There’s no way to navigate from here to heaven without going through Jesus Christ. Dr. Tony Evans explains why grace is the road that gets us there—and why trying to earn what God freely gives only leads us the wrong direction.
When life’s storms and obstacles threaten to make you give up, remember: the race is not run alone, and perseverance with help from others can carry you past even the toughest reefs.
A pastor, a drug dealer, a dark alley—and a moment that proved no one is beyond the reach of God’s love.
Even the most loving families can struggle to truly hear one another. In today’s episode, Mark sits down with two Heartlight teens who share their experiences with communication breakdowns at home. For Tucker, clashing with his mom over identity and expectations made it feel impossible to bridge the gap between who he is and who she wants him to be. Tune in as both teens reflect on how the inability to talk openly with parents shaped their journeys, and how rebuilding honest, accepting communication is often the first step toward healing.
