In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most important questions every believer faces: 

How do we deal with temptation?
Where does temptation really come from?
Does God tempt us, or does He simply allow us to be tempted?
What should you do when you feel the pull of temptation?

We unpack these questions by studying James 1 and looking at powerful supporting scriptures like 1 Corinthians 10:13, which promises that God always provides a way of escape.

Whether you’re battling daily struggles or just want to be better equipped for spiritual warfare, this conversation will give you biblical truth, encouragement, and practical steps to overcome.

In this episode, we dive deep into the reality of Satan and spiritual warfare. Do Christians really need to rebuke Satan—or should we focus our energy elsewhere? What temptations are we called to endure versus those we must resist and rebuke? Should believers show respect to the devil and other angelic beings? And most importantly, what role do obedience, prayer, and fasting play in gaining strength and authority over demons?

We tackle these questions head-on with biblical clarity and practical application, helping you discern the truth and walk in victory.

👉 Topics we cover:
Do we need to rebuke Satan?
Which temptations to endure vs. rebuke
Should we respect the devil or fallen angels?
The role of obedience in spiritual warfare
Why prayer and fasting matter in defeating demons
How to grow stronger in Christ against the enemy

In this episode of the podcast, we dive deep into some of the most important—and misunderstood—topics in the Bible:

Why would a loving God make hell?
What does hell say about God’s justice and goodness?
What does the Bible say about how a person actually goes to heaven?

We look at Scripture to explain why hell is important for God’s holiness and justice, and why it’s actually good news that God has a place of judgment for sin. Then we finish with the gospel message—the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Salvation is not about trying harder or being “good enough.” The Bible says we are saved through repentance and faith in Jesus—turning from sin and trusting in Him alone for forgiveness and eternal life.

If you’ve ever wondered about heaven, hell, or what it really means to be saved, this teaching is for you.

Many Christians struggle with feeling stuck in their walk with God—going through the motions but not experiencing true growth. In this episode, we dive deep into the difference between belief and faith:

Understanding how belief and faith work together is key to breaking free from the habits, doubts, and setbacks that hold you back. We’ll explore:

✅ Why some people have belief but aren’t truly saved
✅ How faith grows when belief moves into action
✅ The biblical difference between knowing truth vs. living truth
✅ Practical steps to strengthen both belief in your heart and faith in your life

So many Christians quote “Do not judge” — but few understand what Jesus actually meant. In this episode, we dive deep into Matthew 7 to clear up one of the most misunderstood teachings in the Bible.

Jesus never said we can’t make judgments — He said we must judge righteously. Later in Matthew 7, He tells us to examine the fruit of a person’s life to discern whether they are truly a believer.
In this teaching, we break down:
🍎 What Jesus meant by “Do not judge” in context
🍎 Why every Christian must judge rightly to avoid deception
🍎 How to identify a true believer vs. a false convert
🍎 What spiritual fruit actually looks like in daily life

Understanding this truth will help you avoid false teaching, build stronger discernment, and grow in spiritual maturity.

👉 If you’ve ever wondered how to tell who’s really walking with God, this episode will give you the biblical clarity you need.
