Good Call with Andrew Farley

After deep betrayal, a caller wrestles with anger and forgiveness. Andrew reframes forgiveness—not as excusing wrong or feeling better—but as a freeing choice to release the debt and reclaim peace from consuming bitterness.

Many pastors teach that we need to get right with God. Maybe the pastor is speaking to the lost, or encouraging believers to make right choices. We need to clear with the message. Every believer is right with God.

Why do so many cultures have flood stories if only Noah’s family survived? Andrew explains how global accounts actually support a shared historical event—one story, retold across generations, pointing back to God’s rescue.

A concerned friend asks how to respond to LGBTQ-affirming theology spreading in a loved one’s life. Andrew offers clarity on Scripture, while urging wisdom—knowing when to speak truth and when to step back in peace.

If Christians have a new heart, why do they still sin? In this honest conversation, Andrew unpacks the difference between your new identity and old thinking—revealing why failure happens without redefining who you are.

Christians wonder what they are supposed to do. There are many different answers. Romans 12:1 says to offer our bodies. That's the believer's act of worship, which is any move we make in dependence on Jesus.

Are you overthinking every decision, wondering if you’re really following God’s will? In this call, Andrew exposes the trap of spiritual self-inspection and reveals a freeing truth: faith isn’t constant analysis—it’s trusting the new heart God already gave you and learning to simply live.

Many Christians read Romans 7 and think they’re still sinners at the core. But what if Paul was describing something entirely different? In this clip, I clarify “indwelling sin,” what it means to let sin reign, and whether you’re battling your identity or standing in it.

What if the verse that’s been making you question your walk with God… was never meant to? In this eye-opening radio highlight, Andrew uncovers a surprising truth about Romans 8:1 that strips away the pressure and reveals the pure gospel: No condemnation. No conditions. No fine print.

In this clip, Revelation is reframed—not as a forecast of doom, but as a revealing of Jesus Christ. His victory. His authority. And the security we believers already have in Him.

What if everything you were taught about “finding God’s will” is backwards? What if you’re not one decision away from missing it… not one mistake away from ruining it… not one wrong turn away from falling out of it? This conversation might dismantle the fear-based theology that’s been quietly shaping your choices for years.

“For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins…” (Hebrews 10:26)There’s no sacrifice left? What does this even mean? Can we out-sin the grace of God and reach the point where the blood of Christ runs out on us?Edgar in North Carolina called in to our radio program to ask about this very challenging passage, Hebrews 10:26. Edgar was taught that this verse is designed to motivate Christians or “hit them on the head” so they get in line out of fear of God’s judgment.Listen as I address Edgar’s question and discuss the true and liberating meaning of Hebrews 10:26.Enjoy!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

A recent caller shared he feels spiritually empty. He reads his Bible twice a day and tries to pray constantly… but it all feels like a chore now. He’s worried he’s lost his hunger for God. Sound familiar?If you’ve ever felt pressure to “do more for God” just to stay on His good side—welcome to the club.Somewhere, this caller picked up a legalistic message. You know the one: If you really loved God, you’d prove it. More reading. More praying. More doing.And what happened? He burned out.I’ve got a strong word for that kind of toxic teaching—and I’m not pulling punches. If your faith feels dry and frustrating instead of joyful and free, this clip is for you.

What is the armor of God? Should it be seen as literal is the armor symbolic of something else? Finally, how do we put it on?Jason called in to our radio broadcast to ask about Ephesians 6 and the true meaning of putting on spiritual armor. In this short clip, I share my thoughts with Jason.I hope this is an encouraging reminder to you to keep the Gospel message simple and always focused on Jesus.We hope you enjoyed this episode.

When you truly grasp the new covenant of God’s grace, it changes everything—including how you pray. You realize you’re fully forgiven, deeply loved, and clean and close to Him. There’s no need to beg or plead for what’s already yours in Christ.But what about the messy, everyday stuff—your pain, anxiety, and tough decisions? Should you still ask God for help? Can you really be that raw and real with Him?Let’s explore what prayer looks like in light of the finished work of Christ, and why bringing your requests to your heavenly Father isn’t just okay…it’s essential.We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Diane from Nazareth, Pennsylvania would like to help her two friends rebuild their marriage together, but she just doesn’t know where to start. So Diane called in to our radio program to get some ideas.Listen as I share with Diane some of the major ways in which marriages can start to go wrong:score-keeping and trying to win not identifying the real enemy in a conflict hanging onto resentment and not forgiving allowing the fear of “what if?” to take hold.We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Anthony from Tennessee called in to our radio program to ask about the Parable of the Wedding Feast.Many are called? Few are chosen? On what basis are they chosen?

