Fake Faith, Real Consequences confronts the danger of a faith that looks good on the outside but never reshapes the heart, the home, or the habits. Drawing from Scripture, real-life stories, and hard truths Jesus Himself spoke.

This podcast isn’t about perfection; it’s about integrity. It calls men to stop performing, stop hiding, and stop outsourcing their spiritual leadership. Instead, it challenges listeners to embrace a faith that costs something—a faith that shows up when no one is watching, stands firm under pressure, and produces real obedience. Fake Faith, Real Consequences is a wake-up call for men to trade comfort for conviction, appearance for authenticity, and religion for a living, active relationship with Christ.

In Chains of the Screen, we confront the often-hidden grip of pornography and its impact on the heart, mind, and soul. This episode explores how what begins as private entertainment can quietly become a chain—distorting desire, numbing intimacy, and reshaping how we see God, ourselves, and others.

 

This conversation unpacks the spiritual battle behind the screen, revealing why pornography is not merely a habit to break, but a heart issue that calls for transformation. We examine the lies porn sells about freedom and fulfillment, contrast them with God’s design for intimacy, and address the shame that keeps so many trapped in silence.

In this episode, we explore Jesus’ challenging call to discipleship—a call that costs us far more than comfort, convenience, or cultural approval.  we unpack what it truly means to follow Christ: denying ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and surrendering control of our lives. Discipleship is not an add-on to faith but a complete reorientation of our priorities, relationships, and ambitions. While salvation is a free gift of grace, following Jesus demands obedience, perseverance, and sometimes sacrifice. This conversation invites listeners to count the cost honestly, reject shallow faith, and embrace the deeper joy and freedom found in wholehearted devotion to Christ—even when it’s difficult.

In a culture obsessed with speed, productivity, and constant noise, Scripture invites us to pause. From the very beginning, God models rest—pausing on the seventh day not out of exhaustion, but intention. Pausing is not weakness; it is worship.

 

Throughout the Bible, we see that God often does His deepest work in moments of stillness. Jesus regularly withdrew to lonely places to pray. Elijah encountered God not in the wind or fire, but in a gentle whisper. Psalm 46:10 calls us to “Be still, and know that I am God,” reminding us that clarity, direction, and peace flow from slowing down before Him.

In this episode, we explore God’s answer to Habakkuk’s cry: “Write the vision; make it plain.” God assures the prophet that His justice will come at the appointed time—even if it seems delayed. Habakkuk 2 contrasts the pride of the wicked with the faith of the righteous, declaring that “the righteous will live by faith.” Through a series of “woes,” God exposes the emptiness of greed, violence, injustice, and idolatry, reminding us that human power always falls short. The passage ends with a call to reverent trust: the Lord reigns from His holy temple, and all the earth is invited to stand in awe before Him.
