    LIFE in the WORD

    3 Things You’ll Learn: Why Jesus said we cannot live by bread alone. Life is more than what we can acquire, achieve, eat, wear, or possess. Jesus points us to the Word that proceeds from God as essential to truly living. Why there is life and power in the Word of God. God’s Word is not merely information. His Word reveals His will, gives wisdom, strengthens faith, directs our relationships, and teaches us how to live. Why owning a Bible is not the same as living by it. Many people recognize the Bible’s importance and even own one, yet far fewer consistently engage with Scripture. Life changes when we begin aligning our lives with what God has actually said. Episode Description What if the life you have been searching for cannot be found in another job, another relationship, another purchase, another move, or another accomplishment? Jesus revealed something profound: “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). In LIFE in the WORD, Greg Lancaster explores what Jesus meant when He connected truly living with hearing and receiving the Word of God. The episode features Denzel and Pauletta Washington discussing their participation in an audio Bible project and why they believe Scripture remains relevant, accessible, and powerful. Their conversation points to something millions recognize: the Bible speaks to marriage, relationships, purpose, faith, and the deepest questions of life. Greg also examines research on Americans’ relationship with Scripture, revealing a striking difference between recognizing the Bible’s importance, owning a Bible, and actually reading and living by it. Jesus is the Word made flesh, and when we fill our hearts with His Word, His truth begins shaping what comes out of us. Rather than trying to survive on the natural “bread” the world continually offers, discover the fullness of life that comes through knowing God, hearing His Word, and bringing every area of your life into alignment with what He says. Quotes: “You need the Word to live because there’s life in the Word.” “Life begins to happen in every aspect of our life when we say, ‘I’m going to line my life up with what the Word of God is saying.’” “To live is to actually be in relationship with the One who gives life.” Scripture References: Matthew 4:4; John 1:1, 14; Matthew 10:16-20; Matthew 12:34; Proverbs #WordOfGod #Bible #Jesus #Faith #Scripture #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTruth Begin Your Journey Today Jesus didn’t just call us to believe in Him. He called us to follow Him. Step into the life He designed for you through Emmaus Road’s The Commands of Jesus. This is more than learning.

    Controversy and Progress Happen Simultaneously

    3 Things You’ll Learn Why controversy does not mean God is not moving. Throughout Scripture, moments of tremendous progress were often accompanied by disorder, disagreement, rebellion, and human weakness. Why living for an Audience of One changes everything. Following God cannot ultimately depend on approval from friends, leaders, organizations, or even those who promise they will always stand with you. Why this generation must rise in its own moment. Just as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and others stood courageously in their day, believers today must be willing to stand faithfully, lawfully, and peacefully for what is right. Episode Description Controversy and progress can happen at the very same time. When we look back at great moments in biblical or national history, everything can appear orderly from a distance. But when you look closer, you discover disagreement, resistance, mistakes, opposition, and imperfect people right in the middle of extraordinary progress. Israel’s journey out of captivity was filled with complaining, rebellion, and challenges to Moses’ leadership. Even Jesus’ disciples argued about who would be greatest, and Peter once tried to correct Jesus concerning the very path He had come to fulfill. Yet God continued working. Why? Because God works through human beings, people just like you and me, with all our weaknesses and rough places. Greg Lancaster reflects on the era of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and those who stood with him, including former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young, as America confronted the moral question of how people should treat one another. Their progress did not come without controversy or opposition. The challenge for us is not simply to admire those who stood in another generation, but to ask what we will do in ours. Ultimately, we must learn to live for an Audience of One, knowing that each of us will stand before God and give an account for what we did with the moment He entrusted to us. Quotes: “Controversy and progress happen simultaneously.” “You’ve got to begin to live your life for an Audience of One.” “This is your season. This is your time. What are you going to do with this moment?” #Faith #Courage #Church #MartinLutherKingJr #Jesus #StandForTruth Begin Your Journey Today Jesus didn’t just call us to believe in Him.

