Trusting God in Difficult Times with Tim Keller
Trusting God in Difficult Times with Tim Keller is a short series that was initially recorded in 2020 after the global pandemic. This series is meant to encourage you to trust God more deeply and rest in his word as you meditate on what he promises. Each meditation is meant to point you to strength and hope in the valleys you go through and the difficult times you’ll inevitably face. After each talk there is a short discussion between Tim and Kathy Keller about some aspect of the meditation.

Psalm 11 is an excellent psalm for panicky times. In it, advisors have come to King David and said, “You have to get out of town. There’s going to be a coup.” David, however, knows the worst thing he can do for his people is to flee. So he refuses to panic.

That’s not at all what Psa...
What do you do when everything seems to be going wrong in your life?
Habakuk sees everything going wrong for his culture. He sees a military threat coming — disaster is coming for his nation. He cries out to God. He is honest before God and he is also realistic. He sees terrible times full of trouble and disaster and he can’t understand why God would allow it.
But he closes his lament with the words “you wil...
We often wonder if God has a plan. But we often don’t want to wait to see it. How do we wait on the Lord with faithfulness and patience?
God tells Habakuk to be patient. There are three things we can learn from this passage. 1) We have to wait patiently. 2) We have to wait perspectively and 3) We have to wait Christocentrically.
When we seek to live out of the love of Christ who was patient and brave for us, we can live by fa...

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
