The Hidden Power of Proverbs | RIOT Podcast
3w ago01:00:56Tap to summarizeThe Hidden Power of Proverbs is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. What if the Book of Proverbs is more than just wise sayings? Why Do So Many People Know Truth… but Still Live Without Wisdom? In this week’s episode of the RIOT Podcast, we dive deep into the hidden power of Proverbs and uncover how God’s wisdom is meant to transform every area of our lives, our words, decisions, relationships, work ethic, integrity, money, and heart. Proverbs is not simply about gaining knowledge. It is about learning the skill of living with God at the center. In this episode, we discuss: • Why wisdom is about transformation, not just information • The two paths every person chooses daily: wisdom or folly • What the “fear of the Lord” really means • The power of words to bring life or destruction • How wisdom shapes work, money, and integrity • Why guarding your heart determines the direction of your life • Why Proverbs is ultimately about relationship with God, not rules • The deeper meaning behind the virtuous woman in Proverbs 31 This conversation reveals that life is not random. Every small decision is shaping your future. Proverbs teaches us that wisdom is not something we master, it is someone we walk with. Key Scriptures: Proverbs 1:7 Proverbs 3:5–6 Proverbs 4:23 Proverbs 9:10 Proverbs 10:4 Proverbs 18:21 Proverbs 31 Matthew 7:13–14 Romans 12:2 Ephesians 4:29 Thanks for listening and don’t forget to: Follow us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Instagram Subscribe to our Youtube Channel Follow us on Rumble The RIOT PODCAST is a listener-supported podcast: Donate Now
Transcribe →Overview of Psalms | RIOT Podcast
4w ago00:56:14Tap to summarizeOverview of Psalms is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. What if God is not asking for perfect prayers, but an honest heart? The Book of Psalms is more than ancient poetry or worship songs, it is the language of a real relationship with God. In this powerful episode, we explore how Psalms gives voice to every part of the human experience: joy, fear, doubt, repentance, worship, grief, and trust. Whether you feel close to God or distant from Him, Psalms reminds us that God is not looking for polished religion, He is inviting honest relationships. In this episode, we discuss: • Why Psalms is about relationship, not religious performance • The multiple authors behind Psalms and the one unified message they reveal • The intentional 5-book structure of Psalms and the spiritual journey it reflects • How Psalms teaches us to process pain, anxiety, and suffering with honesty before God • The prophetic Psalms that point directly to Jesus and the cross • Why Psalm 23, Psalm 91, and Psalm 139 continue to speak deeply to people today • How the entire Book of Psalms ultimately leads us into praise and surrender Key Truth: You do not need perfect words to come to God. Psalms teaches us that God meets us in honesty, weakness, questions, and surrender. “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” — Psalm 150:6 Thanks for listening and don’t forget to: Follow us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Instagram Subscribe to our Youtube Channel Follow us on Rumble The RIOT PODCAST is a listener-supported podcast: Donate Now
Transcribe →The Problem with Chaotic Worship – 1 Cor. 13 | RIOT Podcast
Apr 3001:07:22Tap to summarizeThe Problem with Chaotic Worship – 1 Cor 13 is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. Are we pursuing the presence of God… or the appearance of being spiritual? What if what we call “powerful worship” is actually creating confusion instead of clarity? In this week’s episode, we continue from the “love chapter” in 1 Corinthians 13 and step into 1 Corinthians 14, where the Apostle Paul addresses a critical issue in the church: misusing spiritual gifts in a way that draws attention to self instead of building others up. Paul makes one thing clear, love must lead, and everything we do in the church must edify others. In this conversation, we unpack: Why spiritual gifts without love create noise, not impact The true purpose of tongues, prophecy, and spiritual expression Why clarity matters more than sounding “spiritual” How disorder in worship can actually push people away from God The balance between freedom in the Spirit and responsibility in the church Why God’s presence is marked by peace, not confusion This episode will challenge how you view worship, spiritual gifts, and even your role when the church gathers. Key Truth: God is not a God of chaos. He is a God of peace, clarity, and transformation. If someone walked into your church today… Would they clearly encounter God or walk away confused? Whether you’re a pastor, leader, or believer hungry for deeper understanding, this episode will help you align your worship with God’s heart.

Transcribe →1 Corinthians 13: How to Love Without Strings | RIOT Podcast
Apr 2301:03:03Tap to summarize1 Corinthians 13: How to Love Without Strings is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. How can you serve, give, and sacrifice… yet still lack true love? In this week’s episode, we dive deep into 1 Corinthians 13, one of the most quoted yet often misunderstood chapters in the Bible. After teaching about spiritual gifts in chapter 12, the Apostle Paul reveals a “more excellent way”, a life marked not by power, knowledge, or sacrifice… but by love. This conversation will challenge how you define spiritual maturity. Is it your gifts? Your knowledge? Your service? Or is it something deeper? In this episode, we explore: • Why spiritual gifts without love are empty noise • How someone can be spiritually active but still spiritually immature • Why God cares more about your motive than your sacrifice • What biblical love (agapē) actually looks like in real life • How pride, envy, and self-centeredness destroy relationships • Why forgiveness is a mark of true maturity • The difference between love and tolerance • Why love is eternal but gifts are temporary • How love reveals whether you’re growing or still spiritually immature • Why love is greater than faith and hope Key Truth: Gifts impress people. Knowledge informs people. Sacrifice inspires people. But love transforms people. This episode will help you: Examine your heart, not just your actions Grow in Christlike character Love people without conditions or hidden motives Understand what it really means to follow Jesus Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 13:1–13 If your faith feels active… but empty, this message is for you.

