Are you ready to live a life that reflects Jesus more and more each day? In this program, Chip shares with us the blueprint to becoming a Christian who really lives like a Christian. Join us as we study the life of Jesus and hone in on 3 essential practices He modeled–that will transform our faith and deepen our connection to God. Main Points
Introduction:
How can we address the discipleship deficit?
I. The problem
There is a need for discipleship
II. The invitation of Jesus
Jesus invites us to a life of abundance and purpose.
III. We must come to Jesus and learn from Him if we are to experience the life He promises
We must take His Yoke and learn from Him.
IV. Coming to Jesus is an event and a lifelong process of learning to follow His example and His teaching
The event = salvation - John 3:16
The process = discipleship - Matthew 4:19
The person = the path - John 14:6
V. Jesus practiced “the way†of living in dependency on the Spirit and submission to the Father
He came Before God
He did life In Community
He was On Mission 24/7
VI. Jesus taught His disciples what was required to continually experience the supernatural life He gave them
Abiding in Christ - John 15:1-11
Loving each other - John 15:12-17
Witnessing to the world - Matthew 28:18-20
VII. Until we grasp “the heart of God†and the why of discipleship, we will be destined to methods and programs that lead to discouragement, legalism, or self-righteousness.
Because of what Jesus did we can: know Him, love Him and serve Him.

Maybe you've heard someone say, “Jesus is the God of second chances." Well, they're right. Jesus is the One you can go to and say, "I blew it. I want a do over. I failed. I’m sorry. Will You give me another chance?" The question is, how does that actually happen? How do you get cleansed, forgiven, and headed back on the right track? Chip shares, from Psalm 51, how you can be forgiven, restored, and set free.Main Points
Introduction:
What all humans have in common is failure.
But with God. . . FAILURE IS NEVER FINAL!
A song of confession: Psalm 51
7 steps to spiritual recovery:
COME clean with God! - 2 Samuel 12:13
ASK God for forgiveness. - Psalm 51:1-2
OWN Responsibility for your sin. - Psalm 51:3-5
ACCEPT God’s forgiveness and cleansing. - Psalm 51:6-9
REQUEST a “fresh†work of grace! - Psalm 51:10-12
RESOLVE to use past failures for ministry. - Psalm 51:13-17
PRAY for “limited fall-out†from your folly.

You’ve probably heard that God created you as a one-of-a-kind treasure and He’s got a great plan for you life. But you may not know how to tap into it.

Five things to remember: When you feel like a nobody, going nowhere
Psalm 139
God knows you! (vs. 1-6) You are understood by God
God is pursuing you! (vs. 7-12) You are chosen/wanted by God
God made you! (vs. 13-16a) You are awesome/precious in God's sight
God has a plan just for you! (vs. 16b-18) You are indispensible to God.
God’s world is warped with wickedness! (vs. 19-24) You have a choice to make.

We live in a very me-centered world. It’s all about what I want when I want it and what everyone else can do for me. In this program, Chip talks about the appeal and benefits of a Jesus-centered life. Learn why the counterintuitive path that Christ leads us down actually delivers the joy, peace, and love that we all long for. Main Points
Introduction:
When Jesus speaks of love the issues is not emotions, intentions, or feelings; it’s a question of loyalty. - 1 John 2:15-17
The Principle:
God must work deeply “in†you before He works significantly “through†you.
First, let God work deeply “in†you. -- Hebrews 12:1-3
Second, let God work powerfully “through†you. -- Nehemiah 1-6
Summary:
We are “the Nehemiah’s†of our day. Our sacrifices and tribulations to pierce the darkness will seem so small when we look back from eternity.

Do you believe God is only interested in using super-spiritual, well-educated, prepared Christians? In this program, Chip explains why that idea is untrue, as he describes the simple profile of a person God wants to work through. As Chip unpacks Jesus' life and ministry, we will better understand the one fundamental characteristic Christ looks for in believers today.Main Points

How would you describe your relationship with God? Are you close? Or is it more like that co-worker you see daily but know nothing about? In this program, Chip will give us a simple, spiritual litmus test. Learn how connected you are to your Heavenly Father and what you can do to develop deeper intimacy.Main Points
Introduction:
What do Hebrews 11:6, Niagara Falls, and Jesus’ most important parable have in common?
The Question:
How did Jesus make disciples (in such a hostile environment) that were so much like Him that they overcame the darkness and changed the world?
He modeled what He wanted them to become.
He taught them the “secret†of the Kingdom of God (how life-change happens) - Mark 4:13-20
Jesus tested their faith and revealed His power so they could trust His Word in the darkest of times. - Mark 4:35-5:43

If you watch the nightly news or scroll through social media, you would think everything is hopeless and too terrible to fix. But in this program, Chip challenges that idea by looking at how God has worked throughout history and the ways He is active right now. Hear why, despite all the negativity and evil happening in our world, we can trust God and His plan of redemption. Main Points
5 Realities of our world today:
We are living in a dark world locally, nationally, and globally.
God’s story from beginning to end gives us a certain hope to pierce the darkness.
Jesus’ “life†is the light and the darkness can never overcome it.
God’s greatest work has always occurred in the darkest moments in human history.
Jesus’ “life†(what He actually did) launched His Kingdom of light movement by starting small, dreaming big, and going deep.
Jesus Modeled:
Surrender to the Father
Separation from the world
Sober self-assessment
Serving in love
Supernatural response to evil
Jesus Commanded:
Surrender all
Separate from the world
Sober self-assessment
Serve in love
Supernatural response to evil
We must BE what we want others to BECOME.

