Anger is something every Christian wrestles with — but what do we do with it? In this episode of Fixed On Jesus, Rich and Mark respond to a listener’s questions about righteous anger versus sinful anger, whether anger can ever be healthy, and how followers of Jesus can process strong emotions in a God-honoring way.

We explore Scripture, discuss anger as a signal rather than something to suppress, and consider how God uses rightly-directed anger to protect and love others. Join the conversation as we unpack what faithful emotional discipleship looks like.

In this episode of Fixed On Jesus, Rich and Mark dive deep into the question: Who are God’s people?

Using passages like Ephesians 2, Acts 22, Isaiah 53, Galatians 3, and Romans 11, we explore how Scripture reveals God forming one unified people through faith in Jesus—both Jew and Gentile alike.

We discuss misconceptions, the story of Israel, the meaning of being “grafted in,” and how the gospel brings all believers into one Kingdom, one family, one Savior.

If you’re wrestling with questions about Israel, the church, and what it means to belong to God, this episode will encourage and challenge you.

What exactly is Penal Substitutionary Atonement, and why does it matter for Christians today?

In this episode of Fixed On Jesus, Rich and Mark unpack one of the most debated doctrines in theology—why Jesus had to die, why He had to rise, and what His sacrifice truly accomplished.

We address common misconceptions about PSA, explore the biblical foundation behind Jesus dying in our place, and discuss why a right understanding of the cross shapes how we view God, sin, justice, and grace.

If you’ve ever wondered “Did Jesus really take my place?” or “Why was the cross necessary?” this conversation is for you.
