172. 15 Reasons Why Young Earth Creation Is The ONLY Biblical View
🔥 15 Reasons Why Six-Day Creation Is the ONLY Biblical ViewIf you get the beginning wrong, you’ll get the rest of the story wrong. In this episode of The PRODCAST, I make the case—biblically, theologically, and unapologetically—that literal, six-day creation is not a side issue. It is the bedrock upon which every doctrine rests.We’re not talking about a negotiable preference. We’re talking about the very first thing God told us—and the first thing Satan attacked: “Did God really say…?” From the authority of Scripture, to the gospel itself, to cultural battles raging today, this episode will show you why compromising Genesis will lead you down a path where you are compromising everything.In this episode you’ll discover:1. Why Jesus, Paul, and every biblical author read Genesis as literal history2. How denying six-day creation guts the gospel at its foundation3. Why “death before the Fall” is theological heresy4. How reclaiming Genesis is essential to winning the culture war📅 UPCOMING EVENT – Defending Six-Day Creation with Dr. Ken HamMark your calendars: Saturday, October 5th, Burlington, MA – Refresh Ministries is hosting world-renowned creation scientist and Answers in Genesis founder Dr. Ken Ham for a one-day conference on Why a Literal Six-Day Creation Matters.✅ Register now → https://brushfire.com/refreshministry/refreshchurch/608056 💬 Join the ConversationDo you believe six-day creation is essential?

171. The Seven Stars
The Seven Stars of Revelation | The PRODCAST Episode — Revelation 1:12–20Welcome back to The Prodcast! In today’s episode, we continue our deep-dive into Revelation 1:12–20, exploring the first vision John receives—and more specifically, what it means that Jesus is holding seven stars in His right hand.These stars aren’t celestial accessories or angelic abstractions. They are pastors—real men, charged by Christ to lead, feed, and shine. And their position? Held in the right hand of the risen and reigning Son of Man.📖 Episode Outline:PART 1: Who Are the Seven Stars?We biblically and exegetically demonstrate that the “angels” of the churches are not celestial spirits, but pastors—messengers held accountable by Christ. The Greek word angelos simply means “messenger,” and context makes clear these are human leaders of local churches.PART 2: Why Are They Called Stars?From Genesis to Isaiah, Daniel to Jesus, stars symbolize ruling authorities in Scripture. They are not just lights, they are lights that govern. These pastors are called stars not for their fame—but for their function: to reflect the light of the Son in the darkness.PART 3: Where Are They Held?Jesus holds them in His right hand—the throne-hand, the power-hand, the hand of authority, intimacy, and accountability. This is a position of profound significance. Pastors are not freelancers. They are possessed, protected, and judged by Christ Himself.PART 4: What Are They For?The relationship between star and lampstand is vital. Christ addresses the church through the pastor. The flame (pastor) sits atop the lampstand (church) as a visible sign of the church’s health and faithfulness. The health of the church flows from the clarity, courage, and Christ-centeredness of the man who speaks for Him.🎙️ In this episode you’ll learn:Why Jesus addresses the pastors, not just the congregationsHow the symbol of stars in the Bible represents covenant headshipWhat Christ’s right hand tells us about the nature of pastoral ministryThe theological implications of the pastor-church relationshipHow Jesus governs His Church through order, covenant, and preaching👨‍🏫 For Pastors:You are not an ornament. You are not optional. You are essential to Christ’s plan for His Church. This episode is a call to faithful, fearless, Christ-centered leadership in a world that desperately needs lampstands that burn bright.🙌 For Christians:Support your pastor. Pray for him. Protect him. Honor him. A faithful shepherd is one of the greatest blessings Christ gives to His people—and when the star burns bright, the lampstand shines strong.📌 Key Scripture: Revelation 1:12–20💥 Main Idea: Christ governs His Church through pastors held in His hand—men who are responsible, accountable, and empowered to shine His truth in every generation.🔔 Subscribe and ShareIf this episode blessed you, challenged you, or gave you a bigger view of Christ and His Church, please subscribe, rate, and share it with others.

169. The Day of the Lord
Was the “Lord’s Day” a Sunday… or a Sentencing? (Revelation 1:10 EXPLAINED)📖 Description:Most Christians read “the Lord’s Day” in Revelation 1:10 and think: Sunday.Worship. Rest. Maybe brunch after church.But that’s not what John meant. Not even close.In this episode of The PRODCAST, we uncover the courtroom drama unfolding behind this misunderstood phrase. We show that Revelation 1:10 isn’t describing a peaceful morning devotion—but a prophetic moment of divine reckoning, where the Spirit pulls John into the heavenly courtroom and shows him the final sentencing of apostate Israel.The prophets warned it. Jesus predicted it.And by AD 70, the fire fell—right on schedule.This isn’t about church calendars. It’s about covenant collapse.This is the Day of the Lord—the one they had coming.📚 What You’ll Learn:Why “the Lord’s Day” = “the Day of the Lord”—and why that mattersHow Revelation follows the structure of a covenantal lawsuitWhat Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Joel, Amos, and Malachi really saidWhy Jesus quotes Isaiah 13 in Matthew 24—and what that provesHow AD 70 wasn’t random—it was a legal executionWhat the prophets saw coming… and what John finally witnessedWhy the Church today must understand the verdict to live in the victory🔥 This Episode Is for You If:You’re tired of treating Revelation like an end-times horror movieYou’re ready to stop waiting for judgment—and start living in dominionYou want a theology that makes you build, not hide💣 Quotes to Remember:“The Lord’s Day wasn’t Sunday morning—it was execution day.”“Revelation isn’t a riddle. It’s a lawsuit.”“The prophets weren’t poets. They were God’s legal team.”“The temple didn’t fall by accident. It fell by verdict.”“We’re not living in the shadow of judgment—we’re living in the light of the Kingdom.”🧱 What’s the Point?When John said, “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day,” he was stepping into the firestorm that the prophets foresaw and Jesus guaranteed.He wasn’t waiting for history to end.He was watching the Old Covenant world come crashing down—so that the Kingdom of Christ could rise in its place.Now that the judgment has fallen, it’s time to build.Stop reading Revelation like it’s about your future.Start reading it like it already happened—and your job is to live like a citizen of the New Jerusalem.🛠Support the Mission (Not the Man):If this show helps you think clearly, build boldly, and worship more fearlessly, consider becoming a monthly supporter.📢 Final Call:Like.
