Truth for Today is a podcast by Pastor Terry Fant. A place to grow as a believer and to investigate as a nonbeliever.Topics for growth in every area of the Christian life.
Welcome back for Part II of this special Q&A as we continue answering some of life's most important questions through the truth of God's Word.
In this message, Pastor Terry Fant continues addressing common questions about eternity, heaven, and what the Bible teaches about life after death. Rather than relying on opinions or tradition, this study points us to the authority of Scripture and the hope found in Jesus Christ.
Whether you've wrestled with these questions yourself or want to better understand what the Bible says, we pray this message encourages your faith and deepens your confidence in God's Word.
Will we know our loved ones in heaven? Will our relationships continue in eternity?
In Part I of this special Q&A message, Pastor Terry Fant answers some of the most frequently asked questions by Christians, such as:
• Will we keep our identity in heaven?
• Will we recognize family and friends?
• Do believers become angels?
• Can those in heaven see what is happening on earth?
If you've ever wondered what eternity will be like, this biblical study offers hope, clarity, and encouragement rooted in God's Word.

Revival is more than emotional moments, outward activity, or religious tradition. True revival begins when we personally seek God, confront the things competing for our allegiance, restore the worship of God to its rightful place, and humbly respond to His Word.
Join us as we discover what is necessary for true revival and how a genuine pursuit of God transforms our priorities, confronts our competing loyalties, and redirects our lives.
No one is too far gone for the grace of God.
In 2 Chronicles 33:1–16, we see the powerful story of King Manasseh—a man who led others into sin, rejected God’s warnings, and found himself in a place of complete brokenness.
Yet when Manasseh humbled himself and cried out to God, the Lord graciously heard him and restored him. This message reminds us that following our own hearts can lead us to desolate places, but repentance opens the road to restoration.
God does not simply want us to feel regret over our sin; He calls us to humbly turn from our way, surrender to His truth, and produce fruit that reflects a changed life.
You don’t have to stay on the broken road. God restores those who humbly repent.
Our rebellion may change our condition, but it can never change God's character.
Failure is something every one of us knows. Whether it's in our marriage, our family, our faith, or our daily walk with Christ, we've all fallen short. But our failures are never the end of the story because God's mercy never fails.
If you've ever wondered whether you've gone too far, failed too many times, or drifted too far from God, this message is for you. Be encouraged by the truth that your failures do not define you—God's mercy does.
Adversity is inevitable—but it doesn't have to stop us. In this episode, we finish our journey through Nehemiah 4 and discover powerful lessons for persevering through adversity.
We are challenged to know and safeguard our weak spots, remember the Lord when fear and opposition arise, and embrace a “whatever it takes” mentality in the mission God has given us.
The enemy will attack our identity, our ability, and even the quality of the work God is doing through us. But we don't have to fight for victory—we fight from the victory Christ has already won.
So keep building. Keep serving. Keep fighting. Keep your eyes on Jesus!
In this episode we continue our journey through Nehemiah 4 and explore what it means to persevere through adversity. Following God does not mean opposition will disappear—in fact, we should expect the enemy to continue resisting the work God is doing in our lives.
But how do we remain faithful when the attacks continue? We must stay watchful. Through prayer, the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, and the church, God has given us the resources we need to recognize the enemy's attacks and continue moving forward.
Keep praying. Keep watching. Keep serving. And keep moving forward in the mission God has given you.
How should followers of Jesus respond when adversity comes?
In this episode of Truth For Today with Terry Fant, Terry continues the Persevering Through Adversity series by exploring the biblical “rules of engagement” found in Nehemiah 4. When opposition arises, our instinct is often to react, defend ourselves, or fight back. But Nehemiah shows us a better way.
Whether you’re facing conflict, criticism, spiritual opposition, or a difficult season of life, this episode will encourage you to respond with faith, prayer, and unwavering trust in God.

