  • The ONE Habit That Will Change Your Life [Featuring Dave Embry]

    The ONE Habit That Will Change Your Life [Featuring Dave Embry]
    2025/01/24
    What happens when you begin to read the Bible every day? Pastor Allen sat down with his good friend, Dave Embry, to discuss how daily Bible reading significantly altered his life. While it may seem like reading about the historic wars, battles, and personal conflicts in Scripture has no significance to how we live out our faith today, Embry explains how it increases your understanding of God and His purposes for you. “Jesus says, 'If my words abide in you, then you are my true disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.' What is the opposite of free? Bondage,” Embry explained. “Do we want to be in bondage? That gives me the incentive to want to be in the Word of God. How else can I get His words to abide in me if I'm not in His Word?" Is it possible to know God intimately if we do not know His Word? Does it matter if we read the Bible daily or sporadically? Why is reading the Word of God so important? In this podcast, you’ll discover the answers to these questions and how God brought healing, hope, and transformation to Dave Embry's life through one simple, daily practice: Bible reading.

  • Lead Rock Singer Boldly Proclaims Jesus’ Love [Featuring Brad Arnold]

    Lead Rock Singer Boldly Proclaims Jesus’ Love [Featuring Brad Arnold]
    2025/01/10
    Brad Arnold, the lead singer of the rock band 3 Doors Down, went from battling alcoholism to finding hope through rehab, prayer, and the guidance of legendary Country Musician Charlie Daniels. Brad opens up about how his faith began to play a central role in his life, especially during his concerts, where he chooses to boldly proclaim the message of Jesus' love to his audience. "I've always tried to make songs that help people through situations—to help them acknowledge that 'Jesus loves me.' That's the most powerful thing in the world, to know that Jesus loves you. I know that I have a very short window before people start shutting down, and people aren't at a rock show to be preached at, but I want to share that with them." Brad's story is one of grace, redemption, and hope, showing that no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve gone through, there’s always a chance to find joy and healing.

  • 10 Keys to Cultivating Intentional Faith

    10 Keys to Cultivating Intentional Faith
    2025/01/03
    Beginning a new year is the perfect time to reflect on how we can lead our lives with intentional faith. "I think we oftentimes imagine faith as a passive thing, and I don't accept that definition. I think faith has to be lived out. It has to be demonstrated to be real," Pastor Allen stated. In this podcast, Pastor Allen gives us 10 practical ways we can intentionally live out our faith in our homes, communities, workplaces, and beyond. Faith is not about worshiping with the right music, reading the right Bible version, or memorizing the right verses. It’s about making daily decisions that honor God and being obedient to His Word. Whether we're experiencing times of joy or struggle, cultivating an intentional faith will shape our behaviors, habits, and choices in every situation.

  • Reflecting on 2024

    Reflecting on 2024
    2024/12/27
    If you made a list of the good things God has done in your life over the past year, what would you add to it? In this episode, Pastor Allen Jackson shares some ways God has worked in his own life over the past year and reminds us how God brings about outcomes that only the Creator of Heaven and Earth can accomplish. "I'm of the opinion that God's blessings are filling our lives. I believe the more we celebrate that, the more those blessings will gain momentum. I couldn't think of a better way to to see 2024 come to a conclusion than by taking some time to develop a good news list," Pastor Allen said. Keeping a Good News list reminds us that joy can be found in circumstances that may seem dismal—and as we record the ways God comes through for us, the list serves as a steady reminder of His faithfulness. Let's look forward to 2025 with great hope and anticipation — God is moving! Share this episode with friends who need some hope and encouragement, and invite them to make a Good News List with you!

  • The Destruction and Looting of America

    The Destruction and Looting of America
    2024/12/20
    As our nation shifts—culturally, economically, and morally—we're experiencing a systematic and spiritual “looting” of our moral foundation. "We're being looted. We will witness an increase in the unbridled pursuit of pleasure and hedonism because if you don't want people to notice that you're plundering the world around them, you give them greater license to behave in the most self-absorbed, narcissistic ways possible. We see that happening all around us," Pastor Allen asserts in this podcast. He discusses several areas where we see looting taking place right now. Our current trends place our nation in crisis as we struggle to maintain our identity and values. Yet, there is still hope. Watch this podcast to discover how you can be a force for change and invite God to bring healing to our nation.

  • New Orleans Coach Uncovers a Chain of Miracles [Featuring Joey Favaloro]

    New Orleans Coach Uncovers a Chain of Miracles [Featuring Joey Favaloro]
    2024/12/15
    The simplest gifts can bring profound changes when they remind us to put our trust in the Lord and His plans. In this episode, Pastor Allen sat down with his friend, New Orleans Basketball Coach Joey Favaloro, who tells us about how a small gift set off a chain of miraculous events. When he gave a little olive-wood cross to a friend, it prompted them to invite the Lord into their circumstances, leading to outcomes doctors said would be impossible to achieve. As the cross continues to be passed from one person to another, stories of faith, hope, prayer, and healing continue to unfold. From infertility to cancer recovery, the cross has become a reminder of God's willingness to supernaturally intervene when we invite Him into our circumstances.

  • Why the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Impacts You [Featuring Yael Eckstein]

    Why the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Impacts You [Featuring Yael Eckstein]
    2024/12/06
    How can Christians support Israel during times of crisis? As tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, standing with Israel and its mission to achieve peace and security for its people is essential. In this podcast, Pastor Allen and Yael Eckstein discuss the urgent challenges facing Israel today. Eckstein is the president and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and she warns that the very threats Israel faces can come to America. Leaders in the Middle East have been heard chanting, "Death to Israel, death to America!" The same spirit that hates the Jews hates Christians. "I think what's being lost across the world is the recognition of how small Israel is. We are surrounded by enemies," Eckstein stated. "In the past 20 days, we've killed more terrorists on America's "Most Wanted" list than America has done in the past 20 years. We are doing everything we can so America will be safe." Eckstein shares stories of the incredible work her organization is doing to provide life-saving aid to those in need, and she offers practical ways you can help.
