Podcasts about truth in love

Can you really experience love without truth, or truth without love? God's design is that the two always go together. In Truth in Love, Pastor Mike O'Connell takes us through 2 John to reveal how love and truth are inseparable parts of His perfect plan for our lives. When one is missing, we fall short of the fullness God intends for us. This week, focus on living with both truth and love so you can experience God's best for your life.

We explore the importance of regular spiritual self-examination and biblical literacy as foundations for discernment in a world full of deception. Our daily habits reveal our true priorities, challenging us to align our actions with our professed values of faith and family.• Taking time for a daily spiritual "audit" of how we spend our time and energy• Reading scripture daily as protection against deception and cultural manipulation• Understanding Ephesians 4 on unity in the body of Christ and spiritual maturity• Speaking truth in love, even when it requires difficult conversations• Recognizing America's historical purpose as "a city on a hill" pointing to Christ• Medal of Honor recipient James Bell and his service during the Indian Campaigns• John Adams' vision for America as a light to other nationsIf you're looking for clean reading material for children or grandchildren similar to The Hobbit or Narnia, check out my Countryside series available on Amazon.

Today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson is a carefully crafted full-on rant about two awful cultural failures, Donald Trump and Taylor Swift. Both, in their own ways, are failing the next generation and pushing the normalization of pedophilia. Trump refuses to release the Epstein list or hold powerful pedophiles accountable. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift flaunts her naked body on her album cover marketed to an audience that includes young girls who are already being tempted by a society pushing them toward OnlyFans. Feminism has clearly failed. We need to bring back the biblical patriarchy, AKA Christianity.At some point, we have to stop asking why is all of this happening and start living biblically individually, in our families, and as a society. For the sake of our own wellbeing and (far more importantly) the protection of our children. If we can't even agree to safeguard their innocence, what are we doing? Why aren't we protecting the children?--https://bakerbookhouse.com/featured/the-brand-sunday

In this episode, we sit down with Christian apologist Dr. Frank Turek to talk about what it means to represent Christ with both courage and compassion. How can we be fearless in the face of cultural pushback, forthright in speaking truth without compromise, and yet genuinely personable so people feel heard and respected? Frank unpacks practical insights from years of engaging skeptics and training believers, helping us learn how to share our faith with both clarity and kindness. Dr. Frank Turek is a dynamic speaker, author, and Christian apologist best known for his book I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist. He is the president of CrossExamined.org, a ministry that equips Christians to defend their faith with confidence and clarity. Frank hosts the I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist TV show and podcast, and he frequently speaks at universities, churches, and conferences around the world. With a background as a former aviator in the U.S. Navy and a doctorate in apologetics, Frank combines sharp reasoning with an engaging, personable style that challenges skeptics and strengthens believers.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're addressing the troubling reality of the Epstein list and Donald Trump's failure to bring it to light, holding it up to the standard of biblical justice. God's Word commands that evil be exposed, not hidden in the darkness. I also take time to answer a variety of questions from you, my beloved audience.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Today on the show, I am starting a new series titled "Speaking the Truth in Love." This series is inspired by a set of short videos featuring Jim Daly, the president of Focus on the Family, and Dr. Rosaria Butterfield. In this series, I will explore what it means to stand firm on the truth of God's Word while also embodying grace, mercy, and compassion. I encourage you to listen and then strive to be the hands and feet of Jesus in your own community!

society has hijacked love and it's called compromise deception. to society love means I have to affirm everything about you including what is detrimental and ungodly. if I don't affirm it and support it, then I am a loving. but God's word is true we're living in a time where we're going to call good evil and evil good and men prefer darkness rather than light because they're deeds are evil. if I truly love you I will sacrifice my life in truth and allow you to kill me so that what you may hear they set you free. when we compromise truth for a so-called deceptive kindness we hurt the people we love even more. I'd rather for you to hate me today and I see you in eternity then you hate me because I compromised the truth that will set you free.https://youtu.be/dsKVIjgW40M?si=PsksOqpDmU5TcE63

