    Sep 21 2025

    Are you overwhelmed by all the different Bible versions? With the King James Version (KJV), New International Version (NIV), English Standard Version (ESV), New Living Translation (NLT), and even paraphrases like The Message—it can be confusing to know which one is right for you.

    We’ll explore:

    • The history of Bible manuscripts and translations
    • The three main translation styles: word-for-word, thought-for-thought, and paraphrase
    • Strengths and weaknesses of popular versions like KJV, NIV, ESV, NLT, CSB, and The Message
    • How to select a Bible that fits your purpose: study, devotion, history, or academic use
    • Why there’s no “perfect” Bible version—but there is one that’s right for you

    👉 Challenge: Read your favorite passage (like John 3:16 or Psalm 23) in three different translations this week. Notice what stands out to you!

  • We Need God in America Again | A Wake-Up Call to Christians
    Sep 17 2025

    America is at a crossroads. In this powerful episode of Behind the Mike Podcast with Mike Stone, Mike delivers a bold message: we don’t just need revival—we need repentance.

    From Charlie Kirk’s tragic death to the cultural chaos we see daily, the signs are clear: Satan is working overtime to fracture families, weaken the church, and destroy a nation. But as believers, we cannot stay silent, lukewarm, or neutral.

    🔥 In this episode, Mike breaks down:
    • Why lukewarm Christianity is dangerous (Revelation 3:16, James 2:19)
    • How Satan’s fingerprints are all over our culture (John 10:10)
    • What removing God from schools did to our nation
    • The real enemy behind America’s decline (Ephesians 6:12)
    • How believers can fight back with prayer, fasting, and truth

    This is not a political call. This is a biblical call. America needs God again—and it starts with you and me.

    🙏 If you’re ready to rise up, stand firm in your faith, and make heaven crowded, this episode is for you.

    👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this video to spread hope and truth in a dark world.
