Head coverings, praying for enemies, and worldliness… 02/07/2026

Head coverings, praying for enemies, and worldliness… What does the Corinthian passage about head coverings, women and men really mean? Do we need to be praying for our enemies? Who exactly are they? What does it mean to be worldly? How do we avoid being worldly? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/40026855

“Why do Catholics believe wine becomes blood?” 02/06/2026

“Why do Catholics believe wine becomes blood?” How do I help my Catholic friend who believes every communion becomes the body and blood of Christ? What is the difference between your soul and your spirit? My mother died two weeks ago, and I wonder if she is already with God or has to wait. Can you explain that? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/40015330

“Why forgive those who hurt you?” 02/05/2026

“Why forgive those who hurt you?” I know someone who was hurt deeply by an abusive church experience. I shared with them the message of forgiveness found in Matthew 18. But I wonder if you have any other thoughts on forgiving people who have hurt you? A lady at my church keeps telling me that the Holy Spirit has new messages for me. She is scaring me, but at the same time, I wonder if I’m missing out on hearing from God! How do I keep my young children interested in Jesus? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/40001180

“How can I share Christ with him?” 02/04/2026

“How can I share Christ with him?” I’m dating a man who has a terrible temper and lashes out at me, then apologizes, then does it again. What are your thoughts? How do I share Jesus with my coworker who is from Syria? I feel like I’ve fallen away from God, and I’m afraid He’s going to tell me to depart from Him. Can you help? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39987945

“We carry a treasure within us!” 02/03/2026

“We carry a treasure within us!” My friend says Israel is the light, and she is really into Zohar. Can you help me with what I can say to her? Can you expound on the adventure of growing in grace? I’m beginning to see it’s not about pressure or measuring myself. Can you talk about that? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39973560

Agape love? Hyper-grace? Biblical or dangerous? 02/01/2026

Agape love? Hyper-grace? Biblical or dangerous? Can true believers still struggle with fear? How do God’s love and God’s grace relate to each other? Why does everyone seem to agree about love but then divide over grace? Is the teaching about abiding in John 15 really about losing salvation? Why does Romans say the gifts and the calling of God are “without repentance”? This gospel is so incredible! I just want my friends to get it, and it’s frustrating when they don’t! /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39953975

Perfect Love: Slamming the Door on Fear 02/01/2026

Perfect Love: Slamming the Door on Fear Are you trying to love God… or letting Him love you? What if fear isn’t something you overcome by effort? In this message, I tackle the lie many Christians carry: that fear is normal, that God is distant, and that courage comes from trying harder instead of trusting God’s love. Scripture says something drastically different: perfect love casts out fear. Not later, not eventually, not if you do everything right—now. This is about a reality so solid it slams the door on fear because there’s no room left for it. Check this out and discover how God’s perfect love drives out fear. Discussion Questions for 1 John 4: Read verse 7 and react to this statement: Love is your spiritual DNA now. Read verse 10. How do God’s love and Jesus as propitiation relate to each other? Read verses 13 and 15. How do these help us understanding “abiding” with clarity? Read verses 17-18. What does God’s love mean for judgment and punishment? Read verse 19. Should we be producers or receivers? Explain. Read verses 11 and 21. How do we interpret “ought” and “should” in light of grace? What was your biggest takeaway from this message on God’s love for you? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39954085

“How can I be a doer of the word?” 01/31/2026

“How can I be a doer of the word?” I’m so grateful for God’s grace! What does it mean to be a “doer of the word”? Why did a man sacrifice his own daughter in Judges 11? Is Jesus the Father? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39943065

Fresh anointing? “Esau I hated”? 01/30/2026

Fresh anointing? “Esau I hated”? Do we ever need a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit? What does “Jacob I loved, Esau I hated” mean in Romans 9? What about the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart? And aren’t these evidence of God pre-selecting individuals for salvation? How bold or careful should we be in sharing our faith with our children as they grow up? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39930620

“Examine yourselves? Get right before going to the altar?” 01/29/2026

“Examine yourselves? Get right before going to the altar?” What is baptism in the Holy Spirit? When does it happen? Are we supposed to examine our recent sins before we take communion? And why does Paul say to “test yourselves” in 2 Corinthians 13? Finally, what about Jesus saying to get right with others before you go to the altar? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39918290