    God’s Will Is for Everyone to Be Healed | Art Thomas

    3 Things You’ll Learn: Why Art Thomas became convinced that it is God’s will to heal and how studying the Gospels and Acts challenged what he previously believed about healing. Why healing ministry is about trusting Jesus rather than trying harder, and how Art learned that faith means doing what God has asked us to do while trusting Him to do what only He can do. How ordinary believers can step out and minister healing, understanding that Jesus gave His followers power and authority and that ministry is not reserved for pastors or those with a special platform. Episode Description What happens when you believe the Bible teaches that God heals, yet you are not seeing healing happen around you? Greg Lancaster sits down with Art Thomas for a powerful conversation about Art’s journey from believing in healing but rarely seeing it, to witnessing thousands of reported healings and miracles as believers learned to trust Jesus and step out in faith. Art shares how he went back to the Gospels and the book of Acts, examined his questions about healing, and became convinced that the life and ministry of Jesus reveal God’s desire to heal. Art recounts the surprising moment when a young church intern suffering from a severe ear infection and hearing loss was prayed for and experienced healing. That encounter helped Art recognize an important distinction: faith is not about human effort, emotional intensity, or trying to manufacture a miracle. It is about trusting Jesus. As Art puts it, “In the kingdom, if it doesn’t work, try less and trust more.” The conversation also explores Art’s experiences ministering in Uganda, where he witnessed people being healed and then watched local believers begin ministering to one another. Rather than creating dependence upon a visiting minister, Art emphasizes equipping the Body of Christ to participate in the ministry Jesus entrusted to His followers. Greg and Art also discuss the difficult question of why some people are not healed. Art strongly rejects placing condemnation on the sick person or telling someone that their lack of healing automatically means they lacked faith. Drawing from the ministry of Jesus and passages including Matthew 10:8, Matthew 17, Mark 16:17-18, John 14:12, Acts 3, Acts 10:38, and James 5:14-16, he challenges believers to continue learning, trusting, and partnering with Jesus. Quotes: “In the kingdom, if it doesn’t work, try less and trust more.” Art Thomas “Faith is doing everything I’m supposed to do and nothing of what God is supposed to do. I’m completely trusting Him to do the rest.” Art Thomas “The only thing necessary for a miracle to happen is the presence of God. So stop seeking miracles and start seeking the presence.” Art Thomas, recounting what he received during a prayer gathering #Healing #Faith #Jesus #HolySpirit #Miracles #ArtThomas #GregLancaster Begin Your Journey Today Jesus didn’t just call us to believe in Him.

    The Moravians Teach Us Not Just to Stand for Our Generation, but for Generations to Come

    3 Things You’ll Learn: What it means to live for generations you may never see. The Moravians committed themselves to prayer, missions, and sacrifice, understanding that obedience to God is not limited to what produces results in our own lifetime. Why standing in the gap requires selfless obedience. From Abraham interceding to Jonah being sent to Nineveh, Scripture reveals God’s heart for people and nations, even when reaching them requires sacrifice. Why every believer is called to participate in God’s mission. Ministry is not reserved for a select few. Jesus calls His followers to serve, pray, make disciples, and carry the Gospel into the world. Episode Description What would happen if we stopped measuring obedience by what we could accomplish in our own lifetime? In this powerful episode, Greg Lancaster looks to the extraordinary example of the Moravians, whose commitment to prayer and missions challenges believers to think beyond themselves and beyond their own generation. A community committed itself to around-the-clock prayer, and that prayer continued for generations. From that environment came a missionary movement that carried the Gospel around the world. Greg recounts the story of young Moravians who were reportedly willing to sell themselves into slavery so they could take Christ to enslaved people who otherwise had no access to the Gospel. Their missionary cry captured the heart of their sacrifice: that the Lamb who was slain would receive the reward of His suffering. The message moves from the Moravians to Paul’s burden for Israel, Abraham’s willingness to respond when God spoke, and Jonah’s resistance to taking God’s message to Nineveh. The challenge is deeply personal: Are we willing to pray, serve, sacrifice, and obey when the fruit of our obedience may not fully appear until another generation? Greg challenges believers to reject a faith centered only on personal benefit and instead live as servants who care about God’s purposes, His harvest, Israel, the nations, and generations yet to come. This episode is a call to stand in the gap, preach the Gospel, pray faithfully, and plant spiritual trees whose shade may bless people we will never meet. God’s purposes are larger than one lifetime. The question is whether we are willing to give our lives to what He is doing, even when another generation may be the one that sees the harvest. Quotes: “Are we willing to stand in the gap for the will of God, which could take one or two generations?” “Why the next generation has no shade is because there are no trees.” “If you’re a believer, everyone’s a minister because the highest form of a minister is a servant.” Scripture References: Romans 11 reminds Gentile believers not to become arrogant toward Israel, but to recognize God’s continuing purposes and His ability to graft the natural branches in again. 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” Matthew 28:19: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations...” Jonah 3:10: “When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened.” #Moravians #Prayer #Missions #Israel #Revival #Jesus #Faith #Generations Begin Your Journey Today Jesus didn’t just call us to believe in Him.

    The School Revolution: Re-Looking at Education and Empowering Others to Learn from Home

    3 Things You'll Learn Why education is one of the most important foundations for raising future leaders. How parents can reclaim their God-given role in the education and discipleship of their children. Why biblical values, critical thinking, and leadership development begin in the home rather than in government systems. Episode Description Where will tomorrow's leaders come from? In this thought-provoking episode, Greg Lancaster examines the future of education and asks whether America's current educational system is preparing children to lead or simply training them to conform. Drawing from a compelling interview between Glenn Beck and Ron Paul, Greg challenges listeners to reconsider the biblical responsibility parents have in raising and educating the next generation. Throughout the discussion, Greg explores homeschooling, parental involvement, leadership development, and the importance of restoring God to the center of education. He reminds believers that education is far more than academics. It is shaping the hearts, minds, and worldview of future pastors, business leaders, judges, teachers, and elected officials. Whether your children attend public school, private school, or are homeschooled, this episode encourages every parent to actively disciple their children and partner with God in preparing them for His purposes. With personal stories, historical examples, and a heartfelt prayer for revival in America's schools, Greg calls believers to pray for a Great Awakening, renewed freedom, and a generation equipped to honor God in every sphere of society. Quotes: "We're talking about the next leaders." "If you don't start educating yourself and your family, you become a slave." "We pray that You would redeem our education system in America."

