John Plake of the American Bible Society opens up more from the State of the Bible Report 2026 talks about what Americans say they believe about God, the Devil, and the supernatural.  We are a spiritually sensitive nation, although much of it does not accord with what God has revealed in the Bible!  Mark Yarbrough, president of Dallas Theological Seminary and co-author of the novel "The Battle for Heaven and Earth," talks about what God's word shows us about what was happening in the heavens before the creation of the world, and how that has affected us now.

What if your burnout is actually a spiritual battle you haven't recognized?

When most people think of spiritual warfare, they imagine dramatic Hollywood encounters. But what if the enemy's most effective weapon isn't sensational at all, but mundane?

In this powerful episode of the Transforming the Church Podcast, Pastor Derwin L. Gray does something a little different. As he reads chapter 7 of his new book “It’s Time to Heal,” we explore how our deepest wounds can either harden us into destroyers or, when surrendered to God, reshape us into healers. Drawing on the real-life stories of figures like Adolf Hitler, Corrie ten Boom, and Nelson Mandela, Pastor Derwin reveals how pain itself does not determine our destiny — our response does. Through Scripture, listeners are invited to embrace forgiveness, trust God’s nearness in their brokenness, and allow the...

Not every distraction from Jesus looks like a bad thing. Sometimes, it's the very things we're doing in His name.

In this Staff Talk, Francis asks us to consider how easily we can become consumed with ministry, theology, church practices, and even the pursuit of unity while losing sight of Christ Himself.

He wrestles with a sobering question: Have we become so focused on getting certain things right that we've neglected what matters most?

At the heart of this conversation is a simple but profound reminder. The goal of the Christian life isn't...
