Are you in a season of trouble? You aren't alone. Whether God takes the danger away or takes you through it, His "standing presence" never leaves you.

Highlights of this session: Why trouble magnifies the Word of God. The difference between God working for you vs. in you. A real-life story of finding joy before a major surgery.

"Everything that happens to us in this earthly life is getting us ready for eternity."

In Revelation 16, we witness the final execution of God’s justice upon a world that has rejected Him. Join us for a "thumbnail sketch" of this heavy chapter as we discuss the transition from the Mark of the Beast to the Mark of God's Judgment. We look at the chilling reality of the scorched earth, the darkness over the throne of the Antichrist, and the final cry from the Temple: "It is done." This is the dismantling of every human institution built apart from the Lord.

The calendar changes, but God doesn’t. As we stand on the threshold of a brand-new year, many of us feel a sense of dread rather than excitement. What if nothing changes? What if I fail again?

Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley explore the collision between culture’s obsession with "New Year, New Me" and the biblical call to "Take Heart." This conversation isn't about gym memberships or organized paper calendars; it’s about the shift from fear to trust. Join us for a dose of humor, honesty, and hope as we prepare to clash with the culture of 2026.

Society says: "You are what you achieve."

The Gospel says: "You are who God loves."

The story of Emperor Norton I is more than just a historical oddity about a man who declared himself ruler of the United States. It is a masterclass in human dignity. Norton had no army, no treasury, and no real power—yet 10,000 people attended his funeral.

Why? Because he ruled through kindness and humility.

In a world obsessed with power and "logic," Norton reminds us that grace often looks foolish to the powerful, but holy to the humble. Watch as we dive into how losing a worldly identity can be the first step toward finding your true worth.

Are you going through a season of "testing"? In today’s visit to The Carpenter Shop, Jeff Dixon explores the powerful message given to the church of Smyrna in Revelation 2:10.

Learn why Jesus promises a "Crown of Life" to those who endure, and how the ancient history of Smyrna’s "Crown of Porticos" gives us a deeper understanding of our spiritual rewards. If you are facing trials today, remember: Jesus knows what you are going through, and He is working in the midst of your trouble. Expect the testing, but more importantly, expect the glory that follows.

"You are either in trouble, getting out of trouble, or you will get into trouble."

Life is a jungle, and trouble often comes looking for us. Whether you are facing financial devastation, physical sickness, or a broken relationship, this sermon provides a lifeline.

Listen as we explore 2 Timothy 4:16-18 to see how the Lord stands with us, strengthens us, and protects us even when everyone else walks away. Featuring a unique look at the life of a professional wrestler and the enduring power of God’s presence, this message will remind you that your "Engineer" will get you through the tunnel.

Is it possible for a 1973 progressive rock masterpiece to perfectly soundtrack a 1939 cinematic classic? In this episode of Conspiracy Cases, we dive into "The Dark Side of the Rainbow"—the legendary synchronization between Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz.

From the "Great Gig in the Sky" echoing Dorothy’s tornado to the haunting lyrics of "Brain Damage" playing over the Scarecrow’s song, the coincidences are staggering. Was Roger Waters hiding a secret blueprint, or is there a deeper spiritual lesson about how we find meaning in chaos?

We provide the evidence; you provide the discernment. Grab your headphones, wait for the third lion roar, and let’s go over the rainbow.

"My truth." "Your truth." "His truth." We hear these phrases every day, but have we stopped to realize how absurd they actually are? If truth is subject to opinion, it isn't truth at all.

In this session at the Carpenter Shop, we’re tackling the "absurdity" of the modern world’s view on reality. Drawing from the Gospel of John and the words of Jesus, we explore why absolute truth isn't a restriction—it’s the only thing that can actually set you free. Don't be deceived by a world of shifting sand. It’s time to bank your eternity on the Truth that never changes.

Is it possible to find a spiritual lesson in an "Elf" costume or a "Would You Rather" game? On this episode of The Clash, Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley celebrate the season by clashing tradition with a bit of holiday chaos.

While the questions start with tinsel and reindeer, the conversation leads us to a deeper reflection on the "silent night" where God whispered to the world, and the joy of the arrival of a Savior. Pull up a chair, grab a mug of cocoa, and join us for a conversation that aims to entertain, educate, and encourage your faith this Christmas.
