Not with money in the offering plate — with people. We’ve started investing in platforms instead of character, booking the big accounts instead of the faithful ones, and quietly teaching a generation of kids that the number under your name is what makes you worth following. I call it social media banking. And it’s costing us more than we know.

Because here’s what the kids actually learn when we put the famous over the faithful: that being known and being godly are the same thing. They’re not. They never were. The cure isn’t a better influencer — it’s the one influence that never falls, never gets cancelled, and never fails. Turn the feed off. Open the Book. That’s the whole prescription, and it’s available to every one of us, no following required.

Grateful you’re here.

Steven Spielberg’s new film, Disclosure Day, is built around a single premise: the day the whole world is finally “shown” that we are not alone—and it’s releasing into the exact season real “disclosure” is being staged in our headlines and our hearing rooms. In this broadcast I make the case that this isn’t entertainment. It’s preparation—a narrative being seeded to explain away the disappearance of millions, to sell demonic possession as alien contact, and to offer a counterfeit unity that bypasses the cross.

But the answer isn’t fear—it’s discernment. We walk through Matthew 24, the rapture, the counterfeit of the Holy Spirit, and the strong delusion of the last days, and why the blood-bought, Word-anchored believer has nothing to fear and everything to watch for. They’re not aliens. And we were never abducted—we were caught-up to be with our Lord!

Grateful you’re here.

It was such a wonderful time of fellowship and encouragment! The subject was Daniel's Seventieth Week (aka: “7-Year Tribulation) — but instead of charts and timelines, I wanted to take a different approach and ask a different question: what does this period reveal about the character of God? This is a beautiful portrait of a God who is faithful, sovereign, just, merciful, and redemptive. The same God then. The same now and the same God when…it happens!

I hope you’re blessed, encouraged and challenged.

What if the ten kings of Revelation aren’t who we’ve always assumed? What if they don’t wear suits and sit in parliaments — but instead control your data, your energy, your communication, and soon, your ability to exist in a digital world at all?

I was recently invited on as a guest on Prophetic Outlook, and what started as a conversation about a little-known US bill turned into one of the most wide-ranging discussions I’ve had in a while. We covered the surveillance infrastructure being built right now, the tech titans funding it, the digital ID rollouts already live in Europe — and where Scripture tells us it’s all heading. The pieces are on the board. The question is whether we’re paying attention.

We got into:

  • HR8250 — the US bill that would require age verification not just for apps or websites, but for your phone and devices at the operating system level

  • The PayPal Mafia — Musk, Thiel, Ellison and others, and why they may fit the biblical profile of the ten kings better than any politician

  • The post-rapture world — why no government has a contingency plan for billions of people disappearing overnight, and what that chaos unlocks

  • George Bernard Shaw and the Fabian Society — a chilling 60-second clip that sounds less like 1920s socialism and more like where things are headed

  • The mark of the beast — what the Bible actually says (and doesn’t say) and why AI and quantum computing are the control grid, not necessarily the mark itself

Hit play. This one’s worth your time.

Grateful you’re here.

When it comes to Palm Sunday, most people think of celebration. It was a moment in history filled with the excitement and joy of a people longing to be delivered from the oppressive rule of the Roman Empire. Their hope was deeply rooted in Scripture and prophecy. The celebration hailed what they believed to be their long-awaited conquering Messiah.

Modern media is designed to capture attention, stir emotion, and reinforce group identity. Over time, that pressure can start to shape how we see reality itself.

In this episode, we take a careful look at the psychological dynamics behind influence — the role of focus, authority, tribal pressure, and emotion — and why these mechanisms are so effective in the digital age.

But the deeper question is spiritual. Scripture teaches that the real battleground for the believer is the mind. Romans 12 calls us not to be conformed to the world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds through the truth of God’s Word. When a believer’s identity is rooted in Christ and their thinking is shaped by Scripture, they are far less vulnerable to manipulation, outrage cycles, or the pressure to conform. In a culture constantly trying to move us, the renewed mind becomes a place of stability, discernment, and peace.

Grateful you’re here.

If a steady stream of urgent headlines and countdown-style warnings has kept you constantly on edge, it may be time to step back and reconsider the framework you’ve been handed.

Episode 8 examines why routine financial stress and the latest economic headlines cannot produce the kind of global alignment so many keep predicting.

It also looks closely at the tone Scripture uses when it speaks of the Rapture. First Thessalonians 4 doesn’t say brace yourselves. It says comfort one another. The blessed hope was given to produce peace and endurance — not a steady diet of fear, anxiety or stress. If you’ve been worn down by urgency that keeps resetting, then this episode is a must for you.

Grateful you’re here.

