What do we do when life feels unfair—when those who seem far from God appear to be winning?In this episode of Your Life,Dr. Tony Haire and Dan DeBruler dig into Jeremiah 12, where the prophet asks God a question we've all wondered: “Why do the wicked prosper?”Through that honest conversation between Jeremiah and God, Tony and Dan remind us that God welcomes our questions—He can handle every doubt and frustration we bring. But His reply to Jeremiah still echoes today: “If you have raced with the footmen and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses?”It's God's gentle way of saying, “Stay focused. Build endurance. The tougher tests are ahead, but I'm with you.”Your Life airs Tuesdays at 2pm Eastern on Christian 105.7 - WCLN-FMConnect and learn more at Christian1057.com
When life feels uncertain, what does it mean that Jesus is the Way? Dr. Tony Haire and Dan DeBruler trace the context around John 14—Judas' betrayal, Peter's denial, Thomas' question—and explain why the “way” isn't a route but a Person.They model Christlike responses to real-world tensions (customer conflicts, online pushback), talk trust vs. feelings, and urge believers to leverage media to spread hope.The episode ends with a clear invitation to follow Jesus and next steps for new believers.-------Pastor–counselor Dr. Tony Haire and broadcaster–pastor Dan DeBruler unpack John 14:1–6—“I am the way, the truth, and the life”—and show how trusting Jesus shapes everyday responses to conflict, culture, social media, and relationships.

Many believers talk about God. Fewer truly know Him.This week on Your Life, Dan DeBruler and Dr. Tony Haire dismantle the idea that religion alone equals relationship. Looking at John 7 through fresh eyes, they challenge listeners to trade surface familiarity for deep, personal communion with Jesus.In this episode:John 7 : 25‑31 (NIV) — When the religious crowd couldn't recognize Christ standing in front of them.Why “knowing about” God isn't the same as knowing Him.How daily surrender deepens intimacy with Christ.When faith becomes personal — and transforms how we see ourselves and others.Practical steps to cultivate an everyday awareness of His presence.This is honest, Spirit‑led teaching from two voices who bring the Word home — helping us anchor faith not in familiarity, but in fellowship.Key Verse“You both know me and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him, but I know him because I am from him and he sent me.”— John 7 : 28‑29 (NIV)Your Life airs Tuesdays at 2pm Eastern on Christian 105.7 - WCLN-FMConnect and learn more at Christian1057.com
Joseph didn't cause the crisis—but it was his assignment; here's how taking responsibility becomes part of God's redemption story. Dan and Tony walk through Matthew 1:18–25 to show how Joseph's obedience reframes responsibility. God breaks 400 years of silence, interrupts Joseph's plans, and asks him to own an assignment he didn't cause—to take Mary as his wife, name the child Jesus, and steward a story bigger than his reputation.You'll hear practical, pastoral counsel for men and families: slowing down to hear God, choosing obedience over optics, and engaging relatives who are far from Christ with questions, presence, and example. It's a call to take responsibility in our homes, churches, and communities—especially when it's uncomfortable.Your Life airs Tuesdays at 2pm Eastern on Christian 105.7 - WCLN-FM
How to diagnose whether you're conforming to the culture or being transformed by the renewing of your mind—and what to do next.Today's question is simple and searching: Am I being conformed or transformed? Romans 12:1–2 says real worship is a whole-life offering, a refusal to copy the patterns of this world, and a mind God keeps renewing. We'll look at clear signs of conformity, the fruits of true transformation, and a one-week plan to reset your mind and rhythms—so your faith looks like Tuesday afternoon, not just Sunday morning.Conformed: 5 telltales (quick hits)Hurry > Holiness: pace sets your priorities; prayer is an afterthought.Outrage diet: inputs are mostly news, hot takes, and conflict; peace rarely visits.Comparison economics: spending and posting to keep up, not to serve.Compartment faith: spiritual talk at church; different voice online/at work.Feelings as facts: Scripture adjusts to me instead of me adjusting to Scripture.Transformed: 5 fruitsSurrendered body: schedule, sexuality, appetites under Jesus (a “living sacrifice”).Scripture reflex: first frame is the Word; you test impressions by it.Stable joy/peace: not denial—resilience (Phil 4:7) in real pressure.Non-anxious presence: slower speech, quicker listening, gentler answers.Discernment: growing clarity about “good, acceptable, perfect” will in choices.7-Day Renewal Plan (doable, specific)Day 1 — Reset inputs: 24-hour news/social fast. Read Romans 12 & Colossians 3.Day 2 — Present your body: take a 20-minute walk; pray, “All of me, for all of You.”Day 3 — Renew your mind: memorize Romans 12:1–2; write it on a card/phone.Day 4 — Replace patterns: identify one “worldly pattern” (outrage, cynicism, comparison). Swap it with a kingdom habit (gratitude list, blessing someone, silence).Day 5 — Community check: ask a mature believer, “Where do you see conformity in me?” Receive, don't defend.Day 6 — Generosity rep: give something that costs you—time, money, or spotlight.Day 7 — Discernment hour: device-free hour with Bible + journal: “Lord, what next step proves renewal?” Act on one thing within 48 hours.Your Life airs Tuesdays at 2pm Eastern on Christian 105.7 - WCLN-FM

Where do your pitch your tent? Genesis 12:7-8
"What is the work of God?" "Are we doing His work?"John 6:28-30 (ESV) Then they said to him, "What must we do, to be doing the works of God?" Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent." So they said to him, "Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform?"
Matthew 9:35-38 (ESV):"And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
