I review a video about current church trends

What does it really mean to be "well"? And does Christianity truly provide a way to remain well in the middle of pain, suffering, depression, loneliness, tragedy, sickness, fear, discouragement, and emotional collapse? In this episode, I review a sermon titled "How to Be Well When It's Not Well"

Late last night/early this morning a podcast came to an end.

What does it really mean to live a "consecrated life"?It's a phrase used constantly in sermons, books, and Christian teaching—often described as total surrender, deeper holiness, or a higher level of spiritual living. But is that what the Bible actually means?

A sermon review of God's Helps for Your Hurts from Psalm 34:19.

David says, "I will teach you the fear of the LORD."But the moment behind Psalm 34 shows him afraid of a pagan king.So what is this psalm actually teaching—fear of God or fear of man?

Are seminaries really in trouble… or is the entire system fundamentally broken? In this impromptu episode, we take a hard look at the growing claims that seminaries are declining—falling enrollment, financial pressure, institutional instability—and ask a much deeper question: Should this system even exist in the first place?

Does correct Bible interpretation produce spiritual transformation?Many claim that a faithful understanding of Scripture will naturally lead to humility, repentance, faith, and obedience—and that these outcomes can even confirm that an interpretation is correct. But is that true?

Sunday School feels like a normal, unquestioned part of church life. But where did it actually come from—and why does it exist?In this episode, we step back and examine the historical origins of Sunday School.
