Power Talk Podcast

Episode 287- Relationships

This episode of Power Talk Podcast dives into relationships, marriage, and the spiritual foundations that make them thrive. Pastor Paul and Pastor Matthew explore what makes a marriage strong, why covenant matters more than contract, how past experiences affect intimacy, and why the fear of the Lord is essential for building a healthy relationship. The conversation blends biblical teaching, personal stories, and practical wisdom. They emphasize that marriage is sacred, weighty, and beautiful—but only when approached with commitment, purity, and a willingness to grow. They also address common struggles couples face, from emotional baggage to communication breakdowns, and explain how healing, accountability, and spiritual maturity transform a marriage over time.

Episode 286: Thankfulness and Unthankfulness

This episode of Power Talk Podcast explores the spiritual power of thankfulness and the destructive effects of unthankfulness. Pastor Paul and Pastor Matthew walk through Romans 1 to show how gratitude is not just a pleasant attitude—it’s a spiritual doorway that keeps the heart open to God, protects the mind from confusion, and positions believers to receive more from Him.

Episode 285: Money

This episode of Power Talk Podcast centers on money, increase, and the heart posture God desires toward finances. Pastors Paul Ceccato and Campus Pastor Matthew De Leon open with honesty about the stigma around “money and church,” acknowledging abuses in some ministries while emphasizing that most pastors live modestly and often work additional jobs to support their families. They share personal stories of sacrifice, long hours, and seasons of receiving little to no income from ministry—not to complain, but to show that their teaching on increase is not about enriching themselves. Instead, they stress that biblical increase is holistic: spiritual, creative, relational, and yes, financial.

Episode 284: Hell Is Real

The conversation tackles one central theme: hell is a real, literal place of judgment, not a metaphor, not a state of mind, and not something people can wish away. The pastors explain that many modern beliefs—especially online—try to soften or reinterpret hell because people struggle with the idea that a loving God could allow judgment. But Scripture, they argue, is consistent: hell exists, it was originally created for fallen angels, and it becomes the destination for those who reject God’s gift of salvation. They emphasize that God doesn’t send people to hell out of cruelty—rather, people judge themselves by rejecting Christ. Hell is described as a temporary holding place before the final judgment, when it will be thrown into the lake of fire. The episode stresses that God has already done everything necessary through Jesus to save humanity, and He continues to reach out in His goodness. But once a person dies, their decision is sealed. The tone is urgent: the pastors want listeners to understand the seriousness of eternity, the reality of spiritual accountability, and the depth of God’s love in providing salvation. They close by urging viewers to seek God now, not later, because “life as we know it” is moving toward the end of the age.

Episode 283: Why We Fast

The video teaches why fasting is a vital spiritual discipline for believers and how it strengthens a person’s walk with God. It emphasizes that fasting is not about starving the body but about feeding the spirit, creating space for clarity, breakthrough, and deeper intimacy with God.
