In this episode, Kimberly and John discuss what might be the most overlooked financial principle in the Bible: The heavenly bank account God opens for every single born-again believer. Inspired by a sermon from pastor Lon Solomon, Kimberly lays out the remarkably commercial language the Apostle Paul uses in Philippians 4:17 — words like karpos (profit), plionazomta (abounding interest), and logon (ledger account) — to show us that God's investment system is more tangible and more generous than anything Wall Street has ever dreamed up.

This isn't the prosperity gospel. Not even close. This is a biblical investment principle rooted in the condition of our hearts — and the return doesn't just show up as a check in the mail. It shows up as peace, purpose, joy, wisdom, strength, answered prayers, and yes, sometimes finances too. God knows exactly what we can handle and when we can handle it.

They also talk honestly about what it looks like to bury your gifts — and how that retirement lifestyle of TV, golf, and vacations with no eternal purpose leaves people feeling exactly as empty as you'd expect. Spiritual bankruptcy is terrible!

Whether you're chasing toddlers or you're retired, whether you're giving out of abundance or out of poverty like the widow with her two mites — your account is open, your deposits count, no one else can make deposits in your account and… nobody can rob you bank!

Starting with God's Word, they discuss what the Bible actually says about God's nature — that he is infinitely righteous, just, and loving — and how that matters when we're tempted to judge God by our own limited, human perspective. But here's the twist: When you really look at what Jesus has done for us, there is only ONE who hasn't been treated fairly in this whole story. Jesus paid a debt he didn't owe, for people who didn't deserve it, and then on top of that, he offers us eternal life, rewards, and the fruit of his Spirit. That's not fair to HIM— but it is lavish, extravagant grace to the entire human race. And…He loves us so much, He thought we were worth the weight of unfairness He took in order to reconcile us to Himself. Hallelujah, what a Savior!

From Peter stepping out of the boat to Paul waiting blind in Damascus for three days to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego standing firm in front of a blazing furnace—the pattern is the same. Partial trust is not trust at all. We must be “all in” if we want to reap the marvelous benefits of life in God. The Bible makes it clear that the difference between “partial trust” (whatever that is) and fully trusting is a life that looks like a shriveled shrub dying in the desert verses a fruitful tree by the river. My friend, we either trust God enough to step into the furnace—or we don’t. 

This episode gives honest, practical, and deeply encouraging tools for those of us who have prayed Proverbs 3:5-6 in the morning and then white-knuckled our way through a crisis by 10 AM. 

Drawing from Philippians 4 and 1 Timothy 6, they share life-changing truths for having contentment. This conversation is practical, personal, and deeply encouraging. If you have been feeling restless, stretched thin, worried, or just plain discontent, this episode is a reminder that lasting contentment is not found in better circumstances. It is found in Christ.

Kimberly and John have a heartfelt conversation about trauma, healing, and the hope we have in Christ. Drawing from Micah and other passages of Scripture, they talk honestly about the pain we all carry and how our choices keep old wounds open. There are choices we can make that leads us toward true healing. But there are also decisions we make that can make our trauma incurable. 

This episode is a reminder that while we do live in a fallen world filled with loss, grief, and heartbreak, we do not have to remain stuck in defeat. God does not ask us to pretend our pain is small, but He does invite us to bring it to Him, let Him search our hearts, and learn how to live in freedom for His glory.

In this episode of Truth in Love, Kimberly Faith and John McLarty reflect on a thought-provoking statement that reshapes how we view both this life and eternity. Drawing from Psalms 103 and 104, they talk about the beauty of creation, the kindness of God seen all around us, and how every good gift on earth points back to the Creator—not the creation itself. They also contrast the temporary sorrows believers face in this life with the eternal hope found in Christ, while reminding listeners of the sobering reality for those who do not know Him. More than anything, this conversation calls us to live with greater joy, compassion, and urgency, remembering that the people around us need to see the hope of Jesus through the way we live each day.

In this episode, they discuss what it really means to maintain control in life’s darkest hours. The answer may surprise you—it isn’t about fortifying oneself or finding solutions. True control comes through surrender to God. This is an amazing phenomenon. 

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ was in agony and under the unimaginable stress of betrayal and the full knowledge of suffering. Yet He remained in full control. How? His response shows us that the greatest strength is found in trusting our Heavenly Father—who is truly in control.

When trouble comes, the question isn’t whether we can manage it ourselves. The real question is: Have we surrendered every area of our life to God? Because when Jesus is truly our Lord, every crisis becomes an opportunity for God to work gloriously through us. Every struggle is an opportunity to shine for God’s glory.

