The discussion in this episode centers on the profound insights shared by Bible teacher Dr. Chip Ingram, who articulates the transformative principle encapsulated in his book, "I Choose Joy." This principle posits that one's circumstances, when combined with an appropriate perspective, ultimately dictate one's experiences in life. Dr. Ingram emphasizes the significance of maintaining an eternal outlook, particularly during periods of adversity, as he shares how one's understanding and interpretation of life's challenges can lead to spiritual growth and resilience. Throughout our conversation, we explore the importance of community, mentorship, and the necessity of engaging deeply with Scripture to foster hope and clarity amidst trials. It is our earnest desire that listeners will glean valuable wisdom and encouragement to navigate their own journeys with renewed perspective and purpose.Takeaways: In this episode, we explored the fundamental concept that our circumstances, when coupled with our perspective, ultimately shape our experience of life. Dr. Chip Ingram emphasized the significance of maintaining a proper perspective during challenging circumstances to foster spiritual growth and resilience. The discussion highlighted the necessity of community and mentorship in spiritual development, particularly through life-on-life interactions and shared experiences. Listeners were encouraged to ground their hope in Christ and the eternal promises of God rather than in transient circumstances or personal expectations. Ingram articulated the transformative power of consistent engagement with Scripture as a means of renewing the mind and sustaining spiritual vitality. It was noted that feelings, while important, should not dictate one's decisions; rather, they should be aligned with God's truth and purpose.
On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week, pastor and teacher Chip Ingram joined Janet for an exploration of the life of Nehemiah and what we can learn about stepping out of our comfort zones to follow God’s leading into greater things. How do we recover after a tragic loss? Laura Busse shared the powerful lessons she learned after the suicide of her son. Accomplished neurosurgeon Dr. Myron Rolle shares the story of his journey, and the powerful life lessons God taught him along the way. Artificial Intelligence continues to be the darling of the corporate world. But software and tech expert Doug Smith was back to peel off the shiny veneer of what we are being told to reveal the real concerns and consequences of allowing machines to think for us. Janet and Craig are back to bring biblical truth to bear on more of the news stories impacting your life and your faith.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Human ambition is often rooted in pride. But “holy ambition”? That’s something else! When your ambitions aren’t about your own glory but God’s, you’ll find Him to be a source of empowerment that you can’t get anywhere else. Pastor and radio teacher Chip Ingram will join us to dive into the story of Nehemiah, a humble servant of the king who became a leader of his people. Nehemiah could have kept his comfortable position in the palace, but instead he chose a radical path that allowed him to do amazing things for God. You can too! But you’re going to have to take some risks. And that means you’ve got to put aside fear or pride and start acting on your holy ambitions.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Pastor Chip Ingram will challenge the way you think about love! Because, contrary to popular belief, love is much more than a feeling or an emotion, and it isn't something that just happens to you; it's something you choose. Chip explains what love really is (and isn't), how to decipher between love and your feelings, and how you can love others even when you don't feel like it—or when they really don't deserve it. Plus, you'll find out if you suffer from grandiosity… as he did. Not sure what grandiosity is? Listen in. What Chip shares is eye-opening!

Most of us think of generosity as a sacrifice—something that costs us. But what if giving is actually one of the wisest, most joy-producing ways to live? When we open our hands, God not only blesses others through us—He transforms us in the process.That idea lies at the heart of Chip Ingram's book The Genius of Generosity, and it's why we were grateful to welcome him to the program. Chip is the founder, teaching pastor, and CEO of Living on the Edge, a discipleship ministry helping believers live like Christians every day.A Story That Changes EverythingChip's understanding of generosity was forever shaped by a man named John—a seventy-year-old accountant who invited Chip, then a young pastor, to lunch one day. After the meal, John handed him a small white box. Inside was a checkbook labeled Pastor's Discretionary Fund.John said, “Chip, here's what I'd like you to do. Carry this checkbook with you every day. Anytime you see a need that Jesus wants to meet—or that you think I'd want to help with—write a check.”Chip was stunned. He barely knew how to manage his own finances, let alone someone else's. But John invited him back three times each year to review every check. And so Chip began paying attention to needs around him—fueling a single mom's car, providing groceries for a struggling family, restoring electricity for another.Over time, something unexpected happened:Chip handled John's money more carefully than his own.He found himself eager to spot needs.And a deep friendship formed between two men who had nothing in common except a commitment to generosity.Years later, Chip realized the deeper lesson: What John did for him is what God does for all of us. We manage resources that are not ours. We steward what belongs to the King.That realization became the seed for The Genius of Generosity.Why Generosity Is More Than a VirtueChip told me that generosity didn't just change his financial habits—it changed his life. He began seeing giving as an adventure. He describes generosity as a “gateway to intimacy with God,” a doorway into deeper trust and joy. The more he gave, the more he saw God show up.And interestingly, secular research agrees. Chip noted that even if the Bible didn't exist, studies consistently show:Generous people are happier.They enjoy stronger relationships.They live longer and experience greater satisfaction.Why? Because generosity is a creative, life-giving act. It aligns us with how God designed the world.Generosity Connects Us—to God and to OthersJesus taught that wherever our treasure goes, our hearts follow. So every act of giving is spiritual formation. It's discipleship.And generosity builds unexpected bonds with others. Chip shared the story of a homeless man he saw regularly at a bagel shop. For months, the man never responded to Chip's greetings. One morning, Chip quietly bought him a coffee and a bagel. Minutes later, the man spoke—opening up about his life, his experiences, even pointing out the rare appearance of Venus in the sky.A simple