Truth for Today with Terry Fant

The Christian life isn’t a playground. It’s a battlefield. But as believers, we’re not fighting for victory; we’re fighting from the victory Jesus has already won. In this episode, we explore one of Satan’s greatest strategies: causing believers to doubt who they are in Christ and what God can do through them. If you’ve ever felt disqualified by your past, overwhelmed by your weaknesses, or discou...

Yet even in our unfaithfulness, God continues to pursue us with grace, offering forgiveness, restoration, and a fresh start...

In this episode, we look at the calling of Matthew in Matthew 9 and discover an incredible truth: Jesus doesn’t define us by our failures, our past, or the labels others place on us. While everyone else saw Matthew as a traitor and a sinner, Jesus saw a man with value, purpose, and kingdom potential. The same is true for you. No matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done, Jesus sees you differen...

How long will you limp between two opinions?

One of the clearest ways to grow in our knowledge of God is to understand what He loves and what He hates.
