“The reason this podcast is now called Awake comes straight from Scripture—‘Awake, O sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’ This is a call to wake up spiritually, to move past comfort, past tradition, and into a faith that transforms lives. If you’re tired of surface-level Christianity, you’re in the right place.
Faith was never meant to be lived asleep. This is a wake-up call—to truth, to love, to real discipleship. If you’re ready to open your eyes and walk it out, welcome to Awake.”

Will You?
1w ago00:21:55Tap to summarizeJohn 5:1–9This morning I want to ask you something serious…Are you willing?The Bible says there was a multitude of impotent folk gathered there.Not important but impotent folkThat wording matters.Because “impotent” means powerless… ineffective… unable to produce results—whether physically or spiritually.These were people who were stuck. Broken. Unable to fix what they were in.Send us Fan Mail https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4dPastorTomCrandall@gmail.com

2w ago00:27:48Tap to summarizeMother’s Day is more than flowers and cards—it’s about recognizing a life poured out daily.A mother’s entire world often revolves around her children. Not just being a parent, but being present. In a distracted world, her presence becomes one of the greatest gifts she can give.She becomes a strong tower in the home—steady when everything else feels uncertain. When storms hit the family, it’s often mama who stands firm, holding things together when no one else even realizes it’s falling apart.A mother’s life is filled with constant questions—Send us Fan Mail https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4dPastorTomCrandall@gmail.com

He knows your name
3w ago00:21:12Tap to summarizeThis morning I want to ask you to be patient with me.The Lord laid this on my heart last Sunday night, and I want to be faithful to what He’s been dealing with me about.Kerry and I had some fellow firemen and fire ladies over at the house. We were working on the pool, trying to get it finished up, and like always, my phone was hooked to the speaker playing music.And in the middle of that, a song came on… and I’ll be honest with you—it was disgusting. It was not something that honored the Lord.I was embarrassed. Not just a little uncomfortable—but ashamed. And of course, they heard it. Nobody was being judgmental, nobody was attacking me, but one of them kind of laughed and said, “Is that the preacher’s after-hours playlist?”Some of you might chuckle at that, but in that moment it wasn’t funny to me. It was embarrassing—not just for me, but for my wife… and most importantly, for my Savior.And in that moment, the Lord spoke—not in an audible voice, but in that still, quiet way He deals with the heart.And He said, “Son… who are you when nobody is around—and does it match who you are when everybody is watching?”And so this morning, I want to bring that question to you:Who are you… really?Send us Fan Mail https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4dPastorTomCrandall@gmail.com

When Prayer Walks in
Apr 2600:21:37Tap to summarizeOpening:Many times in life, we find ourselves praying prayers that feel like they only hit the ceiling. We run to people… we ask others to pray…But the truth is— we’ve learned how to say prayers… without ever learning how to live a life of prayer.There is a difference between speaking words… and walking in relationship.In Mark chapter 5, Jairus shows us what real prayer looks like.The Bible says he didn’t send a message— he came himself.He didn’t stand at a distance— he fell at the feet of Jesus… and began to plead.That’s prayer.Not polished. Not rehearsed. Not religious.Send us Fan Mail https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4dPastorTomCrandall@gmail.com

The Invitation
Apr 1900:24:19Tap to summarizeThis morning, I didn’t come to entertain you. I didn’t come to impress you. And I didn’t come to make you feel comfortable.I came to give you truth.Before we go any further, I’ve got a question for you:Do you trust me? Do you trust my heart?Because no matter how you answer that… No matter what kind of week you’ve had… No matter what you walked in here carrying…I need your undivided attention today.Because this is not just another message. This is a wake-up call.Send us Fan Mail https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4dPastorTomCrandall@gmail.com

The Burden you Carry
Apr 1200:29:57Tap to summarizeMany of us have burdens.Many of the burdens we carry are unspoken and unseen. But whatever burden you’re carrying today, I want you to know there is freedom in Jesus’ name.A young man spent most of his life seeking approval, seeking acceptance, trying to fill a void in his heart. It was in a small church where he encountered freedom.The evangelist preached from Galatians 6:2, which says,“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”Send us Fan Mail https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4dPastorTomCrandall@gmail.com

The cross was Personal
Apr 500:19:45Tap to summarize“Easter is the most celebrated day in Christianity…but also the most misunderstood.Because we love to talk about the empty tomb……but we don’t like to talk about what it took to get there.”“Before there was a resurrection…there was a cross.Before there was victory…there was suffering.And if we skip the cross…we cheapen the resurrection.”Send us Fan Mail https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4dPastorTomCrandall@gmail.com

Sin Called out
Mar 2900:29:38Tap to summarizeWhat is it like when our sin is out in front of us? When the weight of our wrong choices, our words, or our inaction presses on our hearts?There’s a burden, a heaviness, a tension we can’t escape on our own.Sin is not just a mistake—it’s direct disobedience to God’s Word and God’s will for our lives. And when we try to hide it, justify it, or ignore it, that burden grows heavier.Send us Fan Mail https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4dPastorTomCrandall@gmail.com
Transcribe →The Anchor
Mar 2200:25:53Tap to summarizeHebrews 6:19Years ago a man was out on the water in a small boat.The wind began to pick up…The sky started turning dark…And before long the waves began beating against the boats in the harbor.Boat after boat was drifting.Some were being pushed by the wind…Others were being tossed by the waves.But there was one boat that wasn’t moving.It wasn’t drifting.It wasn’t being carried away by the storm.Finally another man shouted across the water and asked the other man,“Why is it that your boat isn’t moving like all the others?”The man hollered back just a few simple words:“Because the anchor holds.”And can I tell you this morning…Life has a way of sending storms.The wind will blow…The waves will rise…And everything around you may start drifting…But the question is—what are you anchored to?1. The Storm is Inevitable“The wind began to pick up… the waves began to beat…”You don’t have to go looking for storms—they’ll find you.Trouble in your home…Trials in your faith…Pressure in your mind…John 16:33 – “In the world ye shall have tribulation…”👉 The problem isn’t the storm…👉 The problem is when you face it without an anchor.Preach it:Everybody’s in the same storm—but not everybody has the same stability.Send us Fan Mail https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4dPastorTomCrandall@gmail.com

The sickness
Mar 1500:31:05Tap to summarizeSeveral years ago a story circulated about a hospital where something strange began happening.Patients were dying in the emergency room waiting area.Not because the doctors didn’t have the medicine.Not because the hospital lacked the equipment.Not because the surgeons weren’t trained.They were dying because no one was bringing them inside.The hospital was full of doctors.The medicine cabinets were stocked.The operating rooms were ready.But people were sitting in the parking lot… hurting… suffering… dying… because no one was going out to bring them in.Finally someone asked the question that should have been obvious:“What good is a hospital full of doctors if no one goes out to get the dying?”And church, I couldn’t help but think…How close does that sound to the modern church today? ⛪Send us Fan Mail https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4dPastorTomCrandall@gmail.com
