This episode closes the Start Strong series by asking a question many believers quietly carry: if we are no longer under the law, what keeps us from drifting back into sin? In Galatians 5:13–24, Paul's message is both freeing and searching: true faith does not lead us to use freedom as an excuse for sin, but to become people who increasingly love what is good. In this week's episode, we explore:Why Paul wrote to the Galatians and how he answers the claim that grace leads to moral collapse What Paul means by “the flesh” and why self-reliance can never produce true holiness How freedom from the law is not freedom to sin, but freedom to love and serve others Why a changed life does not earn salvation, but does testify to the reality of saving faith By the end of this episode, listeners will better understand why the Christian life is not sustained by fear, technique, or external pressure, but by God's Spirit at work within us. It is an encouraging reminder that holiness grows not from trying harder in our own strength, but from trusting the God who changes broken people from the inside out.Series: Start Strong: A New Believer's Podcast

This episode explores how the Holy Spirit gives believers real assurance that they belong to God. Looking closely at Ephesians 1:13–23, Krisan Marotta explains that the Spirit is not only the fulfillment of God's promises, but also God's seal of ownership and his guarantee that he will bring his people safely into their promised inheritance. In this week's episode, we explore: What Paul means when he says believers are “sealed with the promised Holy Spirit”  Why hearing and believing the gospel are central to receiving this assurance  How Old Testament promises in Jeremiah and Joel help explain the Spirit's role  The threefold meaning of God's seal: authenticity, ownership, and protection  Why the Holy Spirit is described as a pledge or down payment of our inheritance  How Paul's prayer in Ephesians points believers toward wisdom, revelation, and lasting hope  What it means to have the “eyes of your heart” enlightened to see the value of God's promises After listening, you'll have a clearer understanding of why the Christian's confidence rests not in feelings, rituals, or circumstances, but in God's own work through the Holy Spirit.  Series: Start Strong: A New Believer's PodcastStart Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is available now wherever books are sold.

You can look faithful on the outside and still be building your life around the wrong treasure. In this epsidoe, Krisan Marotta walks through Matthew 6:19–24 and shows how Jesus exposes the false security of worldly wealth, approval, and success. The real issue is not simply money, but whatever we cling to for meaning, safety, and hope instead of trusting the promises of God. In this week's episode, we explore: What Jesus means by “treasures on earth” and “treasures in heaven”  Why earthly treasure always fails, while God's promises endure  How your treasure reveals where your heart truly is  What it means for the eye to be “healthy” or “bad,” and how spiritual blindness distorts what we value  Why serving both God and money is ultimately impossible  How the Pharisees modeled outward religion while still chasing the rewards of this world  What it looks like to entrust your future to God instead of building your life around what you cannot keep After reading, you'll have a clearer picture of what Jesus is warning against in the Sermon on the Mount and why this warning matters for every believer. This post invites you to examine what you are really living for, to see the emptiness of temporary treasure, and to fix your hope on the one treasure you can never lose. Series: Start Strong: A New Believer's PodcastStart Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is available now wherever books are sold.

Authority and submission often feel like problems to solve or power struggles to survive. In this episode, Krisan Marotta explores Colossians 3:18–4:1 and shows how Paul reframes those relationships through the gospel. Rather than asking how to protect ourselves or get our way, Paul calls us to live as people who belong to Christ, acting in every role with humility, responsibility, and trust in God.In this week's episode, we explore:What it means to do everything “in the name of the Lord Jesus”How the gospel reshapes relationships involving authority and submissionPaul's teaching for wives and husbands, and how responsibility differs from worthWhat children and parents are called to in a relationship shaped by love and wisdomHow Paul's words to slaves and masters speak into the realities of work and leadership todayWhy every human role is ultimately accountable to the Lord ChristAfter listening, you'll have a clearer framework for thinking about authority, submission, work, and responsibility in light of the gospel. Series: Start Strong: A New Believer's PodcastStart Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is available now wherever books are sold.

