What if teaching theology to children wasn't as intimidating as it sounds? What if, instead, it was one of the most natural and essential parts of shaping a child's faith? In this episode, Mary Wiley joins us to unpack the idea that theology is simply learning about God—and that kids are not only capable of learning it, but eager to! With warmth and wisdom, Mary shares how parents and ministry leaders can make big truths about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the church both accessible and engaging for young hearts. In this episode, Mary Wiley dives into the heart of why teaching theology to children matters deeply.

With a focus on making theology engaging and understandable, she shows how we can help children build a strong foundation of faith that lasts. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about helping the next generation grow in their understanding of and love for God.

This message explains how we know God is all-powerful and all-good despite the pain and suffering that we see in the world and in our own lives.

For centuries, people have been searching for the good life. And more than that, they're trying to live their highest good. But what does that look like? And is it even possible when life isn't always good? Well today's guest, Mary Wiley, explains that God alone is our highest good, and anything we consider to be good in this world is simply an outflow of Him. So, living your highest good can only come from spending time in the presence of God. Mary shares how an intimate, ongoing relationship with God can shape how you see and experience your highest good, even when things aren't so good. Plus, she'll give you three very practical ways to live your highest good every single day.

Do you know God? If so, do you want to know Him more? This episode of TPL will walk you through this important conversation on how sinners can know God.

Again, I want to thank all my dear friends who responded toour pleas for prayer for my grandson Luke and his extensive brain surgery thispast Friday! The surgery and the recovery went well, and “Praise the LORD”, hewas able to go home yesterday afternoon! Your prayers, and the Lord's miraculoushealing hand, made this possible! Thank you! Thank you! It is amazing to me how this passage in Luke 12:22-34,along with Dr. Towns devotion today for April 01, from 365 Ways to Know God,entitled: JESUS: THE LORD OF PEACE, is exactly what we needed for this periodof time, and crisis in our lives. God's timing and reminders are always exactlyon time!!!! You can always trust Him! So far in Luke 12, we have learned that we should “bewareof hypocrisy”, we should “beware of covetousness”, and we should “beware ofworry”. It is interesting to me how all of these sins are linked to each other.And for sure, hypocrisy, pretending to be something that we are not, and covetousness,lusting and desiring things that we really don't need, always lead to this incapacitatingemotion that we call worry! They “strangle” and destroy us, they deceive usinto believing a false view of life and of God. We are attempting to live a lifethat will never ever satisfy or fulfill us. Not only does worry destroy and deceive us, but it can alsodeform us. It keeps us from growing and it makes us like the unsaved in theworld (Luke 12:30). In short, worry is unchristian; worry is a sin. How can wewitness to a lost world and encourage them to put faith in Jesus Christ if weourselves are doubting God and worrying? Is it not inconsistent to preach faithand yet not practice it? The late chaplain of the United States Senate, PeterMarshall, once prayed "that ulcers would not become the badge of ourfaith." Too often they are! How do we win over worry? The first step is to realize thatGod knows our needs, so we can trust Him to meet them. We are sheep in Hislittle flock, children in His family, and servants in His kingdom; and He willsee to it that our needs are fully met. It is His pleasure to give us Hiskingdom, so will He not give us everything that we need? Romans 8:31-32 remindsus of a great promise: “What then shall we say to these things? If God isfor us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but deliveredHim up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” But God's pleasures and our treasures must go together. Wemust look at earth from heaven's point of view and make sure that we put God'skingdom first in everything. The main question is, "Where is yourheart?" If our hearts are fixed on the transient things of earth, then wewill always worry. But if we are fixed on the eternal, then God's peace willguard our minds and hearts (Philippians 4:6-9). We must "hang loose"when it comes to this world's goods and be willing even to sell what we have inorder to help others (Acts 2:44-45; 4:34-35). It is not wrong to own things solong as things do not own us. Worry always leads to fear, and that is why Jesus, in verse32 added, “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father'sgood pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Worry is proof that our “faithis little” and that we need to believe God's Old Testament promise in Proverbs3:5-6: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your ownunderstanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct yourpaths.” We are our Father's “little flock” that He dearlyloves and takes pleasure in! You can trust Him to care for you today! God bless!

