Andrew calls the community to a God-centered life rooted in continual restoration of the inner altar, arguing that true spiritual renewal begins not with self-improvement but with turning the heart fully toward the Lord. The message traces the biblical theme of altars as meeting places between God's presence and human worship, showing how divided allegiance and modern “high places” subtly displace devotion, and how restoration comes through repentance and grace rather than striving. Drawing on revival history, the prodigal son, and Paul's teaching in 2 Corinthians, it emphasizes that transformation flows from being with God, not merely asking God for outcomes, as unseen formation shapes love, freedom, and Christlikeness over time. Practices like sustained prayer are presented as counter-formation that reorient life away from self-centeredness toward communion with the Father, where God removes the veil, heals shame, and progressively reshapes people into his image. The overall vision is a life absorbed in God's love, marked by faithful presence, renewed devotion, and enduring spiritual fruit that emerges from abiding rather than control.

From Matthew 6:9–11, we learn the Lord's Prayer begins by reorienting our hearts—God's name, God's kingdom, God's will. Before we ask for daily bread, Jesus teaches us to anchor our lives in worship, surrender, and dependence.
Sunday AM sermon.
In this episode of God Centered Recovery, Roger McDiarmid and Dion Miller take a hard look at Proverbs 8:11–14 and what it reveals about pride, desire, and decision-making in recovery. This passage reminds us that wisdom is more valuable than anything we want — and addiction thrives on choosing desire over wisdom. Together, Roger and Dion explore how prudence, humility, counsel, and sound judgment play a critical role in staying grounded and making healthier choices. In this conversation, we talk about: Why intelligence doesn't equal wisdom in recovery How pride and arrogance quietly set the stage for relapse The danger of urgency and emotional decision-making Why wisdom often shows up as a pause, not a feeling How seeking counsel protects sobriety and growth This episode is practical, honest, and grounded in real-life experience. It's not about being perfect — it's about learning to slow down, check our motives, and choose wisdom over impulse. Join us live as we continue breaking down Proverbs and applying them to everyday recovery.

Today on the No Regrets Podcast, Thaddeus Williams is joined by host Nate Gruber. Thaddeus is a professor of theology at Biola University, an author, and a trusted voice helping believers navigate culture with biblical wisdom. He shares part of his story—growing up in a religious home, wrestling through honest questions, and discovering faith for himself. Those early questions pushed him deeper into Scripture, deeper into study, and ultimately into academic scholarship. Nate and Thaddeus dig into what surrender looks like—not just as a one-time decision but as a continual posture of the heart. They talk about relational wisdom and what it means to engage others the way Jesus did—with truth, grace, patience, and clarity. Thaddeus gives a preview of what he'll be speaking on at the No Regrets Conference, addressing how culture elevates self-gratification, self-fulfillment, and autonomy. He challenges men to resist self-first living and instead live radically countercultural lives aligned with God's heart rather than personal preference. He closes the conversation with encouragement and practical steps we can all take to lead well, surrender daily, and become men whose lives reflect Jesus in a world obsessed with self.

“When Wisdom Calls and Trouble Whispers” Today is our very first episode of God Centered Recovery, hosted by Roger McDiarmid and Dion Miller. We're kicking things off with Proverbs 1 — a chapter that captures a truth every person in recovery can relate to: wisdom calls out loudly, but trouble whispers quietly… and that whisper often sounds way too familiar. In this episode, Roger brings insight into the themes of Proverbs 1 while Dion connects those ideas to real-life recovery. Together, we talk about: Why wisdom is often the last voice we listen to How destructive invitations show up in early and long-term recovery The people and patterns that pull us backward The consequences of ignoring what we already know And how to start responding to wisdom before life forces the issue This episode is honest, practical, and relatable. Two different perspectives — one focused on wisdom, one focused on lived experience — coming together for a conversation that encourages growth, awareness, and better choices. Thanks for joining us for our very first episode. Let's get started.

On this episode of This vs. That, we explore one of the most important yet often misunderstood aspects of Christian marriage: sex. We sit down with Scott Mehl, pastor of Cornerstone Church of West LA and author of Redeeming Sex and Marriage, to discuss the difference between self-centered sex and God-centered sex.We tackle questions like: What is God's design for sex and marriage? Why does physical intimacy get complicated even in the best of marriages? And what is the larger story that sex is telling?Scott shares from his own journey—the confusion he and his wife Lauren experienced early in their marriage, and how that led him to search for what God actually says about this sensitive topic.We discuss the five purposes of sex, including how it serves as an expression of the relationship between Christ and the church.We also address the practical side: how selfishness shows up in the bedroom, why viewing sex as a "need" can be problematic, and how the gospel speaks directly to our sexual brokenness.Throughout our conversation, we emphasize that God-centered sex is ultimately spouse-focused sex—a reflection of selfless love that points us to something greater.----For more information about Anchored Virtual, visit anchoredvirtual.com
Most marriages operate on reciprocity: we love our spouse when they love us, serve them when they serve us, and withdraw affection when they disappoint us. But what if the foundation of marital love shifted entirely? Pastor Daniel argues that Christian marriage must be God-centered rather than self-centered or even spouse-centered. Using 2 Corinthians 7:1 and Jesus's radical teaching in Luke 6:32-35, he contends that our primary motivation for loving and serving our spouse should be reverence for God, not the quality of their character or their treatment of us. When we recognize our spouse as God's beloved child, our heavenly Father becomes invested in how we treat them. You are challenged to examine whether your marriage is motivated by self-interest, reciprocal affection, or genuine fear and love of God—and to realign your daily interactions accordingly.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Many Christians and churches talk about “community,” but unless that community is formed and continually built up by God's Word, it can become just another gathering where human opinions and human wisdom take center stage. In this message from 2 Timothy 3:10–4:8, David Platt encourages the church to look to Scripture for its wisdom and strength. As God's Spirit applies God's Word to God's people, the church begins to look increasingly like a God-centered community.Explore more content from Radical.
