Good Call with Andrew Farley

Where do these thoughts come from? A listener, Debbie, asked if Satan influences our minds by placing sinful thoughts in our heads. While spiritual attacks from demonic forces are real, demons are not omnipresent. Still, there’s another source of sinful thoughts that doesn’t come from you either. In this episode, I share how recognizing this source will revolutionize the way you deal with temptati...

When we’re growing in God’s grace, we’re growing in our knowledge of salvation, forgiveness, and righteousness. But what about growing in fellowship? Is fellowship with God something we need to maintain? Do we risk losing fellowship? That was Phillip’s question, a recent caller. Check out this episode in which I address whether we can fall in and out of fellowship with God. You’ll find peace, hope...

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches we’re to love and pray for our enemies. Jeff, a recent caller, shared his struggle to apply this in a situation where people are harming each other. In the same sermon, Jesus also teaches we should cut off body parts, give away our possessions, and be perfect like God. Was He being literal, or is the point to try our best and hope God grades on a curve? In...

There’s a popular idea that the Gospel is only for a pre-selected group that God has predestined and chosen to believe. Is the invitation to salvation limited to an elite few, or can anyone and everyone call on the name of the Lord and be saved?

Teaching that focuses on self-improvement, sin management, or progressive forgiveness will raise red flags when you begin to understand how big God’s grace really is. Kris, a recent caller, is facing this dilemma in her church. Her eyes have been opened to New Covenant truths, and she’s finding herself correcting legalism her kids hear in the church service. Does this mean a change of church might...

Part of the grief in losing loved ones is the thought of never seeing them again. JoAnn, a recent caller, asked about teaching she heard suggesting believers might not recognize those we love in Heaven. In this episode, hear the relief in her voice as I share the great news for believers found in 1 Thessalonians 4 and why we don’t grieve like those without Christ. You can be confident you’ll see a...

Is there a purpose for believers to be fasting today? Does what we eat – or not eat – help us gain favor with God? Is it part of a formula to help our prayers get heard? Listen to today's episode where I share what the New Testament letters say (or don’t say!) about fasting and the role of food and drink in the Kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 13 tells us that love is patient, kind, forgiving, not jealous, and more. So, if you want to be more loving, do you try harder to do all these things? Or is divine love something you already have inside you? Connect with Andrew here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrAndrewFarley Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drandrewfar.. .

Are Christians destined to be prosperous financially? Can we experience guaranteed healing if we just have more faith? Some believe godliness is a means to physical health and financial gain, but is this a realistic expectation?

When believers sin, do we need to ask for forgiveness? And what about repentance? There are many great reasons to turn from sin, but getting more forgiveness isn’t one of them! So, what’s our motivation for not letting sin reign in our lives? Connect with Andrew here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrAndrewFarley Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drandrewfar.. .

Some believe spiritual humility is about being taken down a notch by God. They say He wants to crush you, or break you, before using you. But what if you’re already humble by nature? And what if God actually wants to build you up and exalt you? Connect with Andrew here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrAndrewFarley Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drandrewfar.. .

Forgiveness is one of the most asked about topics on our platform, and it’s no wonder. The religious world has invented concepts like judicial or positional forgiveness, keeping “short accounts” with God, falling in and out of fellowship, and other forgiveness jargon like paternal, experiential, forensic, relational, patriarchal, or progressive forgiveness. In this short clip, I share a half-dozen...

Philippians 4:6 encourages us not to be anxious about anything, but even Jesus felt physical stress and agony to the point of sweating blood! So how do you unload your anxiety and experience the peace of God? Connect with Andrew here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrAndrewFarley Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drandrewfar.. .

Tithing is one of the most popular topics we receive questions about. Will, a recent caller, asked about a radio minister teaching from Malachi that if we fail to give God our first fruits, we’re robbing God and He’ll take our blessings back from us.

To what extent do we have free will to choose salvation? If God’s drawing certain people to Himself, does that mean He’s not drawing others? The idea of predestination has some thinking God randomly picks certain people for Heaven and others for Hell. In this short video clip, I address the twisted doctrine that only some are chosen and clear up what we’re actually predestined for! Connect with An...

As new creations in Christ, what role do the heart and “the flesh” play in our decision-making? Today, I address whether the heart of a believer is a neutral decision-making device, how it’s distinct from our will, and the difference between being in the flesh and walking by the flesh. Understanding that your heart is holy and blameless even as your mind and attitudes are being renewed can change...

A recent listener called to ask about Luke 13 and Jesus’ instructions to make every effort to enter through the narrow door. Jesus states some will knock but be told, “I don’t know you.” Does this mean some believers might be sent to Hell? In this episode, I share why you can have confidence that you truly know Christ, you’re united as one with Him, and you don’t have to inch any closer to God! Co...

Many believers wonder if their choices fall within God’s will. If we make a terrible decision, will we miss out on His perfect plan? In this episode I share what the Bible says about His will for you, how to know you’re in His plan, and why you can stop worrying about falling in and out!

Are you only forgiven to the same degree you forgive others? Connect with Andrew here:

When we think about closeness with God, we often look at our recent effort and performance. But is closeness with God something we earn or something gifted to us? (John 17:21)
