November 23, 2023 03:00 - 18 minutes - 17.9 MB“Why can’t I stop doing what I know as a follower of Jesus that I shouldn’t be doing? Why are so many of us unable to control what we so naively thought we could? Here’s a thought: what if we fail in controlling our sexual sin not because we can’t control it, but because we like it? What if the reason we keep going back to the place that we hate and do the things we abhor is that deep down, doing what we hate makes us feel better about what our deeper problem is? What if we’re just going ...

I am confident because He is faithful [THE CONFIDENCE SERIES #3]
September 21, 2023 02:00 - 38 minutes - 32.1 MBOne of the greatest battles we encounter as followers of Christ is the struggle against unbelief. When our prayers go seemingly answered, when we don’t see the results we hoped for, when life hurls one curveball after another, we’re tempted to succumb to fear, disappointment, and to forget who is on our side. In Hebrews chapter 3, the author is making a point that one of the most effective ways to fight unbelief is to consider Jesus, to think carefully about Him (Hebrews 3:1). By consideri...

September 14, 2023 02:00 - 39 minutes - 33.5 MBToday we’re continuing The Confidence Series with a look at Hebrews chapter 2 where we will recognize another reason we can be confident: because God is in control. Much like us today, the early Christian believers were living in tumultuous times.

In this context, the author of Hebrews reminds them, and us, that even when things look messy, when life is ...

July 27, 2023 02:00 - 37 minutes - 31 MBLife often presents us with trials, doubts, and circumstances that challenge the very core of our beliefs. In these moments, it's natural to question if our faith truly holds any weight.

July 20, 2023 02:00 - 34 minutes - 28.3 MBWhat’s your relationship with failure like? Where do you see yourself as a failure and how have you responded to that failure? John 21 is one of my favorite stories in the Bible. Here we encounter how Jesus responded to Peter after what was probably his biggest failure yet – the denial of Jesus before His crucifixion. Instead of scolding him, Jesus loves him and points him to his purpose and calling. I believe today’s podcast will bring you hope and remind you that your failure is not t...

June 29, 2023 02:30 - 34 minutes - 28.9 MBHave you ever placed your trust in God, hoping for a positive outcome, only to feel let down? In Matthew 11, John the Baptist’s story looked like it ended badly from a human perspective. Here was an individual whom Jesus considered to be the greatest among all men (Mat. 11:11) stuck in prison, hoping to be delivered, only to be beheaded instead. From the viewpoint of God, John's final outcome was intricately designed with divine purpose, his life was profoundly meaningful, and his calling ...

Unshaken faith when the outcome looks iffy at best [UNSHAKEN 23]
June 15, 2023 02:00 - 32 minutes - 26.5 MBSometimes we don’t know how things are going to turn out in our life. In Daniel 3 we encounter three men—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—facing a situation where their fate hangs precariously between potential salvation and possible demise. Regardless of the outcome, will they remain obedient to God? When we find ourselves in that space where the outcome looks “iffy” at best, God is asking us to make certain decisions that will allow us to stand unshaken in our faith, knowing that obedienc...
Unshaken faith when it’s easier to fit in [UNSHAKEN 22]
June 08, 2023 02:00 - 37 minutes - 31.4 MBBeing a Christian will inevitably create some dissonance with our culture and pressure to fit in. What do we do when we’re asked to say and do things that are contrary to the guidelines of Scripture? Will we choose what’s popular or what’s true? Will we choose temporary comfort or eternal joy? Will we choose pleasing man or pleasing God? In today’s podcast we'll look at Daniel chapter 1 and learn from this man what it means to obey God in a shifting culture when it's easier to blend in. A...
Unshaken faith when all my hope is lost [UNSHAKEN 21]

In Lamentations 3 we find a powerful example of a man who had all the reasons to despair and yet proclaimed “‘The Lord is my portion’, says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in him’” (v. 24). Take a listen to today’s podcast and see how God’s goodness is being made manifest in ...
Unshaken faith when I’m alone in my pain [UNSHAKEN 20]
May 25, 2023 02:30 - 32 minutes - 26.7 MBAs we look at a man accustomed with pain and loneliness in today’s podcast, I believe our perspective on the difficult seasons of our life will change. Job’s response to the pain in his life will encourage us to look at our difficult circumstances through the lens of who God is and see that the best days are yet to come because we serve a God who is good, faithful, who sets the seasons of our life and who appoints that which concerns us. May we, like Job, declare in the midst of our pain t...
Unshaken faith when my dreams feel too big [UNSHAKEN 19]
May 18, 2023 02:00 - 36 minutes - 30.7 MBDo you have a God-given dream? Why does God take His time to fulfill the dream He’s put on your heart? Why does your dream bring with it deep opposition?

Do you struggle to believe that God is good when you can’t see Him clearly at work in your life? The way we respond to the battles we’re facing is often influenced by what we choose to focus on. Do we look at the obvious enemy or at the spiritual reality of who is with us? Do we fix our eyes on what is visible or on God and His promises, no matter how things look on the o...
Unshaken faith when I desperately need a miracle [UNSHAKEN 17]
May 04, 2023 02:00 - 25 minutes - 21.6 MBWhile we might not like to be in need and unable to fix our problems, it is in those moments that if we turn to God, He can come through and do what only He can do. I believe we all have areas in our life where we desperately need a miracle. In 2 Kings 4:1-7 we encounter a widow who knew that her only chance to get out of her difficult circumstance was a miracle. This episode will show us why and how she was able to experience God at work in a powerful way. I hope this podcast will remind ...

April 06, 2023 03:00 - 31 minutes - 26.8 MBWe all face overwhelming circumstances in our life that make us feel afraid, trapped, helpless, uncertain if we can make it much longer. Do you feel like your problems are bigger than your abilities? Does it seem like your enemies are stronger than your allies? Are your emotions heavier that you can process?
