Have you ever prayed with all your heart—and felt nothing but silence? What if prayer was never meant to change God’s mind, but to bring peace to ours? In this video, we explore a freeing perspective on prayer that shifts it from asking for outcomes to resting in alignment, trust, and unshakable peace.

Prayer Dispensationally Considered – The Explaier Series

I didn’t stop watching the news because I don’t care.
I stopped because being informed was costing me my peace.

This short doodle video is about choosing presence over constant urgency, people over opinions, and peace over fear.

Sometimes, the most responsible thing we can do

God's Love Redefined

$Christ’s victory reaches far beyond personal salvation. This chapter explores the cross as a cosmic turning point—where Christ is crowned Head over Heaven and Earth, every rival power is defeated, and the fractured universe begins its full restoration under His sovereign reign.

The Cosmic Reorder – The Bloody Truth – Chapter 19

Fear, Grace, and Freedom

How do we really understand the words of Scripture? This short teaching walks through the tools that help—dictionaries, translations, roots, context, and contrast—while reminding us that true understanding ultimately comes from divine realization. Words matter, but revelation changes everything.

How to Determine Word Meaning – Clyde Pilkington

Grace was Always the Plan

Steve Martin – the Grace Dude – wears a Hawaiian shirt every day, not because he lives on the beach (he doesn’t), but because it reminds him of what life is really about: love, joy, grace, and freedom.

This isn’t a book about rules, guilt or trying harder. It’s a book about discovering that grace is louder than shame, brighter than fear, and way more fun than religion ever told you it could be.

Inside, you’ll find bold reminders that:

Grace isn’t “undeserved favor” – it’s joy, delight and freedom.
God doesn’t tolerate you – He celebrates you.
Love doesn’t come with fine print.
You can live in full color, even in hard times.
With a mix of story, humor and unapologetic truth, Steve invites you to trade in the stiff suit of religion for the bright, relaxed, joy-filled shirt of grace. No guilt trips. No fear tactics. Just freedom, love, and maybe a few parrots and hibiscus flowers along the way.

If you’ve ever felt weighed down by religion, pressured to perform, or afraid you don’t measure up – this book is your invitation to breathe again.

Grace isn’t something you earn. It’s something you wear. Boldly. Every day.

Hawaiian Shirt Theology by The Grace Dude

Grace Through Failure

Whenever God begins rebuilding something beautiful—identity, joy, freedom—opposition is never far behind. Nehemiah faced it. You will too.

Sanballat’s resistance wasn’t proof the work was wrong. It was proof the work mattered. Fear always resists grace. Control always resists freedom. But what God authors, opposition cannot stop.

This video explores why criticism often means you’re right on track—and why the call is not to argue, but to keep building with peace, confidence, and joy.

“I am doing a great work and cannot come down.” (Nehemiah 6:3)

Bold Faith in Rest

Sermon Detox is a short-form series for anyone tired of faith that feels heavy, fragile, or fear-driven.

If sermons leave you anxious instead of at peace…
If “good news” sounds more like pressure than freedom…
If God has started to feel reactive instead of steady…
—you’re not alone.

This series gently challenges ideas we’ve absorbed without questioning:
• Fragile salvation
• Fear-based faith
• Performance disguised as holiness
• Religion that manages behavior instead of announcing freedom

Sermon Detox isn’t about attacking churches.
It’s about clearing the noise so grace can breathe again.

Take what gives life.
Let go of what doesn’t.

Welcome to Sermon Detox.
