  • Compassion

    I have been so blessed and challenged by this podcast the last seven months.

    The podcast has helped motivate me to make sure my family becomes active members of our church. I am an Athletic Director and Football Coach blessed with daily opportunities to glorify Christ in my place of work at a Classical Christian school.

    My family and I just chose to sponsor a young man in Kenya with the same birthday as my five year old son.

    My son is excited. I wanted to make sure I did it right and was c... more

  • Doesn’t know history

    Literally just listened to him say something from Christianity was introduced when Jesus died, as if the more than a millennia of Judaism before that or what the “Old Testament” actually is magically came to be then. Can’t take anything else seriously after that.

  • Re-ignition of my spiritual life.

    The strong and applicable messages have helped reignite my walk with the lord in the last year. I recently found out I am going to be the father of a girl, and I am so glad that I found dialed in last year so I can be a MAN of God for my wife and daughter.

    P.S. Jim, I decided to sponsor a compassion child because of the last episode. I didn’t know there was a link through you, and I wanted you to add me to the total number of children sponsored. We picked a young girl who has the same birthday... more

    I found this podcast a few months ago and have binged listen to it to get caught up. I caught up today. It has really helped me reignite my passion for Jesus and serving him wholeheartedly. I’ve recommended this podcast to several of my friends. Keep up the great kingdom work. I’m looking forward to future episodes. Nathan B.

Guardrail #10: Build a Wall - Ten Boundaries for an Unbreakable Marriage EP 991
Q: What does it mean to preside over and fortify the walls around those under your care?
It means actively protecting and guiding both family and employees, listening with discernment, and making sure each person has the support and environment to grow, succeed, and stay connected to God. It's about daily, deliberate leadership that builds trust and security.
The End Times Explained w/ John Bevere: How Jesus' Second Coming Changes What You Do Today EP 990
Q: What is prospectomy and why is it important for believers today?
Prospectomy, or eagerly waiting, is the posture that enables believers to purify themselves as Jesus is pure and stay focused on heavenly realities rather than earthly distractions.
The End Times Explained w/ John Bevere: How Jesus' Second Coming Changes What You Do Today EP 990
Q: Can you explain the two stages of the Second Coming and how they fit with biblical prophecy?
The first stage is the gathering of the Bride in the clouds, while the second stage involves Christ's return to judge the nations, with believers participating in a future victory over evil.
The End Times Explained w/ John Bevere: How Jesus' Second Coming Changes What You Do Today EP 990
Q: Why has eschatology historically been avoided by the church, and why did you decide to write about it now?
Past experiences with failed predictions led to an escape mentality and laziness; Bevere explains that deeper study restored urgency and a hunger to engage mission, not fear.
The End Times Explained w/ John Bevere: How Jesus' Second Coming Changes What You Do Today EP 990
Q: So what do you think the Day of Judgment will look like for Christians?
There are two judgments: one for sinners and a separate, rewarding judgment for Christians where believers are evaluated for how faithfully they served in various arenas, with rewards corresponding to faithful stewardship.
