The current moral decline and theological compromise among Christians is no longer concerning – it’s alarming. We see division and false teaching, even in the Church itself. What can those who care do? In this program, Chip explains how can we stand for biblical truth and winsomely communicate, even regarding controversial issues, with love and integrity - just like Jesus did.Main Points Rethinking our communication Yesterday: Apologetics were about what we believe and why. And it was aimed at answering the skeptic’s questions. Today: We need to aim apologetics first and foremost toward believers, especially young people. Yesterday: We needed to master facts, data, and history to intellectually prove what we believe is true. Today: We need to model a concerned and compassionate life-style that proves that what we believe is actually relevant. Yesterday: We needed to win the debate. Today: We need to win an audience. Yesterday: We communicated on a level playing field that presumed TRUTH was an objective reality. Today: We communicate on the shifting sands of TRUTH as a subjective reality. Yesterday: The Church and the culture shared a general knowledge of the Bible. Today: Both the Church and the world are biblically illiterate. Yesterday: Committed Christian men or women were admired. Today: Committed Christian men or women have been called “dangerous”. Yesterday: We could begin with the truth and then express grace. Today: We must begin with grace in order to share the truth. Yesterday: The moral climate and the values of major institutions like education, medicine, and the media reinforced our values. Today: The moral climate of major institutions challenge and ridicule our our faith.

What would you say to a young person who has embraced the current worldview or had a bad church experience and now doesn’t believe in Jesus anymore? Chip will unpack this growing problem through the conclusion of his conversation with author and pastor John Dickerson. The two will encourage anxious parents and offer practical guidance to come alongside today's youth with uncompromising truth and radical love.Main Points The Deconstruction Trend: Many young people, even from strong Christian backgrounds, are questioning their beliefs. This trend is occurring at increasingly younger ages. Creating a Safe Space: Parents and leaders must provide a non-judgmental environment for open dialogue. Listening and asking questions are vital to understanding the root causes of doubt. Empathy and understanding are more effective than immediate answers. Addressing Intellectual and Emotional Issues: Both intellectual and emotional challenges need to be addressed. Providing historical and philosophical context is essential. Acknowledging the negative aspects of Christian history while highlighting the positive impact of Christianity. The Importance of Relationships: Strong, supportive relationships are crucial for maintaining faith. Young people need close friends who share their values. Building relationships with those outside the Christian community is important. Practical Strategies: Encourage open conversations and probing questions. Pray for God to bring supportive relationships. Model authentic faith. Address hypocracy in the church. Be willing to apologize for personal failures in modeling faith. Mentoring is important. Partnering with good college ministries is important. The Power of Modeling: A vibrant faith modeled by parents has a strong influence. Admitting past failures and seeking forgiveness can open doors. Conclusion: Persistent prayer and support are essential for those struggling with doubts. God can use these challenges to strengthen faith. Parents and church leaders must actively engage in the lives of young people.

But in this program, our Bible teacher, Chip Ingram, poses a piercing question: has your faith been reduced to that same superficial fandom? Join us as we continue our study in the Gospel of Mark by revealing a vital distinction: knowing about Jesus is not the same as truly knowing Him.Main Points The Withdrawal - Crowds = Mark 3:7-12 Principle: Meeting the felt needs of people is the key to meeting their real needs. The Appointment - Call = Mark 3:13-19 Principle: You can impress people from a distance, but can only impact them up close. The Accusations - Cost = Mark 3:20-35 Principle: There is a physical, emotional, and spiritual cost to following Jesus.

Have you ever wondered why pain, challenges, and hardships exist? Can we not just enjoy an easy, worry-free life? In this program, our Bible teacher, Chip Ingram, addresses that complex topic as he continues his study through the Gospel of Mark. By examining how Jesus responded to confrontations by the religious elite of His day, you will learn the powerful lesson of leading with grace and truth.Main Points The first opposition: Scene 2 - Eating controversy = Mark 2:13-17 Scene 4 - Sabbath controversy = Mark 2:23-28

The household of fatih = Mark 1:29-31 • When Jesus works in someone, their immediate response is to serve others. The place of privacy = Mark 1:35-39 • Question: Who can be involved? Who’s Jesus’ target audience?

We have all sung the powerful words of the hymn, "I have decided to follow Jesus." The melody resonates, and the sentiment rings true, but the question lingers: What does it actually look like to walk in Jesus' footsteps? In this program, our Bible teacher, Chip Ingram, gets to the root of that question as he begins his study in the Gospel of Mark. Join him as he examines Jesus’ life and ministry, revealing the profound implications of His sacrifice and the radical call to follow Him wholeheartedly.Main Points Examining the Gospel of Mark: Mark Introduction: Mark 1:1-13 The beginning of the gospel Jesus' baptism: Mark 1:9-11

Chip wraps up this series with a look at how to build friendships that can last a lifetime.Main Points “There is no limit to what God will do if we don’t care who gets the credit!” I. Honoring others above ourselves is the “acid test” of how much we really love one another. --John 13:1-5; John 13:12-17 Key observations: Honoring others is motivated by love. Security in God’s plan allows us to choose downward mobility. Honoring others begins with humility. Position and power are stewardships for service. Real happiness comes when we make others shine, not hog the limelight. Summary: Honoring others is enjoying and celebrating the worth, success, and accomplishments of others more than my own. II. What does “honoring others” look like in your life? Step 1: Evaluate When was the last time you honored someone above yourself? Step 2: Questions to ponder: Do you compliment others sincerely? Do you enjoy the success of others? Can you let others be the center of attention? Can you allow others to get credit even when you had a major role? Do you feel bad, slighted, hurt, or angry when you work or service goes unnoticed? III. What happens when we honor others above ourselves? The Great paradox --Philippians 2:9-11 The Awesome promise --Matthew 23:5-12 The Timeless prayer --St Francis of Assisi Conclusion: Many relationships start well, but few end well. Those who habitually honor others build friendships that last a lifetime.

