From the beginning of creation, God established rest as a divine pattern when He rested on the seventh day in the Book of Genesis, revealing that rest is part of His design for our lives. Our bodies heal and restore while we sleep, showing that physical rest reflects a deeper spiritual truth—trusting God instead of striving. From the Sabbath to Jesus’ invitation in the Gospel of Matthew 11:28 and the promise of rest in the Epistle to the Hebrews 4, Scripture shows that rest is both a command and a gift, and God calls us to walk in His rhythm of peace and surrender.
In this bonus clip, I break down the biblical difference between receiving the Holy Spirit and being baptized (filled) with the Holy Spirit. While every believer receives the Spirit at salvation, Scripture also reveals a distinct empowerment that comes through the baptism of the Holy Spirit for boldness, witness, and effective ministry.
THE LAYING ON OF HANDS

THE LAYING ON OF HANDS

2025-12-2327:26

The laying on of hands is a biblical practice through which God releases blessing, healing, impartation, and commissioning, seen throughout Scripture in the ministry of Jesus and the early Church. In this video, we briefly explore its biblical foundation, what happens spiritually during this act of faith, and why obedience, authority, and discernment matter for believers today.
The enemy works through heightened imaginations and satanic suggestions—subtle thoughts meant to plant fear, confusion, and deception. These are symptoms of witchcraft that try to pull your mind away from the truth of God’s Word. We must cast down every thought and imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and guard our minds with His peace.
In this episode, the difference between God’s divine will and His permissive will is discussed—two realities that every believer encounters at some point in their walk with Christ. God’s divine will represents His perfect plan, the path of obedience and purpose that leads to His best for our lives. His permissive will, however, allows us to make choices outside that perfect plan—sometimes painful ones that He still uses to teach, shape, and redirect us. Join me as we unpack how to recognize which will you’re walking in, how to align your life with God’s perfect will, and why even Jesus Himself submitted to the Father’s will in Gethsemane.
Have you ever wondered if something as common as a tattoo could carry more weight than just ink on skin? In this teaching I share what I discovered about the spiritual side of getting tattooed. It includes stories, scripture and a few questions to pray over. Watch with an open heart; what looks harmless at first may reveal deeper ties you weren’t expecting.
In this short clip, I expose the deception behind the false gospel of Islam. Muhammad claimed to receive revelation from an angel of light, but Scripture warns us that Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). The truth is, Islam denies Jesus as the Son of God and rejects the finished work of the cross. Any gospel that does not proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is a false gospel (Galatians 1:8–9).
A DIFFERENT JESUS

A DIFFERENT JESUS

2025-09-0815:29

In this episode, I expose the dangers of false teachings and the deception of those who preach “a different Jesus.” The Bible warns us about false prophets and doctrines that twist the truth of Christ to lead people astray (2 Corinthians 11:4, Galatians 1:6–9). Many voices today speak in the name of Jesus, but not all are pointing to the true Son of God revealed in Scripture.Join me as I unpack what the Word of God says about recognizing counterfeit gospels and standing firm in the truth. The real Jesus still saves, heals, and delivers but the enemy is working overtime to distort who He is. Don’t be deceived.
FAITH FROM WITHIN

FAITH FROM WITHIN

2025-08-1826:24

Does faith originate in the mind, the heart, or in the human spirit? Every person needs a spiritual understanding of who God is, and not just an intellectual belief. In this episode, we explore the depth of true faith, beyond head knowledge into a living encounter with God that transforms the heart and awakens the spirit. It’s about moving from information to revelation, from religion to relationship, and from belief to trust in the One who calls us His own.
GOING BACK TO CALVARY

GOING BACK TO CALVARY

2025-08-1120:36

Take a journey back to the foot of the cross, remembering the costly price Jesus paid for our salvation. It’s a call to renew our joy in what He has done, to rekindle the wonder of grace, and to reflect on where our faith began. Amid the noise of life, we pause to remember the heart of the Gospel. The love, sacrifice, and victory found only in Christ. This is an invitation to return to the place where it all started… Calvary.
To please the Lord, we need to keep His commandments. And when we are living according to God's divine will, we can feel a sense of sweet rest and peace in the Spirit. In this episode, Alex teaches about pleasing God, walking in faith and sensing God's peace spiritually.
In this episode, we dive into the powerful unity Jesus speaks of in His prayer from John 17, a prayer not only for His disciples but for all believers. Jesus declares, "I in them and You in Me," revealing the deep connection between Himself and the Father, and inviting us into that same oneness through the Holy Spirit.Join me as we explore what it means to be united with Christ and with one another as the body of Christ. This episode unpacks the spiritual mystery and practical reality of walking in unity, love, and shared purpose, just as Jesus and the Father are one.Whether you're seeking a deeper relationship with God or a greater understanding of Christian community, this message is a reminder that we were never meant to walk alone.
More is caught than taught when it come to spiritual matters. We can learn about God by reading His word or through teachings, but if the Spirit doesn't give us revelation regarding his word and his ways there's only so much we'll understand.
HELP MY UNBELIEF!

HELP MY UNBELIEF!

2025-03-2022:49

Have you ever felt like unbelief was rising up to snuff out your faith? Have you ever drawn near to Jesus but as you did doubts came rushing in? Well, if you've experienced this you're not alone. The man who brought his son to Jesus in Mark chapter 9 found out firsthand that a small measure of faith can produce miraculous results. The key is getting real with God about our hang ups and asking him to teach us his ways.
My new book THE RECKLESS PURSUIT is now available! This book is a detailed account of my life and testimony. It's truly a story of God's relentless love and grace. Listen to the clip for more details.
Did you know that prophecies about the coming Messiah (Jesus) can be found throughout the entire Bible? God has a way of leaving clues that are a lot like puzzle pieces. One clue won't reveal the entire picture but as the pieces are brought together they begin to create a clearer image.
Alex shares a personal story of a season in which he found himself in a deep depression that nearly caused him to take his own life. Instead of listening to the thoughts that would lead to his demise, he chose to cry out to God and was set free. Listen for inspiration and also for his closing prayer over those who are still struggling.
A STORM OF THOUGHTS

A STORM OF THOUGHTS

2025-01-1631:48

Are you mentally oppressed or tormented? Are you experiencing difficulty in controlling patterns of thought that are entering and dominating your mind? It may just be that you're on the verge of a breakthrough but the enemy is resisting you, because he knows that an encounter with Jesus could change your life forever.
IN JESUS NAME

IN JESUS NAME

2024-12-1825:03

Why should we pray in Jesus name? Does praying in Jesus name make a greater impact? As a new believer I asked these kinds of questions. This teaching will help you to understand the power of Jesus name. Jesus told His disciples that in His name they'd cast out demons, that in His name they'd lay hands on the sick and the sick would recover. That in His name they would raise the dead and speak in new tongues. Jesus acts according to His authority and He is able to respond to our requests because His authority is limitless.
I WILL MANIFEST MYSELF

I WILL MANIFEST MYSELF

2024-11-2621:11

Jesus tells his disciples in John 14:21 that he will manifest himself to them. He wanted them to know that they would see him after his resurrection. Jesus manifests himself to us in many different ways and forms. In this episode I speak about some of the ways Jesus has manifested himself to me. He wants every one to encounter his power and presence.
