Today we’re stepping into a timely and necessary conversation. We’re calling this episode Beware the Craze – Not Being Deceived by the New Popular Trend of “Becoming Christian”. In recent years, and especially ramping up through 2024 and into 2025, we’ve seen a wave of high-profile figures—celebrities, influencers, and public personalities—publicly proclaiming faith in Jesus Christ. Names like Russell Brand, Shia LaBeouf, Candace Owens, Grimes, Nala Ray, and others have shared stories of turning to Christianity, often in dramatic ways that make headlines and spark widespread excitement.

Today we turn to one of the most influential thinkers and spiritual writers in all of Christian history: Saint Augustine of Hippo. Born in 354 and dying in 430, Augustine’s life spans the late Roman Empire’s turbulent transition. His journey from a brilliant but wayward youth, through years of intellectual wandering and moral struggle, to a profound conversion and eventual bishopric, is captured in his masterpiece, Confessions—often called the first Western autobiography. It’s a raw, honest memoir of sin, grace, and the restless human heart that finds peace only in God.

If you’ve ever felt like the moment you committed your life to Jesus, the battles intensified—temptations grew stronger, trials multiplied, and doubts assailed you—this message is for you. We’ll explore why Satan targets those who pose a threat to his kingdom, how struggles with temptations and passions often ramp up as we draw closer to God, and why these very struggles are a profound blessing in disguise. We’ll draw wisdom from Scripture, particularly the Book of James, and hear from the Christian saints, desert fathers, and monks who’ve illuminated this path for centuries. My prayer is that by the end, you’ll be comforted, encouraged, and equipped to see your battles not as failures, but as signs of your growing victory in Christ. So, settle in, open your Bibles, and let’s journey together from the dawn of understanding to the doctrine that sustains us.

Good day, everyone, and welcome to the sixteenth episode of “Journey Through The Bible.” Today, we continue our educational journey by exploring the Book of Enoch (also known as 1 Enoch), the next book in our progression, keep in mind we are pulling from the oldest known version of the bible, The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Bible. This is the oldest known to man version of scripture untouched by western influence and contains alot of books most denominations consider unbiblical, however the reasoning for taking these books out is more political than anything, and if you want the truth you need to go way back before the time of political influence.

Our main focus is the resurfacing Tim Walz “Satan plaque” story that’s blowing up again in January 2026, tying into his “tampon law” and broader cultural decay. Then we’ll expand on other major headlines with the detail they deserve—no quick hits, no rushing through. Because every story matters in this spiritual battle. Let’s get into it, and yeah, we’ll crack a joke or two at the enemy’s expense—because Scripture says to resist the devil, and laughter is one way to do it.

This week, we’re diving into the fires raging in Argentina with whispers of foreign intrigue, an uprising in Iran that’s got the fingerprints of old enemies all over it, updates from Venezuela’s power vacuum, global military maneuvers that scream “World War 3 prep,” and rising civil unrest right here in America with ICE at the center. We’ll tie it all back to biblical prophecy, peel back the conspiracy layers without losing our footing in faith, and end with a call to prayer and discernment. Let’s get into it.

Good morning, friends, and welcome to the very first episode of From Dawn to Doctrine: Unscripted. Where we embark on a journey through the headlines of our world—not to sow fear, but to shine the light of Scripture on the shadows. In these uncertain times, as the dawn breaks on another week of global upheaval, we remember the words of Psalm 46: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.”

This show is about viewing current events through an orthodox Christian lens—conservative in our fidelity to timeless truths, yet calling all to repentance and unity in Christ, without division or condemnation. We’ll cover the big stories from around the world and here at home, unpacking them biblically, exploring hidden motivations that echo through history, and always pointing back to the hope of Christ’s return. No despair here, only a reminder: this world is not our home. We’re pilgrims, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).

This week has been seismic, from dramatic shifts in Latin America to rising tensions on our own streets, and simmering conflicts across the globe. We’ll dive in, but first, let’s pray: Heavenly Father, grant us wisdom to discern the times, courage to speak truth, and hearts full of hope in Your sovereign plan. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Today we explore one of the most beloved figures in Christian history: Saint Francis of Assisi. Known as the Poverello—the Little Poor Man—Francis radically embraced the Gospel, founding orders that transformed the Church, receiving the sacred stigmata, and composing poetry that praises God through all creation. His life is a tapestry of joy, suffering, conversion, and profound love for Christ and His creatures.
