Sexual Integrity, Purity in Dating, and What the Bible Actually Says
Masculinity makes it safe for femininity to flourish. And men have to lead the way in purity before they ever lead in a relationship. This episode covers the complementarian design of masculine and feminine working together, sexual integrity in dating, Proverbs 5 and 7, Ephesians 4, and what it actually looks like for a man to set the tone in communication, in conflict, and in purity. In this episode: Angela's story: Albanian culture, a powerful mother, and how Jesus made her more feminine than anything else Why masculinity and femininity need each other; and what goes wrong when one is absent Men leading through self-sacrifice, communication, conflict, and emotional tone Proverbs 5 and 7 on sexual integrity; the eyes, the heart, and the trap Not even a hint; Ephesians 4 and the standard that applies to everyone Pornography is as addictive as cocaine; don't quit, and here is what helps Finding a higher joy in Jesus Christ is the only thing that actually replaces lust SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

The Father Wound, Passive Men & the Biblical Standard Nobody Is Talking About
What does it actually mean to be a man of God — and why is it so hard to find in the church, in dating, and in everyday life? This episode covers the full biblical picture of masculinity: from the wounds that produce passive men, to David's six-attribute blueprint, to the complementarian beauty of the masculine and feminine working together. In this episode: • What intentional pursuit actually looks like — and why mixed signals leave women stuck and confused • The Simba Complex: running from your calling, living in hakuna matata, and what it takes to step into your true identity • Toxic therapy culture vs. radical accountability — the difference between a vocabulary for your wounds and actually healing from them • Why passivity in men almost always traces back to a boy who was never initiated into manhood • Responsibility as masculinity — what Genesis 2 reveals about the garden and why nothing flourished until man showed up to tend it • Knowing God as the fuel of manhood — Moses, the burning bush, and "show me your glory" • Beauty and the Beast as the most accurate picture of the masculine and feminine working together that culture never meant to give us SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

Stop Waiting for Permission to Be Strong — Derek Mack on Biblical Masculinity
The version of Jesus most people carry in their minds — gentle, passive, blonde-haired, blue-eyed — is not the Jesus of Scripture. The real Jesus turned over tables, carried heavy stone, wept publicly, welcomed the outcast, and went to the cross without flinching. This episode is a conversation with Derek Mack about what genuine biblical masculinity actually looks like when Jesus is the model instead of culture. In this episode: • Why our domesticated version of Jesus has produced a domesticated version of men • The Greek word androzomai — play the man — and why Polycarp heard it from heaven before he burned • Andrew Tate and why half-truths are more dangerous than outright lies • The Peter Pan generation — living in Neverland, escaping into video games, avoiding the call to grow up • Why the fatherless crisis is at the center of everything happening with men right now • 1 Corinthians 16:13 and the call to be on guard, stand firm, be courageous, be strong, and do everything in love • Stop waiting for permission to be strong SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

Preston Morrison on Why God's Correction Is a Sign of His Delight Not His Anger
A good father does not correct a child he has given up on. He corrects the one he is still invested in — the one he delights in. This episode is a conversation with Preston Morrison about what God's correction actually is, why it is one of the clearest signs of His love, and how to respond when you feel that prompting that something is off. In this episode: Proverbs 3 — the Lord disciplines those He loves, as a father the son He delights in Why correction from God sounds nothing like condemnation from the enemy What God's wrath in Romans 1 actually is — and why most people misread it What it feels like when the Holy Spirit corrects you — even in the smallest moments Why the faster you are grieved by what grieves God the closer you are to Him Don't run from correction — run toward it like the buffalo in the storm Repentance — teshuvah, metanoia, and what Jesus meant in Mark 1 SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

Preston Morrison on Tearing Down Idols and Making Room for God
Jesus did not die for followers. He did not die for servants. He died to restore our friendship with God — and we have to come back to the table. This episode is a conversation with Preston Morrison about what it looks like to re-dig the old wells, tear down what is competing with God, and return to the simple things that have always carried the presence of God. In this episode: Preston's fostering and adoption story — why God told him this was not for Maxon, it was for him The pleasure of the Lord — what it is, what produces it, and why it becomes an addiction Idols defined — anything that occupies the part of your heart God alone was meant to occupy Why addressing idols is romantic not religious — the marriage illustration that reframes everything John 15 and friendship with God — why this has to be at the center of everything What the church needs to recover right now — worship, the Word, prayer, intercession, and patience Memorial stones — Joshua 4 and why we need to remember what God has done before we ask for what is next SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

