Was Charlie Kirk Racist?

As Christians, we don’t follow blindly — we follow evidence. In this Mission Brief, Goose challenges believers to push back against false narratives with truth and reason. Following the death of Charlie Kirk, many have smeared his name with unproven accusations of racism — but the Bible calls us to seek evidence, not echo mobs. In this message you’ll hear: • Why “the one who makes the claim must provide the evidence” • What it means to have reasonable faith, not blind faith • How to apply Christ...

The World’s Top Resurrection Scholar Admits His Doubts - Dr. Gary Habermas

Dr. Gary Habermas—the foremost living expert on the Resurrection of Jesus, architect of the Minimal Facts argument, and longtime professor at Liberty—opens up like never before.

God's Wrath is as Necessary as His Love

A breakfast convo with a pastor flipped a switch for me: if everything about God is perfect, then His wrath is just as good and necessary as His love. We open John 3:36 and Romans 1 to see why judgment, justice, and righteous anger aren’t opposites of grace—but part of the same holy character. Hard words, huge hope: no sin goes unpunished, and in Christ no sinner is left without mercy. Let’s read the text and wrestle honestly.

Are Demons Real?

C.S. Lewis once said we make two mistakes about the demonic: pretend it doesn’t exist or become obsessed with it. In this episode, we walk the line in the middle—acknowledging the reality of spiritual warfare without being consumed by it. You’ll hear first-hand stories of the supernatural: • A mysterious glowing spot that terrified a family for years • Nightmares and encounters that could not be explained away • The power of prayer, anointing, and the name of Jesus to drive out evil • Why dabbli...

Men Are Self-Destructing in Silence

Men are breaking under the weight of life—but nobody wants to talk about it. In this Mission Brief, we’re talking straight about mental health, stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction among men. If you’ve ever felt like you’re having a heart attack—chest tight, can’t breathe, feel like you’re dying—it might not be your heart. It might be a panic attack. We use the paper plate analogy: when you pile too much on (job, family, bills, volunteering, pressure), eventually the plate collapses. That’...

What Does Leading Your Family Really Mean?

Men, leadership in the home isn’t about barking orders or getting your way—it’s about sacrifice. Scripture calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church, and that means protecting, providing, and serving first. In this video, we break down what true headship looks like in marriage and family. From sleeping closest to the door, to being the first to apologize, to making tough spiritual decisions—this is about leading through sacrifice, not control. If you’ve ever wondered what bib...

Was the Bible Written for Common People?

Is the Bible only for experts, or can ordinary people read and understand it themselves? This question goes back to the Reformation and still shapes how we interpret Scripture today.
