  • The Rule of Parable
    Feb 18 2026
    What is the safest way to understand a parable? Let the one who gave it interpret it. In this episode, we explore the foundational principle that parables are not mysteries for endless speculation, but comparisons intentionally given to reveal truth. If Scripture is inspired by God, then its meaning is not determined by human creativity but by divine explanation. We examine how the disciples asked for interpretation, how Paul and John spoke what they “received,” and why symbols like “seed” cannot be forced into one universal meaning. The same Author who inspired the message also provides its interpretation. The result: Scripture interprets Scripture

  • The War Within, Why Self not Satan is the Greatest Enemy Part 1 Audiobook
    Feb 6 2026
    The War WithinWhy Self, Not Satan, Is the Greatest Enemy
    by Mark John
    Most believers are trained to fight the devil.
    Few are taught to confront the self.The War Within reframes spiritual warfare by shifting the battlefield inward away from external opposition and toward the unseen forces of desire, craving, and self-rule that quietly shape our faith. Rather than portraying Satan as the primary obstacle, this audiobook reveals how the greatest resistance to God often comes from within: the fleshly life that seeks comfort, control, and justification.Drawing from Scripture and lived spiritual insight, Mark John explores how submission to God, not constant resistance dismantles the enemy’s influence. When the self governs the inner life, faith becomes reactive and obedience negotiable. But when desire is denied' and the will is surrendered, spiritual authority emerges naturally.This audiobook exposes the subtle lies spoken by craving, the inner commentary that distorts God’s character, and the daily choices where the real war is won or lost, not in dramatic confrontations, but in quiet acts of surrender.In this audiobook, you’ll discover:
    • Why “submit to God” comes before “resist the devil”
    • How desire animates the old self and fuels inner chaos
    • The difference between suppressing behavior and surrendering the will
    • What spiritual warfare looks like beyond external blame
    • How denying the self silences accusation and restores clarity
    The War Within is for those who are weary of surface-level answers and ready for deeper transformation. This is not a call to fight harder, but to surrender more fully.The real battle is not against Satan.
    It is against the self that refuses to die.
