What do you do when the world feels like it's unraveling?

In this episode of From Kolob to Calvary, Tracy tackles one of the deepest struggles believers face in turbulent times: carrying the weight of a darkening world without being crushed by it.

Why does God allow suffering? Why are some delivered while others are martyred? Why does evil seem to prosper?

And perhaps most importantly—how do we prepare spiritually for what's ahead?

Drawing from Scripture, history, and personal testimony, Tracy explores what it means to be spiritually ready, deeply rooted, and unshaken when everything around us is shaking.

This episode will challenge you to move beyond awareness into preparation—to strengthen your roots, deepen your faith, and stand firm in the unshakable Kingdom of God.

The storm may be coming. But the remnant can be ready.

In a world that feels like it's shifting faster by the day—politically, economically, spiritually—many believers are asking the same question: Where is all of this heading?

In this episode, we step back from the noise and refocus on what truly matters: the Kingdom that cannot be shaken.

Drawing from Scripture and real-world examples, this message explores:

• Why our hope must be anchored beyond earthly systems
• The danger of being spiritually unprepared for hardship
• Why so many believers feel disconnected from God's power
• What Kingdom power actually looks like in everyday life
• How to stay awake, anchored, and spiritually alive in uncertain times

This isn't a message about fear—it's a call to clarity, endurance, and alignment with the King who is coming.

No matter what shakes around you… you don't have to be shaken within you.

In a world filled with bold voices, breaking headlines, and rising "heroes," how do we discern what is real… and what is being carefully shaped?

In this episode, we explore the growing reality of scripted deception—where appearances can be convincing, opposition can be controlled, and hope can be strategically redirected.

From political narratives to prophetic voices, many things today sound right, feel urgent, and appear to align with truth. But Scripture warns us that in the last days, deception would not come dressed in darkness—but in light.

Together, we'll walk through: • The danger of false hope attached to human figures • How controlled opposition can shape public perception • Why not every urgent voice is a trustworthy one • The difference between discernment and fear • And how the remnant can remain steady, grounded, and unshaken

This is not a call to paranoia or withdrawal—but to clarity.

Because in a world of shifting narratives, the question is not simply what is happening…

It's whether we are anchored deeply enough in truth that we won't be moved.

We're living in a time where truth is getting harder to recognize.

Technology is advancing at an incredible pace. Information is everywhere. Voices are louder than ever. And yet—clarity feels harder to find.

In this episode, we step back and ask an important question: How do we stay grounded in truth when everything around us feels uncertain?

We'll talk about:

• The rise of digital and cultural deception
• Why discernment matters now more than ever
• How to stay anchored in the Word instead of being swept up in fear
• The tension between preparing for the future and living faithfully today

This is not about fear—it's about clarity. Not about speculation—but about being rooted, steady, and spiritually awake.

If you've ever felt the tension between "something isn't right" and "how do I live normally?"—this conversation is for you.

In this powerful teaching from Remnant Rising, Tracy unpacks what it means to be refined, called, and commissioned in a time of increasing pressure and spiritual opposition.

If you've been feeling stretched, misunderstood, or quietly burdened by a sense that you're meant for something more—this message will help you reframe the pressure. You are not failing. You are being prepared.

This episode explores the reality of living as part of the remnant: why the pressure often comes first, how God uses rejection and hidden seasons to shape His people, and why courage is not optional in the days ahead.

Through biblical examples like Esther, Elisha, and the apostles—as well as real-life stories—this teaching calls believers to move beyond hesitation and into faithful obedience, even when it costs something.

You'll also learn how to discern your assignment, trust God's timing, and cultivate the kind of courage that stands firm in both public and hidden places.

This is not a call to fear—it's a call to readiness.

You were not placed in this generation by accident. You were refined for this moment. Now it's time to stand.

The world feels like it's shaking—and for many people, it is. Wars, cultural chaos, spiritual confusion, and rising pressure on believers are leaving many wondering how to stand firm.

But God has never promised His people a storm-free life. What He promises is something better: a foundation that cannot be shaken.

