"If you can't control your mind, when you get to the end of this, you will not be the same person." - Dr. Scott Peterson's father-in-law, a physician, told him that on the day he started chemo. Scott would later survive stage 3 colorectal cancer AND a stroke that hit him at 30,000 feet on a Delta flight to Atlanta and learn that real Christian resilience is built BEFORE the crisis hits, not during it.

In this episode of The March or Die Show, host Jeremy Stalnecker sits down with Dr. Scott A. Peterson, pastor at St. Luke's Methodist...

“The fear of our heart is built on sin’s great lie: that the place of healing is the place of harm. That the chalice of confession is filled with poison. That the medicine God has provided cannot be trusted. We have come to believe that confession is not a place of life but instead a place of death.”

Those words from Jamin Goggin’s book, Pastoral Confessions, capture the heart of this entire conversation.

Most of us know we’re supposed to confess. We know we’re supposed to be honest with God. We know we’re s...

Evening Scripture 

Matthew 9 
Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town. Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”

At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!”

Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? But I want you to know that th...

Today's Bible Verse: "Anyone who withholds kindness for a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty." — Job 6:14

Job 6:14 reveals the deep need for compassion and support during seasons of suffering. In the middle of his pain, Job expresses the loneliness he feels when those around him fail to offer the comfort and understanding he desperately needs. His words remind us that even the strongest people need encouragement when life becomes overwhelming.

We can say the words easily enough. God is good. We have sung them in church, written them in journals, spoken them over hard situations as a kind of anchor when everything else felt uncertain. But there is a difference between a theological statement and a personal encounter. And Psalm 34:8 is not asking us to agree with a doctrine. It is asking us to taste.

You cannot fully understand what water is like by reading the word wet. You have to jump in.

The trouble is that crises have a way of crowding out the...

God is still present in your brokenness, and that even here, He is forming something beautiful and redemptive! Sydney Anne Bennett, author of Fearfully and Wonderfully Broken, is proof of this! She shares what it looks like to hold onto faith when life doesn’t make sense. We dive into her story of chronic illness, suffering, and the raw reality of following Jesus in seasons that don’t get neatly resolved.

You're fine all day. Then the light goes off, your head hits the pillow, and the thought you outran since breakfast is standing right there in the room with you, louder than it ever was at noon.

If fear waits until dark to find you, this episode is for you. We're talking about how to pray when anxiety gets loud, and especially how to pray at night, when everything feels worse and morning feels a long way off.

We go to a story you already know, Daniel in the lions' den, but to a person...

Waiting is hard. It stretches us, tests us, and sometimes feels like it might break us. But here's what I've been sitting with: waiting is not the pausing of life. It's the living of it. If you're in a season of waiting today, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm sharing five practical ways to make this summer one you'll truly enjoy, not because it's packed with activities, but because it's filled with what matters most. We'll talk about caring for your body, feeding your mind, strengthening your soul, investing in relationships, and learning to rest. My hope is that you'll finish this episode with a simple plan to create a summer...

Romans 8:16 anchors the believer’s identity in a powerful truth: through the Holy Spirit, we are affirmed as children of God. In this devotional, Cindi McMenamin unpacks what it means to live from that identity rather than slipping back into fear, anxiety, and emotional chaos. When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to function as if we are spiritually alone, but Scripture reminds us that believers are fully adopted, fully known, and fully secured in God’s family.

What does it cost to care for others in the middle of crisis?

In this powerful episode of Words of Life, we hear from Bobbi Geery of The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services as he shares the unseen emotional, physical, and spiritual weight carried by disaster relief workers.

As our upcoming Biblical Justice roundtable series approaches, this conversation sets the stage by asking an important question: Who cares for the caretakers?

Bobbi gives listeners a behind the scenes look at disaster response operations during major hurricanes and emergencies, coordinating personnel, deploying canteens, troubleshooting...

"Build a boat." It was a quiet word received during prayer, mysterious enough that Tammy Darling joked it might mean a cruise was on the horizon. Weeks passed with no further clarity — and then the storm hit. Her husband's diagnosis of thyroid cancer arrived suddenly, and what had seemed like a cryptic phrase became a lifeline of meaning: they were going to the other side, and they were going to need a boat to get there. In this deeply personal and faith-stirring episode, Tammy walks us through one of the hardest seasons of her life with honesty and hard-won ho...

Summary: 

In this episode, Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn sit down with author, counselor, and father-daughter relationship expert Michelle Watson Canfield to explore one of the most challenging seasons of parenting: connecting with adolescent daughters. 

Many dads feel uncertain about how to respond when their daughters become more emotional, pull away, or seem resistant to their efforts. Michelle shares a powerful insight she has observed through years of counseling: many men would rather do nothing than risk doing it wrong—but when it comes to fathering daughters, stepping back often creates more distance. 

Together, Shaunti...

In this conversation, Carl Trueman joins me and Scott Rae for one of the most wide-ranging episodes we've recorded. We get into CS Lewis, Nietzsche's madman, the anthropological question at the heart of every cultural debate, the sexual revolution, pornography, contraception (where Trueman calls himself "a work in progress"), IVF, surrogacy, end-of-life decisions, and how Christians sometimes mirror the secular world's trivialization of death.

Have you ever felt God nudging you toward something—but fear, doubt, or insecurity kept you from taking the next step?

Maybe it's having a difficult conversation, starting a Bible study, pursuing a dream, reaching out to a neighbor, or simply trusting God in an uncertain season. Whatever it is, you're not alone.

