Satan quoted Psalm 91 to the Son of God. His citations were accurate. His chapter and verse were right, yet he omitted the very next line, the one that promised his own demise. The first classroom in hell is a Bible study without context. This episode is a live teaching from The Send where Pastor Darren and Angela unpack Matthew 4, counter-formation, and what it looks like to be formed by Jesus in a world that is actively forming you into something else. In this episode: Matthew 4 and the temptation of Jesus where Satan uses scripture to combat faithfulness, grab power, and omit what does not serve himGen Z Bible reading hit 49% in one year and belief in the Bible's accuracy is shrinking at the same timeEngagement is outpacing conviction and what the Barna data actually reveals about the church right nowThe first classroom in hell is a Bible study without context and it is happening on Instagram every dayYou can quote scripture and still be Satan and the difference between quoting the word and submitting to itAngela's testimony of being saved at 25, delivered from alcoholism and eating disorders, and what the Word did in her lifeCultural Christianity has changed three things including your relationship with scripture, the church, and the lordship of Jesus SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

Masculinity makes it safe for femininity to flourish. And men have to lead the way in purity before they ever lead in a relationship. This episode covers the complementarian design of masculine and feminine working together, sexual integrity in dating, Proverbs 5 and 7, Ephesians 4, and what it actually looks like for a man to set the tone in communication, in conflict, and in purity.

What does it actually mean to be a man of God — and why is it so hard to find in the church, in dating, and in everyday life? This episode covers the full biblical picture of masculinity: from the wounds that produce passive men, to David's six-attribute blueprint, to the complementarian beauty of the masculine and feminine working together. In this episode: • What intentional pursuit actually looks like — and why mixed signals leave women stuck and confused • The Simba Complex: running from your calling, living in hakuna matata, and what it takes to step into your true identity • Toxic therapy culture vs. radical accountability — the difference between a vocabulary for your wounds and actually healing from them • Why passivity in men almost always traces back to a boy who was never initiated into manhood • Responsibility as masculinity — what Genesis 2 reveals about the garden and why nothing flourished until man showed up to tend it • Knowing God as the fuel of manhood — Moses, the burning bush, and "show me your glory" • Beauty and the Beast as the most accurate picture of the masculine and feminine working together that culture never meant to give us SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

The version of Jesus most people carry in their minds — gentle, passive, blonde-haired, blue-eyed — is not the Jesus of Scripture. The real Jesus turned over tables, carried heavy stone, wept publicly, welcomed the outcast, and went to the cross without flinching. This episode is a conversation with Derek Mack about what genuine biblical masculinity actually looks like when Jesus is the model instead of culture. In this episode: • Why our domesticated version of Jesus has produced a domesticated version of men • The Greek word androzomai — play the man — and why Polycarp heard it from heaven before he burned • Andrew Tate and why half-truths are more dangerous than outright lies • The Peter Pan generation — living in Neverland, escaping into video games, avoiding the call to grow up • Why the fatherless crisis is at the center of everything happening with men right now • 1 Corinthians 16:13 and the call to be on guard, stand firm, be courageous, be strong, and do everything in love • Stop waiting for permission to be strong SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

A good father does not correct a child he has given up on. He corrects the one he is still invested in — the one he delights in. This episode is a conversation with Preston Morrison about what God's correction actually is, why it is one of the clearest signs of His love, and how to respond when you feel that prompting that something is off. In this episode: Proverbs 3 — the Lord disciplines those He loves, as a father the son He delights inWhy correction from God sounds nothing like condemnation from the enemyWhat God's wrath in Romans 1 actually is — and why most people misread itWhat it feels like when the Holy Spirit corrects you — even in the smallest momentsWhy the faster you are grieved by what grieves God the closer you are to HimDon't run from correction — run toward it like the buffalo in the stormRepentance — teshuvah, metanoia, and what Jesus meant in Mark 1 SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

Jesus did not die for followers. He did not die for servants. He died to restore our friendship with God — and we have to come back to the table. This episode is a conversation with Preston Morrison about what it looks like to re-dig the old wells, tear down what is competing with God, and return to the simple things that have always carried the presence of God.

