Being Calm in Christ
Today we’re discussing what living an appropriate Christian life looks like and how we can be calmly happy in Christ without worry. There is an appropriate way to live as God's children. When we are not calm in our hearts, we are tempted to live according to what we think is right or what feels...

Stand
A hurricane is heading toward Kauai, the wind is literally blowing through our garage as we record, and Paul's words have never felt more real: stand firm in the Lord. In this episode of Amen Podcast, we walk through Philippians 4:1-3 and talk about what it actually looks like to stand on…

walk
Walking with God when you feel nothing. There's a German word, Fernweh, that means far-sickness. Homesickness is longing for a place you came from. Fernweh is aching for a place you have never been. Every person alive has it. The question is what you do with it.In Philippians 3:15-21, Paul writes...
-
determined
In this episode we look at one verse, Philippians 3:14, and ask what Paul was actually hunting down from a prison cell while still full of joy. The Greek word for "press on" means to hunt. Saul hunted Christians. Then Christ hunted him. Everything changed. Paul spent the rest of his life chasing...
-
forget it
What do you need to forget? In Philippians 3:13, Paul writes from house arrest and says he is “forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead.” But no healthy human can actually erase their past. So what does the Bible mean by forget? In this episode of the Stress Less…

One Thing
What is your one thing? In this episode of the Stress Less series, Alex preaches Philippians 3:13 and Lokelani joins for the Q&A after the amen. Paul wasn’t scattered. He was a runner with his eyes on one finish line. Most of our stress doesn’t come from having too little. It comes from carrying...
-
Holy Dissatisfaction
Paul had something better than Mamba mentality. In Philippians 3:12 he says he has not obtained it and he is not already perfect, but he presses on to make it his own, because Christ Jesus made him His own. Warren Wiersbe called this holy dissatisfaction. We are content in Christ, but never…

Comparing
SPOTIFY DESCRIPTION Comparison is not just a bad habit. It is a confidence problem. In Philippians 3:4-7, Paul lists seven things that made him look impressive and then moves every one of them into the loss column. We talk about why we compare, what it costs us, and the only comparison that gives...
-
GODFIDENCE
Alex separated his AC joint racing the guys after church, and suddenly everything he took for granted with two working arms was gone. That’s the whole point of Philippians 3:1-3. Paul is writing to a church being pressured by Judaizers, people telling Gentile believers they had to become Jewish...
-
De-influenced
Most of our stress comes from people online telling us what to be, what to wear, what to buy, and where to go. Jesus frees us from all of that. In this episode of the Stress Less series through Philippians, Alex and Lokelani look at Epaphroditus, a man named after a pagan god who became one of...
-
Timothy
In Philippians 2:19-24, Paul couldn’t find anyone like Timothy to send to the Philippians. Why? Because Timothy stopped seeking his own interests and started seeking Christ’s kingdom instead. In this message, we break down what made Timothy different and how you can become the kind of person God...
-
Unmaxxing
Being a child of God is a privilege — and a responsibility. In Philippians 2:14-15, Paul says we're called to live without complaining, without arguing, without that dark inner dialogue — so we shine like stars in a crooked generation. In this episode, we talk about what it means to hold out the...
-
Unearned
You can't earn your salvation. So why does so much of Christian culture make you feel like you have to?In this episode of the Stress Less series, we look at Philippians 2:12-13, one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible. "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling" has been used to...
-
unseen
We are stressed because we are stuck thinking about ourselves. In Philippians 2:5-11, Jesus did not grasp His glory. He emptied Himself, served, and humbled Himself to the cross. Because we were never forgotten by God, we are free to forget ourselves. This is the freedom of self-forgetfulness…

Striving Together
Faith was never meant to be a solo sport. In this week's Stress Less episode, Pastor Alex unpacks Philippians 1:27-30 and the call to strive together. Paul tells the Philippians to push the gospel down the field as a team—standing firm, unafraid of opponents, and leaning on each other in seasons…

To Live is Christ
Paul wrote “to live is Christ, to die is gain” from a prison cell, not knowing if he’d live or die. And he was still steady, joyful, and free. In this episode we walk through Philippians 1:19-26 and unpack what it actually looks like to live that way, where Jesus is so much of your life that...
-
How to Handle Frustrations
Paul was in prison. People were preaching against him just to make his life harder. And he was still full of joy. How? In this episode of the Amen Podcast, Alex and Lokelani jump back into our Philippians “Stress Less” series with chapter 1:12-18, an episode we’re calling FRUSTRATIONS. Because...

