Feb 2500:47:27Tap to summarizeIn this episode of the Greater Than Podcast, Elijah Murrell sits down with Kirk DuBois for a powerful and raw testimony of transformation.Before ministry, before Rhema, before miracles — there were drugs, the occult, and supernatural encounters that brought fear instead of peace.

What began as curiosity led to a life-altering moment that replaced darkness with the presence and peace of God.Kirk opens up about the difference between counterfeit spiritual experiences and the genuine power of the Holy Spirit. He recounts powerful stories from the mission field — blind eyes opened, bodies healed, demons cast out — and explains why the presence of God is unlike anything the occult could offer.The conversation also dives into practical wisdom on being led by the Spirit. Kirk shares how grounding yourself in the Word of God is essential for discerning the voice of the Holy Spirit in a noisy world.

Transcribe →Was Jesus An Immigrant?
Feb 1800:31:30Tap to summarizeWas Jesus an immigrant?It’s a question being asked more and more—often loudly, emotionally, and politically. But instead of reacting to the noise, this episode of the Greater Than Podcast slows the conversation down and asks a better question:What does the Bible actually say?In this episode, Elijah Murrell walks through Scripture and historical context to examine the claim that Jesus was an “illegal immigrant.” Rather than preaching politics or personal opinions, this conversation stays anchored in the Word of God and the realities of the Roman world in which Jesus lived.You’ll hear a careful look at:Luke 2 and the Roman census under Caesar AugustusMatthew 2 and Jesus’ temporary stay in EgyptThe difference between immigration, refuge, and relocationHow Judea and Egypt functioned under the same Roman authorityWhy using Jesus to support modern political narratives—on any side—misses the pointThe episode also explores:Acts 17:26 and God’s role in nations and boundariesLeviticus 19 and what Scripture actually means by loving the foreignerThe biblical framework for foreigners who joined IsraelRomans 13 and submission to governing authoritiesAbraham as a foreigner who honored law, order, and authority (Genesis 23)This is not about defending a party or attacking one.It’s about refusing to turn Jesus into a political symbol.WAYS TO CONNECT WITH ELIJAH 👇🏾Support "GTP" with a one-time or recurring tax-deductible donation here:Www.murrellministries.com/giveInvite Elijah to speak at your church or conference:https://www.murrellministries.com/ministry-requestGet Elijah's book that redefines tithing and generosity https://a.co/d/04IlbxD

Jan 2100:39:53Tap to summarizeRomans 13 has been weaponized for years—but what did Paul actually mean?In this episode of the Greater Than Podcast, Elijah Murrell dives into Scripture—not politics—to unpack Romans 13, submission to governing authorities, honoring leaders while upholding conscience, and what it truly means for government to be God’s minister for good, not unchecked power.Paul wrote these words during the brutal reign of Nero, yet still urged believers to pray for kings and all in authority (1 Timothy 2:1–2). We explore how Christians can honor authority without compromising truth, resist injustice when it defies God, and live out a faith marked by both order and courage.This conversation also draws from early church history, including Justin Martyr’s defense before Roman rulers, and examines how Christian apologetics shaped the church’s response to power, persecution, and public life.In This Episode:What biblical submission to authority really meansWhere the limits of government authority are according to ScriptureHow Christians should respond to unjust or tyrannical leadershipWhy Romans 13 does not teach blind obedience.
