Segment 1

• Why Peter’s command to “be holy” feels crushing—and why that reaction might expose a deeper misunderstanding.

• Holiness reframed: not a killjoy command, but the pathway to joy, assurance, and deep fellowship with God.

• The real choice behind every temptation: fleeting pleasure… or lasting peace?

Segment 2

• Sin’s marketing strategy: it whispers fulfillment but delivers regret, secrecy, and spiritual paralysis.

• Practical holiness: the direct connection between obedience and clear conscience, bold prayer, and usefulness.

• Want discernment, victory over temptation, and spiritual confidence? There’s only one route.

Segment 3

• Troubled by sermons on “signs you’re not saved”? Why that anxiety may actually be evidence of life.

• The better diagnostic question: not “Am I perfect?” but “Do I desire to obey?”

• Identity in Christ: why remembering who you are matters more than grading your performance.

Segment 4

• $750,000 fines for saying there are two genders—what’s really happening beneath the headlines?

• When depraved thinking becomes law: why the real crisis isn’t political but spiritual.

• The only lasting solution to moral chaos isn’t outrage—it’s regeneration.

Matthew 6:11 states, “Give us this day our daily bread.” Those seven words from the Lord’s Prayer are so familiar that we can miss how radical they are. When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He invited them to trust God for provision not all at once, but one day at a time. On the next Faith & Finance Live, Rob West describes what it means to trust God for daily bread in a world obsessed with tomorrow. Then, it’s on to your calls. That’s Faith & Finance Live, where biblical wisdom meets today’s finances—weekdays at 4pm Eastern/3pm Central on Moody Radio.

Listen to today's Laugh Again with Phil Callaway, "Fish Tales." Enjoy!

Paul is in prison — but who really put him there? In this introduction to the final four chapters of Acts, Dr. John explores how God's providence works through injustice, inconvenience, and interrupted plans. From Paul's unjust imprisonment in Caesarea to Luther translating the Bible in a castle basement, discover how our greatest setbacks can become our greatest assignments — and what it means to call yourself a prisoner of Christ Jesus.

Jesus Goes Global: A Prisoner of Christ: When we read the book of Acts, we tend to give primary attention to the formation and growth of the Church in the early chapters. We then highlight the three mission trips of Paul. But some of the most profound lessons lie in the final chapters of Acts 25-28. Dr. John will show God extending His Kingdom through the personal struggle and imprisonment of Paul. The world’s worst cannot impede God’s best.

Ian Rowe is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he focuses on education and upward mobility, family formation, and adoption. He'll share how Christians can impact the culture for Christ on racial issues and find common sense solutions in education for the sake of American children. He'll also share part of his Four Point Plan (F.R.E.E.) for all children to overcome the victimhood narrative and discover their pathway to power.
