Crushin' Religion

Episode 20: Not Accepting Freedom

What if you've never truly accepted the freedom Jesus paid for? So many people know about Jesus, but never fully embrace who He is or what He accomplished on the cross. We can spend years holding onto traditions, fear, guilt, or things we've always been taught without ever asking if they line up with God's Word. This episode isn't about arguing with anyone, it's about asking an honest question: What if? What if there's more freedom in Christ than you've experienced? What if some of what you've always believed needs to be tested against Scripture? Don't take our word for it. Pray. Open your Bible. Ask God to reveal His truth to you and be willing to follow wherever He leads.

Episode 19: Condemnation

The enemy loves to remind you of who you were.Jesus reminds you of who you are.So many believers are living under condemnation when Christ has already offered forgiveness, freedom, and a new identity. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" – Romans 8:1

Episode 18: Power to become Witnesses

Many people focus on one sign of the Holy Ghost, but Jesus said, "You shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me..." (Acts 1:8). The purpose of the Holy Ghost is bigger than a single experience, it empowers us to live for Christ, share the Gospel, and be witnesses of Jesus everywhere we go. Join us as we discuss what it truly means to receive the power of the Holy Ghost and how that power transforms us into effective witnesses for the Kingdom of God.

Episode 17: Serving, Not Competing

Have we turned ministry into a competition? In this episode of Crushin Religion, we discuss the danger of seeking positions, titles, and recognition instead of simply serving where God has placed us. Too often people become frustrated when they don't receive the role they wanted yet overlook the many opportunities to serve that may seem less visible whether that's cleaning bathrooms, setting up chairs, helping behind the scenes, or encouraging others. The Kingdom of God was never built on competition. It was built on servanthood. Jesus didn't call us to fight for positions. He called us to serve one another in love. Listen now and let us know your thoughts in the comments. Have you ever seen competition create division in the church? How can we better serve one another?

Episode 16: Dead Things in the Church Part 2

In this episode, we're continuing a difficult but necessary conversation about things that can slowly kill spiritual growth within the church. This isn't about attacking people or denominations it's about examining ourselves, challenging traditions, and comparing everything to God's Word. Are we holding onto things that look alive on the outside but are spiritually dead on the inside? Let us know in the comments: What are some things you see in the church today that have become spiritually dead? What traditions, practices, or mindsets do you believe need to be examined in light of Scripture?
