  5. #376 - John Eldredge // The Masculine Journey: An Invitation to Partnership

    · 5:57 · Episode 376

    Chaos is everywhere right now and it is easy to feel like the faithful response is to hunker down, complain louder, or just hope God fixes it all. We take a different path by going back to the opening pages of…

  6. #375 - John Eldredge // The Masculine Journey: Bring Your Whole Life to God

    · 6:18 · Episode 375

    · 6:05 · Episode 374

    Saul is convinced he’s the hero of God’s story, right up until a flash of light knocks him to the ground and a voice asks a haunting question: “Why do you persecute me?” We walk through Acts 9 and the conversion of…

  8. #373 - Joby Martin // Fulfill Your Ministry

    · 6:23 · Episode 373

    The fastest way to burn out is trying to live someone else’s calling. We close out this set of leadership lessons with a challenge that cuts through noise and ego: fulfill your ministry. If you’re a Christian man…

  9. #372 - Joby Martin // Faithful Right Now

    · 6:11 · Episode 372

    Chasing the next job, the next role, the next “break” can feel like motivation, but it can also become a trap. We dig into a simple leadership lesson that keeps showing up in real life: be faithful with what God has…

  10. #371 - Joby Martin // Trust Jesus With The Outcome

    · 6:40 · Episode 371

    Your next big decision might not need more research, more opinions, or another round of “what if” scenarios. It might need one clear filter from John 2:5: “Do whatever he tells you to do.” We take that single verse and…

  11. #370 - Joby Martin // Choose Faith Over Fear

    · 6:47 · Episode 370

    Fear can feel like wisdom when you’re staring down an uncertain future, a hard conversation, or a leadership role that feels bigger than you. We go straight at that tension with a practical Christian leadership lesson:…

  12. #369 - Joby Martin // Direction Over Vision

    · 6:51 · Episode 369

    Most leaders love vision because it feels inspiring. But what happens when you hit the goal, the season changes, or your “preferred future” turns out to be too small? We talk about a leadership idea that cuts through…

    · 7:04 · Episode 368

  17. #364 - Kyle Thompson // The Ice Should Have Claimed Them

    · 7:33 · Episode 364

  19. #362 - Joby Martin // Real Prosperity Starts When You Abide In Christ

    · 6:28 · Episode 362

    Prosperity is a loaded word, and Psalm 1 doesn’t let us keep shallow definitions. We slow down on the image of a man who becomes like a tree planted by streams of water, steady through heat, fruitful in season, and…

  20. #361 - Joby Martin // Delight In The Word

    · 6:09 · Episode 361

    Psalm 1 doesn’t just call us to avoid bad influences, it calls us to build a life that’s actually rooted. We dig into the sharp contrast between the man who is blessed and the life that turns into chaff, and we slow…

  21. #360 - Joby Martin // Cutting Out Bad Influence

    · 5:55 · Episode 360

    The scariest kind of drift is the kind you get used to. Psalm 1 doesn’t just warn us about “bad people” it exposes a pattern: we start by walking near harmful influence, then we stand in it long enough to adopt it, and…

    · 6:59 · Episode 358

  24. #357 - Jay Risner // The Prodigal Son Explained

    · 6:13 · Episode 357

    A son blows up his family, burns through his future, and ends up feeding pigs and that’s only the opening scene. Jay Reisner (lead pastor at Faith Bible Church) fills in on The Daily Blade and takes us line by line…

  25. #356 - Jay Risner // Rejoicing When The Lost Come Home

    · 5:47

    A son looks his father in the eye and basically says, “I want your stuff, not you.” That’s the gut-punch at the center of Luke 15’s third parable, and it’s why this story cuts deeper than a lost sheep or a misplaced…

  26. #355 - Jay Risner // Lost And Found

    · 5:48 · Episode 355

    Grumbling religious leaders. A table full of sinners. And Jesus telling stories that land like a mirror. We step into Luke 15 with guest teacher Jay Reisner, lead pastor of Faith Bible Church, to explore why Jesus…

  27. #354 - Jay Risner // Jesus Eats With Sinners

    · 5:48 · Episode 353

    The tension that sparks Luke 15 isn’t a theological debate, it’s a meal. Some of the most rejected people in society draw near to Jesus to listen, and the religious leaders can’t stand what they see: He receives…

  28. #353 - Kyle Thompson // Intercession for the Transgressors

    · 6:02 · Episode 353

    Isaiah 53 ends in a place most people don’t expect. After describing a servant who is crushed, rejected, silent before his accusers, and killed for crimes he did not commit, the text suddenly turns and says he will…

  29. #352 - Kyle Thompson // Silence before Slaughter

    · 6:23 · Episode 352

    Silence usually reads like surrender, especially when you’re being accused in public. We open Isaiah 53:7-9 and wrestle with a detail that still feels upside down: the suffering servant is oppressed, afflicted, and yet…

  30. #351 - Kyle Thompson // Crushed for Our Iniquities

    · 6:13 · Episode 351

    Isaiah 53:4–6 is one of those passages that leaves no room for vague faith. We slow down and read the words carefully: grief carried, sorrow borne, transgressions pierced, iniquities crushed, peace purchased, healing…

