The 5th Gospel
Matthew wrote it. Mark recorded it. Luke investigated it. John revealed it.
But the story didn’t stop there.
You are the continuation.
The 5th Gospel is a bold, no-compromise podcast for Christians who refuse to live a quiet, lukewarm faith. This is for the ones who know that following Jesus Christ isn’t about information, it’s about transformation… obedience… and visible, undeniable fruit.
We dive deep into:
- What it actually means to fear God in a culture that doesn’t.
- The difference between modern Christianity and biblical Christianity.
- Bold obedience even when it costs you something.
- Breaking out of passive faith and stepping into spiritual authority.
- The real tension between comfort and calling.
- Identity, discipline, and the kind of faith that produces results
This isn’t theology for the sake of knowledge.
This is activation for discipleship.
Because some people you meet may never read a Bible… but they will read you.

The Occult Nearly Ruined Me… Here’s What Saved Me

What happens when curiosity about the occult turns into something real? In this episode, we sit down with Brian Wigton, a New York-based entrepreneur, to unpack his journey from growing up in church to rebellion, drugs, travel, and experimenting with the occult—including spells, Ouija boards, and a terrifying moment that made him question everything. Brian shares how these experiences opened his eyes to the reality of the spiritual realm and ultimately led him to search for truth beyond what the world was offering.
After years of wandering, a pivotal moment following 9/11 shattered his belief that all spiritual paths were the same. What followed was a powerful encounter with conviction, the authority of Jesus, and a complete transformation of his life. We dive into spiritual warfare, faith in business, marriage struggles, depression, and what it truly means to live with obedience and purpose. This is a raw, honest conversation about redemption, truth, and the cost—and power—of real faith.
