The First Classroom in Hell Is a Bible Study Without Context | Live at The Send Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

Satan quoted Psalm 91 to the Son of God. His citations were accurate. His chapter and verse were right, yet he omitted the very next line, the one that promised his own demise. The first classroom in hell is a Bible study without context. This episode is a live teaching from The Send where Pastor Darren and Angela unpack Matthew 4, counter-formation, and what it looks like to be formed by Jesus in a world that is actively forming you into something else.

In this episode:

Matthew 4 and the temptation of Jesus where Satan uses scripture to combat faithfulness, grab power, and omit what does not serve him
Gen Z Bible reading hit 49% in one year and belief in the Bible's accuracy is shrinking at the same time
Engagement is outpacing conviction and what the Barna data actually reveals about the church right now
The first classroom in hell is a Bible study without context and it is happening on Instagram every day
You can quote scripture and still be Satan and the difference between quoting the word and submitting to it
Angela's testimony of being saved at 25, delivered from alcoholism and eating disorders, and what the Word did in her life
Cultural Christianity has changed three things including your relationship with scripture, the church, and the lordship of Jesus

Sexual Integrity, Purity in Dating, and What the Bible Actually Says Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

Masculinity makes it safe for femininity to flourish. And men have to lead the way in purity before they ever lead in a relationship. This episode covers the complementarian design of masculine and feminine working together, sexual integrity in dating, Proverbs 5 and 7, Ephesians 4, and what it actually looks like for a man to set the tone in communication, in conflict, and in purity.

In this episode:

Angela's story: Albanian culture, a powerful mother, and how Jesus made her more feminine than anything else
Why masculinity and femininity need each other; and what goes wrong when one is absent
Men leading through self-sacrifice, communication, conflict, and emotional tone
Proverbs 5 and 7 on sexual integrity; the eyes, the heart, and the trap
Not even a hint; Ephesians 4 and the standard that applies to everyone
Pornography is as addictive as cocaine; don't quit, and here is what helps
Finding a higher joy in Jesus Christ is the only thing that actually replaces lust

The Father Wound, Passive Men & the Biblical Standard Nobody Is Talking About Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

What does it actually mean to be a man of God — and why is it so hard to find in the church, in dating, and in everyday life? This episode covers the full biblical picture of masculinity: from the wounds that produce passive men, to David's six-attribute blueprint, to the complementarian beauty of the masculine and feminine working together.
In this episode:
• What intentional pursuit actually looks like — and why mixed signals leave women stuck and confused
• The Simba Complex: running from your calling, living in hakuna matata, and what it takes to step into your true identity
• Toxic therapy culture vs. radical accountability — the difference between a vocabulary for your wounds and actually healing from them
• Why passivity in men almost always traces back to a boy who was never initiated into manhood
• Responsibility as masculinity — what Genesis 2 reveals about the garden and why nothing flourished until man showed up to tend it
• Knowing God as the fuel of manhood — Moses, the burning bush, and "show me your glory"
• Beauty and the Beast as the most accurate picture of the masculine and feminine working together that culture never meant to give us

Stop Waiting for Permission to Be Strong — Derek Mack on Biblical Masculinity Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

The version of Jesus most people carry in their minds — gentle, passive, blonde-haired, blue-eyed — is not the Jesus of Scripture. The real Jesus turned over tables, carried heavy stone, wept publicly, welcomed the outcast, and went to the cross without flinching. This episode is a conversation with Derek Mack about what genuine biblical masculinity actually looks like when Jesus is the model instead of culture.
In this episode:
• Why our domesticated version of Jesus has produced a domesticated version of men
• The Greek word androzomai — play the man — and why Polycarp heard it from heaven before he burned
• Andrew Tate and why half-truths are more dangerous than outright lies
• The Peter Pan generation — living in Neverland, escaping into video games, avoiding the call to grow up
• Why the fatherless crisis is at the center of everything happening with men right now
• 1 Corinthians 16:13 and the call to be on guard, stand firm, be courageous, be strong, and do everything in love
• Stop waiting for permission to be strong

Preston Morrison on Why God's Correction Is a Sign of His Delight Not His Anger Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

A good father does not correct a child he has given up on. He corrects the one he is still invested in — the one he delights in. This episode is a conversation with Preston Morrison about what God's correction actually is, why it is one of the clearest signs of His love, and how to respond when you feel that prompting that something is off.

