Podcasts about redeeming

What does true repentance look like? How often do you need to repent of our sins? How is your love for Christ connected to your understanding of forgiveness? This week we continued our series through Luke's Gospel as Pastor Alex delivered a sermon centered on Luke 7:36-50, in which he outlined a “Blueprint for Forgiveness.” Join us for this week's message to find out how true, humble, and heartfelt repentance before Christ can change your life forever!

Matt chats with Dr. Ingrid Faro about the problem of evil and suffering.

Most people assume humans are basically good. But Scripture tells a very different story. In this episode of the Redeeming Truth Podcast, our pastors respond to surprising findings from the Ligonier / Lifeway State of Theology survey, which revealed that many self-identified evangelicals hold views about sin that contradict the Bible. Walking through passages such as Psalm 51, Romans 5, James 2, and Ephesians 2, they explain why a low view of sin ultimately comes from a low view of God's holiness—and why misunderstanding sin leads to misunderstanding the gospel. When we see sin as the Bible describes it, the grace of Christ becomes far more glorious.

In this season of Lent, we're on a break from new episodes and are re-running a conversation from 2023 that we had the co-author of Freeing Congregational Mission, Dr. Hunter Farrell. He served as a long-term missionary in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Peru and now works as the Director of the World Mission Initiative at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Dr. Farrell brings a wealth of first hand and research knowledge about Christian Mission. After 35 years in intercultural missions, he is calling for a reframing of missions. What would it look like to approach missions with a learning posture? How can we create spaces of connection for shared learning across cultures?

Lauren and Jamie sit down with Beth Legrand, Jamie's sister-in-law, to share her powerful testimony. After years of oppression and abuse, Beth encountered the redeeming power of our Lord Jesus Christ. Her story of transformation is both heartbreaking and inspiring, leaving you in tears and in awe of the incredible ways God restores and redeems.

In this powerful conversation, host Lantz Howard sits down with therapist, author, and New York City resident Jay Stringer, author of the award-winning Unwanted and the upcoming Desire: The Longings Inside Us and the New Science of How We Love, Heal, and Grow.Jay shares vulnerably about midlife chrysalis moments, the "provisional self" we create to survive family dynamics, the cost of suppressing or blindly following desire, and how our deepest longings—sexual and beyond—can become roadmaps to healing rather than sources of shame.Key highlights include:Navigating marriage and dating in the intensity of NYC life; saunas, cold plunges, bookstore dates, and the longing for wild nature.How unresolved family stories shape unwanted sexual behaviors—and why paying attention to them leads to freedomThe difference between suppressing desire, indulging it, and intentionally forming itMidlife as a time to honor "loyal soldiers," bury outdated roles, and listen for what Jesus is invitingBecoming a person "worth having sex with"—differentiation, self-soothing, and bringing a whole self to intimacy (not just seeking validation)Practical invitations: Honor the "albatross" (current struggles/loneliness) flying over your life + rediscover the "bells" (moments your heart rang true)Whether you're wrestling with intimacy, purpose, midlife transition, or leadership fatigue, this episode offers compassion, clinical wisdom, and spiritual depth to help you stop surviving and start truly living.---Work with Lantz Howard at www.lantzhoward.com I help high-performers align identity, marriage, and vocation– so they can lead wholeheartedly with the purpose that flows from a sound mind and a healthy soul.

Dr. Charli talks withKaren Childress as she shares her powerful testimony of overcoming childhood abuse, addiction, and prison through the transforming power of Jesus Christ and God's Word. After serving two and a half years in prison, she encountered the grace of God that completely changed the direction of her life. Her story is a powerful reminder that no life is beyond redemption and that God can rebuild even the most broken places.Active-Faith.orgcharli@active-faith.comexpel evil, reclaim the land, heal the soul

Ruth and Boaz marry and the Lord provides a son. The focus is now on Naomi, who was once bitter, is now holding her grandson. The women rejoice around her and the neighborhood celebrates, just as Christians today are to do. The Lord takes what is empty and makes it full. So even if our lives seem beyond repair, we look to Jesus, who comes from this lineage, to know that we are full in Him.

