In this heartfelt episode, Scott and Debra open up about the heavy realities of addiction, grief, self-doubt, and the unseen struggles so many silently carry. They reflect on how easy it is to feel isolated, broken, or "too far gone," and they testify that Jesus Christ meets us right where we are — not after we've cleaned ourselves up. Through personal stories, raw emotion, and powerful scriptures like Matthew 11 and Isaiah 61, they remind us that the Savior's embrace isn't delayed until we're perfect. It's extended because we are already His.Together, Scott and Debra invite listeners to come to Christ in three simple ways: pray (even if it's a messy, desperate prayer), feast on even a single verse of scripture, and try again — minute by minute if needed. They share how Christ's atonement offers real healing for every kind of pain and every kind of weakness. Wherever you are today — broken, hopeful, questioning, overwhelmed — you're welcome here. There's always hope through Him.
Send us a textIn this powerful episode, I sit down with Katie Loveless to explore the spark that started Soul of Great Worth and the profound impact it has had. We dive into the realities of depression, the small but meaningful steps toward healing, and how scripture study shifts through life's highs and lows. Katie shares her personal journey with mental health, unexpected lessons, and what she would say to someone struggling to connect with God in a hard season. This is a conversation full of hope, healing, and truth—you won't want to miss it!------------------Katie's WebsiteKatie's Instagram @soulofgreatworthJennie's Etsy Shop“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
According to Ex. 13:21, as the people of Israel made their way out of Egypt, we're told that Yahweh went before the people of Israel in a pillar of cloud and fire. What's odd, however, is that the next chapter tells us it was the “angel of God” who went before the host of Israel in the pillar (Ex 4:19). So, how do we explain the difference between these two passages? Did an angel lead the people out of Egypt, or was it Yahweh himself? On this episode, Shane discusses these questions and more with Matt Foreman and Doug Van Dorn, authors of The Angel of the Lord: A Biblical, Historical, and Theological Study.For a gift of any amount to help support the work of The Humble Skeptic podcast, we'll send you a 12-page PDF resource titled “Finding Christ in All of Scripture.” Click here for a preview.SHOW NOTESRelated BooksThe Angel of the Lord, Doug Van Dorn & Matt ForemanJesus in the Old Testament, Iain DuguidJourneys with Jesus, Dennis JohnsonEchoes of Exodus: Tracing the Theme of Redemption, Roberts & WilsonJoseph: A Story of Love, Hate, Slavery, Power & Forgiveness, John LennoxThe Surprising Genius of Jesus, Peter J.

In this episode of Miked Up, Dr. Mike and Coby dive into 2 Corinthians 12, where Paul speaks of the “thorn in the flesh” and how weaknesses can draw us closer to God. They explore how, in church culture, we often focus on our strengths while neglecting to understand the value of struggles. Why does God allow certain challenges to persist? How can these moments keep us tethered to Christ, even in the hardest times?Dr. Mike and Coby also discuss the importance of casting our cares on the Lord, the role of prayer, and the power of praise—even when the enemy tries to silence it. They highlight the significance of community and the need for trusted people to open up to during difficult seasons. Additionally, they talk about practical spiritual disciplines—such as quiet time, eliminating distractions, and intentional prayer practices—that help Christians navigate through struggles and remain grounded in their faith.
“Listening to Jesus is feeding the poor, caring for the vulnerable, welcoming the stranger, turning the other cheek, [and] loving God, our neighbors, our enemies and ourselves.” - Pastor Melinda Garza Moran Pastor Melinda reminds us that God changes us through powerful encounters so that we may better hear Christ's call in a world full of competing voices.
The Impossible Prize In this episode, we explore The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction, a forthcoming book that examines addiction not just as a habit or illness, but as a form of misplaced worship. We discuss how addiction draws us toward false gods, demanding our devotion and shaping our lives in ways we barely recognize. More than a personal struggle, addiction weaves itself into families, communities, and churches—warping trust, distorting love, and hollowing out the soul. How can we reclaim what has been lost? How do we confront addiction not just physically and mentally, but as a deeply spiritual battle? Join us as we dig into these questions and consider a way forward, one rooted in truth, grace, and the renewal of the whole person.

