Hello, friend. Thanks for joining me.

Today’s episode finds us in the pit with Joseph. Sold into slavery by his own brothers and sent to Egypt with nothing. Nothing except a dream given to him by God. No matter how dire his circumstances, nothing could take away the call of God on his life. And nothing can take away the call of God on yours, my friend.

God wants to be first in our lives and help us with the mission He’s given us, but we can put it off and lose the vision. Encouragement for the race ... today on Bold Steps! Many of us at one time have had a clear picture and God given direction shown to us in life, but along the way something happened. Discouragement and distraction set in, and we put off what we were called to do. Today we continue with the book of Haggai and how God stirred people's hearts and restored a vision. We're hoping today's broadcast is sort of a tailwind that pushes you in the direction God is calling you to go.

Breaking up is hard for everyone — and yeah, it's just the worst. It really is. Today, Sadie’s invited  her friends Liv Keinath and Lydia Walker to chat about how they knew it was time to end things with their exes (including a fiancé), the fear of letting go of “what could’ve been,” grieving the future they thought they’d have, and how they eventually found a way to move forward. And if you're feeling stuck in something that doesn’t feel right, they’ve got some seriously good advice and encouragement — and just know, you are so not alone in this.

Pontius Pilate was like every other person who has ever lived. The fundamental question of his life was, "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" (Matthew 27:22). Everyone has to deal with Jesus, to decide about Him and His claims. In one setting, we can see how one man (Pilate) was influenced to deal with Jesus in three different ways. These three ways are how many people today still choose to deal with Jesus Christ.

A meeting at the White House this week looked at several examples of anti-Christian bias in bureaucracy and beyond. The US Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case originating in Maryland that puts school officials over parents. And John and Maria discuss the legacy of Pope Francis.

Pastor Skip examines five ways God calls those who are in Christ to submit.

My guest today is Keith Nester, a former pastor who spent over 20 years in ministry—until one verse changed everything. When he heard Jesus say in Matthew 26:26, “This is my body,” he knew it wasn’t symbolic. Embracing that truth meant losing his ministry, his income, and nearly his marriage.

He resisted at first, but as liberalism overtook his denomination, he realized only Church tradition could stand firm.

Today, Keith helps others find their way home. His mission: unite Christians in truth and reignite a deep love for scripture and Christ’s teachings. He’s living proof that following truth is worth everything.