Sunday Morning Service3/8/2026Verses: Ephesians 5:15-16Ephesians 2:101 Corinthians 6:19-20Romans 14:7-8Ephesians 5:3-10Psalm 139:16Proverbs 2:6Ephesians 5:17Ephesians 5:18Ephesians 5:19-21

How Christians are to make the best use of our limited time on Earth for God's Glory.

Phil Mash preaches from Ephesians 5:15-20 on redeeming the time, making the most of every opportunity, and living with faith, not fear.

Eight Things Christians Are Supposed to Be Doing Right Now • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give 1. Returning to Our First Love, Jesus Christ Before we do anything for God, we must be with God. This hour demands intimacy, repentance, and renewed devotion, not just activity. Revelation 2:4–5 (NKJV): “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.” 2. Making Disciples, Not Just Converts The assignment has never changed. We are not called to entertain the world, but to disciple it. Matthew 28:19–20 (NKJV): “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.” 3. Watching and Staying Spiritually Alert We are commanded to stay awake spiritually, discerning the times and refusing complacency. Matthew 24:42 (NKJV): “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” 4. Living Holy and Set Apart Lives Holiness is not optional. It is how we remain usable vessels in a dark world. 1 Peter 1:15–16 (NKJV): “But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, ‘Be holy, for I am holy.'” 5. Redeeming the Time and Living Intentionally This is not the season to waste time on meaningless pursuits or endless distractions. Ephesians 5:15–17 (NKJV): “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” 6. Standing Firm in Truth Without Compromise The pressure to compromise is real, but the call to stand is stronger. 1 Corinthians 16:13 (NKJV): “Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.” 7. Occupying Until Jesus Returns We are not waiting passively. We are working faithfully. Luke 19:13 (NKJV): “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.'” 8. Walking Daily by the Power of the Holy Spirit Christianity was never meant to be lived in human strength. Acts 1:8 (NKJV): “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Church, this is not a time to drift. It is a time to return, rebuild, refocus, and rise. God is not looking for perfect people. He is looking for surrendered, obedient, watchful, and faithful ones. The question is not what the world is doing right now. The question is whether the Church will do what God has clearly told us to do.

Join in as Matt Shiles dials up a recovering Pastor Josh to discuss the finer points of his first sermon of the new Genesis series. Matt steers the conversation into exactly what Pastor Josh is talking about when he says, "Redeeming a people from all peoples". Listen in for the direction and ideas behind this series, and where it will take us.

Ruth is being redeemed by Boaz in a seal of public display. Redeemed people are claimed people. And from redemption comes an overflow of joy. Christians today are to rejoice in the joy of their salvation and share the hope they have received from their Redeemer to the world.

Is your heart hardened to the idea of following Christ? Have you counted the cost of rejecting the gospel? This week we continued in our series through Luke's Gospel as Pastor Alex Trotter delivered a message centered on Luke 7:1-35. Wherever you are at in life, now is the time to run to Christ, soften your heart, and follow him. Listen to this week's message to find out how!

Is truth objective—or just personal preference? In this episode of Redeeming Truth, our pastors address the growing rejection of biblical truth within modern evangelicalism. Using Scripture and data from The State of Theology survey, they explain what truth is, why it matters, and how abandoning God's Word leads to doctrinal drift, cultural confusion, and dying churches. This conversation calls believers back to Jesus Christ—the Truth—and reminds the church of its God-given responsibility to know, uphold, and proclaim the truth with courage, love, and conviction.

In the conclusion of his sermon in Luke 6, Christ's attention shifts from how we treat outsiders, to how we treat one another within God's Kingdom as he calls his people to put down their gavel, show mercy to others and treasure HIS word in their heart! When the storms of life hit, will your faith stand, or will it collapse and reveal an unstable foundation that is powerless to save you?

In this stirring episode, Sarah MacLeod unpacks the biblical call to redeem the time in a world filled with distraction, pressure, and spiritual opposition. Drawing from Scripture, Sarah shares a timely message on living with intentionality, wisdom, and urgency—recognizing the weight and purpose of every season.With clarity and conviction, Sarah challenges listeners to rise above passivity and embrace a lifestyle that reflects God's priorities, even in difficult days. This episode will encourage you to steward your time with faith, courage, and an eternal perspective.

