Micah 4:1–5 Why Is It So Hard to Find Real Peace? is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. Why Can’t Humanity Ever Seem to Find Lasting Peace? Humanity has spent generations pursuing peace through governments, treaties, military strength, political systems, and human solutions. Yet wars continue, fear remains, and division seems impossible to escape. In Micah 4:1–5, the prophet gives us a radically different picture of the future. After Micah 3 ends with judgment and destruction, Micah 4 suddenly opens with hope. Nations are coming to the Lor
Micah 3 How Do You Know If your Pastor Is Speaking for God is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. How Can You Tell If a Pastor Is Truly Speaking for God? Is it because they’re confident? Because they have a large church? Because thousands of people follow them? Because their message makes you feel good? Or is there something deeper we should be looking for? This week, we’re continuing through the Book of Micah with Micah Chapter 3, and God turns His attention directly toward leadership. Political leaders. Judges. Priests. Prophets. The very

A truth we don’t want to hear. A little more comfort. A little more self-interest. Until eventually, something that began in the heart starts changing the way we live. After celebrating our 300th episode from Honduras, we’re
300th Celebration is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. 300 Episodes. One Mission. One Faithful God.

Throughout this episode, Bill, Bob, and Pete look back on the journey, share stories that have never been told, reflect on the lessons God has taught t
Standing Firm Together 1 Peter 3:8-17 is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. What If the World’s Greatest Evidence for Christianity Isn’t an Argument… but a Christian? Most people think defending the Christian faith begins with having the right answers. But the Apostle Peter begins somewhere else. He begins with our relationships. In this special Riot Podcast Live episode (recorded during last week’s livestream), we continue our study through 1 Peter and discover why a church that lives in unity, humility, compassion, and love becomes one o
How Does Spiritual Drift Begin? is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. What If You’re Drifting Away from God Without Even Realizing It?

In this episode, we continue our journey through the book of Micah by exploring the first chapter of this powerful prophetic book. While Micah’s message was orig
Why Did God Send the Prophet Micah? is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. What If You’re Being Discipled by Something You Don’t Even Realize? The Book of Micah isn’t just an ancient prophecy about Israel. It’s a mirror that confronts every generation. In this episode, we begin a brand-new study through the book of Micah by stepping back into the world he lived in, a nation that looked successful on the outside but was quietly collapsing on the inside. Wealth was increasing. Religion was thriving. Yet hearts had drifted far from God. Could

How Gambling Quietly Steals More Than Money is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. Can a Christian gamble without it quietly changing their heart? Online gambling, sports betting, fantasy leagues, casino apps, and digital slot machines have made gambling more accessible than ever before. What once required a trip to a casino now lives inside our smartphones available 24/7, waiting for moments of boredom, stress, loneliness, or financial pressure. In this episode of the RIOT Podcast, we move beyond the question, “Is gambling a sin?” and expl
What Mature Christianity Actually Looks Like is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. Most Christians know the story of Jesus beginning in Bethlehem. But what if His story started long before that? In this episode of the Riot Podcast, we explore one of the most fascinating questions in all of Scripture: Did Jesus appear in the Old Testament before His birth? Together, we examine the biblical evidence behind what theologians call Christophanies, pre-incarnate appearances of Christ throughout the Old Testament. From the Angel of the Lord who ap
What Mature Christianity Actually Looks Like is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast.

In this week’s episode of the Riot Podcast, we unpack

How to Have Hope When Life Feels Heavy is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast.

The Problem with Chaotic Worship – 1 Cor 13 is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. Are we pursuing the presence of God… or the appearance of being spiritual? What if what we call “powerful worship” is actually creating confusion instead of clarity? In this week’s episode, we continue from the “love chapter” in 1 Corinthians 13 and step into 1 Corinthians 14, where the Apostle Paul addresses a critical issue in the church: misusing spiritual gifts in a way that draws attention to self instead of building others up. Paul makes one thing clear

1 Corinthians 12 – One Spirit, One Body, Many Gifts is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast.

In this teaching on 1 Corinthians 12, we uncover how the Holy Spirit works within believers, not to elevate individuals, but to build a unified, living body in Christ. After addressing disorder in worship in chapter 11, the Apostle Paul now turns to something deepe

From Oklahoma to Easter What God is doing right now! is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast.

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into a truth many of us overlook, culture doesn’t just influence what we think… it shapes what we want.

You Don’t Need More Discipline You Need Deeper Surrender is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. Are you building for God… or walking with Him? Gifted leaders are everywhere… but faithful leaders are rare. In this week’s episode, we dive deep into a sobering and necessary question: Why do so many leaders both in the world and in ministry burn out or fall? From the very beginning, Scripture reveals two paths: the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge. One is rooted in intimacy, surrender, and daily dependence on God. The other is built on co
The Bible never denied other ‘Gods’, it dethroned them is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. Does the Bible Actually Teach There Are “Many Gods”? In this episode, we tackle a question that surprises many Christians: Why does the Bible talk about “many gods”? When people encounter passages like Psalm 82 or Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians, it can raise confusion. Does the Bible teach polytheism? Are these “Gods” just idols, metaphors, or something more? Scripture actually presents a much deeper and more supernatural worldview than most believe
