Can you handle the truth? 

As the search for truth becomes increasingly difficult in today's world, we tackle this controversial topic head-on, examining how social media, including Elon Musk's recent purchase of Twitter, impacts our ability to discern the truth. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that explores the ever-changing definition of truth in modern culture and the ultimate truth that comes from Jesus, the one who changes everything about us.

Diving into Romans 1 and Numbers 14, we discuss how sin can lead to suppressing the truth and exchanging it for lies. Discover the importance of allowing God to transform us through the renewing of our minds, and how looking to the external, fixed truth of Jesus and His Word can guide us into a life of freedom. Plus, we share a powerful song that captures the theme of never being alone in the fire, even when we feel like people without a home. Today's challenging message will ignite your search for truth.

Have you ever felt your blood boil as a child's tantrum spirals out of control or been witness to the unchecked anger that permeates everyday life, from long lines at the DMV to hostile customer service encounters? In today's episode, we examine the roots of anger and how unchecked rage can damage our relationships. Join us as we discuss the valuable lessons we can learn from our tantrum-throwing toddlers, pray for transformation from within, and explore ways to manage our emotions in trying moments.

With reference to Proverbs and Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, we dive into the Biblical perspective on righteous and unrighteous anger, and underscore the importance of being slow to anger. We also explore the concept of the "anger iceberg" and how understanding the root cause of our anger can help us react more positively in difficult situations, and prevent these negative emotions from taking over our lives.

We wrap up the episode with an inspiring story from the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide, highlighting the incredible power of forgiveness and reconciliation. The nonprofit organization AMI played a crucial role in fostering healing between the Hutus and Tutsis, resulting in touching moments of forgiveness and grace. Drawing parallels to Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, we reflect on the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation in our own lives, and offer a prayer for peace and healing. Join us on this journey and embrace the grace of growth and transformation.

Do you ever feel like the weight of the world is bearing down on you? Anxiety and depression can feel inescapable, but in this sermon, we discuss how God's word can shine a light into the darkness and provide hope for those struggling with mental health challenges. Although I am not an expert on this subject, I have done extensive research and consulted with professionals to bring you a thoughtful, spiritual perspective on these complex issues.

Together, we explore how scriptures from both the Old and New Testaments can help us renew our minds and find hope in God, even in our darkest moments. We discuss the importance of acknowledging our struggles, allowing God's light to help us overcome them, and trusting in the gradual, transformative work He can do in our lives. Through honest conversations about anxiety and depression, we can take steps toward healing and finding hope in the midst of our battles.

As we address the power of God's grace and presence in our lives, we encourage those who are struggling to reach out for help, pray, and trust in God's plan for their lives. Let's celebrate the goodness and faithfulness of our loving God who offers peace, comfort, and hope even in the midst of our darkest days. Listen in and join us in finding hope amid our struggles, guided by the wisdom and love of God.

Losing my grandfather recently has been a powerful reminder of the impact one person can have on the lives of others. A man who spent his life serving Jesus and loving people, his ability to connect with others and spread love inspires me to explore the power of the gospel to bring people together in a divided world. This heartfelt episode examines how the gospel can overcome evil and spread love and acceptance among all people, no matter their differences.

Drawing from Romans 12, we discuss the practical wisdom Paul provides for living a godly life and loving others genuinely. As we examine our actions and attitudes, we learn how to love our neighbors by going beyond what is expected and showing them honor. This sermon emphasizes that if we have been changed by the love, grace, and mercy of God, then our lives should reflect this transformation internally and externally.

Finally, we delve into the importance of making peace and overcoming evil in our relationships. Inspired by my grandfather's life and the teachings of Jesus, we discover how to show love to our enemies and rely on the power of love to overcome evil in the world. Join us as we reflect on the incredible power of the gospel and the importance of living a life full of love and genuine connections.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to find strength in the midst of their pain, while others crumble under the weight of it? This episode is all about learning how to navigate through pain in a way that invites God to work in and through it, transforming us into stronger, more resilient individuals. Drawing from the wisdom of A.W. Tozer and the Apostle Paul, we'll explore how embracing pain as a great teacher can lead to incredible blessings and growth in our lives.

We'll discuss different sources of pain, such as those stemming from someone else's bad decisions, and how to find hope in the midst of these struggles by anchoring ourselves in Romans 8:28. Also, we'll take a closer look at the story of Joseph in the Old Testament and the book of Job, providing invaluable insights into why we suffer and how to trust God in our darkest moments. 

Don't miss the inspiring and powerful testimony of Joe and Amy Crosby, who have faced tremendous pain in their lives, but have come out on the other side filled with hope and strength. Their story serves as an incredible example of how God can work through our pain to bring about redemption and restoration. Join us as we learn how to trust God in pain, allowing Him to guide us through it and emerge stronger and more faithful on the other side.

How could I, as a man, preach to mothers on Mother’s Day? I find it much more beneficial to ask moms to share their thoughts, feelings, scripture, and more to inspire others.
