Send us a Positive Review!Series Title: What does the Family Proclamation Mean to You? [Episode II of II]This episode of Latter Day Struggles continues a two-part conversation about the LDS Church's Proclamation on the Family, examining the tension between claims of unchanging doctrine and the historical reality of doctrinal evolution.Petrey demonstrates through historical analysis that LDS teachings on gender, sexuality, marriage, and family have repeatedly changed over time—from positions on interracial marriage and the priesthood ban, to birth control prohibitions, plural marriage, conversion therapy for LGBTQ individuals, and women wearing pants. The conversation highlights how church leaders have consistently taught that their current positions were "unchanging doctrine" until those positions eventually changed, creating a pattern that contradicts claims of doctrinal fixity. Petrey offers a constructive framework for understanding doctrine as historically contingent and evolving—consistent with the LDS concept of continuing revelation—rather than eternally fixed.

Eight in ten Americans “see declining morality in society.” But claiming that morality's declining means there's a standard from which it's declining from.
02/15/2026 Rev. Paul Bang John 14:16-17 English Standard Version 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper,[a] to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be[b] in you. John 16:12-15 English Standard Version 12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
With God's Word we have an unchanging framework through which we can interpret the world.

2/8/2026 Rev. Siyoung Jung God's Unchanging Truth in an Ever-Changing World (Part 6) 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
Hope isn't wishful thinking—it's expectation rooted in where God has placed you. Discover how being positioned in Christ means you're loved exactly as Jesus is loved, and how God's unchanging nature toward you creates security that transcends your circumstances. What if the confidence you've been seeking was already secured the moment you were placed in Him?Key Scriptures:+ Joshua 1:5. "Just as I have been with Moses, so I will be with you."+ 1 John 4:17. "As He is, so are we in this world."+ Malachi 3:6. "I am the LORD, I do not change."+ Hebrews 13:8. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."Want to explore more?

02/01/2026 Rev. Paul Bang Isaiah 6:1-8 Isaiah's Vision of the Lord 6 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” 4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” Isaiah's Commission from the Lord 8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”

Erica Ligenza Gwynn discusses her book 'That's Just Not True,' which addresses the lies and half-truths that many people believe about themselves and their worth. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing these misconceptions, particularly in the context of faith and self-empowerment. She talks about anxiety, control, and the societal pressures of hustle culture, while also highlighting the significance of language and the power of affirmations. She also encourages listeners to find true freedom in God's truth and to embrace their messy stories as part of their journey.
01/24/2026 Rev. Paul Bang Ephesians 1:3-14 Spiritual Blessings in Christ 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us[a] for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known[b] to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ[c] 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth in him. 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee[d] of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it,[e] to the praise of his glory.

Paul Bang 2 Timothy 3:14-17 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Brian From reflects on how quickly life changes, the fragility of our time on earth, and the steady hope found in a God who never changes. From viral nostalgia trends to global persecution of Christians, conversations about the gospel, grace, and purpose anchor this wide-ranging Friday episode. Brian challenges listeners to live with intentionality, resist shallow substitutes for meaning, and rediscover true adventure and stability in following Christ. Trevin Wax on X: ""We are dependent. And we are workers. Yet we are workers in the hands of a mighty God, working on the mission of a mighty God with the strength of a mighty God.

1/11/2026 Rev. Jacob Kim Hebrews 4:11-13 11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. 2 Peter 1:16-21 16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son,[a] with whom I am well pleased,” 18 we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain. 19 And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Brian From reflects on the sobering honesty of Dilbert creator Scott Adams as he faces terminal cancer and wrestles publicly with faith, eternity, and the limits of Pascal’s Wager. The episode also pushes back on cultural narratives that portray parenthood as misery, arguing instead that children are a hard but profound gift that reshapes how we understand joy and purpose. Brian closes with a powerful reminder from Martin Lloyd-Jones that what the church needs most today is not novelty or politics, but absolute clarity and confidence in the gospel of Jesus Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Anchored by the Sword, I'm joined by author, podcaster, and content creator Erica Gwynn to talk about the lies we believe—often without even realizing it—and how those lies quietly shape the way we see ourselves, God, and our purpose.Erica's book, That's Just Not True: How to Replace the Lies You Didn't Know You Believed with God's Unchanging Truth, released in October, tackles 17 common lies that sound good on paper but don't actually line up with Scripture. Together, we unpack how striving, perfectionism, people-pleasing, comparison, and cultural phrases like “I can do anything” or “manifest your dream life” can slowly pull us out of true partnership with God.We talk honestly about: • Freedom as an ongoing process, not a finish line • Why limits are not failures, but part of God's design • How rejection by people can actually be redirection and protection from God • The danger of manifesting apart from surrender • What it looks like to dream with God instead of apart from HimErica also shares the Scripture that keeps her anchored in seasons of uncertainty and encourages listeners to give themselves grace—especially at the start of a new year.This conversation is for anyone who feels tired of striving, overwhelmed by comparison, or stuck believing things about themselves that God never said.Bio:Erica Ligenza Gwynn is an author, podcaster, coach, speaker, and content creator. She's the founder of Coming Up Roses, an online community rooted in the belief that while not everything in life is pretty, and every rose has its thorn, we can still honor our seasons and live in full bloom.

