Michael from Ontario, Canada called in to our radio program to ask for a good definition of legalism.

In this short clip, I talk with Michael about the dangers of legalism. I also share what we need to believe concerning rightness with God in order to avoid legalistic pitfalls.

To whom is the book of James written? To Christians only, or to unbelievers, or to both?

And what should we make of James 4 when it addresses sinners who need to be cleansed and have their hearts purified and draw near to God?

In the short clip, I address this important question.

Enjoy!

Some churches and denominations seem to wave a magic wand over Scripture, affirming lifestyles that are clearly not of God. Maybe you have a friend or family member engaged in a way of life that you know is sinful, and it has you wondering if they’re actually a believer.

Can we always judge a book by its cover? After all, only God knows the heart. We may express our disapproval of behavior not aligned with the New Testament, but nav...

With earthly contracts, there are two or more parties involved, and sometimes there’s a cancellation clause. This clause lets one party back out of the deal if certain conditions are not met.

Daniel from Louisiana called in to our radio program to ask if the New Covenant has a cancellation clause. Is there any way that we can willfully back out, break the covenant, and thereby lose our salvation?

In this short clip, I address this im...

Cameron called in to ask about the “perfection” we have in Christ versus the “godliness” we’re called to in our attitudes and actions.

How do these two fit together?

In this episode, I address these two concepts and also talk about God’s answer to perfectionism.

Has church membership ever felt more like a maze of requirements than the Gospel? A caller recently asked about her church requiring membership to take communion. Does fellowship really depend on formal paperwork?

In this , I dive into what it truly means to be part of the body of Christ. We’re talking about an organism, not an organization. Hebrews encourages us to gather but doesn’t mention forms, sign-ups, classes, or tithing quo...

Jack from Arkansas called in to our radio program to ask about temptation:
  • Is temptation a mental sin?
  • Was Jesus really tempted like we are?
  • What do we really learn from Jesus’ life if He was God and we aren’t?

In this short clip, I address all of these questions. If you often find yourself bombarded with temptations, I hope this is especially encouraging to you!

Wendy from Boston called in to tell me that she has been taught that some believers will be disappointed in Heaven, because they won’t get as many rewards as other Christians.

Is this true? Will there be disappointment in Heaven? And what about the idea of differing quantities of rewards?

In this brief call, I address Wendy’s fears and highlight the truth. I hope this is an encouragement to you.

Jesus said connection with Him is easy and light, and that we’d even find relaxation in Him. But how can that even happen in the chaos of life?

A caller recently asked if Christianity should be restful. The short answer: YES! The Gospel is designed to bring us rest – true, lasting relaxation in Jesus. But getting there isn’t always a straight line. We deal with pain and suffering, and the flesh and the Spirit clash like a battle roy...

We are totally forgiven for all our sins- past, present, and future. And we don’t have to ask for forgiveness for each sin, wondering if God will answer our request.

So what is a healthy response when we’ve committed a sin? In this short clip, I address this practical question.

I hope this serves as a beautiful reminder of the finished work of Christ and the new desires He has given us.

Grace is currently grieving the loss of someone close to her. But she has been told by others to “just think positive.” And it’s not working.

So Grace called in to our radio program to ask about the concept of positive thinking and to get a biblical perspective on it.

How do we grieve? Does God grieve with us? Is it okay to feel “negative” things? It is these questions and more that are addressed in this short clip.

I hope it encourag...

Are you hesitant to celebrate your new heart? Those embarrassing, nasty thoughts can make you doubt its trustworthiness. Ezekiel 36 promises a new heart and spirit, but does the New Testament back this up? Are we really walking around with a righteous heart, or is it still deceitful? Or a work in process?

Join me as we explore numerous New Testament passages revealing the truth about your heart transformation and God’s Spirit in you...

Tony from Cleveland called in to ask about the believer’s heart and how Jesus’ words in Matthew 5 fits in.

This is such an important question, because it highlights the difference between the heart before and after salvation.

I hope this is an encouragement to you to continue living from your heart where Christ lives!

The book of James tells us that God is not tempted by sin. However, Hebrews says that Jesus was tempted in every way.

At first glance, this may seem like a real contradiction, so Chris from Akron, Ohio called in to ask about it.

In this episode, I address Chris’s concern and discuss the temptations that Jesus faced.

I hope this is an encouraging reminder that we have a Savior who empathizes with our weaknesses.

A recent caller asked about the allure of the Orthodox Church, with its ancient ceremonies and traditions. Sure, it sounds appealing – who wouldn’t want something that feels deeper than the usual Sunday service? But just because something’s been around for ages doesn’t make it right.

Remember the Galatians? They got duped by mixing law and grace, and we wouldn’t follow their lead just because they’re ancient. The real question is, w...

How do we define sin without clinging to the Ten Commandments? A caller posed this question, and I had to respond – imagine trying to use the Law to keep track of what’s right and wrong! It’s laughable to think our moral compass should be limited to what’s etched in stone.

Here’s the deal: Christianity isn’t about avoiding a checklist of sins. It’s about expressing Christ in us. The Spirit of God is eager to lead us, producing fruit...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
