Are Jewish people who don’t believe in Jesus still saved, and what does the Bible really say about Israel, stewardship, and the end times?

In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham tackle one of the most misunderstood theological questions in Christianity today. Walking through Luke 19 and Romans 9–11, the conversation addresses salvation, ethnicity, faith, and God’s ongoing plan for Israel, cutting through sentimentality, political pressure, and internet half-truths with clear biblical reasoning. The episode also breaks down Jesus’ teaching on stewardship, rewards, money, and faithfulness.

In the second half, we’re joined by Allie Beth Stuckey, host of Relatable, to discuss why Hillary Clinton recently published a hit piece targeting her, and what it reveals about power, truth, and cultural intimidation when Christian convictions refuse to bend.

Stand firm. Think biblically. Live free.

Does the Bible shape how you feel about culture, or how you see culture?

In this LIVE FREE special reaction episode, Pastor Josh reacts to the GRAMMYs, Billie Eilish’s “No one is illegal on stolen land” moment and Jelly Roll’s bold, Jesus-centered acceptance speech, and uses Scripture to show the difference between using the Bible as a mirror and as a lens (James 1) for evaluating what’s happening in the world. You’ll also hear a clear contrast between performative courage that wins applause and real courage that risks something, plus why Romans 1 explains a culture that celebrates lawlessness while calling biblical conviction “hate.”

Are Christians being manipulated by propaganda, and do most believers even realize it?

In this episode, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, Paul Cunningham confront the rise of viral propaganda, emotional manipulation, and misinformation surrounding ICE and cultural outrage, calling Christians to think biblically rather than react emotionally; from there, the conversation moves to Mark 10, where Jesus radically redefines greatness, power, and authority through service and sacrifice, before closing with a clear, no-spin theological examination of Mormonism, addressing whether it aligns with biblical Christianity and why Scripture repeatedly warns against “another Jesus” and “another gospel.”

Are Christians forbidden from engaging in politics, or is Scripture being selectively weaponized to keep believers silent?

Most Christians were never taught this. 

Jesus didn’t choose soft, passive men, He chose fishermen, zealots, and bold disciples who would change the world. In this episode, we uncover facts about the disciples most Christians don’t know, confront false gospels like Mormonism, respond to anti-ICE church propaganda and protests disrupting worship, and explain why brotherhood, not isolation, is essential to following Jesus. If you’ve wrestled with doubt, cultural Christianity, or how to stand firm without compromise, this episode will challenge you to think biblically, live courageously, and refuse deception.

Does the Bible really stay silent on abortion and “consensual” same-sex relationships, or are we watching Scripture get twisted in real time?

Which Bible translation should you actually trust, and are there some translations you should avoid altogether? 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Pastor Josh and Jana Howerton help you read the Bible with confidence, confront temptation with clarity, and see Scripture as one unified story, rather than a collection of disconnected verses.

Watch to the end; this will sharpen how you read the Bible and live it out.

In this LIVE FREE Episode, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham tackle two topics Christians are deeply confused about right now: baptism and the Minneapolis ICE shooting. They unpack how biblical discipleship shapes both belief and discernment. This episode will answer frequently "shouted" baptism questions: (Does baptism save you? Should you be re-baptized? What about infant baptism?), and explain what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit. If you feel confused by culture's manufactured outrage and selective footage distorting the ICE shooting narrative, this episode will equip you to reflect before reacting, submit to God-ordained authority, and respond with wisdom instead of emotional manipulation.

Why are Venezuelans celebrating the collapse of socialism while American leaders are selling it as “compassion”? 

In this Live Free episode, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham pull the curtain back on Mamdani’s “warmth of collectivism,” to expose the real-world cost of a socialist ideology. They contrast empty political promises with the only freedom that actually delivers, Jesus’ declaration from the cross, “It IS finished.” This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about power, control, false hope, and why Christians must think biblically when culture reframes broken ideas as virtue.

Is Jesus “progressive,” or is that a modern political remix of an ancient faith? In this LIVE FREE Bonus Episode, Pastor Josh Howerton respond to a viral Daily Show clip and unpack how Scripture is often twisted in election seasons to serve ideologies rather than truth. He breaks down progressive Christianity, expose common misuses of Matthew 25 and Romans 13, clarify the biblical roles of the family, church, and state, and explain why Christian compassion and government authority are not the same thing.
