The Authentic Christian

Every athlete dreams of making it to the highest level.

Jordan Evans lived that dream.

After starring at the University of Oklahoma, Jordan played five seasons in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals. But as he shares in this episode, football was never meant to define who he was.

In this powerful conversation, Jordan opens up about the pressures of college football, life in the NFL, injuries, disappointment, identity, and the lessons God taught him through every season.

Whether you're an athlete, a parent, a coach, or simply someone trying to keep Christ first in a world full of distractions, this episode is a reminder that your greatest identity is never found in success—it is found in Christ.

What does biblical fellowship really look like?

In this episode of The Authentic Christian Podcast, Aaron, Brandon, and Epifanio discuss why God never intended Christians to walk alone. Fellowship is more than seeing each other at worship—it’s sharing life, bearing burdens, encouraging one another, and growing together in Christ.

Be the church. Don’t just attend services.

What happens when Christianity starts to feel like you’re just going through the motions?

We can attend worship, read our Bibles, serve others, evangelize, and do all the “right” things—but if we lose sight of why we’re doing them, our faith can slowly become a checklist instead of a relationship rooted in love and gratitude.

In this episode of The Authentic Christian Podcast, Aaron, Brandon, and Epifanio discuss what it means to develop a heart of gratitude toward God and how remembering what Christ has done for us should transform the way we live.

Through powerful passages including the woman who anointed Jesus’ feet in Luke 7, the ten lepers in Luke 17, and other biblical examples, we’re reminded that obedience isn’t about asking, “What’s the least I have to do?”

Instead, genuine gratitude asks, “After everything God has done for me, what am I willing to give Him?”

The Trinity is one of Christianity's most discussed—and often misunderstood—doctrines. Does the Bible actually teach it? Join us as we trace this foundational truth throughout Scripture and discover how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are revealed from Genesis to Revelation.

What place should tradition have in determining what Christians believe? This episode examines the difference between apostolic teaching recorded in Scripture and traditions that developed later in church history. We also consider how Jesus responded when religious traditions went beyond or replaced God’s Word. Watch as we ask whether Scripture alone is enough or whether sacred tradition should carry equal authority.

What is Sola Scriptura? Is the Bible alone the Christian's final authority, or does God expect believers to rely on additional sources of divine authority?

In this episode, Aaron, Reagan, and Warner examine the biblical case for Scripture as the only infallible rule of faith for the church today.

Join us as we explore what the Bible teaches about authority, tradition, and testing every teaching by God's Word.

Can the Bible really provide everything a person needs to know to become a Christian and faithfully serve God?

In this episode, we examine the biblical doctrine of material sufficiency—the teaching that God has revealed everything necessary for faith, salvation, and faithful living within the pages of Scripture.

Most importantly, we'll ask a simple question: If God wanted people to be saved... wouldn't He give them everything they need?

Join us as we open God's Word and examine whether Scripture is truly sufficient to guide us to salvation and equip us for every good work.

Can ordinary people understand the Bible for themselves, or do they need a church, creed, or religious authority to explain it?

In this episode of The Authentic Christian Podcast, Aaron, Reagan, and Warner join again to examine the biblical doctrine of the clarity and sufficiency of Scripture. Together, they explore whether God intended His Word to be understood and what that means for every believer seeking truth.

As Season 6 comes to a close, Aaron and Jeremy tackle a question Christians ask all the time: Can believers watch shows like The Chosen, House of David, or other creative biblical media?

In this thoughtful and balanced conversation, they walk through fundamental biblical principles—discernment, devotion to Scripture, influence, conscience, and more—helping Christians think clearly about entertainment and faith.

Instead of simple “yes or no” answers, this episode gives you a framework for approaching anything culture puts in front of you. A strong, meaningful finish to an incredible season.
