When life feels uncertain, our minds often race toward worst-case scenarios. But Scripture repeatedly directs our attention away from shifting circumstances and back to the unchanging character of God. In this episode, Jennifer Slattery sits down with theologian Dr. Malcolm Yarnell to explore how God's attributes—His presence, sovereignty, goodness, and faithfulness—provide a secure foundation when fear, suffering, or uncertainty threaten to overwhelm us and practical ways to shift anxious thoughts toward biblical truth. Scriptures Referenced Psalm 139:7–12; Genesis 28:10–22, Genesis 32:22–32, Genesis 50:19–21; Isaiah 46:9–10; John 10:10; Romans 8:18–39, Romans 12:2; John 3:16 Dr. Malcolm B. Yarnell III serves as Research Professor of Theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and is editor of the Southwestern Journal of Theology. A respected theologian and author, he has written extensively on systematic theology, Baptist doctrine, and the Christian life. His Theology for Every Person series is designed to help believers move beyond intellectual knowledge to a deeper understanding of God that transforms everyday living. Through his teaching and writing, Dr. Yarnell encourages Christians to know God's character more fully and to anchor their faith in the truth of Scripture.

In the Bible Profile series, I have now left Genesis and moved into Exodus. The most significant figure of Exodus, is of course, Moses. It would take years to cover all of the events of Moses’ life, so I chose to focus on the times we find Moses on certain mountains. 07.22.26.Moses.on.the.Mountain.Tim.McCool

In the concluding installment of this two-part message from Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, we move from the source of true peace to its practical application in the life of the believer. Having seen that God is the God of Peace and that Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace, we now consider the blessings … Continue reading "The God of Peace (Part 2)"

God calls His people to be set apart, not because they have earned it, but because He has already loved them. Leviticus 20 lays out this call with clarity, commanding God's people to follow His statutes and avoid the ways of the surrounding nations. The reason is not about performance or self-righteousness. It is about responding to a God who has already acted on our behalf. We do not obey in order to be loved. Because we are loved, we obey. Understanding Leviticus also requires recognizing the difference between ceremonial laws and moral laws. Ceremonial impurity involved things like disease or childbirth, which were not sins but required a period of separation. Moral impurity, on the other hand, involved actual sins such as sexual immorality, idolatry, and injustice. The ceremonial laws were fulfilled in Christ, as seen in Acts 10 when God showed Peter a vision declaring clean what had once been called unclean. The moral standards, however, remain and apply directly to the lives of believers today.Holiness looks different depending on your season of life, but the call is the same for everyone. Young men face battles with apathy and lust. Young families can drift into making children the center of everything at the expense of their marriages. Middle-aged believers can quietly step back from serving God without even noticing the years passing. Everyone faces the pull of materialism, pride, and covetousness. The word holy simply means different, and that difference should be visible in how a believer lives compared to the world around them. Importantly, holiness is not about achieving perfection. Salvation is received, not earned. Jesus lived the perfect life we could not live, died for our sin, and through the Holy Spirit gives us everything we need for life and godliness. The practical starting point is simple: ask God to show you one specific area where you have been blending in when He is calling you to stand out, and take one step toward change, not out of guilt, but out of gratitude for what Christ has already done.

What happens when journalists cover politics without understanding the religion shaping the story?Brian Kaylor, president and editor-in-chief of Word&Way and the leader of A Public Witness, joins Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram to explain why religion reporting matters in an era of Christian nationalism, government-sponsored worship, and growing confusion about the role Christianity plays in American public life. Kaylor describes how political reporters can miss biblical references, theological claims, and denominational differences that are central to understanding events such as January 6, presidential elections, and the political influence of conservative Christianity.The conversation then turns to Kaylor's reporting on Christian worship services organized inside the Pentagon and other federal agencies. He explains the involvement of Pete Hegseth, Doug Wilson, Franklin Graham, Southern Baptist leaders, defense contractors, violent biblical rhetoric, and a prayer borrowed from Pulp Fiction. The episode also examines the constitutional difference between a private religious group using a government building and the government planning and hosting its own worship service.The final episode of Church & State 250 returns to the principle at the center of the series: America's most significant religious experiment was the decision to separate church and state. Kaylor argues that this separation protects religious minorities, government employees, and Christianity itself from the corrupting influence of political power.Guest BioBrian Kaylor, PhD, is president and editor-in-chief of Word&Way, an independent Christian media organization founded in 1896, and the leader of A Public Witness, a publication covering religion, politics, and culture. A Baptist minister with a doctorate in political communication from the University of Missouri, Kaylor is an award-winning journalist, author, speaker, and scholar whose work focuses on Christian nationalism, political rhetoric, religious liberty, church-state separation, and the ways Christianity is used to support government power. He is the author or co-author of seven books, including Sacramental Politics, Baptizing America, and The Bible According to Christian Nationalists. His Government Worship Watch project documents worship services organized by the Pentagon and other federal agencies, making his reporting central to understanding the current relationship between Christianity and the federal government.Books MentionedThe Bible According to Christian Nationalists: Exploiting Scripture for Political Power by Brian KaylorBookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9780827203501Baptizing America: How Mainline Protestants Helped Build Christian Nationalism by Brian Kaylor and Beau UnderwoodBookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9780827203389Relevant Links & ResourcesBrian Kaylor Official WebsiteURL: https://briankaylor.com/A Public WitnessURL: https://publicwitness.wordandway.org/Word&WayURL: https://wordandway.org/

