  • Answering the SPICIEST Questions About Marriage, S3X, and Gender Roles | Live Free with Josh Howerton
    Feb 23 2026
    In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastor Josh Howerton and Jana Howerton dive into one of the most culturally controversial and biblically clear topics: God’s design for marriage. They unpack the theological foundation of headship and helpership from Genesis 2 and Ephesians 5, explaining why loving leadership and respectful support are not oppressive ideas, but protective ones. Rather than competing roles, Scripture presents marriage as a complementary covenant designed for strength, stability, and spiritual growth. The conversation moves into practical and often avoided topics including sexual integrity before and within marriage, emotional boundaries with the opposite sex, in-law dynamics, divorce and restoration, and how trust is rebuilt after betrayal. With clarity and conviction, they show how obedience to God’s Word—not cultural trends—leads to peace and flourishing in the home. In this episode, you’ll learn: What the Bible actually teaches about headship and submission Why “helper” is a position of strength, not weakness How words shape the health of your marriage The difference between loving leadership and passive abdication Why sexual boundaries protect covenant intimacy When divorce is biblically permitted — and when restoration is possible 💬 Comment HAT for this week’s giveaway 📲 Text MARRIAGE to 20411 for your next step 🧢 Visit LiveFree.shop for merch

  • Christian Pastors Debate Bad Bunny Half Time Show!? | Live Free with Josh Howerton
    Feb 16 2026
    In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham tackle one of the most debated theological questions in Christianity: Does the Bible actually teach predestination? They walk through key Scriptures, clarify common misconceptions, and explain why God’s sovereignty and human responsibility are not enemies. Rather than dividing believers, a right understanding of this doctrine should strengthen confidence in evangelism and deepen trust in God’s character. The conversation then moves to Luke 15 and the heart of the Father in the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and lost sons, unpacking the cultural background, exposing the danger of “older brother” religion, and offering practical tools for reaching the “one more” in your life through prayer, everyday conversations, and the B.L.E.S.S. method. The episode closes with cultural analysis around the Bad Bunny Super Bowl controversy, showing how Christians can stand firm in truth while still reflecting God’s compassion for lost people made in His image. In this episode, you’ll learn: What the Bible really teaches about predestination Why sovereignty and evangelism are not enemies The powerful context behind Luke 15’s parables How to know if you’re drifting into “older brother” syndrome A practical framework for helping someone take one step closer to Jesus How to respond to culture with clarity and compassion 💬 Comment HAT for this week’s giveaway 🧢 Visit LiveFree.shop for merch 📲 Text APP to 20411 for the Lakepointe app

  • Megachurch Pastor Reacts to James Talarico's INSANE Claims on ABORTION!? | Live Free with Josh Howerton
    Feb 11 2026
    Did Jesus stay silent on abortion and homosexuality, or are progressive politicians twisting Scripture to fit a modern agenda? In this LIVE FREE reaction video, Pastor Josh Howerton responds directly to James Talarico’s viral claims on Joe Rogan that Jesus “never talked about” homosexuality or abortion and that Christians have made these issues central for political reasons. Walking carefully through Scripture, this episode dismantles the argument from silence, explains why Jesus’ affirmation of Genesis defines marriage clearly, and shows how the New Testament directly addresses sexual ethics and the sanctity of life. If you’ve heard these talking points online and felt confused, this is the biblical clarity you’ve been looking for. You’ll learn: Why “Jesus never said it” is a weak theological argument How Matthew 19 defines marriage and excludes modern redefinitions Why Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 6 directly address homosexuality Whether abortion is truly absent from biblical teaching How cultural pressure reshapes theology and how to resist it Why the real issue is the authority of Scripture and the Lordship of Christ This isn’t about politics. It’s about truth. 👉 Subscribe for weekly conversations on faith, culture, and biblical clarity 📱 Download the Lakepointe Church App: Text APP to 20411 Stand firm. Think biblically. Live free.
