Podcasts about biblical teaching

Learn how grace can reset your expectations this New Year—not just through resolutions but by God's empowering love that equips you for good works.

In this week's episode of In Totality, I'm back with my girl Dinorah Peña for Part 2 of our conversation.We talk through the moments after the “yes”, when obedience is heavy, sanctification feels slow, and trusting God isn't as simple as it sounds. We share about the struggle of delighting in the Lord, turning away from pride, and depending on the Holy Spirit during times of anxiousness.This conversation is full of raw truth for anyone in a season of obedience without clarity. If you've ever asked, “Why is this walk still so hard?” Or felt alone in your becoming, we pray this reminds you:You're not behind. You're being refined. God is still with you, even now.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What does it truly mean to make disciples? In this powerful four-part conclusion to the Commands of Christ series, we explore the Great Commission as the crescendo of all that Jesus commanded. Rooted in Matthew 28:18–20, this series calls us to move from inward transformation to outward multiplication. As we have spent four years treasuring, meditating on, and living out Christ's commands, we now step into the command to teach others to observe all things He has taught us.Have we allowed the commands of Christ to shape our lives so deeply that we are compelled to pass them on to others? What legacy of discipleship are we leaving behind for the next generation?As we conclude this four-year journey through the commands of Christ, we are invited into the very heartbeat of discipleship: to go, to teach, and to pass on what we've received. The Great Commission is not the end—it's a beginning. Jesus calls us to treasure His commands, not only in our study and meditation, but in our obedience and our sharing (Matthew 28:18–20). We've discovered that these 51 commands are not mere rules but revelations of Christ's character, windows into His heart, and pathways into deeper relationship with Him. From abiding in Him to receiving His power, from denying self to awaiting His return, each command has formed a beautiful mosaic of what it means to follow Jesus. Now, with full hearts, we pass the baton—encouraging every listener to continue in the Word, to keep treasuring His commands, and to go make disciples. Let us walk forward with boldness, knowing that Christ goes with us, and let us live in such a way that others see Him clearly through our lives. This is not just a podcast series—it is the ongoing call of Christ. May we hear it and follow Him faithfully.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

As we have spent four years treasuring, meditating on, and living out Christ's commands, we now step into the command to teach others to observe all things He has taught us.Have we embraced Christ's call not only to follow Him, but to help others do the same? Are we treasuring His commands in such a way that our lives overflow with the desire and ability to make disciples?As we reflect on the journey through the commands of Christ, we now arrive at the climactic call to make disciples—a commission that encapsulates all we've learned and lived out. Rooted in Matthew 28:18–20, this command is not just about going, but about going with the authority of Christ, filled with His Spirit, and teaching others to observe—to treasure and guard—everything He has commanded. Discipleship is the natural fruit of our own walk with Jesus; we cannot lead others where we ourselves have not gone. As disciplined followers who abide in His Word, we are called to multiply that life in others, knowing we do not go alone—He is with us always. In a world often content with conversion, Christ calls us to spiritual maturity—to shape lives that are rooted, trained, and transformed. His commands, covering every area of life, are His heart expressed, and to teach them is to lead others into deeper fellowship with Him. Let us walk worthy of this calling, empowered by His presence, faithful in His Word, and committed to the mission: making disciples of all nations.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

In this week's episode of In Totality, I'm joined once again by my girl Dinorah Peña, and we had a really great conversation about all the things!What started as a casual conversation turned to a Spirit-led dialogue on what it looks like to meditate on God's word and truly lean on the Holy Spirit, the weight of saying “yes” to God, and obedience.We talk through what it looks like to follow God even when you feel unqualified or overwhelmed. From wrestling with pride to the quiet conviction of the Holy Spirit, this conversation is not curated, it's confessed and vulnerable, and it's all about learning to trust God when the path feels uncertain and your heart feels unsure.If you've ever asked, “Am I doing enough?” or felt like your weaknesses disqualify your calling, this is for you. God's not waiting on your perfection. He's asking for your surrender.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As we have spent four years treasuring, meditating on, and living out Christ's commands, we now step into the command to teach others to observe all things He has taught us.Are we actively living out the Great Commission in our own lives? What does it truly look like to treasure Christ's commands and help others do the same?As we reflect on these four years of immersing ourselves in the commands of Christ, we now arrive at the crescendo: making disciples. This command, rooted in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20), is not merely a call to evangelize, but a lifelong invitation to teach others to observe—to guard, treasure, and live out—all that Christ has commanded. Discipleship is not about producing spiritual converts alone, but nurturing disciplined followers of Jesus, shaped by His Word and empowered by His presence. We are reminded that the authority to go comes not from ourselves, but from the risen Christ who sends and stays with us. True discipleship begins in the quiet places of worship, overflows from a heart that treasures His Word, and is sustained by the power of His Spirit. As we go, we do not go alone—we go with the King, bearing His heart to the nations. May we live in obedience to His call, becoming disciples who make disciples, for His glory and by His grace.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Join Stephen Streett as he delivers a heartfelt sermon on the importance of making Jesus your first love.

