Your walk with God is worth fighting for. 

Or at least Scripture says we should think so. The little epistle of Jude begins by urging us to “contend earnestly” for the faith. What does that mean? 

And what does it mean for us right now? 

In this episode of ​Live the Bible​, we’re digging into Jude’s letter to find out two key steps we can apply today.

Who in your life has set a bad example? 

Perhaps you had a parent who disciplined out of anger. Or a pastor who wielded his Bible like a club. Or a boss who abused his or her power. It’s easy to dismiss such lousy leadership as incompetence, but Scripture says we can learn a lot from a bad example!

In this episode of ​Live the Bible​, we’re turning to the book of 3 John to find out what those lessons are. They’re helpful ones we can all use—and apply—right away.

We love to hear the Beatles croon, “All you need is love.” 

And that sounds pretty basic to most of us. But—what is love? And what does it mean to love others? 

In this episode of ​Live the Bible​, we’ll open the seldom-seen book of 2 John, where God tells us exactly what love is—and why it must be joined with truth.

Love and truth. We need them both.

There’s something inside us that hungers for resolution. 

We crave songs with the perfect last note and movies with the right ending. We need loose ends tied and conflicts resolved. And yet, we live in a world that’s unresolved.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re looking to the book of 1 John for how to deal with that tension.

It’s a simple—but powerful—solution that will bring lasting peace.

Surrender seems easy, until it costs you something.

In this episode of ​Live the Bible​, we continue our journey through the life of Joseph by exploring how to let go of what you think you need in order to trust God with what He knows you need.

What if the season that feels like loss is actually God’s process of preparation?

In this episode of ​Live the Bible​, we continue our series on waiting on God by following Joseph into Egypt—a place of uncertainty, testing, and transformation.

Joseph had already received a promise from God. But before that promise could be fulfilled, his character had to be refined.

If you’re in a season where it feels like more is being taken away than given…where life feels like a series of setbacks rather than steps forward…this message will be a helpful reframe.

What may look like an unjust setback could actually be part of God’s plan for your progress. The real question is: what is God producing in you right now?

What do you do when the life God promised looks nothing like the life you’re living?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we begin a special five-part series on waiting on God through the life of Joseph. At just 17 years old, Joseph received a dream from God about his future—only to be betrayed by his own family and sold into slavery shortly after.

It raises a question many of us quietly wrestle with: Did God forget His promise? If not, then what's going on?

If you’ve ever felt stuck between what God said and what you’re experiencing, between hope and disappointment, this episode will meet you right there.

It’s exhausting!

Do you know those essentials?
