Biblical truth and Jesus-type love must go hand in hand in our lives.

We are tasked to work toward holiness. What does that even mean?

Obedience to the truth of God’s Word is the difference between knowing about God and being a living sacrifice.

As an obedient Christian you may have already encountered uncomfortable situations where you needed to stand for truth. How’d you do?

We hear a lot these days about your truth and my truth but circumstances don’t change truth. As Christians we need to know the one truth.

Who do you most admire and why? What touchstone do you use to determine who you should imitate? Is it earthly success or God’s Word?

How should we handle a friend confessing their sin versus a church leader?

Imagine if the billions of Christians in the world could commit to the big picture of Jesus and live it out through the details of biblical truth. We’d be a powerful force!

No matter your perceived physical limitations God wants you to live a bold Christian life, just like Paul.

Christian hospitality looks different from the world’s view. We are to step forward in bold faith to invite the stranger into our lives all the while staying true to our morals.

Join me in this 25 episode journey through the Bible’s tiniest books and the life lessons they teach.
