  • 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.

It’s Not Too Late -- Part 2
Q: I do have a question for Pastor Jobe in reference to being a follower and still full of anxiety and it seems like my direction is not clear as to which way God wants me to go.
The host explains that anxiety often comes from listening to lies, and a practical approach is to bring requests before God with thanksgiving, while focusing on truths and surrounding oneself with faith-filled people who can provide direction and support.
When Life Doesn’t Make Sense -- Part 1
Q: Dean, you identify several groups of cultural Christians. What are some common barriers these groups face in understanding the true gospel?
Dean Inserra explains that many people equate belief in God with genuine faith, but a 'lowercase g' God is often a vague, imaginary figure that doesn't reflect the biblical God revealed in Christ. Barriers include a generic belief in God, moral self-righteousness, and political or cultural loyalties that people mistake for salvation; the book argues the need to see sin, forgiveness, and the call to Christ for true salvation.
Who Am I? -- Part 2
Q: If you ask God to increase your faith, is that when he tests your faith, like when you ask for patience, is that when he tests your patience?
Two main ways God grows faith are hearing His Word to build belief and going through trials that test and refine it, with the latter often strengthening faith when approached with joy and trust.
When Life Doesn’t Make Sense -- Part 2
Q: How should I respond when my child is exposed to anti-Israel propaganda and seems to have a biased view?
The speaker advises ensuring you get reliable, balanced news sources, distinguishing love for the people of Israel from endorsing every governmental action, and encouraging open dialogue that emphasizes compassion and biblical perspective.
Staying Connected -- Part 1
Q: Dean, you say in The Unsaved Christian that we've been treating cultural Christianity as a discipleship problem when it's actually an evangelism problem. Can you explain what you mean by that?
Dean Nsara explains that many people identify as Christians because of cultural cues or church culture, but they lack a genuine encounter with Jesus and the gospel; true discipleship flows from a personal faith, not just religious familiarity, and evangelism is needed to reach those who associate with faith without experiencing true salvation.
