If you could restore one thing in your life… what would it be?

A relationship?
A season?
A decision?
A part of your heart?

In this final episode of God’s Promises, we explore the promise that ties every other promise together: Restoration.

Throughout Scripture, God doesn’t just forgive — He restores.

• He restores the joy of salvation (Psalm 51:12).
• He restores life after trouble and suffering (Psalm 71:20; 1 Peter 5:10).
• He restores the years that feel wasted (Joel 2:25).
• And one day, He will restore everything (Acts 3:21).

We also unpack the “4 Rs of Restoration” — Replace, Renew, Revive, Return — and what it means for God to replace hardened hearts, renew minds, revive spiritual life, and return us to deep fellowship with Him.

But restoration doesn’t end with this life. Revelation 21 promises a day when every tear is wiped away, death is defeated, and all things are made new.

Heaven isn’t escape...it’s restoration completed!

In this episode of God’s Promises, we explore what Jesus really meant when He said:

If nearly one in five adults experience anxiety each year, what does it mean for believers to live in peace? Is peace the absence of trouble? Is it emotional calm? Or is it something deeper?

In this conversation, we unpack:

• What Jesus meant by “these things” in John 16:33
• The difference between peace with God (Romans 5:1) and the peace of God (Philippians 4:6–7)
• Why peace doesn’t remove storms but anchors us in them
• How Isaiah’s “perfect peace” (Isaiah 26:3) was written during national instability
• Why Christ’s presence — not our control — is the foundation of lasting peace

Let's be real.....many of us believe God forgives us, but wonder if real change is actually possible.

In this episode of God’s Promises, we explore one of the most hopeful assurances in Scripture: God’s promise to transform us. Transformation isn’t instant, dramatic, or driven by willpower. It’s a faithful, God-led process that happens from the inside out.

Using passages like Ezekiel 36:26, 2 Corinthians 3:18, and Philippians 1:6, we talk about what it means to receive a new heart, to be transformed “from one degree of glory to another,” and to trust that God will finish the work He started in us. We also draw from the Christian-living article “10 Ways to Be Transformed by Christ and Not Conformed to the World” from iBelieve.com, highlighting why spiritual change is a process of renewal, not conformity.

In this episode of God’s Promises, we talk about one of the most freeing — and most misunderstood — promises in the Bible: God’s promise to forgive. Many believers quietly wonder if they’ve said “sorry” enough, confessed enough, or remembered every sin. But Scripture tells a much better story.

God’s forgiveness is not fragile. It is complete!

Through passages like Psalms 103, 1 John 1:9, and the story of the prodigal son, we explore the difference between positional forgiveness (once-for-all forgiveness secured by Christ) and relational forgiveness (ongoing confession that restores closeness, not salvation).

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why Christians don’t need to keep re-earning forgiveness
• The difference between confession and insecurity
• How guilt distorts our view of grace
• Why repentance is about returning, not resetting
• How God restores relationship without revoking salvation

What does it really mean when God promises to provide?

In this episode of God’s Promises, we look at Jesus’ simple but powerful prayer: “Give us this day our daily bread.” This promise was never about wealth, excess, or guaranteed financial success. It was about trust — daily, faithful dependence on a God who sees and cares.

From manna in the wilderness to Jesus pointing to the birds of the air, Scripture consistently shows that God’s provision is intentional, sufficient, and personal. God promises to meet our needs, not to provoke a desire for riches or turn faith into a financial transaction.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why God’s promise of provision is not a promise of wealth
• The biblical difference between needs and wants
• Why daily provision builds trust and dependence
• How God’s care often shows up quietly and faithfully
• Why God’s faithfulness isn’t measured by our bank accounts

We’ll also share practical challenges to help you release worry, resist unhealthy pursuit of “more,” and learn to trust God for today’s provision.

Have you ever been going through something hard and realized the problem wasn’t that you didn’t have answers — it was that you felt alone?

In this episode of God’s Promises, we focus on one of the most repeated and most needed promises in Scripture: God’s promise of presence. From Joshua standing at the edge of the unknown to Jesus’ final words to His disciples, God consistently promises not explanations, not ease, but Himself.

Did you know, astronauts aren’t kept from loneliness by coming home early but by staying connected where they are — we explore what it really means when God says, “I will be with you.” This promise doesn’t remove fear or uncertainty, but it changes how we walk through them.

Episode 2: God’s Promise to Abraham

What happens when God makes a promise… and then asks you to wait?

In this episode of God’s Promises, we turn to the story of Abraham and the promise of Isaac — a promise that took decades to fulfill. God spoke clearly, repeated His word, and never changed His mind — even when time passed, faith wavered, and human impatience complicated the process.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why God’s promises are not canceled by time or delay
• How Abraham and Sarah rushed the promise instead of waiting
• Why God allowed the fulfillment to become humanly impossible
• What it means to trust God’s word when nothing seems to be changing

If you’re waiting on something God has spoken… this episode is for you.

What happens after the storm has passed?

In this first episode of our new series, God’s Promises, we begin where Scripture begins again — not with excitement or certainty, but with mercy. After the floodwaters recede, Noah steps into a quiet, broken world. And it’s there — after judgment, after loss, after survival — that God makes one of His most foundational promises.

The rainbow covenant is not a promise that storms will never come again. It’s a promise of restraint. A declaration that God will not abandon His creation, even knowing humanity is still broken. It’s a promise God makes not because people improved — but because He chose mercy.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why God’s promises often come after the storm, not before it
• What the rainbow really represents in Scripture
• How God binds Himself to faithfulness, even when the world isn’t fixed
• Why this promise still matters as we step into a new season

We’ll also leave you with practical challenges for the week — simple ways to recognize God’s mercy, practice restraint, and trust Him in the quiet spaces between what was and what’s next.

If you’re standing on the other side of something hard. If you’re grateful to have made it through, but unsure what comes next…This promise is for you.

Take your shoes off. You’re standing on holy ground.