Do you feel like the whole world is spiraling out of control? Has that caused you to lose hope and be discouraged? In this program, Chip will remind us that there is an incredible reason for hope as long as we look to the right source. Join us as we study the life and ministry of Jesus and what His example teaches us about breaking through the darkness of our world. Main Points
5 Realities of our world today:
We are living in a dark world locally, nationally, and globally.
God’s story from beginning to end gives us a certain hope to pierce the darkness.
Jesus’ “life†is the light and the darkness can never overcome it.
God’s greatest work has always occurred in the darkest moments in human history.
Jesus’ “life†(what He actually did) launched His Kingdom of light movement by starting small, dreaming big, and going deep.
Jesus Modeled:
Surrender to the Father
Separation from the world
Sober self-assessment
Serving in love
Supernatural response to evil
Jesus Commanded:
Surrender all
Separate from the world
Sober self-assessment
Serve in love
Supernatural response to evil
We must BE what we want others to BECOME.

Chip begins this program asking, “With whom or what are you most angry, right now?†He wraps up this study in the book of Matthew, with a reminder about what Jesus would say regarding that person or issue, helping us get a little Kingdom perspective - because perspective changes the very same circumstances from disaster to opportunity. Don’t miss this powerful conclusion to What the World Needs Now.Main Points
The fundamental problem in the world is…Life’s not fair!
The fundamental problem in our lives is…We don’t measure up!
Jesus’ final and most outrageous teaching:
The law of retribution --- Matthew 5:38-42
The law of love --- Matthew 5:39-48
We are never more like Jesus than when we treat people in a way they don’t deserve.

In a day when injustice of every kind is being called out - “That’s wrong, it’s not fair, something has to change and it has to change now!†- it’s clear that something inside us demands justice. In this program, Chip continues in the book of Matthew, to explain Jesus’ teaching and His plan for justice to prevail.Main Points

In a global atmosphere of division and rancor, how do Christians live like Christians? How do we express love and concern, and overcome even our own anger and bitterness? In this program, Chip tells us, apart from the saving grace and sovereign influence of Jesus, nothing of lasting value can happen. From the book of Matthew and Jesus’ own teaching, Chip reveals the path to becoming a relational bridge-builder, regardless of our circumstances.Main Points
Topic #1 - The 6th Commandment
No murder by violent hands - Matthew 5:21
No murder by angry hearts or lethal lips - Matthew 5:22
Jesus' application:
The parable of priority: right relationships trump religious requirements every time.
The parable of urgency: delayed obedience will result in dire consequences.
Steps to humble bridge-building:
Do you have anger, bitterness, or resentment toward anyone, past or present?
Have you murdered anyone in your heart or with your lips?
Will you confess this sin right now and receive God’s full forgiveness?
Can you think of anyone who might feel angry or resentful towards you? Will you commit to make that relationship right “as far as it depends on you�
Will you STOP and thank God for His love and kindness and blessings in your life right now?

Division, hate, and violence, don’t start with words. They begin in the heart. The disunity we see happening in our country and around the world - in homes, on the streets, and in the media - is ultimately caused by a driving force who’s aim is for that disunity to prevail. Scripture tells us our battle isn’t against flesh and blood. So, how do we become humble bridge-builders in the midst of the conflict? Chip addresses that in this program.Main Points

These days, there are plenty of causes and no shortage of agendas. Experts are everywhere and everyone’s got an opinion. In this program, Chip asks: What’s Jesus’ opinion about what’s happening and what’s His expert advice? Don’t miss His answers.Main Points
Overview of Matthew 5:
3-12: The characteristics of His true followers and their promised rewards
13-16: Salt and light: The movement’s strategy
17-20: Relationship of this new teaching to the Law of Moses
Jesus' Warnings - 4 "movement killers"
Key issue = motives - Who am I seeking to please?
Key issue = materialism - Whose agenda am I seeking to accomplish?
Key issue = misapplication - Where am I mis-applying Jesus' teaching?
Key issue = misperception
Have I entered through the narrow gate and does my life reflect one who is...
Poor in spirit?
Mourns?
Meek?
Hungering & thirsting for righteousness?
Merciful?
Pure in heart?
A peacemaker?
Persecuted because of righteousness?

There’s no shortage of expert advice on what the world needs now - opinions abound and division increases. The question is: What would Jesus have us hear in the midst of the confusion and chaos? In this program, Chip goes to the book of Matthew for the answer.Main Points

Are you in a painful, confusing season of life right now? Maybe you’ve lost your job, have a conflict with a spouse or a child, or just received a sudden diagnosis. Whatever it is, do you wish there was a biblical guide to respond to adversity? In this program, Chip will share three questions you need to ask when challenges come. Discover how these prompts will get you through the most trying experiences and grow your faith.Main Points
Three Questions to consider in times of adversity:
How does Jesus want to use this adversity in your life for good?
How does Satan want to use this adversity for your downfall?
How can Satan turn a God-allowed trial into a lethal temptation?
Satan is a master in deception; his MO is built on lies about:
God
You
The future
Your faith
Dark cloud “raining†down adversities:
Satan’s filter (deception):
Reaction: fear, overwhelmed, unfairness, where is God?
Leads to attitudes of: anger, despair, abandonment
End in: self-medicating, over-spending, acting out, addiction, isolation, etc.
God’s filter (truth):
You’re not alone
It’s intended for your good
Attitude: big step of faith to “consider it all joyâ€
Action: don’t give up (persevere)

When did moral standards like fidelity, honesty, and sacrificial love give way to safe sex, adultery, and living together? In this program, Chip continues addressing society's abandonment of biblical morality. Discover the devastating impact moral relativism has had on the culture and the church - and what Jesus said about absolute truth.Main Points
Introduction: We’ve got a problem!
The symptom: Moral issues
The issues: Ethics and values
The dilemma: Who determines what’s right or wrong?
The question: What is truth?
Understanding the real problem: Diagnosis - Our view of truth has dramatically shifted in the last 50-60 years.
Among Intellectuals - Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis
In Education - The Closing of the American Mind by Allan Bloom
In Law & Science - Reason in the Balance: The Case Against Naturalism in Science, Law, and Education by Phillip E. Johnson
In Culture - Escape from Reason by Francis A. Schaeffer AND The God Who Is There by Francis A. Schaeffer
How is the “relative truth –vs– absolute truth†conflict played out daily?
Public Rhetoric = Truth is Relative - "All are right," Pluralism, Tolerance
Private Rhetoric = Truth is Absolute - "My rights," Justice, Fairness
Painful Reults = Sowing and Reaping
What did Jesus say about truth?
Jesus’ outrageous claims …about Himself -John 14:6 | …about His Word -John 17:17
Jesus’ outrageous concern …about you -John 4:23 | …about your freedom -John 8:32

In this program, Chip addresses these critical questions, as he pulls back the curtain on the history of moral relativism.

