Obedience was never meant to be easy, and Scripture never pretended it would be. In this episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis exposes a truth many believers aren’t prepared for: Obedience is Warfare. If following Jesus has made your life harder, more resisted, or more pressured, not easier, you’re not failing. You’re engaged. Drawing from Ephesians 6, Galatians 5, Luke 4, and 2 Corinthians 10, this episode breaks down why resistance often confirms obedience rather than disproves it. You’ll discover how spiritual warfare usually shows up, not through dramatic encounters, but through delayed obedience, compromise, internal conflict, and thoughts that push you to quit. Jon unpacks how Jesus faced temptation, why the Spirit fills before testing, and how immediate obedience sharpens discernment. You’ll walk away with three Uncommon Steps to help you stand firm, reclaim ground, and live boldly in a culture that pressures compromise. You weren’t saved for ease. You were saved for engagement. And Spirit-filled believers don’t retreat, they stand. If obedience feels like a fight, you’re not doing it wrong, you’re engaged. In UNC018, Jon Ellis explains why following Jesus brings resistance, how obedience is spiritual warfare, and how to stand firm without backing down.

In this teaching by Pastor Dobbs, he ministers from Philippians 1:1 and Philippians 4:11-13 on Paul's declaration that he was a bondservant. A bondservant is someone who is faithful, loyal and devoted to Jesus Christ. This helped Paul minister to the church at Philippi and this devotion will help us minister to others as well. Scripture: Philippians 1:1 - Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Jesus Christ, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: Philippians 4:11-13 11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things, I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

In this message by Pastor Dobbs, he is teaching from Philippians 4:11-13 on how Paul had matured to the point that he was content in being abased, abound, full, hungry and suffer need. He understood that Christ gave him the strength in order to do this and will do the same for us. Scripture: Philippians 4:11-13 11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things, I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

A new year doesn’t need better intentions, it needs divine power. In this New Year episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis exposes why so many believers feel spiritually exhausted: they’re trying to live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit leading it. The Spirit-filled life isn’t emotional hype or theological preference — it’s the difference between survival and victory. In this episode, you’ll discover: ● Why willpower and discipline can’t sustain obedience ● What Scripture actually says about the role of the Holy Spirit ● How cultural Christianity replaced power with effort ● Practical steps to enter the new year Spirit-led, not burned out If you’re tired of striving, stuck in cycles, or hungry for real transformation, this episode resets everything. Willpower has never transformed anyone. In this New Year episode, Jon Ellis reveals why the Spirit-filled life isn’t optional, it’s essential. You don’t need a new calendar; you need new power.

In this message by Pastor Dobbs, he ministers from I Corinthians 15:58 and James 1:8 on whether a believer is dogged or double minded. He encourages a believer to be dogged in their choices to obey the Lord for their labor is not in vain for those who carry out the will of God. Scripture: I Corinthians 15:58 - Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. James 1:8 - he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Holiness didn’t disappear…..it was replaced. In this Christmas episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis confronts the quiet erosion of holiness in modern Christianity. Not legalism. Not perfectionism. But what Scripture actually means when it calls believers to live set apart, not as an image to protect, but an identity to walk in. Christmas didn’t come to make us comfortable, it came to make us holy. And when holiness is redefined or avoided, devotion fades, obedience delays, and spiritual hunger slowly dies. In this episode, you’ll discover: ● Why holiness feels outdated in today’s culture ● How Christmas Christianity celebrates Jesus without surrendering to His lordship ● What holiness is, and what it is not ● How to return to a set-apart life without legalism, fear, or exhaustion This message is pastoral, prophetic, and deeply practical, calling believers back to identity, obedience, and a faith worth the cost. Holiness didn’t disappear, it was replaced. In this Christmas episode, Jon Ellis exposes how cultural Christianity celebrates Jesus without surrendering to Him, and why being set apart is still worth the cost. Holiness isn’t a burden, it’s a rescue.

In this message by Pastor Dobbs, he ministers from Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:23 on one of the reasons that we celebrate the birth of Christ is that He said He would be with us. God will never leave us nor forsake us. Scripture: Isaiah 7:14 - Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Matthew 1:23 - “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
