In this episode, Costi Hinn provides clarity on one of the most common questions we get as a ministry. God’s will and healing are twisted by faith healers and spiritual abusers who seek to heap burdens on people who need comforting truth. To get healed, do you just need more faith? Does giving money make God provide miracles? This episode will provide biblical truth on this important aspect of God’s will. 

In this episode, Costi Hinn breaks down the 5’s of God’s will as explicitly mentioned in Scripture. Over the years, many theologians and pastors have used these passages to help Christians see that when they live according to what Scripture says, they will always find themselves aligned with God’s will. Book recommendation in this episode: "Found: God’s Will” by John MacArthur. 

In this episode, Costi Hinn continues the series on God’s will by unpacking God’s will in salvation. Using Ephesians 1:3-6 he showcases how God’s not absent from our salvation, nor is He out of the equation when it comes to who gets saved.

In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks God’s decretive will or what theologians call “God’s secret will.” When it comes to this particular aspect of God’s will it’s vital that Christians understand the sovereignty of God, but also, the peace that comes from knowing just how in control He is. Whether you’re worried about the future or wondering about the past, this episode will strengthen your view on the will of God and help you live confidently in His plan for your life.

In this series, Costi Hinn breaks down the basic truth about God’s will and takes the mystery out of one of the most confusing and misunderstood aspects of the Christian life. You can know God’s will and walk in it. Beginning with this episode, he focused on the most important characteristic you need to get ready for a deeper understanding of God’s will. Too many Christians miss the glorious truth about God’s will because they don’t start off with the right attitude.

In this episode, Costi Hinn answers your questions about the Holy Spirit including questions about tongues, feelings, church service order, fruit, prayer, and more! 

Unity is hard to come by in the body of Christ, but it doesn’t have to be that way. At the same time, we should never sacrifice truth in the name of superficial unity. When it comes to the work of the Holy Spirit in the true body of Christ, we may differ on some secondary doctrinal matters, but if we share a common Lord and have been baptized into the same body, we can experience unity in the midst of some differences. In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks 4 principles that can help us preserve the unity that the Holy Spirit provides.

He also covers some of the historical heresies that were condemned by early church councils and provides practical insights for those who have swung to extremes when it comes to the Holy Spirit. 

The Holy Spirit is quite possibly the most misunderstood and abused member of the Holy Trinity. Some people don’t believe He is God, others think He is merely a mystical force or some abstract expression of God. His work, His deity, and His personhood are all essential Christian truths. In the midst of a generation ripe with false teaching that confuses people on this vital doctrine, this episode will help you avoid error and relish in the truth. Costi Hinn highlights several examples of blasphemy regarding the Spirit’s work, then provides 3 glorious reasons why getting the doctrine of the Holy Spirit matters. 

Like many pastors and churches, when COVID-19 hit the news and shut down orders spread across the globe, Tim Stephens and Fairview Baptist Church stopped holding services and assessed the situation. Not knowing what they were dealing with, they took every step necessary to use wisdom and prudence in their decision-making. But as it became clear that this virus was not all that the government made it out to be, Tim’s convictions stirred to re-open the church and begin preaching and holding worship services. His decision to re-open had a wide ripple effect that ultimately led to his imprisonment. As a husband, and a father to 8 children, Tim and Raquel Stephens had so much to lose. As fines piled up and public pressure mounted, Tim’s convictions remained anchored. To end the whole ordeal all he had to do was sign an agreement stating that he would not go back and re-open the church. He refused. This interview is the entire story in his own words. 

In this episode Costi Hinn shares the 5th message in this summer series and Paul Washer makes his 2nd appearance.

In this episode, Costi Hinn carefully examines the Dispensational Premillennial, Historic Premillennial, Amillennial, and Postmillennial perspectives, giving believers a clear and charitable overview of each. Along the way, he highlights the attitudes that should shape our discussions—humility, charity, hope, readiness, mission-mindedness, and Christ-centeredness.

In this episode, Costi Hinn shares the 3rd message in this summer series and it focuses on the kind of preaching every Christian should unapologetically expect from a faithful preacher. Our preacher is Dr. Steve Lawson, this particular sermon is from Shepherd’s Conference in 2019, and was instrumental in Costi's own desire to preach the Word in a pulpit for the rest of his life. It will help any believer understand the importance of preaching and what to expect of their church and pastors. 

In this episode, Costi Hinn introduces our 2nd sermon of the summer series. Our preacher is John MacArthur, the message is "Inerrancy Under Attack," and it is from the 2015 Shepherd's Conference.

Every Christian must know how the Bible is inerrant and why we stand for the truth of God's unchanging Word. 

In this episode, Costi Hinn kicks off a 5-week series where he shares life changing messages that have impacted him over the last 10 years. In this 1st message, Paul Washer pours out from his deep well of wisdom on marriage, parenting, and family in what has become one of the most accessible, convicting, and down-to-earth messages on these topics. Washer is less "preachy" and much more personal in what feels more like a living room counseling session than a sermon. No matter your life stage, this will greatly impact you for years to come. 

In this episode, Costi Hinn interviews Owen Strachan and asks him hard questions about difficult passages on head coverings, women teaching in the church, manhood, and patriarchy.

This episode will equip everyone to do that.

This isn’t a fringe belief; it is central to the Christian faith and essential for our hope, holiness, and mission.

Christian singleness is often accompanied by extremes. One extreme is to insist that most everyone should be married young, while another extreme is to insist that most everyone wait until their 30s so they can enjoy their singleness.