As a follower of Jesus, what should you do if you are invited to a wedding for a same-sex couple? What if someone asks you to use their personal pronouns? In this program, Chip and Pastor Tim Lundy continue wrestling with these real-life challenges that Christians face. Learn how to practically apply the truth and wisdom of God’s Word in your home, workplace, and community.Main Points
Purpose of Addressing Controversial Issues:
Tim's Motivation: Tim's engagement with heavy issues like sexuality and LGBTQ topics is driven by pastoral concern rather than a desire for controversy. He sees a need to address these issues due to the prevalence of false teachings and questions from families and teenagers. His goal is to shepherd families and present truth in a straightforward manner.
Handling Difficult Conversations with Children:
Listening and Grace: Tim emphasizes the importance of listening to children who come out as LGBTQ. Parents should create a space where their children feel heard, and they should express love and support while balancing grace with truth. He stresses that while the church and the family have a responsibility to uphold Biblical truth, they must also navigate the tension between their beliefs and their children's identities with grace.
Understanding and Communicating the Gospel:
Gospel’s Radical Grace: Tim explains that the Gospel is about Christ's grace despite our sin. He argues that salvation is not about moral perfection but about the transformative work of Christ. The question of whether LGBTQ individuals can be Christians should be framed in the context of the broader Gospel message, which applies to all sin, not just homosexuality.
No Barriers, No Compromise: Tim advocates for no barriers to coming to Christ, meaning people should not be expected to "clean up" their lives before embracing the Gospel. However, he also stresses the importance of not compromising on Biblical teachings and encouraging growth in righteousness.
Feedback and Reactions:
Mixed Reactions: Tim received feedback from different sides of the spectrum. Some felt his approach endorsed LGBTQ lifestyles, while others were uncomfortable with his stance on not compromising on moral issues. He views this pushback as an indication of addressing the issues clearly and effectively.
Broader Context of Sin and the Church’s Focus:
Consistency in Addressing Sin: Tim and Chip discuss the Church's tendency to focus on certain sins, like homosexuality, while neglecting others, such as pornography or adultery. They stress the need for a consistent approach to all forms of sin, emphasizing that all sin separates people from God and that the Gospel offers restoration to all.
Attending a Gay Wedding:
Gray Area: The question of whether to attend a gay wedding is seen as a gray area rather than black and white. Tim suggests that while the Bible is not explicitly clear on this issue, principles from passages like Romans 14-16 about gray areas in faith should be applied.
Conscience and Relationship: Decisions should be guided by one's conscience and the nature of the relationship. Some Christians may attend a wedding as a gesture of love and maintaining a relationship, while others may choose not to if it seems to endorse the union as a Christian marriage.
Objective: The focus should be on whether attending is for the sake of the Gospel or to avoid family tension. The intention should be clear and genuine, not just about making peace.
Using Personal Pronouns for Transitioning People:
Cultural Impact: Some view using preferred pronouns as supporting a cultural shift that they believe distorts truth. Others, particularly in therapeutic settings, see respecting pronouns as a way to build trust with those experiencing gender dysphoria.
Context Matters: In professional settings, Christians may need to navigate these issues carefully, balancing their beliefs with their role as salt and light in the workplace. Tim suggests using names instead of pronouns as a middle ground while remaining respectful.
Hosting a Gay Couple Overnight:
Consistency: It's important to be consistent with biblical standards. If you apply a standard for gay couples, ensure the same standard applies to heterosexual situations.
Teaching Children: Explain your stance to children appropriately, helping them understand why certain behaviors are not accepted while showing love to those who differ.
Pornography:
Destructive Nature: Pornography is described as highly destructive, affecting mental health and relationships deeply. It has the same addictive properties as drugs and causes significant harm to marriages and individual well-being.
Need for Help: Overcoming pornography addiction typically requires external help and community support. Tim emphasizes the importance of not facing this struggle alone and highlights church programs like Warrior Men and Journey Women that offer support.
General Encouragement:
Cultural Challenges: Despite the fast-changing cultural landscape, Christians should not be afraid. Historical examples show that faith can thrive in countercultural settings.
Hope and Grace: Emphasis is placed on the availability of God's grace and the importance of seeking help, especially when dealing with heavy burdens like addiction.

For moms and dads desperate for practical answers, you do not want to miss the wisdom they will share from God’s Word.Main Points

Is gender a fluid concept or a fixed statement? Are you born a man or a woman, or do you get to choose? In this program, guest teacher Pastor Tim Lundy looks to Scripture for answers to these questions that so many people in society are wrestling with. Hear why a Bible-based sexual ethic offers hope and genuine love from a God who made men and women in His image.Main Points
Introduction:
As Christians, our approach to sex and gender must be marked by grace and truth.
When approaching transgender issues, we protect against the ideology while still caring about the individual. -John 10:11-12; Luke 15:4
Understanding the terms:
Sex: Refers to a person’s biological status and is typically categorized as male, female, or intersex.
Gender: The psychological, social, and cultural aspects of being male or female.
Gender Dysphoria: Distress some people feel when their internal sense of self doesn’t match their biological sex. (Early onset, Late / Adolescent onset, and Rapid onset gender dysphoria)
Transgender: An umbrella term that describes people whose gender identity or expression does not match the sex they were assigned at birth.
What does the Bible say? (Sprinkle, pages 63-77)
The body is essential to our image-bearing status. -Genesis 1:27
Male and female in Genesis 1 are categories of sex, not gender. -Genesis 1:28a
Adam and Eve’s bodies are viewed as sacred. -Genesis 2:21-22
Jesus views Genesis 1-2 as normative. -Matthew 19:4-5
Paul sees the body as significant for moral behavior and correlates the body to personhood. -1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Romans 6:13
Scripture prohibits cross-sex behavior. -Deuteronomy 22:5; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
The incarnation of Christ affirms the goodness of our sexed embodiment. -Colossians 2:9
Sex difference probably remains after the resurrection. -Luke 20:35-36; Romans 8:11; 1 John 3:2
Jesus’ acceptance of the eunuch is not a pattern for understanding gender identity. -Matthew 19:12
Paul’s reference to neither “male or female†does not overturn sex differences. -Galatians 3:28
Summary points and next steps:
Biological sex and gender are linked together and important to God’s design.
Instead of transitioning, we should help people accept their bodies as part of their God-given identity.
Recognize the unique struggle for Christians who suffer with Gender Dysphoria.
As a church, we must strive to create a safe place where all people can find and follow Jesus.
Avoid defining gender according to stereotypes and embrace the diversityof expression in God’s design.
We must confront the lies of the current ideology because it is destroying lives.
We must never lose sight of the individual that Christ loves no matter how their lives have been impacted by sin.