In this episode, Kimberly and John discuss the difference between the love the world promotes and the love the Bible describes. The world often defines love through romance, emotion, and personal fulfillment and yet, we see the wreckage of broken relationships and disappointment all around us. Do you ever wonder why?

Well, the Bible tells us something radically different about love: God is love (1 John 4:8). Because we are created in His image, we long for the kind of love only He can give. His love only comes from Him. 1 Corinthians 13 reveals what real love looks like—patient, kind, selfless, and enduring. This kind of love isn’t something we can manufacture ourselves. True love begins when we are born again and allow Christ to vibrantly live through us.

When we abide in Him and renew our minds in God’s Word, His love begins to overflow into every relationship in our lives.

Instead of constantly searching for love from others, we begin living from the fullness of God’s love—the only love that never fails. The greatest love story begins with these words:  “For God so loved the world…”

Looking at 1 Corinthians 1, Kim and John discuss how the world tends to measure people by talent, influence, intelligence, and success. But God’s pattern is completely different. Throughout the Bible—and throughout history—He consistently chooses the overlooked and unlikely to accomplish His greatest work.

From Moses—the reluctant speaker whom God sent to confront Pharaoh (Exodus 4:12), to Gideon hiding from the enemy who was called to lead just 300 men to defeat a nation (Judges 6:12), to David the young shepherd anointed as king who faced the giant Goliath and later refused to harm God’s anointed despite the threat to his own life—the Bible is filled with examples of God transforming ordinary lives into vessels of extraordinary importance. Even the disciples were fishermen and tax collectors, yet through the power of God, they helped turn the world upside down.

But what does it actually look like today?

Kim and John explain that the greatest miracle isn’t fame, success, or worldly achievement. The most extraordinary work God accomplishes through His people is the salvation of a soul and the transformation of a life through Jesus Christ. History reminds us that God often uses the simplest acts of obedience to spark extraordinary impact. Billy Graham was brought to a church service by a neighboring dairy farmer, where he gave his life to Christ. D. L. Moody was led to the Lord by a humble shoe salesman. Both men later became powerful ministers whose influence reached around the world—proof that when ordinary people simply share the gospel, God does extraordinary things.  

Through personal stories, biblical examples, and practical encouragement, this episode reminds us that extraordinary faithfulness doesn’t require extraordinary ability—it requires humility, surrender, and a close relationship with God.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your life can truly make an eternal difference, this conversation will remind you that God is still writing extraordinary stories through ordinary people every day. 

In this episode, Kimberly Faith and John McLarty explore Jeremiah 32–33, where God tells Jeremiah to buy a field while Jerusalem is under siege. The city is starving. Destruction is imminent. From a human perspective, the command makes no sense.

Yet Jeremiah obeys.

Through this powerful moment, we see that greatness isn’t about status, success, or recognition. It’s about trusting God beyond our own logic. It’s about standing firm in God’s truth when compromise is popular and investing in what has eternal value—even when we cannot see any immediate results.

God’s promise to us today is still the same: “Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.”

True greatness begins with surrender.

In Episode 77, Kimberly Faith and John McLarty explore a powerful and convicting truth: whatever dominates our thoughts, passions, worries, and actions is what we worship. And what we worship ultimately forms our identity.

Drawing from foundational Scriptures like Exodus 20:3 and Matthew 22:37–38, this conversation challenges the conventional idea of worship as singing or raising hands on Sunday. Instead, worship is revealed as the organizing center of our lives. Whether it’s career success, parenting, sports, relationships, retirement dreams, or even ministry itself—when good things become the ultimate passion in our life, they  reshape who we become.

Kimberly shares transparently from her own journey—how sports, career, family roles, and even ministry goals have competed for first place in her heart. Together, she and John discuss how misplaced worship creates anxiety, identity crises, and emotional instability, while worship rooted in Christ restores peace, joy, and purpose.

With references to Psalm 16:11, Psalm 107:9, John 6:35, and Ephesians 2:10, this episode reminds listeners that God alone satisfies our soul’s greatest longing. When our identity is anchored in Him, circumstances may change—but our joy does not.

If you’ve ever asked, “Who am I now?” after a life transition—or felt anxious because something you love feels uncertain—this episode offers clarity, hope, and a practical path back to the presence of God. 

Worship shapes identity. The question is: what or who are you worshiping?

God designed the church as a primary instrument for renewing your mind.

When we are born again, we receive the mind of Christ. But spiritual maturity happens as we consistently choose that mind over the flesh. One of the greatest ways God strengthens that choice is through fellowship with other believers.

From Nehemiah rebuilding the wall with “a mind to work,” to Daniel calling on Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego before facing an impossible decree, Scripture shows us that God’s people grow stronger together. The church is not optional spiritual extra credit — it is God’s structure for equipping, sharpening, correcting, encouraging, and maturing His people.

