Episodes
I'm a recent widow. I don't want to get depressed, so I'm wondering if I can start dating again? Did God predestine individuals whom He knew ahead of time would eventually believe? Or is there a simpler message in Paul's epistles when it comes to predestination?
Do we need to continually come to Jesus? What does it mean that His yoke is easy? Is God's affection for us impacted by our attitudes and actions? I may have a big career decision to make soon. I'm not sure what to do!
Are You Exhausted Doing What Jesus Never Asked?
What if some of the most familiar Christian advice is keeping you from enjoying Christ? In this message, Andrew challenges the pressure to rededicate your life, put God first, live by the Ten Commandments, and agonize over finding God's perfect plan for every decision. You don't need another promise, checklist, or formula. You've been joined to Jesus. He isn't merely your pri...

What are your thoughts on James 5 with regard to prayer and healing and forgiveness? Who are the two mothers in Galatians 4 and what do they represent? What was the original sin? And what does it mean for us today?
Did James and Paul disagree? Did Paul complain about James in Galatians 2?Did James write his epistle with little understanding of grace? How do we best understand faith and works in James 2? Was James talking about doing the works of the Law to be saved? Did James write a legalistic letter in Acts 15, being ignorant of salvation by faith? Did James persuade Paul to go against the gospel in Acts 21? What is antinomianism? When we o...
When Jesus talks about "paradise," where is that exactly? I've been pastoring for six years, and I'm already burned out. What should I do? I'm finally discovering my new identity in Christ, and it's exciting!
Can you explain how God's perfect love casts out fear? Someone told me I need a second baptism, a baptism of the Spirit. Am I missing something? How do we explain the punishment of those who ridiculed Elisha in 2 Kings 2?
Do we need to re-dedicate our lives to God when we fail? When we share the gospel, should we mention the new covenant? I never knew how great the gospel was until now! Am I wrong to pull out gospel truths from popular country songs in the 70s?
How can some people be in church so long yet miss the message of Jesus? Why does Paul say "do not even eat with such a person"? My cousin wants to drink poison and pick up snakes because of Mark 16. What are your thoughts? What teaching should we look for in a healthy church environment? Why was Jesus so bluntly honest and direct with the Pharisees?
What If Trying Harder is the Problem?
When it comes to overcoming temptation or loving God, trying harder can actually work against you. In this message, Andrew reveals why more rules, discipline, and willpower are never the answer. You're dead to sin, alive to God, and filled with His life. Discover how grace teaches you to say no, why you already love God with an incorruptible love, and how real victory comes when you st...
At what point do we become so obsessed with trusting God that the fruit of the Spirit just automatically flows out of us? And what about the temptation of lust and resisting sin? My pastor says our hearts are still dirty, but I think they're new and clean. What's your take? I'm still struggling with persistent thoughts of bitterness and resentment. What can I do?
I was saved about a year ago, and lately my family and I have started to experience shunning (rejection) because of our faith. Can you help me with this? Why were Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration? What are your thoughts on Calvinism and its doctrines?
Why did Jesus say to "work hard" or "strive" to enter through the narrow door? Why does Paul talk about "running a race" and trying to "win"? Does daily confession cause God to forgive us more?
Are we getting closer to God? Where do learning and growing fit in? Does our soul go to Heaven right away when we die (or only our spirit)? My friends are shocked that I don't ask God for forgiveness every night! Does Romans 8:1 have an "if" clause in it? Or is there no condemnation for us, period?
Why did Jesus tell Mary not to touch him? If I don't move to Texas, will God forgive me? I wonder if I have committed the unforgivable sin!
Do you need to "die to self"? Deny yourself? Die daily? So much time in these truths has meant so much freedom for me! My two sons took their inheritance and haven't spoken to me in decades. I have forgiven them and pray for them! How is our union with Christ lived out? Can we really be ourselves?
What If the Christian Life Isn't About Fixing Yourself?

You're not becoming who God wants; you're discoveri...
