Seeing Ourselves Through God's Eyes
We all carry wounds from the words and actions of others, but it's important to remember how our Creator sees us. Instead of dwelling on images of our pain, we need to look into a God-centered mirror that reflects the way He sees us. Ed Stetzer talks with JP Foster and Matt Williams about their...

Prayer is one of the most universal Christian struggles. Many of us feel like we don't "pray right," or we give up because prayer seems formulaic and dry. Ed Stetzer talks with Matt Smallbone about his book, The Prayer Experiment: How Praying Like Jesus Realigns Everything and how praying the...

Redeeming Your Pain
We all carry wounds―some we caused, others that were done to us. Anxiety, depression, other forms of mental illness, trauma, burnout, and disconnection plague us.

Finding Real Wisdom in Our Walk with God
Every man is being shaped by some kind of wisdom. The key question is–what type of wisdom is guiding us? Scripture doesn't suggest every form of wisdom produces a better, more flourishing life. In fact, it warns us of the opposite condition. Ed Stetzer talks with John Simons about his book, The…
more -
Staking Your Identity in Christ

Forgiveness: Reclaiming its Power in an Age of Outrage and Fear

-
Living a Life of Holiness, Even Amidst Our Failures

The Challenges Facing Christians in a Post-Christian World