Ephesians 4 reminds us that God gave the apostles, prophets, pastors, and teachers “for the equipping of the saints” until we reach the fullness of Christ. In other words, we are not meant to be freelance Christians navigating spiritual warfare alone.

In this episode, Kimberly and John explore how:

• Fellowship strengthens our resolve to choose the mind of Christ.

• Obedience rooted in love becomes contagious within community.

• Humility is essential to functioning as part of the body.

• Watching Jesus live through others renews our own thinking.

When believers gather, something powerful happens. We see Christ expressed in different gifts, passions, ministries, and personalities. And in seeing Him at work in others, our own minds are renewed.

Spiritual growth isn’t isolation — it’s participation.

God’s Word is a mirror (James 1), and it’s so easy—even for believers—to say our identity is in Christ while still living as though it’s being shaped by other authorities like performance, approval, comparison, or the fear of losing what matters most. The conversation contrasts three “identity lenses”—works-based religion, atheism, and biblical Christianity—and explains why only the Biblical view offers true value and freedom.

The episode then turns practical, walking through three questions that reveal where identity is truly anchored. The hope is that listeners walk away seeing themselves as God’s workmanship—His masterpiece—created for His glory, and free to live from who they are in Christ. When we belong to God because Jesus has redeemed us; we are made priceless. It’s a marvelous experience.

The discussion explores why pride often disguises itself as independence, self-reliance, or control, and how humility is not passivity or insecurity, but power under the control of Almighty God. Drawing from passages such as Isaiah 57, 1 Peter 5, Philippians 2, and the Beatitudes, this episode highlights how humility positions believers to receive God’s enormous power and to walk with confidence rooted in Christ—not self.

Kimberly and John also explain how thankfulness cultivates this all-important quality of humility. Humility is a multifaceted gift that makes believers approachable and effective in ministry. Living with God-centered confidence allows His power to work through us. The episode concludes with a clear reminder: Humility is the key to eternal greatness because it channels the Almighty power of God through us.

In this episode of the Truth in Love Podcast, Kimberly Faith and John McLarty examine the critical difference between true righteousness and self-righteousness. Together, they explore what righteousness actually means according to God’s Word, and why humanity cannot produce it on their own. God provides true righteousness through Jesus Christ. It has nothing to do with us.

The conversation examines the two essential aspects of biblical righteousness—positional righteousness and practiced righteousness—and shows how misunderstanding either one can lead to fear-driven obedience, performance-based spirituality, and pride disguised as holiness. With personal testimony, Biblical clarity, and practical application, this episode calls believers back to a life motivated by love rather than obligation.

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like you have to “prove” your faith, wrestled with spiritual comparison, or wondered why obedience sometimes feels heavy instead of joyful, this episode offers freeing truth rooted in God’s grace.

Together, they help listeners see distraction not only as a modern brain-and-attention problem, but also as a spiritual issue that affects our peace, our relationships, and our ability to glorify God. With Scripture as their foundation, they share practical, simple strategies to fight back: identify what’s stealing your attention, saturate your mind with God’s Word, replace unhealthy thoughts with God’s thoughts, and stay in constant communication with the Lord through prayer.

This conversation is both honest and hopeful—because with Jesus, focus can be restored, peace can return, and we can become more present with God and with the people He’s placed in our lives.

Against the backdrop of global turmoil and personal hardship, they explore suffering through a biblical lens—contrasting God’s eternal perspective with the world’s tendency to see pain as pointless or cruel. Drawing from Scripture and real-life experiences, they discuss how suffering entered the world through sin, yet how God consistently redeems suffering for His glory and our good.

Through powerful biblical examples—Joseph in prison, Job in unimaginable loss, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace, and ultimately Jesus Christ on the cross—this conversation reminds listeners that suffering is never wasted when God is on the throne of our hearts. Rather than asking “Why?” in times of pain, Kimberly and John encourage believers to ask “Who?”—and to draw near to the God who promises His presence in every storm.

This episode offers comfort, clarity, and a renewed call to intimacy with God, especially when life hurts the most.

Kimberly and John revisit the foundation laid in the previous episode: the biblical reasons a born-again believer cannot lose their salvation. With that groundwork in place, they carefully explore why certain verses have been misinterpreted and how Scripture, read alongside Scripture, paints a consistent picture of God’s nature, His grace, and His promises.

Together, they discuss warnings meant for believers who refuse to grow, passages aimed at legalistic Christians drifting into self-reliance, and verses directed not to believers at all—but to those who were never saved in the first place. Through practical examples, biblical context, and heartfelt clarity, this episode helps listeners replace confusion with confidence in God’s character and His gift of eternal life.

