Lie #2: There are Many Ways to God: Lies of the Enemy Series

Is there really only ONE way to God, or are all religions just different paths to the same place? 👀   🎟️ Grab your tickets for UncommonTEEN Live (Sept 17-19, Mt.

Islam says one thing. Buddhism says another. Mormonism adds a whole new book. But Jesus says something no other religion dares to say: "I am the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." In this episode of Lies of the Enemy, Coach Jamie breaks down what Islam, Buddhism, and Mormonism actually believe — where they came from, what they teach, and how they contradict both Jesus's own words and each other. Then she walks through the real Gospel: why we need saving, what Jesus actually did on the cross, and how you can know Him for yourself today. If you've heard that it's judgmental to believe Jesus is the only way — this episode is for you. ✨ Next week: is it really true that the music you listen to doesn't matter? Stay uncommon. 💛

Lie #1: Follow Your Heart: Lies of the Enemy Series

"Follow your heart" sounds good. Oprah said it. Martina Navratilova said it. Your favorite show probably said it too. But is it actually true? In this episode of Lies of the Enemy, I'm breaking down why following your feelings instead of God's Word always leads to compromise — and why it always ends with someone getting hurt. I'll tell you about the time I made a server cry (yeah, it's embarrassing, but you need to hear it), we'll do a quick science lesson on why your emotions feel so loud right now, and I'll walk you through the full armor of God in Ephesians 6 — the real protection against letting your feelings run your life. If you've ever made a decision because it "felt right" and regretted it later, this one's for you.

In this episode, Coach Jamie sits down with evangelist, author, and speaker Alex McFarland to answer one of the biggest questions teens are asking today: Is Jesus real? Alex has spent over 30 years traveling the world sharing the gospel — and he's not your typical "churchy" guest. He grew up a poor farm kid in rural North Carolina, plays guitar every single day, used to play in a band at frat parties before he ever knew Jesus, and had only $58 to his name the day he got married. Fast forward 30 years: he's written 21 books, spoken on 5 continents, shared the stage with the Beach Boys, and watched around a quarter million people come to faith in Christ. His story is proof that God doesn't need you to have it all together — He just needs you willing. In this conversation, Alex and Jamie talk about: ✨ How one person's quiet example (not a sermon) changed the course of Alex's life ✨ Why God gives us "do-overs" no matter how many times we need one ✨ What to do when your mind is stuck on repeat with lies like "I'm not good enough" ✨ What he'd say to a teen who's on the fence about fully following Jesus Verses referenced: Psalm 119:93, Psalm 119:18, John 6:40, Psalm 37:4 💬 This week's challenge: Think of one person in your life who's watching how you live. What's your life pointing them toward? 🌟 Declaration: I am beautiful. I am valuable. My beauty and my value — they don't change. Even if someone fails to see how incredible God made me.

Would You Speak Up? Part 2

Have you ever known exactly what needed to be said... and said nothing? This week, Rosie, Kayleigh, and Sadie join Coach Jamie for an honest conversation about the difference between speaking up and starting drama, why truth without love falls flat, and what it actually looks like to confront someone the way Jesus would. The girls get real about the fear that keeps us quiet — and share the moments their faith gave them courage to speak anyway: a divine coffee shop encounter, a cry-night prayer that came full circle, and a lunch table where nobody else was a Christian. If you've ever shrunk back when God was nudging you to speak, this episode is your reminder: your voice matters, and you never know who's listening. Verses referenced: Ephesians 4:15, Ephesians 4:29 This week's challenge: The next time you feel God leading you to speak up, step out in boldness — and watch what He does.

Would You Speak Up?

Have you ever known exactly what needed to be said... and said nothing? Maybe it was standing up for someone being talked about behind their back. Maybe it was telling a friend a hard truth. Maybe it was just raising your hand when you knew the answer, but you didn't want to look like you were trying too hard. This week, Coach Jamie sits down with Rosie, Kayleigh, and Sadie for an honest conversation about fear, faith, and finding the courage to use your voice. They get real about the moments they stayed quiet when they knew they shouldn't have, what actually stops us from speaking up, and the difference between speaking the truth in love and just starting drama. You'll hear real stories about choosing courage over comfort, why "sin of omission" is a real thing, and how one person's willingness to speak up can change a life they'll never even know about. Plus, a rapid-fire round putting these real-life scenarios to the test. Because courage isn't the absence of fear — it's being afraid and doing it anyway. This episode is part of our August "Courageous" series.
