Truth for Today is a podcast by Pastor Terry Fant. A place to grow as a believer and to investigate as a nonbeliever.Topics for growth in every area of the Christian life.
God's grace reaches both the wayward and the self-righteous. This well-known parable from Luke 15 isn't just about the prodigal son, but about the loving Father. The sermon unpacks how we wander through self-centeredness and self-sufficiency, how repentance brings restoration, and how the Father rejoices when His children return home.
Jesus came to seek and save sinners, and every soul matters deeply to Him. In this message, we walk through the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin, being reminded of our calling to shine as lights in a dark world and to carry God's heart for the lost. Let's do whatever it takes to reach one more soul! Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

Every person receives an invitation to the Kingdom, but not everyone responds. In Luke 14, Jesus tells the Parable of the Great Banquet, a powerful picture of God's invitation to salvation.

The smallest things in our hands can become miracles in His. In Mark 6:30–44, Jesus performs one of His most familiar miracles — feeding thousands with just five loaves and two fish. But this miracle wasn't just about food; it was a lesson in faith, dependence, and compassion. In this message we are reminded that even when we are not enough, Jesus always is!

In Luke 7:36–50 a woman with a painful past pours out extravagant devotion at Jesus' feet—and Jesus declares her forgiven.

Even though we continually betray Him, God still graciously calls us to repent, return, and experience the abundant life only He can give!
Terry and Ryan discuss what is praise and authentic worship!
Some parenting encouragement!
God's rescue plan is unlike any other — through the humility, suffering, and death of Jesus, we find eternal life and victory. Isaiah 52–53 reminds us that Christ bore our sin, took our punishment, and brought us hope.
In this message from Psalm 107, we're reminded that all of us are searching for something—but often in the wrong places. Whether we're wandering, rebelling, or overwhelmed by the storm, God stands ready to rescue, redeem, and restore. The first step? A cry for help.
What if your entire life of worship hinged on one truth? In this powerful message from Psalm 100, we're reminded that everything changes when we believe—truly believe—that God is good. From shouting joyfully to serving gladly, worship becomes our response to His worth and our proof that we trust His goodness.
In this special episode, Pastor Terry Fant joins Cross Talk Radio for a powerful conversation on vision, leadership, and staying faithful to God's calling. Don't miss this encouraging and insightful discussion!
In this message from Psalm 33, we're reminded that praise isn't just a feeling—it's a vocal and intentional response to the goodness, power, and faithfulness of God. We were made to praise, and God is worthy of every sound we lift to Him.
In this powerful message from Psalm 1, we're invited to examine the difference between the life of the righteous and the unrighteous—and to ask ourselves which path we're really on. Righteousness is more than doing good; it's a life transformed by Christ, empowered by His Spirit, and lived for His glory.
In this message from Isaiah 6:1–8, we're reminded that true surrender begins with seeing God clearly, recognizing our own sinfulness, and receiving His forgiveness. When we encounter God's holiness, the only right response is total surrender.
Pride and humility lead to very different places. In this episode, we look at the story of King Uzziah in 2 Chronicles 26 and see how God responds to both. One attitude leads to strength and blessing—while the other leads to downfall. Tune in to see how God exalts the humble and humbles the exalted.
Faith is a difficult thing. As a Christian, it's normal to wrestle with things we don't fully understand. After all, God is so great, it can be hard to wrap our minds around Him. In this episode, we're taking time to answer some of your questions and seek truth together through the lens of Scripture.
We've all messed up—but failure doesn't have to be the end of the story. In this episode, we dive into Jonah's journey and see how God meets us in our lowest moments. If you've ever felt like you blew it, this message is for you. God restores failure.
What is the knowledge of GOD? Why is it spoken of so much in the new testament? What impact does it have on grace and peace in my life? Tune in for these answers and much more!
Sometimes the biggest thing standing in the way of God's help… is us. In this episode, we look at the story of Naaman and see how pride can block the rescue God wants to give. Humility isn't easy, but it's the key to experiencing God's best.
In 1 Kings 17, God provides for Elijah in unexpected ways. This message encourages us to trust that when we walk by faith, God will always make a way to meet our needs.
In this message, we're reminded that God honors those who are faithful to Him. When we choose loyalty to the Lord, He responds with strength, protection, and blessing. Tune in and be encouraged to stay faithful—because loyalty has its rewards!
What are you doing with your time, talent, and treasure? What are you building with your life—and is it truly meaningful? In this message, we're reminded that the only life that truly matters is the one lived for the Lord. Tune in to discover how you can live a life full of purpose and meaning.
Who are you following? Maybe a better question is—are you leading yourself? In this message, we explore how following "me" leads to hard places. But when we follow God, even the hard places can become pleasant places.
Who or what is calling the shots in your life? Have you ever found yourself following the wrong lead—whether it was your emotions, a habit, or some other influence—only to end up where you never intended to be? In this message, we uncover one of the most common "masters", learn how to break its grip, and discover how to let the Lord take His rightful place as the master of your life.
Wisdom has great value -- but only when it's applied. Don't just hear it, live it. Tune in to this message and discover how to receive and walk in true wisdom!
God is love—but does He hate anything? We often associate God with love—and rightly so. But in Proverbs 6, Scripture reveals seven things that God hates. In this episode, we explore what those are, why they matter, and how we can guard our hearts and lives against them.
Avoid adultery—avoid devastation. In this episode, we dive into Proverbs 5 to examine the far-reaching consequences of adultery and discover how to guard our hearts against this destructive sin. Lean in and learn how wisdom leads to freedom.
Sometimes, you just have to celebrate what God has done in your life! In this message, we're reminded that our lives should be living proof of His transforming work. God truly changes people—for His glory and for our good.
In this message, we explore the important truth that God graciously guides His children. Through conviction and correction, He lovingly leads us toward repentance and restoration in every area of our lives.
If we're honest… most of us don't like being helped. Pride often gets in the way of receiving the help we desperately need. But in this message, we're reminded of two powerful truths: 1. We need God's help. 2.God loves to help those who love Him.
God is the remedy for our despair! No matter how bad a situation may seem, we should cry out to God and wait for his help. He promises to be with us!