In Part 7 of Jesus Revealed in Every Book of the Bible, Pastor Verna DeHart traces “The Scarlet Thread Through Scripture” in her powerful message, Judges & Ruth: Our Righteous Judge and Redeeming Kinsman. Recorded on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, this sermon reveals how Jesus stands at the center of two seemingly contrasting books—one marked by chaos and cycles of sin, the other by covenant love and redemption.The book of Judges exposes a tragic spiritual pattern: forgetting God, falling into sin, oppression, crying out, deliverance—only to repeat the cycle again. “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” Pastor Verna shows us that willpower cannot break sin cycles—only a King can. Jesus is not a temporary deliverer; He is our Righteous Judge for all generations. Under His authority, truth is no longer relative, and sin no longer has dominion.Then in the midst of national chaos, the book of Ruth reveals redemption at work. Ruth, a widow in a foreign land, chooses covenant over convenience and obedience over comfort. When she sows faithfully under God's covering, Boaz declares blessing over her life. Her story becomes a prophetic picture of Jesus—our true Kinsman Redeemer—who became like us, paid the price, and restored our inheritance.From Ruth to Obed, from Obed to Jesse, from Jesse to David—and from David to Christ—the scarlet thread of redemption was weaving a Savior even in Israel's darkest days.This episode will encourage you to:• Live under the authority of Jesus, your Righteous Judge• Break free from destructive cycles through grace• Trust that redemption is working, even in seasons of lack• Declare that nothing in your story is wasted

Redemption always costs something. It's not clean or easy. And for Boaz it looks like legal action. He has weighed the responsibility and is ready to redeem if the nearer kinsman redeemer refuses. This unknown redeemer, concerned with earthly inheritance, isn't willing to pay the cost. By grace, we have a Redeemer in Jesus Christ, who gave up His inheritance in heaven to come pay the cost of redemption for us with His own life.

This Sunday, we stepped into Acts 21:17–26, a passage that beautifully shows Paul navigating the tension between gospel clarity and cultural difference. It raises an important question for every believer: How do we hold fast to the uniqueness of the gospel while celebrating the beauty of the diverse peoples Christ redeems? Scripture gives us a breathtaking picture of this. In Revelation 21, John sees the nations bringing their glory into the New Jerusalem—their redeemed beauty, their distinct cultures, all gathered around the Lamb. And in Revelation 5, heaven erupts in praise because Jesus has ransomed people from every tribe, language, and nation and made them one kingdom. That's our future: a redeemed, diverse family joyfully united in worship. And that vision shapes how we live now. Christ didn't come to create a single, uniform culture—He came to redeem people in all their God‑given distinctiveness. This is exactly the challenge and the joy we see in Acts: holding out the gospel with clarity while honoring the cultures of those Christ is calling to Himself. In a world full of confusion and division, we need this vision more than ever. I'm looking forward fixing our eyes on Jesus together each Sunday at 9 &11AM. Hope you can come and will invite others to worship our Savior and King together.

What does the Bible mean by the phrase, "redeeming the time?" This episode delves into the biblical meaning of this expression.

In Luke 6:12–36, Jesus forms a people for his kingdom and then teaches them how kingdom life works. As Children of the Most High our lives should resemble the love and mercy we've received from God our Father. As Christians, Jesus commands us to love our enemies, bless others, pray for those who have hurt us and give freely without demanding payback. Tune into this week's message and discover how you too can live with mercy and compassion that mirrors the mercy God has shown you in Christ.

Stephen Boyce gives the case that Origen can possibly still be made a saint by the Catholic Church.

Ruth and Boaz exhibit faith in courageous action. Going to the threshing floor meant putting everything on the line, yet Ruth goes and makes a proposal to Boaz. In knowing he is a redeemer, they both understand the Lord's provision here, and the matter will be settled in the morning. These two point the greater love story of Christ our Redeemer sheltering us under His wings. However this life plays out, we are to be faithful, knowing that the Lord's faithfulness endures forever.

How does the new covenant relate to the old covenant? What role does the Sabbath play in the life of 21st Century believers living under the new covenant? In this week's sermon, Pastor Alex unpacks these questions and more as he delivers a sermon centered on Luke 5:33-6:11, in which he shows that Christ is Lord over the Sabbath and our lives.

