  • Release It // Cheat Code // Ryan Kramer
    We finished the fast, and now we finish the series. In this final and most challenging message of the "Cheat Code" series, Pastor Ryan tackles the Christian F-word: forgiveness. Using Paul's letter to the Ephesians and his own powerful testimony, this teaching reveals why some people can go from tragic pasts to inspiring futures—and why others stay stuck. From understanding how footholds give the enemy a base of operations in your life to discovering the four steps to releasing the past (decide don't feel, go first, name the debt, release it to God)—this message is raw, honest, and transformative. If you've been carrying the weight of unforgiveness, bitterness, or anger, this message will show you how to release your past so your past can release you. Their hardship doesn't have to destroy your life, but it will quietly ruin it. At some point, you have to decide: will your past remind you or define you?
    *Scripture:* Ephesians 4:26-32
    *Big Idea:* We have to release the past so that our past can release us. Forgiveness doesn't let them off the hook—it allows you to take back control of your future. Your past will remind you, but it doesn't have to define you.
    *Key Quote:* "You have to release the past so that your past can release you. Forgiveness is a decision: you don't owe me anymore."
    ⸻
    *Key Topics:*
    How people go from tragic pasts to inspiring futures
    The Circle of Blame: owning our part vs. dealing with their part
    Ephesians 4:26 - In your anger, do not sin
    How many sunsets will you hold on to anger?
    Don't give the devil a foothold (base of operations)
    Signs of a foothold: react vs. respond, rehearse conversations, protect before trust
    Forgiveness is not a feeling—it's a decision
    Four steps: Decide don't feel, Go first, Name the debt, Release it to God
    Forgiveness isn't bolt cutters—it's a pry bar (you'll do it more than once)
    Pastor Ryan's testimony: from pain to purpose

  • Tests for the Reliability of Ancient Literature - Part 3 by Dr. Joe L. Mott on Feb. 2, 2026
    References:
    (1) “Misquoting Jesus”  by Bart Ehrman.
    (2) “Jesus Interrupted” by Bart Ehrman.
    (3) The main character of “Everybody Loves Raymond” would say to critics like Ehrman: “Bull-loney.” What I reported about the biographical test blows Ehrman’s comments out of the water.
    (4) Like the serpent in the Garden of Eden, Ehrman doesn’t have a leg to stand on.
    (5) We have all heard other critics, like Ehrman, say, “The Bible is full of errors and contradictions.” That accusation is one of the STANDARD MISCONCEPTIONS of our time. Repeating it has almost become a SOCIAL OBLIGATION.
    (6) Most Bible critics are not interested in a rational conversation regarding the Bible. They don’t emotionally LIKE the Bible, so they CHOOSE not to believe it. The Bible denier is generally SATISFIED with any claim that happens to REINFORCE their PRECONCEIVED UNINFORMED CHOICE. Such criticism is based on HEARSAY and FAULTY REASONING contributing to an erroneous interpretation.
    (7) It is always helpful to define any relevant TERMS at the outset of any discussion with skeptics. Here we need to define the concept of a CONTRADICTION. Two statements are said to be contradictory when one statement ASSERTS what the other DENIES.
    (8) Keeping the Faith in an Age of Reason by Jason Lisle.
    (9) There is no contradiction in the claim “Bear one another’s burdens” (Gal. 6:2) in the sense of helping those in trouble, and “bear his own burden” (Gal. 6:5) in the sense of taking responsibility for your own obligations.
    (10) What is called a compatible difference is not a contradiction. There is no contradiction between the claim “the car is fast” and the claim “the car is red.” The Gospel writers each chose to record different details of what they observed, but the differences are COMPATIBLE with each other and thus not contradictory. So when Matthew states that Joseph of Arimathea buried Jesus does not contradict John’s statement that Joseph and Nicodemus buried Jesus. Both statements are true, even though they are different. If Matthew had stated that ONLY Joseph buried BY HIMSELF,  then we would have a contradiction. But that is not what was stated.

  • The Fear of the Lord Is Righteousness by Servant Marcia Carty on Feb. 2, 2026
    In this powerful message, Servant Marcia Carty explores the biblical and extra-biblical accounts of the days of Noah to warn modern believers about the dangers of rebellion. By connecting the wisdom of Proverbs to the historical accounts in Genesis and the Book of Enoch, she illustrates how the "fear of the Lord" serves as the essential foundation for spiritual survival. The teaching delves into the fallen state of the Watchers—celestial beings who abandoned their post—and how their descent into perversion mirrors the current state of our world.
    --
    The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all knowledge and the only safeguard against the enticements of those who "lurk privately for the innocent."
    --
    The history of the Watchers and the Grigori shows how even spiritual beings can fall into perversion when they deviate from God’s divine principles.
    --
    The Nephilim and the "spirits of the giants" explain the origins of unclean spirits and the corruption that led to the Great Flood.
    --
    Like Nebuchadnezzar, many today fall into the trap of pride, forgetting that the Most High has sovereignty over the kingdoms of mortals.
    --
    Abraham’s petition for Sodom and Gomorrah proves that God is willing to spare much for the sake of a few righteous individuals.
    --
    The ultimate goal for the believer is to remain focused and strive to be among "the elect" as the world grows increasingly wicked.

