If God is all-powerful, why let the Enemy continue to torment believers on earth? Shouldn’t be just be done with him so we can enjoy heaven sooner?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek seek to answer a listener question regarding the existence of Satan and why he is still allowed to have dominion on this earth. Satan has brought so much evil and pain to our earth, so why would God still allow him to exist? We break down God’s timing vs. our timing, Satan’s limitations, and God’s ultimate plan to explain (at least in part) why God still allows Satan to exist. We hope you enjoy this episode and that it when encourage you to trust Jesus and place your faith in Him!

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek seek to answer a listener question regarding some of the confusion around the book of Revelation, specifically regarding the beasts mentioned and the Mark that comes as a result.

Are the 10 Commandments all that really matter? Do they even matter for us now that we are under grace as believers? What happens if we break them?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek seek to answer a listener question by reading through the 10 Commandments and looking at the consequences of not abiding by them. From there, we break down how Christians living under the law of grace ought to view the commandments of God. Are Old Testament laws obsolete now that we have Jesus? Listen in to find out!

Where did the false gods of the Bible even come from? Who invented them and why does it matter? Do they have any power?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek seek to answer a listener question by looking at the history of most of the false gods mentioned in the Bible. In this episode, we find an interesting origin for each of them that stems back to one chapter in Scripture. We also dig through Scriptures to see how Satan works through these false gods to give them power, which is why we as believers need to be careful when it comes to “signs and wonders.” We hope that as you listen, you can see that the God of the Bible is the only actual God in the universe and has power to overcome any kind of evil!

Public, Private, or Homeschool? Which one is the right choice? Are any of them wrong?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek seek to answer the question of whether or not Christians should send their children to public school. We’ve heard of some of the agendas being pushed in public schools, but how much validity is there to those claims? Shouldn’t Christian kids go to public school so they can be light to others around them? Tune in as we look through the history of education in America, the current state of the education system, and Scripture that speaks to the idea of educating children to see what kinds of things Christians ought to consider when sending their kids to any kind of school.

If Christians are supposed to store up treasures in heaven, is saving for retirement acceptable? Is it wise to save for something we might never see?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek has on guest, Jordan Rossler, to talk through the concept of retirement and what it means for the believer. We look at some different Scriptures that talk about money and how we ought to handle it and the ways that Christian’s can reconcile that with saving for retirement.

Can some people have more treasures in heaven than others? How is it perfect if its a different experience for some based on actions here on earth? Does this mean we can lose treasures in heaven?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek follow up on a question about gaining inheritance in heaven by talking through the concept of storing up treasures in heaven and what that actually looks like. We don’t know a ton about heaven, but we think it’s worth exploring what the Scriptures do tell us about heaven and the impact that our conduct on Earth has to it!

Are the kingdom of God and heaven the same thing? Does it equate to salvation? If we are saved by grace, how do we reconcile Scriptures that say some types of sins will leave us without a pass into the kingdom of God?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek answer a listener question by talking through what exactly the Kingdom of God is. We dig through Old and New Testament Scriptures to see all the different ways the kingdom of God is described and the hope we can have in it as believers!

Are you a racist if you have the wrong stance on Affirmative Action? What exactly is it anyways and how should Christians view this topic?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through Affirmative Action based on a recent Supreme Court case to help Christians navigate through what exactly Affirmative Action is, why it started, the ramifications of it, and, most importantly, what the Bible has to say about it. The idea of partiality is mentioned often in the Bible and our hope is to help you get a grasp on a biblical view of this idea rather than following with the cultural trend of our nation.