Naomi's attitude has gone from bitter to hopeful as she guides Ruth towards Boaz. Knowing he's a redeemer, Naomi encourages her daughter in law, and Ruth listens. Often God can feel distant, we can feel in the dark, but the Lord is always at work in His providence. Noting happens apart from His will and plan, even when we can't see it.

Today’s justice movements are often dominated by secular worldviews. But what if the Bible provides Christians with an even more compelling vision for a just and flourishing society? Dr. Christina Crenshaw will join us to share her journey of learning how to integrate biblical analysis, finding examples from the present and historic church, and using stories from her own life to provide a helpful model for us for doing justice work within a solidly orthodox and biblical worldview.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In ordinary ways, Ruth and Boaz are experiencing God's providential kindness. They both witness to others and to one another of the Lord's faithfulness. The redemption isn't just words or a rescue, but communion. By God's grace we don't glean on the outside but are welcomed to the table and into His family.

Why does Scripture so often portray women as central to God's work of redemption—even in stories of deep dysfunction and failure? In this episode, Dr. Ingrid Faro, Old Testament scholar and interim president of Northern Seminary, joins Dru Johnson to explore her groundbreaking work in Redeeming Eden: How Women in the Bible Advance the Story of Salvation. Dr. Faro shares how her personal journey through theological trauma, cultic church experiences, and academic discovery led her to reexamine Genesis 1–3 and the women of the Bible. She explains how Hebrew terms like ezer and tzelah (often translated “helper” and “rib”) have been misunderstood, how Eve's story actually radiates hope, and how strategic female figures consistently propel salvation history forward. The conversation also tackles misinterpretations of Genesis 3:16, the patterns of dysfunction and healing across the biblical narrative, and what the Bible really says about evil. This episode is a deep and hopeful reconsideration of gender, power, and goodness within the story of Scripture.

When pastors fall into sexual sin, adultery, or moral failure, the impact on churches, families, and individual believers can be devastating. In this episode of Redeeming Truth from Redeemer Bible Church, Pastor Jon Benzinger sits down with our pastors and biblical counselors to speak honestly about fallen pastors, pastoral disqualification, and how Christians can process betrayal while rebuilding trust in Christ—not in men. Drawing from real-life stories of hidden sin, long-term affairs, and leaders disqualified from ministry, this conversation addresses: Why sound theology—even Reformed doctrine—alone cannot keep a pastor from falling How discontentment, lust, pride, and heart-level idolatry fuel secret sin The ripple effects of pastoral failure on marriages, children, congregations, and communities Why pastors are "but men" who need accountability, prayer, and close fellowship How believers can grieve rightly while keeping their eyes fixed on Jesus You'll also hear: A sobering account of a large church shattered by a long-hidden affair Counseling insights on trust, trauma, disillusionment, and church discipline Biblical warnings from Luke 4:13; 1 Timothy 4:16; James 1; Romans 13, and more Why discontentment often becomes the gateway sin to adultery and moral failure Howard Hendricks' findings from thousands of fallen pastors—and what they all had stopped doing If you've been hurt by a fallen pastor, fear it could happen where you worship, or are a pastor who wants to finish well, this episode offers sober warning, biblical clarity, and gospel hope.

