when someone had need—not to sustain structures. In this episode, Phil Robertson walks through Acts and Stephen’s sermon to clarify what the first believers actually practiced. The Law of Moses required ten percent. The church is not under the Law of Moses. Acts describes generosity under grace, not obligation under law. Stephen declared that the Most High does not live in houses made by men. The household of God is the people themselves. The church is a spiritual house—not a financial system built around structures. This episode addresses the tension between generosity and extraction, hospitality and infrastructure, and what happens when that distinction is blurred.

  • If God Is Removed, Goodness Collapses

    If God Is Removed, Goodness Collapses
    Feb 11 2026
    Phil starts with a simple word: good. Not as a slogan, not as a political label — but as a definition. Jesus narrows the category immediately: no one is good but God. That statement eliminates cultural ownership of the term. If goodness originates in God, then removing Him does not leave neutrality — it leaves decay. Phil walks through what happens when people refuse to retain the knowledge of God and why moral collapse is not surprising when the source is rejected. Goodness cannot be self-manufactured. It either flows from God or it does not exist at all. If the foundation is removed, the structure will not stand.

  • You’re Solving the Wrong Problem

    You’re Solving the Wrong Problem
    Feb 10 2026
    Jesus doesn’t address the visible problem first. He goes straight to sin, because sin is the real issue beneath every other condition. When Jesus forgives sins, authority is already established. Healing only proves what was already true. In this episode: Matthew 9 verse 2, Matthew 9 verse 4 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • If Your Mind Isn’t Changed, Nothing Is

    If Your Mind Isn’t Changed, Nothing Is
    Feb 9 2026
    Everything that comes out of a person flows from where the mind is set. Violence, hatred, restraint, and love are not accidents—they are outcomes. The gospel is not guidance for better behavior. It is the power of God that changes a person’s standing and orientation once and for all. Without that change, nothing downstream holds. Transformation does not begin with effort or morality. It begins with a renewed mind, grounded in the death and resurrection of Jesus, and lived out through obedience that follows naturally from that reality.

  • The Majority Isn’t the Problem

    The Majority Isn’t the Problem
    Feb 5 2026
    The issue facing Christians is not a lack of numbers or influence. Scripture doesn’t frame the problem that way. Philippians 1 shows that the gospel does not stall because of opposition, pressure, or confinement. It advances through partnership, discipline, and steady conduct. This episode clarifies what responsibility actually looks like for believers who are already inside the faith. Not outrage. Not retreat. Not noise. Just a settled commitment to defend the gospel, live in a way that fits it, and trust that clarity—not escalation—is how it moves forward.

  • Who You Are, According to Scripture

    Who You Are, According to Scripture
    Feb 4 2026
    Christians often borrow identity from labels Scripture never gave them.Phil points out that the New Testament is quieter and firmer, describing believers as citizens, household members, priests, and a people under a King—not denominations, movements, or factions.This isn’t a call to do more or feel more, but a reminder of what is already true.When identity is settled, obedience loses its pressure, forgiveness its fragility, and restraint begins to look like clarity rather than loss.Jesus is King, the church is His body, and believers belong to the household of God.

  • Why Life Is Worth Living

    Why Life Is Worth Living
    Feb 2 2026
    Life doesn’t lose its value because circumstances get dark. It loses clarity when hope is removed. In this episode, Phil Robertson explains why despair takes hold when people are told this life is all there is—and why that belief is false. Phil traces rising worry, hopelessness, and even suicide back to a failure to understand what a human life is actually worth. Scripture doesn’t ground life’s value in success, money, or comfort. It grounds it in the price that was paid. When hope is deferred, the heart grows sick—but when worth is restored, peace follows. This is not sentiment and it’s not optimism. It’s a reminder that life is worth living because it was purchased at a cost, and because death is not the end.
