The State of The Church: Holiness | Unfiltered with Stephen and Lydia
Is the church more known than ever, but less holy than ever?
In this week's convicting episode, Stephen and Lydia tackle the topic most churches are avoiding: holiness. We didn't lose holiness because we stopped believing in it - we lost it because we replaced it.
We trace how we went from the altar to the platform, from shepherds to celebrities, and from self-denial to self-promotion. We call out the celebrity altar in the pulpit, the platform-driven church, and the influencer culture that has discipled a generation to go viral but not to live set apart.
This isn't about dress codes or religious rules. This is about biblical holiness - being set apart, other, and usable for God.
We get into:
• What holiness actually means (and what it doesn't)
• How the fear of man killed the fear of the Lord in our pulpits
• Why celebrity Christianity can never produce holy people
• How we tear down the celebrity altar and rebuild the altar of consecration
Hebrews 12:14 says without holiness, no man shall see the Lord. If the world is going to see Jesus in us, holiness has to make a comeback.
This one will challenge pastors, leaders, and anyone who has mistaken influence for anointing.
Scriptures: Leviticus 20:26, Isaiah 6:3, 1 Peter 1:15-16, Hebrews 12:14, Romans 12:1, Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew 23:12

Peter is not playing nice anymore. this is his final warning before he dies and he is not holding back. he looks at the church and sees fake teachers, greedy leaders, and people who know the truth but choose to live dirty anyway.
this letter is not soft. peter calls them out for what they are. he says judgment is coming, it is not slow, it is already on its way. he reminds you that god did not spare the angels, he did not spare the flood, he will not spare the fakes who twist grace into an excuse to sin.
if you think you can live however you want and still claim Jesus, peter says you are blind, you are a dog returning to its vomit, you are a washed pig going back to the mud. This episode is about urgency. Jesus is coming back and he is not coming back to negotiate. stop playing games with your faith. stop tolerating what is killing you. get right, stay holy, and remember that god keeps his promises, both to save and to judge. this is peter's final warning. listen to it like your life depends on it, because it does.

In Episode 14 of UNFILTERED, we get real about what no one wants to talk about — the church is asleep while prophecy is unfolding right in front of us. The leaves are falling off the tree. Headlines in America, Europe, and the Middle East are lining up with Matthew 24 and 2 Timothy 3. This isn't a conspiracy episode. It's a wake-up call. We talk about:
• Why Jesus said we wouldn't know the day or hour, but we WOULD know the season
• The greatest threat to the American Church — not the devil, but the pulpit preaching a cotton-candy gospel
• The parable of the 10 virgins and why so many are about to be caught without oil
• Persecution in Africa and the Middle East vs. self-inflicted persecution in America through drama, division, and distraction
• What it actually means to multiply disciples, not just church-goers
We are right at the very end. This is the hour to repent, wake up, stay faithful, preach the truth, and abide in Christ completely. No more playing church.
The hourglass is almost empty. Is the Bride ready?

In this episode, we take a step back and re-introduce the heart behind the podcast why we started, what UNFILTERED really means, and where God is taking us next. If you're new here, this is the perfect place to start. If you've been with us since EP. 1, welcome home. We talk about faith in the real world, honest conversations, and creating space for the questions we don't always get to ask in church.
Pull up a chair and join the conversation.

We want a God who comforts us on Sunday, but doesn't confront us on Monday.
In this episode, we break down the difference between a faith where Jesus is actually Lord, and a faith where He's just an accessory. What does it really mean that God is sovereign - not just powerful, but in charge? And why does that one belief kill casual Christianity completely? We're talking about lordship vs. preference, obedience vs. convenience, and why so many of us are tired of a faith that costs us nothing. If your Christianity isn't costing you anything, is it even Christianity?

Joy doesn't come after suffering. For James and Paul, joy is found in it.
In this personal episode, we wrestle with one of the hardest commands in Scripture — "consider it pure joy" — and discover that James and Paul aren't contradicting each other, they're completing each other.
James shows us the process: trials test our faith, testing produces perseverance, and perseverance makes us mature and complete.
Paul shows us the purpose: that same perseverance produces character, and character produces a hope that will never put us to shame.
If you're in the middle of a hard season right now, this episode is for you.

CHURCH HURT. Let's talk about it.

The place that was supposed to heal you is the place that broke you. The people who were supposed to cover you talked about you. The leaders who were supposed to protect you used you. We’re not sugarcoating it anymore. This episode is raw. We’re calling out spiritual manipulation, fake love, cliques in the church, leadership with no accountability, and why so many people are bleeding out while still sitting in the pews. If you’ve ever been ghosted by your church family, preached at instead of loved, or left the building and almost left God — this episode is for YOU. We got hurt in the church, but we didn’t lose our faith.
