In this powerful and timely episode of Sacrificially Speaking, we dive deep into Israel, prophecy, and the modern church’s response to world events.
From the unfolding Israel–Hamas conflict to the biblical warnings of “peace and safety,” Pastor Shane and Havana break down what Scripture actually says about modern Israel, Psalm 83, and the prophetic timeline leading toward the battle of Armageddon.
We talk about the spiritual roots behind global conflict, what it means for believers when nations turn against Israel, and how Christians can show compassion for innocent lives on both sides while standing firm in truth.
It’s not politics — it’s prophecy.

This episode of Sacrificially Speaking starts with laughter (and a few unexpected dog moments 🐶😂) but quickly turns into a powerful conversation about one of the most sacred parts of our faith — communion.
Pastor Shane and Havana talk about how communion has become routine for many believers, when in reality, it’s meant to be a deep act of unity, reflection, and spiritual connection to the Body of Christ.
They unpack the biblical meaning behind the Lord’s Supper, why Jesus chose that moment before His crucifixion, and how we often miss the heart of communion when we treat it as just another church ritual.
💬 In this episode:
The real meaning of communion — beyond the bread and juice
How the Passover reveals the depth of what Jesus did at the table
Why Paul warned about “discerning the Lord’s body”
How gossip and disunity weaken the church spiritually
What it looks like to honor the Body of Christ in everyday life
It’s funny, it’s real, and it’ll challenge how you think about communion and unity in the church.
📖 Scriptures discussed: Exodus 12, Luke 22, 1 Corinthians 11, Malachi 3–4

Fasting is one of the most misunderstood practices in the church today. Is it just about skipping meals? Is it a way to manipulate God? Or is there something deeper we’ve missed?
In this episode of Sacrificially Speaking, Pastor Shane Warren uncovers the truth about fasting: God’s way versus church tradition.

If you’ve ever wondered:
What does the Bible really say about fasting?
How is biblical fasting different from religious tradition?

In this special episode of Sacrificially Speaking, Pastor Shane sits down with Hunter Slone, a college senior, fisherman, and young adult at The Bend Church, for an unscripted conversation full of honest questions and raw answers. Hunter puts Pastor Shane on the spot with questions about being called at a young age, the challenges of preaching, and what spiritual maturity really looks like.
What follows is equal parts mentorship and real talk: stories from Shane’s first street preaching days in Nashville, lessons on finding your rhythm in the pulpit, and practical wisdom on how to grow in faith, plus a few laughs about fishing tournaments and broken door handles along the way.
This isn’t a polished sermon or a planned outline. It’s a vulnerable exchange between a seasoned pastor and a young believer, offering guidance, encouragement, and the kind of truth you only get in honest conversation.
In this final part of our Biblical Gifts Series, we take on a tough but vital question: What happens when the gifts of the Spirit are misused?
From “strange fire” in Scripture to modern-day hype and emotionalism, we explore what it looks like when gifts are taken out of God’s order—and why it’s so dangerous to misrepresent Him. We talk about false prophecies, Facebook prophets, and how emotional wildfire can damage the church when it replaces truth.
This episode will help you grow in discernment, accountability, and a deeper understanding of spiritual gifts—so you can walk in them the right way: with purity, reverence, and power.
