Good Call

Are you grappling with major decisions and feeling uncertain about what God wants you to do? I recently had a caller who shared her fear of following her desires and sought guidance on discerning God’s will.There are plenty of misconceptions about God’s leading, including the damaging belief that you can’t trust your own desires or that God has secret instructions for those who obey Him or search hard enough for His will.In this must-listen episode, I challenge these unhealthy views of God’s guidance. You’ll discover the liberating truth about how God actually works, causing you to want and to do of His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13)!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Tim is a seminary student, and he’s been learning about predestination in his courses lately. In particular, he’s been studying Romans 9 where it talks about God hardening hearts.So does God harden people’s hearts today? Does God pre-arrange who can respond to the Gospel and who can’t?These were Tim’s questions when he called in to our program. In this episode, I share what’s really going on in Romans 9 and what the hardening of hearts actually means for you and me.We hope you enjoyed this episode.

“It is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.” (Romans 7:17)“It is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.” (Romans 7:20)No longer I who do it? So, is it out of my control? Is it not my responsibility? What do these statements in Romans 7 really mean?This was Chris’ question when he called in to our radio program. In this episode, I share my thoughts on this challenging passage and the life-transforming truth we can take away from it.Enjoy!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Are you ready to challenge conventional beliefs about your nature as a Christian? It’s time to dive deep into the provocative question of whether you’re truly good.“Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.” This statement by Jesus in Mark 10 has been used to tell believers they’re bad, not good. But is that really what Jesus meant?In this episode, I unpack why it’s absolute nonsense to say Christians are still bad after being born again. The truth of the Gospel is far more inspiring and liberating than you may have ever imagined.Listen and uncover the shocking truth from Scripture about your nature as a believer. It will help you embrace and celebrate that you’re unequivocally good!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Kat has struggled with panic attacks and loneliness lately and wants to feel God’s presence. She called in to ask about what to expect.Should we expect a feeling of God’s presence in our lives?

Dan called the radio program recently to ask about assurance of salvation.Does a prayer of salvation require certain words or need to follow a specific formula? What if we don’t “feel” it? What if we change our minds?In this episode, I share how you can know your salvation is secure and permanent!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

It can be disheartening when our friends or family members distance themselves from the message of God’s grace, showing no interest in discussing matters of faith with us.So, how can we approach this sensitive subject with love and care? And how can we express our heartfelt desire for their well-being through understanding the whole Gospel message?I recently shared a series of thought-provoking questions designed to facilitate conversations about God’s grace. The Gospel is undeniably great news, and it’s supposed to be fun to talk about it!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Galatians 5 mentions a hope of righteousness that might leave you wondering if being righteous is something still to come in the future. That was Walter’s question when he called into our radio program.In the video, I share the incredible hope of the Gospel we experience right now. It’s not about balancing the law with grace but living in newness of life in Christ.Listen and be encouraged in your freedom to jettison law-based, lifeless religion!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. (John 6:44)Sean called in to our radio program seeking counsel on John 6:44. Does this verse indicate God only invites certain people to Himself? That knowing God is simply a matter of fate?Well, if that’s the case, there wouldn’t be much point to evangelism or world missions. Sharing our faith would need to include the caveat, “this might not work if you’re not one of the chosen.”In this episode, I share more of what Scripture teaches about God’s heart for you and His loving invitation for anyone and everyone.

The message of God’s grace can sound radically different from anything Christians have heard in popular religion.God’s grace challenges what many believers have been taught regarding forgiveness. One Sunday, you hear that God remembers your sins no more. The next week, you’re told to confess your sins to receive forgiveness from God. So, which is it? Has God taken away your sins forever, or do you need to ask Him to do it daily?Or maybe you’re taught that grace and forgiveness are merely topics to be balanced with others like prayer, Bible reading, and spiritual disciplines. This relegates the core of the Gospel to a bin of “basics we’ve already covered.”In this episode, I tackle these mixed messages and explain how we can showcase God’s grace as the only doorway to true spiritual growth!We hope you enjoyed this episode.