The Fear of God stands as a foundational virtue in Christian ethics, appearing throughout Scripture as the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. Dave Rich examines this essential attribute in lesson 10 of his Christian ethics series, demonstrating how The Fear of God shapes believers' lives through faith, obedience, and trust.This biblical virtue appears in over 300 verses commanding believers to fear God while rejecting the fear of man or circumstances. The Fear of God leads to life, produces humility, and turns believers away from evil. Rich explores the profound connection between this virtue and anxiety, showing that worry reveals misplaced fear and denigrates God's providence.Therefore, believers must cultivate The Fear of God as the soul of wisdom, casting all anxiety on him who cares for them. This teaching illuminates how proper fear of God eliminates improper fear of everything else, grounding Christian living in eternal perspective rather than temporal concerns.Download Notes | Download Presentation ★ Support this podcast ★

In this Bible prophecy update, join Christine Darg on the Jerusalem Channel as she explores Iran's unprecedented water crisis. Even some secular newspapers are saying this is divine judgment for the mullah's hatred of Israel. Bible prophecy students call the crisis the "Genesis 3:12 effect," a verse in which God says he will curse those who curse or lightly esteem Israel. The severe drought impacts both political dynamics and the spiritual landscape, as well as the rapid growth of Christianity in Iran amidst persecution.

Rooted in Matthew 28:18–20, this series calls us to move from inward transformation to outward multiplication. As we have spent four years treasuring, meditating on, and living out Christ's commands, we now step into the command to teach others to observe all things He has taught us.What does it truly mean to make disciples, and how are we living out the commands of Christ in a way that impacts others? Are we treasuring His Word so deeply that it overflows into discipling others?As we come to the final command in this rich four-year journey through the words of Christ, we are brought to the heart of it all—making disciples. The Great Commission is not just a call to proclaim salvation, but an invitation to walk with others as they grow in their relationship with Jesus. We are reminded that discipleship is more than teaching facts; it is guiding others to observe—to treasure, guard, and live out—the commands of Christ (Matthew 28:18–20). We do this not in our own strength but under His authority and in the power of His presence, promised to be with us always. True discipleship begins in the quiet place of worship, flows from hearts that are first surrendered, and continues as we share with others what we ourselves have received. Like disciplined athletes pressing toward a heavenly prize (1 Cor. 9:25), we are called to pursue Christ, to be shaped by His Word, and to multiply that life in others. Making disciples isn't a burden but a joy, an overflow of love for Jesus and for His people. Let us go with confidence—not in ourselves, but in the One who calls and empowers, who is always with us, even to the end of the age. Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Today we're trashing feminism some more, because it obviously deserves it. Feminism is not only unbiblical, it's extremely destructive for all of society. We'll talk about why Christian podcasters like Allie Beth Stuckey shouldn't defend their feminism while claiming to follow Christ, and why Christianity itself is a patriarchy, by God's design. It's time for biblical men to stop waiting for permission from feminists and take back the authority God gave them. We'll also discuss more of the Trump administration's mistakes, including this ridiculous new 50-year mortgage idea that proves how far from wisdom our leaders have fallen.

In this week's episode, I'm joined by author and teacher Yana Jenay Connor, to get into her new book, Living Beyond Offense!Tune in to hear us unpack what it means to live beyond offense, to forgive without pretending it didn't hurt, and to trust God enough to handle what justice looks like when we experience wrongdoings.Yana shares her heart behind her book, and we have an honest conversation about how grace works when you'd rather guard your heart, what healing may look like after betrayal, and how the Holy Spirit meets us in the tension between mercy and memory.If you've struggled with forgiveness, to move forward when reconciliation feels impossible, I pray this episode will bless you.Listen now, you don't want to miss this!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you've been walking with In Totality for a while, then you know I'm passionate about talking through the raw parts of our faith journeys, the in-between spaces where trust feels tested and growth feels slow.In this week's episode, we're diving into the process of sanctification—that slow, beautiful, and sometimes frustrating journey of being shaped into Christ's image.We talk about what it looks like to hold on when you'd rather hurry, to trust God when you don't understand His pace, and to find peace in the “not yet” moments of your story.This conversation unpacks what it means to be renewed day by day, even when you're tired, even when it feels like nothing's changing, and how God uses the waiting, the wrestling, and the weariness to make us whole.Lean in, and let's talk about the slow work of sanctification together.Listen now, you don't want to miss this one!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In part two of this conversation with Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell, we go even deeper into what it means to keep your faith steady when following God feels hard.We unpack what it looks like to stay rooted in truth when emotions run high, to surrender control when the outcome is unclear, and to believe that God's still writing beauty from what feels broken.Pastor Philip shares powerful biblical insight on endurance, spiritual maturity, and the refining fire that shapes every believer who chooses faith over comfort.If you've ever felt stretched, tested, or uncertain of what God is doing in your waiting, this conversation will meet you right where you are, reminding you that faith isn't failing when it's being refined.

I'm joined by Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell for a powerful conversation about what it means to suffer well in seasons of warfare.In this episode, we unpack how God uses pain to refine our hearts, reveal hidden places of brokenness, and draw us closer to His presence when life feels heavy.We talk about how to discern what battles are worth fighting, how to stay silent when the Spirit says “be still,” and how to see purpose in the storms we never asked for.Pastor Philip shares deep biblical wisdom on navigating rejection, spiritual attack, and the tension of being both blessed and broken, often at the same time.If you're feeling weary from the fight, misunderstood in your calling, or ever wondered where God is in the middle of your suffering, this conversation will remind you that even here, He is working something holy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, I'm sitting down with Justin Giboney to have an honest conversation about what it means to choose grace in a world that thrives on outrage. Together, we unpack how believers can respond to offense with Christ-like wisdom, especially when tension, politics, and faith collide in public spaces.We talk about what it looks like to pause before reacting, how to discern truth in a noisy culture, and why guarding your witness matters more than winning an argument. Justin shares biblical insight on engaging the culture without losing compassion, and how the posture of our hearts reveals what we truly believe about Jesus.If you've wondered how to respond when the world feels divided, or what faithfulness looks like in a polarized time such as now, this conversation will meet you right where you are.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
