Today’s episode — “As Far as It Depends on You” — is a challenge from the Apostle Paul that feels almost impossible in our world today. We live in a culture of outrage, division, and noise. Everyone’s shouting — but few...

Because what happened back then — is happening again. The same pressure to bow. The same attempt to silence faith. The same call to compromise what’s holy.

And today, I want to call you into something ancient — something burning, holy, and alive. Something forged long before modern man began measuring time by clocks and calendars. We’re talking about the rhythm of heaven...

The world around us urges us to “find our tribe” — to gather with those who understand us, who think like we do, who affirm who we are. And that longing is real. But have you ever wondered why we long for it so deeply?...

Crusaders I am so sorry for the volume issue in this episode of my #1 Grandson. After the first five minutes I went old school and used my speaker on my phone holding it up to the mic, and that helped. I am proud of...

Today’s episode is called “Iron Sharpens Iron — Challenge Accepted.” That comes from Proverbs 27:17 (NASB): “Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” It’s a simple verse — short enough to memorize in a breath...

Today’s episode 129 is titled ‘Resist the Life of Ease.’ Our age tempts us to choose comfort, convenience, and passivity over endurance, diligence, and courage. But the Scriptures call us to something higher — to share...

Our forty years of experience in marriage with some practical do's and don'ts. Ya, some are pretty simple, but hey, I'm a slow learner!

We live in a time when believers are tempted to shrink back. But Scripture calls us to stand up, armor up, and fight the good fight. Paul tells Timothy: “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life...

“Revival without the Bible is not revival. Emotion without repentance is not conversion. Church without Christ crucified is not the Church. Be alert, test everything against the Word, and cling to Christ alone.”

God created us for Eden — fellowship with Him.• Sin cast us out of Eden, separating us from life. God began pointing us toward restoration through covenant promises. The Passover showed deliverance through the blood of...

Today’s episode is one that’s been on my heart for a while. We’re going to talk about the story of Israel — a people rescued from bondage, brought through the wilderness, and called to be a nation set apart for God’s...
