Helen was taught that she no longer needs mind renewal because she has the mind of Christ.
We do have the mind of Christ. But the Bible also tells us that our mind is constantly being renewed. So how do these two ideas fit together?
In this episode, I address Helen’s confusion and clarify what’s going on as we learn and grow in Christ.

Everyone loves to hear that God is gracious and kind, but there’s so much more to grace than feel-good generalities. Ever wondered how to explain what makes God’s grace and the New Covenant so incredible?
Warning: Diving deeper into the love and grace of God can ruffle some feathers. Grace can feel dangerous – even offensive – to some. But when we grasp our once-for-all forgiveness, freedom from the Law (yes, even the Ten Commandmen...

If Old Testament worshipers had the benefit of a once-for-all sacrifice, they would have no longer had consciousness of their sins:
”Otherwise, would [the sacrifices] not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins?” —Hebrews 10:2
Robert called in to ask what it means to not have consciousness of sins and how we get to that place. In this episode, I shar...

Many people wonder if their past mistakes are too much for God to handle. A recent caller shared his struggle with finding peace because of past sins, and I had some thoughts to share. Is it the size of your sins or the size of your Savior that truly matters?
Romans 5 assures us we have peace with God through Jesus Christ. Yet, we often wrestle with the notion that our sins are deal-breakers. But here’s the truth: God isn’t keeping ...

We’ve all seen it – the athlete scores a goal and points to Heaven, or someone shouts, “To God be the glory!” But have you ever wondered if God is really waiting for us to pump up His glory meter?
In this episode, I flip the script on the concept of giving God glory. Spoiler alert: God doesn’t need anything from you, and He already has all the glory! That’s right, He’s not sitting around waiting for you to send more glory His way.

Marcy called in to our radio program to ask about this controversial passage:
But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons. (1 Timothy 4:1)
Fall away from the faith? What does this mean? Is it about believers who are distracted? Is it about loss of salvation? Or does it mean something else?

If you’re living under grace, you might wonder if the Old Testament is even relevant now. A recent caller asked if the Old Testament is still important, or if it just adds confusion.

If we’re totally forgiven, then is God’s grace a “license to sin”? And doesn’t it seem like so many believers are sinning just fine without this “license”? Does God’s grace somehow inspire us to sin even more?

Scripture tells us that the “day of the Lord” will come like a thief in the night. But the uncertain timing of Christ’s return and the final judgment can leave us uneasy, wondering if we’re truly prepared.
Many think of readiness as a checklist of activities or behaviors. But if being prepared required action on our part, Christianity would be a pretty scary proposition! Thankfully, the New Testament reveals that believers are ready...

Paul tells us everyone who belongs to God has the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9). John tells us everyone who has eternal life has Jesus (1 Jn. 5:12). And Ephesians says we’ve been blessed with every spiritual blessing.

Trudy from Utah heard in a sermon recently that God looks at her “as if” she’s righteous. It gave here the impression that God is faking Himself out when it comes to her.
