The Well

When you think of your dream home, what do you imagine? A fabulous kitchen with a center island? A large family room with a big screen TV? Well, on this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy describes the greatest “Dream House” of all time. It’s where Christians will spend eternity!

In today's episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd discuss how parents will inevitably feel hurt or disappointed by their teen’s mistakes, but those moments are opportunities to show grace rather than withdraw. Grace means moving toward teens when they fail — allowing consequences to stand while affirming that love and relationship remain secure. Teens need to know their parents’ love is not performance-based and does not diminish when they make poor choices. When parents respond this way, they reflect God’s unconditional love and create the safety teens need to learn, grow and change.

If submission makes you bristle and leadership feels confusing, you’re not alone. Pastors Rechab Gray and and Ike Todd dig into what Scripture actually teaches about marriage—why husbands must model submission first, why empathy matters, and how community keeps love honest. It's Ephesians 5, explained--offering clarity, conviction, and hope for couples who want more than surface-level peace, and the men who lead them.

In the days of the pony express, riders would blaze across trails, up hills, down embankments, across grassy meadows and through blazing deserts. They had one job: deliver the mail. They may have had plenty of reasons to abort their mission: weather, hunger, sickness, attacks by Paiute Indians – but they persevered. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out we have a much more important message to deliver, and that message must get through.
