Where should Christians draw the line between Christian liberty and Christian witness?

On today’s Steve Marston Show, Steve tackles a potentially controversial question after seeing an advertisement for a Bible study being held at a local brewhouse. Is meeting people where they are a creative way to share the Gospel—or can trying to make Christianity more appealing to the culture ultimately dilute its message?

Steve discusses alcohol, personal conviction, Christian freedom, our influence on other believers, and why having the freedom to do something doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the wisest choice. Ultimately, believers must seek God’s direction while also allowing room for other Christians to follow their own convictions.

Plus, Seek & Find takes us into the book of Micah, including judgment, restoration, the prophecy of the coming ruler from Bethlehem, Micah 6:8, and the incredible picture of God’s mercy found in Micah 7:19.

Steve also revisits his conversation with Christian recording artist Nicole Lauren, whose unexpected journey into Christian music began when she was discovered while serving on her church worship team. Nicole shares how God led her into songwriting, the story behind her song “My Good Shepherd,” and how difficult seasons strengthened her dependence on Christ.
Also on the show: stories about Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy’s baptisms, Lila Rose standing firm on her pro-life message, and legendary guitarist Phil Keaggy’s decision to prioritize faith and family over greater fame and career opportunities.

And, of course, there’s a dad joke and Faith Between Your Ears, as we continue memorizing 1 Corinthians 2:9.

Bible, Brews & Christian Liberty: Where Should Believers Draw the Line? - August 19, 2026

Can Christians really defend the Bible with evidence—or does following Jesus require believing without asking hard questions?

On today’s Steve Marston Show, Steve responds to astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson’s argument that he is “evidence driven more than faith driven.” Rather than running from the challenge, Steve argues that Christians should be prepared to explain why they believe what they believe and why biblical faith is not the same thing as turning off your brain.

We also tackle one of the biggest myths about Scripture: Has the Bible been changed over the centuries? Was it passed down like a giant game of telephone until the original message was lost? Steve discusses ancient manuscripts, the original biblical languages, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and why Christians can have confidence that the Bible they read today reliably represents the Scriptures handed down through history.

Then Pastor Kody Price joins the show for an encouraging conversation about the realities of bivocational ministry. Kody shares his journey from sensing a call to pastoral ministry as a child to planting a church and balancing a full-time job, ministry, marriage and four children. His perspective on priorities is powerful: ministry matters, but a pastor cannot sacrifice his wife and children trying to do everything for everyone.
Kody also shares the difficult early years of planting a church—from meeting with only his family to watching God slowly grow the congregation. His reminder to discouraged pastors and Christians is one worth remembering:

In the Kingdom of God, success isn't always measured in thousands. Sometimes it's counted one person at a time.
Plus, Steve looks at The Chosen Season 6, a 47-year-old pastor returning to play college football, an incredible faith-filled moment from the Little League World Series, and—of course—the Dad Joke of the Day.

Finally, Your Next Step is simple: become an apologist. Not someone who apologizes for Christianity, but someone who knows what they believe, understands why they believe it, and is prepared to give others a reason for the hope they have.

Can You Prove the Bible Is True? Faith, Evidence & Knowing Why You Believe - August 18, 2026

Can revival really happen again—and if so, what is keeping the Church from experiencing it?

Pastor, author and apologist Joe Manning joins Steve to discuss why revival always begins with prayer, repentance and a renewed commitment to God’s Word. They examine how culture can influence the Church, why some Christians distort Scripture to support personal desires, and how believers can confidently defend the truth of the Bible.

Steve also encourages Christians who feel intimidated by Bible study to stop believing that Scripture is too difficult to understand. You don’t need a special degree to know God through His Word—you simply need the willingness to open the Bible, ask God for understanding and begin.

Also in this episode:
What Paul meant by becoming “all things to all people”
Why Christians should meet people where they are
The connection between idolatry and sexual immorality
Why we shouldn’t give up when prayers seem unanswered
How revival begins with personal repentance
The importance of pastors rightly dividing God’s Word
Encouraging news about the release of missionary Kevin Rideout
How churches can help parents protect children from pornography
This week’s “Faith Between Our Ears” verse: 1 Corinthians 2:9
A ceiling-fan dad joke that may take a second to land
