The Path That Steals Your Life
Todays episode is studying Proverbs 1:10-19 where we are taught not to follow along with, or walk in the paths and ways of the sinner. As Christians, we need to make sure we don’t fall back into sin. Instead, we need to walk in the ways of the LORD. In our world today, it’s easy to give into peer pressure, it’s easy to walk in the ways of the world. It takes self control and the LORD to make sure you stay on the right path.

Eternal God Sinful Man
In this episode, we study Psalm 90, the oldest Psalm, written by Moses. It’s a prayer, and we look at several key verses and discover that God is sovereign, man is sinful, we need to number our days and seek out the wisdom of God, and do the things God has called us to do, all the while pointing the way to Him. This is a hard look at concepts not taught much today.

Kept by Obedience
What does it really mean to keep the words of Jesus? In a world drawn to convenience, shortcuts, and selective obedience, Scripture calls us back to the simple but transformative truth: love for Christ is proven in the keeping of His Word. From Noah’s radical obedience in a corrupt generation to Abraham’s steps into the unknown, and to Jesus’ own teachings about abiding, this episode invites listeners to rediscover the blessing, intimacy, and power found in aligning our lives with the words of Christ.

Pray Like This Not Like That - Episode 2411
As we close our series on prayer, Jesus shows us the clearest contrast between the prayers God rejects and the prayers He receives. In Matthew 6, He exposes the empty, self-centered, performance-driven prayers that lead nowhere—and then gives us the pattern for prayer that moves heaven. In this episode, we will walk through practical examples of “wrong prayers” and compare them to the God-honoring posture modeled in the Lord’s Prayer. Silence becomes a teacher when it pushes us toward praying the way Jesus instructed.

Love That Looks Like Jesus - Episode 2407
In this episode, we explore the kind of love that Jesus calls His followers to embody—love that is visible, sacrificial, consistent, and rooted in obedience to Christ. Pulling from the teachings of Jesus, the apostles, and the early church, this message challenges every believer to examine whether their love merely lives in words or shines through action. True Christian love is not optional—it is the clearest evidence that we belong to Him.

When God Seems Distant - Episode 2401
When life gets hard, it can feel like God has stepped away. Elijah faced this reality as Israel fell deeper into sin under King Ahab and Jezebel’s influence. Yet even in a nation drowning in idolatry and personal heartbreak—like the death of the widow’s son—God was still near. This episode explores what happens when we feel distant from God, how our obedience or disobedience affects His presence in our lives, and how Christ reminds us that love and obedience go hand in hand.

It is an active, selfless compassion that mirrors the heart of God.

Called Not Qualified - Episode 2399
