You Are A Beloved Disciple Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021

Who I Am In Christ

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Oct 11, 2025

A vivid, humorous message exposing cultural Christianity’s counterfeits and inviting listeners to rediscover the transforming power of the real Jesus.

So I decided to ask a few self-described Christians what they actually believe. Same questions every ...read more

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025

God meets fugitives in forgotten places, offering bread, restored courage, forgiven regret, and a remnant of hope that carries destiny forward.

David is exhausted. Not the kind of tired a nap can fix. He is tired in his bones, in his courage, in his faith.

She kept walking to ...read more
