[012] Mail Call (Season One)
Inmates answer your questions!
In the context of prison, what could we possibly enjoy as much as talking about the Wondrous Things from God's Law? Receiving a 'kite' from listeners like you! In this episode, we ask and answer your questions!
• How do You get a Haircut in Prison?
• What is The Coffee Situation Like in Prison?
• Should Jacob's Nickname be Changed to “Olaf"?

• What are the Largest Religious Groups in Prison?
[011] Suffering (Deep Dive)
Does God cause suffering? How do we avoid it?
In this episode, we take a Deep Dive into the theological and emotional reality of human suffering, connecting back to our discussion on God's sovereignty. Moving past shallow clichés, we examine where suffering originates, why a sovereign and loving God allows it to exist, and how to process raw pain through biblical lament. By looking at the life of Jesus, the promise of eternity, and the difference between punishment and divine refinement, this episode offers an anchoring truth for anyone navigating a difficult season: suffering is not proof of God's absence, but the canvas for His ultimate restoration.
[010] Prayer
What should a Christian expect out of prayer?
If God already knows everything we need, why do we have to articulate our prayers? And how are we supposed to handle it when God answers with a definitive "no" or seems completely silent? In this episode, we break down what prayer is actually supposed to be.
Moving away from the idea of God as a "cosmic vending machine," we look at the Lord's Prayer (Disciple's Prayer?), the difference between individual and corporate communion, and how to stay faithful during seasons of spiritual silence. Tune in for an honest conversation about bold requests, deep dependence, and what a Christian can truly expect out of a life of prayer.
[009] Grace vs Works
If God is sovereign, where does our effort fit?
If God’s grace is completely free and unearned, why does the Christian life require so much effort, obedience, and hard work? In this episode, we tackle the classic tension between grace, sovereignty, and human responsibility.
We break down the dangerous trap of legalism versus the vital discipline of spiritual growth, what "works of righteousness" actually accomplish, and how to respond when you keep falling into the same sin. Can you abuse grace? And what happens when a believer ignores the conviction of the Holy Spirit? Tune in as we look to Scripture to see why grace is an overflow of rescue—not an excuse for spiritual laziness.
[008] Repentance
Is repentance a One-Time Thing or a Lifestyle?
There is a massive difference between being broken over your sin and just being broken over getting caught. In this episode, we look at the vital link between repentance, obedience, and daily sanctification. Spoiler Alert: True repentance isn't a one-time transaction at an altar—it’s a daily lifestyle of turning away from the dark and running toward the light.
[007] Faith and Perseverance
Why Do People Walk Away From God?
There is a terrifying verse in the book of James: "Even the demons believe—and shudder." If the enemy has intellectual belief, then what does actual, saving biblical faith look like? In this episode we unpack the critical difference between acknowledging facts and heart-level trust, why people walk away from the faith, and the incredible reality that we don't survive the Christian race because we are strong, but because God refuses to let us go.
[006] Sovereignty (Deep Dive)
We are not just robots... are we?
What do we do with questions like these: "If God is in control of everything does prayer even matter?" "Is God in charge of the bad things that happen to us?" "Are we just robots walking around or do we have free will?" We take extra time in this episode (a deep dive!) to explore and work to answer these total normal questions Christians are faced with when trying to understand God's sovereignty.
[005] Trust
What If Trust Gets You Hurt?
Can You Really Trust Anyone at All?
In this episode... Obedience to the God of the Universe actually produces a deep trust in his promises and that what he says in his holy scriptures is true to hold onto for when your life is taking a hard turn. But what do we do when we place our trust in another sinful human dealing with the brokenness of their own life circumstances and that trust leads to our own hurt or deeper brokenness? How does trusting God with our lives affect our trust in others?
[004] Obedience
Does God Require Compliance or Trust?
In this episode... Is God only asking for our compliance or trusting his plan? What does it mean to delay our obedience? How do we avoid the King Saul trap? The essence of our thought lands in the pocket of God wanting your heart, not your rituals. So let your rituals lead your heart to God!
[003] Sanctification
Can You Actually Change?
Is believing in Jesus enough to change? What does it mean to be saved from your sin—and then put your sin to death? We work to debunk the myth of the "Instant" Christian.
[002] Salvation
Is Faith in Prison Real?
Can someone really be changed from the inside—out? Is only believing in Jesus enough to find that change? What about "Jailhouse Religion"?
