In the 2022 State of Theology research by Ligonier and Lifeway Ministries show that trends over time and the 2022 survey results reveal an increasingly belief among evangelicals that God is pleased by worship that comes from those outside the Christian faith. Let's find out what the Bible says! // Everything you need is here Included in that link is a list of resources and references I use in this podcast and can help you grow deeper in your faith as well.

U.S. adults increasingly reject the divine authorship of the Bible, relegating it to the same category as other religious writings and purportedly sacred texts. Maybe that’s you? Holding this view makes it easy to cherry pick biblical teaching that that resonates us with while simultaneously rejecting any biblical teaching that is out of step with our own personal views or broader cultural values. It makes faith in Jesus so much more a struggle. Numerous biblical passages testify to Scripture co...
The cultural value of individualism makes it unsurprising that most Americans deem church membership as optional for Christians. According to an annual study by Ligonier Ministries and Lifeway Ministries on the State of Theology 68% of evangelicals believe that every Christian has an obligation to join a local church. There are a few verses that speak to church membership but in today’s verse will help further answer the question “what is the church?” // Everything you need is here Included in t...
According to an annual study by Ligonier Ministries and Lifeway Ministries on the State of Theology, most U.S. adults and almost two-thirds of evangelicals believe that humans are born innocent in the eyes of God. Maybe you fall into that category? What does the Bible truly teach on this? That’s the point of this podcast after all right? At the root of this is a foundational truth for life. // Everything you need is here Included in that link is a list of resources and references I use in this p...
As we look at ourselves and at the world, it is clear that human beings, along with the rest of creation, undergo frequent changes. But does this principle of change apply to God as well? According to an annual study by Ligonier Ministries and Lifeway Ministries on the State of Theology…a majority of adults in the U.S. believe that God learns and adapts to different circumstances. Over half of evangelicals believe this statement. So, what does the Bible really say? // Everything you need is here...
Do you ever wonder if your deepest desires and dreams matter to God? For me, I feel like I don’t even deserve to ask God for things I desire or dream for. Like who am I to ask for such a thing? God you’ve done enough for me, how dare I be so selfish? That’s my perspective though. I know it’s not biblical but it is how I’ve felt and still feel a lot of the time. Today’s verse provides clarity, to the truth the God DOES in fact care about your dreams and desires and challenges how we think about t...
How long can we trust God before we end up trying to take control? How long do I have to feel this anxiety? How long do I have to be afraid? How long do I have to wait before he heals me? Where is my blessing? I believe in His promises but where are they? How do you “have faith” when things in your life seem so far from where you think they should be? // Everything you need is here Included in that link is a list of resources and references I use in this podcast and can help you grow deeper in y...
Whether it is your family or your workplace, do you know those people that just walk in, and their joy just lights up a room? Can think of others where they are just joyless; they are just negative and it rubs off. This is even a reminder for me to take stock on how many joyful people are around me…or not. Today’s verses tell us that real joy can exist outside of relationships and standard of living. // Everything you need is here Included in that link is a list of resources and references I use...
What is that one thing in your life that seems too difficult to overcome? Just focus on one thing. I’ll ask you more guided questions. What is this one thing that is keeping you from moving forward? Or moving at all? That makes you want to quit or avoid? These can be addictions, pain, grief, illness, financial insecurity, depression, anxiety but don’t stop at that, get really specific about this one thing even though there may be many. What is this stronghold? What is this fortress that’s keepin...
What do you think of when you think of judgment from God? Some picture natural disasters or plagues. Or spectacular economic collapse. Either way, most people's conception of divine judgment is dramatic and devastating. Yet more often God chooses very simple and yet even more deeply devastating ways to judge His people. // Everything you need is here Included in that link is a list of resources and references I use in this podcast and can help you grow deeper in your faith as well.

When it comes to fear, some people never want to admit that they’re afraid. Fear of man in our cultural context can be subtle and we can easily deny that it has gripped our hearts. We all lock our doors and glance nervously around us when we’re passing through certain neighborhoods in the city. But the fear that causes us to be hypocritical or to avoid confrontation at all costs, the fear of rejection or shame, can be just as paralyzing and real, and yet we can call it other names – being consid...
The Bible is that it's a brutally realistic book. I'm grateful for that. It doesn't cover up sin or minimize suffering. Some Christians act like it does. Some will attack the Bible for condoning rape and slavery and murder, but the Bible doesn't condone those actions; it just shows them for what they are. In today's passage, we see two heart-breaking "horror show" incidents: A woman who has had a discharge of blood for twelve years and a young girl who dies at twelve years old. Twelve years is a...