Pastor Michael Koulianos on Union With Christ and Why It Is Not About You
Spiritual formation is an intentional process of being transformed into Christ-likeness — for the sake of others. That last phrase is what the church has quietly dropped. This episode is a rich, theologically deep conversation with Pastor Michael Koulianos about what formation was always meant to be, why the self has become the center of so much Christian practice, and how the cross reorders everything. In this episode: Why the current obsession with personality, calling, and passion is a sign of expressive individualism making its way into the church Find a church and stay there — Eugene Peterson's one line that reframes everything about how we approach community The vine and the branches — why severing anything God is doing from the Lord Himself turns it into an idol Pre-fall Adam was not self-aware — he was enamored with God, and that is what formation is recovering Why Jesus does not give life — He gives Himself, and in giving Himself He gives life Angela's honest testimony of being platformed before she was rooted and what kept her tethered to Jesus The Christian life includes you but it is not about you SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

Pastor Michael Koulianos on Revival and What the Church Is Missing Right Now
Pastor Michael Koulianos has been in rooms where the Holy Spirit moved in ways that could not be explained, manufactured, or replicated. He has also been in rooms where everything was tried and nothing happened. This episode is a conversation about the difference — what revival actually is, what produces it, and why the church in the West is so hungry for something she has largely stopped making room for. In this episode: • The Holy Spirit is a person not a force — and that distinction changes everything • You can grieve the Holy Spirit — what that means practically and why most of us do it without realizing • Pastor Michael's personal story — how an encounter with the Holy Spirit redirected the entire trajectory of his life • What it looks like when the Holy Spirit actually moves vs. when it is manufactured enthusiasm • Revival is not an event — it is what happens when the people of God return to their first love • What the church needs to recover right now and what Pastor Michael believes God is stirring • How to position yourself and your community to make room for the Holy Spirit SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

Why Most People Struggle to Pray — and What Actually Helps
The Lord's Prayer is not a prayer you pray — it is a school you attend. Every line is a classroom teaching you something about who God is, who you are, and what you actually need. This episode walks through the full framework of the Lord's Prayer alongside a practical theology of prayer for anyone who has ever wanted to pray more but did not know where to start. In this episode: Our Father in heaven — why the opening two words reframe everything about how you approach God Hallowed be your name — what it means to treat God as holy before you ask for anything Your kingdom come, your will be done — praying in alignment rather than negotiation Give us today our daily bread — why Jesus taught us to ask for today's needs and not tomorrow's Forgive us our debts as we forgive — the uncomfortable condition built into the prayer Lead us not into temptation — what this reveals about our own vulnerability The six windows of prayer and how to find which one connects you most deeply to God SPONSORS & SUPPORT This series is brought to you with the support of the New International Version (NIV) — the Bible translation we use when reading, studying, and preaching.

Don't Mistake Adrenaline for Anointing
Making disciples does not mean getting people to pray a prayer and tick a box on belief. It means immersing them in the character of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the way you live — and then teaching them the patterns of life that flow out of believing the right things. This episode reframes the Great Commission from the ground up and makes the case that you are the only Jesus some people will ever see. In this episode: Adrenaline vs. anointing — and how easily we confuse them Why the early church was seen as a philosophy not a religion — and why that distinction matters The prize is not a crowd — pizza gets people to show up, but that is not discipleship Jesus chose the shepherd as the primary metaphor for leadership for a reason Angela's experience of being thrown on stages before being rooted in a local church The only Jesus people will ever see is the one you represent — do they fall in love?