Many throughout culture and even some in the Church believe the Bible has a passive or neutral opinion about homosexuality. But is that really true? In this program, Chip continues his interview with apologist Rebecca McLaughlin, author of the book “Does the Bible Affirm Same-Sex Relationships?†They walk through key biblical evidence that settles this debate - once and for all.Main Points
Introduction and Work:
Rebecca McLaughlin is a best-selling author and PhD from Cambridge, known for her work on apologetics and controversial Church issues.
Her latest book is Does the Bible Affirm Same-Sex Relationships?
Faith Journey and Challenges:
Grew up in a church-going family in London and has been a follower of Jesus since childhood.
Faced challenges to her Christian beliefs during her academic journey, especially on sexual ethics.
Experienced same-sex attraction from an early age, openly discussed in her mid-thirties.
Biblical Perspective and Sexual Ethics:
Argues the Bible does not support same-sex sexual relationships, linking marriage and sexuality to the gospel message.
Emphasizes the importance of addressing sexual ethics for understanding Christian teachings.
Points out the New Testament’s serious stance on sexual immorality and the symbolic nature of marriage in the Bible.
Countering Common Claims:
Rebecca argues that the Bible offers an inclusive vision of love among believers, distinct from romantic or sexual love.
She contrasts the emotional appeal of same-sex relationships with the biblical command for non-sexual, brotherly/sisterly love.
Christian Love and Relationships:
Emphasizes that Christian love is deeply committed and inclusive, but not sexual.
Highlights the significance of Christian fellowship as a fulfilling relational aspect of faith.
Understanding Biblical Sexual Ethics:
Counters the belief that the Bible only prohibits exploitative relationships by examining biblical language and context.
Explains that Paul’s terminology and cultural context indicate a broad condemnation of same-sex relationships, not limited to exploitative ones.
Understanding Romans 1 and Gospel Integration:
Romans 1 highlights various sins, including same-sex relationships, to show the universal need for Jesus and redemption.
Biblical texts condemning same-sex relations often emphasize redemption and grace, as seen in Paul’s letters.
Christian Humility and Jesus’ Teachings:
Christians should approach discussions on sin with humility, recognizing everyone’s need for redemption.
Jesus’ teachings on sexual ethics focus on deeper heart issues and the need for a savior, not just moral compliance.
God’s Boundaries and Fulfillment:
God’s commands, even if restrictive, are for our good and lead to deeper fulfillment.
Staying true to God’s Word may bring short-term discomfort but results in long-term joy and benefits.
Marriage and Ultimate Fulfillment:
Marriage is valuable but not the ultimate source of fulfillment.
True satisfaction comes from a relationship with Jesus, offering a love beyond human capacity.
Addressing Same-Sex Attraction and Identity:
Same-sex attraction does not define one’s identity or indicate a fixed orientation.
Encourages open dialogue and understanding, distinguishing between attraction and identity.
Supporting Those with Same-Sex Attractions:
Seek supportive Christian friends who uphold biblical truth and offer genuine love.
True friendship involves helping each other adhere to God’s Word, not compromising for comfort.

The 21st-century church has become so divided over the issue of homosexuality. Whole denominations of Christians have split apart about whether to include or exclude same-sex couples.

We must develop a more robust understanding and celebration of single adults in the church.

A lot of people, when they hear the words “Bible†and “sex,†think old-fashioned, oppressive, maybe even taboo or wrong. But in this program, we will get a different perspective based on what Scripture actually says.

We all know from Genesis 1 that God created the world and called all He made good. But not many of us remember that God also put human beings in charge of caring for creation. In this program, Chip continues challenging how Christians should think about the environment. Learn why Scripture proves God cares about our world and why we should, too!Main Points
The Question: How are followers of Christ to think, act, and respond to the controversial issue of the environment?
Examining the Scripture: What does God say about the environment?
The earth belongs to God. -Psalm 24:1-2 | Implication: We are to honor God’s creation. -Genesis 1:1
God appointed mankind “dominion†over the earth. -Psalm 115:16 | Implication: We are the earth’s vice regents. -Genesis 1:28, 2:15
The earth/nature has intrinsic value and reflects the character and beauty of the Creator. -Psalm 19:1-2 | Implication: We must explore not exploit; enjoy not worship the earth. -Romans 1:19-21
Mankind is placed in the middle of the created hierarchy and is uniquely responsible to God (above) and for the animals, plants and resources (below). -Psalm 8:3-8 | Implication: We are to use not abuse animals, plants, and resources to glorify God.
God commands environmental stewardship to protect the land, animals, and vegetation for the common good. -Leviticus 25:1-12, 23; Deuteronomy 25:4; 20:19-20; Matthew 6:26 | Implication: Consumption and productivity must be governed by the boundaries of conservation.
Christ’s redemptive work includes the earth. -Romans 8:19-21 | Implication: We must treat the earth with the same priority God does. -Revelation 21:1-4
Where do we go from here?
Recognize and focus on the 7-8 verifiable issues we can all agree upon.
Identify the 3 root causes of our poor environmental stewardship: Greed, Ignorance, and Carelessness
Practical steps for you and your friends/family.

