In this episode of Back to the Bible Daily, Braden Pedersen breaks down Matthew 5:38-42 from the Sermon on the Mount, exploring what it means to respond to evil with gentleness rather than retaliation.

    When You Doubt God's Power (Stop Praying "God, If You Can")

    Do you find yourself praying "if you can" instead of praying with confidence in God's power? In this episode of Back to the Bible Daily, Braden Pedersen explores Mark 9:14-24 and the story of a father who brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus' disciples. When the disciples couldn't help, the father approached Jesus with doubt, saying "if you can." Jesus' response challenges us to examine our own faith and how we pray. Many of us unknowingly limit God through our prayers and requests. We hedge our bets, uncertain whether God can or will come through for us. But Jesus reminds us that all things are possible for those who believe. Whether you're facing financial struggles, workplace stress, relationship challenges, or spiritual warfare, God invites you to lay your burdens at His feet with gratitude, not doubt. READ: Open your Bible to Mark 9:14-24 and follow along as we examine this powerful encounter between Jesus and a desperate father. REFLECT: Consider the areas of your life where you're praying "if you can" instead of thanking God for His power and sovereignty. How might your prayers change if you approached God with confidence rather than doubt? RESPOND: This week, identify one specific struggle you're facing and commit to praying with thanksgiving instead of uncertainty. Trust that God's will, though it may look different than you imagine, will always glorify Him. REVEAL: Share this episode with someone who needs to be reminded of God's power and faithfulness. Help them see that their circumstances are an opportunity for God to work a miracle.

    Your Past Doesn't Disqualify You From God's Purpose

    What if your past disqualifies you from God's purpose? In this episode of Back to the Bible Daily, host Braden Pedersen explores how God called Moses—a murderer and fugitive—to lead an entire nation to freedom. Through Exodus 3, discover how God's redemptive power transforms broken lives into vessels for His extraordinary plans. Moses had every reason to believe his life was over. Yet God appeared in a burning bush and called him to something greater than he could imagine. This story isn't just about Moses—it's about you. No matter what you've done or where you've been, God can use you for His purposes. Read Exodus 3 and notice how God reveals Himself to Moses and what He promises to accomplish through him. Reflect on areas of your life where shame or past mistakes make you feel disqualified from serving God's purpose. Respond by identifying one specific calling God may be placing on your heart today, whether it's loving your family, pursuing reconciliation, or extending forgiveness. Reveal this truth to someone who feels broken or unworthy by sharing how God uses imperfect people to accomplish His will.

    Don't Be Unequally Yoked (It's Not Just All About Marriage)

    What does it mean to be unequally yoked, and why does it matter for your relationships today? In this episode of Back to the Bible Daily, Braden Pedersen unpacks one of Scripture's most misunderstood verses: 2 Corinthians 6:14. Paul's warning about being unequally yoked extends far beyond marriage—it speaks to every significant relationship in your life and challenges you to examine who influences your spiritual journey. Read 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 and trace Paul's Old Testament references to understand the richness of this passage. Reflect on your closest relationships and friendships. Are they drawing you closer to Christ or pulling you away? Respond by evaluating your inner circle. Where might you need to make changes to align with God's design for your life? Reveal this truth by discipling someone toward Jesus and demonstrating what it looks like to be set apart yet engaged with the world.

    How Can I Be Sure I'm Actually Saved? (Assurance of Salvation)

    How can you be absolutely certain of your salvation? In this episode of Back to the Bible Daily, Braden Pedersen addresses one of the most common questions Christians ask: the assurance of salvation. If you've ever wondered whether your faith is real or worried that your ongoing struggles with sin disqualify you from God's grace, this episode is for you. Drawing from 1 John and the Gospel of John, Braden explores what Scripture says about the confidence we can have in our relationship with Christ. You'll discover that the conviction you feel about sin is actually evidence of the Holy Spirit's work in your life, not a sign that you're not truly saved. Jesus promises that His sheep hear His voice and will never be snatched from His hand. That's the assurance available to every believer. Read: Spend time in 1 John 5:11-13 and John 10:27-29. Let these verses anchor your understanding of salvation's permanence. Reflect: Consider times when the Holy Spirit has convicted you of sin. What does that conviction reveal about your relationship with God? Respond: If doubt has plagued you, write down the promises from Scripture that assure you of your salvation. Return to them whenever fear creeps in. Reveal: Share with someone struggling with assurance how the conviction of sin actually demonstrates the Spirit's presence in a believer's life.

    When Shame Won't Let Go (Stop Hiding From God)

    What lies is shame telling you about your worth in God's eyes? In this episode of Back to the Bible Daily, host Braden Pedersen explores how shame became one of the enemy's most powerful weapons against us—and how Jesus broke its chains forever. If you're struggling with shame today—whether it's from a recent mistake, a past failure, or a secret struggle—this message is for you. The enemy wants you to believe you're too broken for God to love or use. That's a lie. Through Christ's redemptive work, you've been made new, and condemnation has no claim on your life. Read Genesis 3 and Romans 8:1 to see how God's grace transforms shame into freedom. Reflect on how shame has impacted your relationship with God and where the enemy's lies have taken root in your mind. Respond by confessing areas where you've believed the lie that God can't use you, and accept the truth that you've been made new in Christ. Reveal this message of grace to someone carrying the weight of shame, showing them that redemption is available through Jesus. Join Braden as he centers on God's Word and helps you break free from the chains of shame today.