Using clear biblical reasoning and relatable illustrations—from adoption and legal verdicts to gifts and spiritual rebirth—this conversation explains why salvation is rooted not in human performance, but in the finished work and unchanging nature of God. Kimberly and John discuss seven biblical reasons that salvation cannot be lost, showing how justification, eternal life, grace, the sealing of the Holy Spirit, Christ’s completed sacrifice, new spiritual birth, and God’s character all point to one unshakable truth: what God declares finished cannot be undone.

This episode offers clarity, reassurance, and peace for believers who have wrestled with doubt, and it sets the stage for next week’s discussion on commonly misunderstood verses that are often used to challenge eternal security.

This episode reminds listeners that confidence in salvation rests not in what we do for God, but in what God has already done for us through Jesus Christ.

Rather than a checklist of spiritual duties, the armor becomes a relational picture: when Christ is at the center, we are protected, stable, and effective. When self, culture, or lies replace Him at the center, our “gear” loosens and we become anxious, vulnerable, and ineffective on the battlefield. With vivid military illustrations, personal testimony, and practical examples from business, daily life, and past seasons of drifting, Kimberly and John urge listeners to step into the new year fully suited up in Christ—fighting from His victory, not for it.

Together, Kimberly and John discuss what humility truly means from a biblical perspective—not self-deprecation, false modesty, or weakness, but the Spirit-given ability to step out of the exhausting cycle of self-focus and step into the freedom of Christ-centered living. They discuss how pride subtly distances us from God, how humility aligns us with His blessing, and how embracing this gift reshapes our desires, our thinking, and our daily choices.

This conversation is rich with relatable stories, Scripture-driven insight, and a powerful reminder that the greatest Christmas gift is not only that Christ humbled Himself for us, but that He enables us to walk in humility with Him. As Christmas approaches, this message invites us to shift our gaze from ourselves to our Savior—the One who frees, restores, and empowers us to live with purpose and joy.

They share an illustration comparing our spiritual life to a pond: a pond dug deep enough stays clear, healthy, and vibrant—just like a soul rooted deeply in Scripture stays alive, refreshed, and continually renewed. Kimberly also shares personal stories of how God’s Word has transformed her thought life, helping her respond with grace, pray for people who offend her, and replace negative thoughts with Christlike actions. Together, she and John remind us that one of the greatest gifts we can give during Christmas is to let the Living Word flow through us so that others can see Jesus reflected in our peace, joy, and love.

Kimberly shares how studying these crowns has reawakened her desire to live each day with eternity in mind—seeing that everything we think, say, and do truly matters. John reflects on the joy, motivation, and personal responsibility that come when we realize God desires to bless us, not only in eternity but right now.

Together, they examine the biblical passages behind each crown—righteousness, life, glory, the incorruptible crown, and the crown of rejoicing—and how each one fuels courage, surrender, spiritual discipline, and deeper love for Jesus. This Christmas season, they remind us that the greatest gifts are not under the tree—they’re the eternal rewards God lovingly sets aside for His children.

This conversation invites listeners to shift their gaze upward—from temporary concerns to the eternal rewards God promises to those who love Him, serve Him, and persevere faithfully. Kimberly and John layout five powerful biblical rewards tied to the judgment seat of Christ—rewards rooted not in earning salvation, but in living with the right motivation: loving obedience to Jesus.

Through Scripture, real-life stories, and deep spiritual insight, they discuss the beauty of entering the joy of the Lord, shining forever, receiving personal commendation from Jesus, reigning with Him, and sharing in the inheritance promised to all believers. It’s a stirring reminder that everything we do for Christ matters—and those unseen acts of obedience ripple into eternity.

This episode sets the tone for a rich December series that will help listeners celebrate Christmas not only with gratitude for Christ’s birth, but with renewed purpose for why they are here and what truly lasts forever.

Kimberly and John discuss the spiritual anatomy of human design—body, soul, and spirit—and explain how every believer operates with two potential minds, or “operating systems.” The Bible discusses two distinct minds: the carnal mind and the spiritual mind. Using Romans 8:5–8 as their foundation, they show how peace becomes the true measure of which mind we are living from.

Through candid discussion, relatable analogies, and Biblical insight, this episode helps listeners identify whether their thoughts are rooted in the flesh or guided by the Spirit. Kimberly and John share personal reflections on anxiety, surrender, and daily mental discipline—illustrating that true transformation comes not by striving to control our minds, but by yielding them to God’s will.

As the conversation unfolds, they contrast the hopelessness of secular humanism with the purpose and peace found in Biblical truth, reminding us that the mind of Christ isn’t just available—it’s meant to be lived from daily.

