Are angels still at work today—or have we misunderstood the unseen realm?

In this episode, Lisa Fields sits down with Dr. Dan Morrison to unpack what the Bible actually says about angels, demons, spiritual warfare, and the unseen realm in the New Testament. From Paul’s angelic encounters to modern conversations about deliverance, renouncing, and spiritual experiences, this discussion brings balance to a topic often filled with fear and hype.

They explore:

• Why Scripture shows angels most often appearing in moments of isolation.
• How culture has overemphasized the demonic.
• Why a "demon under every rock" mentality can sometimes be a way to avoid personal responsibility and human agency.
• If “renouncing” things is actually biblical.
• Why spiritual maturity isn’t measured by supernatural fascination—but by Christlike love, responsibility, and community.
• Common misconceptions about the end times, Revelation, and the tendency to center modern events (especially in America) in apocalyptic interpretations.

If you’re tired of sensationalized takes on the unseen realm and want a balanced, Scripture-rooted perspective, this conversation is for you!

In a world dominated by social media scrolls and "therapy talk," how do we find authentic spiritual formation? In this episode of the Jude 3 Project Podcast, host Lisa Fields sits down with author and speaker Elizabeth Woodson to discuss her latest book, Habits of Resistance.

Together, they dive deep into the "false narratives" that steal our peace - from the trap of radical individualism to the escapism of binge-watching. Elizabeth shares how we can reclaim ancient spiritual disciplines like fasting and lament to navigate life's "bitter and sweet" seasons.

In This Episode:

• Spiritual Formation vs. Social Media: How memes are shaping our character more than Scripture.
• The Loneliness Epidemic: Why "ghosting" and isolation are replacing deep, communal relationships.
• Navigating Disappointment: What to do when the life you have isn't the life you hoped for.

In this lecture from Jude 3 Project's 2022 Pastors & Leaders Conference, Alycia Wood walks through nine of the most common reasons people walk away from Christianity — from science, “blind faith” and moral issues to the problem of evil, church hurt, and the perception that religion is irrational or outdated.

This isn’t about attacking atheists. It’s about understanding the questions behind the deconstruction—and learning how to engage them with clarity, compassion, and intellectual honesty.

We explore: • Has science replaced God? • Is morality possible without a Creator? • Are atrocities proof religion is the problem? • Is faith blind—or evidence-based? • What does atheism actually offer in place of Christianity?

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt… If someone you love has left the faith… If you’ve been told Christianity is for “irrational thinkers”…

This conversation is for you.

Christianity doesn’t fear hard questions. It invites them.

We’ve been taught that exhaustion means we’re doing it right. That carrying everything alone is strength. That rest can wait.

But what if rest isn’t weakness — it’s trust?

In this episode, Lisa Fields and Yvette Henry unpack why burnout isn’t a badge of honor, how hustle culture quietly shapes our faith, and why rest is actually an act of obedience. Drawing from John 15 and Yvette's new book "Release, Rest, Remain", this conversation invites you to loosen your grip, let go of control, and trust God with what was never yours to carry.

Sometimes the most faithful thing you can do… is stop.

Can Christians engage politics without compromising their faith—or weaponizing it?

This panel dives headfirst into one of the most pressing questions of our time: how faith should (and shouldn’t) shape our political engagement. From Christian nationalism to Gen Z disillusionment to the legacy of the Black Church, this conversation challenges believers to think deeper, listen better, and engage more faithfully in the public square.

This isn’t about party loyalty — it’s about discipleship, discernment, and what it means to seek God’s kingdom here and now.

Power can heal—or destroy. Which one are we choosing?

In this 2024 Courageous Conversations panel, this unfiltered panel takes on one of the most misunderstood forces in our faith, churches, and communities: power.

Moderated by David Bailey and featuring Mike Kelsey, Bishop Charley Hames Jr, Rahiel Tesfamariam, and Latasha Morrison, this panel explores power through the lenses of faith, leadership, pain, and responsibility. From the misuse of power in systems and churches to the quiet strength found in surrender, empathy, and love, this conversation challenges the narratives we’ve inherited—and the ones we perpetuate.

You’ll hear reflections on:

• Power surrendered to God vs. power used for control

• How pain, suffering, and healing intersect

• The danger of adopting empire-driven views of success

• Leadership, stewardship, and succession in the Black church

• Why love must always be at the center of power
