We’ve all said something we immediately regretted—something that slipped out before we could catch it. Once those words left our mouths, we wished we could take them back. But the damage was already done. Dr. Robert Jeffress shares practical principles for keeping destructive words from destroying your relationships.

Some people don’t understand the logic of faith. Believers put their trust in a God who parted the Red Sea, raised the dead, healed the sick, calmed the storm, walked on water . . . and created the heavens and the earth. Doesn’t it make sense to trust a God like that? Does it make sense not to. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings a story about a woman who had faith that just wouldn’t quit. It’s inspiring insight for those times when we’re ready to throw in the towel.

Gratitude is a natural response to God’s goodness—but does it show up in the way we give?

Many pastors wish their congregation knew that giving isn’t just about meeting a church budget—it’s a vital part of growing as a disciple of Jesus. Today, Leo Sabo joins us to unpack three things your pastor wishes you knew about giving.

Leo Sabo is the President of the Christian Stewardship Network (CSN). He has spent the last 22 years working with couples, individuals, and church leaders, helping them understand and manage their finances according to biblical principles.

Effective conversations between church members and leadership aren’t just about meeting financial goals. Because God owns everything and we are His stewards, money decisions are both practical and deeply spiritual. How we handle what God has entrusted to us reveals our hearts and our motives.

Pastors understand the connection between generosity and discipleship. Trusting God with our money is a significant part of our spiritual journey—and once we embrace that, giving becomes a joyful act of worship.

Stewardship is holistic, involving our time, talents, and treasures. A love-inspired steward sees everything—not just what we give—as belonging to God. Pastors want you to know that giving isn’t a “membership fee” to the church. It’s an offering to God, through the church, out of gratitude and worship.

Stewardship means responsibly managing the resources God has entrusted to us, including money. Many churches offer classes and programs to help members budget, save, avoid debt, and invest wisely—all grounded in biblical principles.

Jesus spoke often about money and possessions because He knew our relationship with them reveals the condition of our hearts. Faithful stewardship naturally leads to generosity, reinforcing the spiritual benefits of giving.

In an era when people are increasingly concerned about financial transparency, pastors want to ensure that members understand that the responsible use of donations is a priority. Church leaders have both a responsibility and an opportunity to demonstrate accountability.

When you give, you’re funding ministry—teaching, worship, community support, and the staff who make it all possible. Every act of generosity fuels the church’s mission to serve both its members and the surrounding community.

• My 22-year-old son is graduating from college and starting his first job next year. What retirement planning advice should I give him—especially when it comes to private investments outside of his workplace retirement plan?
• I’m concerned that the housing market may be headed for a downturn similar to 2008. Here in Indiana, I see many new houses being built that most people can’t afford, along with more foreclosures and repossessions. Why isn’t anyone sounding the alarm? Am I overreacting, or do you see the same risks?
• I’m 61 with $300,000 in a Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) and about a year from retirement. Should I adjust my investments, move my money, or make any other changes as I approach retirement?
• My wife and I want to relocate from Florida to Colorado, where we already own a piece of land. We currently have two Florida homes with mortgages and have invested $80,000 in a Christian women’s network. We’d like to speed up our move and build our Colorado home, but I’m unsure how to align our finances to make it happen. What’s the best way forward?<

We’ve all felt wounded by an unkind word or a subtle attack. God Himself is grieved when we sin. In this message from Ephesians 4, Pastor Lutzer outlines five transformations that conversion should produce in our lives— especially in how we relate to the Spirit. We can please the Holy Spirit or grieve Him with both our actions and our thoughts.