Is global warming true? Is the Earth our sacred Mother? Are human beings responsible for “messing up†the world? In this program, Chip considers these questions from a biblical perspective. While this issue may seem unimportant, Chip reveals that God has some pretty direct things to say about His creation and our responsibilities to care for it.Main Points

Have you ever stopped and thought seriously about abortion? Forget what you have heard on the news or social media - what do you think about this critical issue and why? In this program, Chip will use various Bible passages to give us a firm foundation for what we believe. Discover what God says about the value of all human life and how He wants you to react when this issue crosses your path in real life.Main Points
Introduction: Regardless of where you stand, abortion is one of the most controversial, pivotal, and emotionally charged issues of our day.
Framing the issue = 2 positions… then and now:
The pro-abortion (pro-choice) position
The anti-abortion (pro-life) position
The issue today: Does the pre-born baby have an inalienable right to live under any circumstances; or does the mother have the right to terminate her pregnancy to care for herself and her family’s welfare?
If a pre-born baby is human life, then…
If a pre-born baby negatively impacts the mother’s mental or physical health or that of the welfare of her family and future then…
Examining the evidence… thoughtfully:
What does medical science say?
What does historical research say?
What does God say?
Two positions revisited: The pro-abortion camp | The pro-life camp
Application - responding to abortion today:
Finding forgiveness and healing. -Psalm 86:5-7, 1 John 1:9
Taking responsibility. -Proverbs 24:11-12
Establishing limits. -Romans 13:1-7
Acting in love. -Ephesians 4:15-18

Does it bother you when you hear a preacher tell people how to vote? Or do you wish your church would be more vocal about supporting specific views or candidates? In this program, Chip teaches what God says in His Word about the church, the state, and a Christian’s participation. Learn about the responsibilities of each party and how we can apply this theological framework to how we engage in the political process.Main Points
The Question: How to navigate through the maze of the church/politics conflict?
The Answer: Four biblical absolutes for building a theological framework to think clearly about the Church and politics.
There are two kingdoms in conflict. -John 18:36-37, 19:10-12
Every believer has dual citizenship. -Mark 12:13-17
Human governments are ordained by God to restrain evil. -Romans 13:1-7
The Church is ordained by God to make disciples. -Matthew 28:18-20
The Next Question: How do we move from a theological framework to specific applications for daily living?
The Answer: Understanding the roles and responsibilities of the church, the government, and the individual believer in the political arena.
Let the Church be the Church!
Don’t expect the government to achieve what only the Church can accomplish.
Don’t expect the Church to accomplish what only individual believers can accomplish.

It has been said that politics and religion are the two things you never talk about in public. But in this program, Chip dives head first into the tension between these topics by asking: do followers of Jesus have a role to play in the world of politics? Forget what you have heard on the news or read online, and study with us what the Bible says about the church, the government, and our involvement. Main Points

Are you concerned about your community and church as values and morality continue to shift away from the truth of Scripture? In this program, Chip begins a critical series to help Christians use the light of God’s Word to confront today’s most critical issues, without being combative or defensive. Learn why our call to be salt and light is needed now more than ever.Main Points
Personal Story of Confrontation: Chip recounts a pivotal moment in his family's life when his mother intervened with his alcoholic father. Her decisive action—giving him an ultimatum—led to his sobriety and eventual transformation. This personal story underscores the importance of confronting issues with care and clarity.
Call to Action for Christians: Chip highlights a contemporary issue where many Christians remain silent on controversial topics out of fear or a desire to avoid conflict. The message is clear: Christians need to be more vocal and courageous in addressing critical issues like politics, climate change, and LGBTQ+ matters, rather than remaining passive.
Historical Context and Church Role: Reflecting on past experiences in a progressive city and the impact of the book Culture Shock, Chip emphasizes the importance of understanding and communicating truth in a respectful manner. Chip advocates for addressing controversial issues with both grace and truth, grounded in biblical principles.
The Importance of Light Over Heat: Chip argues that Christians should bring light, not heat, to conversations about divisive issues. This means presenting truth with compassion and respect, rather than judgment or condemnation.
Need for Internal Reflection: Before addressing external issues, Christians must first examine and address their own shortcomings and hypocrisies. Chip stresses that judgment begins with the house of God and that Christians should live out their faith authentically.
Emphasis on Jesus’ Teachings: Drawing on biblical teachings, particularly from the Sermon on the Mount, Chip urges Christians to stand firm in righteousness, even if it leads to persecution. He stresses that the goal is not to be right for the sake of being right but to embody and communicate Jesus’ teachings faithfully.
Practical Application: Chip calls for a practical approach to addressing critical issues—engaging in compassionate dialogue, supporting those in need, and actively working towards solutions rather than merely criticizing from the sidelines.
Final Encouragement: The message concludes with a call to action for Christians to embody the light of Christ in their interactions and to not shy away from confronting issues with love and integrity. The goal is to reflect Jesus' love and truth in all aspects of life, making a positive impact on the world.

Imagine what it would be like if you needed wisdom, or deliverance from a difficult situation, or financial provision…and you could pray a prayer that God would answer 100% of the time. You can! In this message, Chip shows us how to pray with absolute confidence.Main Points

You can pray with absolute confidence. -1 John 5:13-15
How?
To whom is this promise made? -1 John 5:13
How must we pray to know God hears our prayers? -1 John 5:14
How can we know the will of God? -1 John 5:14 -- By the promises of His Word
How can we know God’s will when we have no promise for a particular situation? -Romans 8:26-27

Do you ever wonder about people who have such a connection to God, that they actually get answers when they pray? In this message, Chip shares how you can bring God’s power into your prayers. Better yet, when circumstances seem completely impossible, how to trust that He will answer. So much so, that you're able to weather the storm with peace and calm, like you never thought possible.Main Points
Acts 12:1-19
Four keys to powerful praying: -Acts 12:5
We must pray “unto†God
The basis of our assurance before God’s throne -Hebrews 10:19
The means of access into God’s presence 24 hours a day -Ephesians 2:18
We must pray “earnestlyâ€
We must pray corporately… “The Churchâ€
We must pray specifically… “for him†[the person]

