What if the struggle to tame your tongue and temper isn’t about trying harder, but about remembering who you are? We explore a bold New Year declaration rooted in Scripture and anchored in the conviction that behavior is a symptom and identity is the root. With warmth, humor, and a little sass, we move from the instructions in the book of James to a practical daily rhythm that helps you stand taller: crown on, light visible, heart secure.

What would it take to change a hardened heart? With Christmas lights still glowing, we hold Dickens’ A Christmas Carol up to the light of Luke 16 and watch how both stories expose the fault lines in our comfort. Scrooge faces ghosts who force him to see time and consequence; Jesus tells of a rich man who steps over Lazarus and discovers a chasm that cannot be crossed.

Ever notice how easy it is to feel “right” as long as you’re standing next to someone you’ve labeled “worse”? Let's take a spirited, heartfelt walk through the parable in Luke of the Pharisee and the tax collector and uncover why comparison is such a powerful counterfeit for spiritual health. With humor and straight talk, we unpack how Jesus flips our categories, reading the heart rather than the résumé, and why the least likely person in the story walks away justified.

Stones drop. Silence settles. Then a sentence changes everything. We walk through the charged scene in John 7–8 where a woman is dragged into public shame and Jesus turns a legal trap into a doorway to freedom. Without flinching at the reality of sin, he shields her from harm, exposes hypocrisy, and points to a path that leads to life: neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a fresh start, and leave a quick review. Your notes and ratings help more people find a path from accusation to freedom.

A city trembles, a wall collapses, and one red cord holds a family’s future. We revisit Joshua 2 with fresh eyes—part history lesson, part soul-search—following Rahab as she reads the moment, risks everything, and ties her fate to the God who topples empires and keeps promises. We dig into the spy craft, the king’s failed pursuit, and the surprising boldness of a woman the world wrote off, only to watch her become a mother in the royal line that leads to King David and, generations later, to Jesus.

What's the secret to loving someone who actively hates you? Not just tolerate them—genuinely love them with Christ's love? This question lies at the heart of today's exploration into one of Christianity's most challenging commands.

Our cultural landscape resembles the Nile turned to blood—what once gave life now reeks of death. Social media feeds overflow with anger, accusations fly across political divides, and hearts grow increasingly cold. Against this backdrop, we examine the radical transformation of Saul—Christianity's first notorious persecutor—into Paul, the apostle who wrote most of the New Testament. This powerful redemption story challenges us to see our enemies differently: what if that person hurling insults at you today is tomorrow's powerful voice for the gospel?

Get ready to transform how you view those who oppose you. Listen now and discover how loving your enemies might be the most powerful spiritual warfare strategy you're neglecting. Then share this episode with someone—because cold hearts, not hostile people, are the real danger to the church today.

What happens when a king who sacrificed his own children in fire finds himself in chains? The stunning redemption story of King Manasseh reveals the unfathomable depths of God's mercy.

Manasseh's journey begins in darkness. Following his father Hezekiah's mostly faithful reign, twelve-year-old Manasseh embarks on a reign of terror, rebuilding pagan altars, practicing sorcery, consulting mediums, and sacrificing his sons to false gods. As king, his actions don't just affect him; they lead an entire nation astray. God sends warnings through prophets, but these fall on deaf ears until judgment finally arrives through Assyrian commanders who drag Manasseh away in chains.

It's here, stripped of everything, that transformation begins.
