Send a text We don’t talk about this enough... but there’s a hidden craving many Christians wrestle with in silence. It’s quiet. It’s powerful. And it’s shaping your heart in ways you might not even notice. In this episode, we break it down: the signs, the real-life impact, and why pretending it doesn’t exist is keeping you stuck. This isn’t about shame. it’s about awareness, confrontation, and stepping into freedom. If you’ve ever felt the pull of something you can’t seem to shake… or if y...

Send a text What if the very thing you think is helping you move forward… is actually the reason you feel stuck? In this episode, we talk about why rushing God often delays the very life He’s preparing you for. Drawing from the story of Israel, the contrast between the Moses generation and the Joshua generation, and Scripture like Joshua 3, we unpack how impatience, self-sufficiency, and presumption quietly lead to years of wandering.

Send a text I did not want to make this episode. I hate clickbait culture. I hate capitalizing on current events. And I hate watching tragedy turned into content. But after months of listening, observing, and being asked nonstop about Candace Owens, Turning Point, and the death of Charlie Kirk, I felt compelled to speak from a biblical perspective. This episode is not about picking sides. It is about Christian ethics, discernment, free speech, and fruit. Scripture tells us to be quick to hear...
Send a text There are moments when God’s answer isn’t yes, isn’t later, isn’t maybe... it’s no. And for most of us, that’s the hardest answer to accept. But in Scripture, especially in 1 Samuel 8, we see something shocking: sometimes God’s no is the most protective, loving, and necessary thing He could ever give us. Israel wanted a king so badly that they didn’t care about the cost. They wanted control, predictability, and their own version of security. And God loved them enough to warn them,...
Send a text Everyone wants a different life in five years. We pray for breakthrough, we set goals, we read books, we cut toxic people, we grind harder… and yet we remain the exact same person year after year. Why? Because most people overlook the one decision that actually shapes every part of their future. This isn’t about manifesting success or chasing a highlight reel. I’m talking about the one posture that Scripture commands and that quietly builds resilience, joy, stability, and spirit...

In this episode, I break down: • Why Christians are obsessed with the Israel debate • The silent rise of Islamic ideology in the West • How socialism contradicts Scripture • Why believers must focus on our actual assignment. our nation, our cities, our families • How to th...

Send a text In this episode, Spencer unpacks why spiritual discipline is not just a nice idea — it’s a battle strategy.

Send a text In this episode of The Future Is Now Podcast, Spencer Nakamura unpacks the chaos surrounding Elon Musk’s “Cancel Netflix” movement—and asks the question few believers are willing to: Are we thinking biblically, or just emotionally?

Later in the show, Spencer reacts to William Matthews’ deconstructi...

Spencer Nakamura explores what Jesus really meant, the Old Testament context of “eye for an eye,” and why this teaching doesn’t call believers to be passive or tolerate abuse.

We explore the historic parallels between John the Baptist, the early church under Rome, and the dangerous patterns of persecution rising today.

Send a text Is everyone called to go on a mission trip? In this episode, we break down the true meaning of missions, the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19), and whether every Christian is required to travel to fulfill God’s calling. We also address misconceptions about missions work, the role of the local church, and why obedience looks different for each believer.

Send a text Christians should be the best at everything they do because their work reflects who God is. But why do so many believers struggle with mediocrity? Why does Christian media, art, and culture often lack excellence? The problem is that we have compartmentalized our faith, limiting it to Sundays and church settings instead of seeing all of life as an opportunity to glorify God. In this episode, we break down why this mindset is damaging the influence of Christianity, how we got here,...