This episode will leave you examining your own mental patterns and asking: Which mind is leading my life today—the carnal mind or the mind of Christ?

Ashlee opens up about her 14 years of military service, her battle with PTSD, and the moment she surrendered everything to Christ in a raw and honest cry for healing. With refreshing transparency, she reminds listeners that God doesn’t ask us to clean up before coming to Him—He meets us exactly where we are, ready to restore what’s been shattered.

Through laughter, vulnerability, and truth, Kimberly and Ashlee explore the tension between identity and surrender, the beauty of discipleship, and how obedience unlocks true freedom. Whether you’ve faced your own “hurricane within” or are simply longing for peace, this conversation will leave you encouraged to trust God with your story—because He writes it better than we ever could.

Robert and Kimberly talk about grace over works, why love and truth must travel together, and how simple, biblical patterns—preach the gospel, disciple personally, train leaders—multiplied churches across Panama and beyond. You’ll hear about practical evangelism tools (the Jesus Film, correspondence courses), the power of everyday faithfulness (mentors like Jeannie Champagne, Tom Harden, Milton Martin), and God’s providence in restoring Robert’s Spanish to serve others. If you’ve ever wondered whether God can use ordinary people and small decisions to shape eternal outcomes, this story will strengthen your hope—and invite you to surrender everything to Jesus.

Drawing from Scripture and the writings of well-known atheists and philosophers such as David Foster Wallace, Christopher Hitchens, Aldous Huxley, and Jean-Paul Sartre, Kimberly reveals that even the most intellectual opponents of faith recognize humanity’s instinct to worship. But she also warns that what we worship determines whether we experience peace and satisfaction—or emptiness and despair.

Through Isaiah 58 and Matthew 22:37, Kimberly contrasts the futility of empty religion with the abundant life that flows from a true relationship with God. She identifies modern “religions” that even many born-again believers follow—success, pleasure, relationships, approval, even ministry itself—and invites listeners to evaluate what truly sits on the throne of their hearts.

Kimberly closes with a reminder that God alone satisfies the soul: “Whoever drinks of the water that I give him will never thirst.” (John 4:14)

This episode invites every listener to examine their heart, redirect their worship toward the One who truly satisfies, and experience the flourishing life of a “well-watered garden.”

Stephanie shares how Rudy’s decision to follow Christ sparked a ripple effect that eventually led her entire family to salvation after his death. Together, Kimberly and Stephanie discuss the ongoing journey of grief, the trauma of loss, and the surprising ways God has turned tragedy into transformation. From mass baptisms to discipleship conversations, Stephanie testifies to God’s faithfulness in the hardest valley of her life.

This conversation is raw, hope-filled, and deeply inspiring—a reminder that one life lived for Christ can multiply into countless eternal stories.

From testimonies of ordinary people walking through extraordinary circumstances, to deep discussions into Scripture such as the Beatitudes and practical studies on how to read God’s Word, each episode has been a reminder of the power of truth shared in love. Kimberly and John highlight favorite moments, including stories of faith through tragedy, courageous stands for righteousness, lessons on forgiveness, and the enduring legacy of believers past and present.

They also look ahead, inviting listeners to share questions and stories for future episodes, and reminding us all that God’s Word and Spirit equip us to face life’s hardest questions. This milestone isn’t just a look back—it’s a call to keep moving forward in truth, in love, and in faith.

Debbie opens her heart as a mother who prayed, believed, and ultimately witnessed God’s grace in her son’s final days. Together, Kimberly and Debbie discuss judgment, self-addiction, the hope of salvation, and the miracle of a prodigal coming home. Christopher’s legacy continues through the seeds he planted in others, including lives forever changed by his testimony.

This episode is a reminder that eternity is real, salvation is urgent, and God can use even our deepest pain to bring forth His greatest glory.

In this episode, Kimberly Faith and her father, John McLarty, outline eight real benefits of walking closely with God—benefits like peace, strength, joy, wisdom, and divine purpose. They explain how intimacy with God isn’t a vague concept but a practical foundation that shapes everything from how we make decisions to how we face hardship.

They also share five clear, biblical steps for how to build that intimacy: daily time with God, continual prayer, obedience, staying connected to the church, and cutting off anything that interferes with your connection to Him.

If you’ve been saved but feel spiritually dry, anxious, or misaligned, this conversation points directly to how to reset and return to a thriving relationship with God.

His journey takes us from generational Amish traditions and spiritual confusion to the peace and freedom of knowing Jesus personally. Eli’s story is not just about leaving the Amish community—it’s about discovering the true meaning of grace, experiencing the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and faithfully following God’s call across nations. Today, he and his family serve in one of the most remote regions of Central America, bringing the gospel to those who have never heard.