What happens when spiritual compromise becomes the norm and how can we confront it with truth and grace? Pastors Josh Howerton and Carlos Erazo welcome Pamela Baltazar for a powerful conversation rooted in Revelation 2 and the challenge to the church in Thyatira. They unpack the biblical warnings against the Jezebel spirit and explore how its subtle influences show up today in culture, the church, and even personal relationships.    From feminism and gender roles to the redefining of marriage and truth, no topic is off limits as they contrast biblical conviction with cultural confusion. This episode is both bold and deeply pastoral—calling us toward holiness, repentance, and God's beautiful design for men and women.

Lent 4, Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 The Rev. Anita M Slovak 

The word "baptize" means to dip or drench. So the Christian life is all about being drenched in the Father, plunged into the Son, and soaked in the Spirit.

God wants you to know Him as much more than just an acquaintance or an ally. He wants you to have an intimate connection, friendship, and dependence on Him.

What if your compromise isn't as subtle as you think?   Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Lewis have a powerful conversation inspired by the letter to the church in Pergamum, and things get real. From uncovering the historical and spiritual weight of Satan's throne to the bizarre links between ancient temples, Roman emperors, and even Nazi Germany, this conversation exposes the enemy's recycled tactics across history. They dive into how antichrists rise, how false teaching creeps in, and how spiritual authority is either claimed—or forfeited. It's all about courage over compromise, spiritual clarity, and reclaiming the dominion God intended. Plus, they explore topics like IVF, spiritual warfare, and the nicknames only the Father can give.   This one will stretch your mind, stir your faith, and help you see the unseen battles all around.  

In this exploration of Luke 2:41-52, we delve into the profound truth of our identity as children of God. The story of young Jesus in the temple serves as a catalyst for understanding our own spiritual longings and default inclinations toward God. We're reminded that our souls yearn for the things of God, just as Jesus was drawn to His Father's house.Are we following our soul's deepest longing? Are we defaulting to the things of God in our daily lives? By understanding our true identity and pursuing God's presence, we can experience transformation and fulfill our purpose as bearers of His love to the world.Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

Have you ever wondered why suffering seems to shape us more than success? This week, we dive deep into the power of perseverance, faith, and finding purpose in the trials we face.   As we explore the letter to the church in Smyrna, we're reminded that hardship isn't the end of the story—it's often the beginning of something deeper. Together with Pastors Mike Breaux, Marc McCartney, and Carlos Erazo, we unpack how God uses suffering and persecution to refine our faith and draw us closer to Him.    We also discuss how moral failures and their consequences can be a part of the journey, calling us to repentance and growth. Whether you're in the middle of a storm or walking alongside someone who is, this conversation will encourage you to hold on to the hope we have in Christ.  

In our third week of the Unshakeable series, we dive into the story of Jericho—one of the most well-defended cities in the Promised Land. On the surface, Jericho seemed unshakable, while the Israelites appeared shaky at best. But God had a plan that defied human logic, proving that true strength doesn't come from walls, wealth, or worldly security, but from faith in Him. This message explores how the first battle is always for our worship—what we give our first and best to reveals what we truly trust in. Through obedience and faith, the Israelites watched God bring down Jericho's walls, showing us that when we trust in Him, He provides the victory. Join us as we unpack what this means for our lives today. Are we building on temporary security, or are we trusting in the unshakable foundation of God?

Some people assume God can be manipulated or that He is far beyond our reach. But actually, all of our experiences are designed by God to nudge us closer to Him. In this message, Pastor Lutzer describes the life of faith for Moses and for Joni Eareckson Tada. If all we do in life is to know and worship God, we will have delighted His heart.

What happens when a church starts strong but loses sight of what truly matters? The early church in Ephesus had an incredible legacy—planted by the Apostle Paul, led by Timothy, and even home to the Apostle John and Mary. But despite their theological strength, Jesus had a serious warning for them: they had lost their first love.    In this conversation, Pastor Josh and Jana Howerton, along with Pastor Carlos Erazo, dive into the powerful message behind the letter to the Ephesians in Revelation 2. They explore how distraction, culture, and even good theology can become barriers to genuine love for Christ. Plus, hear about Pastor Josh's eye-opening journey through the ancient ruins of Ephesus, the surprising history behind the Jesus fish symbol, and what it all means for believers today. If you've ever felt like your faith has lost its fire, this conversation is for you!  

Many of us have a small conception of God. But, as Moses discovered at the burning bush, the Lord is infinitely greater than our comprehension will allow. In this message from Exodus 4, Pastor Lutzer examines four characteristics that mark those who truly know God. But does God's sovereignty extend even to those who resist knowing Him?