Some Christians have heard that if you’re feeling sad, discouraged, or overwhelmed, you must be doing something wrong—that “real” faith means always feeling joyful and victorious.But what if that’s not just unhelpful… but completely untrue?In this , I answer a heartfelt question about sadness and whether feeling low is somehow unspiritual. We take a look at what Scripture actually says—and it’s far more comforting than the cliches people often throw around.Jesus wept. Paul despaired of life. David poured out his heart in the Psalms. You’re in good company.If you’ve ever felt like your emotions disqualify you from being a “strong” Christian, I think you’ll find real hope—and maybe even a deep breath of relief—in what we talk about here.We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Hebrews 12:14 says that there is a sanctification (or holiness) without which no one will see the Lord. Does this mean that some believers won’t be holy enough to see God?This was Jamal’s question when he called in from Florida to our radio program. In this short , I address the meaning of sanctification and the healthy interpretation of Hebrews 12.Enjoy!

It’s a common belief that sounds spiritual—and even Biblical: God forgives us as we forgive others.But is that actually the Gospel?If you’ve ever been told God’s acceptance depends on you being endlessly nice, sweet, and forgiving, then you need to hear this call. Because that idea isn’t just misleading—it’s dangerous.In this episode, I unpack Jesus’ teaching on forgiveness, including His parable about forgiving “seventy times seven.” You’ll see how His words have been twisted to promote a performance-based Christianity—and why the truth is far more freeing.Are we forgiven because we forgive? Or do we forgive because we’ve been forgiven? Let’s clear up the confusion and rest in the boundless, unconditional forgiveness that comes from His blood, not our behavior.

Michael from Ontario, Canada called in to our radio program to ask for a good definition of legalism.In this short clip, I talk with Michael about the dangers of legalism. I also share what we need to believe concerning rightness with God in order to avoid legalistic pitfalls.Enjoy!

To whom is the book of James written? To Christians only, or to unbelievers, or to both?And what should we make of James 4 when it addresses sinners who need to be cleansed and have their hearts purified and draw near to God?In the short clip, I address this important question.Enjoy!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Some churches and denominations seem to wave a magic wand over Scripture, affirming lifestyles that are clearly not of God. Maybe you have a friend or family member engaged in a way of life that you know is sinful, and it has you wondering if they’re actually a believer.Can we always judge a book by its cover? After all, only God knows the heart. We may express our disapproval of behavior not aligned with the New Testament, but navigating these tricky waters also requires wisdom and love. So, what’s our role when we see others struggling, straying, or even justifying sin?In this clip, you’ll discover how to be a beacon of grace for others who are genuinely seeking the truth. Click to watch and find peace in letting Jesus be the final word!

With earthly contracts, there are two or more parties involved, and sometimes there’s a cancellation clause. This clause lets one party back out of the deal if certain conditions are not met.Daniel from Louisiana called in to our radio program to ask if the New Covenant has a cancellation clause. Is there any way that we can willfully back out, break the covenant, and thereby lose our salvation?In this short clip, I address this important question.

Cameron called in to ask about the “perfection” we have in Christ versus the “godliness” we’re called to in our attitudes and actions.How do these two fit together?In this episode, I address these two concepts and also talk about God’s answer to perfectionism.Enjoy

Has church membership ever felt more like a maze of requirements than the Gospel? A caller recently asked about her church requiring membership to take communion. Does fellowship really depend on formal paperwork?In this , I dive into what it truly means to be part of the body of Christ. We’re talking about an organism, not an organization. Hebrews encourages us to gather but doesn’t mention forms, sign-ups, classes, or tithing quotas. Whether it’s a coffee shop chat, a church service, or praying on a friend’s porch, gathering is about encouragement, not pressure.If you’re feeling the squeeze, click through to see why healthy church isn’t built on coercion or pressure!

Jack from Arkansas called in to our radio program to ask about temptation:Is temptation a mental sin?Was Jesus really tempted like we are?What do we really learn from Jesus’ life if He was God and we aren’t?In this short clip, I address all of these questions. If you often find yourself bombarded with temptations, I hope this is especially encouraging to you!

Wendy from Boston called in to tell me that she has been taught that some believers will be disappointed in Heaven, because they won’t get as many rewards as other Christians.Is this true? Will there be disappointment in Heaven? And what about the idea of differing quantities of rewards?In this brief call, I address Wendy’s fears and highlight the truth. I hope this is an encouragement to you.

Jesus said connection with Him is easy and light, and that we’d even find relaxation in Him. But how can that even happen in the chaos of life?A caller recently asked if Christianity should be restful. The short answer: YES! The Gospel is designed to bring us rest – true, lasting relaxation in Jesus. But getting there isn’t always a straight line. We deal with pain and suffering, and the flesh and the Spirit clash like a battle royale. So, how does God help us experience peace in all that?If you want to know how the Gospel leads to true rest (even when life’s a hot mess), check out my answer here. You’ll be encouraged by what God’s done for you to help you relax and enjoy Him!

