Send us Fan MailWhy do bad things happen to good people?It's one of the most difficult and personal questions we face. Whether it's the loss of a loved one, a devastating diagnosis, a broken relationship, or an unexpected tragedy, suffering has a way of leaving us searching for answers.In this episode of *Ask A Pastor*, Pastor Todd explores what the Bible says about pain, suffering, and God's presence in the middle of life's hardest moments. Looking at passages from Romans, Job, John, James, and the life of Jesus Himself, we discover that while Scripture doesn't always give us a simple explanation for suffering, it does give us something better—a God who walks with us through it.Join us as we discuss why suffering exists in a fallen world, why not all suffering is punishment, how God can use pain to shape our faith, and the hope we have because of Christ's victory over death. If you've ever wrestled with questions about suffering, this conversation will encourage you to trust God's character even when you don't understand His plans.We may not always know the reason for our suffering, but we can trust the God who walks with us through it.Support the show

Send us Fan MailCan women be pastors? It's a question Christians have debated for generations, and one that often sparks strong opinions on both sides. In this episode of Ask A Pastor, Pastor Todd takes an honest, Scripture-centered look at one of the most discussed topics in the Church today.Starting with Pentecost and God's promise to pour out His Spirit on “sons and daughters,” this episode explores what the Bible says about calling, spiritual gifts, leadership, and the role of women in ministry. From Deborah, Miriam, and Huldah in the Old Testament to Priscilla, Phoebe, Anna, and Junia in the New Testament, Pastor Todd examines the many women God used to lead, teach, prophesy, and advance His kingdom.What about the passages that seem to restrict women in ministry? How should we understand Paul's words in 1 Timothy and 1 Corinthians? And what can we learn from the fruit of women who have faithfully served, preached, planted churches, and led others to Christ throughout church history?Whether you agree, disagree, or are still wrestling with the question, this conversation seeks to approach the topic with biblical integrity, humility, and a desire to follow wherever God leads.Join us as we explore what Scripture teaches about calling, gifting, and the work of the Holy Spirit—and ask an important question: If God has called someone, who are we to stand in the way?Support the show

Send us Fan MailWhat does it actually mean to be saved? And how can you know for certain that you belong to Jesus?In this episode of Ask A Pastor, we tackle one of the most important and personal questions a person can ask: "Am I really saved?" Whether you've struggled with doubt after a difficult season, wondered if your faith is genuine, or questioned whether you're doing enough to earn God's acceptance, this conversation is for you.Together, we'll explore what the Bible teaches about salvation, how someone receives salvation through faith in Christ, and where true assurance comes from. You'll discover why salvation is a gift of God's grace, why your confidence should rest in God's promises rather than your emotions, and what Scripture says are the evidences of genuine faith.We'll discuss:What it means to be saved according to the BibleHow salvation is received through repentance and faith in JesusWhy Christianity is different from every other religionThree biblical signs of genuine salvationHow to handle doubts and questions about your faithThe freedom and confidence that come from assurance in ChristIf you've ever wondered whether you're truly saved or how you can know you have eternal life, this episode will point you back to the finished work of Jesus and the promises of God's Word.Key Takeaway: The strongest evidence of salvation isn't that you never struggle with doubt—it's that you keep running back to Jesus when you do.If you have a question you'd like answered in a future episode of Ask A Pastor, we'd love to hear from you. Until next time, keep seeking Jesus, keep growing in your faith, and keep trusting the One who saves.Support the show

Send us Fan MailIn Episode 9 of the Ask A Pastor Podcast, we tackle one of the most common and personal questions believers ask: “How do I hear God's voice… and how do I know it's actually Him?”In a world filled with noise, distractions, opinions, and constant stimulation, many Christians struggle to discern whether God is speaking or if it's just their own thoughts and emotions. But Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice.” So what does that actually look like in everyday life?In this episode, we explore how God primarily speaks through His Word, how His voice reflects His character, and why discernment grows through relationship, prayer, obedience, and spiritual maturity. We also discuss the difference between conviction and condemnation, practical ways to quiet the noise of life, and important questions to ask when seeking God's direction.Whether you've felt spiritually frustrated, uncertain about God's leading, or simply want to grow closer to Him, this conversation will encourage you to lean into a deeper relationship with the God who still speaks today.God's voice becomes clearest to those who consistently stay close enough to hear Him.Support the show

