  • Easy way to strengthen your faith

    Very helpful answers and explanations to some of the biggest questions about the Christian faith. Easy to understand and reshaped the way I think I about somethings. I feel more confident in my faith, who God is and my ability to share these things with others after listening. Definitely worth your time! The interviews with other leaders were super insightful too.

  • Biblical and True!

    JD Greear‘s answers to life’s toughest questions are founded in Biblical truth that will bring the aroma of life to those following it and the aroma of death to those against it (2 Corinthians 2:15-16). It’s no surprise that the ones leaving negative reviews are the ones smelling the aroma of death and rejecting what JD has been empowered by the Holy Spirit to say. The answers are meant to be convicting, because they go against our sinful choices, so some people won’t like what he has to say. St... more

BONUS: Which Bible Promises Apply Today?
Q: How do you discern whether something is a promise from God that should be applied today?
JD explains that promises can be unconditional, conditional, or national covenantal. They apply differently but can be relevant to believers today.
Why Does Everyday Faithfulness Matter?
Q: Is being a stay-at-home mom fulfilling God's will for Whitney?
Greear explains that faithfulness in everyday life is crucial and that roles like motherhood are significant in fulfilling God's purpose.
Why Does the Existence of Hell Matter?
Q: Are there any resources you would direct them to kind of dive into it further?
J.D. Greear recommends "Desiring God" and "Let the Nations Be Glad" by John Piper, along with "Bible Doctrines" by Wayne Grudem as essential resources.
Why Does Prayer Matter?
Q: Would you give any final encouragement to somebody who is laboring in persistent prayer, but maybe just discourage?
God's unanswered prayers cannot mean that He is absent or not listening, as demonstrated by the Gospel.
Why Does It Matter? Biblical Authority
Q: Does the idea of biblical authority apply only to the Old Testament?
The idea applies to both Testaments, as the apostles recognized their writings as scripture, establishing a continuity of scripture.
