When God Doesn't Heal

Last episode I shared a story about how I got to see God do a miracle in the life of my friend Sidney. It's always amazing when God heals! But what about the times that God doesn't heal? I've had plenty of those too. This episode explores how our faith can increase even in the midst of major disappointment.

Three Books Every Believer Should Read

I'm often asked about books that I recommend about finding your identity in Christ. I give you my favorite three in this podcast. In fact I like them all so much that I read them each annually! One thing that I didn't say in this podcast that goes without saying, but I'll write it anyway, is that obviously the #1 book would be the Bible. Ok, it's been said :) Enjoy!

Why the Theory of Evolution is Destroying the Morals of Society

You may think the title of this is dramatic, but I don't think it's wrong.  Once you remove the Creator from creation, we see all kind of things go wrong. Today we explore the bigger problem with evolutionary theory, that goes beyond the simple argument that it doesn't line up with the word of God.