holy aesthetic
Everyone talks about aesthetic. Your feed, your room, your coffee shop, your fit. But there’s a Greek word in the Bible that only shows up one time in the entire New Testament, and it might change the way you see your whole life. In this episode of Amen Podcast, Pastor Alex and Lokelani Wilson…

God’s Work
How God’s Work In You Will Never Stop (Philippians 1:3-8) Paul is on house arrest in Rome. Ten years removed from the Philippians. Awaiting a trial that could end his life. And when he picks up his pen to write to this little church in Macedonia, the first word out of his mouth isn’t fear. It’s...

UNSURPRISED
Stress Less PT. 1 Paul wrote Philippians from a prison cell. The whole letter is about joy. How? Welcome to Episode 1 of our new series, Stress Less: How the Cross is the Cure for Anxiety. We’re walking through the book of Philippians verse by verse to show you that you don’t have to live…

The Authority of Christ
We spent years in Matthew. And it ends here — not with a theology lecture, but with eleven doubting disciples on a mountain, a risen Jesus who doesn’t rebuke them, and a commission that changed the world. STUDY GUIDE:...
-
IMMOVABLE
The religious leaders just heard the news — Jesus is risen. So they bribe the guards, spread a lie, and use every political connection they have to bury it. None of it works. In this episode we’re in Matthew 28:11–15 looking at three ways people try to move God — bribery, dishonesty, and policy —...

What the empty tomb means 2000 years later
The tomb is empty. That changes everything. On the first Easter morning, two women showed up looking for a funeral — and got invited to a party. In this message from Matthew 28:1-10, we unpack three things the empty tomb means for your life today: you’re invited (not out of obligation, but love),...

Following Jesus Fully Devoted
In this episode, Alex walks through Matthew 27:57-61 and shows us three pictures of devotion from one of the most overlooked passages in the crucifixion story. Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and the two Marys weren’t doing anything spectacular. They were just doing what was right in front of…

#217 FINISHED
Jesus didn’t just die — He was forsaken. For 3 hours, darkness covered the land, and the Son of God cried out “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” — and the Father didn’t answer. In this episode, Alex walks through Matthew 27:46-50 and uncovers what actually happened in those 3 hours on…

Narrow Road
Most people think they’re going to heaven. But Jesus says the road to life is narrow — and few find it. Not many. Few. In this episode of the Amen Podcast, Alex and Lokelani sit in Matthew 7:13-14, right at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, and unpack one of the most sobering passages in all of...

Which Jesus Are You Following?

SILENCE AND SOVEREINGTY
Why did Jesus stay completely silent when falsely accused? And what does that mean for you when people come after you? In Matthew 27:12-14, Jesus stands before Pilate while the religious leaders hurl accusations at Him—and He doesn’t say a single word. Pilate is shocked. But Jesus’s silence…

Your Life Is Either a LIE or the TRUTH About Jesus
What does your life say about Jesus? The religious leaders had to LIE about who Jesus was to manipulate Pilate into killing Him. They twisted the truth to get what they wanted. But here’s the thing – our lives are constantly telling a story about Christ too. Whether through our words, actions,...

PRAISE

It's the Little Things
That feeling when something small seems like no big deal? Like skipping your quiet time just this once, or that harmless compromise you keep making?

DENYING
Here’s a simple podcast description: Why We Deny Jesus (And How to Stop) | Matthew 26:69-75 Peter denied Jesus three times in one night. A teenager cursed Jesus for $1,000. And if we’re honest, we deny Him too—for a smile, for acceptance, for FOMO, or just to fit in. In this episode, we break…
more -
BE STILL
In this message, we explore one of the most powerful moments in Scripture: Jesus standing before His accusers in complete silence. While false witnesses lied about Him, while they spit on Him and beat Him, Jesus said nothing. His silence wasn’t weakness—it was strength, trust, and love. We live…

Mary
What does it look like to worship Jesus when everyone around you thinks you’re wasting your time? In Matthew 26:1-13, we see two opposite responses to Jesus. Religious leaders plot His death in secret, thinking they’re in control. But Jesus knows exactly when He’ll die—on Passover, according to…
