On this final episode, Tim Challies joins David Wollen to tell the stories of William Carey and Amy Carmichael.

Tim Challies joins David Wollen in this episode reflecting on Gospel advancement in China through the life and legacy of Hudson Taylor.

It began in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago, but soon the church was persecuted. The early church was dispersed throughout the Roman Empire and, eventually, Rome became the epicenter of global Christianity.

Your Christian heritage extends beyond your family tree to the early church. United in Christ, the church’s story is also your story.

Why did Jesus appear on that mountaintop in front of his disciples? Why did Jesus identify himself with Moses, the greatest prophet of the Old Testament? These are questions with answers in God’s Word

It all began on a mountain for the greatest Old Testament prophet. And it ended on a mountain. Except, for Moses, the story wasn’t over. There was another mountain ahead.

The final moments in the life of Moses were on a mountain with God. There we see God’s judgment and grace all at once. Even Moses had fallen short, but the greater Moses would not.

For those who are anxious for any reason, this episode is an invitation to take a deep breath, and remember where all power and authority is vested.

What do you do when you reach a mountaintop? You take a picture. The moment is worth remembering. It’s the same in the story of Moses which stretches from the Old Testament into the New.

The Exodus event is the turning point and, really, the beginning of the nation of Israel. All of this is pointing us to God’s ultimate deliverance through Christ.

The story of the Exodus sets the pattern for God’s deliverance throughout Scripture, but it becomes most visible when you look at the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

When God sent Moses to Pharaoh to deliver the people of Israel, it wasn’t a political battle, but a supernatural one. And there was never any question about the outcome.

From the Nile River to the Burning Bush, Moses foreshadows Jesus in many ways. But we also see how limited he was as a man. Thankfully there is a Greater Moses who succeeded where Moses failed.

In the Old Testament, no one looms larger than Moses. Through exile, redemption, and deliverance, God worked salvation for His people through Moses.

Psalm 23 is about trusting the Good Shepherd through life’s challenges. Like a guide on a journey, He provides what we truly need. Even in the hard times, He gives us peace.

Psalm 23 is cherished by millions worldwide, offering deep comfort in God's role as our shepherd. But its promises are reserved for those who follow Him by faith.

Trauma overwhelms our ability to cope, but in John 10 the Good Shepherd, calls us by name, offers protection, healing, and purpose. In Him, we find hope and peace.

Is dependency good? As a Christian, the answer is, “Yes.” We are sheep. And we find no rest outside the presence of our Good Shepherd.

Parents and grandparents often struggle to know how to support children facing fear, pain, or loss. So, how can we lead them to The Good Shepherd in dark times?

Hands, feet, voice, and heart. These are all ways the body of Christ gives witness to the power of God and the salvation and hope that only come through Jesus Christ.

Jesus speaks peace, gives peace, and as the Bible says, “...he himself is our peace.” Today, He extends and applies that peace in all the storms of life for those who belong to Him.

Storms come in many forms, and every believer in Jesus should expect them. Storms are the norm. But more importantly, we are never alone. Jesus is with us and holds us secure.

Traveling through hurricane-stricken Florida, David Wollen shares firsthand what he’s seeing in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton and rescue relief.

The storms of life come in many forms, but they all have something in common. They remind us how needy we are, how greatly we depend upon God’s mercies, and how truly present the Lord Jesus is to us.

Two historic hurricanes struck in two weeks, leaving Florida battered and Asheville, NC powerless. Join David Wollen on Haven Today for updates from survivors, pastors, and first responders.
