Descripción

How could a loving God send someone to hell? You'll discover that Jesus spoke more about hell than anyone else in Scripture, and through the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, you'll gain insight into what hell actually is—a place of eternal separation and identity destruction. You can expect to understand that God doesn't send people to hell; rather, He honors the choices we make in this life, while His heart remains that not one person would be destroyed. Most importantly, you'll be reminded that God is patiently waiting, and all of heaven celebrates when even one more person comes to faith in Christ.

No Other Gods | JJ Mannschreck

Why do we keep slipping back into old habits we hate, even after God has set us free? You'll discover how the Ten Commandments aren't restrictions but God's compassionate guide for living in true freedom after trauma and slavery. Through the story of Israel's exodus from Egypt, you can expect to understand how loving God first is the key to breaking free from whatever "Egypt" still has a grip on your life. You'll learn to identify the modern idols competing for your worship and find courage to step boldly into the new identity God has for you.

1st Love | Joshua Holtrop

Do you remember the passion and excitement you felt when you first encountered Jesus—and wonder where it went? You'll discover how easy it is to drift from that first love while still doing all the right things, and why serving God out of obligation rather than devotion leaves us empty. Through the warning Jesus gave to the church in Ephesus, you can expect to learn the practical steps to reignite your love for God and return to the works you did at first—not out of duty, but out of genuine passion for Him.

Are We Living in the End Times? | JJ Mannschreck

Are you worried about the end of the world, or do you know someone who is? You'll discover why Jesus didn't give us a date for His return, but instead gave us something far more important—a way to live today with purpose and urgency. You can expect to learn how to become a "Christian doomsday prepper" by drawing closer to God and loving your neighbor well, rather than obsessing over timelines and predictions. This will challenge you to stop waiting for tomorrow and start living as if today is your last chance to love God and serve others.

If Jesus Promises Peace, WHY Am I So Anxious? | JJ Mannschreck

If Jesus promises peace, why do you still feel so anxious? You'll discover how anxiety is directly linked to remembering God's power and presence in your life, and why even faithful people struggle to trust Him in stressful moments. Through the story of Jesus comforting His anxious disciples before His death, you'll learn practical ways to train your eyes to see God's work around you and find genuine peace. You can expect to walk away with tangible challenges—both physical and spiritual—to help you remember who God is and whose you are when worry threatens to overwhelm you.

episode Why Does God Care Who I Sleep With? | JJ Mannschreck artwork

Why Does God Care Who I Sleep With? | JJ Mannschreck

Why does God care who you sleep with—and what does your sexuality have to do with your value? You'll discover that God's design for sex isn't about restricting you, but about elevating you to live as the holy, redeemed person He created you to be. You can expect honest teaching about how sexual brokenness affects us all, why surrendering your desires to Jesus leads to wholeness, and how God meets you exactly where you are with compassion and redemption. No matter your story—single, grieving, wounded, or wrestling with unwanted desires—you'll find that Jesus knows your struggle intimately and offers a more excellent way.