We live in a day where people are obsessed with knowing their purpose. There are tons of tests and assessments out there to help you discover who you are and what you are supposed to do. But in this program, Chip asks: what do you do after that? Through this talk from his series, Life Lessons with Chip, Chip will help you pursue God's purpose for you and confidently live it out every day.Main Points
7 Facts to pursue your purpose:
God has a specific purpose for your life. -Ephesians 2:8-10
God wants you to discover and lilve out your purpose. -Psalm 32:8; Acts 13:36; John 17
God’s purpose is good. -Jeremiah 29:11; James 1:22; Psalm 84:11
God’s purpose for your life will flow from a variety of things: Natural abilities -Psalm 139 | Life experiences -Romans 8:28 | Spiritual gifts | Wounds from your past
You are responsible and will be held accountable for the discovery and the fulfillment of your purpose. -Matthew 25; 1 Corinthians 3
You will never discover your purpose alone. -Romans 12:4-5
God has two big agendas for your life and they are inseparable: His work in you to make you more like Jesus. | His work through you, fulfilling the purpose of your gifts and calling.
Principle: God must work deeply in you before He’ll work significantly through you.

Have you been in a painful season of life, and cried out, “God, where are you!?†In this program, our guest teacher Gregg Dedrick has an encouraging word to share. You will discover the purpose of hardships and trials, and be reminded of God’s faithful promise to be with us no matter what we will go through.Main Points
Joseph’s journey:
Dream fulfillment stage 1: The pit
Dream fulfillment stage 2: Potiphar's house
Dream fulfillment stage 3: Prison
What do we learn from Joseph?
Joseph had to wait because he wasn’t ready for his destiny.
Joseph’s faith had to be tested to trust God’s faithfulness through everything.
The pit, Potiphar’s house, and prison can either be the end of the journey or the preparation for the main event.
God is the God of the process. -Romans 5:3-5
It’s our test and our trials that produce the growth. -James 1:2-4
How do we grow in our faith?
Gain God’s perspective
Tests and trials
Surrender
Are you contending for God’s purposes in your life? Are you pursuing in faith your destiny, whether you’re in the pit, Potiphar’s house, or prison?

Whether we mean to or not, we often think of God as a fast food restaurant, where we place our order and expect God to give us what we want quickly. However, in this program, our guest teacher, Gregg Dedrick, challenges that flawed perspective of God’s character. Join us to get a clearer picture of our Heavenly Father as we study the life and faith of Joseph from Genesis chapter 37.Main Points

It has been said that that which is built in the flesh is maintained by the flesh, but that which is built in the Spirit is maintained by the Spirit. So, what does that phrase mean? In this program, Chip Ingram will explore that answer as he interviews his close friend and marketplace leader, Gregg Dedrick. Join us as we learn through Gregg’s life story how to build your life on God instead of chasing after earthly fulfillment.Main Points
Building in the Flesh vs. Building in the Spirit:
Building in the Flesh: Attempting to live the Christian life through personal effort, willpower, and self-sufficiency, which often leads to burnout and discouragement.
Building in the Spirit: Surrendering to God and partnering with Him, which leads to a more fulfilling and sustainable Christian life.
Gregg Dedrick’s Journey:
Corporate Success: Gregg achieved significant success in the corporate world, including roles as chief people officer and president of KFC.
Burnout: Despite his achievements, he experienced burnout in both business and ministry, feeling that there had to be more to life than what he was experiencing.
The Turning Point:
Surrender: Gregg's journey began with a surrender to God, recognizing his own self-sufficiency and the need for divine help.
Intimacy with God: He realized that his faith had become more of a code of ethics rather than a genuine relationship with God. This led him to explore a deeper intimacy with God.
Key Insights:
Adoration Prayer: Gregg discovered adoration prayer as a way to build intimacy with God, focusing on loving God for who He is rather than for what He does.
Misplaced Identity: He acknowledged that his identity and relationship with God had been performance-based, leading to a shaky and conditional relationship with God.
Transformation and Impact:
Shift from Devotion to Discipline: He transitioned from a focus on performing religious duties to a disciplined approach to devotion that opened his heart to God.
Impact on Relationships: This new understanding improved his relationships, including his marriage, by fostering a deeper and more genuine connection with others.
Practical Application:
Partnership with God: Building in the Spirit involves partnering with God rather than relying solely on one's own efforts. This approach leads to a more authentic and fulfilling spiritual life.
Book Recommendation:
"Building in the Spirit: Discovering the Life God Destined for You": Gregg’s experiences and insights are detailed in this book, which is recommended for those who feel burned out or are struggling with a performance-based faith.
Final Thoughts:
Working from Value: Understanding that God’s love and validation are the foundation of our work and partnership with Him brings joy and removes the pressure of performance.

What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit? And, perhaps more importantly, how do you get filled with the Holy Spirit? What’s the process? Chip explains what it means and what it does NOT mean.Main Points
Clarifying the terminology: Baptism does not equal Filling:
The Baptism of the Spirit - “The non-experiential, unrepeated work of the Holy Spirit at regeneration whereby we are placed into the Body of Christ.†F.F. Bruce -Acts 2, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Romans 8:9
The Filling of the Spirit - “The unobstructed, or unhindered, control or influence of the Spirit upon the believer’s life.†C. Ryrie -Acts 2:4, 4:8, 4:31, 6:3, 6:5, 6:55, 9:17, 11:24, 13:9, 13:52
Four principles to remember:
The issue is not getting more of the Holy Spirit, it’s Him getting more of you.
We are never told to seek an experience or gift as evidence of being filled with the Holy Spirit.
The conditions for being filled are: Obedience, dedication, yieldedness to God and His Word. -Romans 12:1-2, Undefeated life (dealing with known sin) -Romans 6:12-13, Dependent life -John 15, Galatians 5:16
The key perspective: It is relationship, not mechanical.