The Christian life isn’t a playground. It’s a battlefield. But as believers, we’re not fighting for victory; we’re fighting from the victory Jesus has already won.
In this episode, we explore one of Satan’s greatest strategies: causing believers to doubt who they are in Christ and what God can do through them.
If you’ve ever felt disqualified by your past, overwhelmed by your weaknesses, or discouraged by doubt, this episode will remind you that your confidence is found in Christ alone.
Learn to recognize the enemy’s schemes, stand firm in God’s truth, and walk in the victory that is already yours through Jesus.
In this special episode, filmed from Eagle Rock Camp in the mountains of East Tennessee, we sit down with Madalynne Baxter to discuss one of the most powerful passages in Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:18–21.
As this year’s youth camp focuses on the theme “Ambassadors,” we unpack what it truly means to represent Christ in a world that desperately needs the hope of the gospel.
Whether you’re a student, parent, ministry leader, or simply wanting to grow in your walk with Christ, this conversation will encourage you to embrace your identity as an ambassador for Jesus.
Revival begins when God returns to His rightful place in our lives.
In this message from 2 Chronicles 29:1–17, we look at the example of King Hezekiah and discover that true revival starts when worship becomes our highest priority. It calls us to pursue holiness, honestly evaluate our hearts, turn away from sin, and renew our commitment to the Lord.
Revival isn't simply an emotional moment—it's a work of God that transforms our hearts and is reflected in the way we live. We pray this message challenges and encourages you to put God first and experience the joy of walking closely with Him.
No matter how far we've wandered, God desires for His children to come home.
In this message from Hosea 14, we see God's invitation to return through repentance, confession, and faith in His grace.
While sin leaves us broken and empty, God delights in restoring, healing, and renewing those who turn back to Him.
If you've ever wondered whether God is ready to welcome you back, this message is a beautiful reminder that home is found in His presence—and it's where we were always meant to remain.
God's love never fails—even when we do. In this message from Hosea 1–3, we see a powerful picture of God's unfailing love for His people.
Through Hosea's story, we're reminded that sin is more than breaking rules—it's choosing lesser loves over the One who loves us perfectly. Yet even in our unfaithfulness, God continues to pursue us with grace, offering forgiveness, restoration, and a fresh start.
No matter where you are today, God's invitation is the same: turn away from the things that can never satisfy and return to the only love that never fails.
In this episode, we look at the calling of Matthew in Matthew 9 and discover an incredible truth: Jesus doesn’t define us by our failures, our past, or the labels others place on us. While everyone else saw Matthew as a traitor and a sinner, Jesus saw a man with value, purpose, and kingdom potential.
The same is true for you.
No matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done, Jesus sees you differently than you often see yourself. His invitation is still the same today: “Follow Me.”
After a mountaintop victory on Mount Carmel, the prophet Elijah finds himself in one of the lowest valleys of his life.
In this episode, we walk through the powerful story of 1 Kings 18–19, where victory is followed by vulnerability, and calling is tested in the quiet places of despair.
Elijah’s cave becomes a mirror for our own seasons of anxiety, discouragement, and isolation. In these seasons, we can rest knowing that there is still hope. There is still purpose. There is still a future. There is still a next step.
And maybe today, the same question that God asked Elijah is being asked of you: “What are you doing here?”
It is time to come out of that cave!
King Asa once faced impossible odds and cried out to God for help. God answered in a mighty way. But decades later, when another crisis came, Asa trusted his own plans instead of the Lord.
In this episode, Terry Fant walks through 2 Chronicles 15-16 and reveals how panic can lead us to make costly decisions.
When life puts you between a rock and a hard place, don’t panic. Learn to trust the God who delights in showing Himself strong on behalf of those who rely on Him.

Have you ever felt trapped between a rock and a hard place, unsure of what to do next? In this episode of Truth For Today, Terry looks at the life of King Asa in 2 Chronicles 14 and discovers how God's people should respond when they feel outnumbered, overwhelmed, and facing impossible odds.
Even while faithfully following God, Asa found himself facing an enemy army nearly twice the size of his own. Instead of relying on his strength, wisdom, or resources, he cried out to God for help and trusted the Lord with the outcome.
Prayer is not a last resort. It is the first response of faith. Learn why trusting God matters more than controlling the outcome and how a simple prayer of "Help, Lord" can change everything.
After one of the greatest victories of his life, Elijah found himself discouraged, afraid, exhausted, and hiding in a cave. In 1 Kings 19, we discover a powerful truth: God does not abandon His children in their moments of weakness. Instead, He meets them where they are, restores them, and calls them back to His purpose.
If you've ever struggled with disappointment, fear, isolation, depression, regret, or unmet expectations, this message is for you. The same God who sought out Elijah is still calling His people out of hiding today.
The cave may offer temporary comfort, but it can never provide lasting purpose. God did not create His people to hide in fear, disappointment, or complacency. He calls us to hear His voice, trust His plan, and step back into the abundant life He has prepared for us.
"Come out of that cave!"
How long will you limp between two opinions? In 1 Kings 18, Elijah confronts Israel with a question that still echoes today: Will you follow God completely, or will you continue trying to serve two masters?
On Mount Carmel, God exposes the emptiness of false gods and demonstrates His unmatched power and faithfulness.
In this message, we explore the danger of divided allegiance, the futility of idols that promise much but deliver nothing, and the reality that God alone is worthy of our complete devotion. While false gods always take and never give, the Lord powerfully reveals Himself as the One who saves, provides, and transforms lives.
Just as Elijah called Israel to make a decision, every person must answer the same question today: Who will you serve?
What if the life you've planned isn't the life God has planned for you? In this special episode of Truth For Today, Terry sits down with a group of young adults to discuss faith, dating, purpose, friendships, and discovering God's direction in some of life's most important seasons.
Whether you're trying to make decisions about your future, navigate relationships, choose a career path, or simply learn how to follow Christ more faithfully, this conversation offers practical encouragement and biblical wisdom for the journey ahead.
No matter where you are in your journey, one truth remains: God's plans are always better than our own.

