God’s Gentle Truth for Emotional Triggers and Reactive Patterns (Genesis 16:8) Apr 17, 2026

Show notes

Today’s Bible Verse: “And he said, ‘Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?’” — Genesis 16:8

Genesis 16:8 captures a deeply personal moment between God and Hagar—a woman who felt unseen, mistreated, and alone. In the wilderness, God meets her not with condemnation, but with a question. Not because He lacks information, but because He is inviting her to be known and heard.

How to Know You are Valued (Luke 12:7) Apr 16, 2026

Show notes

Today’s Bible Verse: “Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” — Luke 12:7

Luke 12:7 offers a deeply personal reminder of how much God cares. Jesus points to something as small as sparrows—creatures God watches over—and then makes it clear: you are far more valuable. God’s care is not distant or general; it is detailed and intentional, down to the very number of hairs on your head.

Bonus: When God Heals Slowly: Faith, Suffering and Learning to Wait | The Unbound Podcast Apr 11, 2026

Show notes

If you have ever felt trapped by your body, your limits or a season you didn’t choose, this
conversation will meet you where you are. In this bonus episode from The Unbound Podcast, Dr. Tony Evans sits down with Dr. Dan Wallace, one of the world’s leading Greek scholars and a lifelong student of the New Testament.

Dan is best known for his work in textual criticism and for founding the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, which has helped digitize thousands of ancient biblical manuscripts
around the world. But this conversation centers on a chapter of his life that few people know.

After contracting encephalitis, Dan lost much of his strength, mobility and even his grasp of
Greek, the language he had devoted his life to studying and teaching. He shares what it was
like to relearn Greek from scratch, using the very textbook he had written himself, while
navigating years of uncertainty, pain and physical limitations.

This is not a technical discussion and not a polished testimony. It is an honest conversation
about chronic illness, suffering without clear answers and what faith looks like when progress is
slow and control is gone. Together, they talk about what Scripture actually teaches about
suffering, how endurance is formed over time and why God’s presence often shows up through
people rather than quick solutions.

If you are carrying pain, fatigue or unanswered questions, this episode offers clarity without
clichés and hope without pretending everything is fine.

The Unbound Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Tony Evans about what it means to live
free of what binds us, including fear, pressure, shame and the need to perform strength. New
episodes release weekly.

Finding Strength for God's Work (Haggai 2:4-5) Apr 10, 2026

Show notes

Today’s Bible Verse: "Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with you,’ declares the Lord of Host. ‘This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you. Fear not.’” — Haggai 2:4–5

Haggai 2:4–5 speaks into a moment when God’s people felt discouraged and overwhelmed. The task before them seemed small compared to the past, and their strength felt limited. Yet God’s message was clear: Be strong… and work. For I am with you.

How to Deepen Your Relationship with Jesus (Luke 8:15) Apr 09, 2026

Show notes

Today’s Bible Verse: “But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.” — Luke 8:15

Luke 8:15 highlights what it looks like for God’s Word to truly take root in our lives. In the parable of the sower, Jesus describes different responses to truth—but here, we see the result of a receptive heart. It’s not just about hearing the Word; it’s about holding onto it.

Freely Forgiven and Freed to Forgive (Colossians 3:13) Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

Today’s Bible Verse: “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” — Colossians 3:13

Colossians 3:13 brings forgiveness into everyday relationships. It acknowledges that conflict and hurt will happen—but it also calls us to respond differently. Instead of holding onto resentment, we are invited to extend the same grace we’ve received from Christ.

You Are Loved and God Proved It (Romans 5:8) Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

Today’s Bible Verse: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8

Romans 5:8 gives us one of the clearest pictures of God’s love. It wasn’t shown when we had everything together—it was demonstrated while we were still far from Him. God didn’t wait for improvement or effort. He moved first.

How Christ Shifts Us from Striving to Peace (Romans 8:6) Apr 03, 2026

Show notes

Today’s Bible Verse: “The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.” — Romans 8:6

Romans 8:6 draws a clear contrast between two ways of living—one led by the flesh and one led by the Spirit. A mind focused on self, control, and temporary desires leads to emptiness. But a mind surrendered to the Spirit leads to something entirely different: life and peace.