We all can be hard to get along with at times, but there are some people who seem to be especially gifted at it! Before you put someone in a headlock, and before you lose your temper, join Chip as he teaches us how to deal with the difficult people in our lives.Main Points Thesis: Sometimes the person we most want God to remove from our lives is the person we need the most. Why? Because: The way we treat difficult people reveals the true condition of our heart. Difficult people cause us to grow in ways we couldn’t on our own. The most distinguishing mark of Jesus’ followers is their love for those they would not and could not love on their own. What does “bearing with” others look like? With humility – See them and treat them as people of equal or superior value than yourself. With gentleness – Extend undeserved acts of kindness and acceptance that are foreign to you with this person. With patience – Refuse to allow your irritation and frustration to erupt into negative thoughts, feelings, and comments to or about them. With forgiveness – Release them from your internal desire to pay them back for the frustration, difficulty, and wounds they inflicted upon you. Why is “bearing with” difficult people so important? It increases my appreciation of God’s love toward me. It demonstrates God’s love toward them. It changes me where I need it most. It communicates the reality and authenticity of Christ to the world. Conclusion: Sometimes the person I most want God to remove from my life is the very person I need the most! Action Steps: Identify the most difficult person in your life right now. Begin praying everyday for this person for the next two weeks. Stop consciously avoiding them and start seeing them like Christ does. (see Colossians 3:12) Serve them in some specific way this week. Discuss these action steps with your friends, family, growth group, Bible study, and/or ministry team.

Have you blown it big time? Have you committed a sin that you think has put you on the sideline forever? According to Jesus, you have hope. Chip shares that no matter how far you have fallen, you can reset your boundaries, beginning today, and get back in the game.Main Points Two extremes! Exhibit A: Passive Indifference Exhibit B: Painful Insensitivity Review: The teaching of Jesus. --Matthew 18:15-17 Step 1: Private conference --Matthew 18:15 Step 2: Small group confrontation --Matthew 18:16 Step 3: Public disclosure Matthew 18:17a Step 4: Public exclusion --Matthew 18:17b The Question: How do we restore those who have fallen? The Answer: Galatians 6:1-2 What does Galatians 6:1-2 mean? The Situation: A fellow Christian is “caught” (overcome) by a sin. The Command: The spiritually mature are to restore this believer. The Method: Gentleness is to characterize our attitude and the process. The Warning: Restoration is a dangerous process even for the mature. The Summary: “Bearing one another’s burdens” involves the arduous task of confrontation, forgiveness, comfort, and loving fallen believers back to a position of fellowship and former fruitfulness. (see 2 Corinthians 2:5-11 & Luke 15:11-32) Conclusion: We serve the God of “second chances.” We will all “fall” to some degree at some time. We must resist our fears and insecurities that lead to passive indifference. We must resist our desire for justice and self-righteous tendencies that lead to painful insensitivity. We must restore, not “shoot our wounded.” How can we fail to do for another what Christ has done for us?

Do you know someone who’s about to throw the towel in? Don’t let ‘em! They need you to “jump in the ring” with them and “double team” the enemy. It’s called ENCOURAGEMENT! Chip Ingram teaches us how to become an awesome encourager, and how to lift up those who are down.Main Points Sometimes the only difference between success and failure is a simple word of encouragement! What is encouragement? Meaning of the word: Use in the New Testament: Use in the Old Testament: Summary: We are to aid, help, support, and intercede for each other by means of comforting in affliction, strengthening in faith, and motivating toward righteousness. In short, encouragement (building up others) is taking the truth of Scripture by life and word in the context of meaningful and caring relationships, to restore perspective and, thereby, provide hope which carries us through affliction and above complacency. Why is encouragement so important? Because God commands it. --1 Thessalonians 5:11 Because sin is deceitful. --Hebrews 3:13 Because spiritual growth requires it. --1 Thessalonians 3:2 Because we lose perspective so easily. --2 Corinthians 7:3-7 What does Biblical encouragement look like? Hebrews10:19-25 Two facts – Two eternal truths: Since we have access into God’s presence. --Hebrews 10:19 Since we never go into God’s presence alone. --Hebrews 10:21 Three exhortations – Three timeless principles: “Let us draw near…” Biblical encouragement restores perspective. --Hebrews 10:22 “Let us hold fast…” Biblical encouragement promotes endurance. --Hebrews 10:23 “Let us stimulate one another…” Biblical encouragement inspires spiritual growth. --Hebrews 10:24 How? By stimulating one another to Christ-like attitudes and actions in relationships. By refusing to allow one another to “drift” from regular attendance at worship or small group times. By reminding one another of the certainty and accountability involved in Christ’s return.

