Ep 46 - Series: Identity Unlocked - Pt 2

About This Episode:

Why You Can't Feel God's Love (Knowing vs Believing, Love vs Fear & Living Victoriously)

You know God loves you in your head—but do you believe it in your heart? Most Christians struggle to feel beloved, chosen, and special in God's eyes. This episode reveals why knowing isn't enough and how to make the transition from head knowledge to heart conviction that transforms everything.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The crucial difference between knowing and believing God's love (1 John 4:16)
• Why "God shows no favoritism" actually means you're His favorite
• How to surrender the lies blocking intimacy with God
• Why love (not fear) is the true motivator for obedience
• The key to living victoriously as more than conquerors

Ep 45 - Series: Identity Unlocked - Pt 1

About This Series: This is Part 1 of our "Identity Unlocked" series. Over the next few episodes, we'll dive deep into what sonship really means, how to walk in it daily, and how to recognize when you're slipping back into orphan or slave thinking.

About This Episode:

Most Christians know the phrase "identity in Christ," but few actually walk in it. If you've been stuck in the same patterns of behavior despite trying everything to change, the problem isn't your effort—it's your identity.

In this episode, we expose the two false identities that war against believers: the orphan mindset and the slave mindset. Using the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, we reveal how these hidden operating systems drive your decisions, sabotage your blessings, and keep you from living in the freedom Christ died to give you.

You'll discover:

• ✓ Why behavior modification never works without identity transformation
• ✓ The signs you're living with an orphan or slave mindset
• ✓ How these false identities make you forfeit your God-given inheritance
• ✓ What it truly means to be a son or daughter of God
• ✓ How to break free from religious performance and striving

This isn't about trying harder—it's about believing who God says you are.

Ep 44 - Special Episode

Is the current movement sweeping America a true spiritual revival—or something else entirely?

In the wake of recent events, churches are packed, leaders are speaking Jesus' name, and talk of revival is everywhere. In this episode, we urge believers to pause and ask critical questions: Which Jesus are people proclaiming? Is this the gospel of the kingdom—or a gospel mixed with nationalism and politics?

In this timely episode, they explore:

✅ Why "Jesus plus anything" equals nothing

✅ The difference between revival FOR God vs. OF God

✅ How to test the spirits in this cultural moment

✅ Why God is not American (and why that matters)

✅ The danger of confusing political movements with spiritual awakening

✅ What true repentance and revival actually look like

This isn't about being cynical—it's about being discerning. We want to see genuine revival, but we must ensure people are meeting the real Jesus Christ, not a political figurehead or cultural Christianity.

⚠️ Key Warning: Paul said if anyone preaches another gospel, let them be accursed (Galatians 1:8-9). When the gospel gets mixed with politics, nationalism, or any other agenda, it loses its power to save.

📖 Scriptures Referenced:

• 1 John 4:1 - Test the spirits
• Galatians 1:6-9 - No other gospel
• John 18:36 - My kingdom is not of this world
• Colossians 2:8 - Beware of empty deceit
• Ephesians 2-3 - One new man in Christ

Whether you're excited about what's happening or skeptical, this conversation will challenge you to examine: Where is my allegiance? Am I discerning truth? And am I prepared to follow Jesus even if it costs me everything?
