Send us Fan Mail Can I love someone without agreeing with their beliefs? Absolutely. In fact, Jesus calls us to love our neighbors even when they don’t share our faith, convictions, or worldview. In Episode 20 of Ask A Pastor, we talk about what it looks like for Christians to love people of other religions and beliefs without compromising biblical truth. From the Good Samaritan to Jesus’ command…
Send us Fan Mail What kind of soil is your heart? Two people can sit through the same sermon, hear the same Scripture, and walk away completely different. Why? In Luke 8, Jesus uses the Parable of the Sower to reveal that the power of God’s Word is not the problem—the condition of our hearts is. In this message, we examine four responses to God’s Word: the hardened heart that refuses to receive…
Send us Fan Mail What happens when we truly pursue Jesus, allow Him to break down the barriers that keep us from Him, and intentionally bring others along on the journey? In Luke 8:1–3, we see Jesus traveling from town to town proclaiming the Kingdom of God—and He didn’t do it alone. The Twelve were with Him, along with women from remarkably different backgrounds and stories. Their lives remind us…
Send us Fan Mail Can Christians set boundaries and still love people well? Absolutely. In this episode of Ask A Pastor, we talk about why healthy boundaries are not the opposite of love—they can actually help us love others in a healthier, wiser, and more Christlike way. Jesus Himself modeled healthy boundaries. He withdrew to pray, knew His priorities, and didn’t allow the expectations or needs…
Send us Fan Mail Have you ever prayed for healing, restoration, provision, or direction—only to feel like heaven was silent? In this episode of the Ask A Pastor Podcast , Pastor Todd tackles one of the most difficult and deeply personal questions Christians ask: Why doesn't God answer my prayers? Together, we'll explore what Scripture teaches about unanswered prayer, God's timing, and how to trust…
Send us Fan Mail In this message from Luke 7:36–50, we encounter one of the most powerful pictures of grace in Scripture—a sinful woman who courageously lays everything at the feet of Jesus. While others saw her past, Jesus saw her heart. Her extravagant worship reminds us that no amount of shame, guilt, or failure can keep us from the forgiveness and love of Christ. In this sermon, we explore the…
Send us Fan Mail If Christians worship the same God, follow the same Savior, believe the same gospel, and read the same Bible, why are there so many denominations? In this episode of Ask A Pastor , Pastor Todd explores one of Christianity's most common questions by examining the theological, historical, cultural, and human factors that have shaped the denominational landscape throughout church…
Send us Fan Mail What do you do when Jesus doesn't meet your expectations? We all have moments when we expect God to move one way, but He works in a completely different way. Prayers seem unanswered. Doors remain closed. Healing doesn't come. In those moments, it's easy to wonder where God is and whether He's still working. In this message from Luke 7:18–35, we look at the surprising story of John…
Send us Fan Mail What happens when good biblical teaching gets mixed with fear, shame, and legalism? In this episode of Ask A Pastor , we explore the important difference between biblical purity and purity culture —and why that distinction matters. The Bible teaches that sexuality is God's good and beautiful design, created to be enjoyed within the covenant of marriage. Yet many people have…
Send us Fan Mail Life can change in an instant. A phone call, a diagnosis, a loss, or an unexpected conversation can leave us wondering how we'll ever move forward. In this message from Luke 7:11–17 , Pastor Todd reminds us that when Jesus meets death, death loses. As Jesus encounters a grieving widow carrying the unimaginable weight of losing both her husband and her only son, we discover the…
Send us Fan Mail Can the Bible really be trusted? Is Christianity based on blind faith, or is there solid evidence to support its claims? In this episode of Ask A Pastor , Pastor Todd explores one of life's biggest questions by examining the historical reliability of Scripture and the evidence for the Christian faith. From eyewitness testimony and fulfilled prophecy to archaeology and the…
