Episode 42: “God is…”

What makes up an authentic faith? When everything is stripped down to the basic foundation of things, what does God-honoring faith really look like? Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he reflects on four passages where God’s essence is explicitly described. Because, at the end of the day, an authentic faith will reflect the character and essence of God. Not perfectly, but persistently. You don’t want to miss this episode!

Episode 41: “It’s Old, It’s New, It’s Love”

Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he continues evaluating the marks of an authentic Christian faith found in the book of 1 John. Looking at love in 1 John 2:7-11, this episode explains why love is such an important and necessary indicator of a real, genuine faith. Tune in for some encouragement, challenges, and maybe even a laugh or two.

Episode 40: “Blessing over Burden”

“By this, we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.” Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he works through 1 John 2:1-6 and its implications for an authentic faith. Does the confession of our mouths match the confession of our hearts? John clearly tells us in this passage that an authentic faith will obey God’s commands. We won’t be perfect, but we should see progress. Remember, obeying God is not a burden of points to check off our lists; rather, obeying God is a blessing that comes from knowing how much Jesus loved us by taking care of the condemnation for our sin.

Episode 39: “Bad Grammar, Beautiful Theology”

“God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.” The last four words of this sentence may be bad grammar, but it’s beautiful theology. Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks 1 John 1:5-10 and works through the real battle between darkness and light in the hearts of Christians. Tune in as this passage gives much needed help in leaving the darkness behind and dwelling in the light of Christ; because the truth is, if you’re walking in darkness, you aren’t walking with Jesus.

Episode 38: “It’s All About Jesus”

What does an authentic faith look like? To rightly answer this question, we need to look at its foundation. Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he begins a new series in the book of 1 John. From the beginning, we see that an authentic faith must rest on the cornerstone of the real Jesus Christ; and 1 John 1:1-4 gives us a great place to start. You won’t want to miss this episode!
