We live in a world that teaches us to chase what feels easy — to protect our peace, stay safe, and avoid anything that causes discomfort. But when we look at Scripture, we see that following Jesus was never meant to be comfortable.

Spiritual ignorance doesn’t mean someone is unintelligent. It means they are uninformed or unaware of what God has said. And when we don’t know His Word, we can’t recognize when something contradicts it.

As we step into October, conversations about Halloween begin to surface everywhere — schools, neighborhoods, stores, and social media. For many families, it’s a season of costumes, candy, and fun. But for believers, this time of year can stir important questions: 👉 Should Christians participate in Halloween?👉 Is it harmless fun, or something deeper?👉 What are some God-honoring alternatives for our families?

Modern Christianity often limits worship to music or singing during a Sunday service. While those are powerful expressions, worship extends far beyond that—it’s our obedience to God in everyday life.

As believers, we often think, “I would never be angry at God.” Yet, when life doesn’t go the way we hoped—when loss, disappointment, or confusion strike—it can happen before we realize it.

As believers, we’re not called to silence — but to spirit-led discernment.We are to stand firm in truth, led by the Holy Spirit, and motivated by love.Sometimes that means speaking; other times, it means praying. In every case, it means trusting that God is the ultimate Judge. So before we judge, let’s pause and pray: “Lord, reveal my heart.” “Show me if there’s a plank in my own eye.” “Give me wisdom to love like You do.”

Unforgiveness is sneaky. Sometimes we think we’ve let go of something, but our actions and emotions tell a different story. Maybe we avoid someone, speak harshly of them, or replay the hurt in our minds. True forgiveness means loving someone as though the wound never happened — not pretending it didn’t, but choosing to let God’s grace cover it.

The times we’re living in make it clear: we can’t be half-hearted. We need bold, awake faith that points people to Jesus. Yes, the world feels heavy and uncertain. But that shouldn’t drive us to fear—it should move us to action. So the question is: How will you press in? How will you live awake? Maybe it’s strengthening your personal prayer life. Maybe it’s starting family worship after dinner. Maybe it’s simply choosing to share Jesus with a co-worker or neighbor.

Patience isn’t just waiting—it’s trusting. It’s believing God’s promises even when the outcome is unseen. Trials refine us. Waiting strengthens us. And through patience, we are made complete.

Fear is a tool of the enemy. Satan knows our weaknesses and wounds, and he uses fear to keep us stuck, anxious, and doubting God’s goodness. But fear is a liar. It prevents us from embracing the life God has called us to and robs us of the freedom Christ has already won.

Yoga’s roots aren’t neutral—and what we yoke ourselves to shapes our worship. In this episode we talk about why believers can’t rebrand what’s spiritual at its core, the danger of mixing altars, and how sin’s deceitfulness slowly dulls our discernment.

If it has to be said in a whisper or when the person being talked about is not around, it probably shouldn’t be said at all. In this episode we unpack how gossip fractures trust, poisons community, and grieves God—and how the gospel gives us a better way. We get practical about: • What gossip actually is (and isn’t) • The heart behind it: insecurity, envy, idle talk • The difference between venting, seeking counsel, and slander • A 4-question filter before you speak: Is it tr

Selfishness might feel natural, but it quietly pulls us away from the life God calls us to. In John, we’re reminded that living for ourselves leads to emptiness, but laying our lives down for Christ leads to true joy and purpose. This week we’re unpacking how selfishness can disguise itself, the dangers it brings to our walk with God, and how surrendering to Jesus changes everything.

I want to share something that happened to me on Saturday. We had our Flowers and Fellowship event at the store this past weekend. At the event people made floral bouquets with scripture tags written in them to give to others.

Obedience to God is not about legalism or following a checklist. It’s a direct expression of our love for Him.

Freedom in Christ is a gift—so how do we walk in it with wisdom and know what is not good for our hearts? In this episode of In the Light of Truth, we explore how discernment keeps our liberty from becoming a stumbling block. “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” — Galatians 5:13

In this episode, we're talking about something that does not get glamorized-but is central to walking with Christ: suffering for His name. What does it mean to suffer with Christ? How do we endure it with hope? Why is it actually a mark of belonging to him? How do we find joy when life feels really hard? Suffering isn't a detour in the Christian life - it's a part of the path. We endure hardship for the sake of Christ, the joy found in obedience, and the deeper purpose behind

When we think about friendship, we often picture encouragement, laughter, maybe praying together — and those things are beautiful. But true Christian fellowship is deeper than just feeling good. Sometimes, love means having hard conversations. We’re not talking about confronting strangers, random people online, or unbelievers. We mean the people you’re walking arm in arm with — your closest Christian friends.

Today we wanted to talk about finding contentment. In a world constantly chasing more—more success, more stuff, more validation—how do we find true contentment? Today, we talk about what it means to be satisfied in Christ alone—even in grief, loss, or seasons of waiting.

The word “ambassador” may sound lofty or intimidating, but Scripture is clear: every believer represents Christ. Just like a brand ambassador reflects the values and image of a company, we are called to reflect the heart of Jesus in everything we do—especially in places like our schools, jobs, and communities.