In this first week of our series, How To Ruin Your Faith, we're reminded that faith doesn't usually fall apart all at once—it drifts. Like swimmers slowly carried by a current, nothing feels wrong at first. Everything seems normal. But over time, we can find ourselves far from where we started. In our walk with Jesus, drift is subtle. It shows up in small shifts—less time in Scripture, less prayer, slowly justifying things we once felt convicted about. Paul's response in Galatians is urgent because this kind of drift can happen quickly, and often without us realizing it. In our church family, this invites us to honestly ask: where have we grown casual in areas that once mattered deeply?As we grow together in faith, we're called to be re-anchored in the true gospel—Jesus plus nothing. The Galatians didn't reject Jesus; they added to Him. And we can do the same by mixing in performance, approval, personal truth, or control. But the gospel isn't about what we bring—it's about what Jesus has already done. When we start reshaping truth, building identity apart from Christ, or seeking acceptance over faithfulness, we begin to drift. So the question isn't just, “Do I believe in Jesus?” but “Is Jesus enough for me?” The good news is no matter how far we've drifted, we're never too far gone. Jesus is enough, and He is always ready to lead us back and re-anchor our lives in His truth.

In this episode of Wednesday in the Word, Krisan Marotta returns to Genesis 2:15–25 to recover a biblical vision of marriage—not as a checklist of moral rules, but as God's beautiful design for human intimacy and flourishing. By watching how God creates Adam and Eve, Krisan shows why marriage is God's wise provision for a need we were made to have: the need to know and be known in a uniquely human relationship. In this week's episode, we explore:Why God says it is “not good” for Adam to be alone—even before sin enters the worldWhat it means for Eve to be a “helper fit for him”: truly corresponding, matched, and humanHow Genesis presents marriage as God's gift and design, not a human invention we can redefineThe three foundational commitments of marriage in Genesis 2:24: leaving, holding fast, and becoming one fleshHow “specialness,” “permanence,” and shared life reshape everyday tensions—including chores, priorities, and conflictWhy the Bible frames sexuality as an expression of covenant faithfulness: chastity before marriage and fidelity afterAfter listening, you'll come away with a clearer, more compelling picture of what marriage is meant to be: a covenant where two people reorder life around one another, stay committed through hardship, and learn to live as “we” instead of “me.” Most of all, you'll be invited to see God's design not as restrictive, but as the path toward the intimacy and security our hearts were made to seek.  Series: Start Strong: A New Believer's PodcastStart Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is available now wherever books are sold.

In this episode of Wednesday in the Word, Krisan Marotta walks through 1 Corinthians 6:9–14 to answer a question many believers quietly carry: If I still struggle with sin, does that mean I'm not truly saved? Paul's warning is sobering, but it's not meant to crush the repentant struggler. Instead, it exposes the danger of self-deception and clarifies the difference between stumbling into sin and settling into it as a way of life. In this week's episode, we explore:Why Paul says “do not be deceived,” and what kind of deception he's warning the church aboutHow to understand the “will not inherit the kingdom of God” list without denying either grace or the reality of ongoing struggleThe crucial distinction between momentary failure and a life characterized by settled, defended unrighteousnessHow Titus 3:3–7 helps explain what it means to be “washed,” “justified,” and “sanctified”Why “all things are lawful” can become a dangerous misuse of the gospel when it's used to excuse sinPaul's correction to the “food is for the stomach” argument—and why the body matters to God, including the hope of resurrectionAfter listening, you'll have a clearer framework for examining your own heart without despair or denial: not whether you've ever sinned, but whether you're willing to repent, be taught, and move toward the Lord. Series: Start Strong: A New Believer's PodcastStart Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is available now wherever books are sold.

In this solo episode, Brad breaks down a high-energy night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse as the Pacers fall 137–130 to the Lakers in a game packed with star power and storylines. From LeBron James and Luka Dončić leading the Lakers, to Caitlin Clark and CJ Miles in the building, to T.J. McConnell's birthday and Tyrese Haliburton's return to the bench, the stage was set for a big night in Indy. But the Pacers dug themselves an early hole, turning the ball over four times before even attempting a shot, while the Lakers exploded for 45 first-quarter points to take early control. To Indiana's credit, they battled back behind a career night from Andrew Nembhard, who dished out a career-high 19 assists, and an ultra-efficient scoring performance from McConnell. The Pacers made multiple pushes to get back into it, but ultimately couldn't overcome Luka's 43-point performance as the Lakers held on late. A fun night, a competitive finish — but another loss for the Pacers. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today's passage is one of the "See For Yourself" passages Chapter 6 of Start Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity. In Matthew 10:40–42, Jesus makes a startling connection: the way we welcome His people reveals the way we welcome Him and, ultimately, the God who sent Him. This episode clarifies what it means to “receive” Jesus in Scripture, showing that it's not a passive feeling but an active choice to accept, listen, and embrace His messengers and message. In this week's episode, we explore:What “receive” means in the Bible and why it implies deliberate welcome rather than passive contactHow receiving Jesus' disciples reflects receiving Jesus Himself (and the Father who sent Him)What it means to receive a prophet “in the name of a prophet” Why Jesus links “reward” to salvation and mercyWhy Jesus calls His disciples “little ones,” and how humility and dependence shape true faithHow welcoming a disciple with something as small as a cup of cold water carries eternal significanceWhat your response to Scripture (the apostles' words) and to fellow believers reveals about your heart toward GodAfter listening, you'll have a clearer, more biblical understanding of what it means to “receive” Jesus and why faith shows up in concrete, everyday welcomes. Series: Start Strong: A New Believer's PodcastGive more than an invitation this Easter; give a guide to the Christian faith.Start Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is available wherever books are sold. 

