Christmas is more than a moment, a memory, or a tradition. It’s the story of God choosing to be with us. In this Christmas Day episode, Pastor Terry walks through the meaning of Immanuel—God with us. This message reminds us that Jesus didn’t just come to be admired as a baby in a manger, but to live among us, show us who God truly is, and ultimately die so we could have access to Him. Because of Christ, the barrier has been removed, and believers are now the dwelling place of God’s Spirit. If you feel weary, distracted, or searching this Christmas, this episode invites you to slow down and reflect on the greatest gift ever given: Immanuel, God with us.   Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

This Christmas week, we’re reminded that our lives are not random or accidental. We are divinely assigned by God! In this episode, we look at Mary’s encounter in Luke 1 and discover how God delivers His assignments with purpose, power, and eternal impact.   As we slow down in the midst of a busy season, this message encourages us to recognize God’s calling on our lives, trust His empowerment through the Holy Spirit, and respond with willing obedience. No matter where you are in your journey, God has an assignment for you — and He equips those He calls.   Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

Even the strongest believers and healthiest churches still need help from heaven. This message reminds us that God’s people need spiritual wisdom, holy living, deeper knowledge of God, and supernatural strength — not just to survive hard situations and hard people, but to walk through them with joy.

We all face storms — some caused by others, some allowed by God, and some that we steer into ourselves. Acts 27 shows what happens when we ignore God’s counsel and choose our own way… and the incredible faithfulness of God even in the middle of the chaos we created.   His mercy meets us in the mess, His presence steadies us in the waves, and His grace leads us home when we finally choose to trust Him.   Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

Why does God allow hard, painful things into our lives? In this message from 2 Corinthians 12, we learn that the “thorn in the flesh” isn’t punishment—it’s grace.  While we constantly ask God to remove the hardship, He often gives us something better: the sustaining grace that is always enough.   Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

God’s mercy deserves a reasonable response. In Romans 12, Paul shows us what that response looks like: offering ourselves fully to God, refusing to be shaped by the world, and allowing Him to transform our minds. Mercy means we don’t get what we do deserve; grace means we receive what we don’t deserve. When we understand the weight of both, the only reasonable response is a life surrendered to Christ and committed to using our gifts for His glory.   Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

Everyone longs to be loved — but not all love heals. In this message from 1 Corinthians 13, Pastor Terry shows us the “more excellent way,” revealing what real, Christ-shaped love looks like. This kind of love is patient, kind, steady, and sacrificial… a love that doesn’t quit, doesn’t retaliate, and doesn’t keep score. When the Holy Spirit works this love into our lives, it transforms how we treat people, how we respond to hurt, and how we reflect Jesus to the world.   Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

No matter what you’re facing, you can stand fast because God is faithful.
