Some people say it’s all part of a bigger plan. Others say it’s just blind chance. The Bible tells us that we WERE born for a reason—and it tells us what that reason IS.   Spoiler: it’s a greater purpose than most people (even many Christians!) imagine.   Join Joel Meeker as he shares what the inspired Word of God reveals about a question the human race has wrestled with for thousands of years:  ...

The doctrine of the Trinity—that God is three beings in one—wasn’t officially adopted by mainstream Christianity until the fourth century. How did this belief in a triune God come about? More importantly, can we find proof of it in the pages of the Bible?   Phil Sandilands examines the history of the Trinity, how it came to be accepted—and why the Bible teaches something radically different.   Lis...

No book has impacted the modern world more than the Bible. But can we trust it?   Gary Black interviews Jim Franks (author of our free booklet “Is the Bible True?”) and discusses the many sources of evidence for the Bible’s validity—archaeology, history, the Dead Sea Scrolls, fulfilled prophecy and the Bible’s internal consistency.   Listen to LHT Presents in your favorite podcast player: https://...

Biosphere 2 was supposed to help us learn how to build self-contained, earthlike environments—valuable information for establishing human colonies on the moon or on Mars. Instead, as rival factions formed and systems were sabotaged, the whole experiment became a case study in failed relationships.   James Capo asks and answers a question that has plagued the human race for literally thousands of y...

The Bible doesn’t just tell us that Jesus Christ WILL one day return to the earth—it tells us why He MUST.   Joel Meeker explores five reasons the Bible provides to explain why Jesus Christ must return to earth:   1. To confirm the truthfulness of the Bible. 2. To keep His word. 3. To save the world from destruction. 4. To reward His servants. 5. To establish the Kingdom of God on earth.   Listen...

Some believe that Jesus Christ will secretly gather His people up into heaven before the events of the Great Tribulation—but is this what the Bible teaches?   Phil Sandilands examines the teaching of the rapture from a historical and a biblical perspective. If it’s not in the Bible, how did it become so prominent in Christian theology? Who introduced the idea, when—and why?   Listen to LHT Present...

The majority of Christian churches teach that when Christians die, their souls go to heaven to be with God.   The Bible teaches something else entirely.   Gary Black takes a look at popular misconceptions about heaven and shares what the Bible REALLY says about where we go when we die.   Listen to LHT Presents in your favorite podcast player: https://lhtpresents.lifehopeandtruth.com/   FEATURED BO...

The Bible is filled with encouraging and uplifting passages that fill people with hope and sustain them through life’s challenges. But it also deals with difficult subjects and asks difficult questions. There are parts of the Bible that we might prefer to ignore or reason away.   Should we allow the Bible to make us uncomfortable? James Capo answers that question on today’s episode of Life, Hope &...

Few prophecies have perplexed and fascinated readers of the Bible quite like the Beast described in the book of Revelation. The Beast is presented as a terrifying amalgamation of animal parts—the body of a leopard, the feet of a bear, the mouth of a lion, seven heads, 10 horns—rising up out of the sea and empowered by a dragon to rule the world.    On this episode of Life, Hope & Truth Present...

Did you know that in the early days of the Church, all Christians observed the seventh-day Sabbath?    Something changed over the centuries, and it wasn’t God’s mind. He still commands His people to rest on the seventh day of the week. The shift to Sunday happened as a result of human intervention that God never sanctioned or approved. In this episode of Life, Hope & Truth Presents, Phil Sandi...

Hell is real, but it might not look the way you think.   An eternally burning fire where wicked nonbelievers are tormented forever—this is the image of hell that has long been attached to the Christian religion. But the Bible describes nothing of the sort.    Gary Black explains why hell is not a place of eternal torment and how the Christian world came to that mistaken idea. FEATURED BOOKLET “The...

Modern, mainstream Christianity teaches that our bodies die, but we live on as souls. So why does the Bible teach something else entirely? Knowing what your soul is—and what happens to it after you die—is a core concept of Christianity. Join Gary Black as he explains both the biblical teaching of the soul and how that teaching became corrupted over the centuries. Listen to LHT Presents in your fav...

Many people believe that the Bible is a book of ancient fairy tales, written about fictious events and people who never existed.
