The Light

It would be nice to imagine that being a Christian would mean we never encountered conflict any more—conflict with one another, conflict within the church. But sadly, the sinful nature within each one of us is such that we fail relationally and need to deal with the fallout. What do we do when others sin against us? Jesus says to pursue reconciliation and extend forgiveness. These are vital lessons for each of us to learn.

Explore why the return of Christ is not something to fear but something to look forward to.

Faith is not divided. It chooses.

In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to Moses in Hebrews 11 to show that genuine faith refuses to let comfort, ambition, or fear determine the direction of life. Moses chose to identify with God’s people rather than enjoy the temporary privileges of Egypt.

His example confronts believers with a clear question: what are you choosing when obedience costs you something?

This episode calls believers to:

True faith makes choices that honor God now because it sees the greater reward ahead.

When your adult child is going through heartbreak, it can be difficult to know what to do. You want to protect them, take away their pain, and somehow make everything better—but you can't walk through the heartbreak for them. Whether they are grieving a breakup, betrayal, disappointment, or another painful relationship experience, Christian parents can learn to support their adult children while trusting God to carry them through the storm.

Isaiah 43:2 reminds us that God doesn't promise a life without painful seasons, but He does promise His presence in the middle of them: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.” As a parent, that means you don't have to fix your adult child's heartbreak. You can listen, offer a steady and loving presence, pray for them, and give their pain and future to God, trusting Him to bring healing, wisdom, and hope in His timing.

Giving Your Adult Child’s Heartbreak to God

By: Lia Girard

Bible Reading:

When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze. 

– Isaiah 43:2, NIV 

As Christians, we know that Jesus doesn’t promise a trouble-free life here on earth. Which naturally means we can expect that there will be days or seasons of pain, heartache, confusion, or grief. However, just knowing that we’re human (and that hurt will find us eventually) doesn’t pre
