Why did the Pharisees clash so often with Jesus if they were genuinely trying to be faithful to God? Kaitlyn explains who the Pharisees actually were, why they saw Jesus as a threat, and why the familiar picture of them as self-righteous villains misses important context. She also explores what Jesus' harshest critiques were really about, why Christians should be careful about calling people "Pharisees" today, and what these conflicts teach us about faithfulness, power, and trying to do Jesus' job for him.

Listen to today's Laugh Again with Phil Callaway, "Wrong Funeral." Enjoy!

When Jacob settles his family near a Canaanite city instead of continuing on to Bethel, the consequences are devastating — his daughter Dinah is assaulted, and his sons respond with deception and murder. Dr. John Neufeld traces how years of parental neglect and misplaced priorities set the stage for tragedy, offering a sobering challenge to parents about guarding their children's faith.

Amazing Promises to Dysfunctional People: In this 20-message series, Dr. John Neufeld walks through the dysfunctional family of Abraham found in Genesis 25-36, uncovering the relational brokenness at its core. Sin leaves human relationships fractured—we long for connection, yet find ourselves divided in so many ways. Listen in, and be challenged to live with integrity even when the world around you feels like it's falling apart.
