Parenting Kids Through Identity Issues in a Confused Culture 08/19/2026

Parenting Kids Through Identity Issues in a Confused Culture In Office Hours this week Pastor Amos discussed his experience using AI tool Claude to design websites for his premarital counseling service and new CFE landing page. The conversation shifted to a deeply personal discussion when LaToya shared her concerns about her 12-year-old daughter's emerging identity issues, including questions about bisexuality and exposure to inappropriate content through anime and social media. Several participants, including Stephanie and Abrianna, offered encouragement and parenting advice, emphasizing the importance of early education about difficult topics and limiting media exposure. The group also provided feedback on the newly designed CFE website and premarital counseling landing page, with suggestions to make the language more compelling and less generic. The conversation ended with a prayer for LaToya's daughter and discussion of current events regarding religious tensions in Dearborn, Michigan. __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42484045

It looks like God, but it might not be! 08/19/2026

It looks like God, but it might not be! For many believers, when we see an open door of opportunity, we quickly say that God has opened that door for us. For example, you may be offered a job making $500K per year and it appears to be an answer to your prayers. However, just because a door of opportunity is in front of you, that doesn't mean it's from God. We are led by the spirit of God, not doors of opportunity. __________ Romans 8:14 NLT, 1 Samuel 24:4–7 NLT, 1 Samuel 26:8–11 NLT __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42483900

Doing the right thing doesn't guarantee an immediate positive outcome 08/18/2026

Doing the right thing doesn't guarantee an immediate positive outcome Many people are frustrated because they are doing the right things but they're not immediately seeing the results they expect. In 1 Samuel 24 and 26, we are going to see an example of this. David did the right thing but did not receive immediate victory from his situation. The insight we are going to process is that we should do the right thing in spite of the immediate results. __________ Proverbs 13:12 NLT, Matthew 5:10 NLT, 1 Samuel 24:4–7 NLT, 1 Samuel 26:1–2 NLT, 1 Samuel 26:8–11 NLT __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42468460

Your "Why" for success has to be rooted in pleasing God 08/17/2026

Your "Why" for success has to be rooted in pleasing God Why do you want to succeed in business, ministry, or anything you do? Well, according to 1 Thessalonians 2:1-6, it needs to be to please God. If your "why" is anything other than to please God, then your why is shaky and will not give you a foundation to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of success. __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42432605

Financial success or failure is not an indication of God's blessing or judgment 08/14/2026

Financial success or failure is not an indication of God's blessing or judgment In Malachi 3:13-18, the Israelites complained that God was blessing wicked people and righteous people were struggling. Because of this, they concluded that serving God didn't matter. The insight we are going to process is that from the outside looking in, the financial success or failure of someone is not an indication of God's blessing or judgment. __________ Malachi 3:13-18 NLT __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42386550

You don't need a younger woman! 08/13/2026

You don't need a younger woman! We are exploring Malachi 2:13-16 and Proverbs 5:15-19. In these scriptures, God admonishes older married men to enjoy the wife of their youth and not to divorce them for younger women. The insight we are processing is that our wives will physically change as they age, and regardless of their age, we should still see them just as beautiful as the day we married them. This insight focuses mainly on older married men, but this revelation also applies to older married women. __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42384995

Everyone Loves to Build, but Marketing and Sales Drive the Business 08/12/2026

Everyone Loves to Build, but Marketing and Sales Drive the Business Office hours started with a discussion about adjusting the schedule for office hours due to Pastor Amos’s conflict with Morehouse College, with the group leaning toward moving to Tuesday at 7 p.m. Pastor Amos shared his thoughts on possibly restarting a weekly Bible study and developing a pre-engagement or pre-marriage course, with input from Anya, Stephanie, and others on naming and marketing the program. The group discussed challenges in relationships, the impact of social media on marriage, and the importance of addressing pain points in dating and marriage preparation. Micah raised concerns about financial stewardship and credit issues among entrepreneurs, and Pastor Amos suggested resources and encouraged creating workshops on the topic. Sonja asked for resources on sales and marketing, and Amos recommended books and emphasized the importance of focusing on marketing over just building products. Antonio and Bose shared insights on spiritual warfare in marriage and business, and the need to prioritize prayer and seeking God’s guidance. Stephanie encouraged a mindset shift toward loving and serving clients in sales. The meeting closed with prayer and a reminder of the month’s prayer focus on unmet expectations and unfulfilled desires. __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42410030

