Welcome back to Hard Truths Radio! Tonight, we’re tackling one of the most common questions in the faith: Is baptism actually necessary to be a Christian?
We break down how baptism serves as a crucial stepping stone in your daily faith walk and dive into what the Bible means by the "nation of priests" language. It’s about taking that next step in obedience and identity. Then, we shift gears into a deep dive of John Chapter 21—looking at Jesus' third appearance to the disciples, the miraculous catch of fish, and the powerful, redeeming conversation restoring Peter.
Grab your Bible and let's get into it.

The Political Pulpit & The Empty Tomb
Are pastors misconstruing scripture for political gain? In tonight’s episode, we confront the growing trend of pulpit politics and the danger of twisting the Bible to fit earthly agendas rather than teaching biblical truth. We discuss the critical difference between exegesis (drawing the meaning out of the text) and eisegesis (inserting personal or political ideas into the text).
In the second half of the show, we dive deep into a Bible study of John Chapter 20. We break down the timeline of the Resurrection, Jesus' powerful encounter with Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb, Christ's peace given to the disciples, and the restoration of Doubting Thomas. Discover how the victorious, resurrected Christ of John 20 offers a kingdom far greater than any modern political movement.
In this episode, we cover:
The dangers of mixing political agendas with biblical theology
How to spot when scripture is being taken out of context
A verse-by-verse breakdown of John Chapter 20
The significance of the empty tomb and the Resurrection of Jesus
Why Jesus’ true kingdom is not of this world

Un-Hardening Your Heart
In a culture driven by outrage, cynicism, and division, it is easy to let the world callous your spirit. But followers of Jesus are called to something radically different: active, relentless compassion.
Tonight, we unpack what it truly looks like to keep a tender heart in a hardened culture. We look overseas at our brothers and sisters in the persecuted church—believers who endure unimaginable trials yet demonstrate a resilient faith, humility, and sacrificial love that the American church desperately needs to learn from. Finally, we walk verse-by-verse into John 19, fixing our eyes on the ultimate display of divine love, suffering, and obedience at the Cross: Jesus Christ bearing our sin and declaring, "It is finished."