What should a young woman look for in a future husband?
In this episode of Truth for Today, Terry Fant is joined by special guest Hallie Sims for an honest and practical conversation about dating with the intention of marriage.
Whether you're single, dating, engaged, or a parent seeking wisdom for the next generation, this episode offers biblical guidance for one of life's most important decisions.
"Don't settle. Choose wisely."
What should a Christian look for in a future spouse?
In this episode, Terry sits down with Josiah and several young men to discuss one of life's biggest decisions: choosing a husband or wife. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and years of marriage counseling, they explore what biblical dating should look like, the qualities that truly matter in a future spouse, and why character is far more important than outward appearance.
Whether you're single, dating, engaged, or helping guide the next generation, this conversation offers practical wisdom and biblical insight for building relationships on a solid foundation.

Even the wisest man who ever lived was not immune to the dangers of a divided heart.
In this message from 1 Kings 11:1-13, we examine the downfall of King Solomon and discover how small compromises can slowly pull our hearts away from wholehearted devotion to God.
Solomon's story serves as both a warning and an invitation: what captures our affection will ultimately shape our direction.
In this episode of Truth For Today, Terry Fant continues exploring seven powerful leadership principles from Matthew 14 and Jesus' encounter with the disciples on the Sea of Galilee. Through Peter's experience of walking on water, sinking, and being rescued by Christ, we discover timeless truths about faith, perseverance, and leading through adversity.
One of the clearest ways to grow in our knowledge of God is to understand what He loves and what He hates. In Proverbs 6:12-19, Scripture reveals seven things that are detestable to the Lord, not because God is harsh, but because each one stands in opposition to His holy character.
This message examines God's response to pride, lying, violence, wicked intentions, a passion for sin, false witness, and sowing discord. As we explore these truths, we also discover the beautiful qualities God loves: humility, truth, life, goodness, holiness, honesty, and peace.
The more we know God's heart, the more our hearts are transformed to reflect His. Join us as we learn what God hates, what He loves, and how growing in the knowledge of His character leads us to live lives that honor Him.
As children of God, we have a loving Father who does not leave us to navigate life on our own. In Proverbs 3:1-13, Solomon reveals the wisdom, guidance, and correction that flow from the heart of a Father who desires the very best for His children.
True joy is not found in independence from God, but in faithful obedience to His loving leadership. Join us as we discover how God's children can walk in His wisdom and experience the blessing, peace, and joy that come from following the Father's loving direction.
How does God build a house that no one can tear down?
In this message from Psalm 127, Pastor Terry Fant walks through what it means for the Lord to be the builder of our homes — starting with salvation through Jesus Christ, through the design of marriage, and into the calling of raising children as "arrows" aimed at the Kingdom.
Storms are inevitable… but they are also revealing. In this episode, we walk through Matthew 14 and uncovers powerful leadership lessons from Jesus and Peter on the stormy sea.
If you’re facing uncertainty, pressure, fear, or leadership challenges in your home, ministry, or daily life, this conversation will encourage you to trust the One who walks on water. 🌊
What if setting boundaries isn’t selfish… but actually biblical? In this episode, we take an honest look at what Scripture teaches about healthy boundaries through the example of Jesus Himself.
From guarding your heart to protecting your family, time, emotions, and relationships, this conversation unpacks how boundaries can actually create healthier, more loving relationships instead of destroying them.
Share this episode with someone who needs encouragement, healing, and freedom in their relationships.
Comparison is a subtle thief. In Psalm 73, Asaph takes us on a painfully honest journey from confidence in God to frustration, envy, and spiritual confusion. While looking at the success of the wicked, he began to lose sight of the goodness of God, and what started as comparison slowly became a slippery slope away from the Lord.
Join us as we walk through Psalm 73 and rediscover this powerful truth: no matter how far our hearts may wander, it is always good to draw near to God.
What is true worship? Is praise about style, instruments, tradition, or something deeper?
In this powerful conversation, Terry Fant and Marshall Allred unpack the difference between worship and praise, why God cares more about the heart than performance, and how praise becomes a weapon against the enemy.
Whether you lead worship, preach, serve in church, or simply want a deeper relationship with God, this episode will challenge and encourage you to worship “in spirit and in truth.”
What happens after the storm of betrayal? Can a marriage truly heal and become stronger than before? In this episode, Pastor Terry Fant continues this powerful series on infidelity, restoration, and healing in marriage.
Moving beyond "ground zero", this message focuses on rebuilding after betrayal and allowing God to create something deeper, healthier, and stronger than what existed before.
This episode is filled with biblical encouragement for couples seeking restoration, reminding listeners that healthy marriages are not marriages without storms, but marriages that learn to rebuild stronger through the grace of God.
“Don’t ask God to take you back to what was. Ask Him to build something better.”
When your heart is weighed down by guilt, weakness, or fear, Psalm 103 reminds us to look again at the unchanging mercy of God.
In Part II of “A Very Necessary Pep Talk,” we’re reminded that God has removed our sins, understands our weakness, and reigns forever as King over all creation.
The same God who knows us completely still loves us deeply, and that truth gives every reason to rise up and bless the LORD.
When your soul feels tired, discouraged, anxious, or forgetful, sometimes the most necessary sermon is the one you preach to yourself.
In this message from Psalm 103:1-10, we’re reminded to command our souls to bless the Lord and remember His unchanging benefits: forgiveness, mercy, redemption, and grace.
Praise rises when we stop rehearsing our problems and start remembering who God is and all He has done for us.
In this powerful episode of Truth For Today, Pastor Terry continues the conversation on surviving infidelity and navigating the painful aftermath of betrayal in marriage.
Speaking directly to the one who has committed the betrayal, this message explores the difference between regret and true biblical repentance, the weight of sin, the path toward confession and transparency, and the hope of restoration through Jesus Christ.
Whether you are walking through the devastation of adultery, fighting for your marriage, or seeking healing and restoration, this episode offers encouragement, clarity, and hope rooted in God’s Word.