How do you draw in your listener, right from the very beginning? Don't lose your listener before you even have them. An overly lengthy, unintentional, or boring introduction at the top of an episode is a great way to do just that. Much like in radio and newspaper, the lede is your opportunity to seize and delight your audience, so it's important not to squander it.  Mary knows the pain of sitting through a dry, repetitive podcast intro. In this episode, she brings you the details you need to avoid that pitfall. There's a difference between show and episode intros, and all too many pods air what should actually be a stand-alone trailer at the top, every time. Discover the ingredients that deliver an impactful and purposeful lede and the factors that should guide your intro style choice. Now, the question is: what will you tweak or try in your next episode to land your listener right away? Avoid boring beginnings with Mary's quick, high-impact tips: The difference between show and episode intros and trailers; The five building blocks of a show intro; How your show's goal and ideal listener guide your lead-in.

Today's passage is one of the "See For Yourself" passages Chapter 5 of Start Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity. Jesus closes the Sermon on the Mount with a warning that is both sobering and hopeful: it's possible to talk like a disciple while walking the wrong road. In Matthew 7:12–29, we learn how a God-centered worldview reshapes what “love” looks like in practice—and how the Golden Rule, true spiritual fruit, and the foundation we build on reveal whether we're actually headed toward life.In this week's episode, we explore:How the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12) summarizes “love your neighbor as yourself” as a call to seek another person's good—not simply to be “nice”Why Jesus frames the choice before us as two roads: the wide way to destruction and the narrow way to life (Matthew 7:13–14)What it means to “recognize them by their fruits,” and how discernment protects God's people from false teachers (Matthew 7:15–20)Why calling Jesus “Lord” and even doing impressive religious works isn't the same as doing the Father's will (Matthew 7:21–23)How the images of rock and sand press the question: are we hearing Jesus' words and living as if they're true? (Matthew 7:24–27)How humility, mercy, repentance, and a longing for God's kingdom mark the path Jesus describes throughout the sermonAfter listening, you'll come away with clearer “markers on the road” for examining your faith—not through fear or performance, but through the settled direction of a life built on Jesus' teaching. You'll be invited to center your worldview on God, practice love with wisdom and integrity, and choose the narrow path that leads to life. Series: Start Strong: A New Believer's PodcastStart Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is available now wherever books are sold.

Today's passage is one of the "See For Yourself" passages Chapter 4 of Start Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity. What does saving faith actually look like and how did Jesus define it? In this episode, we turn to Matthew 5:1–12 and the Beatitudes to hear Jesus describe the people who are truly “blessed.” Rather than offering a path to personal happiness or self-improvement, Jesus paints a picture of saving faith that recognizes sin, depends on grace, and trusts God for eternal life.In this week's episode, we explore:Why the Beatitudes are not a checklist for a better life, but a description of people who inherit the kingdom of heavenWhat Jesus means by calling the poor in spirit, the meek, and the persecuted “blessed”How the Beatitudes reveal the sharp divide between those in God's favor and those under judgmentThe four core convictions of saving faith: Recognize, Embrace, Accept, and Lean (R.E.A.L faith)Why future hope, not present comfort, defines who is truly fortunateHow Jesus' teaching exposes the lies we believe about God, ourselves, and where real life is foundAfter listening, you'll come away with a clearer understanding of what saving faith is—and what it is not. You'll see how the Beatitudes describe the heart posture of those who trust God rather than themselves, and why faith is ultimately about where you are headed, not how comfortable you are now.   Series: Start Strong: A New Believer's PodcastStart Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is available now wherever books are sold.

