Bishop John Carter CCOG: How A Church Honors Its Past And Moves On

2026-11-0248:49

Send us Fan Mail A 100-year anniversary can feel like a finish line, but we’re treating it like a starting gun. We talk about what it means to honor the faithful without getting stuck in the past, and why “Faithful and Forward” is more than a theme, it’s a spiritual decision. If you’ve ever felt pulled backward by nostalgia, old wounds, or old labels, this message names that struggle and points to a real way out. We ask a bold question that goes beyond one local church: can Pentecost survive...

The Cross Was Not Comfortable

2026-10-2537:51

Send us Fan Mail The most dangerous lie we believe about faith is that God will only call us to what feels safe. We open with a blunt statement that cuts through comfortable religion: the cross was not comfortable, so why do we expect our calling to be? From the start, we push past the feel-good version of Christianity and get honest about what it means to follow a crucified Savior when obedience stretches our nerves, our schedule, and our pride. We walk through key Bible passages that frame...

John and Dee. Peace After Years Of Chains

2026-10-1201:20:03

Send us Fan Mail Chains do not always look like chains, sometimes they look like habits you cannot quit, anger you cannot control, or shame you cannot outrun. John joins us with a raw Christian testimony that starts in Luke 8 with Legion and lands in real life: years of drugs, trouble, jail, and the feeling of being tormented from the inside. Then he tells the turning point, the moment he finally chose Jesus and stopped looking back. We talk about what happens after salvation too, because fr...

Seven more days.

2026-10-0727:47

Send us Fan Mail Seven days. That’s all God said was left before the rain started, and Genesis 7:4 shows it so plainly that it’s almost unsettling. We slow down and look at the Noah story with fresh eyes, because the ark wasn’t just a dramatic rescue scene, it was a visible invitation with an open door, and the tragedy is that nobody moved until it was too late. We connect that overlooked detail to Jesus’ warning in Matthew 24:37, “as the days of Noah were,” and we ask what it means for our ...

Breaking Spiritual Rebellion

2026-09-2726:14

Send us Fan Mail Division rarely announces itself. It starts like a wedge, small enough to ignore, then it splits a marriage, a family, a church, and eventually your peace. JD gets personal and direct about why “a house divided cannot stand,” and why unity in the Body of Christ is not optional when we’re trying to live faithful Christian lives in noisy, chaotic times. We connect the dots between God’s order for the home, repentance that starts close to us, and the way modern culture normaliz...