Pain has a way of stripping life down to what truly matters. In Psalm 39, David teaches us that suffering can either harden our hearts or deepen our perspective.
This message explores how seasons of pain should drive us closer to God, causing us to carefully consider our words, our time, and where we place our hope. Life is brief, fragile, and borrowed, so we must not waste our days chasing what is temporary while neglecting what is eternal.
In times of pain, proper perspective is found not by looking inward, but by drawing near to God.
In Psalm 32, David reveals the difference between the misery of hidden sin and the joy of restored fellowship with God. This message explores how true happiness is not found in success, comfort, or self-denial, but in the forgiveness that comes through God’s grace.
Concealed sin drains the soul, but honest confession opens the door to mercy, healing, and lasting joy. Through Christ, God not only forgives our sin, He restores us to fellowship with Himself.
Forgiven people are called to live joyfully, walk closely with God, and rest in Him as their refuge and hiding place.
In this episode of Truth For Today with Terry Fant, Terry is joined by special guest Josiah Smith for a thoughtful and honest conversation about what the Bible actually says concerning sin. Is the popular phrase “sin is sin” truly biblical? Does God view every sin the same way?

In this episode of Truth for Today, Terry Fant tackles one of the most common cultural phrases: “I was born this way.” Is that idea biblical or misleading?
Looking at Scripture, Terry walks through what the Bible says about human nature, sin, and identity. Are our struggles the result of how God made us, or something deeper? From anger and addiction to lust and same-sex attraction, this episode explores the tension between cultural beliefs and biblical truth.
👉 If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, sin, or what it means to follow God in today’s culture, this episode will challenge and encourage you.
Are you searching for contentment in all the wrong places?
In this powerful message from Psalm 23, Pastor Terry unpacks the difference between living in contentment and living in want — and why the answer isn't about getting more, but about who's leading your life.
Whether your marriage feels too far gone, your anxiety won't quit, or you've been trying to be your own shepherd — this message is for you.
This message takes a careful look at what real repentance actually looks like: not surface regret, but soul-deep transformation.
This kind of sorrow doesn’t end in despair. It restores joy, leans on the Spirit’s help, and overflows into a renewed desire to tell others about God’s grace.
In the end, it recognizes the only true way home: not empty rituals, but a broken and surrendered heart before the Lord.
This message walks through the journey of true repentance: honestly facing our sinful nature, recognizing our inability to justify or hide our sin, and owning our guilt without excuse.
Sin is never small. It disregards God’s goodness, His Word, and ultimately God Himself. And while forgiveness is real, consequences are too.
Yet the story doesn’t end in ruin. Through humble repentance, God restores. He meets brokenness with mercy and rewrites what seemed beyond repair.
Are we all God’s children? While it may sound compassionate and inclusive, what does the Bible actually say?
Through Scripture, we discover a powerful distinction between being created by God and being a child of God.
The Bible teaches that while all people are made in God’s image, sin has separated us from Him, and only those who have been born again will become children of God.
This message is both eye-opening and life-changing, calling us to examine what we believe, align with God’s truth, and embrace the mission of sharing the gospel with others.
Culture often treats love as a feeling, but Scripture reveals that true love is a decision of the will, expressed even toward those who hurt us.
Jesus calls believers to love their enemies, forgive freely, and reflect the unconditional love God has shown us. This message challenges us to move beyond conditional love and walk in the freedom of Christlike love
Seasons of comfort and success can quietly become the moments when our hearts are most vulnerable.
In this message from 2 Samuel 11, we follow David’s journey from a rooftop to ruin and see how an unguarded heart led to lingering temptation, growing desire, and ultimately destructive sin.
This sermon reminds us that following our hearts apart from God’s truth leads to spiritual and relational devastation. Scripture warns that the heart is deceitful, and only by guarding it diligently can we avoid the progression of sin.
Pride has a way of leading us to places we never intended to go, while humility keeps our hearts aligned with God’s will.
When we choose humility, God is honored and He lifts us up in due time, but when we choose pride, we often find that the consequences rest squarely on our own shoulders.