This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with author Laura L. Smith about her new book, Brave Women, Mighty God. Together, we explored the stories of women in Scripture who faced fear, uncertainty, and impossible circumstances—yet...

This Father’s Day week, we hear from two men whose completely different experiences of childhood and fatherhood led them to the same mission: helping dads show up with intention. Jeff Hamilton, pastor and author of Dad Academy, grew up with the rare gift of an engaged, present father. Today, he’s helping dads build stronger relationships with their children through intentional parenting.

Later in the episode, we hear from Glen Henry, known online as Beleaf in Fatherhood, whose story couldn’t be more different—a childhood marked by feeling unwanted and unloved, and a young adu...

Are you disappointed by someone you love? Maybe your spouse let you down, a friend broke your trust, or a relationship didn't turn out the way you hoped. The truth is, every one of us has experienced the pain of unmet expectations.

In this replay episode, we're revisiting a foundational conversation about hope, because the message is just as important today as when it first aired. Disappointment has a way of settling into our hearts if we don't address it. Left unchecked, it can lead to bitterness, resentment, anger, and emotional distance in our relationships.

Have you ever felt completely stuck when it comes to body image, or really ANY area where you just can’t get unstuck, no matter what boxes you check? In this episode, Heather Creekmore dives into the underlying reasons we stay stuck and offers a biblically-rooted path toward true freedom.

In John Bunyan's classic tale, The Pilgrim's Progress, there is a scene where the main character falls into a miry bog called the Slough of Despond. It is described as a place of fear, doubt, and discouraging apprehension. Stuck in the mud, Christian begins to believe that his faith is simply too weak to change his situation. That there is no possible way forward.

Most of us have stood in that bog at some point. Maybe we are standing in it tonight.

Despite our relationship with Jesus and our empowerment by the Holy Spirit, we...

Today's Bible Verse: "May the Lord the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you fully for waht you have done."  — Ruth 2:12

Ruth 2:12 highlights a beautiful picture of faith, loyalty, and finding security in God. After leaving behind her homeland and stepping into an uncertain future, Ruth chose faithfulness and humility. Boaz recognized that her actions reflected a deeper trust in God, who had become her true source of refuge.

Some relationships leave us feeling anxious, emotionally drained and unsure how to move forward. We want to love well, extend grace and remain faithful to God's call, yet we often find ourselves carrying burdens that were never ours to bear. In this episode, Jennifer Slattery sits down with pastor, author and biblical counselor Brad Hambrick to discuss what healthy boundaries are, what they aren't and why establishing them can feel so difficult—especially for compassionate people.

Together, they explore the difference between sacrificial love and self-neglect, how to recognize unhealthy relational patterns, why boundaries are ultimately an is...

Welcome to this special bonus episode of the Jesus Calling Podcast. We’re talking to men who look at their lives as fathers as one of the most important roles they’ll ever have. Our earthly fathers—or the significant father figures in our lives—cast a profound and lasting shadow on who we become. We carry their wisdom, their lessons, and their support as a foundation for our own lives. Yet, for many, that influence also includes painful memories—moments of absence, criticism, or misunderstanding that leave behind wounds and a deep yearning for unconditional acceptance. No human father is...

Psalm 37:7 calls believers into a posture of stillness and trust when circumstances feel unjust or when others seem to undermine our plans. In this devotional, Jennifer Slattery reflects on the emotional turmoil that arises when people act against us—intentionally or otherwise—and how easily fear, anxiety, and anger can take over. Through the life of David, we see a powerful example of someone who endured prolonged opposition yet learned to rest in God’s sovereignty rather than react out of panic or revenge.

Preparing for a baby changes everything. From building cribs and organizing tiny clothes to preparing a nursery with love and anticipation, every detail reflects the excitement of welcoming someone deeply loved into your life.

In this episode of HEARTBEAT, we connect that beautiful season of preparation to the words of Jesus in John 14: “I go to prepare a place for you.” Just as parents thoughtfully prepare for their child’s arrival, Jesus is intentionally preparing what lies ahead for us. His care is personal, loving, and never rushed.

Takeaways from this episode:

Weariness has a way of brewing just below the surface — quiet enough to ignore for a while, but persistent enough that it eventually makes itself known. In this tender and soul-nourishing episode, Keri Eichberger gives voice to a longing most of us carry but rarely stop to name: the deep, aching desire to be truly refreshed. Not just rested, but renewed from the inside out. Washed clean of burden and brokenness. Filled with something that sticks and stays, long after the moment has passed.

The world's answer to weariness is more productivity, more hustle, more effort. But Je...

In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Christy is joined by bestselling author Jon Seidl, his wife Brett, and members of the Love Life Sober leadership team to discuss marriage, sobriety, intimacy, communication, faith, and navigating relationships when alcohol is no longer at the center.

Together, they explore the questions so many women...

A thousand times a year, someone sits across the table from Jeremy Stalnecker and says: "I've tried everything. If this doesn't work, I'm not going to make it." How is a gentle and lowly Jesus the answer to that?

Dane Ortlund, pastor of Naperville Presbyterian and author of the runaway evangelical bestseller Gentle and Lowly, sits down with Jeremy to break down the Jesus most Christian men have never been taught. The Jesus who, as Spurgeon noted, only once told us what was in his own heart. The Jesus whose default is mercy and whose anger always...
