Text: Hebrews 11:32-40 Preacher: Derek Baker
Rev. Graham explores the relationship between faith and doubt, emphasizing that questioning is a natural aspect of spirituality. Using the example of Doubting Thomas, it suggests that doubt can enhance faith rather than destroy it. Ultimately, the message is one of seeking God actively through Scripture, community, and remembering past faithfulness.

Jeremy Camp joins us for a heartfelt conversation about what God's been teaching him lately—and how those lessons are showing up in both his music and his everyday life. From a youth camp encounter that shifted everything to walking through physical heart surgeries that sparked deeper spiritual reflection, Jeremy shares how surrender has been a theme throughout his journey. He opens up about trusting God with his heart—literally and figuratively—and the powerful realization that came from that experience.In this episode, Jeremy also unpacks the stories behind songs from his Deeper Waters album, including “Again” and “Better.” He talks about writing from a place of honesty and how real-life moments—including arguments, healing, and surrender—have shaped his music. We also talk about worship, purpose, and what he hopes people take away from this tour. Whether you've followed Jeremy's story for years or you're hearing from him for the first time, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to dive deeper in your walk with God.
In today's episode, I had the joy of speaking with one of my favorite online friends, Elle Cardel, author of She Delights, a book and Bible study releasing today. Elle is the founder of Daughters of Delight, an online ministry dedicated to helping women grow in their relationship with God and dive deeper into the Word. Through her ministry, Elle offers devotionals that balance personal storytelling with sound biblical theology, helping women navigate their faith with purpose and joy.In She Delights, Elle shares the beauty of delighting in the Lord through various disciplines, inviting readers to explore how they can live out their faith in practical and transformative ways. Elle also discusses her personal journey, from her love of theology and ministry to the profound challenges she faced, including the life-altering experience of nearly losing her daughter. Her book is an invitation to walk in obedience to God, even when motivation feels lacking, and to find delight in the discipline of connecting deeply with Him through prayer, Bible study, and community.Key Takeaways: 1. Delighting in the Word: Elle teaches that delighting in God's Word is not just about motivation but about discipline. She encourages readers to move beyond feelings and focus on obedience, creating a habit of engaging with the Word even when it's hard. 2. The Discipline of Delight: Throughout the book, Elle introduces five key disciplines—doctrine, imitating Christ, prayer, spreading the Gospel, and being part of the church body—to help women go deeper in their faith and live a life that continually grows in the knowledge of God. 3. Healing Through Obedience: Elle's own story of nearly losing and the healing of her daughter, Selah, showcases how God can restore joy through obedience and trust, even when life is full of grief and uncertainty. She emphasizes that we all need accountability, and seeking it can lead to transformation.Elle and I both pray that as you listen to this episode today, you can learn to find the ability to delight in the Lord no matter what is going on by staying close to God and in His Word. Bio:Elle Cardel is first and foremost a sinner saved by grace. She lives in middle Tennessee with her college sweetheart, Michael, and their two lovely children, Selah and Aidan. Elle loves being a mama, nerding out over strategy board games with Michael, catching up over coffee with friends (all the lavender lattes, please!), making meals from scratch, and writing on the truths of the glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.Elle holds a bachelor's degree in biblical theology and is the founder of the global online women's ministry Daughter of Delight, a growing community of 170,000-plus women of faith. Elle is a firm believer that, in order to truly know God, we must know His Word. She is deeply passionate about equipping everyday women of faith with the tools to be faithful stewards of Bible literacy. She lives on a mission to help others learn and love Scripture via the Daughter of Delight podcast, daily devotionals woven around the Word, and free biblical resources, all of which you can find at her website, daughterofdelight.com.Anchor Verse:Psalm 40Previous Episode-98https://open.spotify.com/show/4UZScXao2zUHZ1m8cH8GiAConnect with Elle:Website: https://www.daughterofdelight.comDOD IG: https://www.instagram.com/daughterofdelightElle's IG: https://www.instagram.com/elle_cardelFB: https://www.facebook.com/shedelights/Podcast: https://www.daughterofdelight.com/podcast-episodesShe Delights: https://www.tyndale.com/p/she-delights/9781496482396***We love hearing from you!

