  • In Jesus's Name Isn't a Blank Check 🔥
    Jul 8 2025

    We’ve all heard it: “Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it.” But what does that really mean?

    In this episode, Pastor Chris dives deep into John 14:13–14 to dismantle the myth of a "vending machine God" and explore what it truly means to pray in alignment with Jesus' character, mission, and Kingdom.

    ✅ Why prayer is not about personal gain ✅ How culture has warped our view of blessing ✅ What holiness actually means in a chaotic world ✅ Why your prayers must glorify God—not yourself

    🙏 Jesus still answers prayers—but not on our terms. Real prayer is relational, purposeful, and always rooted in surrender.

  • Taking Back Your Life and Overcoming Temptations – 1 Corinthians 10:1
    Jul 1 2025

    Temptation is real. But so is God's faithfulness.

    In this episode, we unpack one of the most hope-filled promises in Scripture: “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to man…” (1 Corinthians 10:13). Whether you’re wrestling with sin, stress, or spiritual discouragement, this verse reminds you that you're not alone—and you’re never without a way out.

    🔍 We’ll explore:

    • Why your struggle isn’t unique—and that’s good news

    • How God stays faithful even in your weakest moments

    • What it really means to “not be tempted beyond what you can bear”

    • How to recognize and take the way of escape when it appears

    💡 Bottom Line: Temptation doesn’t define you—your response does. And through God’s strength, you’re not just called to endure, but empowered to overcome.

    📲 Don’t miss this practical, grace-filled episode that will equip you to fight temptation in a world full of it—with courage, clarity, and confidence in God’s faithfulness.

  • "Do not Judge" - The Real Meaning of Matthew 7:1-5
    Jun 24 2025

    “Do not judge”—one of the most quoted verses in the Bible, and also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, we dive deep into Matthew 7:1–5 to uncover what Jesus really meant.

    This isn’t a call to abandon discernment—it’s a challenge to abandon hypocrisy.

    ✅ What you’ll learn:

    • The difference between righteous and unrighteous judgment

    • Why context matters when interpreting Scripture

    • How to lead with humility rather than condemnation

    • How Jesus’ teaching applies to cancel culture, online outrage, and church disagreements

    From planks and specks to social media and real-world relationships, this conversation will challenge you to examine your heart, not just others’ actions.

    💡 “Judging isn’t the problem—hypocritical judging is.”

    Tune in and discover how to walk in grace, truth, and accountability.
