What or Who Are You Trusting In for the Afterlife?
In this deeply reflective episode, we wrestle with one of lifeās most essential questions: Whatāor whoāare you trusting in for the afterlife? Sparked by the recent passing of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne on July 22, 2025, host Kenny Price offers a powerful meditation on eternity, legacy, grace, and salvation.
Through cultural memories, personal anecdotes, and a biblical lens, Kenny explores Ozzyās paradoxical lifeāfrom his occult-infused image as the āPrince of Darknessā to the confessions of faith, prayer, and spiritual yearning scattered throughout his public statements. Could Ozzy have had a deeper faith than many assumed?
And more importantly: Where do you stand?
āWeāre all sinnersāfrom rock stars to revered saintsāand our hope lies not in our own righteousness, but in Godās mercy through Jesus Christ.āš Scripture References: Ecclesiastes 3:11, Psalm 139:14, John 14:6, Romans 10:9- Ephesians 2:8-9

06:01||Season 26, Ep. 554šEpisode Overview: In a world that feels like itās constantly on fast-forwardāfilled with political tension, cultural division, and economic uncertaintyāour first instinct might be to withdraw, insulate, and hide. But Jesus never called His people to hide. He called us to shine.In this episode, we unpack the biblical concept of consecration: being fully set apart for God in a way that is healthy, joyful, and deeply human. From the Old Testament priests to Jesusā prayer in John 17, to Paulās call in Romans 12, consecration is less about retreating from the world and more about living for God in the middle of it.Weāll also look to the example of St. Francis of Assisi, who embraced an organic life of consecration. His service, simplicity, and joy remind us that mowing a yard, cooking a meal, or helping a neighbor can be just as holy as preaching a sermon.š§ What Youāll Learn in This EpisodeWhy biblical consecration is not withdrawal but engagement with the world.How Jesus redefined consecration for all of life.What St. Francis of Assisi teaches us about organic, everyday holiness.Why Romans 12 calls us to present our whole lives as worship.How living consecrated to God brings peace into an agitated world.šKey Scripture ReferencesJohn 17:19 ā āI sanctify Myself for them, so that they also may be sanctified by the truth.āRomans 12:1 ā āPresent your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to Godāthis is your true worship.āš§āāļøChallenge for the WeekDonāt wait for the chaos to calm down before living fully for Christ. Let your consecration be organicāwoven into your work, your play, your serving, and your resting. Be a living picture of Christās peace in an unstable world.DONATEĀ You can help support this podcast by clickingĀ our secure PayPal account.

09:47||Season 26, Ep. 551šIn this episode we dig deeper into one of the most mocked phrases in Christian prayer life: the hedge of protection.The joke is all too familiar:āGee thanks⦠a hedge?ā Cue the laughter.But what if this joke is spiritually dangerous?š In Job 1:10, the very first being to speak of the hedge wasnāt a prophetāit was Satan. He acknowledged the divine barrier God placed around Job. And yet today, Christians mock it, minimize it, or intellectualize it away. In this episode, we explore:The comic, cynical, and conservative intellectual mindsets behind mocking spiritual warfareWhy humor in the Church can train us to doubt the reality of Satan and the power of prayerA personal encounter with someone who dismissed binding prayers as āimpossibleāWhatās really at stake when we treat sacred language as sketch comedyš„ Main Takeaways:Satan isnāt laughing at the hedgeāhe respects it.Mocking spiritual protection undermines faith and invites complacency.Thereās a cost when cleverness becomes more valued than clarity.You donāt need to understand prayer perfectly to pray powerfully. Jesus never said, āExplain prayer.ā He said, āPray.āš Reflection Questions:Have I ever laughed at something sacredājust to fit in, sound smart, or look ābalancedā?What subtle messages might my jokes or sarcasm be sending about prayer?How can I reclaim a war-ready posture in my prayer life?š Call to Action: Say āAmenā next time someone prays a hedge of protection.

