Isaiah 13:10, 34:4 - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+13%3A10%2C+34%3A4&version=NIV

Chad Roberts, author of "Blind Faith," returns to talk about losing his sight, the loss he suffered, and how God has blessed him amid the blindness.  There's a lot he doesn't see.  But, often what we see causes us to stumble.  How can we really see what we can't see?  Robert Dayton, author of "100X Life," talks about our cross-training:  deny ourselves, sacrificing ourselves for the greater goal of following Jesus and His ways.  He also addresses the hard, but necessary, call to forgive those who hurt you.

Do you know God as a loving dad? One who always wants to see you, always wants to hear from you, and always wants to be with you?

If you answered no, you’re not alone. For a myriad of reasons, many of us struggle to relate to Him as father, but He’s still waiting for you with open arms. His love for us is secure, unmoving and forever, light years better than even the best dad we can imagine.

In this message, Francis shares the unique blessing God has for each one of us as His sons and daughters, the boldness with which we can come to Him for grace, and the genuine delight He takes in our every step toward Him.

When we show up to His throne room with expectation, we can find mercy, rest in His unearned but ever-present love, encounter His tender affection for us, and be filled with the security of knowing He is for us.

Security analyst Elizabeth Neumann, author of "Kingdom of Rage," addresses issues around sleeper cells and other threats in the US, especially in light of the current military conflict with Iran.  She also addresses the "true crime community" subculture, an online fandom around killers and mass shooters.  It's an offshoot of violent nihilistic extremism.  It often targets youths and can radicalize them toward violent behavior.  James Barnett, CEO of the Come and See Foundation, talks about the TV series "The Chosen" and how it broke the record for the most translated series in history.

Our version of reality is shaped by what we know—and what we only think we know. Dr. Tony Evans explains what it really means to be free and how truth is the key to experiencing that freedom.

What do you do when you’ve prayed, waited, believed—and nothing seems to change? In seasons of delay, disappointment, and silence, it can be tempting to lose heart or take matters into your own hands. But God is still at work, even in the waiting.

In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks Luke 1:1–25 and the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth and reveal how faith, hope, and trust are formed in the space between God’s promise and its fulfillment. This message will encourage you to keep believing that even when God seems silent, He is not absent—His timing is always purposeful. You’ll be reminded that your waiting is not wasted, your prayers have been heard, and your God still does the impossible.

✨If you ever asked questions like…

● Why does God seem silent when I’m praying so hard?

● What do I do when I feel disappointed by delay?

● Is God still working even when I can’t see anything changing?

You’ll learn:

● How to trust God’s timing when life doesn’t unfold on your schedule

● Why God’s silence never means His absence

● How to keep your faith strong while waiting for God’s promises
