Send us 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 h...
Send us 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 th...
Send us 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 spi...
Send us a text Christians are distracted. While believers are fighting online over Israel, influencers rage-baiting for clicks, and denominations arguing over theology, a Muslim democratic socialist just became mayor of NYC. 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...

Send us a text In this episode, Spencer unpacks why spiritual discipline is not just a nice idea — it’s a battle strategy. Drawing from Ephesians 6 and real-life stories, he explains how spiritual disciplines like prayer, Bible study, fasting, solitude, and self-awareness become the armor that protects you from the enemy’s attacks. If your faith feels stagnant or fragile, this episode will give you the framework to build a faith that can actually withstand the fight. Timestamps: 00:00 – Wel...
Send us 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? Spencer explores the cycle of outrage culture, the difference between canceling vs. testing, and why followers of Jesus must develop spiritual discernment in an age of manipulation. Later in the show, Spencer reacts to William Matthews’ deconstru...

Send us a text This episode unpacks one of the most misunderstood verses in Scripture: Jesus’ command to “turn the other cheek” (Matthew 5:38–42). 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. With commentary on the Charlie Kirk memorial, Romans 12 vs. Romans 13, and five common myths about turning the other cheek, this episode clarifies the difference between a be...
Send us a text This episode of The Future Is Now dives into the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk and why I believe he should be remembered as a modern-day martyr. We explore the historic parallels between John the Baptist, the early church under Rome, and the dangerous patterns of persecution rising today. From Ephesians 6 and the armor of God to the cult of Artemis in Ephesus, I break down how culture-driven idolatry in the first century mirrors what we face in America right now. Pers...
Send us 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. Some say, “Everyone should go on a mission trip.” But is that biblically accurate? We discuss the difference between personal c...

Send us a text In this message, we explore The Jesus Equation—the powerful truth that Jesus often starts with scarcity to reveal His abundance. Before God adds to your life, He may subtract, not to punish, but to build dependence.

Send us 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 he...
Send us a text Immigration is one of the most heated topics in our nation today. With new policies, mass deportations, and ongoing debates about open versus secure borders, emotions are running high. But as Christians, we have to ask—what does the Bible say about immigration?

We dive into Exodus 22:21, 1 Timothy 5:8, and Romans 13 to understand how S...
