Jonathan called in to ask about the difference between our righteous actions and our righteousness as people.

His question spurred me to share several important thoughts on righteousness.

In this eipisode, I distinguish the inspiring truth from some of the misconceptions we hear today.

Does the God of the Old Testament seem different in the New Testament? A caller asked me about this apparent shift from violence to mercy. Is God having a personality crisis? And what about evil and disasters – is God hurling calamities our way?

God’s character is unchanging, but there’s been a radical change in covenants. As believers today, we’re living under a better deal with better promises. No more worrying about losing the Holy Spirit or offering endless sacrifices. The Gospel offers us a life of grace and freedom.

Dive into this video and transform your understanding of God’s goodness. Yes, He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever, but the New Covenant changes everything!

Dennis recently asked his mother why she believes Jesus is the one true way to God. Her answer: “I don’t know, I just always believed that way.”

Dennis was not satisfied with that answer, so he called in to our program to ask me the same question!

Why do I believe Jesus is the one true way to God? Why do I believe Christianity is the truth when there are so many religions in the world?

In this episode, I offer Dennis my thoughts. Enjoy!

The book of James tells us to “consider it all joy” when we encounter trials.

Anthony called in with back pain and Lymes disease, wondering how to apply this passage to his own life.

In this episode, I discuss how we can give thanks in the midst of horrible circumstances, without faking it.

Hope this encourages you today!

We hear a lot about eternal rewards in Christian circles, but what does it actually mean to “store up treasures in Heaven”? Is it about snagging a bigger mansion or stacking up crowns, like a heavenly bling collection?

Jesus isn’t offering a Righteous Rewards Program in Matthew 6 – He’s inviting us to shift our focus from the earthly to the eternal perspective. (Remember: Treasures are discovered, not earned!) The Apostle Paul echoes this call, urging us to set our minds on things above, not on earthly things.

Forget about earning status or collecting extra rewards. In this video, I unpack the ultimate treasure Jesus is referencing, including the spiritual riches we possess right now. Click to watch and discover how embracing a heavenly perspective can change how you live today!

David has only been a believer for about one year. But already he has noticed all the different beliefs and opinions among Christians.

His question is: If the Holy Spirit is teaching every believer, why are there so many different (and opposing!) beliefs out there?

In this short clip, I offer David my thoughts.

In Revelation, there’s an admonition for Christians to remain focused and not lose their first love.

David from Florida called in about this expression. He had been told that not losing your first love means to “remain energized” and “stay 100% sold out” and make sure you’re always doing good works.

But the group that received this admonition from God was already busy standing up for truth and stomping out evil doctrines!

So in this clip, I share with David what it really means to remain focused on our first love, Jesus.

Enjoy!

Ever been told you need to try harder to be like Jesus? It’s easy to get swept up in the hustle for cleaner living and better behavior, thinking it’ll boost your standing with God.

But striving to be more like Jesus suggests you’re not already like Him. If you’re always trying to become something you’re not, you’ll never arrive. What if true growth is about realizing you’re already like Jesus?

In this episode, I dive into how embracing your identity in Christ liberates you to live from your new tendency and trend. Check it out and discover that a believer’s default setting isn’t sin – it’s righteousness!

Jack from Grand Rapids, Michigan called in to ask about this challenging New Testament passage:

“For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband.” (1 Corinthians 7:14)

Is a husband automatically saved because of his wife’s faith? Or vice versa? This was Jack’s question, and in this episode, I address this difficult passage to get at the heart of the Gospel message and the Apostle Paul’s true meaning here.

Leonard called to ask about this challenging passage in Romans:

“What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction?” (Romans 9:22)

Is this just a hypothetical? Who are the “vessels of wrath”? Does Romans 9 somehow support the idea of an irresistible calling by God to salvation for select individuals? Do others have no hope?

In this episode, I address Leonard’s concerns and discuss the true meaning of Romans 9 in context. So if you have ever wondered about this passage, I hope this short clip is both encouraging and clarifying!

