In Episode 32 of the Chasing Assurance Podcast, Terry Peer and Dr. Terry L. Peer begin a powerful new series exploring the lives of the apostles of Jesus—starting with Andrew, the first disciple to follow Christ.

Andrew wasn’t a preacher in the spotlight.

He wasn’t the loudest voice or the most famous apostle.

But everywhere Andrew went, he brought people to Jesus.

From the banks of the Jordan River as a disciple of John the Baptist…

To introducing his brother Peter to Christ…

To bringing a boy with five loaves and two fish…

To ushering Greek seekers into the presence of Jesus…

Andrew’s life shows us that ordinary faithfulness can have eternal impact.

This episode also includes a Lester’s Feet Foundation update, sharing the story of Magnolia and how the foundation was able to provide a life-changing Rifton activity chair—made possible by generous supporters.

If you’ve ever felt unqualified, unsure, or overlooked in your faith—this episode is for you.

👉 Watch, listen, and be encouraged to simply do what Andrew did: introduce someone to Jesus.

This powerful conversation explores what happens when faith moves beyond the pulpit and into everyday life.

Together, they discuss:

- Why ministry doesn’t end when vocational preaching does

- How God opens doors through ordinary passions

- Feeding children physically while feeding adults spiritually

- The biblical foundation for service (Matthew 25, Ephesians 2, Acts 16)

Christmas was not an accident—it was a fulfillment of prophecy written hundreds, even thousands, of years before Jesus was born.

In this Christmas Eve special episode of Chasing Assurance, Terry Peer and Terry L. Peer walk through the biblical prophecies that foretold the birth, lineage, location, and mission of Jesus Christ.

Together, they explore:

Why Christmas is more than tradition—it’s divine fulfillment

How prophecy proves the Messiah was promised long before Bethlehem

Why belief in the virgin birth is foundational to Christian faith

How God’s attention to detail assures us He is still in control today

The reminder that Christmas is ultimately about God with us

This episode also includes a powerful Lester’s Feet Foundation update, sharing real stories of families facing medical hardship and how the body of Christ continues to step in and serve.

Why is prayer so hard—even for committed Christians?

In Episode 27 of the Chasing Assurance Podcast, Terry Peer and Terry L. Peer take an honest, pastoral look at why prayer is often one of the greatest struggles in the Christian life. Rather than offering another formula or checklist, this episode focuses on something deeper—learning to pray at all.

Together, they discuss:

Why prayer is a pure act of faith

How distractions, busyness, and lack of discipline derail prayer

Why unanswered or unexpected answers discourage believers

The battle between the flesh and the spirit

What Jesus meant when the disciples said, “Lord, teach us to pray”

How prayer connects directly to our assurance in Christ

This episode also features a Lester’s Feet Foundation story highlighting a 16-year-old battling advanced kidney disease, and a powerful encouragement to pause and truly pray—not just say we will.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged, distracted, or inadequate in your prayer life, this episode is for you. You are not alone—and God is still listening.

In Episode 26 of the Chasing Assurance Podcast, Terry and his dad, Terry L. Peer, conclude their 4-part series on Divorce, Remarriage, and Biblical Assurance.

Today’s conversation digs deep into what the apostles—especially Paul—actually taught about marriage, divorce, remarriage, and God’s grace in 1 Corinthians 7. This episode brings clarity to one of the most misunderstood topics in the church today.

You’ll hear:

• A review of the first three episodes in the series

• Why the early church struggled with the same issues Christians face today

• A walkthrough of every marriage category Paul addresses

• The truth about being “bound,” “unmarried,” or “released”

• What Scripture says about abused or abandoned spouses

• The assurance available to every believer—no matter their past

The takeaway? God never stops being God.

He is faithful, loving, and gracious—even when life doesn’t go the way we planned.

In this week’s episode of the Chasing Assurance Podcast, Terry Peer and Dr. Terry Peer walk through one of the most misunderstood and emotionally heavy topics in the church: What did Jesus actually say about divorce and remarriage?

This episode is part three of our multi-week series designed to bring clarity, hope, and biblical assurance to anyone who has walked through divorce, remarriage, or the confusion caused by long-standing church traditions.

Jesus addressed divorce in four different encounters —

👤 His teaching in the Sermon on the Mount

👤 His debate with the Pharisees in Matthew 19

👤 His compassionate conversation with the Samaritan woman

👤 His response to the woman caught in adultery

Each moment reveals a Savior who does not come to take sides…

He comes to take over — with truth AND grace.

If you’ve ever wrestled with guilt, shame, confusion, or conflicting messages from the church, this episode will help you:

✔ Understand Jesus’ actual words in context

✔ Untangle scripture from tradition

✔ See God’s heart for restoration

✔ Find assurance that grace is still available

If you’ve been through a divorce—or love someone who has—please hear this clearly: Study Guide Link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/d6tfucflgp3ql66vl1ekh/Study-Guide-Chasing-Assurance-24.pdf?rlkey=sp4tatmopcw0k7oi0djz51g48&dl=0 God hates divorce, but He does NOT hate the divorcee. For generations, the church has passed down narratives about divorce that did not come from Jesus, and in Episode 24 of the Chasing Assurance Podcast, Terry & Dr. Terry Peer unpack the actual history behind how those teachings developed. This episode is NOT about condoning divorce. It IS about ending shame, breaking unbiblical chains, and offering real assurance rooted in Scripture—not tradition. In this powerful installment of our divorce series, we walk through: ✅ How early church leaders added extra rules Jesus never taught ✅ Why many Christians still carry guilt that isn’t biblical ✅ The dangerous lie of “perpetual adultery” and where it really came from ✅ Why God STILL offers forgiveness, healing, and new beginnings ✅ How Jesus’ actual words bring hope—not hopelessness ✅ Why so many people were told “you can never serve again” (and why that’s wrong) If you’ve felt rejected, shamed, disqualified, or “less than” because of divorce, this episode will encourage your heart. You are not second class. You are not disqualified. You are loved by God—fully and completely. 📌 Episode Focus: The church history behind divorce teachings—and the compassion of Jesus that has always been available to every sinner, every struggler, and every hurting heart. 📌 Scripture: Genesis 2:18–24 📌 Next Week: What Jesus Himself actually said about marriage and divorce.

✔ Why God hates divorce — but does NOT hate the divorced

✔ How Malachi 2 reveals God’s bottom-line perspective

✔ Why divorce affects worship, family, and spiritual health
