My Ministry Mission

In this episode, I explore one of the most important questions in all of Scripture: why did forgiveness require blood? Before the cross, God established a sacrificial system that taught His people something profound about the weight of sin and the cost of atonement. Drawing from Leviticus 17:11, Hebrews 9 and 10, and Romans 6:23, I walk through what God was communicating through animal sacrifice, why it was an act of mercy rather than cruelty, and how every offering pointed forward to the one perfect sacrifice that was coming.

If the cross has ever felt like a tragic ending rather than...

In this episode, I sit down with Lindsey Tanoff, a brand manager from the Dallas-Fort Worth area who turned a season of grief and uncertainty into something beautiful. When her mother was diagnosed with cancer, Lindsey found herself turning to Scripture for answers, and that search eventually led her to write Connected, a 28-day devotional designed to help everyday believers build a meaningful habit of spending time in God's word.

In this episode, I sit down with Felicia Hurd Johnson, author of Count All Joy: Including the Broken Pieces, for a conversation rooted in James 1:2–4. Felicia has walked through breast cancer, divorce, job loss, and seasons of deep uncertainty, and she shares how God met her in every single one of those broken places. Together we talk about the difference between joy and happiness, what it really means to trust God when the sky is falling, and why our trials are never wasted in God's economy.

Felicia's story is honest, personal, and full of hope, and I be...

In this powerful episode, I get to welcomes back John P.

In this episode, I sit down with Canadian author, lay pastor, and bible study leader Doralyn Moore for a conversation that truly filled my heart. Doralyn has walked with Jesus for over seventy years, and the wisdom she carries is the kind that only comes from a lifetime of trusting God through both joy and grief. We talk about what it looks like to hold onto God's promises when circumstances seem to scream otherwise, how personal testimony is one of the most powerful tools we have for sharing our faith, and why forgiveness, rooted in Matthew 18:22, is as much...

It is actually where faith grows the deepest.

You will walk away with a fresh perspective on what God may be doing beneath the surface of your circumstances, practical pillars for...

The Book of Acts ends in a surprising way, without a clear ending. But that unfinished conclusion reveals something powerful: the mission of Jesus didn’t stop with the apostles. In this episode of My Ministry Mission, Jason explores how the story that began in Acts continues today through the work of the Holy Spirit and the lives of everyday believers. Anchored in Acts 1:8 (NIV) and Matthew 28:18–20 (NIV), we look at the mission Jesus gave His Church and how the Gospel has continued to move across the world for nearly two thousand years.

What does that mission look...

Along the way, we encounter Lydia, the Philippian jailer, skeptical philosophers in Athens, and faithful believers who shape the future of the church in ways that rarely make...
