Can you remember the last time you went through a period of intense doubt? 

In this episode of “12 Truths & A Lie,” Pastor J.D. talks about the most famous doubter of all time—Thomas—and shows us how we can deal with our doubts. Many of us think that our doubts disqualify us spiritually. But doubt is like a raised foot: It can step backwards in unbelief, but it can also walk forward in faith.

You’ll learn what to do with your doubts, as well as what God says to you in the midst of your doubt. Like Thomas, you may not get all of your questions answered. But you may get something even better—a love too wonderful for words.

Do you ever feel stuck in your sin? Do you ever wish you were more able to kick old habits and overcome old temptations? 

In this episode of “12 Truths & A Lie,” Pastor J.D. walks us through the temptation of Jesus, showing us how Satan brings his battle against Jesus—and against us. He doesn’t begin where we might expect, enticing Jesus to do sinful things. He begins, instead, with identity. 

You’ll learn to spot the three traps Satan always uses, and you’ll hear about the one truth that enables you to withstand any attack.

Our final episode releases next Monday. It’s about doubt, and you won’t want to miss it!

Do you remember the first time someone had “the talk” with you? Chances are, they didn’t pick up their Bible to walk you through God’s view of sex.

In this episode of “12 Truths & A Lie,” Pastor J.D. walks through 1 Corinthians 6, showing us that sex is more than just biology, but a deeply spiritual reality. In our day, with so much confusion about sex, we need this teaching more than ever. 

You’ll learn how God designed sex, where our society gets sex wrong, and what we can do with our own sexual guilt and shame.

When was the last time you had a political discussion with another believer? (Did it go well?)

In this episode of “12 Truths & A Lie,” Pastor J.D. teaches about the four myths Americans believe about politics—myths that are just as active inside the church as outside it. These four myths tend to turn political discussions into raging arguments, so it’s important that we recognize them and learn to avoid them.

You’ll learn how to navigate political differences without compromising your convictions, setting your hope not on the stars and stripes of our flag, but in the scars and stripes of our Savior.

We’ll have a new episode next Monday—this time about sex (and you thought politics was controversial!). Subscribe now to be the first to listen!

If you had 10 minutes and a divine eraser, what do you think you’d remove from the Bible? If you’re like most people, you might erase the idea of hell.

In this episode of “12 Truths & A Lie,” Pastor J.D. shows us why it would be disastrous to remove hell from our Bibles. Hell may be a difficult doctrine to wrestle with, but when seen from God’s vantage point, it is essential to knowing, loving, and worshiping God. 

You’ll be challenged to see God’s wrath for what it is—an expression of his goodness, justice, patience, and love.

Episodes are released each Monday, and our next one is about politics. (Buckle up!) Subscribe now so you don’t miss it!

When you’re looking for God’s guidance in a situation, don’t you wish he would just write the answer out in the sky? Or, maybe, send you a personalized text message?

In this episode of “12 Truths & A Lie,” Pastor J.D. answers the question he gets more than any other: How can I know God’s will for my life? When faced with a tough life choice—about school, about work, about your relationships—many people are terrified they’ll somehow miss God’s will. 

But God’s will isn’t some mysterious target we’re aiming at in the dark. As you’ll learn in this episode, the more important question is not how God guides, but whom God guides.

Episodes release every Monday. Next up, we’re talking about anxiety. You won’t want to skip this one!

In this episode of “12 Truths & A Lie,” Pastor J.D. answers the sorts of questions most of us hope our non-Christian friends never ask. Questions like, “Doesn’t the Bible condone polygamy and slavery?” Or, “How could God have ordained all of these military conquests?”
