Mark: Faith That Sees 11/17/2024

Mark: Faith That Sees Randall Coffin | The faith displayed by a blind man proves that having sight does not guarantee that you will see. It is important to have a faith that sees. /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/33960937

Mark: Ultimate Servant Leadership 11/10/2024

Mark: Ultimate Servant Leadership Tim DeFor | What does God desire in a leader? Do you have what it takes?

Jesus demonstrates what it take, and invites us to follow his lead. /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/33868287

Mark: Holy Ambition 10/27/2024

Mark: Holy Ambition Tim DeFor | Only one can be the greatest. Most people dream of being the G.O.A.T. But, is it okay for Christians to aspire to greatness? If so, what does greatness look like in God's Kingdom? /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/33630487

Mark: Alone Is Not Enough 10/20/2024

Mark: Alone Is Not Enough Tim DeFor | Do you ever feel inadequate to fight the spiritual battles around you? Does it seem like God and others are expecting you to be more capable than you are? What can you do when you are over your head and inadequate for the task before you? The answer is sometimes simple, but not often automatic. /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/33536087

Mark: The Only One 10/13/2024

Mark: The Only One Tim DeFor | Many people think choosing a religion is like choosing a brand of ice cream. Just pick whatever suits your fancy. But is that true? Is Christianity different? What does Jesus want his disciples to know about him that eliminates all other options? /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/33437532

Mark: Broken Religion 10/06/2024

Mark: Broken Religion Tim DeFor | If a vast majority of people in this world are religious, and there are approximately 4,000 religions, and converting religious people to following Jesus is difficult and potentially dangerous, why bother? If you have ever asked yourself this question, than take a closer look at what sets Christianity apart from all the rest. /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/33347607

Mark: Unnecessary Roughness 09/29/2024

Mark: Unnecessary Roughness Tim DeFor | If God is all powerful and he wants us to serve him, it seems like he would smooth the path for us. But, sometimes ministry seems unnecessarily rough. You're not alone if you ever wonder why God doesn't make serving him easier. His disciples wondered the same thing. And the answer may not be what you think. /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/33250652

Mark: It's Personal 09/15/2024

Mark: It's Personal Tim DeFor | Do you know any hopeless cases? Someone who has destroyed every relationship, consumed every resource, and seems fully committed to self-destruction? Can they be transformed? If so, what does it take? And what impact could it have on others? /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/33060627

Mark: Friendly Fire 09/08/2024

Mark: Friendly Fire Tim DeFor | The Good News is a new message for those who haven't heard. And it often takes new methods. The enemy will attack, distract, and discredit to discourage Jesus's messengers. But it is especially discouraging when they take friendly fire from religious people. Jesus shows us what it takes to reach new people and what to expect when we do. /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/32960967

Mark: Proof Jesus Can 09/01/2024

Mark: Proof Jesus Can Tim DeFor | How do we know we are not being lied to about Jesus? You can't see if sins are forgiven, so how can we know Jesus can forgive sins? This knew this is a question that would be asked, so he answered it powerfully. /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/32853902

Mark: Know Your Enemy 08/25/2024

Mark: Know Your Enemy Tim DeFor | When pro sports teams prepare for big games, they spend hours studying video of their opponents past games. Why? Because one of the best ways to defeat an opponent on the sports field is to know their strategy in advance. This is also true spiritually. If you would like to know the strategy your enemy Satan is going to use against you, and how to defeat him, this is for you! /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/32730487

Mark: Introducing Jesus 08/18/2024

Mark: Introducing Jesus Tim DeFor | Introductions are not easy. And they become increasingly difficult as the importance of the person and the potential impact on the audience increases. There's no introduction larger than Jesus. How can you effectively introduce your savior to others? /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/32627207

8.11.24 | Faith That Works 08/11/2024

Learning Curve: Enough Is Enough 08/04/2024

Learning Curve: Enough Is Enough Tim DeFor | If you could wish for two things what would they be? I don't think the answer changes much over the history of humankind. Probably most would desire some combination of health, wealth and/or happiness. These can all be a real blessing and solve many problems, however a wise man of ancient days sees these things differently. Maybe he is on to something. /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/32431012