Transcribe →1 Corinthians 12 – One Spirit, One Body, Many Gifts | You Have a Gift… But Are You Using It Wrong? | RIOT Podcast
Apr 1601:03:22Tap to summarize1 Corinthians 12 – One Spirit, One Body, Many Gifts is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. Why isn’t having a powerful gift the same as being spiritually mature? What if the very thing meant to unite the church is the same thing we often use to compare, compete, or feel inferior? In this teaching on 1 Corinthians 12, we uncover how the Holy Spirit works within believers, not to elevate individuals, but to build a unified, living body in Christ. After addressing disorder in worship in chapter 11, the Apostle Paul now turns to something deeper: spiritual gifts. The Corinthian church was fascinated with dramatic spiritual experiences, but they misunderstood their purpose. Paul corrects this by revealing a powerful truth: Spiritual gifts are not about status, they are about service. In this study, we explore: Why true spirituality is measured by submission to Jesus, not emotional experiences How the Trinity models unity in diversity within the church Why every spiritual gift is given for the common good How comparison and pride quietly destroy unity What it really means to be one body in Christ, regardless of background Why love—not gifting—is the true measure of spiritual maturity You’ll discover that the Holy Spirit doesn’t create identical believers, He creates a unified body with different roles, working together for one mission. Key Truth: Spiritual maturity is not found in having impressive gifts, but in faithfully using what God has given for the good of others and the glory of Christ. If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, felt like your role doesn’t matter, or wondered how you fit into the body of Christ, this message is for you.

Apr 901:01:04Tap to summarize1 Corinthians 11 Worship from the Heart is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲? 𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿? In this powerful episode, we dive into 𝟭 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝟭𝟭 and uncover how God calls His people to worship, not just individually, but as a unified body. Building on the warning from 1 Corinthians 10 about spiritual complacency, this teaching shifts our focus to corporate worship, where the condition of our hearts matters just as much as our actions. 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀: God’s design for authority and order The true meaning of the Lord’s Supper This episode challenges us to move beyond routine and preference, and instead align our worship with Christ where humility, unity, and reverence take center stage. 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲, 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿: Why imitating Christ is the foundation of authentic worship The difference between biblical authority and worldly power How outward expressions in worship reflect inward devotion God’s design for unity between men and women in the church Why the Lord’s Supper is more than a ritual, it’s a proclamation of the Gospel The importance of self-examination before communion How worship can either divide or deeply unite the church 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆: Worship is not about preference. Authority is not about control. Communion is not routine. True worship happens when hearts are aligned with Christ, relationships reflect God’s design, and the church gathers in remembrance of the cross. Because when worship centers on Jesus, order produces unity, unity produces testimony, and testimony glorifies God.

Transcribe →You Don’t Need More Discipline You Need Deeper Surrender | RIOT Podcast
Mar 2000:57:51Tap to summarizeYou Don’t Need More Discipline You Need Deeper Surrender is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. Are you building for God… or walking with Him? Gifted leaders are everywhere… but faithful leaders are rare. In this week’s episode, we dive deep into a sobering and necessary question: Why do so many leaders both in the world and in ministry burn out or fall? From the very beginning, Scripture reveals two paths: the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge. One is rooted in intimacy, surrender, and daily dependence on God. The other is built on control, performance, and self-reliance. Many leaders today are building platforms, growing influence, and achieving visible success but are quietly drifting from the very relationship that sustains them. You can preach powerfully. You can lead effectively. You can build something impactful. …and still be in danger of disqualification. In this episode, we unpack: Why giftedness can open doors faster than character can sustain them The truth about success—why growth doesn’t always mean health How misplaced identity (“needed” vs. “beloved”) leads to burnout The role of discipline—not as legalism, but as protection Why unaddressed triggers eventually become public failures The danger of platform growth without strong boundaries How isolation quietly leads to disqualification Why ministry busyness can hide spiritual emptiness The real key to finishing well: daily surrender, not stronger willpower Key Truth: Success can happen without surrender but endurance cannot. The world teaches leaders to manage outcomes. Religion can teach leaders to perform. But Jesus calls us to walk with Him daily.

Transcribe →The Bible never denied other ‘Gods’, it dethroned them | Riot Podcast
Mar 1200:57:51Tap to summarizeThe Bible never denied other ‘Gods’, it dethroned them is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. Does the Bible Actually Teach There Are “Many Gods”? In this episode, we tackle a question that surprises many Christians: Why does the Bible talk about “many gods”? When people encounter passages like Psalm 82 or Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians, it can raise confusion. Does the Bible teach polytheism? Are these “Gods” just idols, metaphors, or something more? Scripture actually presents a much deeper and more supernatural worldview than most believers realize. Throughout the Bible, we see references to real spiritual beings intelligent, powerful, and active in the unseen realm. Some remain loyal to God, while others have rebelled and now oppose His purposes. Yet the Bible is absolutely clear: there is only one true God—eternal, uncreated, and sovereign—and He has revealed Himself fully in Jesus Christ. In this conversation, we walk carefully through the Bible’s own language to understand what it means when Scripture refers to “Gods,” the divine council, and the unseen spiritual powers influencing the world today. In this episode, we discuss: • What Psalm 82 reveals about God’s divine council • The meaning of the Hebrew word elohim and why it matters • Why Jesus quoted “you are gods” in John 10 • What the Apostle Paul meant by “many gods and many lords” • How Jesus is placed uniquely inside the identity of the one true God • The rebellion of corrupt spiritual powers in Scripture • Why the Bible connects idol worship to real demonic forces • How unseen spiritual powers influence cultures, governments, and systems • Why the biblical worldview is supernatural—but still firmly monotheistic This episode will help you see the Bible’s spiritual worldview more clearly and understand why Jesus Christ stands above every power, authority, and spiritual being. No speculation. No mythology. Just the Bible explaining the Bible.
