  • 184. Ink & Fire: Words that Changed the World: Living Graced & Grounded/Embrace Grace/The Face of Grace

    45:14||Season 2025, Ep. 184
    When the world was drowning in sin, grace didn't shout from heaven--it stepped into skin. Jesus didn't just bring grace. He is grace-wrapped in flesh, stretched on a cross, risen in power. When you wonder if God still loves you, when shame whispers that you're too far gone, look to the face of grace- Jesus Christ, arms wide open, scars still showing, saying, "This is how far grace will go for you."
  • 183. Ink & Fire: Words that Changed the World

    43:00||Season 2025, Ep. 183
    What if the thing you're trusting to keep you safe is the very thing shaping who you are? Is your job? Your Bank account? A relationship? Maybe it's your reputation, your religious routine, or your ability to stay in control. We all look for security some where but what we rely on for safety eventually starts to define us. 
  • 182. Ink & Fire: Words that Changed the World: Mirrors & Megaphones

    47:26||Season 2025, Ep. 182
    In a world where appearances are curated and perfection is performed, Christian hypocrisy has become the subtle costume of modern faith. This message calls out the danger of wearing a holy mask while hiding a hurting or hardened heart. Drawing from Romans 2, we confront the uncomfortable truth: God is not impressed by outward appearances—He sees through the act, straight to the heart. True faith isn’t about knowing the right words or looking the part; it’s about living authentically before God and others. Hypocrisy tries to use religion as a stage, but God’s Word is a mirror that reflects who we really are. The call is clear: drop the mask, face the mirror, and let grace do what performance never could—transform us from the inside out.
  • 181. Ink & Fire: Words that Changed the World: The Wrath of God

    52:56||Season 2025, Ep. 181
    What if the scariest thing God could say is: “Okay… have it your way”?This message dives into a side of God many avoid — His wrath. But this isn’t reckless rage. It’s the holy, heartbreaking response of a loving God who’s been rejected and replaced.Romans 1 shows us that God doesn’t always judge with fire from heaven — sometimes, He simply steps back. And when He does, we feel the full weight of life without Him.This isn’t condemnation — it’s a wake-up call. God's wrath reveals where our choices lead so we’ll turn back before it’s too late.You’ll never run to mercy until you realize what you need rescuing from.If life feels like it’s unraveling, this message may show you why — and how to come home.
  • 180. Ink & Fire: Words that Changed the World: Marked

    55:00||Season 2025, Ep. 180
    “Ink & Fire” isn’t just a study — it’s an ignition.Penned by Paul but inspired by God, the book of Romans is a divine manifesto that lit the fuse of reformation, revival, and radical transformation. These aren’t cold theological arguments — they’re burning truths, etched in ink and alive with fire. In a world chasing self-made righteousness and DIY spirituality, Romans calls us back to the gospel: raw, relentless, and real. This series will trace the journey from guilt to grace, law to liberty, death to destiny. If you've ever wondered what God really thinks about you — or how His righteousness could rewrite your story — this is your invitation. Come close to the flame. Let the ink speak. Let the fire transform.