Have you ever been told you need to “surrender” to become more useful to God? To some of us, “surrender” almost sounds like we’re criminals or in an opposing army, right?

It’s time to challenge this made-up jargon and see it for what it is – unhealthy and sometimes even abusive. The New Testament never mentions surrendering to God. Instead, we simply present ourselves and our bodies to Him. Yes, We’re on the same team!

Plus, God isn’t tearing you down to make you more useful; He’s building you up in Christ! You’re His child, and you don’t need to be “crushed” or be more “sold out” to express Jesus.

Check out this episode and discover the healthy place you can enjoy in God’s family and what it means to be secure and complete in Christ!

Romans 12:2 describes a transformation that occurs in our lives as our minds are renewed:

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2

So how does this “mind renewal” actually happen? Matt called in to our radio program to ask about the role of faith and to understand this process of mind renewal better.

Here’s what I shared with Matt. Enjoy!

Chris is frustrated with his own performance. Chris knows he is a believer, but he’s just tired of sinning.

So he called in to our radio program to ask about his ongoing struggle and the way forward.

There’s a false idea in the religious world that a Christian is guaranteed health and wealth. Have you ever heard this prosperity gospel pitch, where God’s a divine slot machine, and with enough faith, you hit the jackpot?

To put it simply, that’s not the Gospel. Unlocking some secret potential, cushier circumstances, or easier living through more faith isn’t found in the New Testament.

In this episode, I dive into what the real Gospel says about contentment and how it contrasts with these distracting messages. Click through to watch and discover why Jesus is your true source of strength, regardless of your circumstances!

“Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.”
Ephesians 6:18

“building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit.” Jude 1:20

Pray in the Spirit? What does that mean? How do we do it?

This was Jonathan’s question when he called in to our radio broadcast.

In this episode I discuss the true meaning of “praying in the Spirit.”

Helen was taught that she no longer needs mind renewal because she has the mind of Christ.

We do have the mind of Christ. But the Bible also tells us that our mind is constantly being renewed. So how do these two ideas fit together?

In this episode, I address Helen’s confusion and clarify what’s going on as we learn and grow in Christ.

Everyone loves to hear that God is gracious and kind, but there’s so much more to grace than feel-good generalities. Ever wondered how to explain what makes God’s grace and the New Covenant so incredible?

Warning: Diving deeper into the love and grace of God can ruffle some feathers. Grace can feel dangerous – even offensive – to some. But when we grasp our once-for-all forgiveness, freedom from the Law (yes, even the Ten Commandments!), and trust Jesus for our morality, grace becomes more than just a buzzword. It’s a life-changing reality!

Check out this episode and learn more about a grace that truly matters!

If Old Testament worshipers had the benefit of a once-for-all sacrifice, they would have no longer had consciousness of their sins:

”Otherwise, would [the sacrifices] not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins?” —Hebrews 10:2

Robert called in to ask what it means to not have consciousness of sins and how we get to that place. In this episode, I share my thoughts.

Through our ministry, Carrie is learning a lot about God’s grace and her new identity in Christ. But in the process, she’s encountering popular teachings that now stand out as questionable. So she called in to our radio program to share her concerns.

In this episode, I address what Carrie has been reading lately about God's forgiveness and answer these important questions:

• Do we have to wonder if our heart is repentant enough?
• Does God only forgive us when we are able to stop a sin?
• Do we have to "go to God" and "move into" His forgiveness?
• How would we know when we've moved into it?

Many people wonder if their past mistakes are too much for God to handle. A recent caller shared his struggle with finding peace because of past sins, and I had some thoughts to share. Is it the size of your sins or the size of your Savior that truly matters?

Romans 5 assures us we have peace with God through Jesus Christ. Yet, we often wrestle with the notion that our sins are deal-breakers. But here’s the truth: God isn’t keeping score. His love is ginormous, and His grace is inexhaustible. So, what’s the real issue? Maybe it’s time to stop obsessing over your sins and start embracing the incredible love and grace of God.

Curious about how God truly sees you? Click through to watch this episode and discover a love that’s bigger than your past!
