The Prosperity Gospel Test Dec 03, 2025

Show notes

You probably don’t believe in the prosperity gospel, at least not the version that promises wealth and health in exchange for faith or donations. But what if traces of it still influence your Christian life? In this episode, Jon explores how transactional thinking subtly creeps into the hearts of even Reformed believers. We often assume God's nearness or blessing is based on our performance, which can rob us of joy and rest in Christ. This episode aims to expose hidden prosperity thinking and point you back to the comfort of the true gospel.

Why Do I Still Struggle with Sin? (w/ Luke Kjolhaug) Nov 26, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever wondered, “Why do I still struggle with this?” Many Christians expect that with maturity, temptation will decrease and sin will lose its appeal. But Scripture offers a more realistic view. In this episode, we talk about the saint-sinner reality. How believers remain both righteous in Christ and yet still battle the flesh. Jon is joined by special guest pastor and author, Luke Kjolhaug, to explore what the Bible actually says about spiritual growth, expectation, and daily struggle.

Show notes

What truly motivates the Christian life: the gospel or the law? Too often, we confuse gospel-driven living with law-based performance.

Is the Gospel Really That Simple? Oct 08, 2025

Show notes

I regularly sit across the table from people and ask them to tell me the gospel. I can see how nervous and anxious that question makes them. Maybe you have had that experience: someone asks you, "What is the gospel?" and suddenly you do not know how to respond. You worry you might not say the right thing. Often this happens because we have made the gospel far too complicated in the way we talk about it. That robs us of the peace, hope, and assurance the Lord intends for us to have. The gospel is unfathomably deep, yet it is also beautiful in its simplicity. Jon and Justin have a conversation about that today. We hope it encourages you.

When Christians Hurt Each Other Oct 01, 2025

Show notes

Justin and Jon love this phrase: All of Christ for all of life. That is what this podcast is about today. The doctrine of Christ is important, and we need to get it right—but it is also for our daily lives. This is where it becomes a balm and a joy. It allows us not only to have rest but also to give rest. So we want to talk about what all of Christ looks like in areas such as relational conflict. How do we apply the wonders of Jesus for us, and how do we use something like the third use of the law to proclaim the light of the Kingdom while resisting the darkness? We live in a dark world, so considering all of Christ in conflict is a really important conversation. It was helpful for us, and we hope it will be encouraging for you as well.