The world doesn't need self-sufficient Christians, it needs Christ-dependentChristians.
Who Made Who? Today, we read an essay by the sainted Rev. Dr. John Kleinig about what makes a theologian. Dr. Kleinig explains Martin Luther's threefold description of how the master of theology, the Holy Spirit, makes one a theologian through contemplative prayer, meditating on Scripture within the communion of saints, and being translated into the kingdom of heaven by God's Word—all this and much more on this week's episode of the podcast.

Welcome to Today's Episode where I sit down with Georgia to hear her profound story of Finding Jesus after years of seeking peace and truth in all the wrong places. Raised with a foundation in Jesus, like many of us do, she strayed from her faith during a period in her life, she realized she needed to heal. Her healing journey took her into a path of falling into the trappings of New Age spirituality, the allure of Priestess training, Kundalini, psychedelics, and more. Over time, she lost her identity even more so. It doesn't end there. It led her to being homeless to finding her healing and freedom through Christ and never turned back.

On this episode, Shane weaves together a variety of interviews he's recorded over the years related to Genesis 28 and the story of Jacob's ladder. In particular, the conversations focus on the way the narrative has been completely inverted to become another Tower of Babel tale of our ascent to God, rather than a prophecy of Christ's descent to us in mercy and grace.For a gift of any amount to help support the work of The Humble Skeptic podcast, we'll send you a 12-page PDF resource by Shane Rosenthal titled, “Finding Christ in All of Scripture.” For a preview of this helpful resource, click here.

This sermon on coming to Christ outside the city (Hebrews 13:12-14) traces the inevitable collapse of every civilization, and the attempt of Republican politicians such as JD Vance, Josh Hawley, and Donald Trump, and cultural warriors like Jordan Peterson and Peter Thiel, to weaponize Christianity to aid in civilizational war is equated with the offer of the Devil to Christ.

St. Bartholomew's first meeting with Jesus is recorded in the Gospel of St. John. Introduced by Philip, Bartholomew is struck by Jesus's already knowing him before they ever met. Jesus is struck in turn by Bartholomew's sincerity, "an Israelite in whom there is no guile." Our own Christian life is a matter of meeting Jesus, finding that he already knows and loves us, and being radically sincere with him so that he can completely forgive and save us. https://comeawaybyyourselves.com

Melissa Wei-Sing Inouye, our longtime associate at the Maxwell Institute, died on April 23rd, 2024. We join with many in mourning her loss and celebrating the remarkable legacy she left in the form of books, articles, and lots and lots of podcasts and videos. Melissa was a gifted speaker, warm, funny, faithful, and so smart.We wanted to re-release some of the Maxwell Institute interviews and lectures she delivered over the years. In this 2023 interview on her book, Sacred Struggle, Finding Christ on the Path of Most Resistance, Melissa and I talked about the ways that our collective struggles to build Zion can help us grow toward our divine potential. I especially loved her insight that over the course of history, many people have had visions and seen angels. What's remarkable about our faith tradition is not only its supernatural origins, but the fact that our church has held together over generations. We've somehow figured out how to get along well enough to survive and grow. And that is remarkable. Melissa attributes this strength to our doctrine of Zion, and she invites us to update our idea of service to include listening carefully to our brothers and sisters who may be different from us. I hope you enjoy this interview with our beloved friend, the one of a kind, Melissa Inouye.

Adriel is the pastor of North Park Presbyterian Church in San Diego and the host of Sola Media's radio program, Core Christianity.

Listen in as Bob and Adriel also walk through the petitions of our Lord's Prayer and how practicing the prayer transforms our lives.

Today we're joined by pro-life advocate and worship leader Steventhen Holland to hear his story of finding his birth mother, a mentally challenged woman who was raped as a girl and chose life for him despite all the odds. Steventhen shares his testimony of finding Christ and becoming a worship leader and how the tragedy of miscarriage led to the realization that God wanted him to find his birth mother. We discuss their initial meeting and how he responded to learning what had happened to her and how she still chose life for him. We also respond to those who argue for abortion exceptions and how this is a slap in the face to people like Steventhen and his mother, who courageously said no to the pressures to abort him.
