When Mercy Meets Justice: The Truth About Generational Curses
On this episode we want to examine a sharp question: does God punish children for the sins of their parents? Through practical truths and a vivid example in Numbers 14 of Moses’ urgent intercession, the story unfolds to reveal that God never condemns the innocent but consequences do ripple through generations. Listen as mercy and justice collide: God’s long-suffering compassion pardons, yet His justice still demands accountability. This episode will help guide listeners to the cross as the place where chains are broken and a new family pattern can begin. Join us and discover how you can be the change your family needs.

What is God Like?: Overflowing with Goodness and Forgiveness
On this episode, the tension builds as we see the weight of sin and the certainty of justice, but the narrative pivots on a breathtaking truth: mercy does not cancel justice — it meets it. Through vivid examples and faithful scripture, the episode traces how God’s overflowing love and unshakable truth converge in the cross, offering forgiveness to the repentant and warning to the unrepentant. God invites us to understand better the God who forgives, the God who is just, and the God who longs for his people to turn and be restored.

What is God Like?: Mercy, Grace, and the God Who Waits
In this episode, God begins to reveal just how He is or what He is like. He proclaims His name and His heart: merciful, gracious, and long‑suffering.  Listen as we unpack what it means to carry God’s name well, why the law can be an act of compassion, and how divine patience reshapes our idea of justice. This is a powerful account of shattered tablets, gracious restoration, and a faithful God who loves us into fresh starts—an invitation to reflect, repent, and be changed.

You’re Not Alone: A Story of Brokenness, Hope, and Return
On this episode, we follow real people crushed by fear, guilt and sorrow. Specifically, we trace Elijah’s fall from triumph on the mountain to a desolate juniper tree where he begged God to take his life. We experience the raw emotions of panic from a single message, the slow slide into isolation, the numbing pull of comparison and defeat. Then the account take a turn! Angels bring food, a still small voice breaks through the noise, and God invites Elijah back into purpose. This is more than ancient history—it’s a conversational, urgent call to hear God amid anxiety, to refuse secrecy, to step out of isolation and into community. Listen is to be reminded that you are not alone, you are never too far gone, and there is hope waiting in the next step toward God.

Hitting the Pause Button: Finding God in the Pause
Our culture is filled with busyness and noise. On today's episode, we talk about how to step out of the relentless noise and into a scriptural truth about how a simple pause can change everything.  We will draw on Psalm 46, Elijah’s mountaintop encounter, and Jesus’ steady rhythm of retreat and return. We trace the journey from frantic busyness to restful presence, showing how solitude becomes the place where God is known experientially, where the still, small voice of God can be heard, and where your mission is renewed. Tune in to learn how to silence the noise, practice the spiritual pause, and discover the life-changing power of being still and knowing God.

Forgiveness must Cost You Something
In today's episode, we step into a story that refuses to leave you unchanged: a king, an impossible debt, and a servant who learns — the hard way — what it means to be forgiven. Against the backdrop of a world quick to cancel and slow to heal, this episode peels back the layers of anger, justice, and the radical mercy Jesus calls us to. We trace how the cross meets justice, why true forgiveness costs us something, and how withholding mercy builds prisons of our own making. Listen as scripture turns into a mirror and a map: a mirror to reveal where unforgiveness has taken root in your life, and a map forward toward restoration, freedom, and the costly grace that heals families, churches, and hearts.

The Extent of Forgiveness: The One-and-Done Truth That Frees You
In this episode, we walk into God's courtroom where He as Judge declares a messed up life ‘not guilty’—not because the person became perfect, but because Jesus paid the price. We can be forgiven and declared sinless because of the great Bible truth of forgiveness. It is why God’s forgiveness covers past, present, and future sins.  God's forgiveness moves us from the darkness of guilt to the sunshine of peace! Justification is a completed, legal transaction that gives us access to God and a new standing. We’re challenged not to abuse this gift, but to live in the freedom it creates, striving to be more like Jesus. This freedom of forgiveness allows us hold our heads up and live in victory.

How Not to Trip and Fall in Your Christian Walk
In this episode we follow Asaph through a raw, honest moment of spiritual near-failure. He encountered jealousy, confusion, and the temptation to call it quits. As the Psalm unfolds, he compares himself to the prosperous wicked, spirals toward despair, and asks whether faith is even worth it. But it all turns around when he returns to what he knows is certain, the church, the community of believers, and the immutable character of God. The episode traces his steps back from irrational comparison to spiritual clarity—showing how perspective, fellowship, and the memory of God’s goodness can steady a wavering heart.

Prayer: The Highway to Knowing God
This episode explores how prayer leads us to know God more deeply, drawing on Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3. It explains that prayer is instinctive, instructive, and a lifelong journey that strengthens the inner person, roots us in love, and opens us to encountering God’s fullness. We look as some practical tools for prayer such as: plan regular prayer times, experiment with different forms (petition, confession, adoration, meditation), and grow in biblical knowledge so prayer becomes a true conversation with God rather than a checklist.

Withered, Unfruitful, Fruitful: Decoding Jesus’ Branches
In this episode we walk through John 15 and sort out the three different types of branches that Jesus talks about: the fruitful (pruned to produce more), the unfruitful (believers who stop bearing fruit and are set aside), and the withered (those who only look like branches but never truly trusted Him). Take a moment to pause and check to see which branch your are. Trust Jesus if you never have, and if you’re a believer who’s grown cold, come back to abiding in Him so real life and purpose return.
