Hostages cannot save themselves. They wait. They ache. They fight panic, hoping someone believes their life is worth rescuing. Many of us live in invisible prisons, but God sees our captivity. The Bible tells the story of a God who does not ignore captives, who does not stay silent in suffering. Join host Merrick in this episode as he reveals a God who doesn’t negotiate with darkness, but storms enemy territory as a Warrior-Liberator to bring His people home.

Recently, the unusual comet 3I/ATLAS entered our Solar System. Its strange composition and trajectory have led some scientists to wonder: could it be an alien probe? If travelers like 3I/ATLAS can reach us from distant stars, what else—or who else—might be out there? Join host Merrick Brown as he explores how, while science searches for extraterrestrial life, the Bible reveals we are not alone in the universe.

Halloween is that time of year when the world openly celebrates darkness. People dress as monsters, ghosts, witches, and vampires, and it all seems like harmless fun. But what if the greatest trick of all isn’t what we see on Halloween? What if the real deception isn’t in the ghosts, the horror movies, or the haunted houses? Join host Merrick Brown in this episode as he uncovers a shocking truth about the world we live in.

Every year, as Halloween approaches, the world turns its gaze toward death—streets glow with jack-o’-lanterns, homes are draped in cobwebs and tombstones, and people dress as ghosts and skeletons. Yet beneath the costumes and candy lies a haunting question no mask can hide: What really happens when we die? Do some go to heaven while others descend to hell, or do the dead linger among us as wandering spirits? Join host Merrick Brown as he uncovers what the Bible truly reveals about death, the afterlife, and the resurrected hope found in Jesus Christ.

Hope is more than wishful thinking or simply telling yourself that everything will be okay. True hope runs deeper. It gives us the ability to envision a future beyond pain, loss, and the chaos of life. In times like these, we desperately need that kind of hope. Too often, however, we place our hope in things that inevitably disappoint. Join host Merrick Brown in this episode as he explores a hope that never fails.

We’ve all had people in our lives who have wronged us, who’ve wounded us so deeply that they became, in our story, the enemy. In those moments when your blood runs hot, when your heart cries out for payback, when every part of you aches for revenge, Jesus steps into the center of your rage and dares to say: Love your enemies. How is this even possible? Join host Merrick Brown in this inspiring episode as he reveals how God makes it possible to love even those who have hurt us most.

What if you woke up tomorrow and found out you had only 24 hours left to live? What would you do first? How would you spend your final moments? What would truly matter most? Would you look back and see a life of meaning, or regret missed opportunities? In this episode, host Merrick Brown reminds us that life is fleeting, unpredictable, and fragile, and the most important decision we can make today is to secure our eternal destiny.

Our lives often don’t go the way we plan. We settle into comfortable, predictable routines that feel safe and cozy, but then come the interruptions. These may be sudden losses, unexpected opportunities, or detours that feel inconvenient and even painful. In this episode, join host Merrick Brown as he shares how life’s interruptions can actually be invitations from God to grow, awaken, and be transformed.
