Send us Fan Mail In Philippians chapter 1, the Apostle Paul at one point says that he was appointed for the defence of the gospel.  In Jude verse 3, Jude says that all Christians, not just those in leadership, are to contend earnestly for the faith .   Now what is all that about? And how do you go about doing that? How does one defend the gospel or contend for the faith? Also where are you suppose...

Paul wasn’t whispering, was he? Today, though, the tone shifts. Not because Paul has calmed down — he hasn’t — but because...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back, friends. Today, we step into one of the most startling moments in all of Paul’s writings. If the opening verses of Galatians introduced us to the apostle’s authority and the beauty of the gospel, then verses 6–10 teach us the reason for the urgency felt in this entire letter. “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you…”  This is not irr...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever been told you must follow some sort of rule to be right with God?  For some, this means observing the Sabbath, for others, it’s vegetarianism or keeping Old Testament feasts or adhering to a strict Calendar of events and Christian practices. Such beliefs are often deeply held, but their dogmatic implementation by some can be both imprisoning and confusing. If God gav...

Send us Fan Mail Hang on at the end for my answer to a Listener's Question.... Paul's letter to the Galatians has often been called “the Magna Carta of spiritual emancipation.” For many believers, it reads like a charter of Christian freedom. In just a few short chapters, Paul delivers one of the most condensed, passionate, and powerful arguments ever written about the freedom believers...

Send us Fan Mail If chapter 19 showed us the slow, hopeful work of restoration, chapter 20 shows us how easily that work can be disrupted. When we open this chapter, the kingdom has barely begun to breathe again. David has just returned to Jerusalem, but old wounds are still tender. Trust is still being built again, and into that fragile moment steps a new voice of division.  His name is Sheba — a...

Send us Fan Mail Today, we move into a chapter where the real battle isn’t fought with swords or armies — it’s fought with counsel, with strategy, and with the unseen hand of God quietly shaping the outcome. This is the chapter where human wisdom on one level reaches its highest point… and yet still falls short of the purposes of God. It’s where the most brilliant strategist in Israel gives flawle...

Send us Fan Mail Listen to my new podcast:  https://therenewedmindpodcast.buzzsprout.com Today, we step into one of the great turning points in the entire story of David — a moment when the kingdom shakes, loyalties shift, and the consequences of years of unresolved pain finally erupt into out-and-out rebellion.

Send us Fan Mail In today's episode, we will be looking at one of the most emotionally complex chapters in the entire story of David — a chapter filled with manipulation, political manoeuvring, and a father‑son relationship that never quite heals. This is a chapter about reconciliation — but not the kind we hope for. Not the kind that heals. Not the kind that restores. This is a chapter about...

Send us Fan Mail In today’s episode, we step into one of the most painful and sobering chapters in all of Scripture — a chapter that shows us not only the depths of human sin, but the tragedy of wasted potential. If you’ve been following our journey through the life of David, you know that chapter 12 ended with forgiveness, restoration, and hope. God confronted David, David confessed, and God exte...

Our instinct is to answer quickly: “Of course there’s hope!” But if we’re honest — and if we’re biblical — the answer is a little more nuanced. Sometimes the answer is yes. Sometimes the answer is yes, but not right...

Send us Fan Mail Life can be a battle sometimes. Not always the big, dramatic battles. Most of the time, the battles we fight are far quieter… and far closer to home. Because we also have a battle going on within ourselves — the tug‑of‑war between what we do and what we know is right. The truth is, the greatest battles of life are often the ones no one sees. And the question is: How do you win the...
