Podcasts about your faith

It seems like every few weeks, another Christian leader falls—and many believers are left confused, discouraged, or even mocked for their faith.In this episode of Behind the Mike Podcast, Mike & Joshua Stone slow the conversation down and ask a deeper question: Why does this keep happening—and what does it reveal about where our faith is anchored?This is not a reaction video.This is not about piling on fallen leaders.And this is not about abandoning Christianity.Instead, we talk honestly about:• Why gifting is not the same as godliness• Why public platforms often hide private struggles• Why Christian celebrity culture is leaving people spiritually disoriented• And how to build a faith that survives disappointment, hypocrisy, and failureIf recent stories have left you wondering whether Christianity itself can be trusted—or if your faith feels shaken by the failures of others—this conversation is for you.Christianity was never built on impressive people.It was built on an unchanging Savior.Chapters:00:00 – Why So Many Christian Leaders Are FallingThe exhaustion, grief, and questions believers are feeling right now00:26 – Is It Okay to Feel Shaken in Your Faith?Why doubt after scandal doesn't mean weak faith00:50 – The Real Problem Behind Church ScandalsWhat we build our faith on before leaders fall01:17 – A College Student's Perspective on Church HypocrisyWhy this generation sees things differently01:55 – When Christian Failures Go PublicWhy repeated scandals damage trust and fuel mockery02:49 – The Stage Is Not the SoulPublic ministry vs. private faithfulness03:38 – When a Pastor Falls, People Lose Their FaithWhy many believers were never taught where faith belongs04:48 – Mentors vs. Messiahs in ChristianityWhy following people too closely can wreck faith06:04 – Why God's Word Will Never Fail YouScripture vs. celebrity Christianity07:16 – A Bible College Story That Changed EverythingWhen powerful preaching didn't match real-life character08:43 – How Christian Hypocrisy Hurts the Church's WitnessWhat unbelievers actually see when Christians fail09:32 – Spiritual Talk vs. Spiritual MaturityWhy holiness shows up under pressure, not on stage10:28 – What Young Christians Are Really Seeing TodayFaith, stress, and everyday behavior outside church11:47 – Why Putting Faith in People Always FailsEven well-meaning leaders will let you down12:55 – How Leaders Drift Before Moral FailureIsolation, secrecy, and success without accountability13:39 – Why Accountability Matters in the Christian LifeFaith was never meant to be lived alone14:53 – How Christians Should Respond When Leaders FallTruth, humility, and refusing to panic15:48 – Christianity Doesn't Collapse When Leaders FailWhy Jesus—not pastors—is the foundation16:18 – Where Your Faith Must Be AnchoredWhy CSend us a textSupport the showWatch these podcasts on YouTube!Follow Us!YouTube: @behindthemikepodcastInstagram: @behindthemikepodcastTikTok: @behind_the_mike_podcastFacebook: @behindthemikepodcast

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/2-Peter-1_5-8-A-Proposed-New-Year-Add-to-Your-Faith.mp3 A new year invites sober reflection. Scripture does not permit spiritual stagnation—God calls His people to real growth in holiness. Are you walking with the Lord as closely as you once did, or have you noticed yourself becoming less watchful, less tender, less godly? It's time to stop the drift. In this message, Pastor Matt reminds believers that sanctification is not optional, and from 2 Peter 1:5–8 draws three anchors for the Christian life: the effort required, the essential qualities to pursue, and the promised end reward.

What happens when building your dream home nearly breaks your marriage? In today's episode, I'm sharing a raw, honest story from my own life—a season when stress, exhaustion, and unmet expectations left me wondering if my relationship with my husband would survive. But through that struggle, I learned a powerful truth: when we try to manage everything in our own strength, we end up drained and discouraged. The good news? God is the ultimate builder and the best general contractor for your home and family. This is the fourth episode in the Blueprints for Building Your Spiritual Dream Home series. So far, we've seen why we need a blueprint, discovered the best location and created a vision for our dream home. Today we're going to talk about why God needs to be the builder of your spiritual dream home, and how surrendering control to Him changes everything.

This Sunday, guest speaker Milton Jones wraps up our series with part 4 of ‘Your Faith, Their Hope.' He challenges us to make a lasting global impact through faith and service—transforming lives around the world through the work of the Christian Relief Fund.

Christianity is not only about what we believe, but also about how we behave. If we are truly followers of Christ, we should live out our faith in a way that glorifies Him. In the second half of Ephesians, Paul instructs us how to figuratively “walk out our faith.” Five times in Ephesians 4–5, Paul tells us specific ways to walk as followers of Christ. Pastor Gary discusses these five ways in today's teaching entitled, “Putting Feet to Your Faith.”

In this message from Sun City Church, Your Faith is a Seed, we explore how even the smallest step of faith can move the heart of God and unlock miracles in our lives. Discover how planting your faith in God's power leads to a harvest that impacts your life, your city, and the nations.

In this episode, Chad and Robert challenge the modern view of church as a place you attend rather than a mission you live. They unpack what it really means to be the Church, a Spirit-empowered movement of people on mission with Jesus, and how we can step into that mission. Subscribe to receive our latest videos!Website: https://www.sunvalleycc.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sunvalleycc/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunvalleycc/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sunvalleyccTo support Sun Valley and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://www.sunvalleycc.com/givingGod loves you no matter who you are, what you've done, or what's been done to you.

This Sunday, Pastor Curtis continues in our new series with Part 3 of Your Faith, Their Hope — “The Common Man.” In this message, we're reminded that as we go through life, our everyday faith has the power to bring hope to the world around us. Even the “common man” is called to shine brightly, make disciples, and reflect Christ in all we do.

