“There are so many times we disqualify ourselves from God’s grace…We ask, 'Don’t you know who I am? Don’t you know what I’ve done?'”

Joshua Broome spent six years in the adult film industry before he discovered God’s truth and grace. He's now a pastor and shares with others about the impact of fatherlessness and the snares of pornography. With 40 million Americans regularly viewing pornography, this is an important message for all of us to hear.

Listen in as Joshua sheds light on our sex-saturated culture and the lies we're told about sex and relationships. He reminds us there’s nothing out of reach of God’s unconditional love.

Are you walking with pebbles in your shoes?

Therapist and author Jason VanRuler offers this simple metaphor as a way to show how unbearable and damaging secrets can be if we don't address them.

With leaders in church and culture falling all around us, it's important for us to understand the gravity of secrets. Jason points out that we all have two choices in dealing with our secrets: We can disclose them or we can deny them.

Listen in as he encourages Christian leaders to create a Luke 12:2 rhythm of bringing any darkness into the light by employing the LIGHT Model for accountability.

As we approach the Presidential Inauguration next week, we're featuring a new talk from Pastor Jon Tyson of Church of the City New York.

Jon helps us understand where we are as a nation politically and how we as Christians should respond. He introduces the idea of becoming “a creative minority" instead of becoming syncretized or separated.

Listen in as he encourages us to find ways in our communities to exert our redemptive influence, absorb the toxicity, and bring the beauty and grace of Christ to the broken places.