“How do I find God’s will?” 01/28/2026

“How do I find God’s will?” I’m struggling with the challenge of trying to do God’s will. I want to walk in obedience, pray about everything, and try not to get ahead of God. So many people think you can walk away from Christ and they use 1 Timothy 4, and 2 Peter 2, and Hebrew 6&10 to argue their case. What do you say about all of those? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39904845

"Does a wall of sin build up over time between us and God?" 01/27/2026

"Does a wall of sin build up over time between us and God?" I felt sick while watching a movie scene, so I walked out. What was that exactly? Grieving or quenching the Spirit? Or was it my own spirit provoked within me? Or my conscience? And what if I had remained in the theater? Would my ministry effectiveness be blocked until I confess it? Does a wall build up between us and God when we sin? What are your thoughts on the spiritual disciplines? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39891510

"How do we walk by faith? How do we walk by the Spirit?" 01/26/2026

"How do we walk by faith? How do we walk by the Spirit?" How do we walk by faith and not by feelings? Aaron made an excuse for his sin, and God didn't punish Him? How can I know that God's gospel promises are for me individually? What do you think of Billy Graham? Is the Bible on audio a good approach to learning more? How do we walk by the Spirit consistently? What tools do we need? My wife and mother passed away on the same day a year ago. I can't help but think sometimes that it was God trying to tell me something; and it's just a lot to grieve all at once. /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39891500

Honoring Jesus 01/25/2026

Honoring Jesus Here’s the secret to enjoying God’s love… Discussion Questions: What does the average person think it means to “honor Jesus”? What does it really mean to honor Him? And His finished work? How do we honor the cross? The blood? How do we honor God’s grace? Our freedom? How do we honor our union with Christ? Our newness? Our closeness? React to this statement: Honoring Jesus means we stop asking for what we already have in Him. React to this statement: Honoring Jesus is the secret to enjoying God’s love. What kind of confidence springs forth when we honor Jesus? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39868945

Is the finished work of Christ “just semantics“? 01/24/2026

Is the finished work of Christ “just semantics“? What is modalism? How do I convince someone to abandon it in favor of the Trinity? I’m a newlywed, and I want my husband to understand the message of God’s grace to the fullest. What can I do? My youth pastor seems to be teaching some things that don’t quite align with the gospel. How can I handle that? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39858350

Why ask for what you already have? 01/23/2026

Why ask for what you already have? How is forgiveness different in the old covenant versus the new covenant? What is the finished work of Christ? What is the significance of Jesus being seated at God’s right hand? Why shouldn’t we continue to ask for forgiveness? What should we do instead? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39845895

Do we "help" God? Do we have to "put Him first"? If so, how? 01/22/2026

Do we "help" God? Do we have to "put Him first"? If so, how? Why did Jesus tell people to "be perfect" when He knew we couldn't? What does it mean to have a new heart? A new spirit? What about our minds? Are they new or being renewed? I tell my friends that I don't have to help Jesus, and they look at me strangely. Am I right? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39820875

"Is the Sabbath about church on Saturday? Or Sunday? Or resting in Christ any day? Help!" 01/21/2026

"Is the Sabbath about church on Saturday? Or Sunday? Or resting in Christ any day? Help!" Do I have a guardian angel? My friend says I need to go to church and worship on Saturday to truly please God. He even says my salvation may depend on it. Is he right? What "generation" was Jesus talking about in Matthew 24? And what is preterism? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39807035

"Worse off at the end than they were at the beginning?" (2 Peter 2) 01/20/2026

"Worse off at the end than they were at the beginning?" (2 Peter 2) Who was Elihu in the book of Job? What is the main point in Job? My church only invited members to the Valentine's Day event. Where do we see church membership in the Bible? I'm confused by 2 Peter 2:20 and surrounding verses. Who is Peter talking about? Is this about false teachers, Christians, or both? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39793330

“Predestined to be conformed”?* 01/18/2026

“Predestined to be conformed”?* What are the spiritual blessings that we’ve been given in Christ? What does it mean to be “conformed” to the image of Christ in Romans 8? Do we need to agree with everything that Israel ever does out of fear of being cursed (Genesis 12)? What does it mean to be unequally yoked? Doesn’t Genesis 9 teach that we will be punished for taking a life? How does that reconcile with our forgiveness in Christ? *previously aired /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39774690

