Remove the Crutches: Trusting God When All Your Supports Are Gone | Redeeming the Time with Chris Macy
In this powerful episode of Redeeming the Time, Chris Macy uses the story of David in 1 Samuel 18–21 to show how God sometimes removes every “crutch” we lean on — job, family, health, reputation, or position — so we learn to trust Him alone.
Drawing from David’s life (and Psalms 56 & 34), Chris explains why discomfort and loss are often God’s tools to build real faith. When everything you’ve relied on is stripped away, will you still stand on the Rock?

The Power of Agape Love: How to Love Your Enemies & Transform Your Life | Redeeming the Time with Chris Macy
What does it really mean to love like Jesus? In this heartfelt episode, Chris Macy explores “agape” love — the intentional, sacrificial love that chooses others even when it’s difficult.
Using powerful Scriptures and real-life illustrations, Chris shows how mastering this kind of love can resolve conflicts, heal relationships, and change the world around us.
📖 Key Scriptures: Galatians 5:22-25, Matthew 5:43-48, 1 John 3:11-22, Proverbs 25:21-22, Exodus 23:4-5
You’ll learn why love is not just a feeling — it’s a choice that reflects the very nature of God.

He shows how sharing partial truths, screenshots, or clips without full context is still gossip — and how it destroys reputations, families, and congregations.
You’ll learn:
• What the Bible actually says about gossip (Proverbs 18:8, James 3:6-8, Romans 1:29-30)
• Why it starts in an idle heart
• Practical ways to stop gossip in its tracks
