In a world that often feels like it’s spinning out of control, finding a moment of true calm can feel impossible. In the conclusion of the “What a Pain” series, Jeff Dixon explores how the chaos we face today mirrors the tension and uncertainty of the first century. While we often search for peace in our external circumstances, Jesus offers a different kind of security—one that isn’t dependent on our surroundings. By diving into the promise of Deuteronomy 31:8, this video reminds us that we are never forsaken and that even in the midst of deep pain, we don’t have to face it alone. Discover how to shift your focus from the storm to the One who stands with you through it.

Welcome to the third installment of “The Jesus Times.” Today, we delve into a mind-bending moment in Scripture often referred to as the Transfiguration. In this 3rd delivery, we witness Jesus revealing His divine glory before His disciples—a scene that feels ripped straight from an X-Files episode! Why the X-Files? Well in cultural understanding the X-Files was a television show built around a real world scenario of cases, too mysterious to comprehend, and cases that seemed to have no clear answer in the world of law enforcement becoming cases labeled with an X. This passage of scripture has been looked at, studied, and debated for years, but today you will discover why it matters to you! It can only happen here in The Jesus Times.

In this moving and often hilarious session, Jeff Dixon shares a pivotal story from his youth about the night a mentor challenged him to stop “all talk” and actually get to know the people he claimed to love. Moving from the basketball court to the prayer meeting, Jeff illustrates a profound truth: the strength of a church lies in authentic relationships, not isolated compartments. Watch as the community uses a “Wheel of Connection” to share everything from dumb injuries and fashion fails to unexpected spiritual lessons. It’s a powerful reminder that to truly love the Body of Christ, we must first be brave enough to be known.

Did you know that one of the most beloved children’s hymns in history actually began as a Civil War ballad? In this episode of “Don’t Get Hit in the Head with a Hymnal,” we dive into the fascinating history of “Jesus Loves the Little Children.” Discover how the musical genius George Frederick Root—who originally published patriotic Union songs under a pseudonym to protect his classical reputation—composed a melody for a soldier’s song titled “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp.” Learn how this tune, originally written about a prisoner of war, was transformed by lyricist Charles Herbert Woolston into the timeless Sunday School classic we still sing today. It is a remarkable journey from the battlefield to the church pew that you won’t want to miss!
