Send us a textJoin us for the season finale as we conclude our study on why we need preachers. This week we discuss the need to preach the whole council of God, and not to hand pick the sermons and topics that we prefer.

Send us a textAfter discussing some of Haston's favorite sermons, we should discuss the need for preachers, and what it means to be a preacher. Join Haston as he begins this end of the year discussion on preaching. 

Send us a textHave you ever been lied to, convinced of something that was not right, or even deceived on a spiritual matter?

Send us a textJoin Haston today as he brings to a close the study on seeking the lost. How are we acting when it comes to lost souls?

Let's start acting like everyone has a soul.

To better understand Christian Evidences, and our belief in the Bible, we must seek to look for proof of the accuracy of the Bible. Join us today as we discuss evidences of inspiration within the Bible. 

What does a Navy maps specialist, a Disney movie, and the book of Psalms have in common? Each one taught about the great mystery of oceanography, and confirm the words of Psalm 8:8. Join us as we discuss how we can grow our faith by looking to the ocean. 

This week as we continue on our study of Christian Evidences we are joined by Renn Ferguson to discuss prophesies that we can find within the pages of the Bible, and are fulfilled through either Biblical or historical evidences. Check out Renn's podcast "The Conclusion of the Matter" wherever you get your podcasts.

With much of the world seeking to combine the Bible and science at the expense of changing the truth, we must ask the question, what does the Bible say about creation? Was Christ a created being? Do the days of creation leave room for evolution? Join Haston on this study of creation. 

Have you ever wondered how the universe began? Perhaps you have been taught something without ever actually looking into it. Join Haston as he studies this topic in an attempt to grow our faith and understanding through Christian Evidences. 

Have you ever wondered if the flood ever actually happened? Maybe you have wondered if there is actual proof of this thing from so long ago. Join us today as we discuss that very question. 

There have been many who have asked the question, "How old is the earth?" There have been almost as many answers as there have been those who have asked this. Today we will seek to determine an age range of the earth, and what the Bible has to say about that. 

Have you ever thought how the human body shows the existence of God? When we think the intelligent design of God's creation, we do not have to look far for these evidences. Join us today as we discuss the comparison between biology and the Bible.

What does rocks, dust, caves, and things long forgotten have to do with the Bible? Better yet how can we use those things to be able to better understand, and trust the Bible? Join us today as we discuss how archeology and the Bible work in tandem to confirm God's Word. 

How do I talk to someone who does not believe the Bible? What do I do when I need to prove the Bible? How do science and the Bible work together? All of these questions and more will be answered this season on Fortifying your Faith.

Everything that we do on a daily, or weekly basis that has become normal is a habit. What about how we live our Christian life? Is it a habit to pray? Perhaps we need to make a habit of studying. Let's discuss developing faithful habits today as we approach the new year.

Why do you believe what you believe? Why do you attend where you attend? Many times the answer to these questions is "Because that is what I have always known." Today let's take a look at our faith, and see how to make it our own

Life is hard, and brings about hardships when we least expect it. What do we do when difficulties arise? Do we draw closer to God or do we allow ourselves to grow further away from God? Let's discuss this week how to turn our pain into faithfulness.

Faith and obedience is often synonymous, though they build upon each other. Join me today as we discuss how our faith can continue to grow by continually being obedient.

How is it that we know who God is? How do we know what to do to be considered faithful? How do we become approved before God? It is through studying God's word, join us today as we discuss that exact thing.

When we discuss one of the greatest men of faith we have to look at Abraham, a great man of faith who constantly lived by faith.

When life throws you a curve ball, and it seems as your whole world has been turned upside down, we ought to stand firm, and turn to God in faith as Mary did when her life changed in just a matter of moments.

When life and others constantly stand in opposition to us living our lives, we must take a page from Hannah's book, and turn to God with all faith.

When we look at the world today we find that there is a growing number of people who do not believe in God, or are not faithful to God. What does it take for someone to be faithful to God when seemingly the whole world has turned their back on God?
