While studying for a different episode, we found an article that claimed some Biblical people were autistic. Were they? Let us take a few moments to discuss the matter.

Man is created with a drive to accomplish, conquer, and compete. However, when they competitive spirit is expressed our spiritual relationships, the result can spiritually tragic. This week Wayne addresses this reality by noting the teachings of Jesus in Matthew chapter 18.

In this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, Emily Hatfield explores what it truly means to wholly delight in the Lord — not out of obligation, but from a heart bent toward Him in joy, reverence, and deep attentiveness.

Key Takeaways

• Delight precedes discipline.
• Deep study produces steady faith.
• Reverence for God transforms obedience into joy.
• Remembering God’s covenant strengthens us to uphold ours.
• Blessed is the one who wholly delights in Him.

In this episode of Today With Jesus, Dan Winkler and Robert Hatfield continue their study of the seven sayings of Jesus from the cross. We come to one of the most hope-filled statements ever spoken:

Spoken to a dying criminal in the final hours of Jesus’ earthly life, this promise reveals the heart, authority, and assurance of our Savior.

In Part 1, we focus carefully on what Jesus meant when He uttered these words.

Politics can feel relentless. Campaign ads. Social media debates. Polarized conversations. Constant outrage. For many Christians, it’s not just frustrating—it’s exhausting.

In this episode, the preachers talk honestly about political fatigue—what it is, why it’s so common right now, and how followers of Jesus can navigate politics without losing their peace, unity, or spiritual focus.

Recently, a viral video has made its rounds. A "preacher" from a Texas denomination claimed that congregants should throw their medication in the toilet and apologize to the toilet. Today, Andrew unpacks a few statements from the 52-second clip and points out that no, you should not.

In this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, Emily Hatfield explores the deeply encouraging truth that we are fully and completely known by God. Drawing from Scripture and personal testimony, she reminds listeners that belonging to Jesus means we are never unseen, forgotten, or alone.

Emily reflects on how Jesus consistently showed others that He saw them personally—whether it was Peter’s empty fishing nets, Nathanael under the fig tree, or the outcasts and grieving people He welcomed with compassion. That same attentive care is true for us today.

The episode centers on the beauty of Psalm 139, where David marvels at the intimate knowledge God has of each individual life: our thoughts, words, paths, and even the days written for us before we were born. God’s knowledge is not distant or impersonal—it is loving, detailed, and constant.

Emily also shares her own experience of grief, depression, and losing her mother, offering a powerful reminder that God meets His children in the darkest moments. Through a meaningful “God moment” involving a necklace inscribed with John 14:18 (“I will not leave you as orphans”), she highlights how God’s comfort often comes in deeply personal ways.

Ultimately, this episode invites wives to rest in the truth that God knows every part of us—our struggles, our fears, our sins, and our sorrow—and still loves us completely. Being wholly known by God is not something to fear, but a source of strength, comfort, and hope.

This week Wayne is joined by his good friend and fellow minister, Logan Summers. The discussion centers around the difficulty of divorce and how we can spiritually and emotionally heal from separation, betrayal, and heartache. In this frank conversation, issues of forgiveness, trauma, and abandonment are considered in light of Scripture. We pray that anyone impacted by such a terrible situation can find peace and strength.

In this episode of Today With Jesus, Dan Winkler and Robert Hatfield continue their study of the first of Jesus’ seven sayings from the cross:

In Part 1, we examined the statement in its immediate context at Calvary. In Part 2, we step back and ask:

How did Jesus live this prayer long before He prayed it?

And how can we bring that same spirit into our own hearts?
