The PassionLife Podcast

Most sins in Scripture apply equally to men and women, but Ephesians 6:4 gives fathers a specific warning: do not provoke your children to anger. John Ensor and Mark Nicholson talk about how uncontrolled anger wounds children, and John shares what it was like to grow up with an alcoholic father. John and Noël Piper also describe how their own fathers shaped their faith, so learn why fatherhood matters so much and how you can raise your children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord on this episode of PassionLife.Be sure to subscribe to PassionLife The Podcast on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or your favorite podcast app so you never miss a single episode.Follow PassionLife on Rumble, Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to be kept up to date on everything God is doing through the work of PassionLife.Partner with PassionLife as a donor at https://www.passionlife.org/donate.Send Tiny Baby: https://tinybaby.org

John Piper says it's heresy to claim God took a risk by creating the world or sending his Son, because a God who knows everything and can do anything never has to guess how things will turn out. That same sovereign God is what frees you to step out in faith when you can't see the outcome, because nothing bad can happen to you that isn't good for you.

John Ensor and Mark keep unpacking John Piper's keynote on "Risk-Taking for Life and Fruitfulness," this time looking at what it means to suffer for the sake of Christ. John tells about his 1989 arrest at a peaceful pro-life sit-in in Boston, where he ended up preaching to 40 men in jail, and Mark tells about being pulled off a sidewalk by plainclothes police while he was a missionary in the Far East. Find out why suffering for the gospel shouldn't surprise you, how God gives boldness and peace when it comes, and why your fruitful life may depend on taking the risky road, on this episode of PassionLife.Be sure to subscribe to PassionLife The Podcast on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or your favorite podcast app so you never miss a single episode.Follow PassionLife on Rumble, Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to be kept up to date on everything God is doing through the work of PassionLife.Partner with PassionLife as a donor at https://www.passionlife.org/donate.Send Tiny Baby: https://tinybaby.org

For eight years John Piper couldn't stand in front of a group without his throat closing, he once accepted a C in civics rather than give an oral book report. Then a chaplain asked him to pray for thirty seconds in chapel, and the vow he made walking across campus that day set the course of his entire ministry.

John and Mark have both stood beside death this month — Mark marking the second anniversary of his 21-year-old son David's passing, and John saying goodbye to his 103-year-old mother-in-law Johnny, who spent her last hours on a broken hip preaching Christ to the EMTs. They talk honestly about the anguish of a life cut short and the satisfaction of a life lived long, why Scripture makes room for weeping and rejoicing at the same time, and what the shrinking lifespans of Genesis tell us about what we were made for.

In 2006, Miami-Dade County led the nation in abortions per capita and had not a single pregnancy help medical clinic — so Martha Avila and Jeannie Pernia left good jobs to open one, and 19 years later Heartbeat of Miami has rescued more than 75,000 babies and their mothers from abortion. They tell John Ensor what it cost: a stolen ultrasound machine their first week, vandalism and bomb threats after Roe fell, and the day Jeannie walked back through the doors of the very building where she once helped provide abortions — and where she aborted her own first child.

John Ensor and Mark Nicholson sit down with PassionLife Operations Manager Christian Harris as he and Mark prepare to board a plane for Mozambique — a country PassionLife had to cancel on in 2025 amid armed conflict, natural disasters, and post-election unrest.

In 1985, a frightened 17-year-old in Medellín, Colombia swallowed an abortifacient a relative had given her — and then, she says, saw the face of Jesus telling her, "I will forgive you." Her son Anderson Ocampo survived, was baptized under a different name because doctors expected him to die, and grew up with a voice too weak to shout on the soccer field — the same voice he now uses to train churches across Latin America to defend life. John Ensor and Mark Nicholson sit down with Anderson to hear the story behind the Faces of Choice commercial that aired during the World Cup, and to trace the providence of God through every improbable turn of it.

Hosts John Ensor and Mark Nicholson are joined by PassionLife teammate Stan Pawlowski and special guest Pastor Amit Paul of Calcutta, India. Amit leads PassionLife's growing pro-life movement across West Bengal — training pastors, launching the nation's first mother's home, and discipling leaders who disciple others in the country with the world's highest abortion rate. On a recent teaching trip, an angry Hindu mob surrounded him and demanded he leave, but God gave him the words to calm the crowd and open an unexpected door for future gospel work.

Many pastors stay silent on abortion, leaving people to wonder whether it's an unforgivable sin or an issue God doesn't much care about. John Ensor and Mark Nicholson unpack why so many leaders struggle to find their voice on this moral crisis—and how they can address it with clarity, courage, and the hope of the gospel rather than the weight of politics.

Scripture is full of both promises and boundaries: what is impossible for us becomes possible through God, yet certain things—like God lying or bending His moral will—remain impossible by His very nature.

Carrying a burdened conscience—whether from abortion, deep loss, or the everyday weight of living in a broken world—may be the heaviest load a soul can bear, yet Jesus offers a promise unlike any other: "I will give you rest." In this episode, Mark Nicholson and John Ensor meditate on Matthew 11:28–30, exploring how these comfortable words contrast with the false rest the world offers and how they've watched guilt turn to peace on the faces of women across the mission field.
