  • Thankful for moody radio & Dr Mark Jobe

    I listen to Dr. Mark Jobe everyday on my lunch break via Moody radio. Sometimes I revisit the sermons through this podcast. I am grateful for Mark’s faithful and consistent preaching of God’s Word. It’s often the encouragement I need mid-day to set my mind on things above. I love how clear and straightforward Mark’s teaching is on our new life in Christ!! Dying to the old self, putting on the new. Thank you, Dr. Mark!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Desert of Loneliness -- Part 1
Q: How should a couple handle premarital sex and financial concerns when one partner relies on Social Security?
The answer stresses honesty, conviction, and following legal and ethical guidelines, with a strong push toward abstaining from sex until marriage and seeking God's provision.
The Desert of Loneliness -- Part 1
Q: Is it wrong to want to get married in the eyes of the Lord without involving the government?
Mark affirms that marriage should follow the laws of the land and encourages pursuing purity, abstaining from sex until marriage, and seeking God's guidance rather than bypassing legal structures.
Moving Beyond Failure -- Part 2
Q: Louis asks why a good God would allow the tree of life in the Garden of Eden if there was danger and why the serpent was allowed; how does free will factor in?
Mark explains that God gave humans free will, which creates real possibility for both good and evil. The presence of danger isn't God's desire, but a consequence of giving creatures the ability to choose; God's plan includes redemption and love that works through those choices.
Love Stops for Healing – Part 1
Q: For most men who feel like their relationship is good but not great, what is the first bold step they can take after reading the Five Love Languages for Men?
The recommended first step is to initiate an open, honest conversation with his wife about the book, express a desire to grow, and discuss what makes her feel most loved; this conversation opens lines of communication and provides the emotional data needed to improve the relationship.
The Reality of Heaven and Hell -- Part 1
Q: Are you sure about the idea that dogs and animals have a place in heaven?
The message touches on questions about animal souls with lighter speculation, but ultimately centers on what the Bible says about humans and their eternal destiny rather than definitive animal outcomes.