Culture often says, “Don’t judge me” or “Only God can judge me,” but what does the Bible actually teach? In this episode of Truth for Today, Terry Fant begins a new series examining common cultural phrases and comparing them with the absolute truth of God’s Word.
Learn how biblical judgment protects the church, strengthens relationships, and helps believers pursue holiness, while keeping God as the only rightful judge of condemnation.
In this special teaching, we step away from our typical sermon series to focus on a vital topic for the life of the church: the biblical role of deacons.
Looking at Acts 6, this message explains where deacons come from, what they are called to do, and how God uses servant leaders to strengthen and support the ministry of the church.
Words have the power to build up or tear down. In this episode of Truth for Today, Terry Fant is joined by special guest Ben Scott to discuss how the words we speak can shape marriages, families, and relationships.
When we choose encouragement over criticism, we can strengthen others, restore relationships, and reflect Christ in our daily lives.
Whether you’re a spouse, parent, leader, or friend, this episode will challenge you to use your words to build up instead of tear down, and to find your identity in Christ so you can respond with grace.
Pastor Terry Fant walks through 1 Samuel 17 — the story of David and Goliath — and shares 6 truths about how God gives supernatural victory through faith.
Whether you're facing fear, doubt, or a giant you can't defeat on your own, this message will remind you: new giant, same God.
Pride quietly pulls our hearts away from full obedience to God.
In this message from 1 Samuel 15, we see how partial obedience, self-justification, and refusal to take responsibility reveal pride at work in our lives.
Discover why God values obedience, how He exposes what pride conceals, and why rebellion always leads to a fall, but humility leads us back to Him.
Israel rejected God and asked for a king, yet the Lord responded not with rejection—but with an invitation: “Even now, return to Me.”
In this message from 1 Samuel 12, we’re reminded that because God is faithful, it’s never too late to follow Him.
Learn how acknowledging God’s faithfulness, confessing sin, and walking in obedience allows us to move forward in grace, no matter our past failures.
In this episode of Truth for Today with Terry Fant, we continue in 1 Peter 3 and focus on what it means to be a “winning husband.”
Discover how God calls men to dwell with their wives in understanding, honor them as co-heirs of grace, and lead with humility and intentional love. Be encouraged to strengthen your relationship, honor God in your home, and live out your faith in a way that impacts your family and your prayers.
Ladies, what does it look like to honor God in your marriage—even when it’s difficult?
In this episode of Truth for Today, we explore how a Christlike spirit, godly conduct, and inner beauty can shine the light of Jesus in challenging circumstances and relationships.
Discover how God uses humility, gentleness, and faithful living to influence hearts and strengthen marriages for His glory.

In 1 Samuel 8, Israel asks for a king, choosing what looks good instead of trusting God’s rule.
This message reminds us that choosing sight over faith always leads toward bondage, while trusting God leads to true freedom. Even in our desires and decisions, God calls us to surrender and let Him be our King.
In this message, we, look at the calling of Gideon in Judges 6 and were reminded that God is mighty to transform. Even when fear, failure, and doubt surround us, God sees the potential of a life fully surrendered to Him. When we stop leaning on ourselves and start trusting the Lord, He makes us strong in His power and purpose.
What is the greatest accomplishment of all time? In this message, we explore the finished work of Jesus Christ: His crucifixion, resurrection, and the eternal impact it has for all people.
Through the cross, Jesus accomplished what no one else could: He qualified the unqualified, delivered us from darkness, transferred us into His kingdom, and redeemed us through His blood.
The greatest accomplishment has already been finished. The question now is: will you receive Him as Lord, and will you make Him your highest priority?
Raising boys in today’s world can feel overwhelming, but God’s Word gives clear direction. In this practical episode, Terry Fant shares biblical principles for parenting sons: teaching respect, setting boundaries, disciplining wisely, and shaping boys into godly men.
Learn how to raise boys who don’t just obey rules, but make wise, Christ-honoring decisions that will impact generations.
In this episode of Truth for Today, we’re reminded that Satan is not equal to God and never has been.
What looked like victory for the enemy at the cross actually became his greatest defeat. Through Scripture, we see how God used even the schemes of Satan to accomplish redemption, disarm the powers of darkness, and secure victory for believers.
If you’re facing spiritual battles today, this message will encourage you to stay close to Jesus and walk in the victory already won at the cross.

