29:36

Many have seen the attempt on former President Donald J. Trump's life as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy, while others believe it is to bring forth freedom to America.

Katy Perry, The Divine Feminine And The Devil 29:57

29:57

Katy Perry has a new single titled "Women's World" where she tells men that they are lucky to even be able to live in this women's world. Many are wondering why she would team up with a man Dr. Luke who has been accused by artists of taking advantage of women.

Friends, there’s something Hemingway-esque about Mark’s Gospel—something very direct and uncomplicated.

Peace in the Storm 14:15

Friends, our Gospel for today is Mark’s account of the stilling of the sea. We know the basic structure of the story: Jesus is in the boat with the disciples; when a storm kicks up, he’s asleep in the stern. The disciples are panicking and wake Jesus up, and once he’s awakened, he calms the storm. Then he says, “Do you not yet have faith?” What I'm…

See Things Differently 14:23

1M ago14:23

14:23

Friends, people of faith just see things differently. They see what the nonbeliever sees—they read history and watch the news and see what’s going on in the world—but they see more than that. They see the world according to God’s plans and purposes—an ample and even peculiar vision that can often make spiritual people seem a little crazy. All three…
