  • Tough Times Don’t Last – God’s Got You!
    Apr 28 2025

    In this episode, we’re diving into a powerful reminder that no matter what you’re facing, this season is temporary, but God’s promises are eternal. Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but Scripture reassures us that trouble won’t last always (Psalm 30:5).

    We’ll explore how Joseph went from the pit to the palace (Genesis 50:20), how God provided for Elijah in unexpected ways (1 Kings 17), and how Job received double for his trouble (Job 42:10). Through every trial, God is working behind the scenes, strengthening your faith (James 1:2-3) and positioning you for something greater (Romans 8:28).

    Join me as we uncover biblical truths that will help you stand firm, trust God’s plan, and walk in victory. Your tough times won’t last—but your testimony will!

  • Real Men Pray: The Power of Prayer
    Apr 14 2025

    Let’s be real—life is a fight. Every day, you battle stress, pressure, expectations, and the unknown. But here’s the truth: Real men don’t quit. They pray.

    Jesus didn’t tell His disciples to tough it out alone—He told them to always pray and never give up (Luke 18:1). If you’re tired, frustrated, or just trying to figure life out, this episode is for you.

    Why You Need This Episode:

    • Strength isn’t about muscles—it’s about mindset. Prayer makes you stronger.
    • Winners don’t just work hard—they pray hard.
    • You can’t control everything—but you can stay connected to the One who does.

  • Love is not Acceptance
    Apr 7 2025

    In today’s world, love and acceptance are often treated as one and the same. The Church is told that to truly love, we must accept everything—every belief, every lifestyle, every choice. But is that what the Bible teaches?

    In this powerful episode of Behind the Pews, we explore the biblical distinction between love and acceptance. Jesus commanded us to love, but He never commanded us to embrace sin. He forgave the woman caught in adultery, yet He told her, “Go and sin no more.” Love is patient and kind, but it does not rejoice in wrongdoing—it rejoices with the truth (1 Corinthians 13:6).