The Questions that Change Everything - Part 2 01/18/2026

The Questions that Change Everything - Part 2 What if everything you’ve been taught about trying harder in your Christian life… is exactly what’s keeping you stuck. In The Questions that Change Everything - Part 2, we dive deep into the most important questions about the Holy Spirit, judgment, and disappointing God. And the surprising answers bring a newfound liberation in Jesus. Most teaching tells you to push harder, try again, don’t slip up. But what if that’s exactly the approach that makes things worse? Check out this message to discover a way of living that’s not about force… but about freedom—a Christianity that feels “easy and light” because it’s rooted in Jesus, not performance. Discussion Questions: What does it mean to be “led by the Spirit”? What does it mean to “walk by the Spirit”? What exactly happens when we commit sins? Can we disappoint God? If we are totally forgiven, what will we be judged for? Why does religion make God feel distant when He’s not? Is Christianity really supposed to feel easy and light? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39774655

“God’s grace excites me!” 01/17/2026

“God’s grace excites me!” One pastor said giving from the heart is the same as “sacrificial” giving. Is that a good way to describe it? How would you counsel someone who is committing sexual sin? Would you still tell them they’re “once saved, always saved”? What do they need to hear and believe for real change? I’m so excited now, because God’s grace is more than awesome! /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39765330

“What is Revelation really about?” 01/16/2026

“What is Revelation really about?” Finally, I no longer question my salvation! How can we best understand the book of Revelation? I can’t find a church that teaches grace. What should I do? It seems like so many worship songs don’t really reflect the truth of the gospel. What can churches do about that? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39754035

“My wife and son died. Are they saved?” 01/15/2026

“My wife and son died. Are they saved?” What does it really take to be saved? I keep hearing mixed messages on the internet. My wife and son have passed away, and I’m very concerned. I struggled all my life with religiosity, but God‘s grace has set me free! How much theology do you have to have right to be saved? How do you reconcile “born of water” (John 3) with water baptism (Acts 2:38)? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39736825

“Am I qualified to minister to others?” 01/14/2026

“Am I qualified to minister to others?” What is the main point of the book of Job? I’ve heard we can walk away from Christ. Is this true? I want to start encouraging people with the truth of God‘s grace online. Do I need to wait until I’m a church member? In Acts 8, was Simon the sorcerer a true believer? How could he be so deluded about buying the Holy Spirit? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39723630

“Will my sins block God’s blessing?” 01/13/2026

“Will my sins block God’s blessing?” I’m of Jewish descent. Do I need to be under the Law? My church keeps asking me about membership. Do I need to be a member? I’ve been struggling lately, and I worry my sins might prevent God from giving me a breakthrough. How can I know for sure what my purpose is in life? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39709410

“Predestined to be conformed”? 01/11/2026

“Predestined to be conformed”? What are the spiritual blessings that we’ve been given in Christ? What does it mean to be “conformed” to the image of Christ in Romans 8? Do we need to agree with everything that Israel ever does out of fear of being cursed (Genesis 12)? What does it mean to be unequally yoked? Doesn’t Genesis 9 teach that we will be punished for taking a life? How does that reconcile with our forgiveness in Christ? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39690025

The Questions that Change Everything 01/11/2026

The Questions that Change Everything Questions That Challenge Everything About Sin and Grace What if the biggest problem in your Christian life isn’t your lack of effort or discipline? What if it’s the questions you’ve been asking? But what if those questions are keeping you stuck? This message challenges some deeply ingrained assumptions and asks questions that may feel unsettling at first—but end up being incredibly freeing. This message may stretch you (in the best way possible!). You’ll see what happens when the focus shifts from trying harder… to trusting Jesus even more. Discussion Questions: As a believer, do you want to sin or not? Explain. What exactly is the flesh? How is it not you? If you’re totally forgiven, why do you still feel so guilty at times? Where does repentance factor into the finished work of Christ? Why does “trying to obey God” often make you sin even worse? What does it mean to “walk by the Spirit”? Why do people think too much grace causes sin? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39680260

“What’s the unforgivable sin?” 01/10/2026

“What’s the unforgivable sin?” Have you ever noticed that Jesus talks about the “unforgivable sin” with religious leaders? What does “only Israel have I known” mean in Amos 3? Why did Jesus say He wasn’t going to the feast in John 14 if later He went? What are your thoughts on the Ten Commandments in the life of a believer? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39680720

“Both Jesus and sin live in us?” 01/09/2026

“Both Jesus and sin live in us?” Do we have Jesus and sin living inside us at the same time? I’m starting to see issues with the message at my church, but I really love the people. What should I do? What’s the meaning of Romans 3:30? How does it relate to the mixed message we see today? /episode/index/show/andrewfarley/id/39668575
