What if the real reason we don’t have revival… isn’t God—but us?

In this convicting episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Tim and Drew confront the uncomfortable truth many believers avoid: we say we want revival, but we resist the surrender it requires. Drawing from the bold teachings of Charles Finney and real-life ministry experience, this conversation exposes how passivity, fear, and hidden sin quietly block the move of God in our lives. From the tension between God’s sovereignty and our responsibility to the danger of “waiting on God” as an excuse for disobedien...


You Don’t Have a Time Problem… You Have a Disobedience Problem
04/23/2026

What if your spiritual life is struggling… not because you don’t love God—but because you lack discipline?In this episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim get brutally honest about something most Christians avoid: spiritual and physical discipline. From gym habits to prayer habits, they unpack how consistency—not motivation—is what actually transforms your life. If you’ve ever made excuses, struggled with routine, or felt stuck spiritually, this conversation will hit close to home. As they say, “there’s a thin line between excuse and disobedience.”This episode challenges the way we think about fitnes...

#136
04/15/2026

What if the biggest thing holding you back spiritually… isn’t sin—but religion?

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your faith or frustrated with church culture, this episode will hit deep.

#135
04/08/2026

#134
03/25/2026

What happens when the thing you built for God… isn’t actually centered on God? In this powerful episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Tim sits down with Pastor Dustin Pennington to unpack a raw and honest journey from ministry success to spiritual surrender. From the outside, everything looked right—growth, leadership, momentum—but internally, something was missing: the presence of Jesus.

Worship is Death… and That’s Why It Changes Everything
#133
03/18/2026

What if worship isn’t just singing—but surrender? What if real worship requires something in us to die? In this powerful episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Tim and Drew explore the deeper meaning behind the phrase “Worship is death.” Not physical death, but the death of pride, fear, control, and everything in us that competes with the presence of God. Too often worship becomes routine—songs we know, lyrics we repeat, moments we pass through. But true worship is a holy exchange where we lay down our burdens, our identity, and our self-reliance so that Christ can transf...

#125
12/31/2025

Drew and Tim take a hard and honest look at how success is defined in today’s church culture. In a world obsessed with numbers—attendance, giving, buildings, and platforms—this episode challenges listeners to ask whether we’ve borrowed the wrong scorecard. While metrics can be helpful tools, they were never meant to replace the deeper work of God in transformed lives.

Not all Christians will make it to heaven
#122

#120
11/12/2025

In this powerful episode 120 of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim tackle a question that’s dividing many church leaders today: Should churches delete their social media? Is it a modern-day mission field—a place to reach the lost where they already are—or a minefield filled with distraction, comparison, and temptation?

Tim argues that social media remains one of the greatest outreach tools of our time, a place where light can shine in dark spaces if used wisely. He believes the church must show up where the people are—online—and steward that influence for the Go...

Should the model in the Acts Church be idolized or ignored?
#108
07/30/2025

In a world of instant platforms and endless content, is your influence coming from calling or ego?
#105
07/09/2025

In episode 105 of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim tackle the growing tension between influence and authenticity in the digital age.

The Gospel Is Free, But Ministry Costs Something
#104
07/02/2025

In episode 104 of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Tim and Drew tackle a conversation that stirs up tension in modern church culture: Why do so many Christians resist paying for Christian resources, conferences, books, or even consistently giving to their local church—while freely paying for secular products, subscriptions, and entertainment?

Wowed by pastors... numb to God
#103
06/25/2025

In Episode 103 of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Tim and Drew have a much-needed conversation about a growing trend in modern Christianity: the temptation to be wowed by personalities rather than drawn into the presence of God.

This episode tackles the subtle shift that can happen when we start chasing inspiration over transformation, likes over intimacy, and quotes over Scripture. Tim and Drew reflect on how churches can unintentionally feed this...