act of kindness became the doorway to relationship and transformation.These moments, Chip says, are all around us if we have “our antenna up and our eyes off our phone.”Chip also told a story of a moment when God prompted him to give a six-figure gift—an amount he didn't feel he had. The Lord reminded him, “Do you think I can't replenish what you give?” Over the years, Chip has seen God refill what he gives away again and again, sometimes miraculously.That's the adventure of generosity: you can't out-give God.What If You Feel Like You Have Little to Give?Chip's encouragement is simple: “Start small. It's your view of God that needs to change, not your circumstances.”You don't wait until you're wealthy or “more spiritual” to begin giving. You practice generosity today—right where you are—and watch God grow your heart.The Genius of GenerosityIn the end, generosity is not about losing. It's about gaining—freedom from fear, deeper trust in God, richer relationships, and greater joy.When we give, we reflect the heart of the ultimate Giver. We discover that everything we have belongs to God—and that He delights to pour His blessings through open hands.To learn more about Chip Ingram and The Genius of Generosity, visit LivingOnTheEdge.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I already have a will, but a company that visited our church said I also need a trust—and they quoted me $3,000 to set everything up. Do I really need a trust? They said that without a trust, my kids could spend months or years in probate and might have to fight over things. That made me nervous—so now I'm wondering if I really do need one.I've heard you explain capital gains when someone buys a home, but how does it work if you build your home and only have a small HELOC? So if my house is worth about $400,000 and I sold it… How would that be calculated? I inherited the land through my divorce and built the home after Hurricane Laura.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Living on the EdgeThe Genius of Generosity: Generous Living Is Joyful Living by Chip IngramWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

Chip Ingram joined us on Sunday to remind us that just as we have dreams in our hearts for our children, so does Jesus for his Church. He longs to see high-impact churches across the globe. When his children become mature disciples, his dream becomes reality.
There has been a dramatic shift in the family dynamic over the last 50 to 60 years. Back then, men typically went to work to earn money, while women managed the house and cared for the kids. In this program, Chip Ingram raises a few vital questions: how does this traditional structure compare to the realities of how families function now? And what does the Bible have to say about the roles men and women play in their households? Join us for those profound answers!Introduction:“Relationships just don't work well when the man neglects to take the lead when he should, neglects to make decisions at home, and fails to be proactive in his involvement with his family.” -“Passive Men, Wild Women” by Pierre MornellFighting lies with truthLie #12 (for men):Husbands are to earn the money and wives are to take care of the kids and the house.The truth:As a husband, I am the SERVANT LEADER in our home. I am responsible to provide for and protect my family's physical, spiritual, and emotional needs, as I MODEL Jesus every day.Key verse:Ephesians 5:1-2Lie #13 (for women):My husband is almost like another child I have to take care of. If I didn't handle our finances, the house, our children, and major decisions, this place would fall apart tomorrow.The truth:When I take care of everything myself, I'm actually usurping my husband's GOD-GIVEN role. Until I STOP taking care of everything, my husband will never step up and lead.Key verse:Proverbs 3:5-6Breaking the cycleWomen: Refuse to do things that are your spouse's jobMen: Step up and own the responsibilityBroadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource MentionsMarriage Truth Cards Offer"Uninvited Guests" ResourcesConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003
When tackling an important project, it is natural to want to divide all the tasks fairly, so everyone shares the responsibilities and weight of the job. However, in this program, Chip Ingram cautions that while that strategy may be successful in the workplace, it often causes stress, burnout, and resentment at home. Hear what God's Word says about an all-in partnership with your spouse, that is deeply rewarding and life-giving.Fighting lies with truthLie #6:Marriage is a 50-50 proposition. As long as everyone does their part everything will be okay.The truth:Marriage is a 100%-100% proposition. It is an UNCONDITIONAL commitment to an imperfect person. It's giving the other person what they need the MOST, when they DESERVE it the least, at great PERSONAL COST.Key verse:John 13:34-35Lie #7:Marriage shouldn't be this difficult. No matter how hard I work it seems like we always have issues to work through. I really wonder if it's worth it.The truth:Everything of great value requires COMMITMENT, SACRIFICE, and PERSEVERANCE. As my spouse and I face challenges and overcome them, our intimacy and joy will far outweigh our present problems.Key verse:Galatians 6:9Lie #8:I've tried hard to make this marriage work, but it's too far gone. God wants me to be happy and I know He'll understand if I get a divorce.The truth:God HATES divorce. No marriage is beyond repair. If Jesus can raise the dead, He can certainly RESURRECT my marriage.Key verse:Malachi 2:16Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource MentionsMarriage Truth Cards Offer"Uninvited Guests" ResourcesConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003
Has a selfish act or a hurtful comment from your spouse caused you to think, “I thought they loved me?” or “Did I make a mistake marrying this person?” In this program, Chip Ingram confronts these common yet dangerous misbeliefs with powerful truth from Scripture. Better understand the relational fallout of this lie and the practical ways to eliminate these harmful thoughts from your mind when they arise.Introduction: Among evangelical couples, what does the research actually say are the biggest issues in their life?”Marriage strugglesParenting in a secular cultureFighting lies with truthLie #1:When I finally meet “the right person,” everything will work out fine.The truth:Marrying the right person is CRUCIAL, but even with the greatest mate, a successful marriage requires following GOD'S DESIGN, putting in the hard work, persevering through difficulties, and relying on the Holy Spirit.Key verse:Hebrews 10:36Lie #2:When I experience disappointment, annoyance, and anger toward my spouse, that means I'm “falling out of love” and I may have married the wrong person.The truth:CONFLICT and NEGATIVE emotions are not only normal, they are essential to learning to COMMUNICATE and forgive each other in the process of becoming one.Key verse:Ephesians 4:32Don't buy the LIES.