    Buying the Image of Hard Work - Old Looking Jeans

    Image of Hard Work - Old Looking Jeans.mp3" 3 Things You'll Learn Why our culture often values the appearance of hard work more than the reality of diligent labor. How God blesses the work of our hands rather than the image or imitation of someone else's work. Why recovering a biblical work ethic is essential for individuals, families, and a thriving nation. Episode Description Why would someone spend hundreds of dollars on brand-new jeans made to look worn out? In this thought-provoking episode, Greg Lancaster explores the surprising story behind distressed designer jeans and what it reveals about modern culture. While companies invest enormous sums studying the wear patterns of laborers from generations past, many have become disconnected from the very work that built strong families, communities, and nations. Greg challenges listeners to embrace God's design for meaningful work rather than settling for its appearance. He reminds us that Scripture teaches God blesses the work of our hands, not merely the image of productivity. As economies change and values shift, this message is a timely call to return to diligence, stewardship, and the blessing that comes through faithful labor. Quotes: "They're buying the image of hard work." "God blesses the work of our hands, not when we go out and get the image of other people's hands." "Why not put a pair of brand-new jeans on and get a job? What a concept." Scripture References: Deuteronomy 28:12 Proverbs 14:23 Colossians 3:23-24 #HardWork #BiblicalWorkEthic #FaithAndWork #GregLancaster Begin Your Journey Today Jesus didn't just call us to believe in Him.

    It's Not Wrong to Turn Back To God: U-Turn - Restoring America to the Strength of its Roots

    3 Things You'll Learn Why true restoration begins with personal repentance and returning to God's original design rather than blaming others. How America's founding principles were rooted in a biblical worldview and why drifting from those principles has affected the nation, the church, and culture. Why every believer is called to take personal responsibility, stand for truth in love, and follow Jesus as a committed disciple. Episode Description Is it ever wrong to return to God's original design? In this compelling message, Greg Lancaster explores why the answer is a resounding no. Drawing from U-Turn: Restoring America to the Strength of its Roots by George Barna and David Barton, Greg examines America's spiritual and moral condition, comparing today's values with those that shaped the nation's founding. More importantly, he challenges believers to stop blaming culture and instead begin with repentance in the house of God. Throughout this episode, Greg explains that lasting change does not come through political arguments or shifting responsibility to others. It begins when Christians humble themselves before God, return to His Word, and once again become true disciples of Jesus Christ. Using biblical examples, historical insights, and national statistics, he calls listeners to embrace personal responsibility, biblical truth, and wholehearted obedience to Christ. Whether you are concerned about the future of your family, your church, or your nation, this message offers hope. A U-turn is always possible when God's people repent, seek His face, and follow His ways. Quotes: "It's not wrong to go back to God's original intent for the church." "You can't seek God's face and save your face at the same time." "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray... then I will hear from heaven." Scripture References 2 Chronicles 7:14 Luke 14:33 Mark 8:35 Matthew 10:16 John 8:31-32 Romans 1 Joshua 7 James 1:22 2 Timothy 3:16 #Repentance #BiblicalWorldview #Discipleship #America #Faith Begin Your Journey Today Jesus didn't just call us to believe in Him.

    Hunger in America

    3 Things You'll Learn Why physical hunger in America points to a deeper spiritual hunger, and how God calls His Church to respond. How drought, food shortages, and economic uncertainty remind us that God alone is our Provider and the One who causes things to grow. Why believers must prepare their hearts for God's coming outpouring instead of merely praying for revival without being ready to receive it. Episode Description What happens when one of the world's most prosperous nations struggles with hunger? In this eye-opening episode, Greg Lancaster examines the growing reality of food insecurity in America, the devastating effects of drought on the nation's food supply, and the biblical response God calls His people to embrace. As millions of children face hunger during the summer months and California's historic drought threatens crops that feed much of the nation, this discussion challenges believers to see beyond the headlines and recognize both the natural and spiritual implications. Drawing from reports on childhood hunger, agricultural shortages, and biblical prophecy, Greg points listeners back to Scripture, reminding us that while people may plant and water, it is God who ultimately causes things to grow. Through passages including 2 Chronicles 7:13-14, Amos 4:7, 1 Corinthians 3, and Joel 1-2, this episode reveals that national crises can become invitations for God's people to humble themselves, seek His face, and experience His healing power. Rather than responding with fear, believers are encouraged to become the hands and feet of Jesus by caring for their neighbors, strengthening their communities, and preparing spiritually for the outpouring of God's Spirit. This message is a timely reminder that while physical drought affects the land, spiritual drought affects hearts, and God is calling His Church to be ready for the rain He desires to send. Quotes: "You can't run out of source if God is your source." "The natural drought is a sign of a spiritual drought." "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray... then I will hear from heaven... and will heal their land."
