I wanted to get this out to you all for Good Friday.

This is a preaching clip from Rev Lee Stoneking ministering at Tabernacle of Joy in Singapore. You can watch the full sermon here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4nRf3IG0yI

In this episode, I sit down with Ashley Mohr — speaker and creator of The Pillar Diaries — to talk about the power of testimony, authenticity in the church, and how God uses both the seen and unseen to build His kingdom.Ashley shares her powerful story of growing up in church, walking away from God for nearly a decade, and ultimately finding restoration through a life-changing encounter. She opens up about the misconception that we have to “be good enough” to serve God — and how she discovered that it’s actually God’s goodness that qualifies us.This conversation dives deep into:- Why real, raw testimonies matter more than polished ones- The unseen people who are truly building the church- How your past doesn’t disqualify you — it prepares you- The biblical foundation behind The Pillar Diaries- How every believer can become a “pillar” in their generation

What about the thief on the cross?In this clip from Episode 218 of The Hacka Podcast, Greg Hackathorn and Simeon Costa respond to one of the most common objections in the baptism conversation.If the thief wasn’t baptized, does that mean baptism isn’t necessary?Together, we walk through Luke 23, the timing of the Old Covenant vs the New Covenant, and why the thief’s experience took place before the death, resurrection, and outpouring of the Spirit in Acts 2.This isn’t about dismissing the story — it’s about understanding when it happened and how that affects how we interpret it today.If you’ve ever used (or heard) this argument, this clip will help you see it in context.
