Is God Doing Something New? Revival, Resistance, and Matthew 9
What if the greatest obstacle to what God wants to do next is our attachment to what He's already done? This week, we're discussing revival, religious expectations, new wine and new wineskins, and the courage to obey God even when others disagree. We also explore the pressures of public ministry, the importance of integrity, and how Jesus calls us to compassion rather than simply building platforms. In this episode: The growing hunger for Jesus among Gen Z, student-led Jesus clubs, and signs of spiritual awakening. Matthew 9, religious resistance, and why people sometimes struggle to recognize what God is doing. Christian division, theological disagreements, online criticism, and the fear of being misunderstood. Christian content, social media influence, financial integrity, accountability, and using technology to share the gospel. Choosing obedience over people's approval, even when following God's direction means disappointing others. New wine and new wineskins, spiritual disciplines, and why we cannot turn encounters with God into formulas. The Holy Spirit, spontaneous ministry, healing testimonies, and learning to respond to God's leading. SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

When Faith Becomes a Choice: Trusting God Through Disappointment
Can we believe Jesus is our peace and still struggle with anxiety? This week, we’re talking about faith and mental health, church hurt, and the shame that keeps us silent. We also explore the pressures of public ministry, beauty and identity in Christ, and why discipleship and Christian community matter as we grow. In this episode: Lessons from Girls Gone Bible, touring, and the importance of local church community, mentorship, and accountability. Church hurt, deconstruction, and the fear of never measuring up as a Christian. The gospel of the Kingdom, restoration, and questions about heaven and the new creation. Beauty standards, cosmetic surgery, and finding our identity beyond physical appearance. Pursuing integrity in public and private through repentance, humility, and ongoing discipleship. Faith and anxiety, learning to rest, and creating safe spaces for confession, compassion, and healing. Choosing faith through disappointment, trusting the authority of Scripture, and the ripple effect of a life transformed by Jesus. SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

Stop Chasing a Prophetic Word and Start Obeying God
How do we know when God is speaking, and what should we do with a prophetic word? We explore the difference between words of knowledge and prophecy, how to test what we hear against Scripture, and why humility matters when praying for others. Along the way, we talk about anxiety and identity, the reliability of the Bible, church hurt, and healthy leadership. This conversation is an invitation to grow in discernment, obey what God has already said, and trust Him in the ordinary moments of life. In this episode: • Why we can trust Scripture and how ancient manuscripts and Bible translations shape the conversation • An honest discussion about anxiety, emotional reactivity, therapy, and the labels we carry • Church hurt, healthy leadership, and why asking questions and pursuing accountability matter • The purpose of spiritual gifts and the difference between words of knowledge and prophecy • How to pray for others with compassion, simplicity, consent, and room for the Holy Spirit • How to test spiritual impressions, share prophetic words with humility, and avoid forcing major life decisions • Why everyday obedience matters, along with five practical keys for growing in prophetic ministry SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

Prayer Training Starts Here: The Theology, the Spirit, and Why Everyone Gets to Play
Before you can pray for people with power, you need a foundation. Not a formula, a foundation. Pastor Jon has taught this prayer training all over the world, and in this episode he walks us through it from the very beginning, starting with the question most people never ask: what do you actually believe about whether the ministry of Jesus is still for today? In this episode: The biblical case from Genesis to Acts for why the Spirit didn’t stop moving when the apostles died and why that changes everything about how you show up to pray for someone How Jesus did ministry, why “He was God” is not the full answer, and what obedience, identity, and the filling of the Spirit have to do with how we do ministry now What kairos time means in Mark 1 and why Jesus announcing the Kingdom of God carried so much significance The three things that marked Jesus’ life: obedience, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit remaining, along with what it takes to cultivate a life in step with Him Deliverance in India, holy laughter at a Saturday night conference right before COVID, a 15-year-old whose story started changing in a ministry moment, and a backpack that God had been setting up for years SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

The First Classroom in Hell Is a Bible Study Without Context | Live at The Send
Satan quoted Psalm 91 to the Son of God. His citations were accurate. His chapter and verse were right, yet he omitted the very next line, the one that promised his own demise. The first classroom in hell is a Bible study without context. This episode is a live teaching from The Send where Pastor Darren and Angela unpack Matthew 4, counter-formation, and what it looks like to be formed by Jesus in a world that is actively forming you into something else. In this episode: Matthew 4 and the temptation of Jesus where Satan uses scripture to combat faithfulness, grab power, and omit what does not serve him Gen Z Bible reading hit 49% in one year and belief in the Bible's accuracy is shrinking at the same time Engagement is outpacing conviction and what the Barna data actually reveals about the church right now The first classroom in hell is a Bible study without context and it is happening on Instagram every day You can quote scripture and still be Satan and the difference between quoting the word and submitting to it Angela's testimony of being saved at 25, delivered from alcoholism and eating disorders, and what the Word did in her life Cultural Christianity has changed three things including your relationship with scripture, the church, and the lordship of Jesus SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

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.
