Why Worldview Matters for the Christian Life

Everyone has a worldview, whether they realize it or not. The real question is whether that worldview is shaped by God's Word or by the culture around us. In this episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins explains why worldview matters for the Christian life. A worldview shapes how we understand truth, identity, morality, suffering, sin, obedience, and discipleship. God's Word calls Christians not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of the mind. This episode also explains the biblical framework of creation, fall, redemption, and consummation, showing why Christians must remain grounded in God's Word, committed to the local church, and steady in Christ in a confused age.

The Cost of Faithfulness: Why Christ Is Worth Everything

Faithfulness to Christ often comes with a cost. In this episode, Dave Jenkins examines 2 Timothy 3:12 and explains why believers should not be surprised when obedience to Christ brings opposition, misunderstanding, or pressure to compromise. Concluding the June series on biblical sexuality and identity, this episode encourages Christians to stand firm on the truth of God's Word. Believers are reminded that endurance comes from Christ, faithfulness requires courage and compassion, and the hope of the gospel makes every sacrifice worthwhile. As followers of Christ, we are called to live with clarity, humility, and conviction while fixing our eyes on Jesus, who is worth it all.

Identity, Desire, and the Hope of the Gospel

In this episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins explains why Scripture teaches that our identity is not found in our desires but in our union with Christ. Addressing the realities of temptation, indwelling sin, and cultural confusion surrounding identity, Dave shows how the gospel provides a secure foundation that does not shift with feelings, experiences, or circumstances. Drawing from Galatians 2:20, Romans 7, James 1, and Colossians 3, Dave explains why Christians do not discover their identity by looking inward but receive their identity through Christ.
