Is my cancer back? Is my job secure? Will I ever get married? Are my children safe? Our lives are often a chronicle of trouble, pain, and uncertainty--and God's children yearn for peace. Many who wrestle with anxiety and despair know that the Bible calls them to "trust God," but what does that even mean? Pastor, podcaster, and speaker, Jonny Ardavanis, joined us to help us see how God responds to those who are worn down by worry and badgered by melancholy.  https://www.amazon.com/Consider-Lilies-Finding-Perfect-Character/dp/0310368243  https://dialinministries.org/  https ..read more

According to the World Health Organization, of the estimated 80 million people in need a wheelchair, only 5–35% have access to one. In low-income countries, as few as 3% of people have access to the assistive products they need. That's why each year, dedicated Joni and Friends volunteers collect thousands of used manual wheelchairs and other mobility equipment. Donated wheelchairs are restored to like-new condition by inmates in prison-based restoration centers located across the United States. This restoration process offers inmates the opportunity to make a difference for others and experien ..read more

What’s a Christian to do about Halloween? Always a quandary. No judgment here... each believer needs to take it to the Lord. But we can’t deny God’s Word is very clear about witchcraft, contacting the dead, and the occult in general. It’s forbidden. Ex-psychic Jenn Nizza spent years embroiled in the occult. But after becoming a Christian and finding Jesus, she's now speaking out and warning believers about what she says are the dangerous elements of Halloween. https://www.expsychicsaved.com/ https://www.instagram.com/expsychicsaved/?hl=en Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/m ..read more

How can I pick the right job? Actually, you don't need to choose a job that's "perfect for you." But you do need to be productive in ways that honor God in your work life. Here's a better question: As a believer, how can I determine what I am supposed to do, and then do it well? The doctrine of calling, or vocation, will lead you to the answer. This is a great topic to dive into for all of us as believers, but especially those who are on the younger side of the equation! https://www.amazon.com/Finding-My-Vocation-Seeking-Calling/dp/1959515292 Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donate ..read more

Our friend, Robby Lashua, from the ministry, Stand to Reason, writes this, "I love meeting with Latter-day Saints, especially the young men and women who are serving on their mission. I often invite them to my house to discuss their beliefs and ask questions about what Joseph Smith taught. After a few meetings, they usually ask if they can bring their bishop along with them to help answer some of my questions. I always say yes.” Want to hear how this usually goes?  https://www.str.org/w/ground-your-faith-in-reality  To effectively engage Latter-day Saints... https://training.str.org ..read more

Too many believers treat salvation like fire insurance. They’re happy to have their ticket to heaven but fail to fulfill their responsibility to grow spiritually now. We need to pursue a fruitful life by considering how God equips us as Christians to grow and grab onto the value of diligently striving for godliness. For that we’ll dive into 2 Peter 1. Let’s keep growing in Christ!  https://www.amazon.com/Cultivating-Spiritual-Growth-Striving-Maturity/dp/B0DF371GW3  Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wkes See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informati ..read more

Let’s get real about temptation. We’re drawn to the dopamine hit of getting near sin, but not (hopefully) entering in. We want to test ourselves and prove our mettle, and so we intentionally step into temptation’s path. We want the rush of escape. Temptation is tempting. But Jesus warns us against such dabbling.  https://www.thebeehive.live/blog/temptingtemptation  Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wkes See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information ..read more
