Tearing Down Idols - Mixed Bag

You might not have a golden statue in your living room, but idolatry is still very real—and way more common than we think. This week, we return to 1 John with one simple but powerful verse: “Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.” (1 John 5:21)

Why would John end his whole letter like that? No long goodbye, just… watch out for idols. In this message, we’ll unpack what idolatry actually looks like today—not in ancient temples, but in our hearts. Whether it’s money, family, comfort, success, or even good things that quietly become ultimate things, idols pull us away from the only One who truly satisfies.

If you're feeling the weight of misplaced trust or want to make sure nothing is competing with Jesus in your life—this one’s for you.

🎧 Hit play and take an honest look at where your trust and worship really lie.

When the Race Gets Hard - Mixed Bag

We all hit those moments when life doesn’t go the way we planned—when the road stretches longer than expected, the finish line feels farther away, and it would be easier to stop than keep going.

In this message, we’re looking at what it takes to keep running with faith, courage, and perseverance—even when the race gets hard. From Caleb’s 45-year wait to a cross-country race in high school, we’re drawing lessons on endurance, wholehearted commitment, and keeping our eyes on Jesus.

If you’re in a hard season, if you feel like giving up, or if you just need a reminder that it’s not how you start but how you finish—this one’s for you.

The Eternal Gospel (Revelation 14) | E67

🔥 Revelation 14 Explained: Fear God, Give Him Glory, Worship Him

What would you do if the sky turned red? If the heavens declared war and the earth stayed silent?

In today’s episode of Escaping Babylon, we explore Revelation 14:6–7 and the angel’s loud, global message—God’s final call before judgment falls. This isn’t just a warning. It’s an invitation.

• You’ll discover: The strange sky battle of 1561 over Nuremberg, Germany
• What it means to fear God in a world that fears everything but Him
• Why glory isn’t about spotlighting ourselves, but reflecting Him
• How worship is more than music—it’s about surrender

This is a wake-up call to re-center your life. To remember who God is. To live with awe, give Him glory, and worship Him with your whole heart.

Microchips and the 44K

144,000 and Firstfruits: Revelation 14 Explained | E66

Could microchip implants be the mark of the beast? We kick off this episode by exploring the rise of under-the-skin technology that allows people to pay with just a wave of their hand—and the growing debate surrounding it. Is it just convenient tech, or a step toward biblical prophecy? Then we turn to Revelation 14 and take a deep dive into the mystery of the 144,000 sealed servants of God. Who are they? How did they go from Mount Zion to the very throne room of God? Along the way, we uncover: What it means to be redeemed from the earth The deep biblical significance of firstfruits The powerful truth behind substitutionary atonement From Exodus to Revelation, we trace how Jesus is our perfect sacrifice—the Lamb who took our place and paid the price we never could and how the OT consistently points to him.

👁‍🗨 Watch now to better understand Revelation 14 and what it means for your faith today.

Keep His Commands - 1 John 5:1-11

What does it really mean to love God? In this message, we look at a clear and powerful answer from 1 John 5: “This is love for God: to keep His commands. And His commands are not burdensome.”

It’s simple—but not shallow. Before there was Occam’s Razor or the “Keep It Simple” principle, God had already defined love in the most direct way: obedience rooted in trust. Not legalism. Not guilt. Just surrender to Jesus.

Obedience doesn’t come from pressure—it comes from knowing and loving the One who gave everything for us. And when Jesus is your foundation, obedience becomes a joy, not a burden.

If you’ve been hurt by religion or weighed down by rules, this message offers hope. Whether you're seeking faith, rebuilding it, or guiding the next generation—this is for you.

God is Love - 1 John 4:7-21

What really matters when this life ends? It's not what you packed in your garage or how full your calendar was — it's what you took with you that counts.

In this powerful message from 1 John 4:7-21, we’re reminded that God is love, and love perfected in us brings confidence—not fear—on the day of judgment.

✔ What does Christian maturity really look like?

✔ Can we have certainty about our eternal future?

✔ How do we live a life now that reflects the love of God and the reality of judgment later?

We’ll unpack the Apostle John’s heartfelt message, explore our identity as children and friends of God, and confront the often-ignored truth: We’re all on spiritual probation. But we can live with confidence, not condemnation, because of what Jesus has already accomplished.

✝️ Takeaway: You can take some things with you — namely, a confident heart, rooted in God’s love and faithfulness.

Test the Spirits - 1 John 4:1

Have you ever heard someone say, "God told me..." and immediately felt a little uneasy? Same here. 😅 In this message, we’re diving into 1 John 4 where the apostle John urges us to test the spirits – because not every “word from the Lord” is actually from the Lord.

We’ll unpack:

- Why “God told me” can sometimes shut down healthy conversations.

- How to biblically discern if something is truly from God.

- Why crowds, charisma, or confidence aren’t reliable signs of truth.

- How to spot teachings that align with God’s Word and character.

And yes… what to do when someone randomly walks up and tells you you’ve got a “spirit of perversion”. 😳

Let’s talk Holy Spirit, false teachers, and how to navigate faith with humility, love, and truth.

If you’ve ever wrestled with hearing God's voice (or someone else claiming they have), this one’s for you.

Let us know in the comments: Have you ever been told “God said…” and didn’t know what to do with it?

Love One Another - 1 John 3:11-24

This week we’re diving deep into 1 John 3 to explore the kind of love that goes far beyond good vibes and kind words. This isn’t about loving tacos or hobbies—this is agape love. The kind of sacrificial, inconvenient, action-driven love modeled by Jesus.

God’s love has been the story from the very beginning—and now, we are called to carry it forward. But what does that actually look like in real life? How do we live this out in our neighborhoods, our churches, our families?

📖 Join us as we unpack what it means to love not just with words or speech, but with actions and in truth.

Children of God - 1 John 3:1-10

Ever been caught in a downpour? Not just a little spring rain—but one of those storms where the street turns into a river and you can’t see a thing? That kind of overwhelming flood is actually a pretty great picture of how God lavishes His love on us.

In 1 John 3:1-10, we’re reminded that being called Children of God isn’t just a label—it’s a powerful truth. God’s love is not cautious or reserved. It’s a torrent. A deluge.

This message explores what it means to live in that identity—with a focus on purity. Not just moral purity, but something deeper: wholeness. A life that isn’t divided between Jesus and everything else. A sincere, single-hearted devotion that reflects who we really are in Him.

If your faith feels like it’s been on autopilot or you’ve been struggling with divided loyalties, you’re not alone—and you’re not stuck. Let this be a reminder (or a wake-up call) that Jesus is after your whole heart, not your performance.
