This conversation is not driven by fear, sensationalism, or condemnation. Instead, it is an invitation to exercise discernment...

Many believers fear they may have committed the “unforgivable sin.” In this teaching, Glenn explains what Jesus meant by blasphemy against the Holy Spirit in Matthew 12:31–32.

This episode brings biblical clarity and reassurance to anyone struggling with fear or misunderstanding about this passage.

Episode three brings the spiritual war into our world, our culture, our homes, and our daily lives. In this episode, we expose: • the hierarchy of darkness • the order of angels and where Lucifer fit into that hierarchy • the territorial nature of spiritual warfare • the delusion blinding unbelievers • and how believers overcome through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony This episode equips believers to stand firm.

In this episode, Glenn explores how the serpent entered the garden, deceived Eve, and drew Adam into disobedience. The discussion reveals how spiritual warfare shifts from heaven to humanity, exposing the enemy’s tactics and highlighting God’s redemptive plan. Through Scripture and practical insight, Glenn helps listeners recognize the ongoing battle and stand firm in obedience.

Episode 1 reveals where spiritual warfare truly began - long before Eden. We trace Lucifer’s rebellion, the fall of a third of the angels, and how that cosmic conflict spilled into the Garden and targeted humanity. You’ll learn how Satan’s original strategies of pride, deception, and rebellion still operate today, why humans became central in the war, and how Christ’s victory was planned before the foundation of the world. This episode lays the groundwork for understanding the invisible battle that shapes everything we face.

Judas betrayed Jesus with a Kiss. Jesus was in complete control every step of the way on his journey to the cross. Judas was full of remorse but not repentance. Jesus was still alive when Judas returned the silver and committed suicide. Judas did not seek out Jesus for forgiveness.

Episode 2 examines how Judas was called, how his heart became corrupted, and how Satan ultimately influenced his betrayal. This chapter reveals the slow spiritual decay that opened the door for darkness to take hold.

In this first episode, we confront a truth that is sad but undeniable: proximity to Jesus does not guarantee salvation, just as growing up in a Christian home does not guarantee saving faith. Judas Iscariot walked with Jesus, ministered with Him, traveled with Him, ate with Him, and even prayed with Him, yet he never believed in Him. His life stands as a warning to every generation that a person can be close to Christ in outward appearance and still be spiritually lost.

In this episode, we explore one of Scripture’s most overlookedturning points, the moment John the Baptist stepped into the Jordan River and delivered a prophetic shock to Israel. Matthew 3 shows us a baptism unlike anything the Jews had ever seen; not ritual purity, not tradition, but a callto repentance that prepared the nation for the arrival of the Lamb of God. We break down why John’s baptism was new, disruptive, and spiritually explosive; how it signaled the end of the Old Covenant sacrific...

God tells Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands,” yet the battle plan that follows makes no sense from a human perspective. In this episode, we explore why God sometimes gives victory in advance but asks us to obey instructions that challenge our logic, stretch our faith, and expose whether we trust His voice more than our own understanding. Jericho teaches us that God’s strategy may not always make sense, but His purpose always does and the path to victory is through obedience.

Joshua stands on the edge of Jericho ready for battle, until he meets a mysterious Warrior with a drawn sword. In this episode, we explore Joshua’s encounter with the Commander of the LORD’s Army and why God doesn’t come to take sides but to take over. Before the walls fall, God confronts his leader, calls him to surrender, and reminds him that every battle begins on holy ground. This moment reframes the entire conquest and reveals a powerful Christophany that still speaks to us today.

Most of us assume that because we’re Christians, God is automatically on our side, our family, our politics, our preferences. But in Joshua 5, the Commander of the LORD’s Army, Christ Himself, shatters that assumption with one word: “Neither.” In this episode, Glenn Pennington explores why God refuses to take human sides, how His holiness shapes every decision, and what it means to align with His will instead of our own. Scripture references: Joshua 5:13‑14, Exodus 34:6‑7, Isaiah 46:10, 1 Pete...

What if the question we keep asking God…is the wrong question? In this first episode of the Joshua series, Glenn walks through Joshua 5:13–15 and the moment Joshua encounters the Commander of the LORD’s Army. Joshua asks, “Are you for us or for our enemies?” The answer he receives changes everything. This episode explores: • Why God answers “Neither”• Why God doesn’t automatically take our side• How Joshua shifts from commander to servant• What it means to align with God instead of asking Him...
