  • The Gentile Pentecost: What Acts 10 Teaches About Who God Will Accept With Ronnie Brake
    Jul 8 2026

    In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, host Brandon Lavy is joined by Mike Wilson and special guest Ronnie Brake for a study of Acts 10, the account often called the Gentile Pentecost. Following the story of Cornelius, a devout Roman centurion, and Peter's vision of the great sheet let down from heaven, the discussion explores how God broke through human prejudice to open the door of the gospel to every nation. By examining passages such as Acts 10 and 11, Acts 2, Matthew 28, and the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch, the episode considers why a good and God-fearing man still needed to hear "words by which he could be saved," the difference between the miraculous outpouring of the Spirit and the indwelling every believer receives, and what it truly means that God shows no partiality. Listeners are encouraged that the call to hear, believe, repent, confess, and be baptized is genuinely for everyone.

  • Somebody Needed You Today: The Life-Changing Power of Encouraging One Another
    Jul 1 2026

    In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson shares a personal and deeply moving testimony about what genuine Christian fellowship meant at the lowest point of his life. Through the lens of James 2 and Matthew 25, the conversation explores how faith without works is dead and how caring for the needs of a struggling brother or sister is the same as caring for Christ himself. Drawing from Acts 2 and the devoted fellowship of the early church, the episode challenges listeners to look for those around them who are hurting, lonely, or in desperate need because when we serve the least of these, we serve Jesus, and the hands of God in this world are our hands.

  • Coming Home: What Rebuilding Your Life with God Actually Looks Like
    Jun 24 2026

    In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, guest speaker Brandon Lavy returns to complete his study of the Minor Prophets by exploring what genuine restoration looks like for someone who has wandered from God. Following the returning Israelite exiles and the prophetic messages of Haggai and Zechariah, the conversation examines how the people had to reprioritize God at the center of their lives before any real rebuilding could begin and how God met them in the middle of the rubble with grace. By drawing from Haggai 1, Zechariah 3 and 4, and New Testament teaching on repentance, confession, and the question of rebaptism, the episode offers a practical and deeply encouraging answer to the question many believers carry quietly: is it truly possible to come home to God after drifting away?

  • Drifting into Exile: Can a Believer Truly Fall Away from God?
    Jun 17 2026

    In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, guest speaker Brandon Lavy from Greenfield Church of Christ examines one of the most debated questions in Christianity: can a person who has genuinely been saved fall away from God? Drawing on the dramatic narrative of the Minor Prophets, the discussion traces how Israel and Judah drifted from their covenant relationship with God not through one dramatic rebellion but through small, incremental decisions made over years. By studying passages from Hosea, Amos, Hebrews 2, 3, and 6, and 2 Peter 2, the episode confronts the doctrine of "once saved, always saved" and explores what Scripture actually teaches about the real and serious possibility of apostasy and the faithful God who still pursues his people even in their drift.

Drawing on the timeless instruction of Proverbs 22:6 and the commands of Deuteronomy 6, the discussion calls mothers and fathers to examine whether they are truly teaching their children the knowledge of God, not just through words but through the daily example they set in the home. By looking at passages from Ephesians 6, Mark 10, and Hosea 4, the episode explores how consistent church attendance and intentional Bible instruction build a foundation of faith that can shape a child's eternal destiny and why no gift a parent can give will ever matter more.
