AMEN PODCAST

Everyone talks about aesthetic. Your feed, your room, your coffee shop, your fit. But there’s a Greek word in the Bible that only shows up one time in the entire New Testament, and it might change the way you see your whole life.

In this episode of Amen Podcast, Pastor Alex and Lokelani Wilson walk through Philippians 1 verses 9 through 11 and unpack what Paul actually prayed for the church. Spoiler: it’s not about how your life loo...

How God’s Work In You Will Never Stop (Philippians 1:3-8)

Paul is on house arrest in Rome. Ten years removed from the Philippians. Awaiting a trial that could end his life. And when he picks up his pen to write to this little church in Macedonia, the first word out of his mouth isn’t fear. It’s joy.

This week we’re in Part 2 of the Stress Less series, walking through Philippians 1:3-8 and unpacking three distinct works of God: what H...

Stress Less PT. 1

Paul wrote Philippians from a prison cell. The whole letter is about joy. How?

Welcome to Episode 1 of our new series, Stress Less: How the Cross is the Cure for Anxiety. We’re walking through the book of Philippians verse by verse to show you that you don’t have to live surprised by every hard thing that hits you.

In this episode, Alex unpacks Philippians 1:1-2 and shows three things that kept Paul calm in chains:

We spent years in Matthew. And it ends here — not with a theology lecture, but with eleven doubting disciples on a mountain, a risen Jesus who doesn’t rebuke them, and a commission that changed the world.

Matthew 28:16–20 is the final exhale of the greatest story ever told. And the thing that hits hardest isn’t the Great Commission itse...

The religious leaders just heard the news — Jesus is risen. So they bribe the guards, spread a lie, and use every political connection they have to bury it.

None of it works.

In this episode we’re in Matthew 28:11–15 looking at three ways people try to move God — bribery, dishonesty, and policy — and why every single one fails. Because you cannot stop what God has already done.

If God is immovable, then in Christ, neither are you.

The tomb is empty. That changes everything.

On the first Easter morning, two women showed up looking for a funeral — and got invited to a party. In this message from Matthew 28:1-10, we unpack three things the empty tomb means for your life today: you’re invited (not out of obligation, but love), God doesn’t just intervene — He gets involved, and His love for you is invincible.

If the tomb lacks a body, you lack nothing.

In this episode, Alex walks through Matthew 27:57-61 and shows us three pictures of devotion from one of the most overlooked passages in the crucifixion story. Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and the two Marys weren’t doing anything spectacular. They were just doing what was right in front of them — and God was working through all of it in ways they couldn’t see.

Jesus didn’t just die — He was forsaken. For 3 hours, darkness covered the land, and the Son of God cried out “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” — and the Father didn’t answer.

In this episode, Alex walks through Matthew 27:46-50 and uncovers what actually happened in those 3 hours on the cross, why Jesus stopped calling God “Father,” and what it means that He declared “It is finished.”

If you’ve ever felt like God went sile...

Most people think they’re going to heaven. But Jesus says the road to life is narrow — and few find it. Not many. Few.

In this episode of the Amen Podcast, Alex and Lokelani sit in Matthew 7:13-14, right at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, and unpack one of the most sobering passages in all of Scripture. The wide road is crowded, comfortable, and covered in destruction. The narrow road is hard, lonely, and crushing — and it leads...

When the sky went dark at noon, it wasn’t just a weather event—it was God marking the moment His wrath fell on Jesus for our sin.

In this episode, we explore the darkness that covered the land during Jesus’s final three hours on the cross. We dive into what darkness meant in the Old Testament, why God dwells in “unapproachable light,” and how the fear of the Lord is actually the beginning of knowing Him.

Jesus entered the impenetrabl...

There were two men named Jesus at the trial. One was a murderer and rebel. The other was the Messiah. The crowd chose the criminal over the Savior.

But here’s the real question: Which Jesus would YOU choose today?

In this message, we break down the shocking differences between Jesus Barabbas and Jesus Christ—and why we’re still tempted to follow the wrong one. From making a name for ourselves to shaking peace instead of making it, th...

Why did Jesus stay completely silent when falsely accused? And what does that mean for you when people come after you?

In Matthew 27:12-14, Jesus stands before Pilate while the religious leaders hurl accusations at Him—and He doesn’t say a single word. Pilate is shocked. But Jesus’s silence wasn’t weakness—it was sovereign obedience.

In this episode, we break down: ✓ Why Jesus chose silence over self-defense ✓ The prophetic fulfillme...

What does your life say about Jesus?

The religious leaders had to LIE about who Jesus was to manipulate Pilate into killing Him. They twisted the truth to get what they wanted. But here’s the thing – our lives are constantly telling a story about Christ too.

Whether through our words, actions, priorities, or choices, we’re either bearing witness to the truth of who He is, or we’re distorting His character to a watching world.
