Ed Stetzer Live

We as believers are given gifts from God to share in our communities. But many of us have a difficult time deciphering what God's vision is for our lives. Will Mancini works with church leadership to help believers find their calling. I'll talk with him about God's unique design for each of us and its impact on the church.

As believers, we try hard to live the Christian life, doing good works, sharing the gospel and maintaining a moral code. But sometimes the list of do's and don'ts can feel exhausting and overwhelming. In examining Jesus' life in the gospels, Las Vegas Pastor Vance Pitman says he's found some spiritual truths that have set him free from some of his burdens... and helped him rediscover the joy of the love relationship that Jesus provides.

In the culture, we set our hopes on technology, politics and the hope of peace.  But as technology traps and isolates us and politics divide us, people can feel increasingly distressed.  Pastor Mark Sayers says throughout history, these periods of decline usually precede powerful spiritual renewal and even revival.  Ed Stetzer talks with him about how the bad news in the world may actually be good news for the church.

It's easy to get wrapped up in a flurry of Christmas activities this time of year.... forgetting Jesus, who is at the center of it all.  But author Daniel Darling talks with Ed Stetzer about the real life people in the Christmas story, from the angels and shepherds to Herod and Jesus himself.  He says digging into the Christmas story with fresh eyes during this time of year,  can help reveal truths from their lives that impact us today.

How can we know if Jesus actually lived? What proof do we have of his life on earth? Respected journalist John Dickerson set out to find the answers from artifacts. He'll talk with Ed Stetzer about the evidence he's found that can give answers to skeptics, seekers and believers.

We all need more energy to stay focused.... and not just healthy food and exercise for our bodies. To remain positive and productive, we also need emotional energy. Ed Stetzer talks with Dr. John Townsend, co-author of the best-selling Boundaries books, on how to surround yourself with the right kinds of relationships that build us up and refuel us, to continue God's work.

The holidays are here and most of us celebrate them around a table with food.  So how do we turn our celebration into an invitation to enjoy all of God's bounty?  From the careful design of the food He's made for us to the design He has for our lives?  Margaret Feinberg talks with Ed Stetzer about how God is the ultimate "foodie" and how we can use these celebrations bless us with His bounty and help us share Christ's love with others.

As believers, we're often confronted by questions like, why does God allow suffering? Is there a heaven and a hell? And why do Christians believe their faith is the one true faith? David Platt took a trip through the Himalayas and came face to face with severe poverty and some of these questions. E Stetzer  talks with him about what it means to give your life for the gospel and stop talking about faith and really begin living it.

As Jesus walked the earth, he told his followers how Scripture foretold his coming. Yet so often today we’re not always quite sure how to talk about Jesus in the Old Testament. Moody Professor of Jewish Studies Dr. Michael Rydelnik talks with Ed Stetzer about messianic prophecy and its theological implications.

As believers, we want to go out and share the gospel with the people we know, who don't know Christ. But how do we encourage other believers and disciple them to be even more effective in this work? Navigators Nations Sphere Field Director Brad Jonswold talks with Ed Stetzer about the mission of helping others live more like Christ by praying with them, spending time in His Word and walking alongside them in everyday life.