We are totally forgiven for all our sins- past, present, and future. And we don’t have to ask for forgiveness for each sin, wondering if God will answer our request.So what is a healthy response when we’ve committed a sin? In this short clip, I address this practical question.I hope this serves as a beautiful reminder of the finished work of Christ and the new desires He has given us.Enjoy!

Grace is currently grieving the loss of someone close to her. But she has been told by others to “just think positive.” And it’s not working.So Grace called in to our radio program to ask about the concept of positive thinking and to get a biblical perspective on it.How do we grieve? Does God grieve with us? Is it okay to feel “negative” things? It is these questions and more that are addressed in this short clip.I hope it encourages you today!

Are you hesitant to celebrate your new heart? Those embarrassing, nasty thoughts can make you doubt its trustworthiness. Ezekiel 36 promises a new heart and spirit, but does the New Testament back this up? Are we really walking around with a righteous heart, or is it still deceitful? Or a work in process?Join me as we explore numerous New Testament passages revealing the truth about your heart transformation and God’s Spirit in you. You’ll see why it’s crucial to discern between your mind and heart, and the difference between renewal and being already new.Embracing your new identity in Christ will revolutionize your understanding of who you are.

The book of James tells us that God is not tempted by sin. However, Hebrews says that Jesus was tempted in every way.At first glance, this may seem like a real contradiction, so Chris from Akron, Ohio called in to ask about it.In this episode, I address Chris’s concern and discuss the temptations that Jesus faced.I hope this is an encouraging reminder that we have a Savior who empathizes with our weaknesses.We hope you enjoyed this episode.

A recent caller asked about the allure of the Orthodox Church, with its ancient ceremonies and traditions. Sure, it sounds appealing – who wouldn’t want something that feels deeper than the usual Sunday service? But just because something’s been around for ages doesn’t make it right.Remember the Galatians? They got duped by mixing law and grace, and we wouldn’t follow their lead just because they’re ancient. The real question is, what have you done with Jesus?Tradition can be seductive, but when it veers from the Gospel taught by the apostles, it’s time to run for the hills.

How do we define sin without clinging to the Ten Commandments? A caller posed this question, and I had to respond – imagine trying to use the Law to keep track of what’s right and wrong! It’s laughable to think our moral compass should be limited to what’s etched in stone.Here’s the deal: Christianity isn’t about avoiding a checklist of sins. It’s about expressing Christ in us. The Spirit of God is eager to lead us, producing fruit that goes way beyond “don’t steal” or “don’t lie.” When we focus on a dynamic, Spirit-led relationship with Jesus, everything else falls into place.Want to hear more?

Does the God of the Old Testament seem different in the New Testament? A caller asked me about this apparent shift from violence to mercy. Is God having a personality crisis? And what about evil and disasters – is God hurling calamities our way?God’s character is unchanging, but there’s been a radical change in covenants. As believers today, we’re living under a better deal with better promises. No more worrying about losing the Holy Spirit or offering endless sacrifices. The Gospel offers us a life of grace and freedom.Dive into this video and transform your understanding of God’s goodness.

We hear a lot about eternal rewards in Christian circles, but what does it actually mean to “store up treasures in Heaven”? Is it about snagging a bigger mansion or stacking up crowns, like a heavenly bling collection?Jesus isn’t offering a Righteous Rewards Program in Matthew 6 – He’s inviting us to shift our focus from the earthly to the eternal perspective. (Remember: Treasures are discovered, not earned!) The Apostle Paul echoes this call, urging us to set our minds on things above, not on earthly things.Forget about earning status or collecting extra rewards. In this video, I unpack the ultimate treasure Jesus is referencing, including the spiritual riches we possess right now.

David has only been a believer for about one year.

In Revelation, there’s an admonition for Christians to remain focused and not lose their first love.David from Florida called in about this expression. He had been told that not losing your first love means to “remain energized” and “stay 100% sold out” and make sure you’re always doing good works.But the group that received this admonition from God was already busy standing up for truth and stomping out evil doctrines!So in this clip, I share with David what it really means to remain focused on our first love, Jesus.Enjoy!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Ever been told you need to try harder to be like Jesus? It’s easy to get swept up in the hustle for cleaner living and better behavior, thinking it’ll boost your standing with God.But striving to be more like Jesus suggests you’re not already like Him. If you’re always trying to become something you’re not, you’ll never arrive.

Jack from Grand Rapids, Michigan called in to ask about this challenging New Testament passage:“For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband.” (1 Corinthians 7:14)Is a husband automatically saved because of his wife’s faith? Or vice versa? This was Jack’s question, and in this episode, I address this difficult passage to get at the heart of the Gospel message and the Apostle Paul’s true meaning here.Enjoy!We hope you enjoyed this episode.
