All !n with Jordan Easley

A three-part look at how God defines what our culture is trying to redefine. Using the picture of a calm sea hiding a deadly current, Pastor Jordan Easley warns of a cultural undercurrent aimed at gender, marriage, and family, then returns to Genesis to show that God determines gender (we are made male and female in His image), God declared marriage (the one-flesh covenant of one man and one woman), and God designed the family (fat...

Years ago, a popular bumper sticker made its way through Christian circles: “God said it. I believe it. That settles it.” But the truth is even simpler than that. If God said it, that settles it, whether we believe it or not.

Today, we live in a culture that constantly tries to redefine truth. You will hear people say things like, “truth is relative” or “there’s no such thing as absolute truth.&rd...

Have you ever started a DIY project after watching a YouTube video, only to find that skipping steps leads to a wobbly shelf or a leaky sink? It is a simple lesson we often learn the hard way: building something the wrong way always catches up to you. This is not just true for home projects, but for the home you are building with your life. Every parent and mentor is in the middle of a building project. The critical question is whe...

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to a screaming fire alarm. Smoke fills the air and you see an orange glow. In that moment, your priorities become crystal clear. You do not worry about the furniture or the television; you focus on the people who matter most and get them to safety. A fire alarm launches you into purposeful action.

But what if your marriage is on fire and you do not hear the alarm? Most marriages do not co...

Leaving a child at their college dorm for the first time is a moment filled with a mix of pride, sadness, and a flood of memories. It feels like just yesterday you were running alongside their bike, holding on, promising you were right there. Then comes the moment you have to let go, not to hurt them, but to help them grow. That is what so many of life’s transitions feel like. One minute, everything is steady, and the next, i...

A young man named Chris Moon joined a humanitarian group clearing landmines in Mozambique. He was trained to walk slowly, listen carefully, and never step where he hadn’t scanned. But one day, he took a shortcut, just a few feet off the marked path. The resulting explosion nearly cost him his life. He later said, “I let familiarity numb my focus. I forgot that just because I didn’t see the danger didn’t mean ...

What comes to your mind when you hear the word home? For some, it’s a warm kitchen, the smell of coffee, and laughter in the living room. For others, it might stir up pain, memories of fights, divorce, or absence. No matter your experience, we are all building something: marriages, families, and futures. The most important question we can ask is, what foundation are we building upon?

You could build a house that impresses the w...

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy toured NASA and met a janitor carrying a mop. When the president asked him what he did there, the man replied, “I’m helping put a man on the moon.” That janitor understood that his role, no matter how small it seemed, was part of a mission far greater than himself. He saw beyond his immediate task to the larger, history-changing vision.

In the same way, the Bible tells us that if ...

Curiosity can be a powerful catalyst for change. Consider the story of a janitor at NASA during the 1960s space race who, through simple curiosity, overheard a debate between engineers and offered a groundbreaking idea that improved the Apollo mission’s fuel. His curiosity brought him close, his boldness brought him in, and his question led to a breakthrough. This is the power of curiosity, and it is the same force that led a ...

Most people have heard of Colonel Sanders and his world-famous fried chicken, but few know his story of failure. After his restaurant business failed, he hit the road at age 65 with nothing but a social security check and his secret recipe. He was rejected 1,009 times before one person finally said "yes." That single encounter changed everything, turning a rejected recipe into the global empire of KFC. One moment can redefine a lif...

Many of us can remember wanting something desperately as a child, like a prized toy or a rare collector's item. We might have even been willing to trade for it, but when the time came, the cost felt too high. We looked at what we already cherished, what we had worked hard to get, and thought, “As much as I want that, I just can’t let go of what I have.” In a similar way, we all come to Jesus with hands that are fu...

A true encounter with Jesus Christ will always change your life. You cannot meet Jesus face to face and leave unchanged. This is a truth we see powerfully demonstrated in the story of an unexpected woman at a well in Samaria. When Jesus decided to travel through Samaria, it was not a geographical shortcut; it was a divine appointment. He intentionally crossed significant cultural, ethnic, and social barriers because He had a meetin...

We all love the mountaintop moments in our walk with God. These are the spiritual highs when His presence feels near, His voice seems louder, and we just know He is moving. But when you experience spiritual victory, you can almost always expect a spiritual attack. If it can happen to Jesus, it will most certainly happen to us.

Immediately after His baptism, a powerful moment of divine affirmation, Jesus was led by the Spirit into the ...

Walter Dixon was a soldier in the Korean War who was captured in combat. After a long time, the military presumed he was dead and sent a letter to his family declaring him "killed in action." His family grieved, held a funeral, and tried to move on. Two years later, there was a knock at the door. When they opened it, Walter was standing there, alive. The weeping started again, but this time, they were tears of joy. The son they tho...

There is something about facing the end of life that makes people brutally honest. When eternity is staring you in the face, the unimportant things fade away, and only the truth remains. We see this reality on full display in Luke’s account of the crucifixion. Jesus is hanging on a Roman cross between two criminals, both at the end of their roads. In their final moments, they each have an encounter with the King of Kings. On...
