LIVE from Times Square

Dr. Robyn Kassas

June 29, 2026

Live from the electric heart of Times Square on this historic Celebrate America 250th anniversary, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas deliver a prophetic and deeply personal message the Church and the nation desperately need: It’s time for America to be introduced to the real Jesus. In this powerful special edition of First Love, the Kassases confront the gap between knowing about God and actually knowing Jesus — and being fully known by Him. With Matthew 7:23 as a sobering yet hopeful anchor, they reveal how Jesus is not looking for religious performance, information, or filtered versions of us. He is knocking on the door of the places we’ve kept hidden — our insecurities, fears, doubts, and vulnerabilities — because He wants all of us. They unpack the beautiful mystery that the cross is not the end of the story but the beginning. Salvation is the first work of grace — the door that opens. The second work of grace is the journey of transformation where the Holy Spirit conforms us into His image. It’s not a formula or a one-time prayer that magically fixes everything. It’s a real relationship, a process, a walk through the door into trust, participation, and identity change. Blending spiritual depth with the wonder of how God designed us, they share how His mercies are truly new every morning — even down to the way our brains rewire while we sleep, offering fresh hope and new chances daily. Jesus doesn’t just forgive; He initiates. He came looking for us in the garden. He still comes looking for us in Times Square, in New York City, in New Jersey, and across the nations. This episode carries a clear prophetic invitation: Don’t just admire the door. Walk through it. Move from information to formation, from answers to trust, from observing to participating, from opinion to identity transformation, and from living in your mind to living from your heart. As you listen, may you return to your first love… and discover that this love was never meant to stay at the honeymoon stage. It matures into something deeper, steadier, and more transformative — where His thoughts become your thoughts, His ways become your ways, and you live fully seen, fully accepted, and radically changed by the One who loved you first. Jesus is real. Jesus is relevant. Jesus is relational. Come as you are. Leave as He is.