Preached on Sunday the 2nd of August, 2026 followed by the Lord's Supper.Hebrews 7:1-257 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 2 and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace. 3 He is without father or mother or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest forever.4 See how great this man was to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils! 5 And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, though these also are descended from Abraham. 6 But this man who does not have his descent from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. 7 It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior. 8 In the one case tithes are received by mortal men, but in the other case, by one of whom it is testified that he lives. 9 One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, 10 for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.11 Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. 13 For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.15 This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, 16 who has become a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent, but by the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is witnessed of him,“You are a priest forever,    after the order of Melchizedek.”18 For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness 19 (for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.20 And it was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath, 21 but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him:“The Lord has sworn    and will not change his mind,‘You are a priest forever.'”22 This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant.23 The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, 24 but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. 25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.Intro Music by Julius H. from Pixabay Outro Music by PianoAmor from Pixabay

The sermon introduces a summer series on church housekeeping, focusing this week on the structural foundations of Baptist identity. Using Matthew 16 as a primary text, the speaker argues that the true church is built upon specific doctrinal convictions rather than cultural trends or denominational names. Key principles outlined include biblical authority, local church autonomy, the priesthood of all believers, believer's baptism, individual soul liberty, saved and baptised membership, two church offices, and separation of church and state. The message emphasises that these distinctions preserve the purity of the gospel and connect the modern congregation to the historic faith of the early church. Ultimately, the preacher calls for clarity and conviction in defining who the church is and what it believes.

Read OnlineCharity Unto DeathNow Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, for John had said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” Although he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, for they regarded him as a prophet. Matthew 14:3–5Saint John the Baptist was unwaveringly bold in his preaching, humble in his disposition toward God, and faithful to the truth he proclaimed. These holy virtues, however, did not spare him from the clutches of Herod—a man morally weak, politically fearful, and unrepentant. In the end, Herod not only imprisoned John but, through the manipulation of his unlawful wife and her daughter, had him killed.Who, then, was victorious? From a worldly perspective, it seemed Herod was. John was not only persecuted but martyred. Yet the true victory belonged to John. His triumph was not in escaping suffering but in remaining faithful—faithful to the truth, to charity toward Herod, and to the salvation of Herod's soul. This sacrificial charity moved John to speak boldly, even at the cost of his life.At John's death, Jesus grieved deeply. The loss was real and sorrowful, but not despairing. John's followers also mourned out of love. He had changed many lives and prepared the way for Jesus' ministry. Of him, Jesus said, “No one born of woman is greater than he” (Matthew 11:11).Today, separated by 2,000 years, it can be difficult to feel the sorrow of John's loved ones. Yet the sting of that loss was profound because John loved profoundly. Those who are arrogant and self-centered often fade quickly from memory. But when a life radiates holiness, inspires through simplicity, and transforms hearts through truth, that loss is deeply and rightly mourned.The greatest human sorrow ever known was the mutual suffering of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, whose love was perfect. Their hearts were pierced not only by personal grief, but by the weight of humanity's sin.John's death was not tragic; it was meaningful. He died for the truth, for charity, for the Messiah. He died as a man deeply loved, whose life touched many. He died not in bitterness or confusion, but in courage, compassion, and purpose. His ministry was powerful, but the witness of his grace-filled martyrdom was even more so.Each of us is called to imitate Saint John the Baptist in our own way—with boldness, humility, and fidelity. We are called to love with a charity that becomes sacrificial, even costly. John's life is a model of that sanctity. Can we see ourselves in him?When you examine your life, do you live boldly and confidently in the truth? Or do you give in to fear, which often leads to confusion and apathy? Is your charity strong enough to endure suffering, even unjust persecution, for the glory of God and the salvation of souls—including your own? Reflect today on the strength of your charity. We are all called to a love so deep that it requires supernatural courage and understanding. Consider your life through the powerful lens of Saint John the Baptist's witness. Sacrifice is painful. It was for John, for his followers, and even for Jesus. Are you willing to endure such suffering in fidelity to God's will? Seek the Baptist's intercession today and follow his example, that your charity may touch many lives and leave a lasting impression. Most loving Lord Jesus, Your human heart grieved the suffering and death of John the Baptist, whose mission was to prepare the way for Your public ministry. Yet Your sorrow did not flow from despair, but from love and gratitude for John's life and his selfless witness, born of true charity. Grant me, I pray, that same courage and love that flowed from John's heart, so that my life, like his, may leave a lasting impression on others, give You glory, and sanctify my own soul. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Martyrdom of St John the Baptist, by Lawrence OP, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0.Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