In this episode:

Proverbs 3 — the Lord disciplines those He loves, as a father the son He delights in
Why correction from God sounds nothing like condemnation from the enemy
What God's wrath in Romans 1 actually is — and why most people misread it
What it feels like when the Holy Spirit corrects you — even in the smallest moments
Why the faster you are grieved by what grieves God the closer you are to Him
Don't run from correction — run toward it like the buffalo in the storm
Repentance — teshuvah, metanoia, and what Jesus meant in Mark 1

Preston Morrison on Tearing Down Idols and Making Room for God Aug 26, 2026

Show notes

Jesus did not die for followers. He did not die for servants. He died to restore our friendship with God — and we have to come back to the table. This episode is a conversation with Preston Morrison about what it looks like to re-dig the old wells, tear down what is competing with God, and return to the simple things that have always carried the presence of God.

In this episode:

Preston's fostering and adoption story — why God told him this was not for Maxon, it was for him
The pleasure of the Lord — what it is, what produces it, and why it becomes an addiction
Idols defined — anything that occupies the part of your heart God alone was meant to occupy
Why addressing idols is romantic not religious — the marriage illustration that reframes everything
John 15 and friendship with God — why this has to be at the center of everything
What the church needs to recover right now — worship, the Word, prayer, intercession, and patience
Memorial stones — Joshua 4 and why we need to remember what God has done before we ask for what is next

Pastor Michael Koulianos on Union With Christ and Why It Is Not About You Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

Spiritual formation is an intentional process of being transformed into Christ-likeness — for the sake of others. That last phrase is what the church has quietly dropped. This episode is a rich, theologically deep conversation with Pastor Michael Koulianos about what formation was always meant to be, why the self has become the center of so much Christian practice, and how the cross reorders everything.
In this episode:

Why the current obsession with personality, calling, and passion is a sign of expressive individualism making its way into the church
Find a church and stay there — Eugene Peterson's one line that reframes everything about how we approach community
The vine and the branches — why severing anything God is doing from the Lord Himself turns it into an idol
Pre-fall Adam was not self-aware — he was enamored with God, and that is what formation is recovering
Why Jesus does not give life — He gives Himself, and in giving Himself He gives life
Angela's honest testimony of being platformed before she was rooted and what kept her tethered to Jesus
The Christian life includes you but it is not about you

Pastor Michael Koulianos on Revival and What the Church Is Missing Right Now Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

Pastor Michael Koulianos has been in rooms where the Holy Spirit moved in ways that could not be explained, manufactured, or replicated. He has also been in rooms where everything was tried and nothing happened. This episode is a conversation about the difference — what revival actually is, what produces it, and why the church in the West is so hungry for something she has largely stopped making room for.
In this episode:
• The Holy Spirit is a person not a force — and that distinction changes everything
• You can grieve the Holy Spirit — what that means practically and why most of us do it without realizing
• Pastor Michael's personal story — how an encounter with the Holy Spirit redirected the entire trajectory of his life
• What it looks like when the Holy Spirit actually moves vs. when it is manufactured enthusiasm
• Revival is not an event — it is what happens when the people of God return to their first love
• What the church needs to recover right now and what Pastor Michael believes God is stirring
• How to position yourself and your community to make room for the Holy Spirit

Why Most People Struggle to Pray — and What Actually Helps Aug 05, 2026

Show notes

The Lord's Prayer is not a prayer you pray — it is a school you attend. Every line is a classroom teaching you something about who God is, who you are, and what you actually need. This episode walks through the full framework of the Lord's Prayer alongside a practical theology of prayer for anyone who has ever wanted to pray more but did not know where to start.

In this episode:

Our Father in heaven — why the opening two words reframe everything about how you approach God
Hallowed be your name — what it means to treat God as holy before you ask for anything
Your kingdom come, your will be done — praying in alignment rather than negotiation
Give us today our daily bread — why Jesus taught us to ask for today's needs and not tomorrow's
Forgive us our debts as we forgive — the uncomfortable condition built into the prayer
Lead us not into temptation — what this reveals about our own vulnerability
The six windows of prayer and how to find which one connects you most deeply to God
