Intellectual certainty has long been a cornerstone of the Christian faith. But in an age of secularism, skepticism, and cynicism, our worldviews have been shaken. Various solutions exist - some double down on certainty, while others deconstruct their faith until there is nothing left at all. But Brian Zahnd offers a third way: What is needed is not a demolition, but instead a renovation of faith. Join Pastor Zahnd and myself as he shares with wisdom, candor, and humor. Brian Zahnd is the founder and lead pastor of Word of Life Church, a non-denominational Christian congregation in Saint Joseph, Missouri. Brian and his wife, Peri, founded the church in 1981. Brian is also the author of several books, including, Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God, Water to Wine, A Farewell To Mars, Beauty Will Save the World, and Unconditional?: The Call of Jesus to Radical Forgiveness, and When Everything's on Fire. https://brianzahnd.com/ Facebook: @Brian Zahnd Stay connected with Catherine: Catherinetoon.com FB: Catherine Toon, MD IG: @CatherineToon Watch on YouTube: Catherine Toon, MD (like & subscribe for more!)

Living in a world that presents countless ways to feel ugly, un-loveable and not enough can make loving oneself a hard, if not brutal battle. Filmmaker and artist, Amy Tompkins, candidly shares about a lifetime of struggling to love herself, her body, what that means in the world, and believing that she is worthy of love. As she has journeyed with increasing triumph in self-acceptance and self-love, the innate creativity and gifting to reveal the beautiful is being unveiled in her newest film "Stars in the Water".

God is Love and as Love, gives all His kids the power of choice - authentic free will. You cannot choose Love if you cannot choose to violate Love. We can choose Him, His ways of love or choose to rebel or run from Him and His ways of Love. He actually submits to our will, even as He is working to heal our will. That makes us powerful. We can choose Him/Love and life or not. What we cannot control is the consequences of our choices. Join me as I unpack this empowering and freeing message!

One of the most profound things the Godhead has performed in the work of salvation is to reveal the truth of Christ in us, the truth of the Father, and the true self in humanity.

What the Bible terms as the Fall of humanity sets the backdrop for God to work out the plan of salvation for humanity. However, when you start with a faulty premise you arrive at faulty conclusions.