Scripture does not treat death as random or meaningless. It traces it back to disobedience and connects it to something every person must face — accountability before God. Hebrews 9:27 says it plainly: it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment. That reality is not meant to create panic, but perspective. Time is not guaranteed but eternity is!

This episode walks through what the Bible actually says about death, consequence, and the hope found in Christ. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus. The cross was God’s way of showing us His unending love by paying for the wages of sin through His Son Jesus!

The question is not whether eternity exists. The question is where will you spend it. Grace and redemption is offered now. And now matters. Now is today! Will you accept it?

Grateful you’re here.

It was built that way. What started as a tool to help people stay connected slowly turned into something else — something that trains attention, rewards reaction, and keeps people coming back longer than they planned. Over time, that kind of constant pull changes how people think, how they wait, and how present they are with one another. Most of us didn’t notice it happening. And here we are!

This episode looks at what that means for everyday life and for the Church. Not with panic, and not with calls to disappear from the digital world, but with clarity. Social media isn’t going away, and it will keep doing what it was designed to do. The question is how believers are called to live inside that reality. Scripture reminds us where our focus belongs, and the Holy Spirit gives us the strength to walk in discernment rather than distraction. The call hasn’t changed — to fix our eyes on Christ and to use every tool wisely to point others to Him.

Grateful you’re here.

]]><![CDATA[Unity]]>https://www.serpentsndoves.com/p/unityhttps://www.serpentsndoves.com/p/unityMon, 26 Jan 2026 14:30:30 GMTUnity is a word we Christians use often, but we rarely slow down to define. In this episode, I take time to look at what unity actually is — and what it isn’t. Scripture never presents unity as forced agreement or sameness. Instead, it points us to something steadier: a common unifier—Christ!

I talk honestly about why unity feels so much harder now, how unresolved disagreements have quietly weakened relationships, and how cultural pressure inside and outside the church has made created massive relational chasms between brothers and sisters in Christ.

Rather than offering quick fixes, this episode calls us back to a biblical understanding of unity — one rooted in humility, patience, and faithfulness. Drawing from passages like Psalm 133, Ephesians 4, John 17, and Colossians 3, we’re reminded that unity is something to be guarded and constantly work towards maintaining. It doesn’t require everything to be resolved before moving forward, but it does require Christ to remain at the center. When He does, unity can endure strain, disagreement, and unfinished conversations without falling apart.

Grateful you’re here.

Many believers aren’t confused because they don’t care or because they’ve checked out — they’re worn down because they’ve been trying to keep up. News, commentary, and especially prophecy-related content now arrive with the same volume and intensity, often framed as urgent and critical, even when much of it isn’t. Over time, that pace wears on the mind and makes it harder to tell the difference between what truly matters and what’s just noise.

In this first episode of A Slower, Clearer Way Forward, we slow things down and name what’s really happening beneath the surface. We talk honestly about discernment fatigue, the pressure to stay constantly informed, and how end-times prophecy has often been turned into a frenzy that replaces trust with urgency. More importantly, we re-anchor ourselves in what Scripture makes clear: Jesus Christ is in control, nothing is catching Him by surprise, and faithfulness doesn’t require living on edge. This episode is an invitation to step back, regain clarity, and return to a steadier, more biblical way forward.

But far less attention is given to what these systems are doing to the human mind, to dependence, and to how power quietly shifts when decisions become automated. In this episode, we don’t focus on code, charts, or technical jargon. Instead, we step back and examine how AI-driven systems normalize surveillance, condition behavior, and reshape what people come to accept as “just the way things are.”

More importantly, we look at these developments through the lens Scripture gives us — not with panic or sensationalism, but with clarity and discernment. This is a conversation about infrastructure before enforcement, dependency before coercion, and why Christians are called to recognize patterns without surrendering peace. The world may be accelerating, but Christ remains sovereign — and that truth anchors everything.

Instead of recapping what went wrong or chasing predictions about what comes next, this broadcast is about one steady, biblical truth: God is not rushed, not surprised, and not shaken by the times we’re living in. In a world that feels accelerated and unsettled, this message is meant to re-anchor how we think about time, prophecy, and hope — not through fear or hype, but through the unchanging sovereignty of God.

This New Year’s special is a calm, clear-eyed reflection on how we as believers are called to live right now — alert without panic, grounded without drifting, and hopeful without illusion. While the world looks for fresh starts in a calendar, I hope that this episode points us back to where real confidence belongs: in Christ alone — whose throne is secure, whose promises are sure, and whose timing has never been off by a second.

🎉Happy New Year!

In this Christmas broadcast, I wanted slow things down and return to the heart of the season: the birth of Jesus Christ. This message looks at a few of the biblical prophecies surrounding Christ’s birth, how they were fulfilled with pinpoint accuracy, and why Christmas is not borrowed from pagan traditions, but rooted in Scripture and history.