Does your faith often feel like two steps forward and one step back? You pray and read the Bible for a few days in a row, but then life gets busy, or you sin, and then you feel like you have to start all over. In this program, Chip will guide us to a new perspective as he picks up in his series, Going Deeper. Discover how to develop a rhythm of meeting with God from the example King David modeled for us.Main PointsDavid’s storyHe was neglected when he was young.He was belittled by his older brothers.Despite his victories and loyalty, King Saul sought to kill him.He was anointed as king but had to wait ten years before he became king.Although he faced betrayal, disappointment, and trauma, David maintained a practice of connecting with God.David's passion for God. -Psalm 27:4-11David's passion for the Word of God. -Psalm 119:9-11, 33-40Lessons from David’s walk:People who really love God have ups and downs in their walk with God. We are human. Our emotions rise and fall, but the Spirit says, “seek My face.”David’s core was a passion to know God. And his primary instrument was the Word of God.Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3 Message Notes Additional Resource MentionsDaily Discipleship About Chip IngramChip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.

When people talk about hearing God’s voice and exploring the Bible, have you thought, “I want that too, but I am too old†or “I am not smart enough?†Well, in this program, Chip has some much-needed encouragement for you as he continues his series, Going Deeper. Hear how to have genuine closeness with God as Chip studies the life and faith of Moses.Main Points
Moses’ Story
Born during a time of peril: The children of Israel were being persecuted by Pharaoh.
Adopted into an Egyptian family: Raised in a secular environment, yet he was exposed to his Hebrew roots.
Despite his privileged life, he comes to a point where he asks, “what’s life really about?â€
He made mistakes, such as killing an Egyptian, which led to his fleeing and living as a shepherd for forty years.
After leaving Egypt, Moses feels a deep sense of unworthiness, inability, and inadequacy.
God wants to walk with you step-by-step
He wants you to know His will.
He wants you to enjoy His presence.
He wants to guide and direct you.
Walking with God
It’s never too late, you’re never too old; God wants to walk with you and use you for His glory.
When you stop walking with God you get what you can produce, but when you walk with God you get what He wants to produce in and through you.
When you walk with God it can sometimes be lonely and difficult, but He’ll fulfill His good work in us. -Philippians 1:6
Takeaway:
You need to ask God for a passion, not just to get good things from Him, but to actually know what He’s like.

Are you longing for a more authentic relationship with God, where you understand His Word, enjoy His presence, and hear His voice? In this program, Chip kicks off his series, Going Deeper: How to Walk with God 24/7. Learn why this close connection with God isn’t reserved for the super-spiritual Christian but an intimacy He desires for every believer.Main Points
The way we walk determines our future and our life. -Psalm 1

The Christian life is a walk, one step at a time:
Ephesians 1-3 – This is what God has already done for us.
Ephesians 4 – Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord.
Ephesians 5 – Walk in love as imitators of Christ, walk in light, and be filled by the Spirit.
The Goal:
To experience God’s presence by walking with Him in truth, in light, at His pace, and according to the destination that is going to bring us the greatest joy and the greatest glory to God.
Mentoring is key to growing in your faith:

Can you imagine… you…actually saving a child’s life? And you don’t need to go anywhere, or complete any special training. In this program, Chip interviews Joe Knittig from the Global Orphan Project. Joe describes the widespread poverty tearing families apart and shares a very simple way believers can meet these needs in their own backyard.Main PointsPurpose and Importance of CarePortal:CarePortal is a platform designed to connect local churches with the needs of children and families in crisis, helping them avoid entering the foster care system. It provides a way for community members to address these needs in real-time.Joe Knittig’s Background:Joe Knittig had a troubled upbringing but was later transformed by his faith and became a trial lawyer. He and his wife decided to focus on supporting children and families in need, which led to their involvement in CarePortal.Child Welfare Crisis:In the U.S., over four million children annually face issues that bring them to the doorstep of the foster care system. More than 400,000 are in foster care, and over 100,000 are immediately adoptable. The crisis affects families across various communities, and the system is overwhelmed.CarePortal’s Mechanism:CarePortal acts as a "sharing platform" similar to Uber or Airbnb but for child welfare needs. Social workers and child protective services input needs into CarePortal, and local churches are then notified. Churches can choose to meet these needs, which could be anything from providing beds to assisting with rent.Impact and Growth:Since its inception in 2015 in Austin, Texas, CarePortal has expanded to 22 states and involves over 2,400 churches. It has helped over 82,000 children, with the number growing daily.Relational Approach:The goal is not only to provide transactional help but also to create relational connections between churches and families. This approach helps build community and support around children and families in crisis.Prevention vs. Intervention:CarePortal addresses both prevention (helping families before they enter the foster care system) and intervention (assisting those already in the system). This dual approach aims to reduce the need for foster care placements and support reunification.Statistics and Outcomes:Children who enter foster care often face poor outcomes, including higher rates of incarceration, homelessness, and involvement in sex trafficking. Preventing their entry into the system can significantly improve their future prospects.Getting Involved:Individuals interested in helping can visit CarePortal.org, select their role, and start contributing. The platform is designed to be intuitive and accessible for anyone willing to make a difference.The Church’s Role:The Church’s involvement can lead to significant systemic change and healing within communities. The Church can act as a unifying force to tackle the foster care crisis and support children and families effectively.Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3 About Chip IngramChip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.

