My friend is a preterist. What is that? Should I be worried? Your nation came close to civil war this past year, right? What is a healthy view of Mary, the mother of Jesus? Why does John 8:31 say "continue" if we can't lose our salvation? How can I have childlike faith?
This week on the Mike & Tricia Podcast, we sit down with award-winning Christian author Allen Brokken to talk about his bestselling middle-grade fantasy series, Light of Mine, part of the popular Towers of Light Christian adventure books for kids.
In this powerful Christian fantasy story for middle readers, siblings Lauren (12), Aiden (9), and Ethan (5) are left alone on their family farm after their parents mysteriously disappear. When the children discover the Armor of God, they realize that protecting the Tower of Light may be the only way to bring their parents home—and stop the encroaching darkness threatening their community.
As strange visitors arrive, a hooded figure trespasses on the farm, and a new bishop takes over the church, the children must learn to tell friend from foe. Armed with three holy weapons, the help of faithful blessed pets, and their growing trust in God, they stand against the Dark One’s forces in a battle between light and darkness.
Perfect for fans of Little House on the Prairie, classic family-centered adventures, and faith-based fantasy stories, Light of Mine blends Christian values, action, and heartwarming sibling relationships in a way that resonates with readers of all ages.

What does the Kingdom of God look like? Jesus said it looks like giving a cup of cold water in His name. In this message recorded at Charity: Water's Experience Lab in Franklin, Tennessee, Pastor Levi sits down with founder Scott Harrison to discuss one of the most tangible expressions of the Gospel—bringing clean water to people who don't have it. Since 2018, Fresh Life has partnered to bring water to 17 communities (and counting)!

Sermon Overview
Scripture Passage: Ephesians 1:15-2:6
As Christians, most of us can accept that Jesus Christ is King and He has authority. However, some of us fail to grasp that He has given that kingdom authority to His servants.
Ephesians 1:22-23 says, “And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”
We’re in a spiritual battle, up against the organized, mobilized, and demonized powers of Hell. Therefore, we must understand what kingdom authority is in order to utilize it.
First, kingdom authority over all God's creation was gloriously given to Adam.
God made us to have dominion; it is the very reason we were created.
Second, that kingdom authority was legally lost by Adam.
When tempted by the devil, Adam and Eve failed to use the kingdom authority that God had given to them, and therefore, they became slaves of Satan.
Third, kingdom authority has been righteously regained by Jesus Christ.
Adrian Rogers says, “God owes Satan nothing, but God owes everything to His own justice and His own holiness; Jesus Christ came to this Earth as the second Adam, to gain back what the first Adam lost.”
Kingdom authority was lost by a man, and it was legally regained by a man: “For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive” (1 Corinthians 15:21-22).
Adrian Rogers says, “Jesus died that we might have spiritual authority, not to do what we want, but authority to do what He wishes.”
Until you are under the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, His Word, and the things God has set over you, you will never live with authority.
The devil hopes that you will not understand the incredible power we’ve been given; that he can keep you in the dark. If we ever utilize kingdom authority, all of Heaven will break loose.
Apply it to your life
If you are struggling to claim your kingdom authority, remember: the same weapons that belonged to Adam in the Garden of Eden were the weapons that Jesus Christ used in the wilderness. Spend some time in Scripture, saturating your life in the Word and in the Spirit of God, that you may understand your kingdom authority.
Sometimes we can drift so far from God that it feels like He’s left us altogether. But Dr. Tony Evans explains that even when we’ve lost our strength, our sight, or our way, it’s never too late to turn back to the Lord. This powerful lesson from the life of Samson reminds us that God’s mercy is always within reach.
In the Back Row Believers season 2 finale, Brit and Scott discuss the impact of the faith and behaviors of others have on our faith. Both in good and bad ways, the people we choose and the people we are placed with have an impact in who we become.