We all have opinions and they can certainly be valuable to us. Our lives can be shaped in positive ways if we listen to the opinions of the older, wiser people in our lives. However, opinions can be dangerous and a tremendous source of strife and conflict if used recklessly. With the internet and social media, it is easier …

God desperately wants us to obey so He can bless us. He is working to lead us away from traps and rebellion because He cares for us more than we currently see. We must get rid of overt and covert rebellion in our lives. Drive out the generational curses and the demonic spirits in your life so it becomes easy to obey God. His ways are truly higher than our ways, and His Blessings are on the other side of obedience.

Competency Cancels Fear: From Pulpit to Bureau — An FBI Agent's Guide to Fearless LivingWhat happens when you take a small-town Baptist pastor who's never held a gun and hand him a badge for the FBI? You get 24 years of stories that sound made up — teenage prostitutes, gang members, terrorists, SWAT raids — and a man who never lost sight of the fact that he was still, first and foremost, a shepherd.In this episode, Michael sits down with Eric Robinson — former pastor, 24-year FBI veteran, and SWAT operator — for a conversation that goes far beyond cop stories. Eric unpacks the concept that changed how he thinks about fear entirely: competency cancels fear. Not the absence of danger — the presence of preparation.They talk about:* Why Eric's headaches disappeared the day he left ministry for the FBI — and what his body was trying to tell him* The danger of carrying everyone else's burdens without anyone to carry yours* What "the flinch test" taught Eric about welcoming people the church often turns away* Why judgment on your face costs you influence later* The SWAT practice of "after action reviews" — and how it's a model every man could use in marriage, parenting, and recovery* Owning your mistakes before anyone calls you out on them, and why that's a mark of strength, not weakness* Redefining masculinity through the person of Jesus — kindness, availability, and truth spoken in love, not condemnationWhether you've never met an FBI agent or you've never sat with your own failures long enough to learn from them, this episode will challenge you to stop running from fear and start preparing for it.Eric's book, releasing this October, tells the full story — find out more at http://preachertobreacher.com.#IntentionalGuyPodcast#CompetencyCancelsFear#FromPulpitToBreacher#FBIAgent#SWATTeam#ChristianMasculinity#FaithAndCourage#MenOfFaith#BiblicalManhood#AfterActionReview#OwnYourMistakes#FearlessLiving#PastorToAgent#IronSharpensIron#ChristianMenPodcast

In this episode, we explore the powerful meaning behind America's motto, "In God We Trust," and President Dwight D. Eisenhower's conviction that the United States should stand distinctly apart from atheistic communist nations. But trusting God is far more than a national slogan or a passing thought. The Bible calls believers to be a holy people, separated unto God and noticeably different from a world marred by sin.Join us as we examine the biblical truth that salvation comes by God's grace through faith, and how genuine saving faith brings the gift of new divine life. We will discuss how God's Word produces faith, the importance of the King James Bible's command to be filled with the Spirit of God, and what it means to live a life marked by holy conduct, godly speech, and faithful service. Discover how a Spirit-filled walk reflects a vibrant faith in Christ and demonstrates a life set apart for God's glory.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