Jesus didn't say anything about that! 08/12/2026

Jesus didn't say anything about that! Many of today's cultural issues, such as abortion, are not directly discussed by Jesus. However, in the limited pages of a book, Jesus could not have addressed everything we would encounter in life. Therefore, God left us with 10 guiding principles in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. __________ Exodus 20:1-17 NLT, Mark 2:27 NLT __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42371215

Don't bring worldly business principles into the Kingdom 08/11/2026

Don't bring worldly business principles into the Kingdom We are exploring Acts 16:16-19 and Acts 8:9-23. In these passages, we are going to discover the danger of mixing worldly business principles with the Kingdom of God. The revelation I want you to process is, "Am I bringing my old ways of doing business into this new Kingdom Business journey God has me on?" __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42370930

God intentionally calls us to win with less 08/10/2026

God intentionally calls us to win with less We are exploring Judges 7:2-7. In this passage, God instructs Gideon to fight 120,000 Midianites with only 300 men. The revelation we are going to process is that God intentionally calls us to win in our calling with fewer resources than we think we need. He does this so He can get the glory, not our resources. __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42319500

In the beginning 08/08/2026

In the beginning Genesis 1–3 reveals God as the purposeful Creator who formed the world in an orderly way, declared His creation very good, and created mankind in His image to live in relationship with Him and steward His creation. Mankind was given meaningful work, marriage, companionship, and responsibility as part of God’s original design, with obedience to God at the center of life and flourishing. However, Satan introduced deception and doubt about God’s Word, leading the woman to be deceived and Adam to knowingly disobey God. Through sin came spiritual death, separation from God, shame, fear, broken relationships, difficulty in work and childbirth, corruption in creation, and ultimately physical death. Yet God’s response to the fall revealed both justice and mercy: He cared for Adam and Eve in their fallen condition, prevented them from living forever in that condition, and promised that the offspring of the woman would ultimately defeat Satan. From creation to the fall, Genesis 1–3 establishes mankind’s original purpose, explains the brokenness of the world, and points forward to God’s plan of redemption through Christ and the eventual restoration of what was lost. __________ Notes & Scriptures: Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42362975

You get submission, you get submission, you get submission! 08/07/2026

You get submission, you get submission, you get submission! We are exploring 1 Peter 2 and 3. In these passages, Peter discusses how, as believers, we are required to submit to the government, our employers, and our spouses. The revelation we are processing is the importance of submission in the life of the believer. Submission is not just about wives submitting to their husbands—all believers are under a requirement of submission. __________ 1 Peter 2:13-25 KJV, 1 Peter 3:1-7 KJV __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42318805

Did God tell me that? 08/06/2026

Did God tell me that? We are exploring John 16:5-15. In this passage, Jesus explains the job of Holy Spirit, which is to lead us into the truth. The revelation we are going to process is, how do we determine when Holy Spirit is speaking to us versus when we are hearing what we want to hear? __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42317505

A broom swept over my foot! 08/05/2026

A broom swept over my foot! Office hours began with a discussion on biblical perspectives about marriage. Stephanie asked about friends who were considering having a wedding ceremony without going through the government, which led to an extensive conversation about the importance of legal marriage documentation and avoiding living in falsehood. The conversation then shifted to spiritual topics, including whether demonic spirits can inhabit inanimate objects. Pastor Amos explained that, while Scripture provides no precedent for demons possessing objects, evil spirits can influence people and may become associated with or follow certain objects. He also emphasized that believers are constantly engaged in spiritual warfare but are protected by the Holy Spirit. Several participants shared personal experiences involving fear responses, cultural superstitions, and challenges to their faith. Andrea discussed losing her job and the importance of renewing her mind, while others shared experiences related to perceived demonic influences in homes and the need to overcome fear-based responses through the renewing of the mind with Scripture. The conversation concluded with discussions about maintaining creativity while balancing ministry responsibilities and how churches should address contemporary social issues such as same-sex marriage and transgender athletes. __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42329495

Don't rush the delay 08/05/2026

Don't rush the delay We are exploring Numbers 14:39-45. In these passages, the Israelites override God's instructions to stay in the wilderness for 40 years. Instead of accepting God's delay, they attempt to conquer the promised land and they are completely defeated. The revelation we are going to process is that God may intentionally delay us, which is designed to grow our faith, so we should not try to speed up the growth process. Instead, we need to patiently wait it out and grow. __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42316990

The Current You May Not Be Ready for the Next Level We are exploring Matthew 13:58, Matthew 17:19-20, Exodus 13:17-18, and Numbers 14:29-33. The revelation we are going to process from these passages is that our current level of faith may not be ready for the next level of success God has for us. __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42308985

What's up with my vision? 08/03/2026

What's up with my vision? In scripture, Jesus describes four types of people who have varying levels of success in their calling. The revelation we are going to process is introspective.

