Ephesians 2 explains the gospel clearly: we are dead in sin, but God makes us alive in Christ. In this episode, we break down what “dead in sin” really means, why salvation is by grace alone, and how believers can live out the good works God prepared for us.

In this episode, we give a biblical response to Kirk Cameron’s defense of annihilationism (conditional immortality) the view that the wicked are destroyed and cease to exist rather than experiencing eternal conscious punishment. This is not a personal attack. Kirk Cameron seeks to defend God’s goodness, but sincerity does not determine truth, Scripture does. The real question is not what feels more loving, but what Jesus and the apostles actually taught about hell. We examine key passages such as Matthew 25:46, Matthew 10:28, and Revelation 14:11; 20:10 (NASB 95) to show why “destroy” (apollymi) does not mean annihilation and why Scripture teaches conscious, ongoing, eternal punishment. We also address church history, the seriousness of sin, and why annihilationism ultimately weakens the gospel and diminishes the cross. Key takeaway: We don’t need to rescue God from His Word. He has already spoken. Faithfulness to Scripture—not emotion or cultural pressure—must shape our doctrine. If you care about biblical theology, hell, judgment, and historic Christianity, this episode is for you. #KirkCameron #Annihilationism #Hell #ConditionalImmortality #EternalPunishment #DoctrineMatters #ReformedTheology #BiblicalTheology #ChristianPodcast #Gospel #NASB95 #EternalConsciousPunishment #ChurchHistory #ChristianTeaching

In this video, we clearly and simply explain the gospel of Jesus Christ as it is revealed in Scripture—not according to culture, tradition, or personal opinion, but according to God’s Word.

Pastors changing churches for bigger platforms, bigger buildings, and bigger paychecks is becoming far too normal. In this episode, I use the recent coaching move of Lane Kiffin to LSU as a picture of what’s happening inside the church world today.

Just like coaches jump for better opportunities, many pastors use smaller congregations as a stepping stone to get to “something bigger.” But is this faithful to the calling of Christ? Is ministry meant to be a career ladder?

In this video, we discuss:

The parallels between Lane Kiffin’s move and pastoral ambition

Why a pastor’s calling is fundamentally different from a coach’s career

The danger of platform-driven ministry

What Scripture actually says about shepherding God’s people

How churches can guard against treating the pastorate like a business

If you care about the health of Christ’s church, the integrity of pastoral ministry, and the importance of biblical shepherding, this episode is for you.

Is listening to secular music a sin?

Is it worldly… or is it Christian liberty?

Most believers have wrestled with this question—and most answers online are either too legalistic or too careless.

In this episode, we give a clear, balanced, Scripture-driven answer to one of the most debated topics in modern Christianity:

Can Christians listen to secular music without sinning?

We walk carefully through:

Christian freedom vs. Christian responsibility

Why the heart matters more than the genre

How to apply biblical discernment before you hit play

The difference between corporate worship music and everyday listening

How music can either fuel sanctification or feed the flesh

When something lawful becomes spiritually dangerous

Using Scripture as our filter—including 1 Corinthians 10, Philippians 4, and Hebrews 12—we show how believers should evaluate music by:

Purity

Conscience

Spiritual effect

God’s glory

You’ll learn:

Why the Bible doesn’t ban genres—but does demand holiness

How Christian liberty can quietly turn into compromise

Why some “Christian” music can be worldly

Why some secular music can be morally neutral

How to know when music has become a stumbling block

Bottom-Line Answer:

Yes—Christians can listen to secular music.

But not all music is profitable, and not all freedom is wise.

Your freedom is real.

Your discernment must be just as real.

If you care about:

Living without legalism

Guarding your heart

Walking in holiness

And honoring Christ in everyday life

Are Skillet and their version of “O Come O Come Emmanuel” demonic? Some Christians think so—and honestly, we’ve got bigger problems.

In this episode, I talk about why believers often argue over the wrong things, how Christian liberty applies to the music we listen to, and why reverence in a corporate worship service is not the same thing as listening to a song in your truck on the way to work.

This isn’t about defending irreverence or lowering holiness—reverence matters. But so does unity, charity, and keeping the main thing the main thing.

We cover:

• Why Christians fight over secondary issues

• The difference between worship music in church vs personal listening

• How to exercise liberty without causing division

• Why attacking other believers over preference misses the point
