The Well

Prayer is a tremendous privilege that followers of Christ enjoy as children of God. So why does it sometimes seem like a chore? On this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro turns to the teaching of Jesus on how to pray, and why we pray, so we can grow in our faith.

In the documentary Free Solo, a rock climber named Alex Honnold (HAWN-old) performs the first-ever free solo climb of El Capitan, a three-thousand-foot-tall rock in Yosemite National Park. He has to have complete certainty of his abilities because he has no tools or helpers to assist him on his climb. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that Abraham had to have an even greater level of faith in God! He had faith that even though he was climbing a mountain to sacrifice his son to the Lord, he would not be returning alone.

The Bible says that God has freely given us everything we need for a fruitful life. But as Christians, why is it that our lives don’t always seem that way? Well, on this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy shares how we can add to our faith in addition to what we have and live more abundantly.

In this episode, Mark, Wayne and Heartlight counselor Courtney Lafleur tackle teens and dating, exploring what it means for parents to set realistic boundaries and stay involved as their children begin to experience romance. 

They share relatable stories about early dating experiences, practical advice on age-appropriate guidelines and the importance of open communication to help parents guide teens through relationship challenges. The conversation is enriched by Hunter, a guest teen who candidly talks about his journey through personal struggles and the positive changes brought about by increased communication with his parents.

Oh the worthless things that get into our minds when we weren’t paying attention. We can remember the words of TV themes . . . the words in the jingles of various fast-food restaurants . . . the words to songs on the radio – songs we don’t even like! If we hear something often enough, it sticks. If we can’t remember Bible verses, maybe we haven’t read them often enough. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us write the truth of Scripture on our hearts, from his message The Bible & Revival.
