What do you do when God doesn’t make sense?

In this powerful and emotional episode of Truth Behind the Mike, Mike sits down with Worship Pastor Jakobee Cotton from Living Hope Church in Findlay, Ohio to share a story that will deeply move you.

After walking through a season of faith, calling, and surrender… Jakobee and his wife were faced with the unimaginable:

💔 Losing their son at 17 weeks.

In this conversation, Jakobee opens up about:

• The pain of losing a child before birth
• Wrestling honestly with God in grief
• What real faith looks like in suffering
• The moment that changed everything in the hospital room
• Why he chose to trust God… even when it didn’t make sense

This is not a polished “church answer.”

This is real.
This is raw.
This is faith in the fire.

If you’ve ever asked:
👉 “God, where are you?”
👉 “Why would this happen?”
👉 “Can I still trust Him?”

This episode is for you.

📖 “Lord, where else would we go? You have the words of eternal life.” — John 6:68

Why does the Bible say “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”—yet the fear of God is rarely talked about in modern Christianity?

In this episode of the Behind the Mike Podcast, Mike Stone explores the biblical meaning of the fear of the Lord, why this foundational truth has faded from many churches, and what happens to faith and culture when reverence for God disappears.

Through scripture, historical examples, and practical insight, this message examines the tension between God’s holiness and God’s love and why rediscovering the fear of the Lord may be essential for spiritual renewal.

Topics explored in this video:
• What the fear of the Lord actually means
• Why modern culture resists the idea of fearing God
• How losing the fear of God affects the church
• Biblical examples of encountering the holiness of God
• Why reverence for God leads to wisdom and transformation

If you’re seeking a deeper understanding of scripture and a stronger foundation for your faith, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

Is belief in Jesus Christ based on blind faith… or credible evidence?

In this video, we examine the historical, scientific, and philosophical evidence surrounding Christianity and the resurrection of Jesus. From the origin of the universe and the fine-tuning of physical laws to the historical case for the resurrection, we explore arguments that many historians, scientists, and philosophers take seriously.

This video examines:
• The origin of the universe and the Kalam Cosmological Argument
• Fine-tuning in the laws of physics
• The mystery of DNA and biological information
• Historical evidence for Jesus of Nazareth
• Non-Christian sources like Tacitus and Josephus
• Gary Habermas’ Minimal Facts argument for the resurrection
• N.T. Wright’s historical analysis of the early Christian movement
• Why the resurrection of Jesus remains one of the most debated events in history

Christianity stands or falls on the resurrection of Jesus. If it happened, it changes everything.

Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, or simply curious, this video invites you to explore the evidence and decide for yourself.
