What are angels? What do they do today? When people claim to have heard from an angel, how do we know if it’s real? Modern Christians often fall into two traps: disregarding the spiritual realm, or too easily believing claims about encounters with spiritual beings.

Join host Andrew Marcus as we discuss more Spiritual Things with Dr. Chris Berg! This time, we’re breaking down what angels DO and DON’T do according to the Bible, and why God operates t...

One of the most dangerous things we see in today’s culture is forgetfulness. A major event takes place, and it only takes a few days to forget and move on to the latest news. The same thing happens when it comes to our spiritual journeys. It is crucial for us as believers to remember. We must fix our eyes on all that God has done through His Word, and throughout church history with those who have gone before us. When we remember God’s character, we are filled with peace, hope, and a confidence in who God is and His goodness towards us. Join host Andrew Marcus as he spends time with his dear...
We are living in an interesting time to say the very least.

As culture continues to change, it seems that many Christians continue to adapt to the changes. Many people are saying yes and amen to things that should be avoided rather than encouraged and celebrated. What about swearing? The use of profanity in today’s culture is something that most people do not even think twice about. Is profanity something that Christians should use in their day-to-day conversations, or is it something that we ought to avoid? Does the Bible say anything about the use of swear words, crude language, crude joking? What about using the Lord’s name in vain, is that worse...

A lot of people quote the passage incorrectly and say that money is the root of all kinds of evil. They are missing one key word. Love.

Life is always moving quickly! As Christians, sometimes it’s important for us to take a moment, stop and remind ourselves of some basic definitions.