Your Body Is Not a Problem to Fix — It Is a Temple to Steward
Wearing your body down is not a badge of how hard you are working for Jesus. It is a sign that something has gone wrong. This episode makes the case that your body is a spiritual reality — not a machine to manage — and that how you sleep, eat, rest, and move is an act of worship just as much as anything that happens on Sunday morning. In this episode: • The Gnostic lie the church has inherited — physical bad, spiritual good — and why it is not biblical • Why your body carries the weight of unprocessed emotion and trauma • The three major factors of soul health relative to the body: diet, exercise, and rest • Darren's story of bleeding internally at 29 — and what it took to realize his body was not the enemy • Angela's story of panic attacks, disordered eating, and learning what her body was actually saying • Why Sabbath is not about doing nothing — it is about learning to receive being loved for no good reason • What it means to steward your body as an offering to the Lord rather than an idol to perfect SPONSORS This series is brought to you with the support of the New International Version (NIV) — the Bible translation we use when reading, studying, and preaching.

Why Lust Is Not About Sex — and Every Sin Is Actually a Misdirected Desire for God
Every sin is a distorted desire. Underneath lust is a longing for connection. Underneath anger is a loss of identity. Underneath sloth is an inability to love yourself enough to take care of yourself. This episode walks through the seven deadly sins not as a list of behaviors to avoid but as a diagnostic tool for understanding where the soul has gone sideways — across every dimension of your life In this episode: Pride as an inaccurate view of self — and why inferiority is just as much a form of pride as superiority Anger as a sign of lost identity — and why most angry people are actually the most insecure Envy and the spark of pleasure when someone else fails Sloth — not laziness but the neglect of things that matter, while staying busy doing everything else Why greed, gluttony, and lust are all misdirected longings for connection with God How the seven deadly sins work themselves out in each of the five dimensions of the soul You can hide from God in 10 hours of prayer — the spiritual unhealth nobody talks about SPONSORS This series is brought to you with the support of the New International Version (NIV) — the Bible translation we use when reading, studying, and preaching.

What A Healthy Soul ACTUALLY Looks Like From the Bible
Love is not a feeling first. Joy is not happiness. Patience is not passive waiting. And kindness is not just being nice. This episode walks through the fruit of the Spirit as the actual markers of a healthy soul — redefining each one from the ground up with Pastor Bill Dogterom, in a conversation that will quietly wreck you in the best way. In this episode: • Love as the environment the soul was made to swim in • Joy as the energy cell — what enables endurance through the hardest seasons • Shalom as pervasive wellbeing independent of circumstances • Kindness as mercy and goodness as grace — the two most powerful forces for transformation in the universe • Why the fruit of the Spirit are warfare characteristics not Hallmark card virtues • The hardest part of the Christian life is not suffering — it is receiving good things without running off like a kid with a popsicle SPONSORS This series is brought to you with the support of the New International Version (NIV) — the Bible translation we use when reading, studying, and preaching.

What the Bible reveals about true Worship — With Lindy Cofer
The first time worship is mentioned in the Bible, a father is asked to offer his only son on an altar. That single scene in Genesis 22 becomes the archetype for everything worship means for the rest of Scripture. This episode traces that thread through Leviticus, Romans 12, and Revelation 4, and makes the case that knowing what worship actually is changes everything about how you live it. In this episode: • Genesis 22 and the principle of first mention — why the first time a word appears in Scripture sets the pattern for everything after • Why Abraham's response of worship is wholehearted trust, not naive obedience • Leviticus and the sacrificial system — why every sacrifice was about drawing near to God, not earning his favor • Living sacrifices crawl off the altar — a practical framework for noticing what has quietly stopped being an offering to God • The difference between worship songs and Christian music — and why that distinction matters more than people think • Lindy's story from the mission field with Heidi Baker — when nothing in her toolkit worked except knowing who Jesus is • Revelation 4 and the throne room of heaven — what is actually at the center of all reality SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.

Reframing Parenting in Your Christian Walk
98% of a worldview is formed by age 12. And if you are handing your kids a device and expecting Sunday morning to do the discipleship, the math does not add up. This episode is a completely unplanned but deeply needed conversation about raising resilient kids — from screen time and sheltering to the culture of your home and how God uses the hardest parenting seasons to form you. In this episode: • Why the goal is not to raise kids who are protected from everything but kids who can engage with anything • The difference between sheltering and discipling — and why both matter • What Darren asks his kids every time he drives them to school • Why your instinct to shut it down when your kid asks a hard question is the exact wrong move • Connection is everything — how to stay the safe place as they get older • Bring them up in the culture of the Lord — what Ephesians 6 actually says about parenting • What to do when you realize you are parenting with tools your own parents gave you that are not working SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.