From Dating to Engagement in One Year 07/31/2026

From Dating to Engagement in One Year For Christians who desire marriage, a healthy relationship can move from dating to engagement within a year through intentional discernment. Begin with three months of exclusive dating focused solely on getting to know one another without making marriage commitments. If the relationship shows clear potential, continue with six weeks to three months of premarital counseling with a trusted pastor or counselor to evaluate biblical, emotional, and practical compatibility. At the conclusion of counseling, make a mutual decision about whether to pursue marriage. Once both people have agreed, set a wedding date, and then the proposal can serve as a joyful celebration of a decision that has already been made together—not as the moment the decision is first introduced. Rather than dating indefinitely, aim to reach clarity within a year by either ending the relationship or moving toward marriage with a planned wedding date. __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42259235

You married the wrong person! 07/30/2026

You married the wrong person! We are exploring that Abraham and Sarah's marriage was illegitimate but God made them right for each other. The revelation we are going to process is that even though you married the wrong person, God can still bless your marriage — if you allow him to. __________ Genesis 20:11-13 NLT, Leviticus 18:1-9 NLT, Genesis 17:19 NLT __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42258625

Can Demonic Spirits Inhabit AI? 07/29/2026

Can Demonic Spirits Inhabit AI? At Office Hours today, Micah shared his business success in forming referral partnerships and the importance of following the Holy Spirit's guidance. Theresa discussed her experience leading a devotional for caregivers on the Bible app and her plans to create more community resources. Ark celebrated his recent speaking engagements and business developments, and asked about co-working spaces. Pastor Amos provided insights on focusing on one's calling, referencing 1 Corinthians, and shared his experience using AI to design a course. The group also had a lengthy discussion about whether demonic spirits can inhabit AI, with Pastor Amos and Ark explaining that AI is simply code and not susceptible to spiritual inhabitation. Rowena sought advice on faith and God's timing, to which Pastor Amos responded by emphasizing the need for faith to be based on God's promises and the importance of enduring faith. The conversation ended with prayers for Stephanie, who was in the hospital, and Rowena's recovery from shoulder surgery. __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42256235

Be not afraid, only believe 07/29/2026

Be not afraid, only believe We are exploring Mark 5:35-42. In this passage, a 12-year-old girl dies while Jesus is on His way to heal her. After the father hears the bad news, Jesus tells him, "Be not afraid, only believe." The main revelation we are going to process from this text is that when we receive bad news about our vision, we are to not be afraid, but only believe. Because God anointing on our life overcomes bad news. __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42228710

Why are you so fearful of failing? 07/28/2026

Why are you so fearful of failing? Fear often rises when obstacles threaten the vision God has given us. For example, Jesus told His disciples to go to the other side of the lake by boat, but they allowed the storm to overshadow His promise and questioned whether He cared for them. Their fear exposed a lack of trust in His word rather than the size of the storm. Jesus demonstrated His authority by calming the wind and the waves, reminding them that faith is anchored in who He is, not in favorable circumstances. When challenges arise, the real question is whether we will trust God's promise or let fear define our response. __________ Mark 4:35-41 NLT __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42227850

Suffering Faithfully in Marriage 07/27/2026

Suffering Faithfully in Marriage Marriage often brings moments of deep joy, but it can also bring disappointment when our spouse falls short of meeting our expectations or fulfilling their responsibilities. In 1 Peter 2:18–24, Peter teaches that God is honored when we continue to do what is right, even while suffering unjustly. Applying this principle to marriage, we see that our faithfulness to the marriage covenant is not determined by our spouse's behavior but by our obedience to God. Believers are required to remain committed to loving, serving, and honoring their spouse despite disappointment, following the example of Christ, who suffered without retaliation and entrusted Himself to the Father. As we suffer faithfully in marriage, we reflect the character of Christ and demonstrate that our ultimate hope is found in God, not in the perfect performance of our spouse. __________ Matthew 19:11-12 MSG, 1 Peter 2:18-24 NLT __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42208840

