Will You Follow Jesus When They Hate You? What happens when following Jesus puts you at odds with the people you love? Your family, friends, church, community, culture. The New Testament doesn't promise that following Christ will make everyone like you. In fact, Jesus explicitly warned His disciples that the world would hate them because it hated Him. But what happens when that pressure becomes personal? In this episode of Truth at All Costs, we look at what the New Testament teaches about following Christ when faithfulness comes at a social cost. Jesus commands His disciples to put Him above family, friends, reputation, and even their own lives. The apostles tell Christians to test teachers, reject false doctrine, avoid destructive error, and obey God rather than men. And contrary to what modern Christianity often suggests, biblical love does not mean affirming everything someone believes or does. Love rejoices with the truth.The question isn't whether you can follow Jesus when everyone approves of you. The question is: Will you follow Jesus when they hate you?

Every Sunday, millions of Christians hear phrases like: "God told me...," "The Lord laid this on my heart," and "The Holy Spirit revealed this to me." But where did Christians get the idea that God speaks this way? In this episode of Truth at All Costs, we trace that question from the early Church to the Radical Reformation and into modern Evangelicalism to uncover one of Christianity's oldest heresies.The question isn't whether the Holy Spirit speaks, but where He has promised to speak.

Did you know Welch’s Grape Juice wasn’t created for kids—it was born out of a theological fight over Holy Communion? Most people have no idea that Welch’s Grape Juice began as "Dr. Welch's Unfermented Wine," invented by a Methodist minister and teetotaler during the 19th-century Temperance Movement. But what happens when human intentions—no matter how sincere—try to "improve" what Christ Himself instituted?In this episode of Truth at All Costs, Rev. Tyrel Bramwell dives into the history of how a cultural shift from opposing drunkenness to banning alcohol entirely reshaped church practices, pushed wine off the altar, and replaced Jesus's command with human tradition. #HolyCommunion #ChurchHistory #Theology #WelchsGrapeJuice #TemperanceMovement

Jay Dyer recently told Tucker Carlson that Martin Luther's doctrine of justification was deeply influenced by medieval nominalism—and that this philosophical foundation helps explain the trajectory of Protestantism. Jordan B. Cooper responded, arguing that the historical picture is far more nuanced than Dyer suggests. Links to their videos below.But what if they're both answering the wrong question?In this episode of Truth at All Costs, we take a careful look at Dyer's claims, Cooper's response, and—most importantly—HolyScripture. Rather than getting lost in endless debates over William of Ockham, nominalism, and medieval philosophy, we return to the question that haunted Luther's conscience: How can a sinner stand before a holy God?So pour yourself a drink, open your Bible, and let's pursue the truth at all costs. #MartinLuther #JayDyer #JordanBCooper #TuckerCarlson #truthatallcosts

After listening to a sermon that focused wholly on America without ever even mentioning Christ, I found myself asking a simple question: What is the Church actually for?In this episode of Truth at All Costs, we examine the mission of the Church, the distinction between the Two Kingdoms, and why faithful Christian preaching must always proclaim Christ crucified. History is not the Gospel. America is not the Gospel. Jesus Christ crucified for sinners is the Gospel.#christiannationalism #TruthatAllCosts #Falsegospel #falseteachers

Tech billionaires are rebuilding the Tower of Babel. Artificial intelligence promises to solve humanity's greatest problems.Long before Silicon Valley built data centers and large language models, mankind gathered on the plain of Shinar with one language and one purpose: "Let us make a name for ourselves."In this episode of Truth at All Costs, we examine the surprising biblical connections between the Tower of Babel, Pentecost, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and humanity's relentless desire to overcome death without God. Is AI merely another tool, or is it the latest expression of mankind's oldest rebellion?We'll examine the words of AI leaders and futurists, compare them with Scripture, and contrast the Theology of Glory with the Theology of the Cross. Ultimately, the question isn't whether AI will become a god. The question is whether humanity is once again trying to build a tower to heaven instead of receiving the salvation that has already come down to us in Jesus Christ. #ArtificialIntelligence #TowerOfBabel #Christianity #Bible #TruthAtAllCosts

Most Christians think they know what the Gospel is. Most Christians have been taught a false gospel. Were you taught the truth?In this episode of Truth at All Costs, Pastor Tyrel Bramwell examines one of the most important distinctions in all of Scripture: the difference between Law and Gospel. Many churches have turned Christianity into a system of advice, self-improvement, and moral instruction. But the Gospel is not advice. It is news.Discover what the Bible actually says about the Gospel, why the Apostle Paul warned so strongly against false gospels, and how Martin Luther's rediscovery of this truth helped spark the Reformation. If you've ever wondered whether Christianity is about what you must do for God or what Christ has done for you, this episode is for you.

One of the most shocking passages in Revelation isn't about the Beast, but about the businessmen.In Revelation 18:9-19, the kings of the earth mourn. The merchants of the earth mourn. The shipmasters of the sea mourn. But they aren't grieving because evil has been judged. They aren't grieving because innocent people have suffered. They're grieving because Babylon's economy has collapsed.What does John tell us about the merchants? What is Babylon? Why does Revelation connect political power, economic power, luxury, commerce, and spiritual corruption? And why do these ancient warnings feel so relevant in a world dominated by global trade, corporate influence, consumer culture, and endless pursuit of wealth?In this episode of Truth at All Costs, we explore Revelation 18:9-19, the fall of Babylon, the merchants of the earth, and the sobering warning that every civilization faces when profit becomes more important than truth.🥃 Stay until the end for the Truth at All Costs toast.

In this episode of Truth at All Costs, we set aside politics, emotion, and assumptions—and go straight to Scripture. We walk through the following:Where the modern view of Israel as God's chosen people comes from.How the New Testament defines the people of God.What happens to the promises made to Abraham.A full reading and breakdown of Romans 11.Why this issue directly impacts your understanding of the Gospel.This is not about ethnicity.This is not about geopolitics.This is about faith in Christ. This is about how God defines His people—and whether we’re willing to let Scripture speak for itself.

In this episode of Truth at All Costs, Rev. Tyrel Bramwell exposes how modern church leaders — from the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Pope — are bowing to the spirit of the age. As the Church blesses sin and the state builds digital systems of control, Scripture’s warnings about the Mark of the Beast echo louder than ever.This isn’t about microchips or barcodes — it’s about worship and allegiance. Will you call Caesar “Lord,” or confess Christ when it costs everything?Featuring:The Archbishop of Canterbury’s apostasy on women’s ordination and LGBTQ blessing.The Pope’s appointment of pro-LGBTQ bishop.Tucker Carlson’s question: “Have we already taken the Mark of the Beast?”j🛒 MERCH STOREhttps://tyrel-bramwell-shop.fourthwall.com📩 CONTACTFor inquiries, collaborations, or anything else: https://tyrelbramwell.com/contact/🌐 FOLLOW + CONNECTWebsite: https://tyrelbramwell.comPodcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4nzbYuS7tvJX8ELZTSTGdt?si=b2353584e259471aX: https://x.com/TyrelBramwellInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tyrelbramwell/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stmarksferndale/

Socrates called himself a gadfly—the one who disturbed a complacent society. Charlie Kirk played that role in America, and it cost him his life. But the truth cannot be silenced. In this episode of Truth at All Costs (Season 3, Ep 3), Rev.

But His peace only comes through repentance and faith, and that always unsettles the world. 👊 Join the fight to disturb false peace and stand in the Truth at all costs. 🎵 Download The Gadfly's Creed and Deployed by the Lord wherever you listen to music.