Everybody worships. The only choice is what you worship. And pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. This episode opens John 4, builds a theology of worship with worship leader Lindy Cofer, and makes the case that worship is not a song you sing on Sunday — it is the whole orientation of your life, and scripture is the only thing that can keep it rightly directed. In this episode: What it means to worship in spirit and in truth — John 4 and the Samaritan woman You become like what you worship — why that is the most important truth about the soul Romans 12 and the living sacrifice — your whole life is on the altar Lindy's testimony — from depression at 12 to the cross at 18 to 20 years of worship ministry Screen time as a worship report — what your phone reveals about what you actually love If we do not let the Bible define worship culture will SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.

How to pray like Daniel to outlast any crisis.
Daniel prayed three times a day at 85. The habits formed in him as a 15-year-old under Josiah's reformation sustained him through three kings of Babylon and all the way to the lions' den. This episode asks whether what we resolve as young people will last a lifetime — and makes the case that prayer is the counter-formational practice that makes it possible, especially now when AI, algorithms, and the attention economy are competing for the same attention we were made to give to God. In this episode: Daniel 6 and what a lifetime of faithful prayer produces Only 10% of American Christians are resilient disciples — and the markers are basic The attention economy is designed for addiction and the church needs to say so AI is being designed for attachment and it will replace prayer if we let it Five markers of resilient discipleship — and how to build them in the next generation What prayer actually looks like — three honest testimonies from the hosts SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.

Living Faithfully in a Distracted World - what Daniel 3 reveals
You become what you worship. And the way transformation happens is not through information — it is through changing what you love. This episode opens Daniel chapter 3, traces the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego through the furnace, and builds a theology of worship for a generation being formed by everything except the presence of God. In this episode: • Every empire demands devotion — and Babylon is not coming, it is already here • Music as formation — why Nebuchadnezzar repeated the instruments so many times and what that reveals • The death of consumer Christianity — even if he does not, we will not bow • Why worship is not a warmup but the war itself — the primary battleground for the soul • James K.A. Smith on cultural liturgies and why what you repeat without thinking is shaping who you are becoming • Angela's testimony of a hard season where worship was the first thing to go — and the last thing to come back • Babylon gets redeemed not by escaping it but by worshiping faithfully inside it SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.

Living for God in a distorted Culture — Lessons from Daniel
Empire forms you before it forces you. That was Babylon's strategy with Daniel — and it is still the strategy today. New location, new language, new literature, new name, new food. All of it designed to rewrite a teenager from the inside out without him knowing it was happening. This episode reads Daniel chapter 1 and draws a direct line to the algorithm, the feed, and the culture forming the next generation right now. In this episode: Babylon's five formation tactics and their modern equivalents Daniel resolved — what that Hebrew word actually means How God works in Babylon through one person, one relationship, one act of faithfulness Gen Z is not trying to survive culture — they are trying to win it We are not here to destroy Babylon. We are here to redeem it. SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.

Prophecy is Ordinary People Speaking God's Heart Into the World
Paul never treats prophecy as a platform for gifted individuals. He situates it within love, order, and edification. That framework is what this episode is about — a full biblical theology of the gift of prophecy, what it looks like when it is working well, what goes wrong when it is not, and how every believer can grow in it. In this episode: • Prophecy in Acts: how the Spirit directed, mobilized, broke barriers, and prepared the church through this gift • What prophecy actually is — spirit-empowered speech that reveals God's heart in the present moment • Personal stories of prophetic words that were impossibly specific and deeply healing • How to receive revelation, interpret it, and deliver it with humility • The danger of emotionalism, projection, and spiritual manipulation in prophetic ministry • The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy — what that means and why it matters • How to grow in the prophetic: intimacy, humility, community, and risk This series is sponsored by Logos Bible Software — and all three of us genuinely use it. Whether you're trying to go deeper in Scripture, prep for teaching, or just slow down and actually understand what you're reading, Logos is the tool. It gives you context, original language insights, commentaries, and more, all in one place. It's not a shortcut — it's a companion.
