This claim is exploding on TikTok and comes up constantly in street evangelism. In this episode of Faithful Path, Average Joe responds to a viral video from a self-described seminary graduate and “30+ year Christian” who now says the more biblical statement is “God is evil.”

We go straight to Scripture to lay a foundation:

• Romans 1 – God’s wrath against ungodliness and the suppression of truth

• Why people judge God by their own standards

• The flood in Genesis – violence, corruption, and God’s justice

• Exodus 34 – Yahweh is compassionate and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished

• Genesis 3 – the real root of the problem (wanting to be God)

• Who God actually is: holy, triune, and perfect

Practical help for anyone who shares the gospel: what to say when someone claims God is evil.

From Donald McGavran’s Homogeneous Unit Principle to today’s entertainment-driven churches, we trace how man-centered strategies replaced bold Gospel proclamation. We also address the common misuse of Matthew 6:5 against street preaching and why public proclamation of Christ is still commanded.

The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16). We must not be ashamed.

If you're tired of lukewarm Christianity and want to obey the Great Commission, this episode is for you.

But is that what Jesus actually meant?

In this powerful excerpt from the Faithful Path Podcast, we go straight to the text and show how Matthew 6 is *not* a prohibition against public preaching — it’s a warning about *heart motive* and private prayer.

Jesus isn’t telling us to hide our faith. He’s confronting pride and performance. True prayer and true witness both flow from a heart that seeks God’s approval, not man’s.

If you’ve ever been discouraged from sharing the Gospel publicly, or if you’ve been told “just keep it private,” this episode is for you.

I break down the massive differences between American chattel slavery (one of the most evil systems in history) and biblical slavery under Levitical law — which more closely resembled regulated indentured servitude or a form of employment. I explain how God regulated practices like slavery and divorce (Matthew 19) without approving of them, because He deals with a fallen, sinful world.

This episode tackles tough questions head-on:

Was biblical slavery actually "a job" with protections?

How do Levitical laws apply (or not apply) to modern society?

Why does God regulate evil instead of instantly abolishing it?

If you've ever been challenged on slavery in the Bible, this one is for you. Honest, biblical, and unapologetic.

I dive deep into the reality of spiritual warfare on the streets: the attacks, the discouragement, the unseen battles, and the subtle traps that can take down even the most passionate evangelists. But this isn’t just a warning — it’s a battle plan.

Discover how to fight every danger through the two greatest weapons God has given us: fervent prayer and hiding His Word in our hearts. Learn practical ways to stay humble, stay armored, and stay effective for the Kingdom while preaching the Gospel in public.

If you’re called to street ministry, evangelism, or open-air preaching, this episode is a must-listen. Protect your calling before the dangers destroy it.

I open up about why street preaching actually works, even in unlikely places like music festivals. You’ll also hear a compelling conversation I had with a man about morality, reincarnation, evolution, and how the truth of the gospel cuts through every worldview.

Whether you’ve ever felt intimidated about sharing your faith or you’re already active in evangelism, this episode will encourage and equip you to step out boldly. The harvest is plentiful — and the fields are sometimes filled with music, tents, and thousands of searching souls.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start sharing the gospel, let this be it. Jesus is still changing lives one conversation at a time.

Let’s go take the gospel to the streets — and the festivals.

I walk through Matthew 17:3 and show how the Bible clearly reveals Christ’s divine glory. I also share practical ways you can use Scripture to confidently demonstrate that Jesus is the Son of God when talking with Muslims or anyone questioning His identity.

Whether you’re new to evangelism or looking for encouragement, this episode will inspire you to step out and share the truth with love — even when the conversation starts in unexpected places.

I share honest thoughts on the divide, the misunderstandings, and how both callings are desperately needed if we’re going to reach the world with the message of Jesus. Unity isn’t optional — it’s essential.

You’ll also hear a powerful and timely message from Pastor Clay Hall that I believe every evangelist needs to listen to. His words are both challenging and encouraging, and they hit straight to the heart of what effective evangelism and church partnership should look like.

If you’re a pastor, an evangelist, or a believer who wants to see the Body of Christ working in harmony, this episode will stir you up and give you a fresh perspective.

🎧 Tune in now and let’s bridge the gap for the sake of the Gospel!

From the massive crowds and high-energy atmosphere to the incredible conversations, divine appointments, and everything we saw and heard on the ground, I share it all. You’ll hear real stories from the streets, the challenges we faced, the victories we witnessed, and how God moved in the midst of one of America’s biggest sporting events.

Rooted in Acts 4:20 — “For we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard” — this episode is both a testimony and a challenge. My prayer is that it stirs you up to step out of your comfort zone and start sharing your faith right where you are.

Whether you’re already active in evangelism or just thinking about it, this one will encourage and equip you to go and tell others about Jesus.

In 2 Timothy, Paul warns Timothy about people who have “a form of godliness but deny its power” (2 Tim 3:5), who are “always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Tim 3:7). He describes false teachers, lovers of self, and a culture that will not endure sound doctrine (2 Tim 4:3–4).

But Paul doesn’t leave Timothy (or us) hopeless. He commands: remain grounded in the sacred Scriptures (2 Tim 3:14–17), be equipped for every good work, and do the work of an evangelist—preach the word, fulfill your ministry (2 Tim 4:1–5).

In this episode, we confront this sobering reality head-on and call believers back to the real thing: a life centered on Christ, rooted in Scripture, and poured out in bold Gospel proclamation.

If you’re tired of shallow, fruitless religion, this episode is for you. Let’s get back to Christ — not just in name, but in power."
