The Well

What do you believe happens when we die? While most people say they believe in Heaven, judgment or the possibility of Hell is something that many reject or prefer not to discuss. On this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro turns to the teaching of Jesus about Heaven, Hell, and the judgment of God.

Trees can grow extremely deep and complex root systems! These roots help anchor trees to the ground, but are also useful to draw moisture from deep underground. These root systems can even stretch down hundreds of feet, depending on the environment! Well, Pastor Jeff wants to teach you in today’s message that your faith in Jesus is a lot like a tree. With weak, shallow roots, your faith can be uprooted in a mild breeze. But with deeper roots, you will be able to withstand strong storms.

Some look forward to their annual job review, and others dread it. It all comes down to how well we’re fulfilling our job description. Well, did you know you’ll have a review when you enter Heaven? That’s our subject on this episode of Know The Truth with Philip De Courcy.

When teens seem demanding or expect the world handed to them, it's easy to chalk it up to “just being a teenager” — but there’s often more beneath the surface. Today, Mark talks with two more teens from Heartlight, both of whom open up about their journeys confronting a culture of entitlement in their families and themselves. For Isaac, easy access to anything he wanted became a way to receive love after his parents' divorce — but over time, he realized it robbed him of work ethic and genuine gratitude. These teens are learning to do more with less — and discovering what matters most as they grow.

Thousands of struggling teens have found hope at Heartlight. Learn more about our residential program today at heartlightministries.org.
