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.

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.

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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.
