Michael Easley inContext

Michael Easley talks with Bill and Dana Wichterman about their book, Stewards Not Owners: The Joy of Aligning Your Money with Your Faith, emphasizing that we are stewards, not owners, of our resources. They discuss topics like generosity, financial dynamics in marriage, and aligning investments with faith, while also addressing the dangers of comparison and the importance of accountability. The conversation offers practical steps for stewardship, encouraging transparency, trust in God, and a rethinking of retirement and purpose.

Michael Easley and Darren Tyler explore the recent surge in Bible sales, particularly among younger generations, and the cultural influences driving this trend. They discuss the impact of figures like Jordan Peterson on young men's search for truth and the importance of courage in pastoral leadership. The conversation also delves into the role of technology in Bible engagement and the enduring significance of physical Bibles in a digital age. Ultimately, they reflect on the competition for the hearts and minds of youth in a rapidly changing cultural landscape. In this conversation, Darren Tyler discusses the pressing need for spiritual leaders to provide truth in a world filled with misinformation. He emphasizes the importance of deep biblical teaching for youth, the relevance of physical Bible engagement, and the necessity of clear communication of the gospel in a hostile environment. The dialogue explores the need for a bold stance on biblical truth.

1 in 4 people in the United States lives with a disability, yet many of our churches don't resemble this reality. Attempts to welcome those with a disability are often implemented by well-meaning but ill-informed people. The results can lead to those with disabilities feeling excluded and isolated from the family of God. Dr. Paul Pettit and Jason Epps give eyes to the able-bodied to see the challenges experienced by those with disabilities.
