As we wait on Jesus' return, Christians are not to be still, but to go about the business God's assigned. If Jesus came back right now and asked "What have you done with what I've given you?" what would be your honest answer? It's not too late to start doing more!

In this message, Pastor Greg Laurie opens Scripture and points us in a proactive, rather than inactive, direction.

"If we're too busy using our sickles on each other, we'll miss the harvest." —Vance Havner

In this episode, Pastor Greg Laurie recounts an experience at a Mexican restaurant where he realized: The happiest Christian are evangelistic. And the unhappiest are too busy arguing to notice the opportunities right in front of them!

In this final message from Jude, Dr. Michael Youssef gives believers the tools needed to contend for the Faith without fear. In a day of scoffers, false teachers, and watered-down Biblical Truth, God’s people must be informed by the inerrant Word, insulated through prayer in the Holy Spirit, and involved in reaching the lost with mercy. Believers must repent of spiritual dryness, remain in the love of God, and intercede for those standing near the fire of judgment. Yet our confidence is not in ourselves. Jesus Christ, our divine Bridegroom, is able to keep His people from falling and present them blameless before the Father.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week, we heard about a new study on the use of unregulated abortion pills and why people are hearing more pro-life messages in church these days. Then we heard from a mother who shared her own story of learning how to pray for our men and women in uniform. Former Muslim Hedieh Mirahmadi Falco shared her transformative story of a life marked by ambition, toxicity and strict religious dogma made new by the life-giving message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our favorite Scottish apologist, David Robertson, addressed several issues including his take on space aliens. Dr. Charlie Dyer, the host of The Land and the Book radio show, addressed God’s promises to the people of Israel. There is no shortage of topics requiring believers to be biblically grounded so as to discern the truth from the deceptions. We invite you to learn how to use God’s word to do just that as we close out another important week of In The Market with Janet Parshall.

Pride has been at the root of countless downfalls throughout history. Dr. Tony Evans traces the origin of Satan’s rebellion and reveals the devastating consequences of exalting self above God.

Many claim faith. But Scripture asks a sharper question: Is your faith alive? In this foundational message from James 2, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts counterfeit Christianity—belief that talks about Jesus but refuses repentance, surrender, and transformation.

Dr. Youssef warns that faith without works is dead—no better than the “faith” of demons who know the Truth yet refuse to submit. Saving faith is never mere words or religious tradition. It shows up in real life through obedience, sacrifice, and spiritual fruit.

This episode calls believers to welcome God’s searching light:

Regular self-examination guards you from deception—and proves your faith is real.

Scripture Focus: James 2:14–26

“For you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you, and encouraged you, and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God.” - 1 Thessalonians 2:11–12

With Father’s Day approaching, it’s worth asking a deeper question: What kind of legacy are we leaving as men, as dads, and as stewards of what God has entrusted to us?

Jonathan Lewis, President of Eastport Financial Group and Founder of Fathers for Fathers, joined the show today to discuss fatherhood, faith, and the financial discipleship that can shape generations. Fathers for Fathers is a faith-based organization that restores hope, healing, and purpose in the lives of men, especially fathers.

Jonathan’s passion for fathers is deeply personal. At 15 years old, he experienced the traumatic loss of his father in Nova Scotia. In the years that followed, he carried guilt, grief, and brokenness. He couch-surfed, slept in his car, and eventually joined the Canadian Armed Forces, where discipline helped steady his life.

Looking back, Jonathan sees how God used even the painful parts of his story. The wounds and scars that once felt like liabilities have become part of the way he ministers to hurting men today.

He points to Revelation 12:11, which speaks of overcoming “by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” God did not waste Jonathan’s story. Instead, He redeemed it and now uses it to help other men find hope and healing.

Many fathers carry silent shame or regret. Some feel they have failed their children. Others feel absent, discouraged, or unsure how to begin again.

Jonathan’s message to them is simple: Your story is not over if you are still breathing.

Too often, men rehearse their failures and live in what Jonathan calls the “depreciation room,” constantly reminding themselves of what they have done wrong. But the gospel invites men to step out of shame and into repentance, responsibility, and renewed purpose.

That does not mean minimizing sin or pretending failure has not happened. It means acknowledging what is true, bringing it into the light, and receiving the grace of Christ. As Jonathan explained, change requires contrition. It requires owning mistakes. And ultimately, it requires the substitute who has already stepped in for us: Jesus Christ.

For fathers who feel distant from their children, the first step may be small, but it should be faithful.

Jonathan especially encourages absent fathers not to hide behind excuses. Many men who are not actively involved in their children’s lives genuinely want to be, but they feel trapped by regret, conflict, or past failures. Still, faithfulness begins with taking responsibility.

That may mean reaching out. It may mean providing financially. It may mean supporting your children's mother with humility and integrity. It may mean confessing hidden sin to a spiritually mature man and inviting him to hold you accountable.

The goal is not to shame men, but to call them forward. Fatherhood requires courage, humility, and community. Men were not meant to carry the weight alone.

Because Jonathan also works with families through Eastport Financial Group, he sees stewardship as more than managing money. Biblical stewardship includes how we handle our time, relationships, influence, responsibilities, and resources.

A man may be generous with money but neglect generosity with his love, presence, patience, or encouragement. That

On FamilyLife Today, Dave Wilson sits down with Brian Goins, Daron George, Jorge Rosario, and Bruce Goff for a truth-telling conversation about fatherhood, legacy, and what it takes to break generational patterns before they break your kids. From Holy Spirit nudges to hilarious parenting fails, these men talk real-world pressure, regret, obedience, and the small choices that quietly shape a family for decades.
