    Day 14: Philippians 4:8 - Balancing Our News Intake

    It’s easy to get sucked into the daily onslaught of news. When we’re absorbing every breaking news item, it can drive us to feel either very fearful, or very cynical. We must be able to put the endless news away and do the good work of Philippians 4:8, to train our minds to think on “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable… anything (that) is excellent or praiseworthy.”In this episode, Dan focuses our hearts and minds on the beautiful news of Philippians 4 and the hope we have, and must cling to, when the daily news would leave us feeling hopeless.You can find more from Dan on his website DanielDarling.com.Image Credit: ©Getty/marimo Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

    Day 13: Romans 13 - How Should Christians Respond to the Government?

    The question of how Christians ought to respond to governing authorities has been on the minds of many of us as we’ve gone from mandated shut-downs to the latest information on when and how we can open back up. Romans, particularly Romans 13, can tell us much about how to respond to governing authorities.When he wrote Romans, Paul is feeling the increasing pressure of the Roman Empire. And yet, to his brothers and sisters in Christ, Paul reminds them not to dispair. In this episode, Dan walks us through Romans 13, a particularly encouraging, convicting and ultimately hope-filled word for our time.You can find more from Dan on his website DanielDarling.com.

    Day 10: 1 Corinthians 15 – Jesus’ Victory Over Sin, Death and Viruses

    1 Corinthians 15 is an essential passage of Scripture, one where Paul presents an apologetic for the Christian faith. The whole thesis might be summed up as, if Jesus rose from the dead, then everything changes – all of the Christian faith hinges on the resurrection. Paul says that if the resurrection is true, this not only has great implications for our souls, but also for our bodies. The cycle of sin and death will be broken and reversed. This is a great comfort and hope to us during a global pandemic, where we are seeing our mortality in new ways.Daniel Darling is the Vice President for Communications for the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention (ERLC).

    Day 9: Psalm 91 - God Our Protector

    The Psalms are often the place we go in times of suffering and heartache. As someone once said, ‘The rest of the Bible is God talking to us, but the psalms are us speaking to God.’ If you’ve ever struggled feeling like you could go to God with how you really feel – the psalms show us unequivocally, yes you can!Psalm 91 tells us about God’s protection over the whole world. His children have an even deeper, particular protection. Through Christ, we have a spiritual protection. We can go to God and rest under his grace. When everything around us, all the worldly powers and institutions seem weak and broken, God stands strong.This virus is powerful, destructive and deadly, but it is not the most powerful thing in the universe. In this episode, Dan focuses our minds and hearts on the truth of God’s supreme power and goodness over us.

    Day 8: Habakkuk 3:17 - Praising God When Things Are Bad

    The predominant theme, the cry of Habakkuk is, ‘How long, Oh Lord?’ This is, of course, the theme of many of our current prayers toward God as well. It is easy to praise God when things are easy, but takes real faith to praise God when things are hard. In this episode, using Habakkuk as a guide, Dan challenges us to consider how to praise God in this time of uncertainty, loss and anxiety.Daniel Darling is the Vice President for Communications for the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention (ERLC).

    Day 7: 1 Peter 1:3-9 - The Sure Hope of the Christian

    1 Peter is a precious book for Christians who are trying to live out their faith in uncertain times. No matter what we are experiencing today, God is with us.