Whether you’ve ever questioned religion, wrestled with fear, or wondered what real surrender looks like, this conversation will challenge you to consider what it means to truly belong to Christ.

What happens when we read the Bible with a surrendered heart instead of just seeking knowledge? What rooms are we keeping locked in our spiritual house? How do we let God light up every part of us with truth and purpose? And why does it matter that Jesus is the Word—not just in theory, but in practice?

This episode is a call to open the door to transformation—by plugging into the power of God's written Word, allowing it to illuminate our hearts, renew our minds, and awaken us to the purpose and greatness God designed us for.

Esther opens up about wrestling with identity after returning from the mission field and how God reshaped her understanding of ministry to include the digital space. She offers insight into why visual design matters for the gospel, how creativity reflects God's nature, and the power of being a vessel of hope in fractured communities—including post-apartheid South Africa.

With grace and wisdom, Esther reminds us that our greatest identity is not in what we do, but in being children of God—and that even "ordinary" gifts, when surrendered to Him, can change lives around the world.

They speak plainly about what repentance is, why it's necessary for salvation, and how it shapes our relationship with God every day. This isn’t about checking boxes or following rules. It’s about letting go of sin and turning fully to the God who loves us and wants what’s best for us.

Through Scripture and real-life examples, they share how repentance leads to peace, renewed desires, and a deeper awareness of God’s presence. Whether you're questioning your salvation or just feel distant from God, this episode is a reminder that repentance is not a punishment—it’s a gift. And it’s never too late to receive it.

In this deeply personal and spiritually rich episode, Kimberly Faith and her father, John McLarty, sit down for a heartfelt conversation exploring the three biblical levels of knowing God:

1. Acknowledging God’s existence

2. Receiving the gift of salvation

3. Walking in an intimate relationship with Him

Through candid stories, biblical truth, and relatable analogies—from desert thirst to marriage commitments—they guide listeners through the transformative journey from simply believing in God to living in vibrant communion with Him. Whether you're someone who "has always known about God" or you're yearning for a deeper spiritual connection, this conversation invites you to evaluate where you stand and what it means to pursue the abundant life Jesus offers.

Don’t miss this episode if you’re ready to move from head knowledge to heart transformation—and experience a faith that’s active, intimate, and alive.

Together, they’ve spent two decades teaching English in northern Vietnam, living out the Gospel through relationships, hospitality, and unwavering love. Whether they’re holding hands in public, hugging students who’ve never known affection, or hosting “Library Night” in their home, their ministry is proof that God can use everyday acts of faithfulness to change lives—and even shift culture. This is a front-row seat to the presence of God in Vietnam, and a testimony of what God can do when we simply say “yes.”

Jeanne Champagne, Dennis Champagne, Wayne Gustafson, Sally Gustafson, Emile Phaneuf, and Connie Phaneuf share how God formed the group, inspired their music, and carried them through years of ministry—from local restaurants to church stages to musical productions like His Name is Jesus. Through laughter, tears, and stories of breakdowns, breakthroughs, and miraculous provisions, this episode offers a powerful testimony to the way God uses imperfect people to carry a perfect message.

From Lynn’s powerful testimony of her first answered prayer to reflections on the role of suffering, Scripture, and spiritual maturity in shaping an authentic prayer life, this episode offers encouragement for believers at every stage of their journey. Whether you're just beginning to pray or need a refresh in your prayer walk, this conversation will invite you to go deeper in relationship with the God who hears, speaks, and leads.

Prayer isn't a ritual—it’s a relationship. It's the outpouring of a heart that knows and trusts its Father.

Misty opens up about the struggles that once defined her—how instant gratification, rejection, and same-sex attraction shaped her sense of worth—and how all of it crushed her with failed expectations. When she finally surrendered her life to Jesus, everything changed. Through spiritual growth, obedience, and a hunger for God’s Word, Misty discovered what it means to be fully known and loved by the One who created her.

This conversation goes beyond testimony—it’s a message of hope for anyone struggling with addiction, identity, or finding lasting peace. Misty reminds us: your sexual identity is not your true identity. Who you are is rooted in the eternal truth of who God says you are.

From preaching to the walls as a child, to leading campus revivals and planting churches, Antwan shares his remarkable testimony of surrendering his independence to walk in full dependence on Christ. Listeners will hear how God called Antwan at a young age—not only to salvation, but also to shepherd others—and how that calling unfolded across high school campuses, college ministries, and beyond.

Kimberly and Antwan discuss the dangers of applause, the need for spiritual grounding, and the high cost of leading without cultivating a deep relationship with God. Antwan also shares about his book Last Chair Leadership, which explores the hidden cost of chasing visibility while neglecting inner growth.

