The music we loved as teenagers sticks with us for a lifetime. But how does it intersect with our faith? This week, we launch our new series, "Personal Playlist," by examining the powerful—and often controversial—music that shaped us during our most formative years.

We discuss how artists from Elvis to KISS became cultural battlegrounds, especially within the church. More importantly, we explore the biblical idea of "taking every thought captive" and applying it to the media we consume. This is a fun, story-filled discussion about memory, music, and learning to live with discernment in a world full of noise.

Satan loves to paint Christianity as a straitjacket. A restrictive set of rules. A joyless existence. But what if that's the biggest lie we've ever been sold?

You'll learn that every command from God is not meant to kill your joy, but to maximize it, because He knows exactly how you were designed to flourish. It's time to change the way you think about God's love.

Ever wonder where demons truly reside? The answer is more complex and terrifying than you might imagine. In this episode of "Oh Heavens," host Jeff Dixon reveals a startling biblical truth: not all fallen angels are free.

While some wreak havoc on earth as Satan's agents, a powerful faction is already imprisoned, bound in chains in a shadowy compartment of hell called Tartarus, awaiting final judgment. Discover the two distinct classes of demons—the free and the imprisoned—and understand why this knowledge is crucial for every believer. What you learn will change how you view the spiritual battle raging around us.

Have you ever felt God ask you to do something that didn't make sense? For a broke, overwhelmed new mom, giving away 10% of her tiny income seemed impossible. Yet, she chose to obey a simple promise: "If you tithe, I will provide."

Join Jeff Dixon in The Carpenter Shop as he explores one of the most challenging and rewarding acts of faith: the tithe. Drawing from a powerful modern-day story and the foundational promises in Genesis, this message unpacks why giving back the "first tenth" isn't about church budgets—it's about positioning yourself to witness the faithfulness of God. It's time to stop getting baptized with your wallet in the air.

Before there was human sin, there was angelic rebellion. But how is such a thing possible? Why would God, in His infinite wisdom, create Lucifer knowing he would fall and bring chaos into creation?

This isn't just an ancient story about angels; it's a foundational truth that explains the immense importance of your own daily decisions and the incredible relationship with God that is offered to you.
