This channel also encourages people by challenging them to live out their true calling as a Christian. We release a new video EVERY TUESDAY. I hope you'll enjoy these videos, share them and engage in the discussion!

God is intentional with everything He does. Jesus came when the world was prepared for His message to spread. The same God who timed His first coming is guiding every detail of His return.


How does this knowledge shape the way you live today?

Many assume the Antichrist will be a U.S. political figure or a business elite. But the Bible gives us something far more specific.

The spirit of the antichrist is already at work in the world (1 John 4:3), but one day a real, global figure will rise to fulfill the prophecies.

He will perform a fake resurrection to mimic Christ, and demand worship as if he were God (2 Thess. 2:4). He will require a mark on the right hand or forehead to force humanity to declare loyalty to him over God (Rev. 13:16–17).

This mark will be a spiritual decision that separates those who follow Christ from those who follow deception.

The Antichrist’s ultimate goal is about worship, the very thing Satan has always desired (Isaiah 14:13–14).

My wife and I, along with a few friends, had the incredible opportunity to visit the set of The Chosen, directed by Dallas Jenkins. It was such a blessing to be invited behind the scenes of a project that’s powerfully bringing the story of Jesus to life.

We had a chance to walk through the set, meet some of the amazing crew, and watch the filming of next season. I was genuinely moved seeing the level of excellence and passion poured into every detail. It reminded me just how much it matters to support projects like this that help people experience the Bible in such a meaningful way.

I hope and pray that God continues to bless this show to reach millions of people with the truth. If you haven’t seen @thechosentvseries Season 5 yet, I encourage you to check it out.

Dallas Jenkins, thanks again for having us!

HE IS RISEN!

A question I hear often is, "Did Jesus really rise from the dead?"

Let's break it down.

First... Christianity rises or falls on the resurrection. If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, our faith has no foundation (1 Cor. 15:17).

Second, Scripture, history, and eyewitness testimony all point to one undeniable truth: He really did rise.

Last, the tomb was empty. Over 500 eyewitnesses saw Him alive (1 Cor. 15:6). Roman and Jewish leaders couldn’t produce a body. The disciples died proclaiming a risen Savior.

Though some may claim it's religious fiction, it's a historically recorded event with eternal implications.

Jesus is who He said He is: the Son of God, the only way to eternal life. Praise God!

Why did Jesus cry out, “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46)

If He was God, shouldn’t He have known this moment was coming?

The answer is found in both prophecy and substitution.

Jesus was quoting Psalm 22:1, a messianic psalm written centuries earlier. In His agony, He was fulfilling Scripture and pointing to its ultimate fulfillment... Himself.

But more than that, in that moment, He was bearing the full weight of humanity’s sin. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “He became sin for us.” The Father didn’t stop loving the Son, but the Son endured the judgment sin deserves in our place.

Jesus wasn’t confused or caught off guard, He was fully aware and fully surrendered. In that moment, He bore the judgment we deserved so that we would never have to be separated from God for eternity.

In John 19:30, Jesus spoke one final word before giving up His spirit: “It is finished.”

The Greek word for it is tetelestai, which was used in legal and financial settings to mean paid in full. This meant that the full price for sin had been satisfied.

This ties directly to Isaiah 53, where the Messiah is described as the one who would bear the iniquity of us all. Jesus completed that work on the cross.

The curse of sin was broken, and the separation between God and man was removed.

Moments like this are what truly matter. A keyboard and my pajama-clad daughter bonding over something we love.

I grew up playing the piano and leading worship at my church, so getting to share that experience with my daughter is something I cherish.

Did you know that as parents, the time we spend with our children shapes their development? Studies show that engaged parenting leads to kids who are more confident, emotionally secure, and better equipped to handle relationships.

🙏🏽 To all the parents out there: choose fun, simple activities with your kids, such as kicking a soccer ball, painting, or doing a puzzle. These intentional moments will help build their confidence and strengthen your relationship for years to come.

Will everyone see Jesus when He returns? The Bible makes it clear: yes, everyone will see Him.

His second coming will not be private or hidden. You won’t need to check your phone or wait for a news alert. When Jesus returns, the whole world will know.

It will be a global event that is visible and unmistakable. Every eye will see Him, and every nation will witness it. No one will be able to ignore it.

The Bible says, "Every eye will see Him." – Revelation 1:7

🙏🏽 Share this with someone who needs to hear the truth.
