3Crosses Podcast

In this week’s episode, Pastor Danny explores 1 John 1:5–2:2 and the Advent theme of peace found in God’s light. Together we unpack what it means to walk in the light, confront darkness, and practice confession that restores fellowship with God and others. Join us as we reflect on how true peace is experienced when we step honestly into the truth.

Advent shines a light into the darkness of our hearts and world. John calls us to step out of hiding and into honesty with God, where confession opens the door for cleansing and restored fellowship. Jesus is our advocate and atoning sacrifice, proving that we don’t need to fear the light. Christmas is the invitation to walk with God in truth, freedom, and grace.

In this episode, Austin Payne and AJ talk about how Advent invites us to slow down, draw near to the real Jesus, and rediscover the kind of joy that can’t be shaken by circumstances.

John opens his letter by reminding us that the story of Jesus isn’t theory or myth — it’s eyewitness reality. God entered our world in flesh and blood, seen, heard, and touched. Advent begins with the stunning truth that God came near, and that nearness brings fullness of joy. In a season filled with noise and nostalgia, we anchor ourselves in the real Jesus who really came for us.

In this message, Pastor Danny Strange unpacks Matthew 17:14–20 and reveals how faith is the key that activates spiritual victory. Through the story of the desperate father and Jesus’ powerful response, we learn that even mustard-seed faith can move mountains when placed in Jesus. Discover how a life of prayer, trust, and daily responsiveness to God leads us into true, victorious living.

Spiritual victory requires faith, but not the amount of faith we think—just a mustard seed's worth is enough when placed in Jesus. The disciples failed to heal the boy not because they lacked sufficient faith, but because they stopped relying on God and began trusting in their own abilities, forgetting to pray and ask God to do what only He can do. The victorious Christian life is simply cultivating prayer as a rhythm, responding in faith to whatever God brings to our attention, and actively participating in the work He's already doing.

Generosity is a surprising but powerful weapon in spiritual warfare, breaking money’s grip on our hearts and aligning us with God’s kingdom. Pastor Danny explores how giving increases our usefulness to God and advances His work in the world. The early church paired prayer and generosity to change their cities— and we’re invited to do the same today

Scripture reveals an unexpected truth: generosity may be the most powerful weapon God has given us for spiritual warfare. From Daniel to the early church, the pattern is clear—prayer combined with radical generosity advances God's kingdom like nothing else. We'll discover why wealth can decrease our usefulness to God, how generosity breaks mammon's grip by relocating our hearts from earth to heaven, and why the early church didn't just pray for needs—they funded what they prayed for.
