In 1912 the Titanic sank in under three hours. Everything the passengers trusted to be solid and permanent disappeared beneath the surface. But above the chaos — unchanged and unmoved by everything happening below — the stars were out. The North Star exactly where it had always been. That is immutability. God never changes. Not in His nature. Not in His character. Not in His promises. Not in His l...

Theology is not just for scholars. It is the most practical thing a follower of Jesus can pursue.

There is nowhere you can go where He is not already fully present — not the highest heaven, not the lowest depth, not the darkest darkness.

Why Samuel told Saul that obedience is better than sacrifi...

And what Elisha's servant saw when God opened his eyes to the army already surrounding the mountain. This i...

Most people know Jesus as one or the other. Gentle shepherd or coming King. But Scripture presents Him as both simultaneously — and the tension between those two images is not a contradiction. It is the most complete portrait of Jesus in all of Scripture. In this episode we trace the Lion of Judah from Genesis 49 all the way to Revelation 19 and the Lamb who was slain from Isaiah 53 to John 1:29 —...

God knows everything about you. Every thought. Every word before you speak it. Every moment of your life before it happens. Every part of you that you have never shown anyone else. And He loves what He sees anyway. In this Thursday special Travis Boyette dives deep into the attribute of omniscience — God is all knowing. What does it actually mean that God knows everything? And why is that not a th...

Most people have a vague sense of who God is. This series changes that. In this intro episode Travis Boyette walks through ten attributes of God — omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, immutability, holiness, sovereignty, love, grace, justice and faithfulness — and explains why knowing who God actually is changes everything about how you live your faith every single day. This is the foundation f...
