Say Something Holy - Ep. 5: Hope is NOT Dead!

Most people aren’t hopeless in a dramatic way — they’re just quietly drained. Still functioning. Still showing up. Still smiling on cue. But underneath it all, hope keeps leaking, and instead of fixing the leak, we keep refilling it with distractions.

In this opening sermon of Say Something Holy, we talk about the difference between real, biblical hope and the kind of wishful thinking we’ve all learned to dress up as positivity. This isn’t a hype message. It’s an honest look at where we actually place our trust when pressure hits, control slips, and waiting gets uncomfortable.

Drawing from Romans 5, Hebrews, Jeremiah, Peter, and the reality of the resurrection, this message walks through why hope doesn’t come from relief, comfort, or things going your way — it’s forged under pressure and anchored in Christ. Not optimism. Not distraction. Not hustle. An anchor.

If you’ve ever believed the right things but noticed your default response is still anxiety, control, or numbing… this one will hit close to home.

How Should Christians React to Minnesota?

What happened in Minnesota isn’t just political noise — it’s a moral stress test for Christians in America.

In this video, we tackle the question many believers are avoiding:

👉 Do Christians stay quiet to keep the peace — or speak up when truth is on the line?

Minnesota has become a flashpoint for law enforcement, federal authority, illegal activity, and public resistance — and Christians are caught in the middle. This episode confronts the idea that silence equals virtue and challenges the dangerous belief that obedience to God means passivity in the face of wrongdoing.

We break down:

• How Christians should respond when federal law is openly obstructed
• The difference between biblical compassion and moral cowardice
• Why intent matters — and why “they shouldn’t have been there in the first place” is a crucial part of this conversation
• What Scripture actually says about authority, justice, and standing for what’s right
• Why fear of backlash, jobs, friends, or culture is silencing believers — and why that’s a problem

This isn’t about politics.

It’s about truth, courage, and Christian responsibility in a culture that pressures believers to stay quiet.

⚠️ If you think Christians should never speak out — this video will challenge you.

⚠️ If you think faith belongs only in private — this video will confront that lie.

⚠️ If you’re tired of watered-down Christianity — this one’s for you.

Say Something: WHEN TEMPTATION COMES

– Ep. 3

#SaySomething #christianity #Jesus

Why does temptation feel stronger when you finally decide to obey?

Many Christians assume spiritual maturity should make life easier — calmer, clearer, less pressured. But Scripture teaches the opposite. Temptation doesn’t disappear as you grow closer to God; it becomes more focused, more strategic, and more personal.

When obedience gets serious, resistance escalates.

Temptation doesn’t usually arrive as blatant rebellion. It comes as urgency. Justification. “Just this once.” A shortcut that feels reasonable. A compromise that feels necessary. And that’s exactly why it’s so dangerous.

In this episode of Say Something Holy, Mike Mac breaks down why temptation follows obedience, why compromise never stays contained, and why delayed obedience quietly trains the heart toward surrender instead of holiness.

This episode covers:

• Why temptation intensifies when obedience begins

• How Jesus’ wilderness temptation exposes Satan’s strategy

• Why “just this once” is spiritually lethal

• The difference between struggling and practicing sin

• Why grace trains restraint — not permission

• How delayed repentance reshapes conscience

• Why holiness is built in moments of refusal

This is Bible, conviction, and truth — spoken plainly.

Can a human Messiah actually fix the world?

Judaism looks for a Messiah who will restore Israel, bring peace on earth, enforce justice, and lead people into obedience. But those expectations require eternal results from a mortal man — and that’s the contradiction.

Peace isn’t measurable.

Justice isn’t universal.

Obedience can’t reach the heart.

In this episode of Say Something Holy, Mike Mac explains why the Old Testament itself points beyond a purely human Messiah — and why only God Himself can accomplish what salvation actually requires.

This episode covers:

• Why a human Messiah cannot deliver eternal justice

• How the Old Testament points to a divine Messiah

• Why law and obedience cannot save from sin

• How Jesus fulfills the Law and the Prophets

This is Bible, logic, and truth — spoken plainly.

‘The Tongue with a Touchscreen’ confronts one of the most ignored sins in modern Christianity—reckless words. From James 3 to today’s comment sections, this episode exposes how gossip, implication, outrage, and “just asking questions” speech reveal the heart and destroy witness. Convicting, urgent, and gospel-centered, this message calls Christians to repentance, holiness, and Spirit-controlled speech in a loud, divided world.
