For the Gospel Podcast

In this episode Costi Hinn interviews Anthony & Bre Wood as they announce a brand new podcast coming to the For the Gospel network! "Date Night With the Woods" will feature episodes that focus on marriage, family, and winning where it matters most — at home. In today's culture, Christians need to be equipped to lead their marriage and family faithfully. This program will empower you to do that. 

In this episode Costi Hinn tackles your questions with biblical answers. He covers questions like, "Why was Rahab's lie justified?" and "If God is not partial, why does He show partiality in choosing Israel in the Old Testament?" Other questions cover sharing the gospel, the doctrine of election, and how to discern the spiritual state of someone who says they are a Christian but has no interest in attending church. 

Is manhood just about looking manly and talking tough? Does a man with soft hands need to forfeit his man-card? Does your man bun diminish your manhood and does longer-hair signify your weakness and femininity? In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks 6 marks of manhood from 1 Corinthians 16. Pointing to the apostle Paul, and Christ, he makes the case for slowing down, assessing the heart, and judging manhood based on what flows from the inside, not merely what a man looks like on the outside. 

The great puritan John Owen once said, “A minister may fill his pews, his communion roll, and the mouths of the public, but what that minister is on his knees in secret before God Almighty, that he is and no more.”  What John Owen had right almost 400 years ago still rings true today, and not just for ministers but for all of us. In this episode, Costi Hinn breaks down three key areas that all of us should take inventory of. We must ask: Who are we when no one's looking?  

Character matters more than cash. In the church, James 2 warns about showing partiality to the rich and Jesus reserves some His strongest warnings for those who think wealth can earn His favor. God uses people from all walks of life to serve and lead His church, but money and manipulation can blind us from remembering the importance of this. In this episode Costi Hinn unpacks three “P’s” that money should never get you. Church leaders and church members do well to assess their hearts in light of this episode. 

Leaving a church can stem from various reasons, from relocation to spiritual conflict. The conversation highlights the importance of identifying biblical reasons versus personal preferences. Meeting with church leaders and setting a clear timeline for leaving are crucial steps in the transition process. When faced with false teachings, a different approach is needed, emphasizing the need for warnings rather than simple exits. Ultimately, the emphasis is on leaving gracefully and truthfully, ensuring no bitterness lingers.

In this episode Costi Hinn interviews Grant Castleberry, FTG contributor and Senior Pastor of Capital Community Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. The two discuss practical strategies for discipleship in the local church and clear up the false idea that one can be a Christian, but not be a disciple. This episode is practical and will help Christians live all of life for the glory of God. 

In this episode Costi Hinn breaks down 3 biblical reasons why there are no more apostles today, and provides you with clear arguments you can understand and learn from. He also analyzes the claims of movements like Bethel Church and leaders like Bill Johnson, who claim that there are still apostles today. This episode features accurate and in-context audio clips of Bill Johnson explaining how he became an apostle and what he believes about apostles and prophets. 

This episode is a must-listen for every Christian. The John 17 Movement began in Arizona has quickly gained massive influence by calling Catholics and Protestant Christians to lay aside doctrine and unify as "one church." This movement is not fringe, and has found its way into once-faithful evangelical churches across the Valley and around the world by introducing key leaders to the Pope and claiming to be fulfilling Jesus' prayer for unity in John 17. Costi Hinn interviews Mike Gendron, expert on Roman Catholicism and former Catholic of 35 years, as the two discuss how the John 17 Movement is dangerously promoting false unity between Roman Catholics and the evangelical church. The Devil loves unity that ignores truth, and Christians must be discerning of their churches and leaders who promote this sort of deception. 

In this episode Costi Hinn and Mike Gendron discuss key questions that newly converted Catholics may ask when they first become Protestant Christians. Questions like, "How do I pray now that I don't use 'Hail Mary' prayers?" "Where do I start reading the Bible?" "How should I navigate conversations with my Catholic relatives?" and "Why do Christians meet for Bible studies?" are all addressed in this episode along with added insights about the deception of the Catholic Church. Mike is an expert on Roman Catholicism after living as a devout Catholic for 35 years. He has spent the last 31 years proclaiming the true gospel and helping people go from religion to a true relationship with God.
