Too many people confuse repentance with just feeling bad or saying sorry. But real repentance goes far deeper—and without action, your words mean nothing. In this must-hear episode, we break down what biblical repentance really is, what it’s not, and why asking for forgiveness is worthless if your life doesn’t change.

We also answer a critical listener question:
👉 If salvation is a free gift, is it still conditional?
👉 Do works cancel out grace? Or are they part of how we live out our faith?

🔥 This is one of the most important messages for every believer today. Don’t just watch—share this with friends and family who need to hear the truth about repentance and salvation. Let’s stop playing church and start living transformed lives.

Is Your Church Biblical? | What Most Misunderstand About Church - Valiant Podcast #11

In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most misunderstood topics in the Bible — the roles of men and women in the home and in the church.

📖 Scriptures Covered:

Genesis 2–3: God’s design from the beginning
1 Corinthians 11: Headship, honor, and spiritual order
1 Timothy 2–3: What Paul really meant about women not teaching

We clear up the confusion surrounding verses about submission and authority, showing how God's roles for men and women are not oppressive — they’re purposeful. You’ll learn how biblical submission is strength, not weakness, and why God calls men to work hard and lead with humility and sacrifice.

✅ Key Takeaways:

What biblical submission really means (and what it doesn’t)
Why Paul’s words in 1 Timothy 2 were never meant to devalue women
How men and women complement each other when walking in their God-given roles
The powerful why behind God's design — and how it blesses families, churches, and society.

👉 Whether you’ve struggled with these verses or simply want clarity, this episode will equip you to stand confidently on Scripture and live out God’s design with wisdom.

Women Shouldn't Teach? Biblical Gender Roles Explained - Valiant Podcast #12

In this episode, we dive deeper into biblical gender roles, continuing the conversation from last week where we focused on women in the church. This time, we shift the spotlight to men and their responsibility to work, provide, and lead—and how much they should be working according to Scripture.

We also unpack the God-ordained calling for women to bear children and manage the home, and why this isn't just cultural—it’s spiritual. We show how these roles are deeply tied to salvation, obedience, and a faithful relationship with God (1 Timothy 2:15, Titus 2:4–5).

Jonathan shares a powerful testimony of how having a child saved his wife, spiritually and emotionally, and why true worship and discipleship start in the home.

💥 Key takeaway: If you can’t master the home, you shouldn’t be trying to lead or teach others.

Biblical Gender Roles Part 2: Work, Kids, and Marriage - Valiant Podcast #13

Predestination & Free Will – Can Both Be True?

In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most challenging and debated topics in the Bible: predestination. Did God choose us before the foundation of the world? Yes. Do we still have free will to choose life or death? Also yes. So how do these truths work together?

We explore how God’s sovereignty and human responsibility are not in conflict, but rather two sides of the same coin. Predestination is not meant to confuse or paralyze us—it’s meant to bring us peace, knowing that God’s will is always right.

At the end of the day, Scripture calls us not to obsess over eternity, but to make the right choices today. Our focus should be simple: follow Christ, obey His Word, and trust Him with the outcome.

🔔 Whether you're wrestling with theology, looking to deepen your faith, or just want clarity on what the Bible teaches, this conversation will help you understand the balance between God's plan and your choices.