In this Holy Week episode, we walk through the powerful moment of the Last Supper in John 13, where Jesus humbles Himself to wash His disciples’ feet.
Through this act, we see a clear picture of Christlike love—one that serves, surrenders, and values others above self.
This message challenges us to lay down pride, live a “listening lifestyle” before God, and love even those who are difficult to love. As we reflect on Jesus’ example, we’re invited to follow Him not just in knowledge, but in action.
It’s possible to look right on the outside and still be far from God on the inside.
In this episode, we learn that Jesus challenges empty religion and calls us to authentic faith. This message explores what it truly means to be transformed, not just in appearance, but at the heart level, and how faith in Jesus gives us the power to overcome.
As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the crowd celebrates, but they misunderstand who He truly is.
In this powerful message from John 12, we’re reminded that Jesus didn’t come to meet expectations. He came to secure salvation. He is the King who brings peace, conquers death, and offers life through His own sacrifice.
Will you recognize Him for who He truly is?
What if something as simple as an invitation could change someone’s life forever?
In this message, we explore the incredible ripple effect of a single invitation—starting with Jesus saying “come and see,” leading to Andrew inviting Peter, and ultimately resulting in thousands coming to faith.
Whether it’s inviting someone to church, sharing your story, or simply saying “come with me,” God can use your obedience to transform lives in ways you may never fully see.
One invitation could change everything!
What does it really take to walk in victory? In Joshua 1, God gives a clear roadmap for His people—not just for survival, but for victory. The same principles still apply today.
Victory doesn’t come from our strength alone, but from following God fully. This message unpacks the essential truths we need to live the life God has called us to—one marked by strength, courage, obedience, and His presence.
What does it mean to truly return to God—and what happens when you do? In Deuteronomy 30, we see a powerful picture of both God’s sovereign grace and our responsibility to respond. God promises restoration to those who repent—not just outwardly, but with a genuine heart that seeks Him.
No matter how far you’ve gone, God invites you back to a place of peace, joy, and purpose. But there’s a choice to make.
God’s people have always been called to live differently—set apart, fully His, and faithful in a culture that pulls us the other way. This episode is a powerful reminder that God did not choose us because of our strength or goodness, but simply because He loves us and has redeemed us through His grace.
If you’ve been struggling with compromise, identity, or feeling unworthy of being used by God, this message points back to the truth: you are chosen, treasured, and called to walk closely with Him.
This sermon reminds us that God’s love is not based on our strength, worthiness, or accomplishments, but on His faithfulness, grace, and covenant love.
You’ll be encouraged to see that the same God who delivered and redeemed His people still calls His people to live differently today.
If you’ve ever struggled to understand why God would love you, this message is a strong reminder: you are treasured by God, and that truth should change how you live.
In this message, we see both the seriousness of sin and the mercy of God.
When the Israelites were bitten by fiery serpents, God provided one way of rescue — and that rescue points directly to Jesus Christ, who was lifted up so that all who look to Him in faith might be saved.
This sermon is a clear and compelling reminder that salvation is not found in human effort, religion, or self-improvement, but in Christ alone. If you’ve ever wrestled with guilt, sin, or the question of how someone is truly saved, this message points us to the one answer God has provided.
What happens when we stop trusting God and start leaning on our own understanding?
Israel’s rebellion in the wilderness reminds us that unbelief does not leave us neutral—it shapes our decisions, impacts our future, and can even affect those who come behind us.
Whether you are struggling with doubt, carrying the weight of past failures, or longing to lead your family in faith, this message points back to the hope, correction, and grace found in God’s Word.
How often do we let fear, doubt, and what we see in front of us speak louder than what God has already said?
In this message from Numbers 13–14, we’re reminded that unbelief can keep us wandering when God is calling us to trust Him and move forward in faith.
The giants were not Israel’s greatest problem—unbelief was. This sermon challenges us to stop giving more weight to the opposition than to the promises of God, and to ask Him to strengthen our faith for whatever we are facing today.
Grace is more than the moment God saves us. In this message, Terry Fant shows how God’s grace not only brings salvation, but also trains, corrects, and redirects us when we begin to drift from His will.

What does it really mean to “deconstruct” your faith?
This episode challenges you to anchor your faith not in emotions or culture, but in something unchanging. We find that truth is not reconstructed, it's revealed.
If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, questions, or your beliefs—this conversation is for you.
In this episode, we explore what Jesus actually said about the end times in Matthew 24 and why believers are called to live with readiness, urgency, and peace instead of fear.
Your life has a measure. How will you spend the time you have?
In this episode, Terry Fant is joined by Paul Young as they continue their conversation through Philippians 4. Together they explore how true peace and contentment come from more than positive thinking—it comes from a life that follows Christ in both belief and action.

