Can God really use someone like me? In Episode 31 of Live Free, we kick off our At The Movies series with insights from Ford v Ferrari and Acts 4:13. Pastors Josh Howerton and Carlos Erazo are joined by Jana Howerton and Pamela Baltazar as they unpack how God uses everyday people for extraordinary purposes—not because of credentials, but because they’ve spent time with Jesus. Discover how to find your calling through affirmation, ability, and opportunity, and why faithfulness in small things matters more than you think. Whether you’re serving behind the scenes or stepping out for the first time, this episode will inspire you to say “yes” to God’s bigger plan.

Is this the end of the world? How should Christians view Israel, prophecy, and the second coming of Jesus? In this episode, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and guest theologian Paul Cunningham unpack powerful themes from Romans 11, Revelation, and 1 Corinthians. The conversation ranges from spiritual mysteries to prophecy fulfillment, including various eschatological views like preterism, premillennialism, and idealism.

What are you really building your life on?

In this powerful conversation, Pastors Mike Breaux, Carlos Erazo, and Marc McCartney close out The Rebel Way series by unpacking the final words of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7). With humor, honesty, and pastoral wisdom, they explore the difference between merely hearing Jesus’ words to actually living them out.

They discuss how spiritual growth takes practice, why storms reveal what we’re built on, and what it means to follow Jesus on the narrow path of obedience. Whether you’re facing a storm or preparing for one, this episode offers clarity, conviction, and hope—because Jesus is the only foundation that holds.

What if your deepest worries could actually lead you to peace?

In this Father’s Day episode, Pastors Mike Breaux, Carlos Erazo and Mark McCartney discuss parenting, identity, and why the words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount still hit home. From dad jokes to deep spiritual insight, they unpack how to be present with your kids, how to deal with unresolved anger, and how Jesus calls us to something deeper than behavior change—He calls us to heart change.

Whether you grew up with a godly example or are trying to break the cycle and be one, this episode is packed with wisdom, honesty, and encouragement for the journey.

We kicked off our new series, The Rebel Way, by diving deep into the Sermon on the Mount—a message that’s as radical and relevant today as it was when Jesus first preached it. Pastors Mike Breaux, Chris Kuti and Carlos Erazo unpack the Beatitudes and how this countercultural invitation leads us toward a life of freedom, purpose, and transformation. 

From personal stories of brokenness to the beauty of surrender, we explored how Jesus flips the script on what it means to be truly blessed. Whether you’re struggling with pride, searching for peace, or simply longing for a deeper relationship with God, this conversation reminds us that the narrow path is the one worth walking. As we follow Jesus upstream, we discover a faith that’s authentic, compelling, and full of grace.

What if your biggest questions about faith, culture, and the future were all connected to something ancient—yet incredibly relevant?

Join Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Tim Smith as they dive deep into the city of Corinth, uncovering its wild spiritual landscape and the surprising ways it mirrors our modern world. From the powerful symbolism of the Bema Seat to the tension between God's sovereignty and our free will, this conversation uncovers the richness of Acts 18, Paul's ministry, and the doctrine of predestination. Along the way, they explore the impact of Christian nationalism, religious liberty, and perspectives from Charlie Kirk and Texas Governor Greg Abbott—wrapped in grace, wisdom, and good humor.

This one is packed with both spiritual depth and cultural insight… because yes, there is more.

What happens when a bold faith collides with a skeptical world?  

Pastors Josh Howerton and Carlos Erazo are joined by Pamela Baltazar and Jana Howerton for a rich, laughter-filled, and truth-packed conversation centered on Acts 17 and Paul’s legendary sermon on Mars Hill. As they unpack how Paul’s approach to sharing the Gospel mirrors the challenges we face in today’s digital culture, the group explores how believers can engage the modern “Areopagus” of social media with courage and clarity. 

Along the way, they celebrate God’s faithfulness through 25,000 baptisms at Lakepointe church, highlight stories of life change, and even consider whether Joe Rogan might be inching closer to Jesus. This is a powerful conversation about legacy, revival, and using every platform to share the hope found in Christ.

Have you ever felt disillusioned by the people of God, even when you still believe in God Himself?

Pastor Josh Howerton, Jana Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Pamela Baltazar dive into a candid, thoughtful conversation around church hurt—what it is, where it stems from, and why it feels so prevalent today. From the dangers of idolizing leaders to the challenges of misunderstood mental health trends, they unpack how cultural shifts may be influencing our expectations of the church. Pamela shares heartfelt insight into honoring imperfect leadership, while Pastor Josh draws from both Scripture and personal experience to offer a healing perspective. This dialogue doesn’t shy away from hard truths but is anchored in grace, wisdom, and hope for reconciliation.

How do we move forward when we’ve been wounded by the very place meant to be a spiritual refuge? This conversation offers a place to begin.
