The Gospel Needs No Defense

We Cannot Stay Silent

When the authorities told Peter and John to stop speaking about Jesus, their response was simple: “We cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:20). In this episode of Unstoppable Gospel, we look at what it means to be bold when culture pressures us to be silent. We’ll see that: • Opposition is normal for followers of Christ. • Boldness comes from knowing Jesus personally. • The gospel itself is simple yet powerful — Christ died, was buried, and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:1–3). • God even uses opposition to spread His Word further. The gospel doesn’t need defending. It just needs to be unleashed. Will you choose boldness today?

The Gospel Needs No Defense

“The gospel doesn’t need defending — it needs unleashing.” In this first episode of our Unstoppable Gospel series, we look at Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 2:9: “I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound!” Even when Paul sat chained in prison, he knew God’s Word could not be stopped. We’ll talk about why the gospel is powerful on its own, how we sometimes confuse defending it with protecting it, and why God’s Word keeps advancing even when it looks like everything is against it. From the early church facing persecution to today’s challenges in our culture, the truth remains: the gospel is unstoppable.

Charlie Kirk Assassination

Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. In this episode, we step back from the headlines to process what this tragedy reveals about our culture, the reality of evil, and the hope we still have in Christ. We’ll look at how Scripture calls us to guard against hatred, to live as peacemakers in a divided world, and to trust in the nearness of God when everything feels dark. Evil doesn’t get the last word. Jesus does. Key Scriptures: 10:10, Romans 12:19, Matthew 5:9, Psalm 34:18, John 17:3

In the Beginning — John 1:1–5

In this episode, we start right at the beginning of the Gospel of John — verses 1 through 5. “In the beginning was the Word…” Together, we pause to see Jesus as the eternal Word — the One who was with God, and who is God. The One through whom all things were made. The Light that still shines in the darkness, and the darkness can’t overcome Him. This isn’t just a study — it’s an invitation to see Jesus bigger, to sit quietly with His Word, and to let that Light meet you today. If this encourages you, share it with someone who needs hope — and follow the podcast to keep walking through John with me, one verse at a time.

Episode 3 – Back to the Heart: Knowing God Again

In this final part of the Back to the Heart series, I share what’s next for this podcast—and what it means for me (and maybe for you) to truly know God again. Less striving, more abiding. Less noise, more quiet trust. If you’ve been longing to slow down and hear His voice again, this episode is for you. Let’s return to the heart of it all: knowing Him deeply, daily, honestly.