  31. #350 - Kyle Thompson // The King No One Expected

    · 5:38 · Episode 350

    A conquering king with an army feels like the obvious answer but Isaiah 53 says the Savior won’t look like that at all. We open the chapter and let it collide with our instincts: the servant grows like a young plant…

  32. #349 - Kyle Thompson // The Long Shadow Before the Cross

    · 5:09 · Episode 349

    We’re wired to look for a certain kind of savior: big presence, obvious strength, and a win everyone can see. Isaiah 53 starts by tearing that picture down. The servant doesn’t arrive like a towering tree or a…

  33. #348 - Joby Martin // Only The Cross

    · 5:52 · Episode 348

    Billy Graham sat at a dinner table in his 90s and got asked a simple question: if you could preach one more time to one more packed stadium, what would you preach? His answer was instant and surprisingly narrow. Not a…

  34. #347 - Joby Martin // Why Grace Alone Beats Religious Checklists

    · 6:14 · Episode 347

    Religious effort can look holy while hiding a deeper fear: What if I have not done enough for God to accept me? We go straight at that question with Paul’s closing words in Galatians: neither circumcision nor…

  35. #346 - Joby Martin // Only The Cross

    · 5:09 · Episode 346

    Billy Graham had every reason to talk about his résumé. Instead, when we asked what he’d preach if he could fill one more stadium, he didn’t hesitate: Galatians 6:14. That moment has stayed with us because it cuts…

  36. #345 - Joby Martin // Grace Over Religion

    · 5:53 · Episode 345

    A polished religious life can hide a deeper problem: fear. In day two of The Daily Blade, we open Galatians 6:12 and let Paul expose what happens when people trade the freedom of the gospel for the pressure of…

  37. #344 - Joby Martin // Why You Can Trust The Bible As Real History

    · 5:45 · Episode 344

    Paul closes Galatians with a line that feels almost too ordinary to matter: “See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.” We slow down and sit with that detail, because it points to something many…

  38. #343 - Kyle Thompson // Faith And The Ballot

    · 5:31 · Episode 343

    More than half of self-described evangelicals say Christian beliefs shouldn’t influence political decisions. That single claim exposes a wider problem: a crisis of discernment where the culture quietly trains us to…

  39. #342 - Kyle Thompson // Church Is Not Optional

    · 6:11 · Episode 342

    A lot of people claim faith while keeping the church at arm’s length, and it’s starting to look normal. When the 2025 State of Theology survey reports that 39% of self-identified evangelicals don’t think Christians are…

  40. #341 - Kyle Thompson // Do All Religions Worship The Same God

    · 6:16 · Episode 341

    Nearly half of self-described evangelicals say God accepts the worship of all religions. If that number doesn’t stop you in your tracks, it should, because it forces one unavoidable question: do we let culture set the…

  41. #340 - Kyle Thompson // Biblical Marriage In A Confused Age

    · 6:32 · Episode 340

    The most revealing beliefs are the ones we assume no longer need defending. Marriage has become one of those fault lines, especially after Obergefell v. Hodges reshaped the legal landscape and made honest public debate…

  42. #339 - Kyle Thompson // Discernment In The Age Of Noise

    · 5:45 · Episode 339

    Every day brings a fresh headline to fear, fight over, or doomscroll through, but we think a deeper emergency is hiding underneath all of it: a crisis of discernment. When information is endless and confusion is…

  43. #338 - Joby Martin // Your Money Follows Your Worship And So Does Your Heart

    · 5:57 · S1 E338

    Money has a way of telling the truth about us. Not the truth we wish were true, but the truth that shows up in what gets our first attention, our first dollars, and our best energy. We open Galatians 6:6-10 and follow…

  44. #337 - Joby Martin // Real Brotherhood Means Stepping In Before You’re Asked

    · 5:52 · S1 E337

    Brotherhood gets tested when a man is struggling and everyone else is tempted to stay quiet, stay polite, and keep their distance. We open Galatians 6 and talk about what Scripture actually calls us to do when a…

  45. #336 - Joby Martin // Comparison Kills Joy

    · 5:59 · S1 E336

    Comparison is the quiet thief that keeps a lot of us stuck, and it’s showing up every time we pick up our phones. We open Galatians 5:25-26 and get brutally honest about how fast conceit and envy can grow when we stop…

  46. #335 - Joby Martin // Fruit Of The Spirit, Not Self-Help

    · 6:42 · S1 E335

    Trying harder sounds noble, but it is a terrible plan for spiritual growth. If you have ever looked at your life and thought, “Why am I still impatient, unkind, or lacking self-control?” we take you straight to…

  47. #334 - Joby Martin // Freedom In Christ Without A License To Sin

    · 5:27 · S1 E334

    Freedom is one of the most misunderstood words in the Christian life, and Galatians 5 refuses to let us redefine it. We open with Paul’s sharp claim that Christ sets us free for freedom, then we draw a hard line…

    · 5:08 · S1 E333