In this episode, Tracy explores why God allows His people to walk through the fire—and how those seasons of pressure become the very thing that forges an unshakable faith. Drawing from Scripture, personal testimony, and biblical examples like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, this teaching shows how trials refine believers rather than destroy them.

You'll also discover the four spiritual disciplines that anchor the remnant in times of shaking: prayer, the Word of God, obedience, and authentic community.

The furnace is not the end of your story. It's where God builds the kind of faith that stands when everything else collapses.

If you feel the pressure of the times we're living in, this message will remind you of a powerful truth:

You're not being destroyed.

You're being forged for the fire.

In a time of global shaking, moral confusion, and spiritual deception, many believers sense that God is calling His people to something deeper. Throughout Scripture, the Lord has always preserved a remnant—a faithful few who refuse to compromise when the pressure rises.

In this episode, Tracy explores what it means to be part of that remnant today. Drawing from biblical examples like Noah, Elijah, Gideon, Esther, and Jeremiah, she examines the patterns God uses when He calls ordinary people to stand in extraordinary times.

You'll hear how God often works through those who feel overlooked, unqualified, or outnumbered—and why the days we're living in may require believers to stand with greater conviction than ever before.

If you've ever felt a stirring in your spirit that normal Christianity isn't enough… if you sense a growing urgency to pray, speak truth, and stand firm in your faith… this message may resonate deeply.

The remnant isn't about being better than others. It's about being surrendered.

And in every generation, when the world grows darker, God calls forth a people who will not bow.

This episode begins a new teaching series based on Tracy's book Remnant Rising: Standing Unshaken in a Shaking World.

In this final session of the What Does God Want? teaching series based on the work of Michael Heiser, we bring the entire story together.

Discipleship is not a checklist of spiritual habits. It is allegiance to a risen King in a world still shaped by rebellion.

In this episode we explore what disciples actually do:

• Worship with their whole lives • Confess sin and walk in forgiveness • Study and live out God's Word • Endure suffering with loyal faith • Make more disciples in a contested world

But beneath these practices is something deeper: identity.

From the supernatural rebellion of Genesis to the cosmic victory of the cross, Scripture tells one unified story. When Jesus declared that all authority in heaven and on earth had been given to Him, it was not symbolic — it was a regime change.

Following Jesus means living as citizens of His Kingdom now.

This episode is both a recap and a commissioning: a reminder that we are not passive observers in history, but participants in God's redemptive plan.

The King is reigning. The mission continues. The call is clear.

Be found faithful.

What does a disciple actually do?

In this episode, we continue our study of Michael Heiser's What Does God Want? by exploring the everyday practices that shape believers into the likeness of Christ.

Disciples don't just believe the right things—they live differently. They care for one another like family. They pursue intentional fellowship that forms the mind of Christ. They pray—not to inform God, but to depend on Him. They fast—removing distractions so they can seek Him more fully.

These rhythms are not religious performance. They are not ways to earn God's favor. They are the steady practices that align our hearts with His Lordship and knit us together as a spiritual family.

If you've ever wondered what spiritual growth actually looks like in real life—not in theory, not in church slogans—this episode will give you a biblical and practical framework for walking faithfully with Jesus.

This is Part 1 of the final section in our series on discipleship. Next week, we'll continue with worship, confession, Scripture, suffering, and making disciples.

If the gospel is truly good news, why does it matter so much what we believe?

In this episode, we take a closer look at what the gospel actually is—and what it isn't. Many people assume Christianity is about improving behavior, following religious rules, or proving our loyalty through performance. But the gospel message is not about what we do for God—it's about what Christ has already done for us.

We explore the difference between salvation and discipleship, what it means to obey the gospel by faith, and why belief is not the same thing as understanding everything. The Bible is honest about the human condition: none of us is naturally fit for God's family, and none of us can solve the problem of sin on our own. That's why God Himself provided the solution through Jesus.

We also address a common question: if salvation is by faith alone, can someone walk away from it? Scripture offers both deep assurance and serious warning—reminding us that while salvation is secure in Christ, faith is more than a one-time decision. It is an ongoing trust and allegiance.

The gospel is not advice. It's an announcement. And it changes everything.