Spiritual formation is an intentional process of being transformed into Christ-likeness — for the sake of others. That last phrase is what the church has quietly dropped. This episode is a rich, theologically deep conversation with Pastor Michael Koulianos about what formation was always meant to be, why the self has become the center of so much Christian practice, and how the cross reorders everything. In this episode: Why the current obsession with personality, calling, and passion is a sign of expressive individualism making its way into the churchFind a church and stay there — Eugene Peterson's one line that reframes everything about how we approach communityThe vine and the branches — why severing anything God is doing from the Lord Himself turns it into an idolPre-fall Adam was not self-aware — he was enamored with God, and that is what formation is recoveringWhy Jesus does not give life — He gives Himself, and in giving Himself He gives lifeAngela's honest testimony of being platformed before she was rooted and what kept her tethered to JesusThe Christian life includes you but it is not about you SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

Pastor Michael Koulianos has been in rooms where the Holy Spirit moved in ways that could not be explained, manufactured, or replicated. He has also been in rooms where everything was tried and nothing happened. This episode is a conversation about the difference — what revival actually is, what produces it, and why the church in the West is so hungry for something she has largely stopped making room for. In this episode: • The Holy Spirit is a person not a force — and that distinction changes everything • You can grieve the Holy Spirit — what that means practically and why most of us do it without realizing • Pastor Michael's personal story — how an encounter with the Holy Spirit redirected the entire trajectory of his life • What it looks like when the Holy Spirit actually moves vs. when it is manufactured enthusiasm • Revival is not an event — it is what happens when the people of God return to their first love • What the church needs to recover right now and what Pastor Michael believes God is stirring • How to position yourself and your community to make room for the Holy Spirit SPONSORS & SUPPORT This podcast is a nonprofit.

The Lord's Prayer is not a prayer you pray — it is a school you attend. Every line is a classroom teaching you something about who God is, who you are, and what you actually need. This episode walks through the full framework of the Lord's Prayer alongside a practical theology of prayer for anyone who has ever wanted to pray more but did not know where to start.

Making disciples does not mean getting people to pray a prayer and tick a box on belief. It means immersing them in the character of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the way you live — and then teaching them the patterns of life that flow out of believing the right things.

Wearing your body down is not a badge of how hard you are working for Jesus. It is a sign that something has gone wrong. This episode makes the case that your body is a spiritual reality — not a machine to manage — and that how you sleep, eat, rest, and move is an act of worship just as much as anything that happens on Sunday morning. In this episode: • The Gnostic lie the church has inherited — physical bad, spiritual good — and why it is not biblical • Why your body carries the weight of unprocessed emotion and trauma • The three major factors of soul health relative to the body: diet, exercise, and rest • Darren's story of bleeding internally at 29 — and what it took to realize his body was not the enemy • Angela's story of panic attacks, disordered eating, and learning what her body was actually saying • Why Sabbath is not about doing nothing — it is about learning to receive being loved for no good reason • What it means to steward your body as an offering to the Lord rather than an idol to perfect SPONSORS This series is brought to you with the support of the New International Version (NIV) — the Bible translation we use when reading, studying, and preaching.

Love is not a feeling first. Joy is not happiness. Patience is not passive waiting. And kindness is not just being nice. This episode walks through the fruit of the Spirit as the actual markers of a healthy soul — redefining each one from the ground up with Pastor Bill Dogterom, in a conversation that will quietly wreck you in the best way. In this episode: • Love as the environment the soul was made to swim in • Joy as the energy cell — what enables endurance through the hardest seasons • Shalom as pervasive wellbeing independent of circumstances • Kindness as mercy and goodness as grace — the two most powerful forces for transformation in the universe • Why the fruit of the Spirit are warfare characteristics not Hallmark card virtues • The hardest part of the Christian life is not suffering — it is receiving good things without running off like a kid with a popsicle SPONSORS This series is brought to you with the support of the New International Version (NIV) — the Bible translation we use when reading, studying, and preaching.

You are a soul, not someone who has one.

In this episode: • What a soul is — Genesis 2 and the Hebrew word nefesh • The five dimensions of the soul: physical, spiritual, social, mental, emotional • Why your body is not separate from your worship •  Discipleship is making friends for Jesus • How to discover your primary window to God SPONSORS This series is brought to you with the support of the New International Version (NIV) — the Bible translation we use when reading and studying the Bible, as well as for preaching.

The first time worship is mentioned in the Bible, a father is asked to offer his only son on an altar. That single scene in Genesis 22 becomes the archetype for everything worship means for the rest of Scripture. This episode traces that thread through Leviticus, Romans 12, and Revelation 4, and makes the case that knowing what worship actually is changes everything about how you live it. In this episode: • Genesis 22 and the principle of first mention — why the first time a word appears in Scripture sets the pattern for everything after • Why Abraham's response of worship is wholehearted trust, not naive obedience • Leviticus and the sacrificial system — why every sacrifice was about drawing near to God, not earning his favor • Living sacrifices crawl off the altar — a practical framework for noticing what has quietly stopped being an offering to God • The difference between worship songs and Christian music — and why that distinction matters more than people think • Lindy's story from the mission field with Heidi Baker — when nothing in her toolkit worked except knowing who Jesus is • Revelation 4 and the throne room of heaven — what is actually at the center of all reality SPONSOR This series is brought to you with the support of Logos Bible Software — the tool all three of us use when studying Scripture.
