Countdown With Eli

We continue this great conversation, This is a very important topic that not many people are talking about. Let's dive in!

All believers go through moments of doubt; this is when we grab hold of our faith more than ever, not walk away from it. There are things we have to unlearn, but this is where His word plays an essential role in our lives.

What does it mean to carry your own wood? We see Jesus show us what it is to live in humility. Isaac carried the wood for his own sacrifice, as a typology of the one who carried the cross, we must carry our cross daily.

Division From Within. In this episode, we tackle one of the most dangerous threats to any person, church, or nation—not the attacks from the outside, but the division that starts within. Why is internal division so destructive? How does it begin? And more importantly, how can we guard our hearts and stay united in truth? We dive into Scripture to uncover how disunity, offense, pride, and misunderstanding can quietly tear things apart—and what God calls us to do instead. Unity doesn’t mean compromise; it means standing together in truth, love, and purpose. If you’ve ever felt the tension of broken relationships, church hurt, or internal struggle, this episode is for you.

In this thought-provoking episode, we tackle a question that many believers wrestle with: Do tattoos please God?Looking beyond culture, trends, and personal opinions, we dive into Scripture to uncover what the Bible really says—and what it doesn’t say—about tattoos.Is it a matter of the heart, or does outward appearance carry spiritual weight? How should Christians approach personal expression in a world that constantly redefines identity? Whether you have tattoos, are considering one, or simply want clarity, this episode challenges you to think biblically, not culturally.Join us as we explore truth, conviction, grace, and the deeper question behind it all: What truly honors God?

Are aliens real? And more importantly… does the Bible say anything about them?In this episode of the Countdown Podcast, “Aliens Among Us?”, we dive into one of the most talked-about and mysterious topics of our time. From popular theories and cultural fascination to firsthand claims people make, we explore what people are saying about extraterrestrials—and then bring it back to Scripture.Does the Bible mention anything that could relate to aliens? Are these encounters something physical, spiritual, or misunderstood altogether? We break down common ideas and examine them through a biblical lens, focusing on truth, discernment, and what God’s Word actually reveals.This isn’t about fear or hype—it’s about understanding, wisdom, and staying grounded in truth in a world full of questions.👍 Like💬 Comment your thoughts—what do you believe about aliens?🔔 Subscribe for more real, Scripture-centered conversations from the Countdown Podcast

What happens when a nation stops putting God first?In this episode of the Countdown Podcast, “God First,” we talk about the importance of returning to a foundation that honors God above everything else. From culture to leadership to everyday life, we explore what it means for a nation to seek God first—and what happens when it doesn’t.We also take time to discuss why Israel must remain in our prayers, and the biblical call for believers to stand in intercession for God’s people and His purposes in the earth. This episode is a reminder that real change doesn’t start in politics—it starts with hearts turning back to God.This is a call to realign, to pray, and to live with God at the center of everything.

God is not random—He is a God of order.In this episode of the Countdown, “Jehovah: The God of Order,” we explore how God moves with purpose, structure, and divine alignment. Throughout Scripture, breakthrough never comes through chaos or disorder—it comes when God’s people walk in His order, His timing, and His ways.We talk about what it means to truly put God first, how misalignment can delay what God wants to do in our lives, and why obedience and structure are often the keys to the breakthrough we’re praying for. From our priorities to our decisions, God calls us to live in a way that reflects His nature—intentional, disciplined, and submitted to Him.This episode is a reminder that breakthrough isn’t just about asking God to move—it’s about positioning ourselves according to His divine order.

“The devil made me do it.”But did he really?In this episode of the Countdown Podcast, we confront a mindset that’s become all too common—avoiding accountability by shifting blame. From everyday decisions to deeper spiritual struggles, it’s easy to point fingers at others… or even at the devil. But Scripture calls us to something higher: ownership, repentance, and transformation.We dive into what the Bible says about personal responsibility, how blame has been part of human nature since the beginning, and why real growth starts when we stop making excuses. Yes, spiritual warfare is real—but so is our responsibility to choose obedience, humility, and truth.This episode challenges us to stop deflecting and start dealing—with honesty, with maturity, and with a heart that’s ready to change.