Spencer Reese welcomes Ross Alcorn from Itinerary Boss https://itineraryboss.com/ to discuss credit card points and miles strategies, with special focus on small business owners. Ross shares how he saved $19,000 on his honeymoon, reveals tactical business spending strategies, and explains how military service members can leverage TDY travel and small business expenses to fund dream vacations. Guest: Ross Alcorn - Charlotte, NC-based travel strategist, former sales rep road warrior (6-7 years), real estate investor, and founder of Itinerary Boss. Key Topics Covered Getting Started - The Low-Hanging Fruit: Sign up for FREE hotel loyalty programs (Hilton, Marriott, IHG, Hyatt) Add loyalty numbers to TDY/TAD stays retroactively if needed Military discount: Epic Pass for active duty/spouses ~$200 (normally $1,200) Start with no annual fee cards to build credit and learn the basics Never carry a balance - if you're paying interest, you're doing it wrong Business Spending Strategies: Most common mistake: Using Amex Platinum for everything (only 1x points on most purchases) Capital One Venture X Business: Uncapped 2x points, no preset credit limit Cards earning 3-4x on ad spend (Facebook, Google ads) Use Melio (M-E-L-I-O) to pay vendors who don't accept cards via ACH (2.9% fee) Negotiate early payment discounts (net 15 vs net 30) to offset processing fees Millions in business expenses going uncharged to credit cards The 2.9% Fee Debate: Worth it if redeeming points at 1.5+ cents per point value Effective 25-40% cash back when factoring welcome bonuses + transfer value Business expenses are tax deductible Ross personally pays fees on all expenses knowing he'll redeem at 2-6 cents/point Real-World Example - $19,000 Honeymoon Savings: Cards used: Chase Sapphire Reserve, Capital One Venture, Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Ink Business Unlimited Flights: Qatar Q-Suites business class using 200K points (Chase + Capital One) Stayed 11 nights using Hyatt points at Alila properties in Bali Built point stash over 1-1.5 years through group travel booking + daily spend + business welcome bonuses Strategy: Booked award availability 355 days out when British Airways/Qatar released schedules Flexibility: Mixed business and premium economy on return flight Transfer Partners & Redemption: NEVER redeem for Amazon gift cards, statement credits, or low-value portal bookings (0.6-0.7 cents/point) Transfer to airline partners for 2-6+ cents per point value Don't use Amex points for hotels (poor value) Example: 175K Amex points = potential $12,700 business class seats to South Africa Tools: Points.Yeah.com for flight availability and award searching Military-Specific Advantages: Overseas duty stations = less competition for award space (Frankfurt, Tokyo, Seoul) Different inventory than US-based flyers TDY/TAD stays earn hotel points and elite status Annual fee waivers on personal cards (not business cards) via MLA/SCRA Chase Sapphire Reserve: $0 annual fee for military/spouses Strategic Tips: Always volunteer to pay group bills/dinners (earn points, get reimbursed) Premium economy fine for daytime flights under 8-9 hours Business class essential for overnight/long-haul flights (9+ hours) Plan 1-2 years ahead for big trips - comfortable pace to build points Opening velocity: Ross did one card every 91 days at peak (very aggressive) Combine household points (Chase, Amex, Capital One allow this) Book tickets in anyone's name, not just your own Credit Card Stacking Strategy: Don't use one premium card for everything Match card to spending category for maximum points Chase "cash back" cards earn Ultimate Rewards points if you have Sapphire Reserve/Preferred Transfer between household members before booking Welcome bonuses are the real value - daily spend is bonus Business Culture Hack: Instead of $5-10K cash bonus, give employees 500K miles + book their dream trip Tax deductible, builds culture, retains talent More memorable than cash bonus IHG Five Free Nights Strategy: Five free nights at properties up to 60K points/night Ross staying 4 nights in Grand Cayman at $800/night hotel = $3,200 saved Fourth night free on award bookings Anniversary free night each year Used for wedding block, earning 26x points on wedding expenses Common Mistakes to Avoid: Not asking vendors if they accept credit cards Using wrong card for spending category (leaving 2-3x points on table) Redeeming points poorly (gift cards, statement credits) Not tracking card benefits and credits Waiting too long to book award travel Not being flexible with dates/airports Tools & Resources Mentioned: Points.Yeah.com - Award availability search, flight ideas map Melio - Pay vendors via card when they only accept ACH Plastiq - Pay rent/large bills with credit card (2.9% fee) Free Points & Miles Cheat Sheet at ItineraryBoss.com Transfer partner guide and credit card multiplier sheets Key Quotes "There's millions of dollars that aren't being put on cards because of just not asking the right questions." "If you're earning 2x points and utilizing those points to transfer, even with a 3% fee, the numbers pencil when you're redeeming at 2-6 cents per point." "175,000 Amex points could be used to get you business class, first class seats - we used 176K Chase points for $12,700 worth of business class seats to South Africa." "Don't redeem for Amazon gift cards, statement credits, or through the portal - you're getting 0.6-0.7 cents per point. That's terrible." "Why give a $10K cash bonus when you could give someone 500K miles and book them a trip to Greece or Bali they'd never do on their own?"