A promised King entered the world humbly — not crowned in gold, but crowned in straw.

This episode is a reminder of why Christmas still matters today. My hope is that we can step away from the noise, address common misconceptions, and take time for reflection, Scripture, and the Gospel.

If you’ve felt overwhelmed by the season or disconnected from what Christmas is truly about, my hope is that this message helps you pause, remember God’s faithfulness, and refocus on the greatest gift ever given!

If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?” —Matthew 12:25-26 NKJV

We are living in one of the most divided periods in modern history—and it’s no longer just left versus right. In this episode, I examine how division has spread within political parties, culture, emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and most importantly the evangelical Church. We explore how division operates as a destructive force, the difference between biblical discernment and discord, and the spiritual cost of constant infighting.

This broadcast isn’t about pointing the finger, but about clarity, wisdom, and returning to truth in an increasingly fractured world. My hope is that we would allow the Lord to bring peace and unity where division is now reigning instead.

]]><![CDATA[The Day Grace Walked Into My Home—EPISODE.ONE]]>https://www.serpentsndoves.com/p/the-day-grace-walked-into-my-homeepisodeonehttps://www.serpentsndoves.com/p/the-day-grace-walked-into-my-homeepisodeoneFri, 12 Dec 2025 14:31:46 GMTIn today’s broadcast, I finally share my story—how the Lord rescued me and the long road of healing, restoration, and refining that’s shaped who I am today. From an early encounter with the gospel that shattered religious tradition, to the wounds of childhood abuse, the internal battles of my teenage years, the breaking and rebuilding of my marriage, my wilderness season after the Hurley years, and the calling God placed on my life to speak truth in a collapsing culture—this episode is raw, honest, and centered on the grace of Jesus Christ.

My prayer is that as you hear my journey, you’ll begin to recognize the faithfulness of God woven through your own story as well—through the wounds, the waiting, the unanswered questions, and even the seasons that felt wasted. I hope this episode reminds you that God is never absent, never late, and never finished with the work He’s doing in your life.

Until next time…

😁Have A Nice Day!👍🏻

“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” Matthew 11:15 NKJV

In this very first episode, I lay out why I stepped away from video and shifted into a voice-only format—for now. The digital world is overloaded with noise, trends, and shallow content, and somewhere in the middle of all that, the Lord made it clear I needed to strip everything back and focus on the message, not the medium. In this episode, I talk honestly about distraction, drift, discernment, and why clarity matters more than ever in a culture collapsing under confusion and deception. If you want to understand what this broadcast is about, why it exists, and where we’re headed, this is the place to start.

Until next time…

😁Have A Nice Day!👍🏻

]]><![CDATA[America's Favorite Holiday: Darkness And Evil As Entertainment]]>https://www.serpentsndoves.com/p/americas-favorite-holiday-darknesshttps://www.serpentsndoves.com/p/americas-favorite-holiday-darknessThu, 30 Oct 2025 08:22:33 GMTCharles Spurgeon once said that “The church that marries the spirit of this age will be a widow in the next.” And A.W. Tozer was quoted as saying that “The world is not merely unchristian but anti-Christian.” Two very powerful quotes by two giants of the faith. I’ve often times wondered what these men of the faith would say if they could see our world today. I’d guess that they would turn over in their graves—no pun.

To say that our “modern” world has embraced evil with open arms would be the understatement of the century, but that’s exactly what it’s done, and Halloween is a mirror image of said embrace. Though the origins of Halloween have been, continue to be and will always remain demonic at it’s core, satan’s efforts to bring societies into “submission” with evil was not always so overt. His campaign through the ages utilized not the true face of evil, but a more covert one—a subtle and very tame, almost “cute” and “innocent” face.

Thanks for reading Serpents & Doves®! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

When I was a kid, Halloween was definitely a day wherein the focus was on the amount of candy you’d get, or how cute your parents can make you look in your costume. “Scary” costumes back were an embarrasment to the word itself. They were more like defective face masks, products of a faulty assemble line or mask die. Yes, the witches, werewolves, vampires and even ghosts were about as evil as they got. And though I don’t approve of them, in all due honesty, the were child’s play compared to what we have today. Here are a few photos of kids dressed for Halloween in the 80’s I found online…

Satan is a “pro” in the area of subtlety. In all areas of compromise and immorality, this has been his modus operandi. You’d think that the church—if any—would have caught onto this decades ago, but the sad reality is that it’s been too preoccupied with getting “bench warmers” into the pews. More concerned with numbers than hearts. And so the enemy won a great battle: compromise! Little by little, increment by increment, evil became more evil, gore, sex, blood and murder became the norm in movies, and instead of rejecting it, society (and many within the church) embraced it. Not only that, but even celebrated it and marketed it.

