In today’s episode, Grant begins to reflect on comforting words of our Lord Jesus Christ in John 14:1–4 by examining what it means for believers not to have the physical presence of Christ presently among us. How does Jesus comfort us until He returns to this earth?

The phrase "but God" serves as a potent reminder that our redemption is not a result of our own efforts but is entirely dependent on God's actions for us. When we are entangled in our sin, unable to navigate back to the right path, we are assured that God intervenes with His love and grace. This grace is not a reward for our endeavors or a testament to our worthiness; it is bestowed...

In today’s episode, Grant continues reflecting on the beauty of salvation from the Apostle Paul’s words in Romans 5:1–8 by examining the experience of the love of God.

In today’s episode, Grant Castleberry begins reflecting on the beauty of salvation from the Apostle Paul’s words in Romans 5:1–8. This text of Scripture is a cornerstone of the Christian faith, exploring themes of justification, peace, suffering, and God’s love. 

True saving faith has certain qualities that determine if that faith is genuine or false. Is your faith genuine, or are you depending on a prayer you prayed or an aisle walked for saving faith? This is a question we all must face, and on today’s podcast, Grant confronts us with that question as he begins to explore the qualities of saving faith.

Jesus knows the heart. Regardless of what we may say or do on the outside, Jesus knows the true intentions of our hearts. During his earthly ministry, masses of people followed Christ for what he could physically do for them, but when things got tough, they turned away. There are many false disciples. Disciples that have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. On today’s podcast, Grant tak...

When discussing salvation, "but God" is a powerful reminder that our rescue doesn't come from anything we've done. It's all about what God does for us. Even when we're lost in our mistakes and can't find our way back, "but God" tells us that He comes in with His love and grace. He gifts us his grace not because we worked hard for it or are good enough,...

Sometimes grace is difficult to understand because we want to believe we have actually contributed something to salvation. However, the Protestant Reformers come along and point to what Scripture says, that salvation is by grace alone. All we contribute to our salvation is our sin, and the saving from sin comes from Christ through grace alone. In this episode, Grant Castleberry shows us that grace...

The doctrine of Solus Christus, or Christ alone, is the heartbeat of Reformation Theology. That is, Jesus Christ is the only path to salvation. In other words, you don’t need anyone else—like saints or priests, and you don’t need anything—like your good works. In today’s episode, Grant explains why and how Christ alone is the only path of salvation. He also introduces us to the Reformer, John Calv...

Conversion in the gospel is intrinsically linked to the Word of God. Scripture stands as the cornerstone for authentic faith. Gimmicks will never take its place as the primary means through which men and women come to a knowledge of the truth. In this episode, Grant helps us understand that nothing replaces God's Word as the means through which we are saved.

As we discovered last time together, the Protestant Reformation was a return to the Word of God. A return to accepting and believing that God’s Word is free from error and entirely sufficient for training believers in all areas of the Christian life. In today’s episode, Grant continues to answer the question “What is Reformation Theology?” by giving us a clear look at the doctrine of Sola Scriptur...

At its heart, the Reformation was a return to the Word of God. It was a return to the centrality of Scripture to the heart and life of the believer. In today’s episode, Grant continues to answer, “What is Reformation Theology?” More than simply a historical movement during the sixteenth-century, the Reformation was a return to biblical Christianity that affected all subsequent generations of belie...

At its core, Reformation Theology redirects our focus toward the essential truths that define Christian faith: the sovereignty of God, the infallibility of Scripture, and the centrality of Christ. In today’s episode, Grant begins to examine this theological tradition that emerges, ultimately from Scripture, but shines brightly during the sixteenth-century Reformation. 

In today's episode, Grant focuses on the honor of God as revealed through Jesus' Great Commission. When we actively engage in evangelism and missions, we aren't just fulfilling a command; we're participating in a form of honoring God. This divine call presses us to overcome doubt, withstand discouragement, and stay steadfast in our pursuit of sharing the Gospel. 

On today’s episode, Grant Castleberry looks at the Apostle Paul and how his life stands as a compelling testimony that God's mercy isn't just an abstract theological concept, but a tangible reality that invigorates and sanctifies every fiber of our being. And, let us not forget, dear believers, that this same unchanging and inexhaustible mercy of God is available to each of us. It offers...

Grant Castleberry highlights the vital aspect of corporate worship and the role it plays in the Christian life. Corporate worship is the communal gathering where believers come together to glorify God and hear His Word. And this communal setting not only fosters a sense of unity within the body of Christ but also acts as a place of spiritual rejuvenation and encouragement for all believers. 

On today’s episode, Grant Castleberry delves deep into the essential question of why we, as human beings, owe honor to God.

On today’s episode, Grant Castleberry examines the life of Christ and his unwavering commitment to embrace God’s divine plan over his earthly life. Jesus was acutely aware of his mission and the sacrificial role He was to play in securing salvation. Regardless of the circumstances, Jesus submitted to the will of the Father. And this obedience and trust culminated in His journey to the cross. 

We all have people we look up to — our parents, a mentor, a friend, a hero — someone we want to model ourselves after. For the Christian, regardless of who we have on this earth to look up to, our ultimate example for living is our Lord Jesus Christ. In this episode, Grant Castleberry shows us how Christ serves us as an example of what it means to honor God perfectly.

In today's world, our culture often confuses our understanding of our true identity. Yet, when we turn to Scripture, we are constantly reminded of a profound truth: every individual is beautifully and purposefully created in the image of God. On today’s episode, Grant turns to the words of David, in Psalm 8, who offers us an insightful perspective that guides us towards a deeper understanding...

In today’s episode, Grant Castleberry delves into a topic we often avoid — extending love to our enemies. The capacity to love one’s enemies is a measure of authentic wisdom for followers of Christ. In other words, a genuinely wise and obedient believer approaches their enemies with a disposition dramatically different from worldly norms. Scripture instructs us to shower our enemies with kindness,...
