What listeners will find here
Grace, surrender, and the death penalty: a hard conversation on following Jesus
This episode tackles two weighty questions: what it means to die to yourself as a follower of Jesus, and whether Christians can support the death penalty. Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, Paul Cunningham, and guest David Nasser explore grace, spiritual formation, and the tension between justice, mercy, and human life.
When politics borrows Jesus: Josh Howerton on discernment and allegiance
This episode tackles the use of Jesus and Scripture to advance political agendas. Josh Howerton responds to James Talarico’s Jimmy Kimmel appearance and argues that Christians need discernment, a full-scripture framework, and allegiance to Christ above any party or movement.
Spiritual warfare without fear, plus a practical push toward revival and evangelism
Spiritual warfare is the focus here, with Pastor Carlos and Jonathan Pokluda talking through deception, temptation, occult practices, and what it means to give the enemy a foothold. The episode then turns toward revival, spiritual hunger, and a simple way to start gospel conversations with confidence.
What makes a church healthy—and when is it time to walk away?
This episode tackles how to recognize a healthy church, love people without compromising conviction, and respond to hard questions about marriage, sin, and faith. Josh Howerton, Ed Newton, and Matt Chewning frame it as an honest pastoral conversation about real-life discipleship.
Pastors tackle false teaching, ‘itching ears,’ and why the gospel still stands at the center
2 Timothy 4 drives this episode as Pastors Josh, Carlos, and Paul examine Paul’s final warning about rejecting sound doctrine. They contrast faithful preaching with popular distortions, including prosperity teaching, Word of Faith, progressive theology, and works-based religion.