Do you find it hard to not make judgments about people based on their clothes, or hair, or the car they drive? You know God looks on the heart, but you just can’t get past that outward appearance. What do you do? Chip reveals Jesus’ remedy for passing judgment on those who are different from us.Main Points To love each other the way Jesus loved His disciples means we must accept one another, just as Christ accepted us, in order to bring glory to God! Dr. Larry Crabb – Connecting, page 66: “Connecting is a kind of relating that happens when the powerful life of Christ in one person meets the good life of Christ in another.

Have you ever wished that someone would look behind the smile, the makeup, and the clothes, to see who you really are - and accept you just as you are? We all long for that, and in this message Chip shares how Jesus taught us to love one another.Main Points To love each other the way Jesus loved His disciples means we must accept one another, just as Christ accepted us, in order to bring glory to God! Dr. Larry Crabb – Connecting, page 66: “Connecting is a kind of relating that happens when the powerful life of Christ in one person meets the good life of Christ in another.

Do you long to be connected to other people? Do you find yourself getting close but then you don’t know how to break through? Do you feel like there’s an invisible wall between you and other people but you don’t know why? Chip reveals how to connect deeply with others and how to have them connect deeply with you.Main Points Dr. Larry Crabb: “Imagine what could happen if God were to place within his people intangible nutrients that had the power to both prevent and reverse soul disease and then told us to share those nutrients with each other in a special kind of intimate relating called connection. Imagine what could happen if that were true, if we believed it, and if we devoted ourselves to understanding what those nutrients were and how we could give them away. I envision a community of people who intentionally mingle in settings where these nutrients are passed back and forth, where I pour into you the healing resources within me and you pour into me what God has put in you. Like spiritual gifts, these nutrients only nourish our own souls as we give them away for the blessing of others. In recent days, I have made a shift. I am now working toward the day when communities of God’s people, ordinary Christians whose lives regularly intersect, will accomplish most of the good that we now depend on mental health professionals to provide. And they will do it by connecting with each other in ways that only the gospel makes possible.” Question: What is this “better way” and how does it work? God’s Answer: “Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.” --Romans 12:10 What keeps us from experiencing this authentic devotion one to another? It doesn’t happen automatically. --1 Thessalonians 4:9-10; 1 Peter 1:22-23; 2 Peter 1:5-7 It takes time, effort, and intentionally. It is especially difficult for some of us to share at the “feeling” level because: | We fear rejection. | We come from poor family backgrounds. | We’ve had negative church experiences.| Personal unresolved anger and bitterness. Excessive preoccupation with ourselves. Failure to recognize our limitationsand personal capacitiesin relationships. Idealistic / Unrealistic expectations. How can you develop deeper “family relationships”? Honestly evaluate your level of “connectedness” and family devotion. Identify the top two factors that are keeping you from building warmer, deeper relationships in God’s family. Prayerfully determine which sub-group you would be most comfortable with. Prayerfully decide on a specific time, event, or activity that would allow you to “take the next step” toward devotion and connection. (If possible, ask someone to go with you.) Join a Growth Group or Ministry Team for a specified, limited time. Be friendly – even if it doesn’t come naturally. Ask God to let you find someone who feels “less connected” than you this week and love them.

Chip continues his message on how to develop authentic relationships.Main Points Why are there so many people desperately hurting and in need of love, and so many others who are so willing and wanting to give love, yet so few who actually get loved? What's the missing link? 6 Key Words: You are memebers of one another. Thesis: To fulfill Jesus’ command to love one another, as He loved us demands that we understand our membership and function in “HIS SUPERNATURAL COMMUNITY.” You are members of a supernatural community. What makes it supernatural? It has a supernatural origin. --Acts 1:1-3 It has a supernatural agenda. --Acts 1:4-7 It has a supernatural power. --Acts 1:8 What makes it authentic community? Possessing an accurate view of ourselves. --Romans 12:3 Key word = Vulnerability Nurturing a healthy appreciation of others. --Romans 12:4-5a Key word = Thankfulness Practicing a loyal allegiance to one another. --Romans 12:5b Key word = Commitment Application: No individual Christian can function effectively by himself/herself.

I want You to answer me because when You told me what to do, I was obedient in the past. | 2. Please don’t forsake me and turn me away. | 3.

Want to become great in God’s eyes? In this message, you’ll learn why sacrifice and greatness go hand in hand.Main Points Introduction: Pondering the Power of “Sacrifice” Great sacrifices, even in movies, art, music, or athletics produce a profound and almost inexplicable emotional and spiritual response. We admire those who make great sacrifices. We enshrine those who make great sacrifices. We honor those who make great sacrifices. We reward those who make great sacrifices. We seek to emulate those who make great sacrifices. Why? – What is this mystical union and soul connection we subconsciously make when we witness a great sacrifice for a noble cause, or a personal relationship? Answer – Sacrifice is the clearest and greatest evidence of the extent of one’s love and devotion toward a person, a cause, or a thing. --John 15:13 In short, sacrifice is “the arrow” that points toward who or what we worship (ascribe worth, importance, value to). I. Understanding Biblical sacrifice and worship: Lessons from Leviticus: Chapters 1-10 Lessons from the life of Abraham: Genesis 22 Lessons from the teachings of Jesus: Luke 14:25-35 Lessons from the Apostle Paul: Romans 12:1 II. What motivates great Christians to make great sacrifices? They grasp God’s unconditional love. They embrace God’s relational economy. They trust God’s eternal goodness. They recognize God’s sovereign ownership. III. Next steps to becoming great in God’s eyes: Have you surrendered your whole life to Christ as a living and holy sacrifice? Are you growing in loving God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength? Conclusion – Sacrifice is merely “love with clothes on.” Where there is great love there will always be great sacrifices.

