    How to Live For Christ in a Hostile World | Jonny Ardavanis

    Living for Jesus in an increasingly hostile culture can leave Christians feeling bitter and defensive. But what if we're missing something crucial about how we're called to engage the lost world? In this episode, we walk through Titus 3 and unpack three essential truths for staying tender-hearted toward unbelievers: 1️⃣ Remember who you were before Christ (vv. 1-3) 2️⃣ Remember what God has done (vv. 4-7) 3️⃣ Remember your calling (v. 8) We discuss navigating a post-Christian America, the danger of confusing the mission field with your enemy, and why evangelistic engagement is the antidote to growing callous toward the lost.

    Why Your Words Matter More Than You Think | The Power of the Christian Tongue

    In this episode, we dive into what the Bible says about how Christians should use their tongues. Building on our previous discussion about illegitimate uses of speech, we explore four biblical purposes for our words and practical ways to honor God with what we say.

Use our unique code DIALIN to get 25% off your first year of an Accountable2You Personal or Family Plan 🗣️ Four Reasons God Gave Us the Tongue: 1. To speak the truth (Ephesians 4:15, 25) 2. To build others up through edifying words (Ephesians 4:29) 3. To demonstrate tenderhearted kindness (Ephesians 4:32) 4. To praise and glorify God (Psalm 63:3) Key Takeaways: A commitment to honesty is the backbone of Christian speech Every word should build up, never simply to harmOur speech should always be gracious and "seasoned with salt" (Colossians 4:6)What comes out of our mouths reflects what's in our heartsWe can't transform our tongues without God transforming our hearts Practical Applications: • Be quick to hear, slow to speak (James 1:19) • Pray Scripture over your speech (Psalm 19:14, Psalm 141:3) • Speak according to the need of the moment • Let your words give grace to those who hear Scriptures Referenced: Ephesians 4:15, 25, 29, 32 | Colossians 4:6 | Proverbs 26:18 | Romans 10:17 | James 1:19 | Psalm 19:14 | Psalm 63:3 | Psalm 141:3

    Taming the Tongue (James 3): Gossip, Slander & “Respectable Sins” That Can Destroy Your Witness

    How powerful are your words—really? In this episode, we open James 1:26 and James 3 to expose the “respectable sins” of the tongue: gossip, slander, lying, crude talk, and careless words. Scripture is clear: the tongue reveals the heart, and unchecked speech can lead to self-deception and spiritual harm. This episode is sponsored by The Master's University. To learn more about how you can invest in a college education devoted to Christ & Scripture, visit: https://www.masters.edu We walk through five biblical realities about the tongue—why it’s powerful, restless, foul, prone to lying, and deadly through gossip—and why believers must bridle the tongue for the glory of God. If you’ve ever brushed off gossip as “not that serious,” these passages will challenge you.

    When Your Heart Grows Cold: How to Restore Your Love for Christ

    Have you been serving, staying doctrinally sound, and doing all the “right” Christian things—but feel your love for Jesus growing cold? In Revelation 2, Jesus praises the church in Ephesus for their diligence, discernment, and perseverance, but then gives a sobering rebuke: “You have left your first love.” This episode is sponsored by The Master's University. To learn more about how you can invest in a college education devoted to Christ & Scripture, visit: https://www.masters.edu In this episode, we unpack what it means to leave your first love (not in sequence, but in prominence) and why a cold, apathetic heart is spiritually dangerous—even if your life looks strong on the surface. Using the Challenger space shuttle tragedy as an illustration of a “missing critical piece,” we look at Christ’s clear prescription for spiritual apathy: Remember where you’ve fallen (preach the gospel to yourself)Repent (this is a heart issue, not just burnout)Return to “the deeds you did at first” We also discuss what those “first deeds” can look like: renewed hunger for God’s Word, fervent prayer, love for God’s people, evangelistic zeal, and honest confession—not just going through the motions. If you’ve been asking: “Why don’t I love Jesus like I used to?”“How do I overcome spiritual dryness?”“What does Revelation 2 teach the church today?” …this conversation is for you. Scripture: Revelation 2:1–7

    The Story That Exposed My Self-Righteousness (Luke 18:9-14)

    In this episode, we walk through Luke 18:9–14—the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector—and answer one of the most important questions in human history: How can a sinner be made right with God? This episode is brought to you by our ministry partner Accountable2You. Join thousands living in freedom with nothing to hide, and visit https://accountable2you.com/dialin. Use our unique code DIALIN to get 25% off your first year of an Accountable2You Personal or Family Plan This passage completely reshaped the way I understood the gospel of grace, because it exposes the danger of self-righteousness, especially for people who grew up in church and know all the “right answers.” It’s possible to look religious, speak the language, and still be resting your confidence in what you’ve done—or haven’t done—rather than Christ alone. We cover: The context of Luke 17–18 and the question: “How do I enter the kingdom of God?”Why God’s holiness makes the gospel necessaryWhat a Pharisee would have looked like in Jesus’ day (religious elite, moral rigor, spiritual discipline)Why a tax collector was viewed as the worst kind of sinner in Jewish societyThe difference between pride masked as humility vs true repentanceThe tax collector’s plea for mercy and how it points to propitiation (wrath satisfied by a substitute)Why Jesus says the tax collector went home justified—and the Pharisee didn’tThe core of salvation: merit vs mercy, self-justification vs free gift, works vs graceIf you’ve ever wondered whether you’ve subtly drifted into a “good person” version of Christianity, this conversation will challenge you to re-center your hope on Jesus’ blood and righteousness—not your performance. Passage: Luke 18:9–14 Topics: justification, repentance, grace, self-righteousness, holiness of God, gospel clarity, Pharisees, tax collectors, propitiation, Christian testimony