In this episode of the Countdown Podcast, we explore a pattern that has repeated itself throughout human history—the desire for power, control, and authority. From modern conflicts to ancient kingdoms, humanity has always wrestled with the urge to dominate.We begin by looking at what is happening in Iran today and how political power struggles reveal something deeper about the human condition. Then we turn to Scripture and examine the story of Herod the Great, a ruler so obsessed with maintaining control that he ordered the killing of innocent children when he heard a new King had been born.The Bible shows us that this power struggle isn’t new—it’s a reflection of the fallen nature of humanity. But Scripture also reminds us that while men seek to rule the world, God alone is sovereign over nations, kings, and history itself.This episode is a conversation about power, pride, prophecy, and the tension between human kingdoms and the Kingdom of God.If you enjoy conversations that connect current events, history, and Scripture, this episode is for you.

Iran has changed dramatically since the 1970s—and those changes tell a deeper story than headlines alone can explain. In this episode of the Countdown Podcast, we look at Iran through a biblical lens, tracing how a nation once open and flourishing became deeply broken, and why Scripture reminds us that God’s discipline is never without purpose.The Bible says, “Is not My word like a fire… and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” (Jeremiah 23:29). We explore how God uses His Word not just to tear down, but to prepare the way for restoration. This conversation isn’t about condemnation—it’s about redemption, prophecy, and hope. God breaks in order to heal. He humbles in order to restore.As history unfolds, we’re reminded that no nation is beyond God’s reach and no people are forgotten. What looks like devastation may actually be preparation for renewal.👉 Like, subscribe, and join the conversation as we look at world events through Scripture, not fear—and history through the lens of hope.

This past weekend, ICE protesters walked into the church—and it raised an important conversation the Church can’t ignore. In this episode, we discuss openly what it means for the Church to remain bold in truth while still speaking and responding with love. Scripture calls believers to stand firm without becoming harsh, to be courageous without becoming cruel, and to reflect Christ even in moments of tension and disruption.We discuss how the Church should respond when cultural issues collide with sacred spaces, why love does not mean silence, and how boldness must always be anchored in the character of Jesus. This is not about politics—it’s about discipleship, discernment, and how the Church represents Christ in a divided world.Our prayer is that this conversation helps believers stay grounded, courageous, and Christlike—holding truth in one hand and love in the other.👍 Like, 💬 comment, and 🔔 subscribe for more conversations rooted in Scripture and real-life moments facing the Church today.

In this episode, Lawlessness, we take a closer look at what Scripture means when it speaks about a rise in lawlessness and why this warning is so significant for believers today. The Bible describes lawlessness not merely as social disorder or moral decline, but as a spiritual condition—one rooted in rejecting God’s authority, truth, and design. Through the teachings of Jesus and the writings of the apostles, we explore how lawlessness begins in the heart, how it manifests in culture and even within faith communities, and why discernment and obedience matter more than ever. This conversation is an invitation to examine our alignment with God’s Word and to remain steadfast, faithful, and anchored in truth in a world that increasingly resists it.👍 Like, Share & Subscribe to support faith-based content that sparks deep, meaningful conversations.📱 Follow us online:👉 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/16b3JKmQLg/?mibextid=wwXIfr 👉 YouTube: https://youtube.com/@countdownwitheli1?si=yjTUnhGMdPFoOSN 👉 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@countdownwitheli?_t=ZP-8xGroqRJg7i&_r=1 👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6KE1WGlTtjkaAUQ1V8sqwU?si=EM-LYxC2QkGTcslzNubdzg👉Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/countdown-with-eli/id1823246322🌎To Support This Ministry, Visit Our Square Sitehttps://countdownwitheli.square.site/product/one-time-donation-enter-your-donation-amount-/R5WD7OYG5QGYYCWOGBTIBKLC?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=false&q=false

Be Silent, Oh My SoulIn this episode, we reflect on how often we are too quick to speak, react, and fill the silence—when what our souls truly need is stillness. We discuss the power of waiting, listening, and trusting God in quiet moments, rather than rushing for answers or control.This conversation is an invitation to slow down, quiet the noise, and allow God to speak when we choose silence over striving.