On This Week at Charlestown Road, Jason and Roger revisit Sunday morning's sermon, “The Fall of Your Faith,” diving deeper into this powerful Old Testament phrase: “Caleb fully followed the LORD.” What about us? What will that look like today?

Faith works by love! This is one of the larger concepts that Pastor Mac talked about in the third message in his series entitled, “The Fight for Your Faith.” Galatians 5:6 tells us that faith works by love, so that means the relationships we cultivate are going to represent channels of ministry through which God can use you to bless others. However, in order for those relationships to work, they must be founded on the love of God. Furthermore, love is not a feeling. It is an act. This is the kind of love that God says will make your faith work. Our Links–• Join The Prayer Movement!: https://theprayermovement.com• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingwordmn• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/livingwordmn• Stay up to date with all things LWCC at https://www.LWCC.org• Join our Online Church community here: https://www.lwcc.org/onlinechurch• Give online: https://www.lwcc.org/give/• If you recently committed your life to God, we'd like to give you a free eBook to help you in your spiritual journey.

Pastor Mac continued his series, “The Fight for Your Faith,” reminding us that before we can believe for healing, provision, or breakthrough, we must first fight to believe what God says about who we are.We're citizens of heaven, called to seek His Kingdom, and the righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Mac began a new four-part series entitled, “The Fight for Your Faith.” His message was based upon 1st Timothy 6:12, “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life…” It's the goal of every believer to “lay hold on eternal life.” Eternal life is the God kind of life. And here's the great news! You don't have to wait until you get into heaven to experience it. You can have it right now on this earth by fighting the good fight of faith. Pastor Mac says, “That means your faith has the capacity to appropriate a quality of life that would otherwise escape you.” So if you're fighting the good fight of faith in order to lay hold on eternal life, you need to know your faith is not valueless.

  Guest: Karol Ladd, author, speaker, and involved grandparent - check out Karol's latest blog articles on the power of positive grandparenting   If you'd like to watch this podcast, check out the PCA YouTube page.   The world tells grandparents one of two untruths…first, that because they are older, they are insignificant; and second, now is their time to retire and take care of their own needs and desires. The Bible paints a much different picture for grandparents. Proverbs 16:31 says, “Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life.” That “crown of glory” is to be respected and honored and the wisdom that comes with age should be considered valuable. This proper perspective or grandparenting is shared in Dr. Josh Mulvihill's outstanding book titled Grand Parenting: Strengthening Your Family and Passing on Your Faith, which is one of the eight books in the Grandparenting Matters series.   Last week was Grandparents Day for the PCA North campus, and this Friday, September 19th is Grandparents Day for the Plano campus. We hope that all grandparents are able to attend and we want to get connected with each grandparent who wants to be equipped to be a strong spiritual influence in their family and the community!

Spiritual conditioning in faith puts you in position to receive at championship level. You have greatness on the inside of you, but you must stir it up.

This summer, we're taking a short break from our regular podcast format, and instead have selected various installments from past message series given by James Emery White at Mecklenburg Community Church where he serves as the Senior Pastor. While topics related to marriage have been the focus of previous Church & Culture podcast episodes, we've never engaged this particular aspect of marriage before in our discussions. This installment titled "Marrying Outside of Your Faith" was a part of a series called "Don't Do Stupid: Marriage Edition." Because the Bible is incredibly clear about what happens when a couple is unequally yoked. Episode Links Below you'll find the link to the full series if that's something you are interested in checking out, along with the sources that were used in the development of the message itself: "Don't Do Stupid: Marriage Edition" James Emery White, Christianity for People Who Aren't Christians: Uncommon Answers to Common Questions, order on Amazon.

Whoever loves money never has enough. Whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. Those words of wisdom came from Solomon, in Ecclesiastes chapter five verse ten. Today, Ron explains how the love of money can wreak havoc in our relationship with God. It's the final installment of his teaching series, “His Money, Your Faith,” and it comes your way next.  

Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. In just a few moments, Ron continues his series, “His Money, Your Faith,” by asking a simple, yet profound question, where is your heart. You'll find it by looking at where your treasure is.  

Today, Ron takes us to the all-too-familiar problem of consumer debt. Many people struggle to make ends meet, and part of the problem is they've made a bad choice or two along the way. How can you get debt free? What is God's plan for your finances? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “His Money, Your Faith.”  

When you look at your bank account, it may seem like you can't afford to tithe. The truth is, you can't afford not to. Today, Ron continues his series, “His Money, Your Faith” by giving us an in-depth look at God's financial plan, what Ron calls the ten-ten-eighty plan. It's biblical, it's practical, and it's essential for your financial health and your spiritual health. 

Luke 8:22-25 — When a Christian thinks all things seem against them, and they're blinded by despair, they are called to have faith in Jesus Christ. Often, the storms of life lead to feelings of hopelessness. A person is scared and believes they are lost, not knowing if they can survive this next storm. They may even be afraid that God does not care. In this sermon, "Where is Your Faith?" from Luke 8:22–25, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones continues to tackle this issue of spiritual depression through an examination of the disciples' own fear. As a storm at sea threatens their lives, Jesus rebukes first the storm, and then the disciples––they lack faith. The lesson is simple: Christians should never live in a state of terror. Yet, too often, they do. Today's Christian's problem is no different than these disciples' as they question Jesus's commitment to them. The call is the same. Christians must not question God's goodness, but trust Him. They must have full confidence in Jesus. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains the nature and character of faith. Faith is not an automatic response in the believer, but something one must exercise. Does Jesus care about His people? Yes, He does. He will always receive them, bless them, and give them peace. Trust the God who calms the storm.
