In this episode, we explore why the Old Testament still matters and how it shapes our faith today. We’ll explain how the problem isn’t with the Scriptures themselves, but with how we interpret and apply them. While the Old Covenant is obsolete, the Old Testament remains essential for understanding God’s wisdom and truth. This doesn't change the fac…

God has a good plan for your life and you can know what it is. You can enjoy the same fellowship with the Father as Jesus did and know the timing, location, …

In the Hebrew language, the word prayer is about judgment. Jesus and Paul both taught, we would one day sit on thrones and administer judgment. Paul goes on to teach us, that's not only a future event, but a present reality for the believer. Practically speaking, prayer is where we partner with God and harmonize our lives with His will. We accompli…

Many believers think right about God and His Word, but not about themselves. The number one reason for unanswered prayer is the believer disqualifying themselves due to an ungodly judgment. We need to go beyond a doctrine of righteousness to a place where we have an image of righteousness developed on our heart. Prayer should be a positive experien…

It is pretty safe to say that everyone would like to see success in their lives.

It seems like you can't turn around without seeing another company declare their allegiance to the cultural ideology of the day. Abortion rights, gay pride, transgender equality, pronoun usage, diversity, equity, inclusion, and the list goes on and on. Well, it seems that every movement has a counter-movement not far behind. As the old saying goes,…

Pride is all around us. Everywhere you turn, someone seems to be touting themselves and how right they are about something. This is nothing new, of course. From the very beginning, man has wanted to be right and be proud of it. But what happens when a person or a group of people want to use a Biblical symbol of God's kindness as the banner of their…

If you ask most any Christian, they would likely say that they would like to live their life in God's will. Among other things, this could include doing what God wants with their life, marrying the person God would choose for them, having the career God has designed for them, raising their children in the kind of home He would want, and so much mor…

Remember that old song from your childhood? "I don't wanna grow up... I'm a Toys R' Us kid!" I think we can all relate to a certain extent. How about you? Do you want to grow up?

In life, there are few things as prevalent as the need to make choices. You can go an entire day without eating. You can go all day long and not speak to a single person. There are many things that you can abstain from for weeks or months on end, but you cannot escape the need to make choices in life. In fact, you are making these choices more ofte…

"You need to get right with God." Have you ever heard that one before? What if I told you that advice might not be all it's cracked up to be?

Join us today as Anthony welcomes our special guest, Chris Barhorst, to have an amazing discussion on the…

"You're done!" That's what so many people are hearing nowadays. In this age of political correctness, saying the wrong thing or taking the wrong stand can send you straight to the "public opinion dungeon."

What is influencing you? It may sound like a trivial question at first, but it is one that each of us must answer with honesty and regularity. Since the dawn of time, men and women have had to make a choice as to what they would allow to influence them. However, more recently, this has become quite the full-time job as, everywhere you look, there i…

Some people search for truth. They won't stop until they find it. They value it and don't want it to be distorted in their lives. Others have no clue what truth really is. "Well, that's just my truth!" Have you ever heard that one? In today's society, truth has become so malleable that it can be changed in the blink of an eye. Or, so people may thi…

Has anyone ever told you that life isn't perfect? Of course we all know that, but sometimes Christians can fall into the trap of thinking that life will be trouble-free and easy once we say yes to Jesus. In fact, the opposite is true!

Have you ever thought about what true worship really is? If you are a Christian, you probably have an idea of what worship is. You at least have an image of what you have come to experience and know as worship. Maybe for you it is singing hymns with an organ playing softly.

John 3:16 is probably the most well-known verse in the entire Bible. It starts out by saying, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son..." What a tremendous truth that we can reflect on as believers. It is important, however, that we don't get so focused on how much He loved us that we forget that His love is always the same. …

Racism is such a tragic thread in the fabric of humanity. How did we get here?

Join us today as Anthony hosts Pasto…

It is the first of the year and New Year's resolutions are everywhere! New workout plans, skin care regimens, reading habits, people quitting smoking, relationship goals, and so much more.

"When you grow up, you can be anything that you want to be!" Sometimes, the things that we hear and believe in life sound so good right up until the point where we see something through a new lens.

Jesus is the reason for the season. You have probably heard that one before. During this Christmas season, so many people have their eyes on other aspects of the holidays.

We live in such an ungrateful society. Everywhere you turn, people are looking for, planning for, or scheming a way to get their next "thing." Cars, houses, clothes, purses, electronics, and more... it's ludicrous to think about how some people just cannot get enough. These people act so greedy for eleven months out of the year and then, like Super…