Why do marriage teachings in the church overly focus on wives submitting? 07/26/2026

Why do marriage teachings in the church overly focus on wives submitting? In last week's Office Hours, Pastor Amos addressed the "unbalanced" teaching that emphasizes wives submitting without giving equal emphasis to husbands loving their wives as Christ loved the church, which he defines as "dying to yourself" to serve your spouse. __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42215285

Should we make business plans or just wait on God? 07/24/2026

Should we make business plans or just wait on God? In this excerpt from Office Hours, Pastor Amos explains that believers should use both natural planning and spiritual guidance, citing the Apostle Paul as a model for making plans while leaving room for the Holy Spirit to make adjustments. __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42209035

Is traditional thinking stopping your calling 07/24/2026

Is traditional thinking stopping your calling Jesus challenges the religious leaders by exposing how human traditions can quietly replace God's truth. While they focused on protecting long-standing customs, they neglected God's actual commands, revealing hearts that honored Him outwardly but were distant inwardly. This message invites us to examine the unconscious traditions, assumptions, and patterns we follow that may be preventing us from recognizing God's fresh direction and calling. True obedience is not about preserving familiar practices but about remaining sensitive to God's Word and willing to follow Him wherever He leads. __________ Matthew 15:1-9 NLT __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42124475

Follow God over the data 07/23/2026

Follow God over the data Jesus borrowed Peter's boat to teach the crowds, and after preaching, He instructed Peter to launch into deep water and let down his nets. Everything Peter knew as an experienced fisherman—and all the data from that night's failed efforts—told him it was pointless. They had fished all night, caught nothing, and were already cleaning their nets to go home. From a natural perspective, Jesus was a carpenter, not a fisherman, and His instruction contradicted both experience and expertise. Yet Peter chose obedience over evidence, saying, "Nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net." His obedience produced a miraculous catch that exceeded every expectation. This example teaches that while data and past experiences can inform us, they should never have the final authority over God's word. When God speaks, His direction can override what history, logic, or statistics say is possible, calling us to trust His voice above the limitations of the data. __________ Luke 5:1-9 KJV __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42123075

God will keep you feeling young as you walk out your calling 07/22/2026

God will keep you feeling young as you walk out your calling This week's Office Hours covered a range of topics. Bose raised questions about making plans as a Christian and the role of the enemy, to which Pastor Amos responded by emphasizing a balance between planning and praying, citing biblical examples. Sonja inquired about the story of Jacob wrestling with God, and Pastor Amos explained the difference in engagement with God between the Old and New Testaments, focusing on identity in Christ. Bose also discussed the stronghold of cultural traditions in the church, particularly regarding marriage roles, and Pastor Amos agreed on the need for prayer and teaching to address these imbalances. Stephanie asked about the biblical perspective on supporting Israel, and Pastor Amos provided a nuanced view, acknowledging Israel's prophetic significance while noting that they are still accountable for their actions. Deborah shared her reflections on entering her 60s, seeking wisdom on what to carry forward, and received encouragement from Pastor Amos and others about embracing the new decade with wisdom and purpose. The conversation ended with a prayer for the victims of a ferry disaster in Guyana and for various personal and global concerns. __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42184490

Don't change the vision to fit your limitations 07/22/2026

Don't change the vision to fit your limitations God revealed a clear and specific vision for Abraham and Sarah: they would become the parents of many nations through a son born to them together. Even after reaffirming His covenant and changing their names to reflect their future, Abraham allowed his natural limitations—his age and Sarah's barrenness—to shape his expectations. Instead of embracing God's promise, he suggested that Ishmael fulfill the vision, attempting to reduce God's plan to something that seemed more realistic. But God refused to lower His promise to match Abraham's doubts. He affirmed that while Ishmael would be blessed, His covenant would come through Isaac, the promised son. This example reminds us that God's vision is not determined by our limitations. Faith requires us to trust His power rather than adjust His promises to fit what seems possible in our own strength. __________ Genesis 17:1-7 NLT, Genesis 17:15-21 NLT __________ Partner with Us: Connect with Us: __________ /episode/index/show/amosjohnsonjr/id/42122905
