Live Free with Josh Howerton

In this LIVE FREE special episode, Pastor Josh responds to a recent clip featuring Kirk Cameron and his son James discussing annihilationism (the belief that the wicked ultimately cease to exist rather than experience eternal conscious punishment). With pastoral clarity and biblical conviction, this episode walks through what Scripture actually teaches about hell, God’s justice, and why Christian doctrine cannot be reshaped by emotion or cultural pressure. This isn’t an attack, but a thoughtful, Scripture-centric examination of one of the more complex doctrines in the Bible, and why getting it right matters more than we think.

In this Christmas episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Paul Cunningham, and Carlos Erazo explore the growing interest in the Book of Enoch, angelology, and viral claims that the Bible was “altered” or banned. They walk through the history of the biblical canon, explaining why Jude’s reference to Enoch doesn’t validate the entire book. They dive into the perspective that has gained attention on platforms like Joe Rogan’s podcast to bring clarity to Christians. This episode calls believers to trust God’s Word, resist fear-driven speculation, and focus on the truth & authority already revealed in Scripture.

In this timely episode, Pastors Josh Howerton, Paul Cunningham, and Carlos Erazo tackle why so many young men feel lost today: from loneliness and fatherlessness to the pull of online influencers. From confronting Nick Fuentes's distorted worldview to unpacking how isolation and the shaming of masculinity have created the “Lone Ranger Christian”. They offer a clear, biblical path back to community, discipleship, and godly relationships. This conversation challenges men to evaluate the voices shaping them and to pursue wisdom, truth, and accountability.

In this eye‑opening episode, Pastors Josh Howerton, Paul Cunningham, and Carlos Erazo explore one of today’s fastest‑growing cultural questions: Are aliens actually demons? Drawing from Scripture, historical patterns, global sightings, and reacting to JD Vance's personal take on UFOs, they unpack the surprising parallels between reported alien encounters and biblical descriptions of spiritual warfare. From deceptive “messengers” to experiences that stop at the name of Jesus, this conversation shines a biblical light on the unseen realm and invites believers to see the world with renewed spiritual clarity.

From Felix’s delayed obedience in Acts 24 to the dangers of compassion untethered from truth, this episode challenges Christians to think biblically, engage culture courageously, and live faithfully today.