Halloween is no longer a night. It’s no longer a day for candy and a cheap costume in the supermarket isle— it’s now an industry, a monster, a money making machine. Americans now spend over $12 billion a year. Yes, that ‘billion’ with a ‘B’ on costumes, candy, and décor — more than almost any other holiday, even Christmas!

Let that sink in for a minute. Just think about that. The celebration of darkness, evil, gore, murder, the occult, everything antithetical to Scripture is outspending the celebration of the Light of the world. The world no longer tries to hide its allegiance to evil anymore — it’s hanging it from every front porch and even the front door of many homes in America. But this isn’t about plastic skeletons any more — it’s now become much more than that. It’s about a culture, a society that’s not only embraced evil, but has fallen deeply in love with death, violence, the occult, murder, serial killers and much more. We live in a society and culture that applauds, praises and craves fear. And we know that fear is not of the Lord, but of satan!

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV

Many within the church do not believe in the very real fact that when evil is embraced, even as a means of “entertainment” (no such thing), doors are swung wide open in the spiritual world that screams to the demonic: “Come on in. You’re welcome in this place. Feel free to anything here. Mi casa es su casa!” When we make light of darkness, we invite it in—period!

Scripture tells us:

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose (or reprove) them.” —Ephesians 5:11 NKJV

Yet, the enemy has done something subtle — he’s rebranded evil as entertainment. Horror movies, ghost hunts, séances — all normalized. And tragically, even many in the church join in. So that begs the question: How are we supposed to reach the world if we are so busy immitating it? Paul reminds us to:

“…not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship (or what’s in common) has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion (or fellowship) has light with darkness?” —2 Corinthians 6:14

The truth is — Halloween glorifies fear. It makes light of and praises death. And it certainly elevates, exalts and intensifies deception — the very things Jesus conquered! It mocks holiness. It desensitizes us to the demonic. And it trains children to be comfortable, unfazed with symbols of death before they ever learn about the giver of true life, Jesus Christ!

And if you think for one minute that the church is immune to such deception, I’d strongly encourage you to think twice. I’ve spoken ad nauseum about the fact that the church is beyond sickly. Churches now host ‘Trunk-or-Treats,’ costume contests, and haunted houses — all under the guise of being relevant. They play songs like Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ and dress in some of the goriest costumes you’ve ever seen. This once again is done as a means to ‘be like the world to attract the world.’ What a lie straight from the pit of hell!

One church from Oklahoma called GUTS Church years ago would put on a haunted house “show” called ‘Nightmare’. It was beyond demonic. Their reasoning behind it was to show the real struggles teens experience. Bottom line, it was so graphic and beyond demonic that I can’t really show images except for the ones below. This is what one attendee said online about it:

“It was so messed up to put that imagery in front of kids. PTSD triggering if you had any of the experiences depicted. Drug overdose, drunk driving car crash, abortion . . . F@cked up.”

And another said:

“Live execution reenactments of children, by children. Mass death mockery, mostly children. Heavily exadurated acts of drug and alchohal abuse.. children. Oh yeah, and the Butcher Room, which featured dismembered bodies and dead fetuses while DyingFetus playing on the speakers. Provided by us of course, the proud deathcore loving kids of guts youth. For Christians, they really know how to do work that Satan would appreciate.”

Instead of doing God’s work, many churches are doing satan’s work, or better yet, working for satan. The rabbit hole of deception and fake churches runs deep! Beware!

God doesn’t need our help—no, we get to help. As children of the most High, we have the amazing privilege of being used by God in His work. But more often than not, ego gets in the way. Power gets in the way. Money gets in the way and the results are catastrophic—as we are currently witnessing.

We can never sanctify something that was born out of rebellion and evil. The early church refused to participate in pagan festivals because they understood that behind every idol and ritual were demonic powers hard at work against the light of Christ (1 Corinthians 10:20).

The same applies today. We may not burn offerings, but when believers celebrate what God calls detestable, we compromise our witness. We open doors to oppression. We become like the world, and God called us out of it! The enemy doesn’t need the world to worship him outright — he only needs believers to stop opposing darkness. And that’s why we as the church have lost the ‘high ground’.

Listen family, I’m not here to condemn — I’m just trying to remind us that we’ve been called out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9). The cross of Christ broke the power of death. We don’t need to flirt with it — we need to shine in the midst of it.

The world celebrates fear and evil for one night. But those of us that truly in Christ, for true believers, we celebrate victory over these things forever. Just remember though many hang skeletons at their doors, display cemetaries on their lawns and proudly exhibit serial murders as animatronics to illicit fear, we proclaim an empty tomb—we celebrate the giver of life, true liberty and freedom from everything the enemy stands for.

Jesus said:

“I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” —John 8:12 NKJV

Though times are dark, remember that the gospel will always shine the brightest!