Send us a textWhat does holy love really look like when it gets personal? In this message, we explore Leviticus 19:15-18, a passage that calls us to live with fairness, truth, and courage. This sermon reminds us that God's love doesn't play favorites, turn a blind eye, or hold grudges. It confronts sin and clings to righteousness.Through a powerful combination of biblical insight and real-life application, we unpack what it means to love our neighbor as ourselves--not with shallow niceness, but with deep, resilient, and justice-shaped love.Whether you're navigating strained relationships, wrestling with how to speak the truth in love, or wondering what holiness looks like in a fractured world--this episode is for you.Other Episodes in this series:Leftover & Left BehindHonesty & HospitalityLove & LoyaltySin & Slavery (coming August 11)Foreign & Friend (coming August 18)Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

At Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, our senior pastor Rev. Craig Bailey continued his look at what it means to be "uncompromising." As we as devoted disciples seek to be more like Christ, we must speak the truth in love.

Because Truth matters and God is a God of Truth, we who belong to Him must always speak the truth in love both to and about our neighbors for Christ's sake. I. God Commanded His Covenant People to Never Lie About Others Ex 20:16 II. God's People Must be Committed to Always Speak the Truth To and About Others Ex 4:25 III. Jesus Calls us to Use Our Words to Build Others Up, Not to Tear Them Down Eph 4:29

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we are joined with Juliette Bryant, a courageous survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's vile sex trafficking operation. Lured by the promise of a modeling career, Juliette was instead ensnared in a web of calculated evil. She was abused, exploited, and flown to Epstein's private island where countless others suffered the same fate.This is more than a scandal. It is a moral reckoning. And yet, the full, unredacted Epstein list, containing the names of powerful men who enabled or participated in this wickedness, remains sealed. Why is that?Donald Trump promised the American people he would release it. Now, he mocks those demanding it, calling us “bad people” and “weaklings.” Well, it's actually bad and weak to fail to release the Epstein list, Mr. President. But we will not be intimidated. The righteous are commanded to expose darkness, not negotiate with it. Trump's evasiveness increasingly resembles guilt. It's certainly not strong leadership.We will not be silenced. Not by politicians, not by media, and not by fear. We demand the truth.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoq6zS6i2LVAaJq4sRAuJqL9WZWgV03ccH9c4dufm2XMD0ozmV5S

Sermon Title: The Truth In Love (COOL Summer) Pastor Rick Nieves | COOL Church   CREATED OUT OF LOVE

By Brian McGuire - Loving, truthful words have the power to teach, edify, exhort, and comfort others.

In this episode of The Frontline with Nathan Pierce, we explore what it means to speak the truth in love amidst cultural confusion and legislative pressure. Drawing from Ephesians 4:15 and other key Scriptures, Nathan lays the foundation for biblically grounded advocacy—bold, compassionate, and unwavering. Nathan explores why truth without love can be damaging, while love without truth can be deceptive, drawing on Jesus' example of perfectly balancing both. In a California legislative update, AB 727 has progressed in the State Senate. Although private homeschools are no longer impacted, the bill continues to pose a threat to Christian colleges and public schools. You can learn more about its current status, why it remains a concern, and how you can respond through prayer and action. Additionally, he warns about new legislation in New Jersey that aims to impose state-controlled curriculum standards on homeschoolers. This effort has deceptive origins, linked to a misleading national headline, and it's important to understand what is truly at stake. Finally, "Prayer Focus" outlines how you can intercede for homeschool freedom in California, New Jersey, and nationwide.

