- Three Scenes, but Only One Answer | The Gospel, The Kingdom, The World
Three Scenes, but Only One Answer | The Gospel, The Kingdom, The World
In this episode, we explore Acts 16 and three encounters where the gospel changed lives. From a respected business leader to a demon-oppressed slave girl and a hardened jailer, each person experiences the same transforming truth: salvation through Jesus. This message challenges us to live gospel-first and to see every encounter as an opportunity to point someone to Christ.
Take the next step at burnthickory.com/nextKey Insights:
- A genuine encounter with Jesus always results in a changed life—seen through actions, attitude, and affection.
- No one is too rich, too broken, or too hardened to be reached by the gospel.
- Living a gospel-first life means choosing obedience over comfort, even when it costs you.
- You don’t need a title or platform to share Jesus. Every believer has a role to play in God's mission.
- Belief in Jesus means full surrender—not just knowledge or admiration but giving Him your entire life.

43 min - In with the New
In with the New | Burnt Hickory Baptist Church
The beginning of a new year is often filled with goals and plans—but what about your walk with God? In this episode, we talk through how to build a stronger foundation for spiritual growth by setting your mind on things above, putting off the old self, and actively walking with Christ. This message gives you seven practical steps to keep your faith from being just a feeling and start living out real change.
Key Insights:
- Spiritual growth requires daily intentionality—you won’t accidentally grow closer to Jesus without effort.
- Your mindset matters—setting your focus on Christ is the first step to real transformation.
- You must actively put sin to death—it won’t just fade over time. Confront it and replace it with godly habits.
- We grow best in community—faith isn’t meant to be lived in isolation. Join the church body and serve.
- Forgiveness and love are essential—holding grudges stunts spiritual growth, but grace keeps us united.

The Wonderful Counselor | The Child is Born
Week one of our Christmas series explores how Jesus is the Wonderful Counselor from Isaiah 9:6. This message calls us to surrender our struggles to the One who understands and has the power to bring healing and hope. Subscribe and listen wherever you are.
Key Take Aways:
- Jesus is more than a Savior—He’s a Counselor who walks with you through pain and brings healing.
- The root of many of our struggles is spiritual, not circumstantial. Knowing God rightly changes everything.
- God cares more about your soul than your situation. He offers lasting peace, not just temporary relief.
- Real healing begins with honesty. You can’t move forward until you're willing to be fully seen.
- Surrender comes before breakthrough. God often waits for your trust before showing you what’s next.