In a global atmosphere of division and rancor, how do Christians live like Christians? How do we express love and concern, and overcome even our own anger and bitterness? In this program, Chip tells us, apart from the saving grace and sovereign influence of Jesus, nothing of lasting value can happen. From the book of Matthew and Jesus’ own teaching, Chip reveals the path to becoming a relational bridge-builder, regardless of our circumstances.Main Points Topic #1 - The 6th Commandment No murder by violent hands - Matthew 5:21 No murder by angry hearts or lethal lips - Matthew 5:22 Jesus' application: The parable of priority: right relationships trump religious requirements every time. The parable of urgency: delayed obedience will result in dire consequences. Steps to humble bridge-building: Do you have anger, bitterness, or resentment toward anyone, past or present? Have you murdered anyone in your heart or with your lips? Will you confess this sin right now and receive God’s full forgiveness? Can you think of anyone who might feel angry or resentful towards you? Will you commit to make that relationship right “as far as it depends on you”? Will you STOP and thank God for His love and kindness and blessings in your life right now?

Division, hate, and violence, don’t start with words. They begin in the heart. The disunity we see happening in our country and around the world - in homes, on the streets, and in the media - is ultimately caused by a driving force who’s aim is for that disunity to prevail. Scripture tells us our battle isn’t against flesh and blood. So, how do we become humble bridge-builders in the midst of the conflict? Chip addresses that in this program.Main Points Topic #1 - The 6th Commandment No murder by violent hands - Matthew 5:21 No murder by angry hearts or lethal lips - Matthew 5:22 Jesus' application: The parable of priority: right relationships trump religious requirements every time.

These days, there are plenty of causes and no shortage of agendas. Experts are everywhere and everyone’s got an opinion. In this program, Chip asks: What’s Jesus’ opinion about what’s happening and what’s His expert advice?

Leads to attitudes of: anger, despair, abandonment End in: self-medicating, over-spending, acting out, addiction, isolation, etc. God’s filter (truth): You’re not alone It’s intended for your good Attitude: big step of faith to “consider it all joy” Action: don’t give up (persevere) Broadcast Resource Download Free MP3 Message Notes Additional Resource Mentions "Not Beyond Reach" Small Group Study About Chip Ingram Chip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.

As a follower of Jesus, what should you do if you are invited to a wedding for a same-sex couple? What if someone asks you to use their personal pronouns? In this program, Chip and Pastor Tim Lundy continue wrestling with these real-life challenges that Christians face. Learn how to practically apply the truth and wisdom of God’s Word in your home, workplace, and community.Main Points Purpose of Addressing Controversial Issues: Tim's Motivation: Tim's engagement with heavy issues like sexuality and LGBTQ topics is driven by pastoral concern rather than a desire for controversy. He sees a need to address these issues due to the prevalence of false teachings and questions from families and teenagers. His goal is to shepherd families and present truth in a straightforward manner. Handling Difficult Conversations with Children: Listening and Grace: Tim emphasizes the importance of listening to children who come out as LGBTQ. Parents should create a space where their children feel heard, and they should express love and support while balancing grace with truth. He stresses that while the church and the family have a responsibility to uphold Biblical truth, they must also navigate the tension between their beliefs and their children's identities with grace. Understanding and Communicating the Gospel: Gospel’s Radical Grace: Tim explains that the Gospel is about Christ's grace despite our sin. He argues that salvation is not about moral perfection but about the transformative work of Christ. The question of whether LGBTQ individuals can be Christians should be framed in the context of the broader Gospel message, which applies to all sin, not just homosexuality. No Barriers, No Compromise: Tim advocates for no barriers to coming to Christ, meaning people should not be expected to "clean up" their lives before embracing the Gospel. However, he also stresses the importance of not compromising on Biblical teachings and encouraging growth in righteousness. Feedback and Reactions: Mixed Reactions: Tim received feedback from different sides of the spectrum. Some felt his approach endorsed LGBTQ lifestyles, while others were uncomfortable with his stance on not compromising on moral issues. He views this pushback as an indication of addressing the issues clearly and effectively. Broader Context of Sin and the Church’s Focus: Consistency in Addressing Sin: Tim and Chip discuss the Church's tendency to focus on certain sins, like homosexuality, while neglecting others, such as pornography or adultery. They stress the need for a consistent approach to all forms of sin, emphasizing that all sin separates people from God and that the Gospel offers restoration to all. Attending a Gay Wedding: Gray Area: The question of whether to attend a gay wedding is seen as a gray area rather than black and white. Tim suggests that while the Bible is not explicitly clear on this issue, principles from passages like Romans 14-16 about gray areas in faith should be applied. Conscience and Relationship: Decisions should be guided by one's conscience and the nature of the relationship. Some Christians may attend a wedding as a gesture of love and maintaining a relationship, while others may choose not to if it seems to endorse the union as a Christian marriage. Objective: The focus should be on whether attending is for the sake of the Gospel or to avoid family tension. The intention should be clear and genuine, not just about making peace. Using Personal Pronouns for Transitioning People: Cultural Impact: Some view using preferred pronouns as supporting a cultural shift that they believe distorts truth. Others, particularly in therapeutic settings, see respecting pronouns as a way to build trust with those experiencing gender dysphoria. Context Matters: In professional settings, Christians may need to navigate these issues carefully, balancing their beliefs with their role as salt and light in the workplace. Tim suggests using names instead of pronouns as a middle ground while remaining respectful. Hosting a Gay Couple Overnight: Consistency: It's important to be consistent with biblical standards. If you apply a standard for gay couples, ensure the same standard applies to heterosexual situations. Teaching Children: Explain your stance to children appropriately, helping them understand why certain behaviors are not accepted while showing love to those who differ. Pornography: Destructive Nature: Pornography is described as highly destructive, affecting mental health and relationships deeply. It has the same addictive properties as drugs and causes significant harm to marriages and individual well-being. Need for Help: Overcoming pornography addiction typically requires external help and community support. Tim emphasizes the importance of not facing this struggle alone and highlights church programs like Warrior Men and Journey Women that offer support. General Encouragement: Cultural Challenges: Despite the fast-changing cultural landscape, Christians should not be afraid. Historical examples show that faith can thrive in countercultural settings. Hope and Grace: Emphasis is placed on the availability of God's grace and the importance of seeking help, especially when dealing with heavy burdens like addiction.

Is gender a fluid concept or a fixed statement? Are you born a man or a woman, or do you get to choose? In this program, guest teacher Pastor Tim Lundy looks to Scripture for answers to these questions that so many people in society are wrestling with. Hear why a Bible-based sexual ethic offers hope and genuine love from a God who made men and women in His image.Main Points Introduction: As Christians, our approach to sex and gender must be marked by grace and truth. When approaching transgender issues, we protect against the ideology while still caring about the individual. -John 10:11-12; Luke 15:4 Understanding the terms: Sex: Refers to a person’s biological status and is typically categorized as male, female, or intersex. Gender: The psychological, social, and cultural aspects of being male or female. Gender Dysphoria: Distress some people feel when their internal sense of self doesn’t match their biological sex. (Early onset, Late / Adolescent onset, and Rapid onset gender dysphoria) Transgender: An umbrella term that describes people whose gender identity or expression does not match the sex they were assigned at birth. What does the Bible say? (Sprinkle, pages 63-77) The body is essential to our image-bearing status. -Genesis 1:27 Male and female in Genesis 1 are categories of sex, not gender. -Genesis 1:28a Adam and Eve’s bodies are viewed as sacred. -Genesis 2:21-22 Jesus views Genesis 1-2 as normative. -Matthew 19:4-5 Paul sees the body as significant for moral behavior and correlates the body to personhood. -1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Romans 6:13 Scripture prohibits cross-sex behavior. -Deuteronomy 22:5; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 The incarnation of Christ affirms the goodness of our sexed embodiment. -Colossians 2:9 Sex difference probably remains after the resurrection. -Luke 20:35-36; Romans 8:11; 1 John 3:2 Jesus’ acceptance of the eunuch is not a pattern for understanding gender identity. -Matthew 19:12 Paul’s reference to neither “male or female” does not overturn sex differences. -Galatians 3:28 Summary points and next steps: Biological sex and gender are linked together and important to God’s design. Instead of transitioning, we should help people accept their bodies as part of their God-given identity. Recognize the unique struggle for Christians who suffer with Gender Dysphoria. As a church, we must strive to create a safe place where all people can find and follow Jesus. Avoid defining gender according to stereotypes and embrace the diversityof expression in God’s design. We must confront the lies of the current ideology because it is destroying lives. We must never lose sight of the individual that Christ loves no matter how their lives have been impacted by sin.

Male. Female. Gender. What do these terms mean in the context of our changing society? In this program, guest teacher Pastor Tim Lundy focuses on the newest and probably most complicated aspect of today’s sexual ethic: transgenderism. Hear what the Bible says about this pressing issue that is impacting countless families everywhere.Main Points Introduction: As Christians, our approach to sex and gender must be marked by grace and truth.

Many throughout culture and even some in the Church believe the Bible has a passive or neutral opinion about homosexuality. But is that really true? In this program, Chip continues his interview with apologist Rebecca McLaughlin, author of the book “Does the Bible Affirm Same-Sex Relationships?” They walk through key biblical evidence that settles this debate - once and for all.Main Points Introduction and Work: Rebecca McLaughlin is a best-selling author and PhD from Cambridge, known for her work on apologetics and controversial Church issues. Her latest book is Does the Bible Affirm Same-Sex Relationships? Faith Journey and Challenges: Grew up in a church-going family in London and has been a follower of Jesus since childhood. Faced challenges to her Christian beliefs during her academic journey, especially on sexual ethics. Experienced same-sex attraction from an early age, openly discussed in her mid-thirties. Biblical Perspective and Sexual Ethics: Argues the Bible does not support same-sex sexual relationships, linking marriage and sexuality to the gospel message. Emphasizes the importance of addressing sexual ethics for understanding Christian teachings. Points out the New Testament’s serious stance on sexual immorality and the symbolic nature of marriage in the Bible. Countering Common Claims: Rebecca argues that the Bible offers an inclusive vision of love among believers, distinct from romantic or sexual love. She contrasts the emotional appeal of same-sex relationships with the biblical command for non-sexual, brotherly/sisterly love. Christian Love and Relationships: Emphasizes that Christian love is deeply committed and inclusive, but not sexual. Highlights the significance of Christian fellowship as a fulfilling relational aspect of faith. Understanding Biblical Sexual Ethics: Counters the belief that the Bible only prohibits exploitative relationships by examining biblical language and context. Explains that Paul’s terminology and cultural context indicate a broad condemnation of same-sex relationships, not limited to exploitative ones. Understanding Romans 1 and Gospel Integration: Romans 1 highlights various sins, including same-sex relationships, to show the universal need for Jesus and redemption. Biblical texts condemning same-sex relations often emphasize redemption and grace, as seen in Paul’s letters. Christian Humility and Jesus’ Teachings: Christians should approach discussions on sin with humility, recognizing everyone’s need for redemption. Jesus’ teachings on sexual ethics focus on deeper heart issues and the need for a savior, not just moral compliance. God’s Boundaries and Fulfillment: God’s commands, even if restrictive, are for our good and lead to deeper fulfillment. Staying true to God’s Word may bring short-term discomfort but results in long-term joy and benefits. Marriage and Ultimate Fulfillment: Marriage is valuable but not the ultimate source of fulfillment. True satisfaction comes from a relationship with Jesus, offering a love beyond human capacity. Addressing Same-Sex Attraction and Identity: Same-sex attraction does not define one’s identity or indicate a fixed orientation. Encourages open dialogue and understanding, distinguishing between attraction and identity. Supporting Those with Same-Sex Attractions: Seek supportive Christian friends who uphold biblical truth and offer genuine love. True friendship involves helping each other adhere to God’s Word, not compromising for comfort.

Has the Church been clinging to outdated standards regarding those in the gay and lesbian community? Or have Christians gone too far in accepting and affirming these lifestyles? In this program, Chip interviews prominent author and apologist Rebecca McLaughlin about this topic. They discuss some of the popular claims society makes about Scripture and sexuality against what the Bible actually says.Main Points Introduction and Work: Rebecca McLaughlin is a best-selling author and PhD from Cambridge, known for her work on apologetics and controversial Church issues.

She contrasts the emotional appeal of same-sex relationships with the biblical command for non-sexual, brotherly/sisterly love. Christian Love and Relationships: Emphasizes that Christian love is deeply committed and inclusive, but not sexual. Highlights the significance of Christian fellowship as a fulfilling relational aspect of faith. Understanding Biblical Sexual Ethics: Counters the belief that the Bible only prohibits exploitative relationships by examining biblical language and context. Explains that Paul’s terminology and cultural context indicate a broad condemnation of same-sex relationships, not limited to exploitative ones. Understanding Romans 1 and Gospel Integration: Romans 1 highlights various sins, including same-sex relationships, to show the universal need for Jesus and redemption. Biblical texts condemning same-sex relations often emphasize redemption and grace, as seen in Paul’s letters. Christian Humility and Jesus’ Teachings: Christians should approach discussions on sin with humility, recognizing everyone’s need for redemption. Jesus’ teachings on sexual ethics focus on deeper heart issues and the need for a savior, not just moral compliance. God’s Boundaries and Fulfillment: God’s commands, even if restrictive, are for our good and lead to deeper fulfillment. Staying true to God’s Word may bring short-term discomfort but results in long-term joy and benefits. Marriage and Ultimate Fulfillment: Marriage is valuable but not the ultimate source of fulfillment. True satisfaction comes from a relationship with Jesus, offering a love beyond human capacity. Addressing Same-Sex Attraction and Identity: Same-sex attraction does not define one’s identity or indicate a fixed orientation. Encourages open dialogue and understanding, distinguishing between attraction and identity. Supporting Those with Same-Sex Attractions: Seek supportive Christian friends who uphold biblical truth and offer genuine love. True friendship involves helping each other adhere to God’s Word, not compromising for comfort.

The 21st-century church has become so divided over the issue of homosexuality. Whole denominations of Christians have split apart about whether to include or exclude same-sex couples. So, in this program, guest teacher Pastor Tim Lundy goes to the Bible for clarity. He also talks to those struggling with same-sex attractions and encourages the body of Christ to better respond to those in the gay and lesbian community.Main Points 7 Places in Scripture where homosexuality is mentioned: Rescue of Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah. -Genesis 19 Levite and his concubine. -Judges 19 Leviticus 18:22 Leviticus 20:13 Understanding the Law today (Moral – Civil – Ceremonial) Romans 1:26-27 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 1 Timothy 1:8-11 Summary from the passages: Sexual intimacy between same-sex partners is condemned in the direct passages of Scripture. Sexual intimacy between same-sex partners is never portrayed in a positivelight in the Bible. There is no Biblical warrantfor same-sex marriage. If homosexuality is not permitted biblically, then why are some people attracted to the same sex? Christian and secular experts continue to grapple with the issue of causality. The impact of the fall cannot be underestimated in the ways it has shaped humanity. -Romans 5:12 Is it sinful to have same-sex desires? God never tempts us – It always comes from the world, the flesh, and the devil. Jesus was tempted as we are, so temptationis not sin. -Hebrews 4:15 When we allow our desire to cross the line to thoughts or actions contrary to God’s design, we have sinned. -James 1:13-15 How have Christians with same-sex desires chosen to live out their faith? Celibacy: A choice of devotion to Christ. Marriage (Heterosexual): A choice of self-denial for Christ. Kinship Partnerships: Nonsexual intimacy with others. Transformation: Nothing is impossible with God. How should we respond as a church? We can love all people knowing that it is not our responsibility to judge them. -1 Corinthians 5:9-10, 12 In the context of relationship, ask: “May I introduce you to Jesus?” We must continue to speak the truth in love to those in the church, calling all of us to the sexual standards of Scripture. We must support and celebrateour brothers and sisters in Christ who struggle with same-sex attraction, but are choosing to pattern their lives according to Scripture. We must develop a more robust understanding and celebration of single adults in the church. We must open our homes and families to those who are longing for community and were promised it in the church.

We all know from Genesis 1 that God created the world and called all He made good. But not many of us remember that God also put human beings in charge of caring for creation. In this program, Chip continues challenging how Christians should think about the environment. Learn why Scripture proves God cares about our world and why we should, too!Main Points The Question: How are followers of Christ to think, act, and respond to the controversial issue of the environment?

Is global warming true? Is the Earth our sacred Mother? Are human beings responsible for “messing up” the world? In this program, Chip considers these questions from a biblical perspective. While this issue may seem unimportant, Chip reveals that God has some pretty direct things to say about His creation and our responsibilities to care for it.Main Points The Question: How are followers of Christ to think, act, and respond to the controversial issue of the environment?

It has been said that politics and religion are the two things you never talk about in public. But in this program, Chip dives head first into the tension between these topics by asking: do followers of Jesus have a role to play in the world of politics?

Are you concerned about your community and church as values and morality continue to shift away from the truth of Scripture? In this program, Chip begins a critical series to help Christians use the light of God’s Word to confront today’s most critical issues, without being combative or defensive. Learn why our call to be salt and light is needed now more than ever.Main Points Personal Story of Confrontation: Chip recounts a pivotal moment in his family's life when his mother intervened with his alcoholic father. Her decisive action—giving him an ultimatum—led to his sobriety and eventual transformation. This personal story underscores the importance of confronting issues with care and clarity. Call to Action for Christians: Chip highlights a contemporary issue where many Christians remain silent on controversial topics out of fear or a desire to avoid conflict. The message is clear: Christians need to be more vocal and courageous in addressing critical issues like politics, climate change, and LGBTQ+ matters, rather than remaining passive. Historical Context and Church Role: Reflecting on past experiences in a progressive city and the impact of the book Culture Shock, Chip emphasizes the importance of understanding and communicating truth in a respectful manner. Chip advocates for addressing controversial issues with both grace and truth, grounded in biblical principles. The Importance of Light Over Heat: Chip argues that Christians should bring light, not heat, to conversations about divisive issues. This means presenting truth with compassion and respect, rather than judgment or condemnation. Need for Internal Reflection: Before addressing external issues, Christians must first examine and address their own shortcomings and hypocrisies. Chip stresses that judgment begins with the house of God and that Christians should live out their faith authentically. Emphasis on Jesus’ Teachings: Drawing on biblical teachings, particularly from the Sermon on the Mount, Chip urges Christians to stand firm in righteousness, even if it leads to persecution.

It has been said that that which is built in the flesh is maintained by the flesh, but that which is built in the Spirit is maintained by the Spirit. So, what does that phrase mean? In this program, Chip Ingram will explore that answer as he interviews his close friend and marketplace leader, Gregg Dedrick. Join us as we learn through Gregg’s life story how to build your life on God instead of chasing after earthly fulfillment.Main Points Building in the Flesh vs. Building in the Spirit: Building in the Flesh: Attempting to live the Christian life through personal effort, willpower, and self-sufficiency, which often leads to burnout and discouragement. Building in the Spirit: Surrendering to God and partnering with Him, which leads to a more fulfilling and sustainable Christian life. Gregg Dedrick’s Journey: Corporate Success: Gregg achieved significant success in the corporate world, including roles as chief people officer and president of KFC. Burnout: Despite his achievements, he experienced burnout in both business and ministry, feeling that there had to be more to life than what he was experiencing. The Turning Point: Surrender: Gregg's journey began with a surrender to God, recognizing his own self-sufficiency and the need for divine help. Intimacy with God: He realized that his faith had become more of a code of ethics rather than a genuine relationship with God. This led him to explore a deeper intimacy with God. Key Insights: Adoration Prayer: Gregg discovered adoration prayer as a way to build intimacy with God, focusing on loving God for who He is rather than for what He does. Misplaced Identity: He acknowledged that his identity and relationship with God had been performance-based, leading to a shaky and conditional relationship with God. Transformation and Impact: Shift from Devotion to Discipline: He transitioned from a focus on performing religious duties to a disciplined approach to devotion that opened his heart to God. Impact on Relationships: This new understanding improved his relationships, including his marriage, by fostering a deeper and more genuine connection with others. Practical Application: Partnership with God: Building in the Spirit involves partnering with God rather than relying solely on one's own efforts. This approach leads to a more authentic and fulfilling spiritual life. Book Recommendation: "Building in the Spirit: Discovering the Life God Destined for You": Gregg’s experiences and insights are detailed in this book, which is recommended for those who feel burned out or are struggling with a performance-based faith. Final Thoughts: Working from Value: Understanding that God’s love and validation are the foundation of our work and partnership with Him brings joy and removes the pressure of performance.

What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit? And, perhaps more importantly, how do you get filled with the Holy Spirit? What’s the process? Chip explains what it means and what it does NOT mean.Main Points Clarifying the terminology: Baptism does not equal Filling: The Baptism of the Spirit - “The non-experiential, unrepeated work of the Holy Spirit at regeneration whereby we are placed into the Body of Christ.” F.F. Bruce -Acts 2, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Romans 8:9 The Filling of the Spirit - “The unobstructed, or unhindered, control or influence of the Spirit upon the believer’s life.” C. Ryrie -Acts 2:4, 4:8, 4:31, 6:3, 6:5, 6:55, 9:17, 11:24, 13:9, 13:52 Four principles to remember: The issue is not getting more of the Holy Spirit, it’s Him getting more of you. We are never told to seek an experience or gift as evidence of being filled with the Holy Spirit. The conditions for being filled are: Obedience, dedication, yieldedness to God and His Word. -Romans 12:1-2, Undefeated life (dealing with known sin) -Romans 6:12-13, Dependent life -John 15, Galatians 5:16 The key perspective: It is relationship, not mechanical.

When people talk about hearing God’s voice and exploring the Bible, have you thought, “I want that too, but I am too old” or “I am not smart enough?” Well, in this program, Chip has some much-needed encouragement for you as he continues his series, Going Deeper. Hear how to have genuine closeness with God as Chip studies the life and faith of Moses.Main Points Moses’ Story Born during a time of peril: The children of Israel were being persecuted by Pharaoh. Adopted into an Egyptian family: Raised in a secular environment, yet he was exposed to his Hebrew roots. Despite his privileged life, he comes to a point where he asks, “what’s life really about?” He made mistakes, such as killing an Egyptian, which led to his fleeing and living as a shepherd for forty years. After leaving Egypt, Moses feels a deep sense of unworthiness, inability, and inadequacy. God wants to walk with you step-by-step He wants you to know His will. He wants you to enjoy His presence. He wants to guide and direct you. Walking with God It’s never too late, you’re never too old; God wants to walk with you and use you for His glory. When you stop walking with God you get what you can produce, but when you walk with God you get what He wants to produce in and through you. When you walk with God it can sometimes be lonely and difficult, but He’ll fulfill His good work in us. -Philippians 1:6 Takeaway: You need to ask God for a passion, not just to get good things from Him, but to actually know what He’s like.

Can you imagine… you…actually saving a child’s life? And you don’t need to go anywhere, or complete any special training. In this program, Chip interviews Joe Knittig from the Global Orphan Project. Joe describes the widespread poverty tearing families apart and shares a very simple way believers can meet these needs in their own backyard.Main PointsPurpose and Importance of CarePortal:CarePortal is a platform designed to connect local churches with the needs of children and families in crisis, helping them avoid entering the foster care system. It provides a way for community members to address these needs in real-time.Joe Knittig’s Background:Joe Knittig had a troubled upbringing but was later transformed by his faith and became a trial lawyer. He and his wife decided to focus on supporting children and families in need, which led to their involvement in CarePortal.Child Welfare Crisis:In the U.S., over four million children annually face issues that bring them to the doorstep of the foster care system. More than 400,000 are in foster care, and over 100,000 are immediately adoptable. The crisis affects families across various communities, and the system is overwhelmed.CarePortal’s Mechanism:CarePortal acts as a "sharing platform" similar to Uber or Airbnb but for child welfare needs. Social workers and child protective services input needs into CarePortal, and local churches are then notified. Churches can choose to meet these needs, which could be anything from providing beds to assisting with rent.Impact and Growth:Since its inception in 2015 in Austin, Texas, CarePortal has expanded to 22 states and involves over 2,400 churches. It has helped over 82,000 children, with the number growing daily.Relational Approach:The goal is not only to provide transactional help but also to create relational connections between churches and families. This approach helps build community and support around children and families in crisis.Prevention vs. Intervention:CarePortal addresses both prevention (helping families before they enter the foster care system) and intervention (assisting those already in the system). This dual approach aims to reduce the need for foster care placements and support reunification.Statistics and Outcomes:Children who enter foster care often face poor outcomes, including higher rates of incarceration, homelessness, and involvement in sex trafficking. Preventing their entry into the system can significantly improve their future prospects.Getting Involved:Individuals interested in helping can visit CarePortal.org, select their role, and start contributing. The platform is designed to be intuitive and accessible for anyone willing to make a difference.The Church’s Role:The Church’s involvement can lead to significant systemic change and healing within communities. The Church can act as a unifying force to tackle the foster care crisis and support children and families effectively.Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3 About Chip IngramChip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.
