Mike Novotny, author of “What’s Big Starts Small,” joins Michael to talk through common distractions that may prevent us from realizing our growth and maturity in Christ.
New Season, New Series: The Fear of the Lord, The Beginning of Wisdom. Join us for a study of the book of Proverbs.
Q: Can women be deacons? Were deacons an actual “office” in the first church, or were they simply servants/volunteers as the word denotes?
Originally recorded at Immanuel Bible Church in Springfield, Virginia, Jim Traficant, Frank Finelli, and Jeremy Traficant share the story of how God moved powerfully in the midst of multiple urgent medical crises.
Q: My question is do you think our home in heaven will be our dream home? I know we’ll be completely satisfied with Jesus, but I just wonder if our longings on earth will be fulfilled in Heaven.
Alisa Childers began re-examining her faith after a jarring experience in an unexpected place left her questioning what she believed—and why. In this episode, she talks with Michael about rebuilding her faith intellectually through studying apologetics and hermeneutics.
Alisa’s newest book, “Live Your Truth and Other Lies,” exposes five damaging lies that permeate our culture, both inside and outside the church, and ultimately leave us “anxious, exhausted, and self-obsessed.”
The best investment any one of us can make is the one many of us struggle to prioritize. If you’ve struggled to spend time in the Word lately, this message is for you. In this sermon, originally recorded at Mood Bible Institute’s Founder’s Week in 2019 at the Moody Church in Chicago, IL, Michael teaches through 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and demonstrates that scripture—all scripture—is profitable in a person’s life in every way.
Q: Health, cultural, or traditional reasons aside: should Christian parents have their sons circumcised for religious or theological reasons?
Dr. Dave Gibson is back on inContext to talk about his new book, “In My Father’s Wake: How an Anxious Boy Learned to Love a Difficult Dad”. Hardwon wisdom shrouded in humor, Dave’s storytelling offers belonging, comfort, and a gentle challenge to any (many) of us who bear a father wound.
Q: Regarding the “lost sheep” and our Good Shepherd Who goes after even one: is that referring to unbelievers, or to someone who has strayed from the flock, and do they both “know His voice”?
