  • Life's Most Meaningful Pursuit: Knowing God

    Consider this absolute truth: everything in life comes from God. There can be no meaning in life apart from God. God wants us to know Him, invites us, in fact, to know Him. Who is God and what is He like? It is important for us to know this because if we get it wrong, everything else in life will be wrong. Nothing makes sense if God doesn’t make sense. But to seek to know God is to be honestly confronted with the truth about us and our world. In this podcast I explain some of that pursuit.

  • The Cross and the Empty Tomb: What it Means
    Many people go to church on Easter Sunday to only hear the story of Christ’s resurrection. Yes, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is central to the Christian faith. In fact, the Apostle Paul said there is no faith without it. But the resurrection is a symbol of victory, of accomplishment, of the culmination of the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ. It symbolizes all that Jesus accomplished on your behalf. It's not just that the tomb was empty and Jesus was alive, it's what the empty tomb means and secured for you. Find out in this podcast. Happy Resurrection Sunday!

  • Jesus and You

    Jesus Christ is more than a Savior. He was a teacher, a healer, a prophet, and King. Is your relationship with Jesus Christ just about salvation? Just about life? God intended it to be so much more than that. Why did the Lord of Heaven leave His eternal glory to live amongst us? Is it just to give you salvation? Or is something more…perhaps much more?

  • Three Things God Will Not Change

    God IS NOT subject to our whims and our attempts to change who HE is. To change WHO Jesus Christ is. To change what the Bible says...about ANYTHING. Build your foundation on the foundation of the Word of God, the message of Christ, and the preaching of the Good News. When all is swirling around you, that’s never going to change. Don't let the world tell you different.

    “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world" C.S. Lewis.

  • Defending Your Faith: Why It's Important

    The Christian faith is not a blind faith. It is based on the testimony of Jesus Christ. It's meant to carry us through, to help us weather the great storms of life, to strengthen our reliance on God. Does your faith do that? Can it be stronger? Are there ways to strengthen it? In this podcast I share the things that pull me through the darkness that is our world. I hope it blesses you.

  • Will America Make it Back?

    Difficult times are upon us and will likely get worse. The battle for the soul of America has been raging for a long time, but never more contentious than it is today. And it appears the enemies of America are winning and attempting to redefine what America stands for. Will America make it back? Will she once again become "the shining city of a hill?" Will she return to the greatness she once had? The esteem of the world? The destination of all who sought freedom? If Christians engage, if America can return to her founding values, her morality, to the Providential Hand of Almighty God. Maybe, just maybe, God will bring America back.

  • The Word of God

    The Apostle Paul warned in II Timothy 3:1 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come..." In those times, Paul said, we are to remember the safety of the Word of God. We are not to abandon it, change it, re-interpret it to meet our expectations. We are to read it, trust it, and believe it. Our path to navigating our "perilous times" is found in the Bible.
