It's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of worldly possessions, but Dr. Tony Evans says there’s a greater treasure we need to be chasing—one that offers lasting rewards. He explains the eternal value of pursuing God’s Kingdom and the fulfillment that comes with it.

Lysa TerKeurst is back for the *5th* time today, and we’re going to talk about how to walk through a season full of more loss than beauty. Her brand new book, Surviving An Unwanted Divorce releases tomorrow, and this book is such a helpful tool for those of you walking through a divorce or those of you that want to know how to help someone who is.  

Whether you know you’re about to enter a winter season or one is thrust upon you, figuring out how to navigate the trauma, grief, and healing can be so overwhelming and Lysa’s experience and wisdom is SUCH a gift. I think this is one of those episodes you’re going to want to text to a friend.

If you’re following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 121. The date is different because we moved this one up, but the question is there for you. The guidebook is available for you at anniefdowns.com/seasons!

If you enjoyed this episode, I think you’d also like to hear Episode 479 with Brandi Wilson when she also talks about finding hope and healing after a divorce.

Most businesses struggle to explain what they do in a way that actually gets people interested. You tweak your website copy, add more content, and keep pitching your product, but the reaction is lukewarm at best. Why? Because you're missing the most critical part of a messaging strategy, what Donald Miller calls the "5 front steps." Think of your brand as a house. Without these front steps, you're essentially asking customers to leap onto your front porch with no ladder in sight. It's a recipe for lost sales. So how do you fix this messaging gap?

In this episode, Donald Miller and Kyle Reed walk through the 5 essential soundbites every business must use to spark curiosity and drive growth. You'll learn how to position your brand as the guide, write words that people actually remember, and create marketing that doesn't just get seen, it gets repeated. Tune in to learn the exact messaging framework that top brands are using right now to grow at lightning speed.

What does it really mean to live in light of Christ's return? Dr. John examines Jesus' practical instructions from Luke 21, revealing that true end times study isn't about speculation but about faithful living. He unpacks four essential applications: maintain a hope-filled heart despite life's burdens, live with constant expectation of Christ's return, pray for strength to endure without losing faith, and remain faithful in your daily calling—making believers the greatest blessing to a world heading toward its end.

The End of the Age: Our desire to see into the future is more than curiosity. We want to know what will happen so we can be prepared. If we know what the weather will be, what the stock market will do or how our job interview will turn out, we can adjust accordingly. In this 10-message series, Dr. John Neufeld teaches on Jesus' words and actions from Luke 21-22. Jesus points to the end of the age and describes what will be. While He doesn't answer our question of "When?", Jesus tells believers how to be ready. If we live as prepared people, the timing of Jesus' return will not catch us off guard.

Foster care and adoption can be wonderfully redemptive for needy children, but parents also need to be aware of the loss and trauma these kids have experienced. Of course, not everyone is called to be foster or adoptive parent, but anyone can come alongside these families to encourage and support them. Ryan and Kayla North describe the joys and challenges of foster parenting and adoption.

A suitcase bundle is a constant and caring reminder for children in foster care they are very loved and a valuable child of God.
