The Well

It’s important to be vigilant about the kind of people you allow into your life. What kind of fruit does their life produce? Are they really living for the Lord, or are they claiming to live for Him while doing the exact opposite? Pastor Jeff warns you today that one of the easiest ways to allow the enemy access to your life is to allow lukewarm Christians into your life. When you let your guard down, Satan gets the opportunity to work his way into your life and sow lies and false teachings in your heart.

When Jesus began His ministry, there were many who hoped that He would lead a political revolution or become a military ruler. But on this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro shows how Jesus came not as a mighty conqueror but as a suffering servant, and why this makes Him the true Hope of the Nations.

Our bodies often remind us that we’re human—prone to disease and injury, destined for death. But that’s not the end of the story. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy explains that Christ came to save our souls and to redeem our bodies.

A teen’s purpose isn’t discovered in a single moment or from sitting at home; it unfolds through exposure, experience and exploration. In today's show, we explore how parents play a vital role by expanding their teen’s world, encouraging curiosity, and allowing them to try, fail and grow without forcing a fixed path too early. Purpose develops as teens engage in real-world experiences, learn resilience and discover what they’re capable of beyond comfort and familiarity. The goal isn’t to decide their future for them, but to help them discover who God created them to be and what’s possible for their lives.

Feel like youth sports have discipled your heart more than church has? Fear, control, and post-game critiques turn you into the "older brother" judging performance instead of the welcoming father extending grace. Brian Smith and Ed Uszynski, authors of Away Game: A Christian Parent's Guide to Navigating Youth Sports, call parents to self-examination, the radical discipline of silence, and redefining wins by fruit of the Spirit—not stats. Reclaim sports as true discipleship ground.
