Haven Today

For generations, Christian homes treasured two books: the Bible and a hymnal. In today’s digital age, could it be time for the hymnal to make a comeback?

For a great many things, ancient and timeless is better than new and trendy. The great hymns of the faith—old and new—deliver on that because they echo Scripture itself. In this episode, David Wollen traces how a modern hymn from Keith & Kristyn Getty, helps us see the picture Revelation describes as God’s people gather around the throne singing his praise.

From the earliest times in the Bible, believers have sung gospel truth set to melody–-songs both old and new, historic and modern. In our world today, this matters more than ever.

What’s the difference between a worship song and a hymn? It’s getting harder to tell these days, and maybe that’s not such a bad thing.

The habits we practice shape who we become. That includes praying and fasting. But neither will benefit us if we don’t take seriously what Jesus has to say about them.

In North America, nine out of ten people walk around with a trillion dollar device in their pocket or purse. The smartphone is designed to make money by selling your attention.

Self-help is a popular genre of books, but not exactly a Christian idea. But here’s the trouble, in this age of distraction, we do need some help. Where do we find it?

What if the very habits that fill your day could also bring you freedom from stress and anxiety?

Two natures in one person. It’s a mysterious truth the Bible clearly teaches. One without the other is a departure from God’s Word.

Was there ever a time when Jesus was not? Seventeen hundred years ago, a false teacher named Arius says, “Yes.” How did the church take a stand against this heretical teaching?

On this episode, Nate Pickowicz joins David Wollen for a close look at several key words and phrases in The Nicene Creed.

What comes to mind when you hear the word “creed?” A rock band? A motto to live by? Or, “I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth…”?

Seventeen hundred years ago, a false teaching about Christ was rapidly spreading through churches. Christian leaders met and studied Scripture. The result was a 180 word defense of the Gospel.

What should Christians think about AI? Is it good or bad? Should we use it or not? And should we be afraid?

Has the AI revolution brought us to a “Tower of Babel” moment? There are striking parallels. Now more than ever, we need God’s wisdom for the moment.

Science fiction historically envisioned that AI would excel at factual precision but lack creativity. Turns out, it’s precisely the opposite. Humanity has created AI in its own image.

In this episode, David Wollen joins a panel of AI experts to explore how Christians can respond to the rapid rise of artificial intelligence with wisdom, courage, and hope in Christ.

AI is no longer just a trend—it’s a reality shaping our world. What should the Church do in response?

What comes to mind when you think of your eternal future? Do you picture floating in the clouds with angels playing harps? Or life in a physical body with your feet on the ground?

We may be human, but how well do we understand what it is that makes us human? It’s a question with surprising ripple effects, including whether your view of heaven matches that of the Bible.

On this episode, David Wollen and special guest Mark Meynell discuss topics ranging from transhumanism to what it looks like to trust God in this moment in history.

It’s a question every Christian is likely already grappling with in modern culture, and probably without even knowing it. What makes us human? So much hinges on the answer to this simple question.

What does it mean to be human—really? In a time when AI blurs the lines between man and machine, the question of our identity has never felt more urgent.

Few Christians know how to speak Hebrew. Praise the Lord for the accurate Bible translations we have, but there are some things we miss. This is true in the name of God Yayweh Tsidkenu.

The LORD is a Warrior. The LORD is your Healer. In Exodus 15, God reveals both names—strength for the battle and healing for the hurt.
