  • What Christians Get Wrong About Spiritual Oppression [Featuring Dr. Neil Anderson]

    What Christians Get Wrong About Spiritual Oppression [Featuring Dr. Neil Anderson]
    Feb 21 2025
    The Bible says, "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." We have an adversary that seeks to threaten, intimidate, and frighten us. The Church needs to be aware of this ongoing battle with evil, how it manifests in the physical realm, and more importantly, how we can overcome it. Dr. Neil Anderson, author of "The Bondage Breaker" and "The Steps to Freedom in Christ," joins Pastor Allen in this episode to help Christians understand what spiritual oppression looks like and how we can exercise the authority we have in Christ over demonic spirits.

    Should the White House Have a 'Faith Office'? [Featuring Dr. Carol Swain]
    Feb 14 2025
    The hidden agendas and failures of government and educational institutions are being exposed. Instead of being taught to think critically, Americans are often encouraged to accept the narratives pushed by mainstream media or 'professionals' with political agendas. Dr. Carol Swain, an author, public speaker, and retired political science and law professor at Vanderbilt University, joins Pastor Allen in this podcast. She offers insight on what is currently taking place with the Department of Education, the impact of President Trump's executive orders, and her new book, "The Gay Affair: Harvard, Plagiarism, and the Death of Academic Integrity."

  • Trump's Triumph & the Church's Cowardice

    Trump's Triumph & the Church's Cowardice
    Feb 7 2025
    Now that President Trump is in the White House, change is coming at a rapid magnitude and speed as his policies upend DEI initiatives, transgenderism, the border crisis, and more. Instead of sitting back and watching the news unfold—or trusting in a politician to solve our problems—it's time for the Church to address the challenges we face in our nation with God's truth. In this episode, Pastor Allen discusses what we can learn from President Trump's first few weeks in office and calls the Church to rise to their assignment of being salt and light in our generation.

  • The ONE Habit That Will Change Your Life [Featuring Dave Embry]

    The ONE Habit That Will Change Your Life [Featuring Dave Embry]
    Jan 24 2025
    What happens when you begin to read the Bible every day? Pastor Allen sat down with his good friend, Dave Embry, to discuss how daily Bible reading significantly altered his life. While it may seem like reading about the historic wars, battles, and personal conflicts in Scripture has no significance to how we live out our faith today, Embry explains how it increases your understanding of God and His purposes for you. “Jesus says, 'If my words abide in you, then you are my true disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.' What is the opposite of free? Bondage,” Embry explained. “Do we want to be in bondage? That gives me the incentive to want to be in the Word of God. How else can I get His words to abide in me if I'm not in His Word?" Is it possible to know God intimately if we do not know His Word? Does it matter if we read the Bible daily or sporadically? Why is reading the Word of God so important? In this podcast, you’ll discover the answers to these questions and how God brought healing, hope, and transformation to Dave Embry's life through one simple, daily practice: Bible reading.

  • Lead Rock Singer Boldly Proclaims Jesus’ Love [Featuring Brad Arnold]

    Lead Rock Singer Boldly Proclaims Jesus’ Love [Featuring Brad Arnold]
    Jan 10 2025
    Brad Arnold, the lead singer of the rock band 3 Doors Down, went from battling alcoholism to finding hope through rehab, prayer, and the guidance of legendary Country Musician Charlie Daniels. Brad opens up about how his faith began to play a central role in his life, especially during his concerts, where he chooses to boldly proclaim the message of Jesus' love to his audience. "I've always tried to make songs that help people through situations—to help them acknowledge that 'Jesus loves me.' That's the most powerful thing in the world, to know that Jesus loves you. I know that I have a very short window before people start shutting down, and people aren't at a rock show to be preached at, but I want to share that with them." Brad's story is one of grace, redemption, and hope, showing that no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve gone through, there’s always a chance to find joy and healing.

  • 10 Keys to Cultivating Intentional Faith

    10 Keys to Cultivating Intentional Faith
    Jan 3 2025
    Beginning a new year is the perfect time to reflect on how we can lead our lives with intentional faith. "I think we oftentimes imagine faith as a passive thing, and I don't accept that definition. I think faith has to be lived out. It has to be demonstrated to be real," Pastor Allen stated. In this podcast, Pastor Allen gives us 10 practical ways we can intentionally live out our faith in our homes, communities, workplaces, and beyond. Faith is not about worshiping with the right music, reading the right Bible version, or memorizing the right verses. It’s about making daily decisions that honor God and being obedient to His Word. Whether we're experiencing times of joy or struggle, cultivating an intentional faith will shape our behaviors, habits, and choices in every situation.
