Truth for Today with Terry Fant

God Himself is the present help for those who worship Him. We live in a world filled with things competing for our worship. Daniel 3 shows us three men who refused to bow to anything or anyone other than the one true King. Their faithfulness reminds us that worship is ultimately about who sits on the throne of our lives. When we choose our own way over God’s way, we are placing ourselves on the th...

Join us as we discover what is necessary for true revival and how a genuine pursuit of God transforms our priorities, confronts our compe...

No one is too far gone for the grace of God. In 2 Chronicles 33:1–16, we see the powerful story of King Manasseh—a man who led others into sin, rejected God’s warnings, and found himself in a place of complete brokenness. Yet when Manasseh humbled himself and cried out to God, the Lord graciously heard him and restored him. This message reminds us that following our own hearts can lead us to desol...

Our rebellion may change our condition, but it can never change God's character. Failure is something every one of us knows. Whether it's in our marriage, our family, our faith, or our daily walk with Christ, we've all fallen short. But our failures are never the end of the story because God's mercy never fails. If you've ever wondered whether you've gone too far, failed too many times, or drifted...

Adversity is inevitable—but it doesn't have to stop us. In this episode, we finish our journey through Nehemiah 4 and discover powerful lessons for persevering through adversity.

The enemy will attack our identity, ou...

In this episode we continue our journey through Nehemiah 4 and explore what it means to persevere through adversity. Following God does not mean opposition will disappear—in fact, we should expect the enemy to continue resisting the work God is doing in our lives. But how do we remain faithful when the attacks continue? We must stay watchful. Through prayer, the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, and t...

How should followers of Jesus respond when adversity comes? In this episode of Truth For Today with Terry Fant, Terry continues the Persevering Through Adversity series by exploring the biblical “rules of engagement” found in Nehemiah 4.

The Christian life isn’t a playground. It’s a battlefield. But as believers, we’re not fighting for victory; we’re fighting from the victory Jesus has already won. In this episode, we explore one of Satan’s greatest strategies: causing believers to doubt who they are in Christ and what God can do through them. If you’ve ever felt disqualified by your past, overwhelmed by your weaknesses, or discou...

In this special episode, filmed from Eagle Rock Camp in the mountains of East Tennessee, we sit down with Madalynne Baxter to discuss one of the most powerful passages in Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:18–21.

God's love never fails—even when we do. In this message from Hosea 1–3, we see a powerful picture of God's unfailing love for His people. Through Hosea's story, we're reminded that sin is more than breaking rules—it's choosing lesser loves over the One who loves us perfectly. Yet even in our unfaithfulness, God continues to pursue us with grace, offering forgiveness, restoration, and a fresh start...

In this episode, we look at the calling of Matthew in Matthew 9 and discover an incredible truth: Jesus doesn’t define us by our failures, our past, or the labels others place on us. While everyone else saw Matthew as a traitor and a sinner, Jesus saw a man with value, purpose, and kingdom potential. The same is true for you. No matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done, Jesus sees you differen...

In this episode, we walk through the powerful story of 1 Kings 18–19, where victory is followed by vulnerability, and calling is tested in the quiet places of despair. Elijah’s cave becomes a mirror for our own seasons of anxiety, discouragement, and isolation. In these seasons,...

If you've ever struggled with disappointment, fear, isolation, depression, re...

How long will you limp between two opinions?
