July 21, 2025 What Does the Bible Say About Faith and Works? | The Well Podcast S4E03
In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman discuss the relationship between faith and works.
The gospel is that we’re saved by grace through faith alone. Salvation is a gift from Jesus! Heaven is not a reward given for being good, and works are not what gets us into heaven. Rather, saving faith produces works, which are acts of obedience to honor God.
Listen along as they explore how faith in motion and obedience in action are the steps of working out your salvation.

June 02, 2025 What to do When You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling | The Well Podcast S3E22
What do you do when you feel like you’ve lost that lovin’ feelin’ in your marriage? In this episode of The Well Podcast, host Les Norman and Pastor Chad Glover discuss the transformative role of humility, gentle love, and God-centered restoration in marriage and relationships. Pastor Chad shares vulnerably about intergenerational patterns, the necessity of “dying to self” daily, and the sanctifying work of marriage. Les reflects on the importance of choosing to humble oneself and the ongoing need for grace and understanding.
Transformation in marriage begins with humility—choosing to lower yourself and surrendering your rights, even when you feel “right” in an argument. When rejection or conflict arises, commit to thinking the best about your spouse and extending them grace. Lasting love is about choosing to persevere, restore, and honor God together. Discover how to bring that lovin’ feelin’ into your marriage again! More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/

May 19, 2025 Israel, Prophecy, and the Second Coming | The Well Podcast S3E20
In this episode of The Well Podcast, host Les Norman and Pastor Phil Hopper dive into the prophetic significance of current events in Israel. After a powerful and eye-opening trip to the Holy Land, Pastor Phil gives a unique perspective on these events and shares why so many believe we are living in truly prophetic times.
Unlike previous trips, Pastor Phil engaged in conversations with devout Jewish people and explored rarely accessed sites like Shiloh and Joshua’s altar. He heard Jewish people articulate why they believe they’re living in prophetic times and witnessed the complexity and tragedy of the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The trip gave him and other American pastors a firsthand understanding of the situation, helping them counteract misinformation and provide biblically grounded perspectives on the events.
Pastor Phil examines the theological debate around "replacement theology," arguing for the ongoing significance of God’s covenant with Israel. He traces the historical, scriptural, and archeological evidence for Israel’s claim to the land back to biblical prophecies that support their claim.
Hear how the recent fulfillment of prophecies, the discovery of the red heifers, and the ongoing conflict in Israel connect to God’s unbroken covenant with His people and the return of the Messiah.
The episode concludes with practical steps for listeners:
Pray for peace in Jerusalem.
Support Israel.
Remember God’s love for all people in that region.
Listeners will be challenged to view world events through a biblical lens and stand with God’s chosen people.
