    Are heaven and hell real? | Ep. 7

    Is hell a real place? Is it eternal? And how should Christians understand this difficult truth? In this episode of Wisdom’s Way, Dr. Tim Pollock thoughtfully explores what the Bible teaches about the reality of hell—why Jesus spoke about it so clearly, why God’s justice is fair, and how this truth fits within the larger message of the gospel. You will hear: Why Scripture consistently teaches that hell is real and eternal How Jesus Himself described eternal judgment Why God’s holiness and justice matter And most importantly, how salvation through Christ offers a way of escape This is a heavy subject, but it leads to a hope-filled conclusion: forgiveness is available, grace is offered, and eternal life can be yours through faith in Jesus Christ.

    What does the Bible say about homosexuality? | Ep. 6

    What does the Bible really say about homosexuality—and how should Christians respond with both truth and love? In this episode of Wisdom’s Way, Dr. Tim Pollock carefully opens Scripture to address a sensitive and deeply personal topic with clarity, grace, and compassion.

You will hear: God’s design for marriage and sexuality The difference between temptation and behavior Why the gospel offers real hope and transformation A reminder that no sin is beyond Christ’s saving power This episode is not a debate—it’s an invitation to understand biblical truth and experience the freedom found in Jesus Christ.

    Will We See Our Pets in Heaven? | Ep. 5

    Wisdom’s Way with Dr. Tim Pollock If you’ve ever loved a dog, cat, horse, or any other pet, you know they’re more than “just animals”—they’re part of the family. When a pet dies, the grief is real, and so is the question that quietly lingers in the heart: Will I see my pet again in heaven? In this heartfelt episode of Wisdom’s Way, Dr. Tim Pollock opens the Word of God to explore what the Bible actually says—and doesn’t say—about animals, souls, and the world to come. Rather than speculating, we look at clear biblical principles about: The difference between human souls and animal life God’s love and care for His creation How the fall affected all creation The coming restoration of the world Animals in the Millennial Kingdom and the New Earth And the comforting truth that God withholds no good thing from His children While Scripture does not give a direct promise that our specific pets will be in heaven, it does give us strong hope rooted in the goodness, wisdom, and kindness of God. If you or someone you love is grieving the loss of a beloved pet, this episode is meant to comfort your heart and steady your soul.

    Ten Reasons Why I Tithe | Tithing Series Pt 5

    Why does God care so much about our giving—and what does it reveal about who truly comes first in our lives? Dr. Tim Pollock completes his series “Ten Reasons Why I Tithe” by unpacking the final three reasons—#8, #9, and #10—and showing how biblical stewardship shapes not just our finances, but our faith, example, and spiritual power. You’ll discover: Why tithing is part of being a godly example to our children and to other believers What it really means to acknowledge God’s ownership of everything we have How stewardship opens the floodgates of God’s power for ministry Why obedience in private always affects power in public How giving is not a system—it’s personal worship and love in action Dr. Tim shares powerful biblical stories, practical wisdom, and heartfelt illustrations to show that tithing is not about making the church rich—it’s about putting Christ first, living by conviction, and opening your life to God’s blessing and usefulness. This episode also gives clear, practical guidance on how to start, how to plan, and how to build a life of faithful stewardship—no matter where you’re beginning from. Tithing isn’t fundraising. It’s love rising. It’s worship. It’s discipleship. And it’s a gateway to spiritual power. God’s Word is true. God’s principles work. And walking in wisdom always leads to blessing.

    Ten Reasons Why I Tithe | Tithing Series Pt 4

    Does God really promise blessing to those who put Him first? And can giving actually deepen your relationship with Him? In this episode of Wisdom’s Way, Dr. Tim Pollock continues his teaching series “Ten Reasons Why I Tithe” by unpacking Reasons #6 and #7—and showing that biblical giving is far more than a financial system. It’s personal. It’s relational. And it’s an act of worship. You’ll discover: How God’s favor flows through obedience and faithful stewardship What it means to “test” God in giving and trust His promises Why tithing is God’s protection over the remaining 90% How generosity builds eternal “account” fruit in heaven Why giving is not just supporting a place—but doing something for Jesus Himself The powerful truth that tithing is not fundraising… it’s love rising Dr. Tim shows from Scripture that God doesn’t just evaluate the gift—He looks at the heart of the giver. You’ll hear why giving is worship, discipleship, and one of the most personal ways we express our love for Christ. This episode will encourage you to see stewardship not as duty, but as joyful partnership with Jesus, and to experience the freedom and intimacy that comes from putting God first. God’s Word is true. God’s principles work. And walking in wisdom always leads to blessing.

    Ten Reasons Why I Tithe | Tithing Series Pt 3

    Why does God care so much about our giving—and what does it reveal about our hearts? In this episode of Wisdom’s Way, Dr. Tim Pollock continues his biblical series “Ten Reasons Why I Tithe” by exploring Reason #4 and #5: supporting the work of the gospel and breaking the grip of greed. Dr. Tim shares heartfelt stories from ministry, missions, and church life to show how God uses faithful giving to spread the gospel, strengthen churches, and change lives. He explains why God’s work has always been supported by God’s people—and why tithing is not about money, but about loving what Jesus loves: His church. You’ll also hear a candid and practical teaching on how tithing: Fuels missions and gospel ministry around the world Makes possible the everyday work of the local church Breaks the power of greed and selfishness in our hearts Reorders our priorities and frees us from serving “mammon” Turns grabbers into givers and leads to true spiritual freedom This episode is both encouraging and convicting, reminding us that generosity is not bondage—it’s liberty, and it’s one of God’s tools for shaping our hearts and advancing His work in the world. God’s Word is true. God’s principles work. And walking in wisdom always leads to blessing.