This episode is rich with spiritual insight, encouragement, and practical wisdom for anyone pursuing leadership, purpose, or a deeper relationship with Jesus.

Through firsthand stories, historical records, and powerful personal insight, John reveals the vibrant faith of the Cherokee people, the courage of missionaries like Evan Jones and Jesse Bushyhead, and the revival that took place even in the midst of forced displacement. You’ll hear about constitutional crises ignored by a U.S. president, campfire baptisms under military watch, and the bold spiritual leadership that shaped the Cherokee’s remarkable resilience.

This isn’t just a story of tragedy—it’s one of triumph, discipleship, and enduring hope.

Dr. Francis emphasizes the importance of approaching Scripture reverently and personally—asking what God is saying to you through His Word. He outlines two major Bible study methods: verse-by-verse (inductive) study and topical study, stressing the vital role of context in interpreting Scripture accurately.

Listeners will also learn about key tools—from concordances to Greek and Hebrew lexicons—and how to use them responsibly. Dr. Francis warns that even trusted resources like topical Bibles can reflect human interpretation, which is why grounding in basic biblical concepts and a yielded heart is essential.

Dr. Kenny Franicis’ recommends using resources like Explore the Book by J. Sidlow Baxter for deeper book-by-book study and offers encouragement for believers to not only study the Bible but live it out.

The episode closes with a powerful reminder from Dr. Francis: God wants to bless us through His Word. As we consistently read and study Scripture—whether verse by verse or topically—we can experience the kind of growth described in 1 Corinthians 14: exhortation, edification, and comfort. Bible study isn’t just an academic pursuit—it’s a deeply personal invitation to be built up, encouraged, and assured of God’s love, care, and purpose for our lives. It's worth the effort to dig in and discover what God is saying to you.

Dr. Francis highlights the critical need for reliable translations—like the King James and New King James Versions—that are rooted in the traditional Received Text (Textus Receptus). He also explains why a good grasp of the English language and a solid English dictionary are indispensable for effective Bible study, especially when navigating grammar, syntax, and meaning.

A wide range of study tools are discussed, including:

• A reliable translation
  
  
• A good English dictionary
  
  
• A Bible concordance
  
  
• A topical Bible
  
  
• The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
  
  
• A Bible dictionary
  
  
• Greek and Hebrew interlinear texts
  
  
• Greek and Hebrew lexicons

Many of these tools are free and accessible through resources like Blue Letter Bible, making in-depth study more available than ever before. Kimberly and Dr. Francis also discuss translation philosophies and how understanding the original Hebrew and Greek texts can enrich our understanding of Scripture.

In this thought-provoking episode, Kimberly Faith and John McLarty take on a common misunderstanding about the nature of salvation in the Old and New Testaments. Many believe that salvation under the Old Covenant was earned through works and sacrifices, while the New Testament introduced grace through faith. But is that really what the Bible teaches?

Together, they discuss the nature of God, His unchanging character, and what it truly means that Jesus is "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Revelation 13:8). If you've ever wrestled with how Old Testament sacrifices relate to the cross—or questioned whether salvation has always been by grace—this episode will help you see the big picture of God’s redemptive plan.

Broadcasting from Marissa’s tranquil studio, Olive Branch Clinical Massage Therapy, the two women reflect on how hands-on healing can become a catalyst for inner restoration.

She breaks down the difference between Swedish and medical massage, how trauma manifests in the body, and how posture, pain, and profession are all connected.

Together, Kimberly and Marissa discuss how the discomfort of healing can often echo spiritual transformation—where growth comes through pressure, pruning, and perseverance. With warmth, authenticity, and humor, this episode encourages listeners to consider how God holds space for us in our pain, and how we can do the same for others.

Stephanie’s candid story of love, loss, and redemption will challenge and inspire you. This is not just a story about death—it's about the eternal life found in Christ, and how one teen's faith continues to impact the world.

With raw honesty and spiritual insight, Kimberly shares how chasing success, approval, and worldly passions led only to emptiness—and how surrendering fully to Christ brought true peace, purpose, and joy. She discusses the subtle ways even believers can live as “Christian atheists,” putting idols (even good things like ministry or family) ahead of God. But the good news? It’s never too late to turn around.

Whether you're feeling lost in the “saltwater and sawdust” of life or just need a fresh reminder of God’s love and purpose for you, this episode will meet you right where you are.

The Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15)(Daniel 12:1-2) is for non-believers—those who have never put their full trust in Jesus Christ. It’s not enough to simply believe in God’s existence; salvation comes from believing in Jesus and trusting Him as the One who died for our sins (John 3:16). Those who reject Christ will face eternal separation from God—the most devastating consequence of all. We were designed for a relationship with Him, and to be without Him is an existence of unfulfilled purpose, loss, and suffering.

The Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10) is for believers, but it is not about condemnation. Instead, it is a time of reward. Many Christians fear this judgment, but Jesus will not judge His followers for sin—He already paid for that on the cross. Instead, He will evaluate their faithfulness and reward them for how they lived for Him or didn’t live for Him.

Jeanne shares how Living Waters evolved from its humble beginnings and grew into a full-fledged ministry with the addition of other gifted musicians, artists, and storytellers. From their powerful musical drama His Name is Jesus, to their heartfelt performances across the Midwest, Living Waters remained steadfast in its mission to glorify God and draw people closer to God through music.

Originally, Living Waters recorded three albums which were released on cassette tape and vinyl. The first album, He’s Been Calling You, is being released digitally on all music platforms March 15, 2025! The other two albums will follow soon thereafter. We are honored to introduce this Spirit filled group to our listeners as the Gospel message of this music becomes a testimony “unto the uttermost part of the earth!” (Acts 1:8)

From being named UH’s Rookie of the Year and a two-time All-Pac-12 First Team selection to playing professionally, Megan reached the pinnacle of success in basketball. Yet, despite her achievements, she faced intense pressure at the D1 and pro levels—leading to a season of deep loneliness.

Growing up in a Christian home, Megan knew God from an early age. But at the height of her career, she found herself drifting away from her faith. In this powerful episode, she opens up about her journey back to Christ and how He reignited her purpose. Now, she’s on a mission to mentor young athletes—especially those in foster care—offering them guidance both in basketball and in life. Her goal? To bring faith, character, and the fruit of the Spirit into the game and be a shining light in the world of sports using her influence to glorify God.  

Affliction also shapes a powerful testimony. The way we navigate hardships speaks louder than how we handle blessings. Our struggles become opportunities to minister to others, showcasing God’s ability to bring purpose out of pain. By recognizing affliction as part of spiritual warfare, we learn to trust God fully rather than fight battles alone.

From blessing five loaves and two fish to thanking His Father before raising Lazarus, and ultimately, giving thanks at the Last Supper before His crucifixion, Jesus demonstrated how gratitude strengthens the soul even in suffering. When we embrace affliction with a heart of thanksgiving, it becomes a testimony of faith and a source of incredible growth.

They also explore the need for full surrender to God, highlighting that prosperity requires wholehearted commitment. The hosts discuss the transformative power of prayer, particularly prayers of gratitude and using a prayer list to maintain focus and consistency. Guided by Proverbs 3:5-6, they reassure listeners that making God the center of every aspect of life—social, family, work and church—is the only way to invest time and resources so as to capitalize what God has given us in order to enjoy lasting spiritual prosperity.

This episode equips listeners with actionable steps and spiritual encouragement to begin a journey toward a life of enduring spiritual richness.

Kimberly and John discuss how modern culture prioritizes only fleeting prosperity while God offers us a prosperity that we can never lose. It is spiritual prosperity that brings satisfaction; while physical prosperity always leaves you wanting more. The Podcast draws on the inspiration from Philippians 4:11, where Apostle Paul reveals his secret of contentment in all circumstances. Kimberly and John share how pursuing prosperity from God’s perspective results in lasting fulfillment. They emphasize that spiritual prosperity—gained through salvation, a rich relationship with God, and engaging in discipleship—results in deep satisfaction. One of the greatest manifestations of spiritual prosperity is the fruit of the Spirit being evident in every aspect of a believer's life.

This episode serves as a powerful reminder to refocus on the eternal and nurture the spiritual, and then, your life work will be both satisfying and enduring.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭68‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ When we belong to God, we get to be part of His miracles!

But both of these first two attitudes are counter to the pressure of the world culture. We are pressured to live independent from God and to do whatever we want. So how do we have the strength to live in these attitudes Jesus prescribes for us?

The answer according to God’s Word is given by Jesus in this next BE-Attitude. 
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭5‬ 

In this podcast we learn what the attitude of meekness is and how it strengthens us to live in every blessing God has prepared for us! 
#podcast #truthinlove #kimberlyfaith #beatitudes #meek #abundantlife

Ah, there is something we must mourn—otherwise—it destroys everything good our soul desires. When our attitude for living is to turn away from this one thing, we are freed to live in every blessing God has prepared for us! 
#podcast #kimberlyfaith #beatitudes #bestlife #livingyourbestlife

This attitude is foundational for BOTH salvation and for living the abundant life!

Do you know what Jesus meant by, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven?” (‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭3‬) 

Ah, it will suprise you how Jesus gives us this critical attitude for living to experience every blessing He has prepared for us!
