Episode 13: When Religion Becomes a Cult

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?

Episode 15: Dead Things in the Church Part 1

Dead things in the church have become so normal that many don’t even question them anymore.In this episode, we talk about familiar spirits, preaching without studying, using fillers instead of the Word, cliques in the church, and attention-seeking replacing true humility. This isn’t about attacking people or making fun of traditions, it’s about getting back into the Word of God and searching for truth over routine.The church doesn’t need more performance… it needs revival, conviction, and truth.

Episode 14 - Challenged Minds: Faith and Mental Health

Mental health is not something to mock, hide, or automatically label as “a spirit.” Sometimes people are genuinely hurting, struggling, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or battling things they never asked for. In this episode, we talk about the importance of compassion, support, and understanding within the church. Seeking help does not make you weak, faithless, or broken. It’s okay to pray, and it’s okay to talk to someone, seek counseling, or get medical help when needed. The church should be a safe place where people can open up without fear of judgment, gossip, or condemnation. As believers, we are called to love one another, carry each other’s burdens, and support those who are struggling, not push them away.
