What if DNA is not the end of the story? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week, Dr. Thomas Woodward explained how the discovery of the epigenome and its relation to DNA is rewriting our understanding of genetics and pointing a direct finger at an intelligent designer. We shared some concerns with parents about the encroachment of A.I. and socialist agendas into the American classroom. Respected scholar and teacher Dr. Michael Rydelnik was back to answer your questions about the rise of anti-Jewish hatred and why even the church is not immune to this evil. We examined what a life lived in thanksgiving really looks like and introduced you to the creative minds behind a new film about the life of Daniel. Between the rhetoric of an ongoing war and the continued efforts to undermine our nation from many sides, more than ever believers need to find their source of truth in God’s unchanging word.  Join Janet and Craig for another instructive session on how to do just that.

Money touches our fears, our desires, our relationships, and our sense of security. That’s why Jesus said in Matthew 6:21: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” He knew something we often miss--money issues are heart issues. On the next Faith & Finance Live, Rob West explores how our financial lives reveal what’s happening inside us—and how God invites us into freedom and trust. Then, it’s on to your calls. That’s Faith & Finance Live —where biblical wisdom meets today’s finances, weekdays at 4pm Eastern/3pm Central on Moody Radio.

We're going to archives for a great Friday conversation about Shorty. Bud. Pooch. And Punkin. You'll even hear what Dr. Kathy Koch's nickname was. How did you get that nickname? Who gave it to you? Why did it stick? Has that nickname helped or hurt your self-image? You'll laugh and maybe shed a tear or two when you hear this "Best of Chris Fabry Live" conversation about nicknames!

Later in the episode, Dr. Samuel Naaman, Professor of Intercultural Studies at Moody Bible Institute and Vice President of Call of Hope, shared how believers can engage people from different cultures with the gospel.

Money has a way of reaching places in our lives that few other things do. It touches our fears, desires, relationships, priorities, and sense of security.

That may be why Jesus spoke so often about money and possessions. In Matthew 6:21, He says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Jesus understood something we often miss: money issues are often heart issues. Our financial choices can reveal what we trust, what we desire, and ultimately what we treasure.

Years ago, Ron Blue once shared a story from his time in Kenya that profoundly shaped the way I think about stewardship.

Ron was sitting on a hillside with a local pastor, looking out over the village where the man lived. Ron asked him what he thought was a practical question: “What’s the greatest barrier to the spread of the gospel here?”

Ron expected to hear about a lack of money, transportation, or other resources.

The pastor didn’t hesitate. “Materialism.”

Ron was stunned. Surely materialism was primarily a Western problem. But the pastor explained that if a man has a mud hut, he wants a stone hut. If he has a thatched roof, he wants a metal one. If he has one cow, he wants two.

That conversation helped Ron recognize an important truth: Materialism isn’t ultimately about how much you have. It’s about what your heart longs for.

If materialism can thrive in a mud hut as easily as in an American suburb, then possessions aren’t the root problem. The heart is.

Money simply has a remarkable ability to expose what is already there.

Money itself is neither moral nor immoral. It is a tool. But because it touches nearly every area of life, the way we handle it can reveal what is happening inside us.

Overspending may reveal a desire for identity, comfort, or approval. Clinging tightly to savings may reveal where we seek ultimate security. Debt can sometimes expose impatience or a desire to live beyond what God has currently provided. Resistance to generosity may reveal a fear that there will not be enough.

In each case, the dollars are secondary. The heart is primary.

The good news is that God cares deeply about our hearts, and He invites us into something better: freedom from fear, comparison, striving, and the belief that everything depends on us.

Over the years, a few biblical truths have become foundational to the way I think about money and stewardship.

Biblical stewardship begins with ownership.

Everything we possess ultimately belongs to God. Our money, possessions, abilities, opportunities, and even the power to produce wealth are gifts entrusted to us for a season.

Recognizing God's ownership changes the question from, “What do I want to do with my money?” to, “God, what would You have me do with what belongs to You?”

When we understand ourselves as stewards rather than owners, we can begin to hold money with greater gratitude, humility, and freedom.

Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6 that our heavenly Father feeds the birds and clothes the lilies—and that His children are worth far more.

That doesn’t mean Christians will never face financial difficulty or uncertainty. It does mean our ultimate confidence is not found in a paycheck, investment account, or emergency fund.

Wise planning matters. Saving matters. Working diligently matters. But none of those things were designed to carry the weight of our ultimate security.

God is our provider. 

As that truth moves from something we know intellectually to something we believe deeply, fear begins to loosen its grip.

Money is useful, but it makes a terrible master.

It was never meant to provide our identity, significance, or ultimate security. Instead, money can bec

Idolatry doesn’t always look like a golden statue.  Sometimes it looks like a job, a relationship, or even your own reflection in the mirror.  Today on BOLD STEPS, Mark Jobe dives into 1 Corinthians 10 with a message titled Keep Your Worship Pure, naming the idols that hide in plain sight in modern life.  It’s an honest look at what’s really sitting on the throne of your heart.

The pain that happened to you is real . . . and it matters immensely.
The notion of healing what you can’t erase is not about ignoring the devastation of your past or putting a glossy, positive spin on current tragedy. That plastic version of faith isn’t actually faith; it’s unbelief. Chris Cook will join us to offer a road map for moving forward through the losses and scars by allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to transform us . . . spirit, soul, and body.
