Ep 3490What are the Imprecatory Psalms and how should a Christian use them in prayer?

The imprecatory psalms are psalms of intense cursing. These psalms contain harsh language and call for God to exercise justice. A Christian must read, study, and apply these psalms with great care but also be sure not to ignore them as they are a part of Scripture.Relevant Passages:Psalm 61:1-2, 33:1, 65:2, 3:1-4, 35:1, 83:16, 94:12-13, 139:21-222 Timothy 3:16-17; 4:14Revelation 6:9-10 ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Ep 3487The Church as a Safe Place for Those Who Struggle

How can the church be a place where people feel safe enough to confess sin, seek help, and grow?In this episode of Four Preachers and a Podcast, we tackle a tension every faithful church must face: how to uphold holiness while also creating a culture where struggling people can come into the light without fear.The gospel calls the church to be a community of truth and grace—but too often, people hide their struggles because they fear shame, gossip, or harsh judgment. When that happens, sin thrives in secrecy and people suffer in silence.Together, we discuss what it really means for a church to be “safe,” what Scripture teaches about confession and restoration, and how leaders and members alike can help foster an environment where honesty leads to healing. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Ep 3486Wholly Separated

In this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, Emily Hatfield explores what it truly means to be wholly separated from sin while living in a fallen world saturated with it. Drawing from scripture, personal experience, and biblical examples, Emily challenges listeners to examine their desires, guard their hearts, and intentionally pursue holiness—not by isolation from the world, but by transformation through Christ.Using Lot’s gradual move toward Sodom as a warning, Emily reminds us that sin rarely overtakes us all at once. Instead, it creeps in as our hearts grow comfortable with what God calls us to flee. This episode is a call to daily self-examination, renewed focus on Jesus’ sacrifice, and a deeper hatred of sin in all its forms.Though perfection is not possible this side of eternity, faithful striving is. Through Christ’s continual cleansing, we can walk in freedom and choose separation from sin again and again. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Ep 3483The Gospel in an Age of Outrage

Outrage has become the dominant language of our culture. It fuels conversations, shapes identities, and often replaces careful thought with instant judgment.

This conversation explores how outrage culture affects our hearts, our relationships, and our Christian influence—both online and offline.Together, the four preachers discuss the difference between righteous anger and habitual outrage, how the gospel reshapes our posture toward people we disagree with, and why Christian faithfulness is often most visible in calmness, patience, and love rather than loud reaction. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Ep 3477The Blame of Calvary

The cross confronts us not only with God’s love, but with human guilt. It’s easy to talk about the beauty of the cross. It’s harder to face its blame.In this episode of Today With Jesus, we consider a sobering truth: while Scripture records the roles played by Jewish leaders and Roman authorities, it refuses to let us push responsibility safely outward. The Bible presses the question closer to home.Who is truly to blame for Calvary?The cross exposes the depth of human sin and the uncomfortable reality that Jesus did not merely die because of others—He died for us. Our guilt stands in the shadow of the cross, even as God’s grace shines through it. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Ep 3480When should a person be re-baptized?

Many people have questions about re-baptism. When should this be done? What if a person grows in their knowledge and understanding from when they were initially baptized? We should keep in mind that we will always be growing, but this doesn't mean that the power of Jesus' blood that saved us initially has weakened or changed (Acts 4:12; 1 John 3:20).Verses Referenced: Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:38, 22:16, Colossians 2:11-13; Galatians 3:27; 1 Peter 3:21; Acts 19:1-6; 1 John 3:20, 1 John 5:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; John 3:16-17; 2 Peter 3:18; Acts 4:12 ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Ep 3443The Blessings of the Suffering Servant (Part 2)

In this episode of Today With Jesus, we conclude our two-part look at “The Blessings of the Suffering Servant” by turning to Isaiah 53:12 — a verse that reveals one of Jesus’ most comforting and ongoing blessings: His intercession.Isaiah’s prophecy shows that the Servant not only bore the sins of many, but now “makes intercession for the transgressors.” The blessing of intercession means Jesus didn’t just save us at the cross — He continues to stand for us, speak for us, and advocate for us before the Father. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