An important aspect to pursuing and achieving reconciliation and restoration in conflict with others is, speaking the truth in love (Eph. 4:15). For our words have profound consequences, and only God can truly change hearts.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're hitting a hot topic: America jumping into the Israel-Iran war. And I'm just going to say it—I don't think we should've gotten involved. I've supported Donald Trump for years, but I think he got this wrong.Israel just said they didn't need us. This was their fight. Then suddenly, we're bombing a nuclear site and opening doors that didn't need to be opened. And of course, anyone who questions it gets labeled a “panican.” But guess what? The “panicans” are starting to look more and more like prophets, because now, sleeper cells are stirring, and American churches are already under attack.We don't need to be scared, we need to be wise. The Bible calls us to test the spirits, stay watchful, and seek peace when we can. (1 John 4:1, Romans 12:18). So let's talk about it honestly. Because loving your country (and even loving your favorite president) doesn't mean checking your discernment at the door and always being a yes-man.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, we're talking about Tucker Carlson's highly discussed interview with Senator Ted Cruz. I'll be sharing my honest thoughts on how it went, why I think Tucker came out ahead, and what this kind of bold, unscripted, and unapologetically frank conversation means for the future of political discourse (spoiler: I'm all for it).We'll go into why I support constructive confrontation—yes, even when it gets "mean" and uncomfortable. The Founding Fathers didn't tiptoe around the truth, so why should we? They debated passionately because the stakes were high. The polite punditry act is wearing thin, and people are tired of political puppets mouthing safe lines. They're craving what we saw here: real conviction, real disagreement, and real questions.We'll cover why I believe Tucker won this exchange: from his biblical literacy to his serious concerns about foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC having a hand in U.S. policy. Ted got visibly nervous when pressed about Scripture, about Israel, and about U.S. involvement in a possible war with Iran. And the question still lingers: Why are we only now suddenly being pushed to act, when Trump was reportedly targeted by Iran two years ago?Most importantly, we'll reflect on Tucker's question—a theological one with deep political ramifications: Who is the real Israel according to God? Is it the modern state that does not believe Jesus is Lord and historically has required a denial of Christ for Jewish returnees? Or is it the true church—those who belong to Christ?I'll share my belief unapologetically: Israel is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. Not those who reject Him. Not those who crucified Him. That's a hard truth, but a necessary one in these last days when clarity very much matters.Faith shouldn't be a popularity contest.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOorwAVEYslTlOGA-36_bHHjruNDOebEKWQ6M2115NZZwL8WG_ali

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I explain why I've shifted to a neutral stance on the Israel-Iran conflict. While mainstream media pressures us to “pick a side,” Scripture tells a deeper story, one that's not bound by modern borders or politics.Christians are the true Israel, not by race or nation, but by faith in Christ. The Church is the chosen people of God, not a geopolitical state. So why are we being told that standing with the a government equals standing with God?We'll unpack the phrase “Judeo-Christian”—what it really means (and what it doesn't)—and discuss how religiously manipulative narratives can cloud our judgment. Supporting everything any group does (whether Jewish, Christian, or Muslim) is not biblical discernment. It's idolatry.None of us are perfect. Not every Christian represents Christ well, and not every Jew or Muslim represents their faith's ideals either. So let's step back, seek the truth, and refuse to be emotionally blackmailed into blind allegiance.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

As a follower of Jesus, do you find yourself leaning more towards grace or truth? The Bible says we should be striving for a balance of both. What happens when we don't? Paul addresses this in his letter the the Corinthians in chapter 5: 1-13. Part of maturing as a believer is addressing sin with both grace and truth!

Co-Hosts: Steve Macchia and Matt Scott “If we could practice listening first before speaking, how different our words would be and how different our relationships would be.” — Steve Macchia  Humbly receiving the preached Word of God is one means of speaking and hearing the Truth in love. But what does this look like within the context of our relationships? How do we humbly and gratefully accept reproach and admonition from others? This conversation offers wisdom and practical steps around what it looks like for us to both speak and hear the truth in love.

Discover why preaching with boldness is essential for spiritual growth

In a world where “love” is often redefined by culture, how can Christian parents teach their daughters to love others while remaining anchored to God's unchanging truth? This week on the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa tackle one of the most pressing and sensitive conversations facing families today—how to love without compromise during LGBTQ Pride Month and beyond.  Our girls are growing up in an age of loud messages about identity, sexuality, and affirmation—many of which directly contradict the Biblical Worldview. Whether they hear it in school, see it on social media, or experience it within their own friend groups, they're being asked to choose between “truth” and “love”. But what if they don't have to? What if, instead, we taught them how to walk in both—just like Jesus did?  This episode features insights from AHG Founder and Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay, who reminds us that Jesus never separated love from truth. With a Biblical lens from Matthew 5:17 and John 1:14, Rachael and Melissa reflect on the importance of helping our daughters see people first, speak the truth boldly, and love others deeply without affirming sin. They also share personal stories—from late-night questions to identity confusion in the tween years—and offer encouragement for parents navigating similar seasons.  You'll walk away with practical tools to help your girl understand that true love is not silent in the face of sin, nor is it unkind in the name of righteousness. Instead, Biblical love rejoices in the truth and points others to the hope and freedom found in Christ.  Whether you're having a conversation around the dinner table or sitting fireside at AHG camp, this episode will equip you to disciple your daughter with clarity, compassion, and confidence.  Subscribe now and join the Raising Godly Girls community as we raise daughters who reflect Christ's love—full of grace and truth.  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org        Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