Where does unbelief lead?
In Numbers 14, the people of Israel stand at the edge of the Promised Land. God had promised them victory, yet they chose to trust their own understanding instead of trusting Him. That single decision led them into forty years of wandering in the wilderness.
In this message, we explore the destination of unbelief. Unbelief doesn’t simply mean a lack of faith—it often means trusting our own judgment more than God’s Word. When we rely on ourselves instead of the Lord, it leads to frustration, loss, and missed opportunities.
The challenge of this passage is simple but powerful:
Will we trust our understanding, or will we trust God?
How much is enough?
In Part 2 of this message from Numbers 11, we continue learning how discontentment can lead us away from God—and how true satisfaction is found in Him alone.

How much is enough?
In Numbers 11, the people of Israel had the presence of God, His provision, and His daily care—yet they still complained and craved more. Their desire for something different led them into frustration, distorted their memories, and caused them to forget the goodness of God already in their midst.
In this message, we learn that unchecked desires can lead us into spiritual meltdowns. But the truth remains simple and powerful: God Himself is enough. When we learn to trust His provision, rest in His presence, and surrender our cravings to Him, we discover the contentment our hearts have been searching for all along.
In this episode, Terry Fant and Harrell Riley discuss the powerful truth of Philippians 4:6–8 and how believers can live with peace instead of anxiety.
They explore how prayer, thanksgiving, and focusing our minds on what is true and good allows the peace of God to guard our hearts and minds in a chaotic world.

Everything in life changes—our health, our strength, our relationships, even our passions. But Leviticus 26 reminds us of one unshakable truth: God does not change.
Because He is faithful, three realities remain constant—obedience brings blessing, rebellion brings discipline, and repentance brings mercy.
The question is not whether God will respond—but how far He will have to go to bring us back.
In this message from Leviticus 17–22, we discover that worship is far more than singing; it is any action or inaction that proves what God is worth to us.
From the sanctity of blood to the call to holiness, God makes it clear that He alone defines how He is to be worshiped. Because He sanctifies, delivers, and adopts us, our only reasonable response is obedient, wholehearted worship.
Is your view of God too small? In this episode, we revisit the holiness of God and wrestle with a question many believers overlook: have we reduced Him to something more comfortable and less reverent?
Looking at Scripture, we’re reminded that God is not casual, tame, or to be approached lightly. A right view of His holiness deepens our gratitude for His grace, and reshapes the way we live before Him.

Are we majoring in the minors as parents? In this episode, Terry challenges families to slow down, seek first the Kingdom of God, and build homes centered on Christ rather than constant busyness. What we prioritize today shapes who our children become tomorrow.
In a culture driven by outrage and opinion, believers are called to something higher. In Part 2 of God Is Holy, we explore what it looks like to pursue holiness in our speech, our reactions, and our daily lives. The question isn’t just “Is it sin?” — it’s “Is it holy?”

Failure doesn’t have to be final. In Exodus 33, Israel stands in the aftermath of the golden calf—ashamed, exposed, and uncertain about God’s presence.
Yet in this “learning ground of failure,” we discover something powerful: God is full of grace and truth. He does not lower His standard, but He also does not abandon His people.
Through repentance, mediation, and Moses’ bold intercession, we see that real failure can lead to deeper worship, a hunger for God’s presence, and a life set apart.
The question is not whether we’ve failed—but what we learn in it. Will your failure push you away from God… or draw you closer?
God is holy — completely other and set apart. If He has called us into relationship with Himself, then our lives are meant to be holy too. This episode challenges us to stop asking “Is it sin?” and start asking, “Is it holy?”

What does waiting reveal about your heart?
In this message, we’re reminded that God not only deserves our worship, He demands it. When we grow impatient, we often attempt to take God’s place, conform to culture, and justify compromise.
Praise is more than music, It’s a response. When we truly see God's greatness, His forgiveness, His healing power, and His salvation, praise is revealed, not manufactured.

Praise is more than music—it’s a spiritual weapon. Scripture shows us that praise is not passive or performative, but an active response that pushes back against both the enemy and our own flesh.
When praise becomes more than a song, it strengthens our faith, prepares our hearts to receive God’s Word, and helps us walk with trust in every season.
What should we do when life leaves us trapped between a rock and a hard place? This message walks through five anchoring truths that help us trust God in the middle of fear, uncertainty, and pressure. When life feels impossible, we are reminded that God is working for His glory and our good, and He alone is able to rescue, protect, and deliver His people.
Why should we follow God when the path feels unclear or difficult? In Exodus 13–14, we see that God leads His people out of bondage and into freedom, not always by the shortest route, but by the right one. This message reminds us that God rescues us, goes before us, knows the way we need to take, and ultimately leads us to victory.
Do you ever feel disqualified by fear, failure, or what you think you lack?
This message explores how fear, hypotheticals, and perceived shortcomings often limit our obedience, while God’s presence and power unlock unlimited potential. When God calls, He also equips, helps, and stays with us every step of the way.
What do we do when God doesn’t answer our prayers the way we hoped? In this episode, we continue our discussion on "Even If" Faith, focusing on how to practically live this faith out in our lives.