Send us Fan MailIn Episode 8 of the Ask A Pastor Podcast, we tackle one of the most talked-about—and most misunderstood—topics in today's culture: sex.What does the Bible actually say about sex, purity, lust, pornography, marriage, singleness, and sexual brokenness? Is Christianity just about rules and restriction, or is there something deeper behind God's design?In a world that treats sex as casual, Scripture reveals that sex is sacred, powerful, and deeply connected to covenant, intimacy, and worship. From Genesis to the words of Jesus, this episode explores how God created sex not to shame us, but to protect us, connect us, and point us toward something greater.We discuss:• Why sex was God's idea from the beginning• Why the Bible places sex inside marriage• How lust and pornography shape the heart• The spiritual and emotional impact of sexual sin• God's grace for people carrying shame, regret, addiction, or brokenness• Practical encouragement for both married couples and single ChristiansNo matter your past, your struggle, or your questions, this conversation is centered on both truth and grace. Because Jesus doesn't just expose brokenness—He restores people.God's design for sex isn't about restriction—it's about redemption, protection, and covenant love.Support the show

Send us Fan MailA lot of people today say, “I don't need to go to church… I am the church.” And while there's truth in that statement, Scripture shows us that following Jesus was never meant to happen in isolation.In Episode 7 of the Ask A Pastor Podcast, Pastor Todd Barham unpacks what the Bible really teaches about being the church, biblical community, and why gathering with other believers still matters. From Romans 12 and Hebrews 10 to the example of the early church in Acts 2, this conversation challenges the modern mindset of disconnected Christianity and reminds us that the Body of Christ only functions properly when it's connected together.Whether you've experienced church hurt, struggled with organized religion, or questioned the importance of attending church, this episode offers biblical truth, encouragement, and practical wisdom for living out your faith in authentic community.You may be able to pray alone, worship alone, and read your Bible alone—but you cannot fully live out the New Testament alone.If you truly are the church… then live connected like the church.Support the show

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode of Ask A Pastor, Pastor Todd Barham tackles one of the most honest and personal questions many believers wrestle with: “Can God really forgive that… and why do I keep falling into the same sin?”We've all been there—asking for forgiveness, only to find ourselves back in the same struggle. And over time, that cycle can lead to shame, doubt, and the quiet question: Did God really forgive me? This episode confronts that tension head-on with truth, clarity, and hope.Pastor Todd unpacks the powerful reality that God's forgiveness isn't based on our performance—it flows from His grace. There is no sin greater than what Jesus has already paid for. Forgiveness isn't partial or temporary—it's complete, restoring us fully into relationship with God. The real challenge isn't getting God to forgive—it's learning to believe that He already has.But what about the ongoing struggle?This episode dives into the truth that while forgiveness is instant, transformation is a process. Struggling doesn't mean you've failed—it means you're in a fight. God is not absent in your struggle; He's actively forming you through it. What you're experiencing isn't disqualification—it's part of sanctification.Pastor Todd also gives practical, biblical steps to help break the cycle of repeated sin—without shame. From owning your struggle honestly, to identifying patterns, building boundaries, leaning on the Holy Spirit, and inviting accountability—this conversation is both deeply spiritual and incredibly practical.This episode is a reminder that:Your struggle doesn't cancel God's graceConviction is a sign He's working, not leavingAnd freedom isn't found in never falling—but in never staying downIf you've ever felt stuck, discouraged, or unsure where you stand with God, this conversation will meet you right where you are—and point you back to the truth that real freedom is possible.Take a step today: confess honestly, take action, tell someone, and keep coming back to Jesus.Support the show

