Preaching the good news of Jesus Christ and how it applies to everyday life. Hosted by Alex and Lokelani Wilson, the podcast explores biblical teachings and their relevance to modern living.
Episodes
Holy Dissatisfaction
Paul had something better than Mamba mentality. In Philippians 3:12 he says he has not obtained it and he is not already perfect, but he presses on to make it his own, because Christ Jesus made him His own.Warren Wiersbe called this holy dissatisfaction. We are content in Christ, but never content with where we are in our walk with Him.Alex breaks down why we need it, why comparison quietly kills

Comparing
SPOTIFY DESCRIPTIONComparison is not just a bad habit. It is a confidence problem. In Philippians 3:4-7, Paul lists seven things that made him look impressive and then moves every one of them into the loss column. We talk about why we compare, what it costs us, and the only comparison that gives you real confidence.Free study guide for this episode: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ItSPfIlbyjDn8zY
GODFIDENCE
Alex separated his AC joint racing the guys after church, and suddenly everything he took for granted with two working arms was gone. That’s the whole point of Philippians 3:1-3. Paul is writing to a church being pressured by Judaizers, people telling Gentile believers they had to become Jewish before they could become Christian. Paul calls it what it is: dogs, evildoers, mutilators of the flesh.I
De-influenced
Most of our stress comes from people online telling us what to be, what to wear, what to buy, and where to go. Jesus frees us from all of that.In this episode of the Stress Less series through Philippians, Alex and Lokelani look at Epaphroditus, a man named after a pagan god who became one of Paul’s most trusted brothers in the ministry. Paul gives him five titles: brother, fellow worker, fellow s
Timothy
In Philippians 2:19-24, Paul couldn’t find anyone like Timothy to send to the Philippians. Why? Because Timothy stopped seeking his own interests and started seeking Christ’s kingdom instead.In this message, we break down what made Timothy different and how you can become the kind of person God can use in your relationships, church, and calling.We also unpack:- Why you don’t jump into leadership t
Unmaxxing
Being a child of God is a privilege — and a responsibility. In Philippians 2:14-15, Paul says we're called to live without complaining, without arguing, without that dark inner dialogue — so we shine like stars in a crooked generation. In this episode, we talk about what it means to hold out the gospel unashamed, give everything like Jesus did, and stop holding back.Donate: amenpodcast.com/donate
Unearned
You can't earn your salvation. So why does so much of Christian culture make you feel like you have to?In this episode of the Stress Less series, we look at Philippians 2:12-13, one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible. "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling" has been used to load young Christians with anxiety and the constant question, "Is God disappointed in me today?" But Pau
unseen
We are stressed because we are stuck thinking about ourselves. In Philippians 2:5-11, Jesus did not grasp His glory. He emptied Himself, served, and humbled Himself to the cross. Because we were never forgotten by God, we are free to forget ourselves. This is the freedom of self-forgetfulness, not something we achieve, but something we already have in Christ.study guide: https://docs.google.com/do

Striving Together
Faith was never meant to be a solo sport. In this week's Stress Less episode, Pastor Alex unpacks Philippians 1:27-30 and the call to strive together. Paul tells the Philippians to push the gospel down the field as a team—standing firm, unafraid of opponents, and leaning on each other in seasons of hardship.Free Study Guide: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-fxcrpldwv7P0bBJoQkZBKUx4y9HNdWW/view?us
To Live is Christ
Paul wrote “to live is Christ, to die is gain” from a prison cell, not knowing if he’d live or die. And he was still steady, joyful, and free. In this episode we walk through Philippians 1:19-26 and unpack what it actually looks like to live that way, where Jesus is so much of your life that nothing, not even death, can shake you. We get into the fill-in-the-blank that exposes what you’re really l
How to Handle Frustrations
Paul was in prison. People were preaching against him just to make his life harder. And he was still full of joy. How?In this episode of the Amen Podcast, Alex and Lokelani jump back into our Philippians “Stress Less” series with chapter 1:12-18, an episode we’re calling FRUSTRATIONS.

holy aesthetic
Everyone talks about aesthetic. Your feed, your room, your coffee shop, your fit. But there’s a Greek word in the Bible that only shows up one time in the entire New Testament, and it might change the way you see your whole life.In this episode of Amen Podcast, Pastor Alex and Lokelani Wilson walk through Philippians 1 verses 9 through 11 and unpack what Paul actually prayed for the church.

