Illegal immigration.

Few issues cut through America’s moral conscience like this one. What should a Christian think when compassion collides with justice, and mercy meets law? Illegal immigration isn’t just a political issue — it’s a moral one. It’s more than policy. It's more than politics. It’s a test of conscience.

In this two-part episode, we explore the clash between compassion and conviction, and what it truly means to think biblically in a world that’s forgotten how. Together, we will dig deep beneath the headlines and politics to expose what lies at the heart of one of our nation’s most divisive questions.

When a generation inherits victory it didn’t fight for, it forgets how to fight. Drawing from Joshua 24 and Judges 2–3, we trace how Israel’s second generation lost what their fathers won—and why today’s second, third, and fourth generations are repeating it. This episode exposes the quiet collapse of second-generation faith—and why a warless Christianity cannot last. This is a call for young men to embrace battle-tested faith - a summons to grit, obedience, and the kind of devotion that bleeds. It is a plea for a generation to pick up the sword, step onto the field, and do something great for God. Will you fight?

In this follow-up episode, we drive the final nails into the coffin of Replacement Theology. Many claim the church has replaced Israel and that God’s covenant promises are now only “spiritual,” but Scripture says otherwise. We’ll walk through the last proof-texts often used to support Replacement Theology and show why they collapse under the weight of God’s Word.

Along the way, we’ll highlight the overwhelming biblical evidence that Israel and the church remain distinct in God’s plan, and that His covenants with Israel are everlasting and irrevocable. If God is faithful to Israel, He will be faithful to you. This episode isn’t just about prophecy—it’s about the character of God Himself.

Replacement Theology.

You may have heard the term—or maybe not. But what does it really mean, and why does it matter for Christians today? In this episode, we open the Scriptures and step into a centuries-old debate that still shapes pulpits, seminaries, and worldviews.

We’ll examine the key passage in Galatians 6:16, and weigh whether it truly calls the Church “the Israel of God.” We’ll contrast Christian Zionism and Replacement Theology, exploring how each frames God’s promises. You’ll hear direct quotes from supersessionist voices, past and present, and then measure their claims against the Bible itself.

We’ll also tackle the practical questions: What should a Christian’s position toward Israel be today? Should believers support the modern State of Israel? How do we distinguish between Israel as a people, as a nation, and as a government? These distinctions matter, and they shape how we pray, how we think about prophecy, and how we live faithfully in light of God’s Word.

Whether you’re brand new to the topic or have wrestled with it for years, this episode will help you think clearly, biblically, and deeply about one of the most important theological conversations of our time.

Here is another “Things I Think” episode! This episode is a completely different format than what we usually record on Sandy Creek Stirrings. In this episode, I share with you a few random thoughts that have been on my mind – some musings, some “ponderings”, some things that I have been meditating on. Like:

- The rapture prediction of "Pastor" Joshua Mhlakela,

- Why Christians aren't living every day like Jesus is worth it.

- Why unschooling ideologies are raising undisciplined children.

- Has Charlie Kirk's death brought revival to America?

- And more!

I’m not asking you to put your phone down.
I’m asking you to shut it off.
For one whole day. Every week. That’s right — shut it off. And if you can’t? Then maybe you don’t own your phone… maybe it owns you.

In this episode of Sandy Creek Stirrings, we confront the unseen grip our devices have on our time, our families, and even our spiritual lives. From stolen stillness to sleepless nights, from constant comparison to lost creativity, the phone has become the widest open path into our hearts. But there’s a radical step that can break the mold of mass communication and media and restore freedom, rest, and focus.

Discover the biblical, psychological, and practical reasons to embrace stillness—and why shutting your phone off may be the most powerful act of breaking the subconscious mind mold you can take this week .

We wonder why we don’t feel close to God as a generation.  It’s because we have let society be our father.  We have let culture be our mother.  We have let political victory be our hope.  We have let “the American Dream” be our focus.

That's why I am calling for something radical - something that will break us free from the mass molding of mass media and mass communication.

A radical philosophy.

What if the greatest danger to Christianity in America isn’t hostility from the outside, but comfort on the inside? In this episode, we step back and look at a philosophy that may sound radical at first — one that challenges everything we’ve come to think of as “normal.” What does the Bible say about embracing a life that looks different from the world around us?

Last time, I left you uncomfortable on purpose. Maybe you thought I was calling for Christians to throw out every TV, cancel every streaming service, and delete every YouTube subscription. Not quite. My goal was to shake your sense of “normal” — because when it comes to mass media, normal isn’t neutral.

This episode is about the one part of the cycle you can actually control: the path. You decide how, when, and if the world’s products make it into your home. Today, we’ll get practical: how to guard those paths, restore healthy dialogue, counteract worldly inputs, and reclaim family life from the glow of the screen.

And as we move forward, I’ll make good on my promise - I will call you to something radical.

Episode #345: The Subconscious Mind Mold - The Invisible Curriculum In The Classroom Called Home

A novel, a film, and a radio broadcast once revealed the terrifying power of influence. Decades later, their warnings still echo: the effect is real. It doesn’t shout—it whispers. And over time, it reshapes what we call normal.

Your home is being taught every single day. But the teachers may not be who you think. That leaves us with a forceful question: What if the ideas you call your own aren’t really yours? What if the voices shaping your family are louder than you realize?

This episode uncovers what we all sense but rarely stop to question. And as you press play, you’ll be challenged to pause—and carefully think.
