“He must increase, I must decrease.”

John the Baptist’s disciples were upset, his crowds were shrinking while Jesus’ were growing. But instead of jealousy, John rejoiced. He knew something we often forget: the goal of life is not self-promotion, but Christ-exaltation.

In this episode, we dig into John 3:22–36 and unpack why your calling, your influence, and even your identity must be received, not achieved.

You’ll discover:

• Your Calling Is a Gift, Not a Contest: Why comparing yourself to others kills your joy and how freedom comes from knowing who you’re not.

• The Beauty of Decreasing: How “He must increase, I must decrease” is not a death sentence for your dreams but a doorway into purpose and joy.

• Belief & Obedience Are Inseparable: John ends with a warning: believing in Jesus is not just nodding along, it’s submitting your life to Him. Refusal to obey is refusal to believe.

This is a call to repentance and re-alignment: step out of comparison, release control, and let Jesus take center stage. The joy you’ve been chasing is found in your decrease and His increase.

Stop clinging to your platform, your pride, or your plans. Lay them down, because when Christ becomes greater, you finally become free.

John 3:16 is the most famous verse in the Bible BUT maybe the most under-lived.

We quote it at football games, print it on coffee mugs, and post it on Instagram. But do we live it?

In this episode, we break open the Gospel in a single breath:

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 NASB)

This is more than a verse, it’s a revolution!! God’s love is not sentimental, casual, or convenient. It is violent, costly, and world-changing. It took a cross, not a Hallmark card, to express it.

Here’s what we’ll unpack together:

• God’s Love Is Greater Than Your Worst Sin – not a feeling, but an action that moves first, sacrifices deeply, and risks rejection.

• God’s Light Reveals Our Real Condition – Jesus exposes, convicts, and calls us out of hiding, not to shame us, but to heal us.

• God’s Invitation Demands a Response – believing isn’t a mental nod; it’s staking your whole life on Him.

This is your invitation to repent, to step into the light, let Jesus cleanse what’s been hidden, and embrace the eternal life that begins right now.

Stop giving Jesus a polite nod. Stake your life on Him. Move from “I know John 3:16” to “John 3:16 has wrecked and remade me.”

2025 feels heavy. Fear, division, and violence dominate the headlines. Truth feels slippery—everyone shouting their own version of reality. Another tragedy every week. Another reason to stay quiet, numb, or distracted.

But this is not the hour for silent survival.

This message takes you straight into the urgency of this moment, through the life and courageous faith of Charlie Kirk—who spent his last 20 minutes publicly proclaiming Jesus before thousands, only to be assassinated mid-event. Instead of silencing the movement, his death sparked an explosion of faith and activism across the nation.

What about you? Are you living today the way you want to be remembered?

In this teaching, we’ll unpack:

• Why the Great Commission is not a suggestion but a mandate

• How to walk with courage and conviction when culture pressures you to stay silent

• 5 practical ways to live sent — carrying God’s Presence, seeking Him in prayer, proclaiming His truth, growing with His people, and moving in His power

Jesus bled and died so you could live bold, authentic, unstoppable. This is your moment. This is your commission.

Will you shrink back—or will you step into the story God is writing through you?

Nicodemus had religion. He had knowledge, morality, and respect. Yet when he came to Jesus at night, he heard the most shocking words of his life: “You must be born again.”

Jesus wasn’t offering Nicodemus advice—He was confronting him with truth. Religion can’t save you. Good works can’t open the door. Credentials can’t grant access. The only password into the Kingdom is new birth from above.

In this teaching, we’ll unpack:

• Why religion and morality can’t get you into the Kingdom of God

• What it means to be “born of water and the Spirit”

• Why the cross is the only cure for the venom of sin

• How new life begins the moment you look to Christ in faith

This isn’t about a spiritual tune-up—it’s about total rebirth. You don’t need more rules. You need resurrection.

Jesus walked into the Temple—and instead of worship, He found a marketplace. With a whip in hand, He drove out corruption and declared: “Stop making My Father’s house a place of business!”

This wasn’t just about flipping tables—it was about flipping an entire system of exploitation, empty religion, and fake spirituality. And then He dropped a riddle that pointed to the cross: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

In this teaching from John 2, we’ll see why Jesus’ zeal mattered then—and why it matters now:

• Worship without zeal becomes ritual

• Religion without Christ becomes corruption

• The Temple isn’t a building anymore—it’s Him, and now it’s us

Your body is not your own. You are a temple of the Holy Spirit. The question is—are you letting Him cleanse it?

“Zeal for God’s House: When Jesus Flipped the Tables” | John 2:13–17

Imagine walking into church and finding a flea market instead of worship. That’s exactly what Jesus encountered at Passover—and He didn’t stay silent. He made a whip, flipped tables, and drove corruption out of God’s house.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why Jesus’ anger was about more than money—it was about nations being blocked from God

• How zeal isn’t hype or emotion, but a burning passion aligned with God’s heart

• The difference between real worship and fake spirituality that only looks alive

• What “tables” in our churches and lives today might need flipping

Zeal matters because it’s not just what we do or why we do it—it’s how we do it. Without zeal, prayer becomes ritual, preaching becomes performance, and worship becomes noise without power.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to truly burn with passion for God in a distracted, surface-level culture, this message will help you reclaim the fire.

“When the Wine Runs Out: God’s Purpose in Your Emptiness” | John 2:1–12

In John 2, Jesus’ first recorded miracle takes place at a wedding—but the crisis wasn’t just that they ran out of wine. It was a prophetic sign of what happens when human joy, strength, and resources run dry.

In this teaching, we unpack:

• Why God sometimes lets your “wine” run out before He moves

• How old religious containers can’t produce true life

• Why Jesus fills before He transforms

• The truth that miracles often happen in motion, not in waiting

• How to surrender control and trust God’s perfect timing

If you feel like you’ve reached the end of yourself, this message will help you see your emptiness not as a failure, but as an invitation for God to fill you with something far better than what you lost.

The miracle at Cana isn’t just about wine—it’s about the Savior who turns lack into abundance and shame into joy. The best truly comes after the old runs dry.

Have you ever had that moment when you just knew—that’s the one? Whether it’s the right person, the right path, or the right purpose, something deep inside confirms it.

In this episode of The Gospels, we unpack John 1:35–51, where four powerful movements reveal how Jesus isn’t just another teacher or prophet—He’s the One the world’s been waiting for.

We’ll explore:

• How John the Baptist declares Jesus as the Lamb of God
• What it means to truly encounter Jesus
• How relational evangelism changed everything
• Why Jesus is the ladder between heaven and earth

This message is raw, real, and relevant—especially if you’ve ever wondered how to share your faith without sounding religious, pushy, or rehearsed. This isn’t a formula. It’s a framework—built on real questions, authentic relationships, and the unmatched power of Jesus to meet people right where they are.

Big Takeaway: If Jesus truly is the One—then He’s too good to keep to yourself.

Watch or listen now—and discover how to live, love, and lead like Jesus is the One.