Today's passage is one of the "See For Yourself" passages Chapter 3 of Start Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity. If all religions lead to God, why did Jesus have to die? This episode walks through John 3:14–21 to show why the cross is not one option among many, but God's gracious and necessary provision for a guilty world. Through Jesus' nighttime conversation with Nicodemus and the Old Testament story of the bronze serpent, we see why believing in Jesus is the only way to escape condemnation and receive eternal life. In this week's episode, we explore:The tension many Christians feel between “all religions are valid” and “Jesus is the only way” and why both cannot be trueHow Jesus challenges Nicodemus' assumptions about religion, knowledge, and spiritual rebirthThe wilderness story of the bronze serpent in Numbers 21 and how it prepares us to understand the crossWhat it means for the Son of Man to be “lifted up,” and why simply looking to Christ in faith is God's appointed way of rescueHow John 3:16–17 reveals God's heart: not to condemn the world, but to save it through His SonAfter listening, you'll come away with a clearer grasp of why the cross was necessary, why belief in Jesus matters so profoundly, and how your response to Him reveals the true condition of your heart.  Series: Start Strong: A New Believer's PodcastStart Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is available now wherever books are sold.Support the show

Today's passage is one of the "See For Yourself" passages Chapter 2 of Start Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity. Why do you still feel guilty even after you've apologized and tried to move on? In this episode, Krisan Marotta walks through Romans 1:18–32 to show that guilt is more than a feeling to shake off—it's the real and serious result of rebelling against a holy God. Paul's words expose a pattern of rebellion, death, and wrath that explains why life unravels without God, and why real guilt can only be answered by real forgiveness in Christ. In this week's episode, we explore:Why confusion about sin and guilt is so widespread—even among ChristiansHow Romans 1:18–32 fits into Paul's larger argument about justification by faithWhat it means that God's wrath “is revealed” now, not just on a future Judgment DayHow creation itself leaves us “without excuse” before GodThe repeated pattern Paul traces: rebellion, death, and God “giving them over”Why idolatry begins with what we see, captures our hearts, and then reshapes our bodies and behaviorHow “respectable” sins like gossip, pride, and arrogance reveal the same underlying exchange of truth for a lieWhy God's wrath is not a temper tantrum, but a just decision to hand us over to what we insist on havingHow this bleak diagnosis prepares us to understand and cherish the hope held out in the gospelAfter listening, you'll see guilt in a new light, not as something to ignore or manage, but as a truthful indicator that you need more than a fresh start. You'll come away with a clearer grasp of what Romans 1 teaches about sin, spiritual death, and God's wrath, and you'll be better prepared to understand why the good news of Jesus is not just helpful advice, but the only way out of the prison of sin and death. Series: Start Strong: A New Believer's PodcastStart Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is available now wherever books are sold.Support the show

Today we're kicking off a new season of the podcast which is a special companion series to my book, Start Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity. Each episode will walk you through one of the book's “See for Yourself” passages, helping you read Scripture with confidence, even if you're just starting out. Today's passage is from Chapter 1.Most people today assume we're basically good—and that sin is a few bad choices sprinkled on top. In this episode, Krisan Marotta walks through Romans 6:15–7:6 to show why that view quietly empties the gospel of its power. Paul's argument reveals that grace doesn't make sin safer; it exposes just how destructive it really is—and why understanding sin is the first step toward real hope. In this week's episode, we explore:Why believing we're “born innocent” blinds us to our need for a SaviorHow Paul answers the objection, “If grace covers all sin, why not keep sinning?” (Romans 6:15) What it means to be a “slave” either to sin or to righteousness—and how that shapes the quality of your daily life How the Bible defines “death” as more than physical dying: a present experience of decay, futility, and relational breakdown Why sin always pays out in death, even for believers whose eternal inheritance is secure (Romans 6:23) Why the law could expose sin but never cure it—and how it actually inflamed our rebellion (Romans 7:1–6) Paul's marriage analogy for being released from the law so that we can “belong to another,” to Christ, and bear fruit for God How the Holy Spirit, not human willpower, becomes the new way we serve God “in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” After listening, you'll come away with a clearer understanding of what sin really is, why it always brings some kind of death into your life, and why grace is not permission to drift but the power that frees you from slavery to sin. Series: Start Strong: A New Believer's PodcastStart Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is available now wherever books are sold.Support the show

Charlie closes our Start Strong sermon series with a message inspired by Nehemiah 1:2-3.

