Jesus prepared for ministry by 40 days alone… in the desert. No people, smartphones, churches, or creature comforts. Later during His earthly ministry years Jesus would often slip away to isolated places to spend extended time alone with His Father. This episode looks at the blessings of going away alone with God in the desert.

Hebrews 12:28-29 tell us to worship the Lord “with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.”  Would you say that the church you attend worships with “reverence and awe”? Is the fear of the Lord as present as the celebration of His grace? How does the loud rock music that many churches offer affect us? A look at these issues and more.

Every week Christians in trusted leadership positions, including pastors, are exposed and even arrested for sexual sin. The outside world is watching and sees the sin that many churches try to hide, or avoid.

Most of the people who come to us for help are married, in an age range from their forties to their sixties. By then the damage has been done and their marriage is in pieces. By God’s grace we see a lot of healing, but we need to go beyond damage control and get to the roots of the porn epidemic. Most men and women are getting hooked on pornography anywhere between ages 8 to 10. This show lo...

How do we receive the love, grace, and forgiveness of a God we can’t see? When a man or woman has been trapped in shame, sin, or the lies of the enemy, receiving the love of God can seem like a mystery, even hopeless if we’ve allowed our failures and sin to define us. In this show Mike dives into the process of receiving the gift of grace, beginning with the issues that block the flow...

Unfortunately many Christians are told “Stop it!” is the answer when they go for help for freedom from sin. Telling someone “Stop it!” ignores the battles with the flesh and the enemy, fails to equip the sexually broken on how to be an overcomer, and can drive them further into isolation. It also reveals the arrogance and lack of love of the person who dispenses such advice...

As our world free-falls into a moral abyss, what are the answers we’re hearing from Christian leadership on how we should approach the times we’re in? Much of what’s being said misses the mark. In 1938 Vance Havner wrote of the lack of a sense of urgency in the church; in this episode we look at the action steps to take that will make a difference.

Mike and Dan have an open discussion about the church in Italy and the US.

Julie T shares her journey to healing from a marriage that was torn by her husband’s sexual sin.

While Covid has been the loudest story, the story behind the story has gotten worse: The civil war is raging. Porn and sexual sin are a massive problem, in and outside of the church. “Positive and encouraging” has luke-warmed the church. Most churches are prayerless, performance driven, and groom believers to be isolated. The occult is widespread. People aren’t equipped for spiritual b...

What happens when men don’t take action, with examples given from Adam’s non-response in the garden, quotes from “A Woman in Berlin,” and other stories. If you’re in bondage to sexual or any other kind of sin, there is no magic bullet that will set you free in a moment. You must take action. It’s the same in the church; sermons and doctrine aren’t enough....
