“Do more! Try harder!” These are common prescriptions for living your best life, but what if personal growth isn’t found in a self-help manual? Dane Ortlund helps us answer this question.
Who is Jesus? Do we truly see him as the Bible presents him?
We know we have sin, and sin cuts us off from grace. How can we be sure Jesus is our friend? Find out on today’s program as we remember the grace of Christ.
If we believe in Jesus, does he still keep his distance from us? Join Charles Morris today as he talks about our union with Christ.
Sometimes it feels like we’ve stepped too far away from Jesus’ love, but his embrace is never out of reach.
How does knowing we are right with God help us grow in Christlikeness? Find out when you listen to today’s program.
Are we able to live our Christian lives isolated from other believers? And how should we behave towards our fellow Christians?
Jesus promised that he would raise the dead, but do we believe it? Join Charles Morris to remember Jesus’ love for Lazarus, and His love for us.
Breathing is so simple, yet so profound. On today’s program, we are reminded of how Jesus’ grace brings life out of death.
We begin by the Spirit but how often do we try to finish the job ourselves? Today, Charles Morris helps us reflect on Christ’s love, and how we grow as Christians.

We need to look to Christ. We need to draw our strength from him. The way we grow is simply by looking to Christ. In Colossians 3, in Hebrews 12, and all through the New Testament, we are called to look out of ourselves and at Christ.
As we gaze upon him, as we see him in Scripture, as we pray to him, as we walk through pain and suffering that causes us to see him more acutely and clearly, as we ponder being united to him, as we think about our justified status, as we ponder heaven, all of this is, in a different way, looking at Christ. We are “setting the eyes of our hearts” (as Ephesians 1 puts it) on him.
This is not really a list of things to do. We go deeper in Christ. We get traction as we grow. We get momentum. We really are transformed as we look to Jesus Christ.