Krisan Marotta, host of Wednesday in the Word podcast, joins Rob Schilling on AM 1070 WINA's The Schilling Show to discuss her book Start Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity. Instead of talking about why she wrote the book, they dive straight into the theology, covering what new believers need to understand and why it matters. Key takeaways:Repentance is more than saying sorry. It's a complete change of direction and the first step of saving faith.Sin has both short-term consequences (bitterness, frustration, tragedy) and long-term consequences (standing before God).Finding the right church means looking for one that teaches the Bible in a real way, not just political agendas.Biblical worldview divides people into sinners who have found forgiveness through Jesus and those who haven't, not oppressors and oppressed.Fellowship with other believers is essential for encouragement and growth.Fearing God means making what He thinks more important than anything else.AM 1070 WINA's The Schilling Show January 27, 2026Start Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is available now wherever books are sold.Beginning February 4, join us for Season 27 of the podcast, Start Strong: A New Believer's Podcast.

Pastor Matt Grubb, January 25, 2026

Pastor Jerome shares the next message in our Start Strong sermon series. He encourages us to Stand Firm by fastening the belt of truth and breastplate of righteousness, refusing to let our circumstances define our peace, holding up the shield of faith, and guarding what we think and speaking what God says.

Season 27 of Wednesday in the Word begins February 4, 2026, and I couldn't be more excited to share what's ahead. This new season is a companion to my book Start Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity, and it's designed especially for those who are new to faith, returning to church after time away, or walking alongside someone who is.Each week, we'll unpack one key passage from the book's “See for Yourself” section, helping you build a solid foundation, one truth at a time.I'm also introducing something brand new: Krisan Marotta's Bookcast—a subscriber-only podcast where you can listen to the audiobook version of Start Strong, one chapter at a time. Each chapter will release one week before the matching podcast episode, giving you a chance to hear the full teaching, then explore the biblical passage in depth.If you've ever wanted a trusted guide to walk with you through the basics of Christianity—or wished you had a resource to share with someone just starting out—this is for you.Podcast: Start Strong: A New Believer's PodcastBook: Start Strong: A New Believer's Guide to ChristianityKrisan Marotta's BookCast - click on the support the show linkStart Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is available now wherever books are sold.Beginning February 4, join us for Season 27 of the podcast, Start Strong: A New Believer's Podcast.

Let me ask you something. How many times have you stepped into a brand-new year saying, “This is it. This is finally the year I lose the weight,” only to feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or burned out before February even shows up? If that sounds familiar, welcome back to the podcast—and friend, you are exactly where you're meant to be today. Because we're not talking about another extreme plan. Not about perfection. Not about white-knuckling your way through a list of food rules you'll feel guilty about breaking in a few weeks. Instead, today we're talking about how to start strong in a way that actually lasts—with a simple, sustainable, faith-filled approach to your health. This episode is all about creating a New Year plan you can stick to. One built on small, doable nutrition shifts, gentle but effective movement, intentional time with Jesus, and a completely renewed mindset around food and your body. If you're tired of the all-or-nothing cycle… if you're ready to stop starting over… and if you want to begin this year feeling stronger, calmer, and more aligned with the woman God is shaping you to be—then let's dive in. And if you'd like to connect with me or learn more, you can email me at tara@dietditching.com or come join our Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free. I'd love to walk this journey with you.

Today, I share one of the most powerful rituals I've practiced for over a decade: reflection, clearing, and letting go of the past so you don't carry old baggage into what's next. I walk you through why reflection isn't about judgment or regret, but about harvesting the good, honoring the lessons, and consciously choosing the story you carry forward. This practice has become a non-negotiable in my life and business, and I've seen it transform thousands of people in our community. When the past is complete, you're left with a clean slate and from nothing, anything becomes possible. As we close out 2025 and step into a new cycle of momentum, this episode is your invitation to reset with intention, wisdom, and gratitude. Let's do this!Access the REPLAYS to the End of Year Reflection Workshop.
