What happens when the wounds from our earthly father shape how we see our Heavenly Father? For many of us, our first understanding of fatherhood came from our biological father. Whether he was present, absent, loving, inconsistent, emotionally unavailable, or even abusive, those experiences can influence how we relate to God. If our earthly father abandoned us, we may struggle to believe God will...

They used their resources to help support and advance the work o...

What does it look like to create with Holy Spirit? 🎨🎶 In Exodus 31:1–5 , God tells Moses that He had chosen Bezalel and filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and skill to create artistic designs.

What does it truly mean to “train up a child” according to Scripture? In this episode of Truth, Measured, we explore the spiritual responsibility of parenting beyond behavior management, academics, or achievement.

Are you reading the Bible, or truly understanding it?

In this episode, we break down a hard truth:  👉 Being close to Jesus doesn’t mean your heart is surrendered to Him. Judas walked with Jesus, saw the miracles, heard the teachings, and still betrayed Him. Why?

Why did Satan try to tempt Jesus with shortcuts to power? And why did Jesus refuse every one of them?

D, LCSW, to have an honest conversation about how faith culture has shaped, and sometimes hindered, mental health healing.

What does obedience to God really cost? In this episode, we examine why obedience is not about strength, comfort, or control, but about trust and surrender. Through the story of Gideon, we see how God calls the unlikely, asks us to confront culture, and uses what is already in our hands to accomplish His purpose. This teaching also contrasts biblical faith with the cultural idea of manifesting, sh...
