Thou Shalt Suffer
Suffering comes in a lot of different forms -- including choosing to do the right thing in the face of temptation. But even Jesus was tempted like we are today, and when we choose to follow Him, we're also choosing to suffer as He suffered. In those moments when we find ourselves facing a moment or a season of weakness, it's important to remember that the eternal reward of righteousness will always outweigh and outlast the fleeting pleasure of sin.

Second Hand Smoke
When Jesus tells His disciples that they're not of this world, He never told them not to be in this world. We're on this earth for a reason, and we can't run away from the sin and struggles that exist because of the broken nature of humanity. It's important, though, that we allow ourselves to be filled with God and His Holy Spirit before we walk out the door every day. When we do that, we're less affected by the world, and better able to affect the world with the eternal hope of the Gospel.

Woodpecker Lips
The Bible is filled with promises from God -- promises that He'll strength us, uphold us, and be with us through all the trials and tribulations this world brings. His grace is sufficient for us in our weaknesses; when we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, He renews the Spirit within us to face any challenge the enemy tries to bring.

Lion Tamer
The story of Daniel in the lions' den is an extraordinary example of what it looks like to obey God even if it means risking one's own life. Our situation might not always look as drastic as Daniel's -- but God might not always rescue us like He did with Daniel, either. At the end of the day, our focus needs to be Kingdom first and not on this world, because our obedience to Him will be rewarded in eternity.

New You
Scripture tells us that when we give our lives to God, He doesn't just refinish what's here -- He makes us completely new. It takes time for new Christians to grow and mature; that's why we all have a responsibility to be discipled and to disciple others.

Riff Raff
We tend to gravitate towards people who are a lot like us. After all, that's familiar and comfortable...right? But the closer we get to Jesus, the more "riff raff" people we'll find -- people who God will challenge us to love and accept even though they might think and act differently than us.

Powerful podcast
Over the last year, I’ve been listening to your podcast several days a week, and your authentic love for Jesus and His church is evident, as well as your powerful messages of hope, love, mercy, and grace. By God’s divine appointment, I also realized that you are very good friends with the Tolson’s. Small world and God is amazing!
Thank you from North Carolina!
Straight Biblical Talk
I heard You, Mr. Ellis a few years ago on the Radio ( you had been at a restaurant & spoke to the young lady server a day or two prior ); I don’t even remember what the actual sermon was about but what I remember is the Passion in your voice & the actions in your walk. Just rediscovered you via Podcasts, I look forward to the daily edification while I work. I am excited to be challenged.
Outstanding!!
Started listening to him when I was Dallas area for work years ago (around 2016/2017) and enjoyed it every morning. This is sound doctrine Richard rightly divides the Word of God and it is refreshing. His transparency about his life and his marriage and girls is awesome. You will enjoy it.
