536. The Bar in the Room-Calling the Church Back to Sobriety
06:10||Season 525, Ep. 536Titus 2:11-12 -"For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, instructing us to deny godlessness and worldly lusts and to live in a sensible, righteous, and godly way in the present age." The sober life isn’t just a clean life. Integrity begins in quiet places. This episode explains how we restore integrity in worship and leadership. Let this series stir a holy dissatisfaction with the norm. Let it ignite a longing for something more beautiful, more sober, and more real. Christ is worthy of a consecrated Church.

535. Episode 2: The Bar in the Room: When Influence Becomes Indulgence
05:09||Season 25, Ep. 535Welcome back to part two of our series. In just the last few days of this writing, a major exposé dropped—documented by dozens of interviews—revealing deep moral compromise tied directly to sexual promiscuity along with the habitual use of alcohol by one of Christian music’s most recognizable voices. This story, as heartbreaking as it is, isn’t an isolated one. Influence is a sacred responsibility. But in the Christian music industry, we’re watching that influence turn into indulgence...Disclaimer: This podcast series reflects the personal spiritual convictions and commentary of the host.

534. Episode 1: The Bar in the Room: What’s Being Served in the Name of Jesus?
06:35||Season 25, Ep. 534Welcome to this first episode in our 3-part series, “The Bar in the Room.” In this series, we’re not here to make alcohol the chief of sins. We’re here to hold a light up to a pattern that’s spreading unchecked in Christian music culture—one that is quietly shifting the atmosphere from hospitality to hedonism. 1 Peter 5:8 calls us to be alert, to be sober-minded. Because the enemy prowls, looking for someone to devour. And he doesn’t always come roaring. Sometimes he comes clinking in a glass...DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account. For donation by check, make payable to Transform This City, P.O.

533. Benighted in the Wilderness
06:48||Season 25, Ep. 533Charles Spurgeon wrote a profound statement in his evening devotion for May 7th: "We would not wish to enter heaven till our work is done, and it may be that we are yet ordained to minister light to souls benighted in the wilderness of sin." That word "benighted" sparked my curiosity. It is a power-packed Old-English word that paints a haunting image in you soul. I pray that this podcast moves you to action to in being a light bearer of Jesus Christ to those who are not just people walking through the dark. These are people who have become part of it. When you awaken to the full truth about the condition of lost souls without Christ, it will overwhelm you with compassion to move out of your comfort zone, beyond yourself, into the wilderness of sin to reach those whose instincts, fears, and MEMORIES are TRAINED IN THE NIGHT.DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.

532. When Faith Become Presumption
06:32||Season 25, Ep. 532This episode focuses on a serious but often overlooked spiritual danger: when faith slowly turns into presumption.At first glance, they look alike. Faith believes God can move mountains. Faith trusts His promises. Faith stands firm. But presumption hijacks that language and runs with it… without relationship, without reverence, and without surrender. In Charles Spurgeon’s Morning by Morning devotion for May 25th , and he writes: “It is not faith to test the Lord, and expect that He will deliver when we are acting out of step with His will. Faith is obedient; presumption is self-willed.”Let that sink in. Faith is obedient. Presumption is self-willed. In many circles today there’s no room for sanctification, no willingness to be pruned. Just momentum, branding, and hustle — baptized in Bible verses. Charles Spurgeon reminds us that the promises of God are not licenses for recklessness, but assurances for the obedient heart.DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.

531. Mea Culpa
11:41||Season 25, Ep. 531Today’s episode centers around a weighty, almost sacred phrase: “Mea culpa.” It’s Latin, it’s ancient, and yet, it’s as relevant as ever — especially in a world allergic to accountability.Our story today is filtered through the strange beauty of an old television show, Northern Exposure, and its quietly devastating 16th episode of Season 5. Northern Exposure gives us a window into healthy remorse — a category we desperately need to recover. “Mea culpa” — it means “through my fault”, or more personally, “my fault.”DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.

530. Universalism Part Two
07:15||Season 25, Ep. 530In episode 529 we uncovered the history and heresy of universalism. In this episode, we let the Bible speak. What does God actually say about Heaven, Hell, and eternity? We will expose universalism biblically by walking through key texts about Hell, salvation, the Lake of Fire, and the eternal destinies of souls.DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.