Many Christians are trying to defend their faith with surface-level answers as one dimensional Christians, but that's not enough in today's world. In this video, we examine a recent Q&A at Harvard as a case study in why we need a deeper, more thoughtful Christian faith.

I'm recommending trusted YouTube channels that can help you build a stronger, more rooted Christian worldview.✅ Whether you're a student, new believer, or just exploring deeper faith, these channels will help you understand Christianity more deeply and engage tough questions with confidence.
Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” John 20:27 In the Gospel of John, we encounter the story of Thomas, often referred to as "Doubting Thomas." After Jesus' resurrection, Thomas declared he would not believe until he could see and touch Christ's wounds. This narrative reveals a profound truth: doubt and faith can coexist, each playing a vital role in our spiritual journey. When we face our uncertainties head-on, we often find that these moments of doubt can lead us to a more profound and resilient belief.As we navigate our faith, it's essential to understand that doubt is not our enemy. As the quote suggests, “Doubt is not the enemy of faith, but its silent partner; it challenges us to dig deeper and find the roots of our belief.” When we question and seek answers, we engage in a dialogue with God that can ultimately strengthen our faith. In moments of uncertainty, remember the words of James 1:5: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” This invitation encourages us to approach God with our questions rather than shying away from them.John 1:14 says, "The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."The interplay between doubt and faith creates an opportunity for growth. “Doubt whispers questions that faith answers with quiet assurance; together, they weave a tapestry of discovery and trust.” Each question we ponder can lead us to a richer understanding of God's nature and His promises. When we confront our doubts, we may find that they illuminate our faith, revealing layers of truth that we had not previously recognized. This journey through uncertainty can deepen our relationship with God and enhance our spiritual resilience.Moreover, scripture reassures us that even the most faithful believers experienced moments of doubt. Consider Peter walking on water; he initially stepped out in faith but began to sink when fear gripped him (Matthew 14:30). Jesus did not chastise him for his doubt but reached out to save him, illustrating that our struggles with faith are met with divine compassion. Psalm 34:4 says, "I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears."Prayer for the Day! Heavenly Father, thank You for being a constant presence in our lives, especially during times of doubt. Help us to challenge our uncertainties and strengthen our faith through Your Word. Guide us on this journey of discovery so that we may grow closer to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

In this episode, we delve into the meaning of the gospel, which translates to "good news," as presented in the book of Romans. The discussion explores the seeming contradiction in the first two chapters of Romans, where the emphasis on humanity's failings and the weight of sin paints a picture of bad news. However, this groundwork serves to highlight the profoundness of the gospel's message. Paul's approach is likened to a jeweler displaying a diamond against a dark background—by first showing the darkness, the brilliance of grace and salvation shines even brighter.

Summary Pastor Lamb explores the profound work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer, emphasizing the importance of love, obedience, and the supernatural nature of Christianity. He delves into the relationship between the Trinity and the believer, highlighting how the Spirit empowers us to live out our faith and love God authentically.

Today we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus' words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue a people of his own from among the nations—even us. In our passage today, Jesus heals a Roman centurion's servant. But, surprisingly, this story is less concerned with the miracle than with the faith of man who asks for it. Here we discover that great faith humbly trusts Jesus in the face of death and distance.
During a Saturday morning Bible study, a father was perplexed because his beloved, wayward daughter had returned to the city, but he was uncomfortable with her in his home because of her behavior. Another attendee was not well in her body. The physical and medicinal effects of long-term disease and aging had taken their toll. Numerous visits to numerous doctors had yielded minimal progress. She was discouraged. By divine design, Mark chapter 5 was the Bible passage they studied that day. And when the study was over, hope and joy were palpable. In Mark 5:23, Jairus, a father with a sick child, exclaimed, “My little daughter is dying.” On His way to visit the girl, Jesus healed an unnamed woman of her long-term health issue, saying, “Daughter, your faith has healed you” (v. 34). Jairus and the woman, compelled by faith in Jesus, sought Him out and they weren’t disappointed. But in both cases, prior to meeting Jesus, things had progressed from “bad to worse” before getting better. Life’s dilemmas don’t discriminate. Regardless of gender or age, race or class, we all face situations that perplex us and send us searching for answers. Rather than allowing challenges to keep us from Jesus, let’s strive to have them stir us to deeper faith in the One who feels it when we touch Him (v. 30) and who can make us well.

