Why are we shocked when the world acts like the world? Sinful behavior—falsehood, violence, rebellion—is the nature of fallen humanity. As 1 Corinthians 1:18 reminds us, “the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing.” Only those who are spiritual can understand the things of the Spirit. In this episode, Tom Mann encourages believers not to be surprised, but to respond with grace: kind, tenderhearted, and forgi...
Big Hurts
Some of the deepest wounds in life come not from enemies, but from those closest to us. Psalm 55 reveals how David faced betrayal and heartbreak, yet chose to cast his burden on the Lord. In this episode of Making It Clear, Tom Mann shares how God’s will is always stronger than our feelings—and how we can find strength, even in the middle of pain.

Cattle on a Thousand Hills
Psalm 50 reminds us that God doesn’t need anything from us—He already owns it all: “For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.” True worship isn’t about outward obligation, but thanksgiving and surrender. In this episode of Making It Clear, Tom Mann shares how God’s ownership gives us perspective, security, and freedom to call Him our Father.

Humility isn’t weakness—it’s a surrendered strength that places our trust fully in God. In this episode of Making It Clear, we explore what it means to bow low before the Lord so He can lift us up. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 7:14 and James 4:10, we reflect on God’s promise to hear our prayers, heal our land, and carry the burdens we cannot bear on our own.

What we surrender, He restores—often in ways we could never imagine.

In When God Speaks, we look at the story of young Samuel in 1 Samuel 3—how God chose to reveal His word to a child who was willing to listen.
