In this episode, Costi Hinn interviews FTG contributor and pastor of Mission Bible Church, Anthony Wood, on the nature of the times we live in.

In this episode, Costi Hinn & Jonny Ardavanis engage in a discussion that highlights the biblical framework for singleness and put to rest some of the well-intentioned but ignorant caricatures we see in the church today. The pressure on singles in the church can be intense. Though well-meaning, people in the church can patronize and pressure singles towards marriage, babies, and the next life stage as though they were a second-class citizen in the body until married and procreating. No matter how well-intentioned, this "downward" view on singleness can lead to us overlooking God's design and divine calling upon unmarried persons.

A lot of Christians want to speak the truth in love but struggle to do so in a loving and balanced way. Others may struggle to speak truth at all.

In this episode Costi Hinn breaks down key truths for guarding your heart in the midst of trying to guard the flock. 

Some people think church planting is a waste of time and money, while others are too scared or nervous to leave the comforts of their current church and help another one start.

Mike is an expert on Roman Catholicism after living as a devout Catholic for 35 years. He has spent the last 31 years proclaiming the true gospel and helping people go from religion to a true relationship with God.

This episode is a must-listen for every Christian. The John 17 Movement began in Arizona has quickly gained massive influence by calling Catholics and Protestant Christians to lay aside doctrine and unify as "one church." This movement is not fringe, and has found its way into once-faithful evangelical churches across the Valley and around the world by introducing key leaders to the Pope and claiming to be fulfilling Jesus' prayer for unity in John 17. Costi Hinn interviews Mike Gendron, expert on Roman Catholicism and former Catholic of 35 years, as the two discuss how the John 17 Movement is dangerously promoting false unity between Roman Catholics and the evangelical church. The Devil loves unity that ignores truth, and Christians must be discerning of their churches and leaders who promote this sort of deception.

This episode is practical and will help Christians live all of life for the glory of God. 

Leaving a church is a very common experience for people today for a number of reasons. Sometimes leaving is the result of work-relocation, church planting, or a new life stage. Sometimes leaving is the result of false teaching, sinful leaders, compromise, or other difficult situations. Whatever the case, there is a right way and a wrong way to leave a church. In this episode, Costi Hinn gives you a biblical roadmap for how to leave a church the right way.

Character matters more than cash. In the church, James 2 warns about showing partiality to the rich and Jesus reserves some His strongest warnings for those who think wealth can earn His favor. God uses people from all walks of life to serve and lead His church, but money and manipulation can blind us from remembering the importance of this. In this episode Costi Hinn unpacks three “P’s” that money should never get you. Church leaders and church members do well to assess their hearts in light of this episode. 

The great puritan John Owen once said, “A minister may fill his pews, his communion roll, and the mouths of the public, but what that minister is on his knees in secret before God Almighty, that he is and no more.”  What John Owen had right almost 400 years ago still rings true today, and not just for ministers but for all of us. In this episode, Costi Hinn breaks down three key areas that all of us should take inventory of. We must ask: Who are we when no one's looking?  

Is manhood just about looking manly and talking tough? Does a man with soft hands need to forfeit his man-card? Does your man bun diminish your manhood and does longer-hair signify your weakness and femininity? In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks 6 marks of manhood from 1 Corinthians 16. Pointing to the apostle Paul, and Christ, he makes the case for slowing down, assessing the heart, and judging manhood based on what flows from the inside, not merely what a man looks like on the outside. 

In this episode Costi Hinn tackles your questions with biblical answers. He covers questions like, "Why was Rahab's lie justified?" and "If God is not partial, why does He show partiality in choosing Israel in the Old Testament?" Other questions cover sharing the gospel, the doctrine of election, and how to discern the spiritual state of someone who says they are a Christian but has no interest in attending church. 

In this episode Costi Hinn interviews Anthony & Bre Wood as they announce a brand new podcast coming to the For the Gospel network!

