How should we evaluate our pastors and church leaders in a godly way? Dr. John addresses the critical issue of unfair criticism toward Christian leaders through 1 Corinthians 4:1-5, where Paul faces harsh judgment from the Corinthian church. He explains that we should view leaders as servants of Christ and stewards of God's mysteries, evaluating them solely on their faithfulness to proclaim Scripture rather than on personal preferences or hidden motives we cannot truly know.

The Power of Christ in a Pagan World: Join Dr. John Neufeld for this 20-message series as he focuses on the book of 1 Corinthians. Covering chapters 1-4, The Power of Christ in a Pagan World looks at the many issues that confronted the church in Corinth; Problems that seemed to find their place within the church at every turn! This series helps us unpack the different conflicts and struggles of this early church in a relevant and practical way. Even though the church in Corinth existed a long time ago, they went through trials that might sound familiar to us in the 21st Century!

Have you ever faced an upcoming surgery—not just anxious about the procedure itself, but also wondering how you’ll cover the cost?

Imagine if someone stepped in to guide you through the process, coordinating the details and helping you navigate the expenses. Good news: that kind of support is available, and Lauren Gajdek is here to tell us all about it.

Lauren Gajdek is the Senior Director of External Affairs at Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM), an underwriter of Faith & Finance. 

As the nation’s longest-serving faith-based health cost-sharing ministry, CHM has helped Christian families with over $12 billion in medical bills over the past 40 years. CHM operates as a biblically based nonprofit organization, offering believers a unique way to meet healthcare needs—through the power of community, compassion, and cost-sharing.

At no additional cost to members, CHM has launched a groundbreaking program called the Complete Surgical Care Solution (CSCS). This service guides members through the entire process of having surgery or a medical procedure—from finding the right surgeon to managing paperwork and bills.

It’s a “curated experience” designed to walk alongside members during a challenging time. It's personalized, turnkey, and stress-free—requiring nothing more than active CHM membership.

Chloe is a teenage softball player who struggled with recurring hip and leg pain. When surgery was recommended, her family turned to CHM and its surgical solution program.

Through CHM’s help, Chloe was connected with a top-quality surgeon for a hip replacement. The ministry even covered some of the family’s travel expenses. Ultimately, CHM covered more than $145,000 in eligible medical bills. Plus, Chloe’s family received a $1,250 credit toward their out-of-pocket costs.

The family described the entire experience as feeling like they were “surrounded by family.” That’s the kind of ministry CHM strives to be.

The process is simple. Members need:

• A diagnosis from a healthcare provider
• A recommendation for surgery

If the procedure qualifies, members can reach out directly to CHM—and from there, the ministry handles the rest.

Whether you’re facing a surgery or seeking a faith-based alternative to traditional insurance, CHM offers compassionate, biblically grounded support every step of the way.

1 Timothy 2:8

In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy.

Questions

Prayer

We have all had days when anger, frustration, or even fear attacks out of nowhere. Have you ever been quick to assume that it is due to a lack of sleep, being hangry, or any other physical reason? Have you found yourself excusing the emotion because it just couldn't be helped?

Did you know that there can be demonic, non-physically related reasons that you feel emotions that throw off your day? It's true, there are many physical reasons that we encounter a plethora of emotions in a day, but it is not the only reason. Satan would like nothing more than to stir the atmosphere of your home, your job, etc., to pull your focus and attention elsewhere. God has a plan for each of our lives, and even our days, so if satan can throw us off our game, he will.

Our Father God has made provisions for us to stand against the attacks of the enemy. He has given us His Holy Word, Holy Spirit to guide us, and a direct line to Him through prayer. Listen in today as Tiffany Jo Baker discusses four ways that we can recognize the demonic attack, and the shift in the atmosphere, in addition to how to deal with it!

Listen in for:

•How to discern when a demonic attack has caused a shift in the atmosphere

•When unhealthy emotions are NOT physical

•Why satan attacks the atmosphere around us

•What we can do to fight satan and free ourselves from attacks

Favorite Scriptures:
