In fact, having healthy conflict can be a good thing, a vehicle of growth!

What does it mean to fear the Lord? Godly fear is not the same as human fear. Our human fear makes us want to run away, while the fear of the Lord draws us closer.

The Fear of the Lord - April 2024 - Today in the Word

Are we looking mostly to please God or ourselves? The myth of Narcissus describes a young man who dies because he falls in love with his own reflection. When we are surrounded by messages of contemporary society like "you've got to believe in yourself!" we need to listen to a Bible teacher from a past age who can drag us back to reflecting less on ourselves and more on God. Tuesday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, our new teaching pastor, Dr. Josh Moody calls us to listen to Edwards in order that we might stop living for ourselves and start living "the God-centered life." The God-Centered Life - with Pastor Josh Moody

Most of us know the right things to do with finances. We know we need to live within a budget, prioritize giving and saving, and avoid debt...so why is there so often a gap between our knowledge and our actions?

Tuesday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Callie Picardo joins us to talk about a new book she and her husband co-authored that paves the way to financial freedom through reflection and Biblical guidance.

Let The Characters of Easter lead your soul to rejoice with that ancient cry, "He is risen indeed!"

What's so Good about Good Friday? When we think about commemorating a day remembering Jesus's suffering and death on the cross, why do we call it "Good?" On Friday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Pastor Jimmy Scroggins of Family Church Radio tackles this topic during Holy Week. For the gospel's good news to have meaning for us, we first have to understand the bad news of our condition as sinful people. The wrath of God against sin had to be poured out on Jesus, the perfect sacrificial substitute, for forgiveness and salvation to be poured out to redeem the world from bondage.

Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus, and compounding this is the failure of most churches to grow their followers' faith beyond a Sunday school understanding. On Friday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, New Testament Scholar, Dr. Jeremiah Johnston looks at the 7 best reasons to believe in the resurrection of Jesus--and why it matters today. In his new 4-session bible study book, Body of Proof, Jeremiah Johnston sets out to show why Jesus' victory over death is central to a believer's faith.

Our culture has been lying to women. The world defines female empowerment as believing in yourself or looking within to find the power to succeed. But what happens when women grow weary from trying to do it all? Jesus offers a better way. Wednesday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, author Becky Beresford used to believe and even promoted some of society’s lies to women. But in God’s kindness, she came to the end of herself and embraced healing truth found in the Bible. Becky tells us, "Contrary to what you’ve been told, true female empowerment doesn’t start with a woman. It starts with a man, and His name is Jesus Christ." 

Life is unpredictable, and the world is unstable. Even in our personal lives, none of us knows what will happen next—which is why God gave us the book of Philippians. Philippians is one of the most practical books of the Bible, having just over 100 verses and 31 short chapters. Wednesday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, author, speaker, and Bible teacher, Robert J. Morgan tells us that as Paul wrote Philippians from a prison cell, he knew one thing. Whatever happened, he was going to stand firm in his faith and live a life worthy of the gospel. And no matter what we are going through today, we can do the same.

Monday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, financial expert Glenn Zimmerman joins us to talk about "fighting the tendency to spend more". This is the idea that we are pushed all the time to buy something more, something newer, something bigger, etc. As Christians we need to remind ourselves of the Scriptural principles regarding spending and possessions. Newer isn't always better. And bigger can sometimes lead to bigger problems. Glenn will discuss with us some practical tips to fight this tendency.
