“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” That’s James five, sixteen, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. When James talks about fervent prayer, he’s encouraging us to pray with unbridled passion. Is that how you pray? If not, what would it take for you to start? Today, Ron offers some biblical insight into the power and necessity of a passionate prayer life, as he continues in his series, “The Jesus Way To Pray.”  

The light of the gospel shines into our hearts to bring salvation—and the light of the truth characterizes authentic gospel ministry. It is the open and truthful proclamation of Jesus Christ, marked by clarity and integrity.

What happens when a church goes up against storm-like opposition? Is there a way to prepare for this that increases the likelihood of a positive outcome? We’re heading that direction in our study today.

Acts 5:17-42

When encountering the real Jesus, there is still no middle ground. Jesus Christ is the final and most complete revelation from God. In this message, Pastor Lutzer explains why no prophet can improve on Christ. Our eternal destiny relies on whether or not we know the truth.

Executive leadership coach and author Fred Gladney is Wayne Shepherd’s guest to tell his personal story of faith and the biblical principles for business he’s learned.  (click for more…)  

Website:  TheDNAofSuccess.com  

Fred Gladney is an executive leadership coach, entrepreneur, and author of The DNA of Success. Gladney describes growing up in a "cultural Christian" household in Pittsburgh, coming to genuine faith in his late twenties after being prayed for at a dinner in California, and being discipled by mentors including Dr. E.V. Hill and Frank Wilson. He reflects on integrating faith with a long corporate career (including leaving a company over ethical issues), and shares his coaching philosophy — that real success requires surrender, that leaders should focus on personal growth and self-awareness rather than assessments and quadrants, and that significance comes from mentoring others and leaving a lasting legacy. The conversation closes with his emphasis on Scripture memorization and mentorship, especially in an age of AI, and a mention of his book and his longtime board service with the Far East Broadcasting Company.
