-
196
197. “The Word of The Lord” (Jeremiah 1:1-9)
“The word of the Lord came…” — simple phrase, heavy responsibility. In Jeremiah 1, a young, reluctant prophet encounters the voice that would shape his calling, his message, and his life.This episode is about calling, divine communication, and what happens when God’s word finds you.

195. “In the last days” (Joel 2:28-31)

-
190
191. “No Divisions” (1 Corinthians 1:10-17)
The church was never meant to be a fan club. Yet from the beginning, people started picking sides — “I’m with Paul,” “I’m with Apollos,” “I’m with Peter.” And Paul said, “Stop it.”This episode is about unity, ego, and why division weakens what God designed to be one body.

-
187
187. “The Sound of Rain” (1 Kings 18:41-45)
God already spoke — rain was promised. But Elijah still went up to pray. This episode is about partnering with prophecy — understanding that what God says doesn’t cancel the need for prayer… it activates it.
-
186
186. “Paul’s defence” (Acts 26:24-32)
Paul is literally on trial… and still preaching. In this moment, what should’ve been a defence turns into a sermon — bold, unapologetic, and a little uncomfortable for everyone in the room.Because when you’ve seen the truth, you don’t just defend it — you declare it.

185. “Understanding Angels Pt. 1” | Psalms 8
Let’s talk about angels — not the cute, harp-playing kind. The real ones. The ones that make warriors tremble and prophets fall flat on their faces. 👀In this episode, we open Psalms 8 and begin our deep dive into the mystery of angels — who they are, what they do, and why God made them care about humans at all. Spoiler: they’re not your dead relatives with wings.Here’s what we get into: The real biblical hierarchy — man, angels, and God’s glory. Why angels marvel at humanity’s divine privilege. What their roles actually are (and what they’re not). The thin line between reverence and obsession when it comes to angelic beings. How understanding angels helps you understand your own authority in Christ.This is Part 1 — consider it your angelic orientation class. Grab your Bible, your curiosity, and maybe a helmet. It’s about to get heavenly. 😇

184. “Sabbath” | Hebrews 4:1-7
Rest — that thing everyone says they want but never actually take. In this episode, we dive into what the Bible really means by “Sabbath,” beyond naps and Netflix. We’re talking about divine rest — the kind that resets your soul, not just your schedule.If you’ve ever felt guilty for resting or thought rest was laziness in disguise, this one’s your wake-up call.In this episode, we unpack: Why God’s idea of rest isn’t optional — it’s sacred. How the “rest” in Hebrews 4 goes way deeper than a day off. The danger of running on spiritual autopilot while calling it “faith.” Why peace isn’t the absence of work, but the presence of trust. How to stop working for God and start resting in Him.
-
183
183. “When God Visits” (Genesis 18)
When God shows up, nothing stays the same. In Genesis 18, He visits Abraham — not with thunder or lightning, but with a promise that sounded impossible. This episode is about divine timing, hospitality, and how God often disguises visitation as an ordinary moment.We talk about: • How to recognize when God is closer than you think. • The power of welcoming divine interruptions. • Why faith sometimes looks like laughter (just ask Sarah). • What happens when promise finally meets presence.God still visits — the question is, will you recognize Him when He does?
-
182
182. “God’s Mistake” (1 Samuel 15:10-17)
God regretted making Saul king.” Wait—what? Did God make a mistake? In this episode, we unpack one of the most shocking verses in Scripture and what it really means when God “changes His mind.”It’s not about divine error — it’s about human pride, obedience, and how success can turn you into the very thing God warned you about.We dive into: • What “God’s regret” actually reveals about His heart. • How Saul’s pride turned anointed purpose into rebellion. • The danger of performing obedience instead of living it. • Why losing God’s approval is worse than losing a crown.Sometimes the real mistake isn’t God’s — it’s ours, when we stop listening.
-
181
181. “Potiphar’s Wife” (Genesis 39:6-12)
The scandal in Egypt. Potiphar’s wife shot her shot — and Joseph said, “Nah, I fear God.” This one’s about temptation, boundaries, and choosing purpose over pleasure.We talk about: • Why temptation always looks like opportunity. • How Joseph’s “no” was spiritual strategy, not pride. • The cost of integrity when no one’s watching. • Keeping your purpose louder than your passions.
-
180
180. “Light” (Genesis 1:1-4)
“In the beginning…” and boom — Light!Before there was sun, moon, or stars, God said “Let there be.” And there was. This episode takes it all the way back — not just to creation, but to the very idea of illumination: how God’s light changes everything it touches, including you.
-
179
179. “Job, God & Satan” (Job 35)
Job’s story isn’t just about suffering — it’s about perspective. In this episode, we zoom in on Job 35, where Elihu steps in with some fiery theology and forces us to ask the hard question: What if your pain isn’t punishment — it’s perspective?Forget the Sunday school version — this is Job unfiltered: raw, confused, faithful, and face-to-face with mystery.We talk about: • Why bad things happen to good people (and the answer that isn’t cliché). • The role of Satan in testing, not defining, your faith. • God’s silence — is it absence or strategy? • What Elihu got right (and what he really didn’t). • How to stay grounded when heaven feels quiet.This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt attacked, unseen, or misunderstood by God. Sometimes the test isn’t to prove your weakness — it’s to reveal His strength in you. 💭

