Fatherhood by God's Design
#141
06/16/2026

What makes a real father?

In this Father's Day message, David Hill reflects on the lasting influence of a Christian father and God's design for fatherhood. Fathers are called to be more than providers—they are spiritual leaders who guide their families in the ways of the Lord.

The world needs Christian fathers. The church needs Christian fathers. Strong homes are built when fathers lead as God intended.

Can We Know the Truth?
Can We Know the Truth? episode artwork
#139
06/04/2026

Before podcasts and social media, One Gospel Minute was a radio voice reaching listeners with simple, biblical truth. In this Throwback Thursday archive episode, Tennessee Bible College founder Malcolm Hill asks an important question: Can we truly know what is right and wrong in religion?

Many trust feelings, friends, or family traditions, but this message points listeners back to the only true standard — the Word of God. From John 17:17, Malcolm Hill reminds us that God’s truth is not uncertain or unknowable.

Follow the truth that saves.

The Cost of Freedom
#137
05/19/2026

Freedom has never come without sacrifice. Throughout the history of this nation, countless men and women have willingly laid down their lives so others might live in liberty. On this Memorial Day episode, we honor those sacrifices while remembering the greater freedom found in Jesus Christ, who gave His life “a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). As we reflect on the blessings we enjoy, may we never take for granted the cost of freedom—both as Americans and as Christians.

Mom Matters
#135
05/05/2026

In a world that often overlooks the home, one truth remains: moms matter. God designed motherhood with purpose, giving women a powerful role in shaping lives and faith.

A godly mother influences generations—teaching, guiding, and pointing her family to God. Scripture shows the lasting impact of faithful mothers and the void left when that influence is gone.

If we want strong homes and a faithful future, we need Christian mothers.

The Truth That Sets You Free
#133
04/21/2026

In a world full of opinions, feelings, and shifting ideas, one question still matters: What is truth? While many treat truth as something personal or flexible, God’s word stands as the unchanging standard.

Truth is not what we think or feel—it is what God has revealed. His word will not only guide us, but it will also judge us in the last day. If we want to be set free, we must seek the truth where it is found—in the Word of God.

The Profession That Saves the World
#132
04/14/2026

People often look to professions, platforms, and personalities to change the world, but when God set out to save mankind, He chose something far simpler—He sent a preacher. Jesus came declaring the good news, teaching the saving message of God in its simplicity. While man has complicated that message over time, the truth has not changed. The Gospel is still the power of God to save, and it’s time to get back to the basics.

The Right Birthplace

#131
04/09/2026

The New Testament church did not begin just anywhere—it began exactly where God said it would. In this episode, Malcolm Hill points us back to Isaiah’s prophecy and its fulfillment in Acts 2, showing that the church established in Jerusalem is the church we read about in the Bible. If we want the right church, we must begin in the right place.

This throwback episode is a tribute to Malcolm Hill, founder of Tennessee Bible College and the original voice of One Gospel Minute. Though he has passed on, his faithful preaching continues to inspire and...


Why Every Sunday Should Be Like Easter
#130
03/31/2026

Two times a year, the world talks about Jesus—Easter and Christmas—but the truth about remembering Him is not found in tradition. It is revealed in His word. While many observe a yearly celebration of the resurrection, the New Testament does not teach it. Instead, it points to a weekly remembrance of the risen Savior every first day of the week. To misunderstand how and when we honor Christ is to miss what Scripture plainly reveals about worship, the resurrection, and the Gospel itself.

The Attributes of God
#129
03/24/2026

Many people have ideas about what God is like, but the truth is not found in human opinion—it is revealed in His word. The Bible teaches that God is eternal, unchanging, and far above the shifting thoughts of men. To misunderstand God is to misunderstand everything that follows, including life, suffering, and salvation.

Rather than shaping God into what we want Him to be, we are called to know Him as He truly is. Tennessee Bible College is offering an After Dark course, The Attributes of God, to help you study these truths more deeply an...


Something New
#128
03/17/2026

People often search for something new, even in matters of worship and service to God. In ancient Athens, people spent their time wanting to hear the latest idea, and our world is much the same today. Yet God has already given us what we need through His word and warns us not to add to it or take away from it. Instead of changing God’s doctrine or the practices He has revealed, we are called to follow His will faithfully and live according to the truth He has given.

The Battle Never Left—RENEW: My Responsibility
#124
02/19/2026

Social media says 2026 feels like 2016 again. In 2016, at our RENEW Lectureship, the theme was “Revisiting the Battle…” as we studied the struggle with modernism, denominationalism, moral impurity, and false doctrine — but the truth is, the battle never left. And in 2026, the question isn’t just what are we fighting? It’s who is responsible? Romans 13:14 says, “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ.” The battle is real, but responsibility is personal. 

Join us for RENEW 2026: “My Responsibility” (Romans 13:8–14) on February 28 at Tennessee Bible College, and view the full schedule and details at https://www.tn-biblecollege.edu/renew/.

Lessons From the Snow
#122
02/03/2026

Snow is more than a weather event—it’s a reminder of God’s wisdom, care, and design. Scripture speaks often of snow, pointing us to God’s power in creation, His provision for the earth, the importance of preparation, and the promise of purity through forgiveness. From the book of Job to Isaiah and the Psalms, even the snow testifies of the God who made it.

Everyone is ignorant of something. The real question is what you’re willing to be ignorant about. Don’t let it be the truth that determines your salvation. In this episode, listeners are reminded of God’s call to study, seek understanding, and pursue wisdom that reaches beyond this world (II Timothy 2:15).

This is a special throwback episode from Tennessee Bible College founder and the original radio host of One Gospel Minute, Malcolm Hill—bringing a timeless reminder that true wisdom begins with knowing God’s Word.

The Right Foundation
#120
01/20/2026

Jesus’ illustration of the wise man building his house on the rock, given at the close of the Sermon on the Mount, is more than a familiar children’s song—it is a serious call to obedience. Speaking to adults, Jesus taught that true wisdom is found in hearing His words and doing them. God’s Word is truth, and those who build their lives upon it stand firm. The challenge is for you to examine whether you are truly listening to and following the word of God.