Send us Fan MailHow do you actually know God's will for your life—and what do you do when you feel completely stuck?In Episode 4 of Ask A Pastor, we tackle one of the most honest and relatable questions people wrestle with: not wanting God's will, but knowing it. From big life decisions like career and relationships to the everyday question of “what's next?”, this conversation gets real about the tension of feeling unsure, stuck, or even like God is silent.The truth? God's will isn't a hidden blueprint you're trying to figure out—it's a relationship He's inviting you to walk in.In this episode, we break down what God's will is (and isn't), and give you a clear, practical framework for how God actually guides your life through Scripture, prayer, wise counsel, and His peace. You'll also learn why God reveals His will step by step—not all at once—and how obedience often comes before clarity.If you've been feeling stuck, this episode will help you reframe that season. Being stuck isn't failure—it may be God forming something deeper in you. We'll walk through how to pause, check your heart, return to listening, and take small, faith-filled steps forward—even when you don't have all the answers.Plus, we'll give you a simple daily rhythm you can start today to help you stay connected to God and confident in your next step.You're not stuck because God is absent. He may be closer than you think.Lean in, listen close, and take your next step.Support the show

Send us Fan MailIf God is good… why does life hurt so much?In this episode of Ask A Pastor, we take on one of the most honest—and hardest—questions people ask: Why does God allow suffering? Because this isn't just a theological debate… It's deeply personal. It's about loss, betrayal, sickness, injustice, and the prayers that seem to go unanswered.We don't offer shallow answers. Instead, we wrestle with this question the way the Bible does—openly, honestly, and with hope.You'll hear:Why even Scripture makes space for our hardest questionsHow to think about suffering in a world where God is both good and powerfulWhat the Bible actually teaches about pain, free will, and a broken worldHow God meets us in our suffering—not from a distanceWhy the cross stands as the ultimate proof that God is both loving and involvedIf you've ever wondered whether you can still trust God while you're hurting, this conversation is for you.Because while we may not understand everything we're walking through… we can trust the One who walks with us.Key takeaway:If God can turn the cross into redemption, He can redeem your pain, too.Support the show

Send us Fan MailIn Episode 2 of Ask A Pastor, we tackle one of the most honest and deeply personal questions people wrestle with: How can I really know God is real… and why does He feel so distant?If you've ever believed in God but still felt like He was nowhere to be found, you're not alone—and you're not crazy for asking. This episode explores the tension between faith and feeling, reminding us that doubt isn't the end of faith—it's often the doorway to a deeper, more genuine relationship with God.We walk through compelling reasons to trust that God is real—from the evidence seen in creation and the moral law within us, to the historical reality of Jesus Christ. But we don't stop there. We also address the harder question: If God is real, why does He sometimes feel so far away?Through biblical truth and practical insight, we unpack how emotional distance doesn't equal actual distance, why feelings can't always be trusted, how spiritual maturity changes our experience of God, and how sin can dull our awareness of His presence.Most importantly, we give you clear, practical steps to respond when God feels distant—anchoring your life in truth, speaking God's Word over your circumstances, choosing faith over fear, and walking in daily obedience.This episode isn't just about proving God exists—it's an invitation to truly know Him.You may not always feel God… but you can always trust that He is there.Support the show

Send us Fan MailIn this first episode of Ask A Pastor, we tackle one of the most foundational questions of the Christian faith: Did the resurrection of Jesus really happen? We walk through the most common theories that attempt to explain it away—hallucinations, visions, impostors, and even the idea of a stolen body—and examine why each one falls short under scrutiny.Then we turn to the evidence: compelling eyewitness testimony from hundreds of people, the undeniable reality of the empty tomb, and the disciples' dramatic transformation from fearful followers to bold proclaimers willing to die for their faith. We also explore the explosive growth of the early church, the shift to Sunday worship, the consistency of the New Testament accounts, and how the resurrection fulfills a larger prophetic story.This episode brings clarity to the question by weighing both skepticism and truth, leading to one powerful conclusion: when you follow the evidence, it points to a real, risen Savior—and a moment in history that changed everything.Support the show