177. “Peace after Warfare” (Nahum 1:7-15)

-
176
176. “Heaven & The Worthy Lamb” (Revelations 5:1-9)

-

-
168
168. “Prophetic Retirement & Reserves” (1 Kings 19:9-13)
Elijah had fire in his bones—and still, he ran.Not because he lacked power, but because he was empty. Tired. Done.This episode is for the ones who gave everything, heard God clearly, obeyed faithfully… and still feel like hiding in a cave.We talk about:– The burnout no one warns prophets about– Why God often whispers instead of shouting– What “retirement” looks like when your soul needs rest– And how God always keeps a reserve, even when you feel like the last one left
-
167
167. “Holy Mary & Joy of Salvation” (Habakkuk 3:16-19)
Mary didn’t just carry a child—she carried salvation, and with it, the kind of joy that doesn’t depend on circumstance.Like Habakkuk, she rejoiced not because everything made sense, but because she trusted the One who sent the promise.In this episode, we talk about:– The quiet power of surrender– Joy that survives fear, shame, and uncertainty– And why both Mary and Habakkuk teach us that true joy is rooted in salvation, not situation.When everything shakes—joy remains.

163. “The Promise” (John 14:15-21)
Let’s talk about the kind of love that holds weight. The kind that obeys, listens, and trusts even when it’s hard. In this episode, we dive into John 14:15–21—where Jesus drops a promise not just of comfort, but of presence. The Holy Spirit isn’t a vague church thing—it’s real help for real life. This one’s for anyone who’s felt alone, confused, or on the edge of letting go. You’re not forgotten. The Promise still stands.
-
162
162. “Witnesses” (Acts 1:6-9, John 16:5-15)
Jesus didn’t leave us clueless—He left us charged. Right before ascending, He drops one last line: “You will be my witnesses.” No halos, no filters—just humans powered by the Holy Spirit to tell the truth about what they’ve seen, heard, and lived.This episode is about stepping into that witness role—not as perfect people, but as Spirit-filled storytellers. What does it really mean to represent Jesus in a loud, messy world? And how do we do it without losing ourselves?
-
161
161. “The Immoral Brother” (1 Corinthians 5:1-8)
There’s messy—and then there’s Corinthian church messy. In this episode, we’re cracking open Paul’s spicy letter where he calls out a brother caught in scandal and a whole church acting like it’s fine. Spoiler: it’s not.

-
159
159. “David’s praise” (146:1-10)
David was in his praise era—no long talk, just full-body hallelujahs. In this episode, we sit with Psalm 146 and unpack the kind of praise that doesn’t need perfect circumstances to erupt. It’s the kind that trusts God over princes, vibes on faith, and celebrates a God who lifts the low, loves the outcast, and keeps it real forever.
-
158
158. “Strength in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:1-10)
What if your biggest flex is… your thorn?

157. “Jacob’s dream” (Genesis 28:10-19)

-
156
156. “Ebenezer” (1 Samuel 7:7-14)
when Samuel raises a stone and names it “Ebenezer,” meaning “Thus far the Lord has helped us.” This is more than just a stone—it’s a symbol of God’s faithfulness and a reminder that no matter the battle, God has been with us every step of the way.

