- Debunking Top “Progressive Christianity” Lies | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Mar 31, 2025 • 1h 19m
What happens when spiritual compromise becomes the norm and how can we confront it with truth and grace? Pastors Josh Howerton and Carlos Erazo welcome Pamela Baltazar for a powerful conversation rooted in Revelation 2 and the challenge to the church in Thyatira. They unpack the biblical warnings against the Jezebel spirit and explore how its subtle influences show up today in culture, the church, and even personal relationships. From feminism and gender roles to the redefining of marriage and truth, no topic is off limits as they contrast biblical conviction with cultural confusion. This episode is both bold and deeply pastoral—calling us toward holiness, repentance, and God's beautiful design for men and women. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more life-changing podcasts! 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an update! 👇 DON’T MISS OUT!

- Jesus Has Authority Over Demonic Influences | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Mar 24, 2025 • 1h 21m
What if your compromise isn’t as subtle as you think? Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Lewis have a powerful conversation inspired by the letter to the church in Pergamum, and things get real. From uncovering the historical and spiritual weight of Satan’s throne to the bizarre links between ancient temples, Roman emperors, and even Nazi Germany, this conversation exposes the enemy’s recycled tactics across history. They dive into how antichrists rise, how false teaching creeps in, and how spiritual authority is either claimed—or forfeited. It’s all about courage over compromise, spiritual clarity, and reclaiming the dominion God intended. Plus, they explore topics like IVF, spiritual warfare, and the nicknames only the Father can give. This one will stretch your mind, stir your faith, and help you see the unseen battles all around. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more life-changing podcasts! 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an update! 👇 DON’T MISS OUT!

- How God Redeems Pain & Suffering | Live Free With Josh Howerton
Mar 17, 2025 • 1h 11m
Have you ever wondered why suffering seems to shape us more than success? This week, we dive deep into the power of perseverance, faith, and finding purpose in the trials we face. As we explore the letter to the church in Smyrna, we’re reminded that hardship isn’t the end of the story—it’s often the beginning of something deeper. Together with Pastors Mike Breaux, Marc McCartney, and Carlos Erazo, we unpack how God uses suffering and persecution to refine our faith and draw us closer to Him. We also discuss how moral failures and their consequences can be a part of the journey, calling us to repentance and growth. Whether you’re in the middle of a storm or walking alongside someone who is, this conversation will encourage you to hold on to the hope we have in Christ. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more life-changing podcasts! 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an update! 👇 DON’T MISS OUT!

- Rediscovering Your First Love For God | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Mar 10, 2025 • 1h 16m
What happens when a church starts strong but loses sight of what truly matters? The early church in Ephesus had an incredible legacy—planted by the Apostle Paul, led by Timothy, and even home to the Apostle John and Mary. But despite their theological strength, Jesus had a serious warning for them: they had lost their first love. In this conversation, Pastor Josh and Jana Howerton, along with Pastor Carlos Erazo, dive into the powerful message behind the letter to the Ephesians in Revelation 2. They explore how distraction, culture, and even good theology can become barriers to genuine love for Christ. Plus, hear about Pastor Josh’s eye-opening journey through the ancient ruins of Ephesus, the surprising history behind the Jesus fish symbol, and what it all means for believers today.

- Are You Tipping or Tithing to God | Josh Howerton
Feb 16, 2025 • 46 min
Greed is one of the most deceptive sins—no one thinks they have it, but everyone knows someone who does. In this part 4 of the Kingslayers Series, Pastor Josh Howerton dive into Book of Joshua 7-8 to uncover how greed can block God’s blessings and how putting God first in every area of life—especially finances—unlocks His provision and favor. 🛑 Jesus warned: “Be on your guard against all kinds of greed.” (Luke 12:15) But why is greed so dangerous? Because it hides itself. Like Achan in Joshua 7, keeping what belongs to God can bring destruction, but trusting God with the first and the best leads to abundant blessing. 🎥 Catch the full Kingslayers Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk-gIybirb97bM1Ku7gGK_Epvr7MFfppr 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more life-changing messages! 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an update! ⛪ ABOUT LAKEPOINTE CHURCH: We believe that Lakepointe is a movement for all people to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover their Calling, and Make a Difference.

In this powerful series, Kingslayers, we explore the timeless truth that sin is a kingslayer through the lives of Old Testament kings. Romans 8:13 warns that living according to the flesh leads to death. Despite having every privilege and blessing from God, these kings fell to different forms of sin. In the same way, we all face a deadly enemy seeking to steal, kill, and destroy us. Join us as we study how the "6 deadly sins of the 21st century" are just as lethal today, and learn how to fight back with God’s power. ⛪ ABOUT LAKEPOINTE CHURCH: We believe that Lakepointe is a movement for all people to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover their Calling, and Make a Difference.