Culture typically identifies manhood with a big ego, peak fitness, and success. But Scripture calls Christian men to an entirely different definition of manhood.

Both Heath and Chris open up about how they have faced sin, and what sacrifice and humility have to do with real manhood. 

Over 84% of the world's population (that's 6.6. billion people) have a smartphone, 4.5 billion people are on social media, and the average American adults consumes over 5 hours of video content each day.

Adultery and sexual sin are how the Devil loves to bring down marriages and destroy healthy relationships. Sometimes people who fall into sexual sin will say, "It just sort of happened! I am not sure how things ended up like this." But for the Christian, God's word gives us the clear steps that lead to sexual sin and provides us with wisdom to safeguard our hearts and eyes against temptation. In this episode, Costi Hinn breaks down Proverbs 7 and the steps that lead to sexual sin. He also provides 3 practical ways to guard against adultery and sexual sin. 

There are many things that a Christian can and should pray for in this life. A short list may include: safety, healing, job promotions, priority registration for your kids, help with your business, good grades in school, or favor with some situation you are facing. None of these things are wrong to pray for, but if you had a scale and could weigh the motives of those prayers, would a focus on the gospel and your spiritual growth factor in? The Scriptures give us a picture of prayer that is less “American Dream” and earthly, and is much more heavenly minded and eternal. You and I may pray for many good things, but a vibrant prayer life and solid spiritual growth is anchored by a focus on the greatest things. In this episode, Costi Hinn outlines 5 questions every Christian should ask when assessing their motives in prayer.

In this episode, Costi Hinn explains the filling of the Holy Spirit, how to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and how the filling of the Spirit differs from the baptism of the Holy Spirit. There is a lot of confusing teaching on this topic so Costi sticks to Scripture and helps you understand how you can be filled with the Spirit and glorify God with your life. 

People want to hear from God because they know His wisdom and will are perfect. But how can we? Does He only speak through reading the Bible? What does it mean to be "led by the Spirit?"

Due to a lack of clear teaching on this particular subject, many people confuse the "baptism of the Spirit" with "filling of the Spirit," or we aren't sure if we are allowed to pray for the Spirit to fill us, or we wonder about Paul's command to "be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18) since the Bible also teaches that the Holy Spirit already indwells all believers (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). All of these questions and more are covered in this episode on the Spirit's work in our lives. 

We are undoubtedly in the middle of a culture war and believers must stand boldly for the truth of God's Word. yet in the midst of our fight against evil, we must maintain a Christ-like attitude. In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks one of the most important spiritual qualities we should possess when fighting the good fight. Meekness is not throwing cold water on the war effort. Meekness is not standing by while evil runs wild and free. Meekness is not weakness. Meekness is strength under control, it is Christ-like, and it is an essential quality for men and women who stand for the gospel.

Every year we hear of numerous prophecies by people who call themselves "prophets" or "prophetesses," yet these prophetic words do not come true. While the Bible has clear definitions for true and false prophets, many charismatics argue that there is such a thing as "fallible prophecy" in which supposed words from the Lord were mistaken by the prophet.

Using words with wisdom is so important for all of us, especially those who are teachers in the body of Christ.

Like many pastors and churches, when COVID-19 hit the news and shut down orders spread across the globe, Tim Stephens and Fairview Baptist Church stopped holding services and assessed the situation. Not knowing what they were dealing with, they took every step necessary to use wisdom and prudence in their decision-making. But as it became clear that this virus was not all that the government made it out to be, Tim’s convictions stirred to re-open the church and begin preaching and holding worship services. His decision to re-open had a wide ripple effect that ultimately led to his imprisonment. As a husband, and a father to 8 children, Tim and Raquel Stephens had so much to lose. As fines piled up and public pressure mounted, Tim’s convictions remained anchored. To end the whole ordeal all he had to do was sign an agreement stating that he would not go back and re-open the church. He refused. This interview is the entire story in his own words.