05:03||Season 26, Ep. 550In this episode, weāre going straight into Job 1:9ā10āa conversation so ancient and cosmic it still rattles the gates of spiritual warfare today.Why do some Christians mock the phrase "hedge of protection"? Is it outdated? Harmless? Or is something more sinister at play when we joke about what Satan himself takes seriously?Whether youāve heard this phrase in prayer circles or mocked on stage, todayās deep dive will challenge you to rethink your posture toward spiritual boundaries, bold prayer, and the unseen war around you.š Key Scripture:āHavenāt you placed a hedge around him, his household, and everything he owns?ā ā Job 1:10 (CSB)āDeliver us from the evil one.ā Matthew 6:13 (CSB)⨠Main Takeaways:The hedge is real. And even the devil knows it.Mocking prayerāeven humorouslyāundermines faith and blunts spiritual warfare.Donāt confuse clichĆ© with weakness. Biblical language may be familiar, but that doesnāt make it powerless.Godās boundaries are active, not passive. If He lifts a hedge, itās for purpose, not punishment.š Reflection Questions:Have you ever minimized the power of prayer language because it sounded outdated?What spiritual "hedges" might you need to pray around your life, your family, or your ministry?How seriously do you take the concept of spiritual warfare in your daily walk?š DONATEĀ Help support this podcast by our secure PayPal account.

07:02||Season 26, Ep. 549šToo many believers interpret hardship as failure...When life gets heavy, they assume theyāve missed Godāor worse, that God has abandoned them. But what if the pressure is actually part of the plan? What if the strain is the strength? In this powerful episode, we draw from the Oswald Chambers' August 2 devotion to explore what it really means to overcome. Youāll discover why God doesnāt hand you a struggle-free life, but gives you life as you overcomeāin the middle of the pressure, in the minute-by-minute dependence.We also speak directly to the guilt many Christians carry during seasons of depression, reframing it not as disconnection from God, but as a space where God is growing deeper roots of endurance and faith.š Key Themes:Godās promise isnāt deliverance from trouble, but deliverance in trouble (John 16:33)Why āThe Strain Is the Strengthāāand how difficulty builds true spiritual muscleThe myth of effortless Christian living and the danger of premature quittingA vital encouragement for anyone battling depression: you are not a failureThe minute-by-minute grace God givesānot for tomorrow, but for nowThe joy that comesānot in escaping hardshipābut in finding Jesus within itš§ Quote Worth Remembering:āThe strain you feel isnāt a sign of weaknessāitās a sign of growth.āš Scripture Inspirations:John 16:33 Psalm 42:11 Revelation 2:7Galatians 6:9DONATEĀ You can help support this podcast by clickingĀ our secure PayPal account.

13:18||Season 26, Ep. 548š Episode Summary:In this visually rich and spiritually stirring episode, You are invited into a personal journey through the world of analog photographyāand how it unexpectedly led me deeper into the heart of God. From handling rolls of acetate film to reflecting on the sacred nature of light itself, I draw parallels between the way film captures reality and how God reveals truth in subtle, profound ways.Youāll hear how the physical process of light exposing a chemical emulsion offers more than nostalgiaāit offers theology. We explore why digital precision canāt quite replicate the mystery of an organic image burned into film, and how this speaks to a deeper longing for beauty, substance, and permanence in an age of speed and simulation.Most of all, this episode is about how God uses lightāliteral and spiritualāto form us, to reveal Himself, and to call us to "walk as children of the light" (Ephesians 5:8).š Key Themes:The spiritual truth revealed through the analog film processWhy light is sacred in Scriptureāand in artHow technology has changed our perception of realityPersonal reflections from childhood and spiritual formationThe difference between digital sharpness and soulful depthš¼ļø Memorable Quote: "Light is sacred. Not because itās nostalgic, but because itās the very first act of creation (Gen. 1:3)āthe first word God spoke into the void. And when that light touches emulsion, something real and lasting is formed. I think our souls recognize that."š Scriptures: 1 John 1:5 ā "God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in him." 1 Timothy 6:16 ā "...who lives in unapproachable light..."DONATEĀ You can help support this podcast by clickingĀ our secure PayPal account.
