As Christians, we’d never want to do anything to dishonor our savior. Yet, the Bible says there is one thing that “tramples underfoot the son of God.” Pastor Mike Fabarez explains how we can crush the grace of Christ… when we fail to take sin seriously.

Why does parenting teens today feel harder than ever before? In this episode, Mark shares a devotional about raising teens in a culture that often pulls them away from truth, connection and stability. From anxiety and social pressure to screens, identity confusion and shifting values, today’s teens are navigating challenges previous generations never faced. Mark encourages parents not to panic — but to become a place of rest, wisdom and relationship in the middle of the chaos. While culture may compete for your teen’s heart, your steady presence still matters more than you know.If your home feels like Groundhog Day — same arguments, same frustrations, same exhausting cycle — it’s time to do something different.

What are the biggest financial questions people keep asking—and are we answering them the right way? The questions we wrestle with about money often reveal something deeper. They expose our fears, our hopes, and what we truly believe about God’s provision. That’s why financial wisdom must go beyond spreadsheets and strategies. It must address the heart. Sharon Epps, president of Kingdom Advisors, joins us to unpack what financial advisors across the country are hearing from their clients. While the seasons of life may vary, many of the same questions keep surfacing—and those questions often reveal concerns that go deeper than dollars and cents. The Questions People Keep Asking As Kingdom Advisors stays connected with financial professionals across the country, certain questions continue to surface. According to Sharon, three of the most common are: How much is enough? How do I prepare the next steward? How do I give intentionally? Each question involves real financial decisions, but each one also reveals something about the heart. They are not merely questions about money. They are questions about security, legacy, generosity, and trust. How Much Is Enough? At first glance, “How much is enough?” sounds like a numbers question. People want to know how much they should save, how much they need for retirement, or how much margin they need to feel secure. But beneath the question is often a deeper concern: Will I be okay? Will my family be okay? That’s why a purely financial answer can fall short. A typical financial plan may focus mainly on accumulation—building as much as possible to create a sense of safety. Saving wisely is important, but from a biblical perspective, accumulation alone cannot provide lasting peace. A stewardship approach asks a different question. It still considers the numbers, but it also recognizes that God is our provider. Enough is not merely a financial target. It is also a posture of the heart shaped by contentment, trust, and faithfulness. Preparing the Next Steward Another question many people ask is, “How do I prepare the next steward?” This often becomes urgent as people approach retirement or begin thinking about estate planning. But Sharon points out that preparing the next steward should not be delayed until later in life. It is something we should consider throughout our lifetime. That’s because stewardship is not only about passing on wealth. It is about passing on wisdom, values, and a vision for faithfulness. Proverbs 13:22 says, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.” While that certainly can include financial inheritance, it should not be limited to money. A truly meaningful inheritance includes biblical wisdom, godly character, and a clear understanding of how to steward resources. As Ron Blue has often said, estate planning is incomplete if it only focuses on wealth transfer. The greater goal is the transfer of wisdom before wealth. Giving Intentionally The third question Sharon says advisors frequently hear is, “How do I give intentionally?” This question moves generosity beyond impulse or obligation. It invites us to think carefully about how God may be calling us to use what He has entrusted to us for His Kingdom. Intentional giving requires prayer, planning, and a willingness to align our resources with our deepest convictions. It asks not simply, “How much can I give?” but “How can my giving reflect God’s generosity and advance His purposes?” A Resource for Deeper Stewardship These recurring questions helped inspire FaithFi’s new Field Guides—practical resources designed to help people work through major financial

Share a commentA Swedish study once claimed researchers had found a “sin gene” that could predict cheating. It sounds like science, but it also sounds like permission. We take that impulse head-on and ask the question we all dodge: when I fall, who am I blaming and why does it feel so natural to point anywhere but the mirror?We camp in James 1:13-18 and follow James’s blunt logic about temptation, sin, and spiritual maturity. God is not the author of your temptation, and the devil is not your excuse. The real battleground is desire. James says each of us is tempted in a personal way, carried away and enticed by what already pulls on our hearts. We walk through his “bait and hook” imagery, the moment desire turns into disobedience, and why sin doesn’t just “happen” to us. We also tackle the big theological question in the text: if God cannot be tempted, how was Jesus tempted? That leads to a practical takeaway you can use today: Jesus resists with Scripture, and so can we.Then we zoom out for hope. Temptation thrives on deception, but clarity changes everything. James reminds us that every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of lights, and he doesn’t shift, darken, or manipulate. When we trust God’s goodness and remember his grace, purity stops being a vague goal and becomes a daily response to who we belong to.If this helped you name your patterns and see the hook behind the bait, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

Sermon OverviewScripture Passage: Hebrews 11:17-19; Genesis 22:1-14Hebrews 11 recalls the story of Abraham and Isaac from Genesis 22 when God called a father to offer up his son as a sacrifice. This story was a dress rehearsal for Calvary, in which God the Father would send His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins.“By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, ‘In Isaac your seed shall be called,’ concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense” (Hebrews 11:17-19).In the passages from Genesis and Hebrews, Isaac serves as an Old Testament illustration of Jesus Christ. His birth was prophesied and preset, and he was conceived miraculously. His mother Sarah had him after she “passed the age of childbearing” (Genesis 18:11).Isaac’s name was divinely given; he was very loved by his father. He was offered up as a sacrifice and raised from the dead, as Hebrews 11:19 says, in a figurative sense. In the same way, Jesus was miraculously born of a virgin, and was specifically named by the Father, who loved Him. God sent Him as a sacrifice for the sins of the world, and He was raised from the dead.Genesis 22:2 says, “...Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”There was a purpose for this specific place: it speaks of the cross of Jesus Christ. As Isaac was led up a mountain to be sacrificed, Jesus also ascended a hill called Calvary, where He died.Just before Abraham was to sacrifice his son, God provided a ram to take Isaac’s place. Likewise, God kept His promise to us and provided a Lamb, His only Son Jesus Christ, whom He loved, to take our place and to die for our sins.Adrian Rogers says, “His name is Jehovah-Jireh (the God who provides), and the God who gave the first great gift is the God who will see us through.”Apply it to your lifeDo you believe in Jehovah-Jireh—the God who provides? Keep your faith in Him, who willfully gave Jesus, and will not hold His love back.

The word “trees” shows up more than 200 times in the Bible. Discover why it may not just be “the heavens that declare the glory of God” but also trees.Receive The Bible mentions trees more than 200 times throughout the Old and New Testament. From Genesis to Psalms to Matthew and into Revelation, it seems as though many significant theological events in the Bible are marked by a tree. As we consider the significance behind many of the trees included throughout Scripture, may we discover that not only do the heavens declare the glory of God, but so do trees. As we ponder the crucial role trees play in how the story of the Bible is told, let’s look for God’s fingerprints wherever we see a tree or a branch or a bush or a root or some kind of fruit mentioned in a passage. And as we notice the trees in our world a little more, may they help point us to God. Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below.
