It’s one thing to show mercy. It’s another thing to enjoy showing mercy. That’s one of the ways God is different from us—He is full of goodness, compassion, and mercy. When you understand this part of who God is, it can change the way you live your Christian life every day. Read: He Delighted in Mercy
What is redemption, and why does it matter so much to our faith? In this episode, we’ll take a powerful journey through scripture to uncover the heart of redemption and how Jesus paid the ultimate price to set us free. Read more: We Have Redemption.
When we think of Satan and demons, we often picture demoniacs in the Bible, possessed people being delivered, or heavenly battles like those in Daniel between Michael and demonic princes. But here’s a surprise: beyond these obvious manifestations, there are demonic strongholds few would ever suspect. Read More: A Powerful But Hidden Stronghold.
We might have made walking in the Spirit seem mysterious and mystical—but what if it’s meant to be the most natural part of your life with God?
Too often, we limit the Spirit’s work to dramatic moments—fasting, prophecy, tongues—while missing His quiet, daily guidance through our thoughts, emotions, and actions. In this newsletter, I’ll share two revealing stories, unpack what Scripture really teaches, and show you a powerful truth...
The title “god of this world” given to Satan is quite intriguing. One reason it can be difficult to understand is that it appears only once in Scripture. When this happens, we apply sound Bible interpretation principles to discern what Paul meant by calling Satan “the god of this world.” in 2 Corinthians 4:4).
What if I told you the Holy Spirit has already spoken through you? Not just in a prophecy or vision—but in a conversation, in a moment when you were simply sharing your faith. Let’s explore this stunning reality together.
Many Christians still struggle to understand what the Kingdom of God truly is—let alone see its manifestations in their daily lives. Yet Jesus emphasized its critical importance repeatedly in His teachings. Read More: What Really is the Kingdom of God?
What if the force behind every tear, fear, and tragedy has already been rendered powerless? What if death—the ultimate weapon of hell—was not only defeated but dismantled by a single act in history? Most believers know Jesus died and rose again, but few fully grasp what that means for the power behind all human suffering. Read: Who Hath Abolished Death
What if God could pick you up like a mighty weapon and wield you to shake the world?In the New Testament, we are told to put on God's armor, but Jeremiah offers a startling twist: God doesn't just clothe His people for battle—He makes them the weapon. But what exactly does it mean to be God's battle axe? And how does this ancient truth reach into your life today? Read: Thou Art My Battle Axe and Weapons of War
Many celebrate Christ’s death this week—but few grasp the hidden mystery His resurrection unlocked. Behind the empty tomb lies a spiritual reality so profound that most believers live without ever fully stepping into it. What if I told you that everything Christ suffered for remains out of reach for you—unless you understand what happened when He rose? Read: Hidden Mystery Resurrection of Christ.
If you think Jesus died for you but forget He also died as you, you’re only seeing half the Gospel. Many believers know Christ's death paid for their sins, but few realize that something far more radical happened at Calvary: they died there too. Read: I am crucified with Christ
Imagine living your entire Christian life carrying what Christ already took from you—this is the tragedy of misunderstood redemption. What exactly did Jesus bear on the cross? Read: He Hath Borne Our Griefs and Carried Our Sorrows.
The greatest exchange in heaven and earth was this: the Innocent was punished so the guilty could be justified. Jesus becoming a sinner in our place is only one facet of this mystery—the other, often overlooked, is that the sinner becomes a saint. Read: The Mystery of the Substitution.
When your spirit is worn out, even small spiritual tasks can feel like mountains. You try to pray, but your words feel dry. You open your Bible, but nothing stirs your heart. Something is off—but what is it, and how do you fix it? This devotional will help you recognize the quiet signs of spiritual fatigue and discover how to recover the strength your soul desperately needs. Read More: Symptoms of Spiritual Fatigue.
Do you think we would have been saved if Jesus had been born, grown old, and died from old age or disease? That would still be death, right? Certainly not! This immediately tells us that, although death is death, not all death is the same...Read "The Hidden Power of Jesus’ Blood".
What comes to your mind when you hear the word “doctrine”? For many, it conjures up images of theological debates, denominational statements, or religious traditions. It’s often reduced to a list of beliefs you’re supposed to sign off on—or worse, a reason why one group of Christians argues with another. Read: What New Doctrine is This?
What if the size of your miracle depends on the space you make for it? We often ask God for more, yet we may be unaware that we lack the capacity to receive or contain what we’re requesting. Read: The Oil Stopped Flowing.
Imagine standing in complete darkness—no landmarks, no direction—just emptiness. Then, suddenly, a small light flickers in the distance. No matter how small, that light commands attention. It offers hope, clarity, and a sense of direction...Read: Ye Are The Light of the World.
What would your outward life look like if your spirit could fully express itself in your mind and body? Here’s an example: none of us would be depressed, stressed, or sick because our spirit is full of peace, joy, and healing! What, then, is hindering this expression? Read: Naturalization of the Spirit.
God is a God of knowledge, and He created humanity as beings of knowledge. While science reveals the power of knowledge in the natural world, an even greater significance lies in spiritual knowledge. In this devotional, we will explore the transformative power of knowledge by examining one of the Greek words for knowledge in the Bible—epignosis. Read more: Understanding Epignosis.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