Learning Curve: Healthy Home Happy Life 07/28/2024

Learning Curve: Healthy Home Happy Life Tim DeFor | Everyone who marries wants a lasting loving marriage, filled with happiness, contentment, and companionship. Yet, 40% of first marriages, and over 50% of all marriages tragically end in divorce. The health of a marriage impacts the health of every area of life, making who and/or if you marry the second most important decision in your lifetime. Does the ancient godly wisdom of Proverbs have anything to say about this? /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/32320822

Learning Curve: Uncancel Culture 07/21/2024

Learning Curve: Uncancel Culture Tony Burke | Is it possible to live counter to culture and love one another like Jesus instead of ostracizing, boycotting or shunning one another when things don’t go our way? /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/32232482

Learning Curve: What's love got to do with it? 07/14/2024

Learning Curve: What's love got to do with it? Randall Coffin | What comes to mind when you think of something that is disgusting, repulsive, or something you just can’t stand? If God answered this question, what would be on his list? Do you think God’s list includes hazards that affect our lives and keep us from living our best lives? When you discover wisdom, do you truly see what love has got to do with it? /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/32128412

Learning Curve: Healthy Wisdom 07/07/2024

Learning Curve: Healthy Wisdom Tim DeFor | Heart disease is the leading killer in the US for men and women. It is a silent killer that develops over time. Everybody wants a healthy heart. Millions of books, blogs, videos and articles sell their ideas of what diets, sleep patterns, exercise, and even ways of thinking and speaking are best for your heart. Even more important than the physical condition is the spiritual condition of our heart. How can we in order to have the healthiest heart for the best possible life? The Bible has an answer. /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/32037042

Learning Curve: Wisdom at Work 06/30/2024

Learning Curve: Wisdom at Work Tim DeFor | Whether in the office or field, on the road or roof, at home or away, everyone wants their work to be productive, pleasing, and purposeful. People have written thousands of books on how to win at work, but no matter what you do without this one principle, you miss out on the greatest gains. /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/31949612

Learning Curve: The View Is Worth the Climb 06/23/2024

Learning Curve: The View Is Worth the Climb Tim DeFor | What is your why? When the path gets hard, it helps to remember why you took the hard path, to remember the destination, the view from the mountain lookout. Often wisdom doesn't come easy. Wouldn't it be better to just take the path of least resistance? A wise father tells us why gaining wisdom is worth the squeeze. /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/31854922

The Master Plan 06/02/2024

The Master Plan Kent Edwards | In the face of opposition and experiencing failure it is easy to get discouraged in sharing Jesus with others. This was true for the disciples and it is still true today. In the face of repeated and multifaceted ministry discouragement, how can we remain encouraged? /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/31567687

Twisted Scriptures | Untwisting God's Words 05/26/2024

Twisted Scriptures | Untwisting God's Words Tim DeFor | Understanding the Bible is serious business. Christians are to handle the Word of truth correctly, so God would approve and we will not be ashamed. If so, how seriously do you think God takes own his quoted words being twisted? This week, we look at three things God said that commonly get misused and how we can untwist them. /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/31470422

Twisted Scriptures: Everything for a Reason? 05/19/2024

Twisted Scriptures: Everything for a Reason? Tim DeFor | When tragedy descends, some well-meaning friend will often say "everything happens for a reason". They are saying that even though we don't know how, God is behind the events for our good, after all "God works all things for the good of those who love him," right? The answer may not be what you've been led to believe. /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/31371627

Twisted Scriptures: Too Much? 05/12/2024

Twisted Scriptures: Too Much? Randall Coffin | God won't give you more than you can handle. This phrase has been often said to encourage someone going through challenging stuff. It sounds Biblical. Is it from the Bible or a twist on scripture? /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/31251312

Twisted Scripture: Judge Not? 05/05/2024

Twisted Scripture: Judge Not? Tim DeFor | "Judge not, lest you be judged!" is a favorite verse of Christians and non-Christians alike. Does that mean anything goes? If not, how can Christians address sin without disobeying Jesus and destroying their walk and their witness? /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/31130933

Twisted Scripture: An American Promise? 04/28/2024

Twisted Scripture: An American Promise? TIm DeFor | Many see the hardships in America as God's judgment on our moral decay. As God's people, how should we respond? Getting it right can bring times of refreshing. Getting it wrong can lead us to misplace our hope. How can we be sure we aren't twisting God's great promise to "heal the land"? /episode/index/show/af6c6789-5f76-43e2-8ae7-c35d3a060f75/id/31019013