Are you bogged down by the dos and don’ts of the Christian life? Have you ever thought, is there an easier way to follow Jesus? In this program, we will wrap up our series, The B.I.O Lifestyle, by learning – that burdened feeling is not what Jesus desires for us. Don’t miss Chip and our Executive Vice President, Andrew Accardy, discussing what it means to be ‘on mission’ for Jesus. Learn how that biblical perspective can lead you on a supernatural, life-giving adventure with Jesus.Main PointsBIO Operating System: Think of it like this: Before God, In Community, On Mission. It's about connecting with God, being part of a community, and living a purposeful life.Being on Mission: Being on a mission isn't just about going on trips or doing church stuff. It's about having a mindset of helping others every day, like Jesus did.Discovering Your Mission: Each person has a unique role in God's plan. It's like finding your special purpose and using your talents to make a difference.Restoring Christian Reputation: Sometime the Church is known more for what it's against than what it's for. Chip acknowledge the need to restore the reputation of Christians by living out their faith authentically, with love and compassion. Sharing Your Faith: It can be scary, but sharing your faith is important. Start by looking for opportunities, building friendships, and sharing your own story of faith.Practical Steps for Sharing: Keep it simple. Look for needs, make friends, share meals, and tell your story. It's about being real and letting God work through you.Living the BIO Lifestyle: Every day, check in with yourself. Are you spending time with God, connecting with others, and making a positive difference? That's what it's all about.Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3 About Chip IngramChip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.

Listen in as Chip and our Executive Vice President, Andrew Accardy, break down what it means to find a godly community. Learn how an intentional, loving group of Christ followers can make an eternal difference in your life.Main PointsIntroduction to BIO: Andrew and Chip discuss the ministry's focus on helping Christians live authentically, introducing the concept of BIO: Before God, In Community, and On Mission.Being Before God: Chip recaps the importance of daily connection with God through prayer, reading the Bible, and practicing His presence throughout the day.Being In Community: They define biblical community as a place where individuals meet real needs in a safe, supportive environment, fostering accountability and encouragement.Importance of Community: Chip emphasizes that authentic community is vital because loneliness is widespread, and genuine growth cannot occur in isolation.Challenges in Finding Community: Many struggle to find genuine community due to past hurts or rejection, and even extroverts can find it challenging to connect deeply.Authentic Community vs. Social Gatherings: Authentic community involves vulnerability, accountability, and deep relationships, going beyond surface-level interactions.Overcoming Challenges: Despite past hurts, rejection, or fears, taking the risk to engage in community is essential for spiritual growth.Creating Community: Andrew shares the story of someone who bravely asked for friendship, highlighting the importance of taking initiative in building community.The Transformative Power of Community: Chip shares stories of individuals who experienced life transformation through authentic community, emphasizing its role in healing and growth.Encouragement to Join Community: Andrew encourages listeners to take steps toward building or joining a small group, emphasizing the support available through resources provided by the ministry.Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3 About Chip IngramChip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.

Has social media and the 24/7 news cycle convinced you that winning an argument is the most important thing? Even when we talk to our kids, grandkids, or friends about Jesus? In this program, our guest teacher Aaron Pierce has some challenging words for us to think about as he continues his series, Not Beyond Reach. Learn how to have healthy, spiritual conversations with those we care for that will attract them to the Gospel. Main PointsGospel conversation vs. spiritual conversationGospel conversation – is the biblical narrative of creation, fall, and redemption that is centered around the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.Spiritual conversation – is presuppositional, which means that it addresses the underlying assumptions that the gospel is built on.How do you start a spiritual conversation?Ask the Holy Spirit for supernatural discernment. - 2 Corinthians 4:4Be WISE about your communication and avoid certain pitfalls.Everything has spiritual implications.Four things to look for during spiritual conversationsIdols – things they are putting their hope and identity in.Felt Needs – dealing with anxiety, depression, broken relationships, etc.Lies – things that they are believing that stand in the way of them hearing biblical truth.Truth – things they are already believing or living out that is in alignment with biblical truth.How do you appropriately engage in a spiritual conversation?You are not convincing people that you’re right. You are encouraging them to pursue the Truth.Create an open environment where it’s okay to doubt, ask hard questions, say something naïve, and process in real time.Have I failed if I don’t share the gospel?I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. - 1 Corinthians 3:6You are not the hero; Jesus is!Respond to the leading of the Holy Spirit.The goal is to move people closer to Jesus at every interaction.Broadcast ResourceNot Beyond Reach Resources Message Notes About Chip IngramChip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.

In this program, our guest teacher Aaron Pierce has the answer – as he continues his series, Not Beyond Reach.

Hear how sometimes even the most wholesome Christian activities can damage your spiritual health. Main PointsHebrews 12:1-2 "Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3 Message Notes Additional Resource MentionsPrayer Journal About Chip IngramChip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.

Main PointsIsaiah 57:15 "For thus says the high and exalted One who lives forever, whose name is Holy, 'I dwell on a high and holy place, and also with the contrite and lowly of spirit in order to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.'"Who you perceive God to be will be the most important thing about anything in your prayer life. - Luke 11Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3 Message Notes Additional Resource MentionsPrayer Journal About Chip IngramChip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.

Special moments with people we love are priceless. And once in awhile we experience the pure joy of gathering and really enjoying one another’s company. Do you know God’s preparing a place where His children will enjoy those priceless relationships - forever?

The outward circumstances may look impossible, but faith trusts in God in spite of how things look.Faith is not something that acts automatically; it’s not something that acts magically-not like a thermostat that automatically turns on and off.Faith is an activity; it has to be exercised.

One of the things we know about Jesus, He was practical. He told the disciples to feed a crowd and then provided the food. He taught about grace and then rescued a woman caught in adultery. He taught about serving one another, and then died on the cross, as the ultimate sacrifice. Practical love is powerful. In this program, Theresa Ingram brings a message about the practical love of Christ that meets you right where you are - when you need it the most.Main PointsWe reflect the heart of God as we love one another:We are commanded to love one another. - 1 John 2:7-8Our love for one another is proof that we belong to Christ. - 1 John 2:9-11, 1 John 3:10, 1 John 3:14God's love is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. - 1 John 4:7-13We are to love others as Christ loved us. - 1 John 3:16Love for others is expressed by actions, not by mere words. - 1 John 3:17-18Love for others is a choice we make, not always a feeling. - 1 John 3:23Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3 Message Notes Additional Resource MentionsPrayer Journal - GreyPrayer Journal - Brown About Theresa IngramTheresa Ingram has a passion to see women transformed as they learn to see themselves as Christ sees them.
