“For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins…” (Hebrews 10:26)
There’s no sacrifice left? What does this even mean? Can we out-sin the grace of God and reach the point where the blood of Christ runs out on us?

Edgar in North Carolina called in to our radio program to ask about this very challenging passage, Hebrews 10:26. Edgar was taught that this verse i...

A recent caller shared he feels spiritually empty. He reads his Bible twice a day and tries to pray constantly… but it all feels like a chore now. He’s worried he’s lost his hunger for God. Sound familiar?

If you’ve ever felt pressure to “do more for God” just to stay on His good side—welcome to the club.

Somewhere, this caller picked up a legalistic message. You know the one: If you really loved God, you’d prove it. More reading. Mo...

What is the armor of God? Should it be seen as literal is the armor symbolic of something else? Finally, how do we put it on?

I hope this is an encouraging reminder to you to keep the Gospel message simple and always focused on Jesus.

When you truly grasp the new covenant of God’s grace, it changes everything—including how you pray. You realize you’re fully forgiven, deeply loved, and clean and close to Him. There’s no need to beg or plead for what’s already yours in Christ.

But what about the messy, everyday stuff—your pain, anxiety, and tough decisions? Should you still ask God for help? Can you really be that raw and real with Him?

Let’s explore what prayer loo...

Anthony from Tennessee called in to our radio program to ask about the Parable of the Wedding Feast.

Many are called? Few are chosen? On what basis are they chosen? And what does their clothing have to do with it?

In this short clip, I address Anthony’s questions and discuss the true and liberating meaning of this often misunderstood parable.

Some Christians have heard that if you’re feeling sad, discouraged, or overwhelmed, you must be doing something wrong—that “real” faith means always feeling joyful and victorious.

But what if that’s not just unhelpful… but completely untrue?

In this , I answer a heartfelt question about sadness and whether feeling low is somehow unspiritual. We take a look at what Scripture actually says—and it’s far more comforting than the cliches ...

Hebrews 12:14 says that there is a sanctification (or holiness) without which no one will see the Lord. Does this mean that some believers won’t be holy enough to see God?

This was Jamal’s question when he called in from Florida to our radio program. In this short , I address the meaning of sanctification and the healthy interpretation of Hebrews 12.

It’s a common belief that sounds spiritual—and even Biblical: God forgives us as we forgive others.

But is that actually the Gospel?

If you’ve ever been told God’s acceptance depends on you being endlessly nice, sweet, and forgiving, then you need to hear this call. Because that idea isn’t just misleading—it’s dangerous.

In this episode, I unpack Jesus’ teaching on forgiveness, including His parable about forgiving “seventy times seve...

To whom is the book of James written? To Christians only, or to unbelievers, or to both?

Some churches and denominations seem to wave a magic wand over Scripture, affirming lifestyles that are clearly not of God. Maybe you have a friend or family member engaged in a way of life that you know is sinful, and it has you wondering if they’re actually a believer.

Can we always judge a book by its cover? After all, only God knows the heart. We may express our disapproval of behavior not aligned with the New Testament, but nav...

With earthly contracts, there are two or more parties involved, and sometimes there’s a cancellation clause. This clause lets one party back out of the deal if certain conditions are not met.

Daniel from Louisiana called in to our radio program to ask if the New Covenant has a cancellation clause. Is there any way that we can willfully back out, break the covenant, and thereby lose our salvation?

In this short clip, I address this im...

Has church membership ever felt more like a maze of requirements than the Gospel? A caller recently asked about her church requiring membership to take communion. Does fellowship really depend on formal paperwork?

Jack from Arkansas called in to our radio program to ask about temptation:

Wendy from Boston called in to tell me that she has been taught that some believers will be disappointed in Heaven, because they won’t get as many rewards as other Christians.

Is this true? Will there be disappointment in Heaven? And what about the idea of differing quantities of rewards?

Jesus said connection with Him is easy and light, and that we’d even find relaxation in Him. But how can that even happen in the chaos of life?

A caller recently asked if Christianity should be restful. The short answer: YES! The Gospel is designed to bring us rest – true, lasting relaxation in Jesus. But getting there isn’t always a straight line. We deal with pain and suffering, and the flesh and the Spirit clash like a battle roy...
