Since Charles Darwin's 1859 publication of On the Origin of Species there has been much debate and discussion about the relationship of Darwin's naturalistic hypothesis as it relates to and/or contravenes the creation account found in the Book of Genesis. Darwin's ideas have gone far beyond mere empirical science as they touch on the very philosophical, theological, and moral aspects of the origin and development of human beings.On this episode of the Profile we speak with Discovery Institute fellow Dr. Paul Nelson about these implications of Neo-Darwinian evolution and the challenges facing the theory of natural selection today. Daniel Ray caught up with Paul at the 2025 Science and Faith Conference in Denton, Texas this past February.

In this episode, we dive into a powerful truth: nothing defines spiritual maturity like love. Based on our core text—1 Corinthians 13:13—we explore why love is greater than both faith and hope, and how a true revelation of God's love transforms everything.You'll learn:Why you can't be strong in faith if you're not strong in love (Romans 8:35)How God's love isn't based on performance (1 John 4:10)What it means to love God beyond outcomes (John 3:16)The call to love like Christ—even when it hurts (Luke 10:31, 1 John 4:8,17)How faith is measured not just by what you gain, but by what you're willing to give upGod's love is your foundation, your fuel, and your anchor. Tune in and let this episode draw you deeper into the kind of love that never fails.
In this episode, we unpack the mystery of how faith speaks personally. Using reference texts like John 12:28–29, Acts 26:14, and Acts 2:8, we explore how God communicates in unique, tailored ways to each believer—and how you can activate your personal language of faith.Key insights include:
To truly understand faith, we need to study the people whose faith Jesus personally commended—and surprisingly, none of them were Jews. In this episode, we dive into the stories of the Roman centurion, the Canaanite woman, and the ten lepers, uncovering what made their faith stand out. Apostle shares a powerful insight: overfamiliarity with faith teachings can dull our expectations from God. So, how do we break free from unbelief? By reflecting on past divine encounters and curating biblical stories of those who triumphed through faith. Let these lessons reignite your expectation and trust in God.
In this powerful episode titled “The Economy of Faith: The Supernatural Creativity,” we dive deep into how faith is not just a tool for survival but a divine economy that fuels creativity and restoration. Drawing from 2 Peter 2:4-5, Apostle lays the foundation for understanding how God has always empowered His people with supernatural creativity, especially in moments of chaos and corruption.You'll learn how:
In “The Economy of Faith IV: Utterance,” we explore one of the most powerful and underrated tools in a believer's faith arsenal—words. This episode unpacks how your utterances aren't just communication—they are spiritual instruments that shape your reality and advance God's purposes.Here's what you'll learn:
Faith isn't meant to intimidate—it's meant to inspire. In this episode, we explore how the teachings of Jesus and the examples of faith in Scripture are meant to ignite courage, not fear. Anchored in Romans 15:4, we unpack how properly delivered faith teachings stir us to believe, act, and become. Discover why faith emphasizes being over just doing, and how your identity in Christ empowers you to live a life of supernatural possibility. Plus, learn why testimonies of faith are more than stories—they're blueprints for your own breakthrough.

Satan has no legal right over God's people.However, it is our job to continually trample on him as a believer. Apostle Iren said before we can trample on Satan, we must first see him, Satan, as fallen.He further emphasized that just because we are born again, does not mean we are free from the devil and his strategies. We must actively exercise our authority against him and his cohorts (1 Peter 5:8, Luke 10:19).Two types of authority

Know Your Enemy (KYE)He emphasized that in spiritual warfare, understanding the enemy's limitations and tendencies is important (2 Corinthians 2:11).Apostle Iren reminded us that we already know who the devil is—a liar, a murderer, and a thief (John 8:44, Revelation 12:9, 1 Samuel 17:34-35).Using the story of David and Goliath, he illustrated a key principle: spiritual warfare is won by spiritual tactics.The reason King Saul allowed a boy (David) to face a giant (Goliath) was because of his resume and not by faith (1 Samuel 16:18; Judges 20:15-16).David vs. Goliath was a fair fight because David knew his enemy. Goliath was big but slow, and David used his sling strategically to win from a distance.What We Should Know About Satan and His Angels:

Listen as Pastor Anthony Uvenio exposes what materialism is and why it's a self deception. At the recent Contending for the Faith Conference, Anthony Uvenio, an elder at Hope Reformed Baptist Church, tackled the profound issue of materialism and its impact on our spiritual lives. His compelling discourse delved into why material possessions, while not inherently evil, can become detrimental idols when they take precedence over our relationship with God. Summary: 1. Definition of idolatry: Idolatry is the worship of false or excessive devotion to something that is not God. It can also be applied to secular contexts where individuals become overly attached to material possessions, wealth, or power. 2. The idol of materialism: Materialism refers to the emphasis on material possessions and wealth in achieving happiness or fulfillment. It can lead to dissatisfaction and imbalance in life. 3. The dangers of materialism: Materialism can deceive and lead people away from God. It promises satisfaction and fulfillment but ultimately fails to deliver. 4. The prevalence of materialism: Materialism is prevalent in society, especially in the United States. Many people prioritize material possessions and believe that having more will make them happier. 5. The consequences of materialism: Pursuing materialism can lead to ruin and destruction. It can also result in a loss of true value and significance. 6. The antidote to materialism: The antidote to materialism is a proper relationship with God, contentment, generosity, and a focus on eternal treasures rather than earthly possessions. # The Dangers of Materialism: Finding True Value in God In a world that often equates success with material wealth, it's easy to find ourselves trapped in the endless pursuit of the next best thing. But what if our relentless chase for material possessions is actually leading us away from true happiness and fulfillment? ## Understanding Idolatry in the Modern World Idolatry, as Anthony explained, is not just about ancient civilizations bowing to carved statues. It's about what we prioritize and devote ourselves to in our daily lives. In the context of the Ten Commandments, idolatry is explicitly forbidden, yet it subtly infiltrates our modern lives through our excessive devotion to material wealth and possessions. ## The Illusion of Material Fulfillment The crux of Anthony's message centered on the dangerous illusion that material goods can fulfill us in ways that only God can. He explained how materialism, at its core, is about seeking security, value, and identity in worldly possessions. But these are counterfeit gods—imposters that promise what they cannot deliver. ### A Culture of Excess In illustrating the prevalence of materialism, Anthony pointed to staggering statistics: from the billions spent on storage facilities to store our excess possessions, to the high levels of credit card debt that suggest a collective obsession with consumerism. ## The Biblical Perspective on Wealth Turning to the scriptures, Anthony highlighted that the Bible speaks about money and possessions far more than it does about faith and prayer combined, indicating the importance of our attitude towards wealth. He referenced Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6:24, which warns that "No one can serve two masters... You cannot serve both God and money." ## Finding True Value and Security in God The heart of Anthony's message was a call to turn away from the empty promises of materialism and find our security and value in God. ## Generosity: The Antidote to Materialism In concluding, Anthony advocated for generosity as a powerful antidote to materialism. He encouraged the audience to practice giving not out of abundance, but as a reflection of our gratitude towards God who generously gave His only Son for us. ## Conclusion We live in a world that bombards us with messages equating happiness with more possessions. It's found in our relationship with

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.