In this thought-provoking episode, we thank the Lord for the gifts of discernment and spiritual maturity as we examine the times we are living in. As society increasingly embraces adulting while neglecting true adulthood, we explore the difference between temporary independence and genuine character, responsibility, and godly wisdom.Why are so many struggling with life skills, accountability, and spiritual growth? Has worldliness quietly infiltrated the Church and weakened our walk with Christ? Scripture reminds us that "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." As believers, our faith, trust, and worldview are meant to be radically different from the culture around us.Join us as we discuss the biblical meaning of holiness, being set apart from the world, and the urgent need for spiritually mature men and women who can teach, mentor, and lead the next generation. In a time when discernment is desperately needed and spiritual maturity appears to be at an all-time low, this conversation will challenge you to evaluate your walk with Christ and embrace a deeper life of faith, obedience, and godly influence.Key Topics:Discernment in challenging timesAdulting vs. true adulthoodCharacter, responsibility, and life skillsFaith through God's WordBiblical holiness and being set apartOvercoming worldlinessGrowing in spiritual maturity and leadershipTune in and be encouraged to stand firm in God's truth while cultivating the spiritual maturity needed for today's world.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

“What divided us from the Orthodox Church?” This question opens a discussion on the historical and theological rifts between Catholicism and Orthodoxy. The episode also addresses which non-Roman rite churches maintain apostolic succession, the validity of Orthodox sacraments despite schism, and how to respond to Eastern Orthodox interpretations of early Church Fathers regarding papal authority. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:26 – What originally divided us and the Orthodox Church? 11:00 – Which Churches outside of the Roman rite have apostolic succession and how are they traced? How are orthodox sacraments valid even though they are in schism? 18:23 – How do we respond to EO who use early church fathers on Matthew 16 and Isaiah 22 and claim it’s not about the papacy? 22:54 – What’s the difference between Orthodox Church and orthodox teaching? 28:51 – My brother married a Greek Orthodox woman. Does one have to be baptized in order to remarry there? I'm worried that he might have committed apostasy. 31:47 – Eph. 4 says to walk in unity. This episode is causing disunity by dissing the orthodox. 41:29 – The gates of hell will not prevail. If the Church were to proclaim error, what should the faithful do, go underground, go orthodox or what options would there be? 47:50 – I’m a southern Baptist. John 15 seems to support that the Holy Spirit proceeds only from the Father. Can you clarify? 51:35 – I recommend William and all his listeners to read the Alexandria document and the Chieti Document.

This week, as part of our sermon series on the Foundations of the Church, Pastor Alex preached a message centered on Acts 6:1-7, in which he explained the important role that Deacons play both in supporting the Elders and in helping to serve the local church.

This Sunday, Pastor John Durham continued our All Sufficient summer sermon series with a message from Jude 24-25, reminding us that the same grace that saves us is the grace that keeps us. John encouraged us to rest in God's sustaining power, knowing that He is faithful to carry His people, keep them from stumbling permanently, and one day present them blameless before the Father. Because salvation begins and ends with God's grace, He alone receives all the glory.

The Bible speaks of peace hundreds of times, but what does true peace really mean? Is it merely the absence of conflict, or is there something far deeper?

The family that reported Joseph Duggar to police has lost almost everything, and understanding why starts with how this family actually operates. Joseph, thirty-one, is facing two felony counts in Florida connected to what happened to a child during a 2020 family vacation. He's pleaded not guilty, but the arrest affidavit says he admitted what happened twice, once to the child's father and once to detectives on a monitored call. His parents posted his bond. The people who went to police instead of keeping it quiet were his own in-laws, the Caldwells, a Baptist pastor's family who broke a two-decade pattern of handling everything inside the house. What that decision has cost them is coming in this episode.  While that plays out in Florida, Josh Duggar is generating his own headlines from inside federal prison. He's been transferred through four facilities in three states, and the Bureau of Prisons hasn't explained why. His attorney calls the moves retaliation for complaints about opened legal mail. Whatever the reason, his release date keeps sliding in one direction only: originally August 2032, revised three times since, now sitting at February 2, 2033. Jurors at his trial already heard how far he was willing to go to dodge accountability, including a hidden operating system built specifically to defeat the monitoring software his wife was using on him.  Now there's a 2025 motion, filed from behind bars, and his own sisters are named in it. What Josh Duggar is claiming about them, and what he wants a court to do about it, is the thread tying this whole episode together. Two Duggar sons, two courtrooms, and the same family instinct showing up in both: protect the name first, and worry about who gets hurt along the way second. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