What can God do with a broken past, a hesitant heart, and an unlikely servant? In Exodus 3, God calls Moses from a burning bush and reveals timeless truths about who He is and how He works.
This message walks through seven powerful lessons that remind us that every rescue begins with a cry for help, God is holy and personal, and He delights in using unlikely people for impossible missions. When we understand who God is—and who we are in Him—we can live the abundant life and walk confidently in His calling.
Life is full of adversity, but what if hardship is not meant to crush us, but to clarify us? In Job 42, we see how God uses suffering to give us a clearer picture of who He is and who we are.
Through Job’s response to God, this message reminds us that adversity reveals our dependence, deepens our understanding of God’s character, and calls us to trust Him fully. God still rewards those who faithfully seek Him, even in the hardest seasons of life.
What is the knowledge of GOD? Why is it spoken of so much in the new testament? What impact does it have on grace and peace in my life? Tune in for these answers and much more!
Sometimes the biggest thing standing in the way of God’s help… is us. In this episode, we look at the story of Naaman and see how pride can block the rescue God wants to give. Humility isn’t easy, but it’s the key to experiencing God’s best.
In 1 Kings 17, God provides for Elijah in unexpected ways. This message encourages us to trust that when we walk by faith, God will always make a way to meet our needs.
In this message, we’re reminded that God honors those who are faithful to Him. When we choose loyalty to the Lord, He responds with strength, protection, and blessing. Tune in and be encouraged to stay faithful—because loyalty has its rewards!
What are you doing with your time, talent, and treasure? What are you building with your life—and is it truly meaningful? In this message, we’re reminded that the only life that truly matters is the one lived for the Lord.
Tune in to discover how you can live a life full of purpose and meaning.
Who are you following?
Maybe a better question is—are you leading yourself? In this message, we explore how following "me" leads to hard places. But when we follow God, even the hard places can become pleasant places.
Who or what is calling the shots in your life? Have you ever found yourself following the wrong lead—whether it was your emotions, a habit, or some other influence—only to end up where you never intended to be? In this message, we uncover one of the most common "masters", learn how to break its grip, and discover how to let the Lord take His rightful place as the master of your life.
Wisdom has great value -- but only when it's applied. Don’t just hear it, live it. Tune in to this message and discover how to receive and walk in true wisdom!
God is love—but does He hate anything?
We often associate God with love—and rightly so. But in Proverbs 6, Scripture reveals seven things that God hates. In this episode, we explore what those are, why they matter, and how we can guard our hearts and lives against them.
Avoid adultery—avoid devastation. In this episode, we dive into Proverbs 5 to examine the far-reaching consequences of adultery and discover how to guard our hearts against this destructive sin. Lean in and learn how wisdom leads to freedom.
Sometimes, you just have to celebrate what God has done in your life! In this message, we’re reminded that our lives should be living proof of His transforming work. God truly changes people—for His glory and for our good.
In this message, we explore the important truth that God graciously guides His children. Through conviction and correction, He lovingly leads us toward repentance and restoration in every area of our lives.
If we’re honest… most of us don’t like being helped. Pride often gets in the way of receiving the help we desperately need. But in this message, we’re reminded of two powerful truths: 1. We need God’s help. 2.God loves to help those who love Him.
God is the remedy for our despair! No matter how bad a situation may seem, we should cry out to God and wait for his help. He promises to be with us!
Our attitude matters. In every circumstance, we have a choice: to be grateful for what God has given us or to envy what others have or what we wish we had. Envy can rob us of gratitude and distort our view of God’s design for our lives. In this message, we’re reminded that God Himself is the true treasure we are meant to seek.
Have you ever experienced true forgiveness? Or maybe the better question is: Is there someone in your life you need to forgive? God has modeled perfect forgiveness for us—and His forgiveness offers lasting joy.
Who or what are you pursuing in order to find contentment? Are you being led by the Good Shepherd, or are there other things in your life leading you? In this message, we learn to look to God as our Good Shepherd—our protector and provider in every season of life.
In this episode, we explored what it means to have a loyal and generous heart. We reflected on the powerful truth: “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Our hope is that today’s message challenged and encouraged you to examine your heart, and ask God to change it to be more like His!
Has your joy ever felt stolen? Life is full of distractions, challenges, and moments that try to rob us of lasting joy. In this episode, we explore how true joy isn’t found in perfect circumstances—but in trusting God through every season.

Ever felt overwhelmed and tried to handle it all on your own? In this episode, we’re reminded that when we humbly bring our needs to God, He meets us with grace and gives the help we truly need.
Does sin have to define your life? Is failure the end of your story? While sin carries real consequences, there is hope — God, in His grace, offers redemption and a new beginning beyond our shortcomings.
In life, we all face two powerful enemies that, if left unchecked, can lead to our downfall. In this message, we uncover what these enemies are and how you can stand firm in your faith to resist them — and walk in lasting victory.