-
155
155. “The Ark of God” (1 Samuel 7:1-6)

After years of separation, the Ark was returned to Israel, and the people were tasked with faithfully caring for God’s presence in their midst. It wasn’t just about physical maintenance—it was about a deep, continuous spiritual commitment. How do we keep God’s presence central in our lives for the long haul?
-
154
154. “The template of Prophecy” (Acts 2:17-22)
You know that moment when someone says “God told me…” and you freeze like—did He really, though? This episode, we’re diving into the divine blueprint for prophecy straight from Acts 2:17-22. Spoiler alert: God is an equal-opportunity revealer—sons, daughters, old folks, visionaries, and dreamers are all on the list.We’re talking Holy Spirit outpourings, dreams that make sense (and some that don’t), and why prophecy isn’t just for folks with church microphones and shiny suits. If you’ve ever felt a tug, a whisper, or a dream that shook you awake, this one’s for you.Let’s decode the template—because God’s been speaking. The question is: are you listening?Reflection Prompts: When was the last time you felt God speaking to you—through a dream, a person, or a word? Do you believe you’re included in God’s prophecy plan? Why or why not? What scares or excites you most about receiving a word from God?I
-
153
153. “Pontius Pilate” (John 19:1-13)
Pontius Pilate: the man, the myth, the… pun? In this episode of Looli Podcast, we look at how Pilate — this Roman governor with power in his hands and fear in his heart — became a divine plot device. A man caught between politics and prophecy. He tried to stay neutral, but in a story written by God, neutrality doesn’t exist. From washing his hands to questioning truth, Pilate ends up being a walking contradiction — a symbol of what happens when power meets purpose and flinches.
-
152
152. “Why did Jesus Curse the fig tree?” (Mark 11:12-19)
Okay, but real talk—why did Jesus get hangry and curse a fig tree that wasn’t even in season? Was it just a bad day, or is there something deeper going on? In this episode, we unpack this strange (and slightly dramatic?) moment in Mark 11. Spoiler: it’s not just about figs.Then—plot twist—Jesus heads straight to the temple and flips the whole place upside down. Literally. Tables flying, doves scattered, coins everywhere. He wasn’t just clearing out vendors; he was making a statement. One moment a cursed tree, the next a cleansed temple. What’s the link?We’re diving into what this double drama says about fruitfulness, fake appearances, unchecked religion, and how Jesus does not play when it comes to performative faith. It’s about Israel. It’s about us. It’s about checking your spiritual fig tree and flipping some tables in your life.
-
151
151. “The Gifts of the Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:1–11)
Let’s talk spiritual gifts—because yes, you’ve got one. No, it’s not just for pastors or people who talk in King James English. In this episode, we’re digging into 1 Corinthians 12:1–11, where Paul breaks it all the way down: different gifts, same Spirit. No competition, no copy-paste, just divine customization.In this episode: • Why your spiritual gift isn’t random—it’s intentional • How to stop comparing and start walking in your lane • The gift isn’t for hype—it’s for helping • Discernment: knowing when to speak, when to move, and when to chillWhether you’re rocking the mic, healing hearts, or just trying to figure out what your gift even is—this one’s for you.Press play, find your power, and stop sleeping on what the Spirit already gave you.
-
150
150. “Repentance” (Ezekiel 18:29-32)
In this sermon, Israel break down repentance—not as a churchy guilt trip, but as God’s open invitation to turn around and start fresh. Ezekiel 18:29–32 shows us that no matter how messy your past is, God is still saying: “Turn from your ways and live.”This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about choosing life over regret.Key Takeaways: God wants transformation, not just tears Repentance is strength—it takes courage to change Your story doesn’t end with your mistakes You’re never too far gone to come back
-
149
149. “Mary & Judas” (John 12:1-11)
Let’s be real—Mary and Judas were in the same room, saw the same Jesus, and had very different responses. One poured out her most precious possession in worship. The other scoffed, pretending to care about the poor while hiding a selfish agenda. Yeah… we’ve all seen that energy before.In this message, we dive into the beauty of bold, timely faith—Mary’s act wasn’t just emotional, it was discerning. She knew it was time to act, to give, to worship. Judas? He missed the moment completely.Here’s what we’re unpacking: • The difference between fake concern and real devotion • Discernment: knowing when to act in faith—and when to shut up and sit down • How worship will cost you something, but it’ll never be wasted • Why mercy sees past appearances and straight into the heartThis is for the believers who want to stop second-guessing their worship, and start moving with purpose. Because when God prompts you to pour it out—it’s not the time to be calculating.Listen, reflect, and maybe ask yourself: In a room with Jesus, would I be pouring oil—or throwing shade?Tap in, share it, and let’s grow—unfiltered and full of grace.