  • Sean Cain and Ernie Garcia: Two Men of God Talk About Their Journey
    The world often tells us that our past defines us. We are told that our mistakes are permanent tattoos on our identity and that some holes are simply too deep to climb out of. However, in a recent sit-down with Frank Agee and Bobbie Agee on This is Your Life, two men—Sean Cain and Ernie Garcia—shared testimonies that stand as a defiant roar against that worldly logic. Their stories remind us that the Gospel isn't just a philosophy; it is a rescue mission.
    Sean Cain didn’t grow up in a "model" home. By his own admission, he spent his life running from God, selling drugs, and living in a cycle of addiction and anger. The breaking point came on a dark night when Sean sat in his living room with a shotgun, methodically planning to murder a house full of people who had robbed him. In that moment of cold calculation, something unexplainable stopped him. "Suddenly something came over me," Sean recalled. "I just couldn't do it."
    That divine hesitation led Sean to a muddy field in the rain, where he surrendered to a God he didn't yet know. Later, while sitting in a church pew—still so filled with his old nature that he wanted to pick a fight with the drummer—Sean asked God for one thing: "Show me what love is." The response was a supernatural vision of light and the presence of Jesus that eradicated twenty-four years of depression in three seconds. Today, Sean travels the world in evangelism, from the Navajo reservations to the Congo, proving that "it gets to be Jesus" who carries our burdens.
    The theme of radical transformation continued with Ernie Garcia, a man who describes himself as an "enigma" pastoring a church of "misfits." As the leader of the Tallahassee Biker Church, Ernie sees the power of God manifested in the most unlikely places. His congregation features everyone from Hells Angels to lawyers, sitting side-by-side as brothers in Christ.
    Ernie’s faith was forged in the fire of personal tragedy. After losing his wife of twenty-five years to cancer, he leaned into her final words: "Don't give up. Don't quit." Now, he leads a ministry that provides nearly 100,000 meals a year to the community and witnesses miraculous healings that baffle medical professionals. His secret? "Don’t pray your problems, prophesy your solutions," Ernie says. He lives by the conviction that if the God of the universe has cast our sins into the sea of forgetfulness, we have no right to fish them back out.
    Both Sean and Ernie serve as a living testament to the fact that the Gospel is not outdated. Whether it is stopping a violent crime or healing a broken heart, the message remains the same: God is love, and His table is long enough for everyone—especially the misfits.

  • Night to Shine Tallahassee 2026 - Interview With Director Liz Crawford - Jan. 30, 2026
    In the hustle and bustle of event planning, it is easy to get lost in the logistics of venues, catering, and schedules. But for Liz Crawford, the director of Tallahassee’s Night to Shine, every detail serves a singular, divine purpose: making the special needs community feel like the most important people on the face of the earth.
    Night to Shine, an initiative launched by the Tim Tebow Foundation twelve years ago, has grown into a global phenomenon. In Tallahassee, it has become one of the largest proms in the country. Hosted at Immanuel Baptist Church, the event is a masterclass in Christian hospitality, featuring everything from petting zoos and karaoke to the hallmark moment where every guest is crowned a King or Queen.
    "God puts you in a place when He feels like that's what He wants you to do," Liz says, reflecting on her journey from a business sponsor to the director of the event. Her passion for this community isn't limited to a one-night event; it carries over into her business, SportClips. In an industry where some might find it "inconvenient" to serve those with physical or intellectual needs, Liz trains her staff to provide "haircuts with heart," even if it means cutting hair while sitting on the floor to make a guest feel comfortable.
    The upcoming prom on February 13th is expected to host 1,200 guests, bringing the total attendance to nearly 2,000 people. This massive undertaking requires a specific kind of hero: the "Buddy." A Buddy is a volunteer who stays by a guest's side for the entire night, ensuring they are safe, celebrated, and never alone.
    Currently, the organization is seeking 140 additional volunteers to fill these roles. For those looking to put their faith into action, it is a tangible opportunity to reflect the love of Christ to an underserved community. As Liz notes, the goal is simple yet profound—to ensure that for one night, these guests know exactly how much they are valued by their community and their Creator.
