Culture & Christianity: The Allen Jackson Podcast

You’ve been given more authority than you realize—but most of us are using it far too small. In this episode, Pastor Allen Jackson challenges the way we think about spiritual authority, prayer, and influence, and why it was never meant to stop at personal comfort or convenience. He draws a sharp contrast between how power is often used in public life and how believers are called to use the authority of the Kingdom. This is a call to lift our eyes beyond ourselves and engage in what God is doing in the world. If faith is meant to make an impact, then the real question is: What are you doing with the authority you’ve been given?

What does it actually take to survive five missions in space—and what is the U.S. doing to win the new space race? Former NASA Space Shuttle Commander Robert “Hoot” Gibson shares firsthand insight from decades in the cockpit, including the risks, breakthroughs, and behind-the-scenes reality of America’s journey to the moon and beyond. He explains how space exploration has shaped modern life on Earth and why the next era of missions is so critical. In the end, he reveals a simple but challenging truth: The best things in life—like spaceflight itself—only happen when we’re willing to do difficult things.

What happens when you die? In this episode of Culture and Christianity, Gabe Poirot shares the moment he died, encountered Jesus, and returned after 18 days in a coma.

This conversation will stretch your understanding of eternity, deepen your love for Jesus, and invite you to a life of surrender to God and His ways.

This Holy Week, the question isn’t just what you believe—it’s where you stand. As we reflect on Easter, we’re reminded that faith was never meant to stay inside church walls or remain a private conviction. In this episode, Pastor Allen Jackson challenges us to choose belief over skepticism, step out of neutrality, and live our faith boldly in the world around us. God is moving—will you join Him?

What happens when faith is kept private in a world that’s anything but neutral? In this episode, Pastor Allen Jackson challenges the idea that Christianity belongs only inside church walls and calls believers to reclaim their influence in everyday life. Through personal stories and biblical insight, he unpacks why silence has cost the Church cultural ground—and what it looks like to lead with faith right where you are. The insights he shares in this episode can be found in his book Lead with Faith, offering practical encouragement to help you use your influence for God’s purposes. This isn’t about being louder—it’s about being faithful.
