Pride is one of the most subtle and dangerous sins addressed in Scripture—often unnoticed, yet deeply destructive. It elevates self above God, placing confidence in our own abilities, achievements, and understanding rather than in the Lord. The Bible warns us clearly of its consequences, reminding us in Proverbs 16:18 that “Pride goes before destruction.”

Unbelief is something every believer encounters at some point, yet Scripture makes it clear that it is not something to take lightly. The Bible reveals unbelief as a serious heart condition—one that, if left unchecked, can slowly pull us away from the living God. At the same time, God does not meet our struggle with condemnation, but with compassion. In this episode, we’ll explore how Scripture honestly acknowledges the tension between faith and doubt, and how the Lord invite

Trusting God is deeply connected to depending on Him—but for many of us, trust is where the real struggle begins. In Episode 31 of In the Light of Truth, we continued the conversation from last week by focusing on what it truly means to trust God, why surrender feels so difficult, and how faith grows in seasons of waiting, uncertainty, and obedience.

Dependence on God is one of the most beautiful realities of the Christian life—and yet one of the hardest to fully embrace. In Episode 30 of In the Light of Truth, we explored what it truly means to depend on God, why we struggle with it, and how learning to surrender control transforms the way we live, trust, and respond to life’s uncertainties.

In a world that celebrates self-promotion, independence, and personal achievement, biblical humility can feel foreign—and even uncomfortable. Yet Scripture makes it clear that humility is not optional for the believer. It is foundational to our walk with Christ.

In this episode we will talk about the sin of idolatry. How idols leave us feeling empty, unfulfilled and distant toward God.

When Jesus says His yoke is easy and His burden is light, it is absolutely true. We fight against it, thinking it will restrict us—but it does the opposite. It brings freedom. First, we rest by faith in Jesus Christ. Then, we rest through obedience to Him. Rest from fear is followed by rest from the burden of relying on ourselves.

Bitterness is one of those sins that often goes unnoticed—quietly growing beneath the surface of our hearts while we assume everything is fine. In Episode 27 of In the Light of Truth, Ashton and Chris dive into this sobering but deeply freeing topic: The Danger of Bitterness.

If you’re struggling with sexual sin, or carrying a wound from the past, please hear this: You are deeply loved. You are seen. You are wanted.God is not surprised by your story, and He is not ashamed of you. Your past—no matter how painful—does not disqualify you from God’s love, God’s forgiveness, or God’s purpose for your life.

Spiritual disciplines are not empty rituals or a checklist to impress God. They are habits of grace—rhythms that position our hearts to receive what God is already offering. These practices are about being shaped, not just doing tasks. When we feel spiritually dry, distant, or stuck, it’s often because these vital rhythms have been neglected. Not as punishment, but because God designed these practices to draw us near to Him—and without them, we drift.

The book of Leviticus points to Christ—the altar, the sacrifices—all foreshadow Him. And just as the priests kept the physical fire burning, we are instructed to keep the fire of our hearts burning: our devotion, passion, and love for God.

Now we offer up to God all the glorious praise that rises from every church in every generation through Jesus Christ - and all that will yet be manifest through time and eternity. Amen!

Abiding is one of those words we hear often in the Christian walk, yet for many of us it still feels mysterious or complicated. What does it actually mean to abide in Christ? How do we do it? And why does Jesus emphasize it so strongly? In John 15, Jesus uses the imagery of a vine and branches to help us understand this profound truth: “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me…"

I never would have considered myself promiscuous prior to becoming born again but as the Lord began to heal me I realized that most of my deep wounding was rooted in sexual sin. It left a trail of failed marriages, a broken family, and tremendous loss and heartbreak.

This is one of those terms Christians use often, but not everyone understands. Many people believe in God or have a general faith background, but being “born again” is something deeper — it describes an inner transformation the Holy Spirit does in us. Before salvation, many people resist the idea of sin. It feels uncomfortable. It feels exposing. But the Holy Spirit is often convicting long before we recognize His voice.The natural, fleshly part of us wants independence, pri

Pray that the Master's Word will simply take off and race through the country to a groundswell of response.

Understanding the attributes of God shapes everything about following Him. It deepens our worship, strengthens our faith, and transforms how we love others.

You get no pleasure from the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. When I come to worship you, who asked me to parade through your courts with all my ceremony? All of this struck my heart, and I knew it was true. Yes, I had opened the store for Him and yes it was a pretty gift. But my heart was far from offering this to Him from a place of love.

When we talk about God’s attributes, we aren’t just describing what He does; we’re describing who He is. These are not temporary qualities or moments—these are the very essence of His being. And the more clearly we understand who God is, the more clearly we understand who we are, and how we are called to live in relationship with Him.

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.
