Influence is never neutral. Every conversation, relationship, platform, position, and opportunity we have carries the potential to point people toward Christ or toward ourselves. The world tells us to build our own name, grow our own platform, and make sure our voice is heard. But if Jesus is Lord, then even our influence belongs beneath His crown. The question isn’t simply, “How many people can I reach?” It is, “What am I doing with the people God has allowed me to reach?”

In Episode 40 of the Sanctify Christ as Lord series, we continue the Crown Rights of Christ subseries by examining what it means to sanctify Christ as Lord over our influence. Whether your influence reaches thousands or only a handful of people, it has been entrusted to you for a purpose. Our lives should not leave people impressed with us. They should leave people looking toward Jesus. Our influence is not our kingdom to build. It belongs to the King.

Everything we possess ultimately belongs to God. Our money, homes, resources, opportunities, and even the things we’ve worked hard to acquire are not kingdoms we get to rule independently of Christ. If Jesus is truly Lord, then His crown rights extend to our possessions too. The question isn’t simply, “What am I allowed to have?” but, “How does my King want me to use what He has placed in my hands?”

In Episode 39 of the Sanctify Christ as Lord series, we continue the Crown Rights of Christ subseries by confronting one of the most practical areas of Christ’s lordship: our possessions. Following Jesus means moving from ownership to stewardship, holding earthly things with open hands, and recognizing that Christ has authority over what we have, what we give, and what we treasure. He isn’t Lord of most of our lives. The crown belongs to Christ over everything.

Every decision we make says something about who sits on the throne of our lives. We often ask God to bless the choices we’ve already made, but the lordship of Christ calls us to something deeper: surrendering the decision itself to Him. Our relationships, opportunities, priorities, finances, and plans do not exist outside His authority. If Jesus is Lord, He has the right to direct not only where our lives are going, but the choices that get us there.

In Episode 38 of the Sanctify Christ as Lord series, we continue the Crown Rights of Christ subseries by examining what it means to sanctify Christ as Lord over our decisions. Following Jesus means more than seeking His advice. It means recognizing His right to rule. Before we ask, “What do I want?” we must learn to ask, “What does my King desire?” Because Christ does not merely deserve a place in our decisions. He deserves the throne over them.

There are few words in modern charismatic Christianity more familiar than the anointing. We speak of seeking it, carrying it, protecting it, increasing it, and even imparting it. But what does Scripture actually teach? Has our understanding of the anointing been shaped more by the Bible, or by modern revival culture?

In this episode of the Bold Apologia Podcast, we continue our careful examination of Bill Johnson’s When Heaven Invades Earth by exploring one of its most influential themes. Join us as we compare Scripture with contemporary teaching and ask whether our pursuit of power has reshaped our understanding of the anointing. As always, our aim is not controversy for controversy’s sake, but a deeper love for Christ and a greater commitment to the truth of God’s Word.

The future is one of the greatest sources of fear, uncertainty, and anxiety in our lives. We wonder what tomorrow holds, whether our plans will succeed, and how God is working through circumstances we cannot yet see. But Scripture continually reminds us that the future does not belong to chance… it belongs to Christ. Because He reigns as King, we can entrust every dream, every disappointment, and every unknown to His sovereign care.

In Episode 37 of the Sanctify Christ as Lord series, we begin the Crown Rights of Christ subseries by exploring what it means to surrender your future to the lordship of Jesus. True peace isn’t found in knowing what tomorrow brings, but in knowing the One who already stands there. Join us as we learn to sanctify Christ as Lord over our plans, our hopes, and our future.

Does Numbers 5 really describe or permit abortion? This passage is one of the most frequently cited biblical texts in defense of abortion, but does it actually say what many claim it does? In this episode of the Bold Apologia Podcast, we carefully examine the historical context, Hebrew text, and theological implications of Numbers 5 to separate popular claims from what Scripture actually teaches. Join us as we pursue truth with conviction, clarity, and charity. #BoldApologia #ChristianApologetics #Numbers5 #AbortionDebate #BiblicalTheology #ProLife #Scripture #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #DefendTheFaith #Worldview #Theology

Faithfulness to Christ isn’t measured by how well we begin the race, but by how steadfastly we finish it. The Christian life is a lifelong journey of perseverance, trusting the Lord through seasons of joy, suffering, victory, and trial. Our hope is not found in temporary circumstances, but in the promise that the One who called us is faithful and will sustain His people to the very end.

In Episode 36 of the Sanctify Christ as Lord series, we conclude the Exile sub-series by exploring the biblical call to endure with unwavering faith. In a world that constantly urges believers to compromise or give up, Christ calls us to remain steadfast until the day we see Him face to face. Join us as we consider what it truly means to sanctify Christ as Lord… not just for a season, but until the end.

Pressure has a way of revealing what truly rules our hearts. When opposition comes, convictions are tested, comfort becomes costly, and our allegiance to Christ is brought into sharp focus. Yet throughout Scripture, God’s people repeatedly discovered that seasons of pressure were often the very places where their faith was refined, their witness was strengthened, and the glory of Christ was displayed most clearly.

In Episode 35 of the Sanctify Christ as Lord series, we explore what it means to remain faithful when life becomes difficult. Whether the pressure comes through suffering, persecution, temptation, or the weight of living in a world opposed to Christ, believers are called to stand firm with unwavering hope. Join us as we learn how to sanctify Christ as Lord… even under pressure.

Being misunderstood is never easy, especially when you’re seeking to faithfully follow Christ. The temptation is to become bitter, defensive, or to compromise the truth in order to gain acceptance. Yet throughout Scripture, God’s people were often misunderstood—not because they lacked love, but because their lives and convictions pointed to a different Kingdom.

In Episode 34 of the Sanctify Christ as Lord series, we explore how followers of Jesus should respond when they are misunderstood for their faith. Instead of seeking the approval of the world, we are called to honor Christ with humility, grace, and unwavering conviction, trusting that our identity and vindication ultimately rest in Him.

Who is the Holy Spirit?

For many Christians, the Holy Spirit is either misunderstood, neglected, or reduced to an experience rather than recognized as the third Person of the Holy Trinity. Yet from Genesis to Revelation, the Holy Spirit is revealed as the Lord and Giver of Life, proceeding from the Father, speaking through the prophets, indwelling every believer, and empowering the Church to bear faithful witness to Jesus Christ.

In this message, we explore what Scripture and the historic Christian faith teach about the Holy Spirit—His person, His work, His indwelling presence, and His power. Whether you’ve walked with Christ for many years or are just beginning to understand the work of the Spirit, my prayer is that this message will deepen your love for God and give you a greater appreciation for the One who dwells within every believer and empowers us to live for the glory of Christ.
