Did you know that the cross of Christ was always God's plan from the very beginning? It wasn't a reaction to mankind's rejection of His Son, nor was it an accommodation to a Roman and Jewish miscarriage of justice. It was according to "the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God" (Acts 2:23). Today we will take a journey back and connect the dots of God's unfolding plan of the cross throughout the ages.

A young Israeli couple are murdered in Washington D.C. The Council of Nicaea was 1700 years ago but is just as relevant today. And is AI capable of ending humanity?

Pastor Skip helps you understand how God meets you even in your most pain-filled condition.

Fr. Robert Spitzer is back—and this time, we’re talking UFOs.

Newly declassified footage from Navy pilots shows unidentified craft that defy known physics. Could this point to intelligent alien life?

If so—do they have souls? Free will? Original sin? Would they need salvation? Baptism?

As a priest and expert in the philosophy of science, Fr. Spitzer unpacks the theological implications of extraterrestrial life—and what it would mean for our understanding of creation, redemption, and the uniqueness of humanity.

This is one conversation where faith meets the final frontier.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, we’re examining something extraordinary happening across our nation and around the world that you may have missed amidst all the headlines. While much of the media focuses on division, conflict, and cultural decline, there’s actually an incredible movement of God happening right under our noses. Young people—particularly young men—are turning to Christ in remarkable numbers.  After decades of studies showing Christianity in decline, we’re witnessing what looks like the start of a spiritual resurgence.  We’re going to explore what that means for all of us. It’s a powerful discussion about God’s work in the next generation.