01/04/2026 Rev. Paul Bang Romans 1:18-20 God's Wrath on Unrighteousness 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[a] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. Romans 2:12-16 God's Judgment and the Law 12 For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. Hebrews 1:1-2 The Supremacy of God's Son 1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.
As we enter into yet another year filled with many changes and many uncertainties, this message from a sermon on Philippians 1 examines what it means to have an unchanging foundation. Using such simple examples as Paul's experience of incarceration as backdrop, this message encourages and challenges us to examine carefully what it is we are placing our trust in, and to work toward having an unchanging foundation in Christ alone, Who is the only foundation that can withstand whatever comes throughout the year.Visit us: tulsabible.org

The sermon centers on the unchanging faithfulness of God, illustrated through the Abrahamic covenant and its fulfillment in Christ, emphasizing that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone, not by law or works. Drawing from Galatians 3:15–18, it argues that God's covenant promises, once ratified, are irrevocable and unconditional, with Christ as the singular seed through whom all blessings are fulfilled. The passage dismantles the idea that the Mosaic law nullifies or supplements God's prior promise to Abraham, affirming that justification and the reception of the Spirit are rooted in divine promise, not human performance. The sermon underscores that Christmas is not merely a celebration of Christ's birth but the fulfillment of centuries-old covenantal faithfulness, where God's unchanging nature guarantees the security of His promises. Ultimately, it calls believers to rest in God's faithfulness, finding assurance not in personal merit or effort, but in the eternal, unchangeable character of God who keeps His word.
Christ did not come merely to create warm Christmas nostalgia, but to anchor our hearts to the unbreakable guarantee of a perfect eternity with our forgiving Creator.

When I visited the Gulf Coast of Florida, I got to see a couple of glorious earth turns. The sky was ablaze with color and the sun disappeared on the horizon. You say, "Excuse me, Ron, that's a sunset." Hey, wait a minute. Are you from the 14th century or something? The sun doesn't set, it doesn't move! The earth moves! As it makes its revolution, your point on earth turns away from the sun every 24 hours. So that would be an earth turn, right? And we say the sun sets. Well, the earth is turning and you can see how mankind got it wrong for so many centuries. I mean, it looks as if the sun is revolving around the earth. It revolutionized a lot of thinking when people finally understood what was revolving around what. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Changing World, Unchanging Truth." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from 2 Timothy 3:16. It says this: "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." Verse 17: "so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Now, what this is really saying is the Bible is the sun - God's unchanging, unmoving truth. Everything else has to revolve around what God's Word says. God's Word on any subject is the final word. If you read this passage, it's written in the context of a time when Paul is predicting that moral values will be in total confusion, when wrong's going to seem right, when what's right will seem wrong. Doesn't that sound familiar? It's a time when imposters and false ideas will be deceiving many people. And so God's instructions to Timothy are, "You continue in what you've learned and become convinced of what you've learned from infancy - the Holy Scriptures." In other words, you've got to stay where you are. Don't let anything make you compromise on what God's Word says. It's unsettling to see that some research indicates that only about a fourth of America's Christians are sure there's absolute truth. We're shaky on this authority issue, especially when it comes to areas that cramp our style or require us to change or go against what our group or our culture says is true today. We sometimes try to make our idea the sun, and then we try to make the Bible a planet that revolves around it. We put more weight on what is politically correct or culturally correct than what is biblically correct. In academic circles, for example, there's this subtle temptation to submit the Bible to whatever your discipline is, whether that's the current trend in sociology, or literature, or the arts, or science. Well, you've got to submit your discipline to the Bible. God's Word is the final word of origin of the universe and the origin of man. And any explanation that says God did anything other than instantly creating a fully developed adult is wrong. God's Word is the final word on divorce, on re-marriage, on sexuality, whether it's hetero or homosexuality. Or what it means to be a woman, what it means to be a man. It's the final word on justice, on wealth, on sex, on the value of an unborn life. No mental contortions can neutralize God's authoritative Word on the subject. You do no one a favor by trying to make God's Word more acceptable by diluting what it says. We stand on this book, and I hope every day as we're together this book becomes more practical and more living in your life. The planets in our world are in chaos as human wisdoms are confusing, they're colliding. But God gave us this brilliant sun, one settled, unmoving, always true authority to keep the planets in the orbits they belong in - the Word of Almighty God, the Bible. People came out of the dark ages when they realized that the sun did not revolve around them. We come out of the darkness when we realize and we never compromise the final centrality of the Bible in our personal universe, and when we put the planets of all those other ideas where they belong - in orbit around the sun of the Word of God.

Tucker Carlson's interview with Nick Fuentes exposed more than a media dust-up—it showcased a toxic blend of relativism, ethno-nationalism, and Holocaust denial dressed in Christian language. Kevin and Bill walk through Fuentes' praise for Stalin, the minimizing of Nazi atrocities, and the chilling parallels to abortion as a modern holocaust. The conclusion is blunt: race won't save anyone; only Christ crucified offers mercy to red, yellow, black, and white.
A new MP3 sermon from Generations Radio is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Unhinged Times, Unchanging Law – Nick Fuentes, Tucker, and the Sixth Commandment Speaker: Kevin Swanson Broadcaster: Generations Radio Event: Radio Broadcast Date: 11/20/2025 Length: 38 min.

He just has to start the process by dealing heavily with our sin—something that really puts it to death. But this will produce spiritual life if we respond with repentance and faith.