Pride Month is evil, and we must call it what it is. In this episode, we're discussing the spiritual implications of Pride Month, asking hard questions about what it represents—and how believers should respond. We're drawing the connection between pride, identity, and rebellion against God's design for human flourishing.Many Christians feel spiritually drained during this month, and we should. I'm challenging my listeners to love the LGBTQ+ community not with silence or compromise (and certainly not with support) but with truth—the truth that God offers forgiveness, transformation, and eternal life to all who repent and follow Christ.We must hate sin while praying for our enemies. Our culture desperately needs more holiness, conviction, and compassion rooted in the gospel, which is telling those around us the truth.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqBR_MWE2-fkYXYHCn80nZtEct4ixmRGrXZSrgIn5HP_tBc9Mcy

Today, we're discussing the recent passing of Pope Francis. As a Protestant, I don't hold to Catholic doctrine, and I've had some serious theological issues with the papacy—but that doesn't mean I won't stop to reflect when someone steps into eternity.In this episode, I'm praying for Pope Francis' soul and hoping he had a deathbed conversion—because no one is beyond God's reach. I also hope Catholics choose a biblical pope next time, not one more interested in pleasing the world than honoring the Word.We'll talk about the things he did right—his care for the poor and moments of humility. But we'll also look at the dangerous things he got wrong:Promoting open borders that have devastated countries and erased traditionSaying all religions worship the same God (they don't)Claiming the human heart is good (the Bible says it's deceitful above all things)Ignoring original sin and the fallen nature of manThis is a respectful but honest take on a figure who meant a lot to many—but who, like all of us, needed Christ above all.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/

Ever ignored a red flag

Today, we're discussing the tragic murder of Austin Metcalf — a case that's not just heartbreaking but deeply revealing of a larger cultural crisis we need to address head-on. I'll be sharing my raw thoughts on what happened, and more importantly, having the uncomfortable (but necessary) conversation surrounding crime statistics in the black community.If we're ever going to see real change — fewer senseless killings, safer neighborhoods, and stronger families — then we have to stop tiptoeing around the truth. It's time to talk about why these patterns keep repeating and what cultural shifts must happen to break the toxic and deadly cycle.This isn't about hate — it's about accountability, truth, and the fight for life, stability, and genuine justice.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmLTSF8TidU6uJpGkHMYzxsnd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqcO_BhDaARIsACz62vPh4GA_6w_PdX8w4PW0sRhPD76KOyhYBmiEOdpiLXHP1G10c9kaPMEaAkK-EALw_wcB

Pastor Henry Tam. Ephesians 4:14-15

The nuclear family is the backbone of a strong society—without it, we will crumble. In this episode, we're talking about Elon Musk's latest love child with Ashley St. Clair and why Conservatives cannot fall into the trap of normalizing single motherhood and reckless men who create broken families. Strong individuals come from strong families. When the family unit collapses, people become weak, directionless, and ultimately easier for the government to exploit. The more broken the home, the more dependent the individual. And guess who loves that? The people in power who want control over your life. So, we are talking biblical gender roles, marriage, family, and why morals will always matter—even if they stop mattering to everyone else. A father's leadership and a mother's nurturing aren't interchangeable, and no amount of modern delusion will change that. Children need both a mother and a father in the home. And no, morals don't change for you once you're rich. Wh*re culture needs to die because the next generation is at stake.--https://policecoffee.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooc599VmOCGa3oE2DnVcJ4uLA69XDoBZf8ChiOpFqVfKc_BASiR