God’s Work
How God’s Work In You Will Never Stop (Philippians 1:3-8)Paul is on house arrest in Rome. Ten years removed from the Philippians. Awaiting a trial that could end his life.

The Authority of Christ
We spent years in Matthew. And it ends here — not with a theology lecture, but with eleven doubting disciples on a mountain, a risen Jesus who doesn’t rebuke them, and a commission that changed the world.STUDY GUIDE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nkkLG3gMG6BC7PHbM8Lm9NHdX0VMDQr6/view?usp=share_linkMatthew 28:16–20 is the final exhale of the greatest story ever told.

IMMOVABLE
The religious leaders just heard the news — Jesus is risen. So they bribe the guards, spread a lie, and use every political connection they have to bury it.None of it works.In this episode we’re in Matthew 28:11–15 looking at three ways people try to move God — bribery, dishonesty, and policy — and why every single one fails. Because you cannot stop what God has already done.If God is immovable, t
What the empty tomb means 2000 years later
The tomb is empty. That changes everything.On the first Easter morning, two women showed up looking for a funeral — and got invited to a party. In this message from Matthew 28:1-10, we unpack three things the empty tomb means for your life today: you’re invited (not out of obligation, but love), God doesn’t just intervene — He gets involved, and His love for you is invincible.If the tomb lacks a b

Narrow Road
Most people think they’re going to heaven. But Jesus says the road to life is narrow — and few find it. Not many. Few.In this episode of the Amen Podcast, Alex and Lokelani sit in Matthew 7:13-14, right at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, and unpack one of the most sobering passages in all of Scripture. The wide road is crowded, comfortable, and covered in destruction. The narrow road is hard,

Which Jesus Are You Following?
There were two men named Jesus at the trial. One was a murderer and rebel. The other was the Messiah. The crowd chose the criminal over the Savior.But here’s the real question: Which Jesus would YOU choose today?In this message, we break down the shocking differences between Jesus Barabbas and Jesus Christ—and why we’re still tempted to follow the wrong one. From making a name for ourselves to sha
SILENCE AND SOVEREINGTY
Why did Jesus stay completely silent when falsely accused? And what does that mean for you when people come after you?In Matthew 27:12-14, Jesus stands before Pilate while the religious leaders hurl accusations at Him—and He doesn’t say a single word. Pilate is shocked. But Jesus’s silence wasn’t weakness—it was sovereign obedience.In this episode, we break down: ✓ Why Jesus chose silence over sel
Your Life Is Either a LIE or the TRUTH About Jesus
What does your life say about Jesus?The religious leaders had to LIE about who Jesus was to manipulate Pilate into killing Him. They twisted the truth to get what they wanted. But here’s the thing – our lives are constantly telling a story about Christ too.Whether through our words, actions, priorities, or choices, we’re either bearing witness to the truth of who He is, or we’re distorting His cha

It's the Little Things
That feeling when something small seems like no big deal? Like skipping your quiet time just this once, or that harmless compromise you keep making?In this episode, I’m preaching through Matthew 27:1-10, examining how Judas’s betrayal of Jesus didn’t start with thirty pieces of silver—it started way smaller than that.

DENYING
Here’s a simple podcast description:Why We Deny Jesus (And How to Stop) | Matthew 26:69-75Peter denied Jesus three times in one night. A teenager cursed Jesus for $1,000.

BE STILL
In this message, we explore one of the most powerful moments in Scripture: Jesus standing before His accusers in complete silence. While false witnesses lied about Him, while they spit on Him and beat Him, Jesus said nothing. His silence wasn’t weakness—it was strength, trust, and love.We live in a world that tells us to defend ourselves, to speak up, to fight back. But what if God is calling you

Judas' Betrayal
*CORRECTION: HALLEL 113-118, NOT 116-118.*Ever thought you’d never betray Jesus? Peter thought the same thing. In this episode, we dive into one of the heaviest passages in Scripture—Judas’s betrayal, Peter’s denial, and the Last Supper. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: we’re all Judas. We all betray Jesus for way less than 30 pieces of silver.From understanding the true meaning of the Lord’s S
Mary
What does it look like to worship Jesus when everyone around you thinks you’re wasting your time?In Matthew 26:1-13, we see two opposite responses to Jesus.

Expectancy