In this breakout session from TGC23, Chatraw and Jack Carson discuss these themes based on their book, Surprised by Doubt.

The science of evolution has caused friction for many Christians. And science does pose some challenges to the way people have been taught to think about their faith, but those challenges don't have to lead to a decision to reject faith—or to reject the findings of science. In fact, understanding science can lead to a deeper faith. Jim Stump, host of Language of God has a new book coming out—The Sacred Chain: How Understanding Evolution Leads to a Deeper Faith. In this series Jim walks through three of the challenges posed by science. The challenge of pain and suffering is a crucial tension and one that has vexed people for millennia. Without solving the problem, we can at least break it down and see how a world which includes pain and suffering is also a world in which creatures might have the capacity to become morally mature.

Reflecting on the Canaanite Woman's Faith
My guest, Sara Cormany, is a speaker and author of the newly released devotional, Even When: Experiencing God During Difficult Days.The daily fight with a chronic illness became too much to bear, forcing Sara to leave her role as a high school drama and speech teacher. In 2011, Sara's life-impacting disease became life-threatening.Unaware of the seriousness of her symptoms, Sara continued living as normally as possible for six weeks before being given the news that she'd suffered a stroke. Post stroke, Sara says she has a ‘wonky brain' and a ‘wonky body,' but be assured that her wonkiness doesn't stop her from continuing to pursue her dream of teaching. Now, she teaches through the messages in her book and when she shares messages with audiences.Notable quotes from this episode with Sara Cormany: · “When you've gone through life thinking, oh, I just have a weird body, but nobody is that woofed about it, so I guess I won't be either. To words like strokes and death, and it just changed the game. And it requires deeper faith and deeper trust that God, you've got this.”· “He grows beautiful things in and through my story.”· “I continue to thank Him even in the hard … that's part of the journey and that's part of the utter dependence on God.”Connect with Sara Cormany: On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sara.cormanyOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saracormany/Her website: https://saracormany.com/

Discover the profound ways in which God's presence can transform your daily life, as Brandon Trostle joins us to share his insights on the sacred communion between the divine and His followers. With his rich background in Christian studies and youth ministry, Brandon brings to light the confidence and sincerity needed to approach God, as well as the immense power found in the collective worship experience. Our discussion revolves around Hebrews 10:19-25, guiding us through the spiritual practices that fortify our individual faith and how they are amplified in communion with other believers. Embark on a journey to redefine your understanding of the Holy Spirit's role as we examine the notion of our bodies being temples where God's presence resides. As we contrast the experiences of contemporary believers with those of ancient times, we uncover the importance of expectancy and engagement with the Holy Spirit in our daily practices. Join us for a heartfelt exploration into nurturing a responsive and dynamic faith, where each day is a chance to deepen your relationship with God.
The Christmas story is more just a cute narrative to make us feel better for a season; it answers the deepest questions of life. Pastor Jeremy Treat preaches an Advent sermon from Mark 2:1-12.
JOIN THE MILLION DOLLAR MASTERMIND, MDM TODAY! Hey friend! Are you tired of feeling burned out, chaotic, never making for yourself, or running on empty? After digging for answers and praying for guidance, Nikole Paoli found my mastermind last September! She saw an opportunity to gain more faith and guidance, without feeling all alone. She also saw a commitment to Godly business that mirrored her own. As we worked together over 12 weeks, in a small group setting, she found herself breaking free from fear that was once holding her back, along with making new friends and developing an unshakeable confidence! She is sharing her transformation on the show today and I pray her words bless you to want to take a step forward and join us in January. Your next miracle is coming soon and we want to be there holding your hand while watching it happen. Nikole has been able to set real boundaries in her life, take more intentional action, and ignite a deeper faith that lights her up.
