The Steve Marston Show

SMS Opening Statement, Steve Schwartz, Action Bible, Josh Gormely, Phil Robertson video

What happens when your child starts asking hard questions about faith—and you have to learn to let go? Steve opens the week with a deeply personal conversation about his 20-year-old daughter’s desire to explore her faith beyond the denomination she was raised in, and why honest questions are not something to fear. Along the way, listeners are encouraged to seek truth, trust God’s guidance, and allow faith to become personal rather than inherited.
The show also features powerful listener testimonies in Your Story, His Glory, highlighting lives transformed by Jesus at every stage of life. Evangelist and pastor Brady Weldon joins the program to unpack his “four brutal truths” about being a bridge builder—what it really costs to stand in the gap for reconciliation, unity, and the gospel. The episode wraps with Scripture encouragement, practical faith-building tools, and reminders that God is our refuge and strength in every season.

Fun Friday Faith Check: Abuse, Culture, and Living Out What We Believe -January 9, 2026

On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve takes listeners into a thoughtful, honest conversation about forgiveness—what it truly means and why it matters when life hurts the most. Sparked by the public revelation of Philip Yancey’s long-term affair and the powerful response from his wife after 55 years of marriage, Steve unpacks biblical forgiveness as a process, not a pass, and explains why choosing forgiveness protects the heart from bitterness and despair.

The episode also features an in-depth conversation with licensed Christian counselor Tabitha Westbrook about her candid interview with pastor Matt Chandler, addressing abuse, repentance, church leadership failures, and what real accountability and healing should look like in the church. Along the way, Steve mixes in encouragement, listener stories, dad jokes, faith-driven news about Tim Tebow’s ministry to special needs families and caregivers, and practical resources to help listeners grow closer to God.

This is a real-world, grace-filled episode for anyone wrestling with betrayal, trauma, forgiveness, and the daily challenge of following Jesus.
