The Well

When a follower of Christ fails--perhaps publicly--it may impact your relationship and cause questions. How should we respond? Or if it’s us, is our testimony ruined? Pastor John Munro helps us learn about true repentance, and the joy of spiritual restoration.

We live in a world that desperately needs a source of hope. The problem is that every time we put our hope in something manmade, we end up disappointed! This is a fallen world, and the things that we build for ourselves eventually crumble to dust. Pastor Jeff reminds us today that we have a responsibility to share a message of hope with the entire world! Jesus came to this world to bring hope to the hopeless, and we are empowered to share that hope with everyone we meet!

What motivates you in your daily Christian walk? Rules? Rewards? Relationship? Or does something else come to mind? On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy explores the motivation that really counts as he opens to Titus 2, verses 11 through 15.

Mark Gregston shares how unexpected setbacks — including getting fired — became the catalyst for founding Heartlight Ministries and beginning a lifelong “journey to genuineness.” As he reflects on rejection, pride and unresolved personal issues, he encourages parents to consider how their own wounds and blind spots may be influencing their parenting. Mark urges moms and dads of struggling teens to start by looking inward, examining motives, addressing past hurts and embracing authenticity — before focusing on their child’s behavior. Ultimately, he reminds parents that self-reflection and healing can lead to a more grounded relationship with their teens.
