God Fights For You!

Apr 21 2024 30 mins  
Thus says the LORD to you “Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s”. 2 Chronicles 20:15 When the people of Judah face a fierce opponent in 2 Chronicles 20, there is a right response made by King Jehoshaphat. Even as he is afraid of the enemies of Moab and Ammon, the king calls for a fast over the land. His prayer in v

They Forgot About The Legacy

Apr 14 2024 42 mins  
In the Book of Judges, a sad thing happens to the people of Israel; God's chosen people for His promise: they fall into sin and disobedience. After the years of being delivered, crossing the Red Sea, and even settling into the Promised Land, the people have done the very thing God warned them not to do. They fell for the gods and idols of the people who surrounded them. Into t

The Gospel Of Me

Apr 07 2024 35 mins  
As we follow Christ, there is a tendency that can always creep in to lull our hearts away from Him. This temptation can take various forms. Sometimes we can ask "If I am doing all of this for the Lord, where is the payoff for me personally?" This can be very subtle and an idea that grows over time. We see that in other aspects of life, hard work = reward. But often the re

Marching Around Jericho

Mar 31 2024 35 mins  
And the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city, all the men of war going around the city once. Thus shall you do for six days.” Joshua 6:2,3The battle of Jericho was a unique battle in the timeline of Israel's history as a nation. Having taken fresh steps into the Promised Land,

What Is Truth?

Mar 24 2024 36 mins  
Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.” Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no gu

10 Years Of Carry On

Mar 03 2024 36 mins  
On March 11, 2014 my (Derek's) debut album Carry On was released. It is amazing to think it has now been 10 years since that release date. A lot of life has happened in that space of time. This podcast episode is a slight detour from our normal content, but it's purpose is to celebrate and give God glory through what He has done. Carry On was, in many ways, a first step i

A Look At The Hiding Place - Part 2

Feb 25 2024 36 mins  
The second in this 2 part series on The Hiding Place, this episode finishes out the story and pulls some more themes together. Through the extraordinary faith of Corrie and her sister Betsie, they are able to see the love and grace of God despite the dark circumstances they encounter. Both go through months of imprisonment because they were part of the Dutch Resistance. But they ha

A Look At The Hiding Place - Part 1

Feb 18 2024 42 mins  
In this first part of a 2-part series, Derek takes a look at favorite book: The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom. The Hiding Place is a story of extraordinary faith and trust in God's plan during one of the darkest periods in history: World War II. The story of Corrie and the ten Boom family is remarkable. Through their efforts, it is estimated some 800 Jews were saved. In this

Avoiding A Hardened Heart

Feb 11 2024 40 mins  
This week's episode takes a look at the concept of a hardened heart. We see this throughout Scripture and really it's a posture we can knowingly or unknowingly fall into if we aren't in right relationship with the Lord. Certainly we see the hardening of Pharaoh's heart in resisting God's call to free His people. We also see Israel itself hardening its heart

Anger For God’s Compassion - Jonah 4 (THE BOOK OF JONAH)

Feb 04 2024 38 mins  
Coming to the end of Jonah, we look for a tidy wrap-up and conclusion to a short book that has many twists and turns. But perhaps the question we want answered most, "What happens to Jonah?" is left unresolved. We see through this chapter that Jonah still has a deep sense of pride and contempt in regards to the Ninevites. We see that God provides something for Jonah (a pl
