🎙️ Beyond the Church Walls: Unfiltered Faith
This isn’t polished religion. This is lived faith.
Hosted by Evelyn Ello—nurse, ministry leader, and a woman redeemed by grace after walking through real fire—Unfiltered Faith is where Scripture is opened honestly, truth is spoken boldly, and Jesus is lifted without compromise.
Each week, we take the conversations happening in our Tuesday night in-person Bible studies and bring them straight to you. We dig deep into the Word, wrestle with hard questions, confront cultural lies, and talk about what following Jesus really looks like outside of church buildings and Sunday routines.
This podcast is for the weary believer, the hungry disciple, the skeptic with questions, and the one finding their way back to God after life knocked them flat. No pretending. No surface-level faith. Just biblical truth, real repentance, real hope, and real transformation.
🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday.
Come as you are—but don’t expect to stay the same.
Let’s go beyond the walls, together.

    This week on Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, Evelyn steps away from the regular Bible study recap for a bonus conversation about money, contentment, and biblical stewardship.

    We hear it all the time: “Our parents and grandparents could raise a family on one income, while families today struggle on two.”

    There is truth in that. Housing, groceries, insurance, healthcare, taxes, and everyday living costs have become real burdens for many families.

    But are we always comparing apples to apples?

    Our lifestyles, expectations, conveniences, spending habits, and definition of “necessity” have also changed.

    This episode isn’t about shaming people who are struggling or pretending the economy isn’t difficult. It’s about asking a personal question:

    Am I being faithful with what God has placed in my hands?

    Evelyn talks about wants versus needs, delayed gratification, debt, comparison, saving, generosity, contentment, and learning to manage our resources with wisdom.

    Scriptures discussed:
    Luke 16:10
    1 Timothy 6:6
    Proverbs 21:20
    Proverbs 22:7
    Luke 12:15
    James 1:5
    2 Corinthians 9:7
    Hebrews 13:5

    Beyond the Church Walls Bible Study resumes Wednesday, October 14, as we begin Matthew chapter 8. Regular Bible study recap episodes return the following Saturday.

    We’ve reached the end of Matthew 7—and the end of the Sermon on the Mount.

    We’ve reached the end of Matthew 7—and the end of the Sermon on the Mount.

    In this solo episode of Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, Evelyn recaps our Wednesday night Bible study through Matthew 7:13–29.

    We talk about the narrow gate, false prophets, spiritual fruit versus spiritual gifting, the sobering words “Lord, Lord,” hearing versus doing, the thief on the cross, and Jesus’ final picture of the wise and foolish builders.

    Through it all, one question keeps coming back:

    What are we doing with what Jesus has said?

    It’s possible to hear the Word, know Christian language, and even look spiritual from the outside—but Jesus continually brings us back to what is real underneath it all: relationship, obedience, fruit, and foundation.

    Scriptures discussed: Matthew 7:13–29, Galatians 5:22–23, James 1:22–25, Matthew 22:37–40, Luke 23:39–43, and 1 Corinthians 3:11.

    Schedule Update

    There will be no Wednesday night Bible Study on October 7, but we WILL have a new episode of Unfiltered Faith with a surprise bonus topic. 👀🎙️

    Bible Study resumes Wednesday, October 14, when we begin Matthew chapter 8, and our regular Bible Study recap episodes will resume the following Saturday.

    Stay in the Word. Keep your heart teachable. And keep building your life on Jesus Christ.

    Treasure, Trust, Discernment, and the Good Father — Matthew 6:19–34 & Matthew 7:1–12
    Sep 26 2026
    Send us Fan MailWe missed last week’s podcast, so this episode of Unfiltered Faith: BTCW brings together two weeks of our Wednesday night Bible study.Host Evelyn and co-host Krystal walk through Matthew 6:19–34 and Matthew 7:1–12, looking at how Jesus’ teaching about treasure, money, worry, judgment, discernment, prayer, and relationships all connects.Evelyn was away in Michigan during the Matthew 6 study, so she shares what stood out as she studied the passage on her own and reviewed what the group covered. Then Evelyn and Krystal move into this week’s discussion of Matthew 7:1–12.In this episode:• Where your treasure is and what it reveals about your heart• The “good eye,” generosity, and holding money with an open hand• Why Jesus says we cannot serve two masters• The correct wording of 1 Timothy 6:10—the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil• Worry, provision, and trusting the Father• What it really means to “seek first the kingdom of God”• Why Matthew 6:33 is not a promise that believers will never experience hardship• What Jesus means by “Judge not”• The plank and the speck• Self-examination and discernment working together• Knowing when someone is ready to receive what you are sharing• Asking ourselves whether we are trying to restore someone—or simply trying to win• “Ask, seek, knock” as ongoing dependence on God• Trusting the goodness of the Father even when His answer is different from what we expected• The Golden Rule• Teaching patterns throughout the Sermon on the Mount• The “Law and the Prophets” framing found in Matthew 5:17 and Matthew 7:12Throughout these passages Jesus keeps taking us deeper than outward behavior.What has my heart?Who am I trusting?What am I trying to control?Why am I saying what I am saying?How am I treating people?And am I allowing God’s Word to examine me before I become focused on what needs to change in somebody else?Matthew 6 teaches us to trust the Father with what we have, what we need, and what tomorrow holds.Matthew 7 reminds us that we also have to trust Him with people.Let the Word work on us first—and then let what God is doing in us show up in the way we live.📖 Primary Scriptures:Matthew 6:19–34Matthew 7:1–12Additional Scriptures discussed include Proverbs 22:9, Deuteronomy 15:9, James 4:14, Philippians 4, and 1 Timothy 6:9–10.All Scripture references are from the New King James Version (NKJV).Unfiltered Faith: BTCWHost: EvelynCo-Host: KrystalBeyond the Church Walls MinistryWe are not pastors, theologians, or Bible scholars.
