Resilience is a life skill we need for the inevitable struggles we will face in this life — but we must be intentional about learning this skill. Valorie has identified some key “rules” for resilience — like “expect the unexpected,” and “focus on the vision, not the obstacle.” And “control the controllable and accept the rest.” Prepping ourselves beforehand to learn and live more resiliently helps...

Mark 1:21–28 In a world of competing voices, whose word can you trust? When Jesus taught in the synagogue at Capernaum, the people were astonished. Unlike the scribes, He spoke with authority, and even the demons obeyed Him. Pastor Chuck Swindoll opens Mark 1:21–28, revealing how Jesus’ teaching and His confrontation with an unclean spirit displayed an authority no one had ever witnessed. His word...

He may have been the greatest American hero of his time; his name was Meriwether Lewis. When President Thomas Jefferson bought the massive Louisiana Purchase from Napoleon, the size of this young country was more than doubled overnight. The land stretched from the Mississippi all the way to the Pacific, and much of it was known well to Native Americans but largely unknown to white Americans. Jeffe...

Too many Christians spend their lives playing defense, simply trying to survive another day. Dr. Tony Evans explains how recognizing Christ’s authority changes our perspective and allows us to move forward with purpose instead of constantly retreating from the enemy.

You can be outwardly religious and still be inwardly rebellious. Teaching from Luke 15 , Dr. Youssef turns to the older son in Jesus’ parable—a man who appeared faithful, yet whose heart was cold, resentful, and unwilling to celebrate grace. His problem was not open rebellion, but self-righteousness. Jesus reveals that prideful religion can be just as deadly as obvious sin because it resists mercy...

In this episode, David Wollen and pastor and birder Kevin Burrell consider what four fascinating birds can teach us about ourselves, the Christian life, and the church.

We like to think we make rational decisions with our money, but what if our emotions influence our financial choices far more than we realize? That’s one of behavioral economics' central findings: human psychology shapes financial decisions. While these discoveries have challenged traditional economic thinking, they reinforce what Scripture has taught for thousands of years: human wisdom is limite...

No matter who we are, what neighborhood we come from, whether we’re famous, infamous or unknown, we have something someone else wants. We have something someone else needs. We have a smile, and a kind word. It’s that simple. Maybe we don’t have a dollar in our pocket, but a moment of kindness may be just what someone needs to get through their difficulty. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laur...

Even a child raised in a loving Christian home can lose his way.

Mark 1:14–20 Nearly everyone longs for a clear sense of purpose—yet leaving the familiar behind is another matter entirely. When Jesus called His first disciples beside the Sea of Galilee, He didn’t issue a theological lecture. He simply said, “Follow Me.” From Mark 1:14–20, Pastor Chuck Swindoll examines the Savior’s call on Simon, Andrew, James, and John. Jesus’ call was personal, authoritative,...

Now, it’s hard to lose weight; I know that very well. But the real trick in weight loss is keeping the weight off. Years ago I dropped about 55 pounds and believe me i’m not looking for it. I mean, it went away thankfully a little bit at a time. I found out that it is possible to hang around the level of where you got your weight loss to. Of course, you can’t eat grapefruit all the time, or celery...

A narcissist can make you feel like you're losing your grip on reality. One minute they’re charming, the next, cold or hateful. They gaslight, twist words, demean, and deny truth, leaving you feeling like you’re worth nothing to them, overreacting, or going crazy. But you’re not crazy. Narcissists thrive on control, and to maintain power, they’ll shift blame, deflect responsibility, and create emo...

There’s more to life than simply moving from one day to the next. Dr. Tony Evans explains the spiritual conflict taking place behind the scenes and why God’s Kingdom Agenda is necessary for understanding our purpose and responding to the battle around us.

In many churches, single people are sometimes made to feel like outsiders. Everyone appears to be paired off, and a lot of energy goes into cultivating healthy families. As a result, and tragically, some singles admit to feeling like second class Christians. In this message, J.D. explains that God’s view is far different. In fact, the Bible often reinforces the benefits to singleness. And whether...
