Send us Fan Mail Have you ever heard of what's called "narrative building?" It's kind of like when someone starts a rumor about you. They begin to 'build' a 'narrative' or a story about you that's either false or only half true and then it's professed as if it's completely true. It's one way that people can start drama with us and Jesus c...

Send us Fan Mail Every once in awhile, you'll be reading your Bible and you'll hit a difficult passage. It happens to everyone, but if we're not careful, it can send us in a total spiral! That's why this episode was recorded, to help you with some strategies for when this happens because the reality of it is, God's word doesn't contradict itself. Anytime it seems like...

Send us Fan Mail God is going to overcome the world and believers in Christ get to partake in it with Him. BUT, how do we know we're going to? How do we know we're in Christ? John is going to give us even more evidence that we are in Christ, grab your Bible and tune in to find out more!!

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever wondered what perfect love is? Could you define it? Could you identify it? Even as a Christian, it can be hard to define or model perfect love, but the Holy Spirit has guided John to give us the perfect picture of it from God's example.  Grab your Bible and tune in to find out more! 

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever heard somebody's testimony on how they were brought from the worst of the worst into Christ's kingdom? When you compared their testimony to yours, did it make you feel like yours is lacking? I've felt this before! But tune in to hear why I think your testimony is just as exciting!!  Edit: Slight misquote a little past halfway in the episode. I accident...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever entrusted someone with a task and wondered if they actually were doing the work you trusted them with? It's kind of an anxious feeling, especially when you've got a lot invested in them! The amazing thing is that in Christ, you NEVER have to worry about that! He is working on your behalf always and you can trust that it's getting done!  Grab your Bible...

Send us Fan Mail As we have been examining our individual walks with God to see that we're in the faith, John continues to provide evidence. We've heard from John already that we are to love one another, but now John is giving us some contrast between God's children and the devil's children (from last week). If you are struggling with assurance, this is the message for you! Gra...

Send us Fan Mail The Holy Spirit guides John to write one of the most sobering contrasts in the entire world: children of God and children of the devil. This scary reality should drive Christians to proclaim the truth more and the unbeliever to faith in Christ. Along with this though, is incredible assurance for the believer, who has been adopted into God's family! Tune in to find out more! 

Send us Fan Mail The world of podcasts is vast. Who's safe to listen to? Who isn't boring? Who is doing podcasts to further the gospel and help Christians live better?

Send us Fan Mail There's an endless debate about whether or not you MUST read from a physical Bible instead of just accessing it from your phone. Having the Bible on your phone is awesome, but I'm going to make the case that your physical Bible is always better.  Tune in for more! 

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever listened to somebody preach or teach on the Bible and wondered if they are actually a believer in Christ or an enemy of the gospel? The Holy Spirit uses John to address this in our passage, even calling false teachers "antichrists!"  Grab your Bible and tune in to find out more! 

Send us Fan Mail It's so easy to get trapped into all of the worldly things and the desires of the flesh, even if you're a believer. When we're tempted to look at the world as being attractive, it helps to know what really comes from it. So grab your Bible and tune in for more! 

Send us Fan Mail Love is inseparable from obedience to God. A Christian without love is like a competitive swimmer that never goes in the water. If someone is a true believer, they will love both God and their neighbor.  Grab your Bible and tune in to find out more! 

Send us Fan Mail Our culture tells us that we're "enough" and we don't need change and we just need to be ourselves. Our culture also tells us that if there is a heaven, all we need to do is be a "good person." None of that is true, however. We NEED someone to advocate for us. We could never make it to heaven on our own. Who is that perfect advocate? Who could speak o...

Send us Fan Mail How do Christians approach the aftermath of a national tragedy? Our country experienced a very difficult day on Sept. 10, 2025, and it seems as though tragedy isn't slowing down any time soon. How are we to respond? How should we think? How should we pray?  Tune in to find out! 

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever wondered how you're supposed to know if you're truly a Christian? John lays it out clearly that you must be walking in light, because God is light. Since there's no darkness in Him, you can't be walking in darkness.  Grab your Bible and tune in to find out more!

Send us Fan Mail What is the difference between being confident in something versus having doubts about it? The EVIDENCE! If you have sufficient evidence to believe in something, you will. What if I told you that we have excellent evidence for Jesus?  Grab your Bible and tune in to hear more! 

Send us Fan Mail As the Apostle Paul continues talking about the Christian household, he moves on to what the text calls "bondservants." Though not a direct equivalent, our modern day employee is about the closest we can get culturally in 21st century America to what Paul was referring to. So how can we see application from Paul's exhortation to the bondservant and the master in our...

Send us Fan Mail In the past couple of messages, we looked at Apostle Paul's instructions for the Christian household (and workplace). For our final message in Colossians, we're looking at how to behave outside of the household, particularly with "outsiders," as Paul calls them. How should we pray for them? How should we use our time with them and speak with them?  Grab your Bi...

Send us Fan Mail In this passage, Paul guided by the Holy Spirit, describes the Christian household. One of the more controversial passages in our culture, what does "submit" really mean? How do husbands interact with their wives? Children, parents?  Grab your Bible, turn it to Colossians 3 and tune in to find out! 

Send us Fan Mail When it comes to "setting our minds," what we commit to, what we seek, what we think about constantly affects the way we live. We will orient everything we do going forward around what our minds are on. This is why it's so crucial to follow the Holy Spirit's instruction spoken through Paul on setting our minds on things above.  Grab a Bible, turn to Colossians...

Send us Fan Mail Nobody likes ridiculous requirements! They're unfair and often impossible to maintain. In our Christian walk, we can get caught up in ridiculous requirements too when we try to earn our own righteousness. Grab your Bibles, turn them to Colossians, and tune in to find out more! 

Send us Fan Mail Artificial intelligence has been talked about for decades but in recent years, it has arrived and seems to be here to stay. This has many people worried. How should Christians view it? What does it mean for us? What does it mean for jobs? Will AI bring on the end of the world? Tune in to find out more! 

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever wondered how false teachings and worldly ideologies that contradict the Bible have become so accepted, even among Christians? It's likely because they have not acknowledged Christ as the better thing! If Christ is supreme (which, He is), then there is no reason to seek out anything lesser! Christ is the better thing and Paul, through the Holy Spirit's guida...

Send us Fan Mail What does your mind go to when you think of the word "supreme?" Yeah, PIZZA! Even more than that, the word supreme is synonymous with "the best." If something is supreme, nothing can top it. Christ is supreme and the Apostle Paul with the Holy Spirit's guidance encourages us to rightly consider Him as such.  Grab your Bible, turn to Colossians, and tune in...
