Parent of a Prodigal (Part 1): What’s Really Going On? | Episode 44

King David: A Man After God's Heart... But Not Perfect | Season 2 Ep. 1

Welcome to Season 2 of Chasing Assurance! In this opening episode, Terry Peer and Dr. Terry L. Peer begin an in-depth study of one of the Bible's most fascinating figures: King David. David is known as "a man after God's own heart," yet his life was filled with failures, mistakes, heartbreak, and personal struggles. How can someone so flawed receive such an incredible description from God? In this episode we explore: - Why David was chosen over Saul - What "a man after God's own heart" really means - The difference between David and Saul - David's early life and calling - Why God's purpose is bigger than any one person - The connection between David and Jesus You'll also hear an inspiring Lester's Feet Foundation story about a family's mortgage being paid off during a battle with cancer. This episode reminds us that God does not require perfection—He desires a heart that seeks Him.

What If Christians Actually Loved Like This? Chasing Assurance #52 Season 1 Finale

As we close out Season 1 of the Chasing Assurance Podcast, we finish our study on one of the most important subjects in all of Scripture—love. In this episode, Dr. Terry L. Peer takes us deep into 1 Corinthians 13 and explains why biblical love (agape) is far more than emotion, sentiment, or feelings. True Christian love is demonstrated through patience, kindness, sacrifice, forgiveness, obedience, and action. We also look ahead to Season 2, where we'll begin an exciting journey through the life of King David—one of the most fascinating and relatable figures in all of Scripture. Thank you for joining us through the first 52 episodes of Chasing Assurance. Key Scripture: "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.

What Is REAL Biblical Love? (It's Not What Most People Think) | Chasing Assurance Ep. 51

What does the Bible really mean when it talks about love? Study Guide: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/x2xfzne0jedpicptyb1rp/Study-Guide-Chasing-Assurance-51.pdf?rlkey=mrzi1pifhks48lnk13srhcwjm&dl=0 In Episode 51 of Chasing Assurance, Terry and Dr. Terry Peer begin a two-part series exploring one of the most misunderstood words in our culture—love. Most people think love is an emotion, a feeling, or simply affection. But Scripture presents something much deeper. In this episode, Dr. Peer explains the different Greek words for love and focuses on "agape"—the selfless, sacrificial love that stands at the very center of Christianity. You'll discover: • The four Greek words for love • Why agape love is different from emotion • The greatest commandment according to Jesus • How truth and love work together • Why Christianity demands more than feelings • The danger of being all truth with no love—or all love with no truth Plus, Terry shares an encouraging Lester's Feet Foundation update and an exciting announcement regarding Dr. Terry Peer and Louisville Bible College. 📖 Key Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:13 "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
