WCSK shorts equip you with practical wisdom based on a brief Bible passage. In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal explains to you how to not be angry; how to not "lose your temper" or to "explode" based on something small. Not being angry is important because wrath not only destroys those around you, it is also self-destructive. His explanation ends by providing three practical strategies that anyone can follow. Our Scripture focus will be Ephesians 4:26.

WCSK shorts equip you with practical wisdom based on a brief Bible passage. Today, Dr. Sadaphal explains to you how to get out from the darkness of addiction and step into the fullness of life associated with pleasing God. There are no addicts in the kingdom of heaven so if you (or someone you know) is living in the sin of addiction, then this is an episode not to miss. In the end, it is only by the power of God that we are transformed into new people who are not enslaved to addiction but free to live for the Lord. Our Scripture focus will be I Corinthians 6:9-11.

WCSK shorts equip you with practical wisdom based on a brief Bible passage. In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal talks about the doctrine of providence, or the biblical concept that God orders and maintains everything to bring about His will for His glory. This means things like "fate" or "chance" are not real, and even when life seems "messy" God is provident and is actively involved to bring about His decrees. This has three important applications for your everyday life. Our Scripture focus will be Psalm 107:43 (KJV).

WCSK shorts equip you with practical wisdom based on a brief Bible passage. Today, Dr. Sadaphal explains to you how to stop being consumed by fear and how to not be intimidated by situations, things or other people. God knew His children would suffer from the disease of fear, so His Word provides the necessary prescription for a cure. In the end, God's love conquers all. Our Scripture focus will be I John 4:18.

WCSK shorts equip you with practical wisdom based on a brief Bible passage. Today, Dr. Sadaphal explains to you how to stop worrying, how to not be anxious and how to not allow tomorrow's troubles to overwhelm you today. God knew His children would suffer from the disease of worry, so His Word provides the necessary prescription for a cure. Our Scripture focus will be Matthew 6:34.

WCSK shorts equip you with practical wisdom based on a brief Bible passage. Today, Dr. Sadaphal explains why Calvinism matters: because it neatly clarifies that God is sovereign in salvation, therefore He is the One who determines how you get saved. Also, because it points directly to Christ, the only Mediator between God and man. Calvinism begets a right understanding of the Lord, which honors and maximally glorifies Him, while saturating a person with happiness, joy, delight, confidence, reassurance and comfort. Our Scripture focus will be I Chronicles 29:11-12.

This episode is a replay of one of the most listened to and downloaded episodes in the history of the podcast. In this program (from April 2016), Dr. Sadaphal explains the grand "meta narrative" of the whole Bible. The Bible is a love story about a loving Father incessantly chasing after His children. It is a story that has lots of characters, ups and downs, and twists and turns, but ultimately is a story about redemption and the steps a loving God has taken to restore a broken relationship with the lost. Answered: Why would a God who is holy take steps to save sinful creatures? How can a God who cannot tolerate sin justly forgive sinners? This is not an episode that you want to miss. Get the grand story arc of the Bible in 15 minutes. You have never heard the Bible like this before.

WCSK series six is an expositional verse-by-verse study of the book of Romans. Here, Dr. Sadaphal explains three attributes of God: His kindness, His tolerance and His patience. By design, the demonstration of these leads the elect to repentance, or a "change of mind" that begets turning away from sin. Yet for the Jew who is hostile to the gospel, he rejects God's kindness and remains unrepentant. This leaves him guilty and without excuse. It also leaves any modern person who rejects the gospel guilty and without excuse. Guilty people need a Redeemer, which is why the gospel is of first importance. Our Scripture focus will be Romans 2:4.

WCSK series six is an expositional verse-by-verse study of the book of Romans. In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal begins to unpack the apostle Paul's foundation upon which he levies an accusation against the Jews: that God judges according to the truth. This means no person's sin will be treated in a special way; even more, the judgment that God renders is inescapable. Because divine justice is perfect, it leaves everyone without excuse, so argumentation is futile. This means all men are in desperate need of a Savior. Additionally, discussed as an aside: the reality of divine justice creates meaningful ethics now. Our Scripture focus will be Romans 2:1-3.
